Site Information and Updates

Sometimes I sell items and lock in the profit/loss. Is there any chance the feature might get added to keep track of sales? Right now it looks like the only thing you can do to manage sold items is delete them from your portfolio but that doesn't keep track of the locked in profit or loss.

does this site show the whole life of a sets CAGR and monthly listing sold to date? It seems as it only shows about 1 year back.

Is there an easy way to have your friends show up on you homepage? It would be great when I logged in if I could see their progression.

I was just wondering when the brickfolio is going to be updated this month

I just added the 41999 crawler to my brickfolio and it said "congratulations you just added $0.00 to your portfolio." Then I added a Creator Sopwith Camel and it said "congratulations you added $115.xx to your portfolio" what's up with that? I would think at minimum for the LE crawler it would have added the current MSRP value to the folio.....

I couldn't find any info about having animated avatars. Are they allowed? All I found regarding avatars was they had to be family appropriate.

The new forum is LIVE and in what I am calling Beta Mode!! The reason I am calling it beta status is because I know there are still some items that need to be tweaked and figured out yet. Overall, it was a real pain in the butt and hopefully the last time I will ever need to do this. We both truly believe while it was unfortunate to take the forum down for this long, moving forward, the features and ideas we have for this will be worth it. A few things to note (the bad news): All your private messages are not on this forum, you will be starting over from scratch (sorry about that) You will need to add your avatar We are still working out the single sign o…

Looking through the forum it seems like nobody posted since around the time Brickpicker.com went down for me. I tried Internet Explorer and Chrome and those didn't work. I'm assuming it was some site maintenance work or something of that nature. Was anybody else not able to access Brickpicker.com for the last couple of hours till now?

Congratulations to Fcbarcelona101 for being the first Brickpicker member to cash out 20,000 Brickpoints for the #79006 LOTR The Council of Elrond. Fcbarcelona101 built a large number of his points doing set reviews and has done some fantastic blog submissions. Something tells me this is the first of many set purchases coming for him!! Great work Fcbarcelona101!!!

Hello everybody. I was thinking about how great this site is and came up with an idea for the owners of the site. If you guys read this could you possibly find a way to place a RETIRED logo next to the set as they retire. So when we are checking our brickfolio's we see which set just retired. Maybe even have a category within our portfolio that shows a retired section. Just food for thought. This site is fantastic and I use it almost everyday to feed my addiction for collecting legos.

I never thought I would have ever needed to write up a topic for this but very recent events and certain comments say otherwise. Almost every day, new topics are created bringing forth attention to certain articles, questions asked, or in some cases just for fun. Sometimes, however, the same discussion gets brought up from time to time with another newly formed thread. Now there is not exactly anything wrong with that. It is only natural to make mistakes and some threads can be difficult to find without knowing the right keywords to use in a search. So as a moderator, part of our job is to put similar threads together for various reasons. 1. A single thread is much easi…

I'm able to login in the forums, but as soon as I navigate anywhere else, my login is not recognized. For example, I am unable to view my Brickfolio since the site refuses to recognize any login while trying to view that section of the site. This includes the homepage of the site as well. I can click to log in, it says it's processing the login, and then when it takes me back to the home page I'm still not logged in. However, if I click over to the forums, I'm logged in here. Is anyone else having this problem?

I just want to give members some heads up to what is going on with the Brickpoints system as of today... As you all know there was a major conversion done to the site over to the new IP Forum and Blog system. To enable us to make the site more interactive and state of the art, this had to be done. The old Brickpoints log had to be scrapped. Jeff has yet to create a new one, focusing his energies to other, more important features of the site that needs his attention. Needless to say, the Brickpoints are being tallied as usual, just the Brickpoints given for approved reviews are being tallied separately since approximately June 1, 2013. Some of you have wondered …

Introducing Brick Classifieds!!! We are getting closer to releasing what we will call the beta version of the new Brick Classifieds feature here on BrickPicker.com and are very excited about it. To share in that excitement we have decided to release a short introduction video that will give a little more insight as to what we are doing. Our goal with Brick Classifieds is to give buying, selling and trading options that will hopefully work for just about everybody. If you are a big eBay fan, you can advertise your listings for FREE! Same for those of you are prefer to sell on Amazon.com. Within a few short clicks, you will be able to have your listing on our site so t…

Ed and I want to try out a new referral system to give you another way to earn Brickpoints. For any user that is referred to Brickpicker through your referral link and they register, you will receive 250 Brickpoints. We are going to call this a trial to see how it goes. After they register, you will see them in your referral system here: http://community.brickpicker.com/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=referrals The 250 Brickpoints will be awarded to you once the new member has posted 10 forum posts. We are hoping to get new members that care about LEGO, not a bunch of family signing up to give you points That's why we are saying we are going to tr…

Please would it be possible to have control of the header sections on the View Entire Collection page in the brickfolio? For example we once had control over how the entire collection was listed. Quantity high/low, Condition new/old, Set numerical ascending/decending, Purchase price High/low & most importantly performance % High/low. I remember I always had perfomance set High to Low during the Ninjago 2012 wave. Anyway just a wish I have. Thanks. Best regards Alpha.

Hello, some of you might have noticed the new BRICKPICKER CHAT feature. Jeff and I are testing it out and seeing what kind of responses we get from members. We will operate it from around 12 PM to 12 AM (Eastern Time Zone) so that we can monitor it and see if warrants becoming a permanent site feature. Let us know what you think...and as always, behave responsibly and treat others the way would would like to be treated. Thanks...

Right now, the Brick Store has only a small variety of kits ranging up to 1,000,000 brick points. Most of those kits are not interesting to me so I created this Topic so all we brickpickers could show what WE want in the Brick Store. P.S I am saving up for the Lego Minecraft Kit. Green Thumbs up if you are too!

Is it just my comp or it doesn't work? I'm getting error when trying to open

Hi, not sure where the best place is to sort this out. I posted a second blog post on my blog (Scissorino's Brick House) and then after it had been approved I then edited the title. It is now only in draft format and cannot be seen by others. How can this be rectified?

Example: I view the Eiffel Tower price guide page. http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=10181-1 I then want to add this set to my portfolio. Can we add a link on that page that when click, the "Add to Brickfolio: 10181-1: Eiffel Tower" page opens (http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/brickfolio_add.cfm?set=1867) why (for me) this would be great? It saves many clicks and streamlines the process of adding sets to my brickfolio. While on eBay, I always have the a set's price guide page open. If I make the purchase, I always then iimedately add it to my brickfolio. Currently (while in the Price Guide page for a set, I need to click "Brickfolio", …

Those of you that are creating new content in the Community Blog can now host your files right here on Brickpicker.com. You do not need to use Photobucket or any other resource any longer. It works EXACTLY like those services and will automatically give you the correct links to paste into the image component of the editor.. See below... There is a new link in the forum menu for "Image Hosting" Here is a direct link: http://community.brickpicker.com/ihost Let me know what you think!!

I haven't been on in a while. Keeping myself busy. I came on last night looking to read some blog articles and forum posts and it's like this place has exploded with content and this site looks to be very active. I still have more new articles to read. Nice job on the reviews and stuff. Good work everyone, there is some really good information here.
