Maybe if we all email Lego corporate expressing concerns about the Help Desk
situation, eventually they will at least address it in some way. Fixing it would
be ideal, but information would at least be nice.

(Yes I know they will probably just ignore our emails, but we have no other
recourse as far as I can tell.)

**This is in no way a criticism the humans behind the Help Desk or Admin.**

We DO pay fees every month……

I think it would take hundreds and hundreds of emails about this before LEGO
would even consider taking action to help the situation. I spoke with LEGO customer
service last week about something unrelated, but I also asked if they could look
into an issue I was having on BL. Part of the issue was that one of LEGO’s employees
recently opened a store and was selling loads of expensive minifigs that were
incomplete (missing heads and pauldrons, etc), and that BrickLink wasn’t addressing
the issue. The customer service rep put me on hold to ask a supervisor if there
was a way for them to contact BrickLink, and her response was that LEGO and BrickLink
are completely separate and they had no way of communicating with BL. LEGO, of
course, owns BrickLink, so there should be some channel of communication, but
their strategy seems to be compartmentalizing and putting a divide between the
two. I understand why they do that but, as a parent company, I suspect they would
step in if there were a huge outpouring of complaints or if BL became less profitable.
Most sellers have invested heavily on their inventory, so closing stores isn’t
feasible - I’m not sure how/if your proposed strategy would work. I hope someone
chimes in with a more helpful response
