Site Information and Updates

Hi... Jeff just added a couple of very useful features to the BRICKFOLIO. A 'search' option was added within the BRICKFOLIO to make it easier and quicker to locate a set. Another improvement is that you can now quickly see your sets from an 'entire theme' by scrolling through the theme selector in the upper right hand corner, instead of having to sift through each page. Also, your 'last set added' is posted above your list. This helps old and confused guys like myself remember what I just inputted into the BRICKFOLIO. We will be adding some more features in the near future. The new numbers for May 2012 will be up shortly. Thanks...Ed Mack

So while investigating all this site has offer, I stumbled upon the Brickpoints store. I was wondering, how does one acquire Brickpoints? Thanks.

Check it out...

Tried to upload some pics of a lot I just bough, but I keep getting an error that ends in 200. Was able to add a random different photo from my iPad, but none of these new ones. Any ideas? this is the error: There was a problem processing the uploaded file. -200

OVERALL BRICKFOLIO VALUE AND COLLECTION DETAILS It is only updated until december 2014. Anybody else has this problem. It could be because I adjusted settings to EUR ? or country (Netherlands / Europe)

I have this set entered in my brickfolio but it doesnt show up. Anyone else having this issue?

Hi, I have imported my sets from the Rebrickable site into My Brickfolio, what works very well. But I see that all sets has got the status "New". Is there a way to set the default status of the set to "used"? Since all my sets are in "used" condition and it is a lot of work to change set per set the status from "new" to "used"... Cheers, Ludo

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", …

I thought about an idea for a poll, but then I realized I have no idea how to make one. I might not be looking hard enough, but I can't find where to make one anywhere! Do you have to make some accomplishment to be able to start a new poll? Please help! Sincerely, A New Member in Need of Help

I love those sections - comments about how the set is predicted to do. Just a minor nitpick: perhaps have timestamp shown on those, so we know when those comments (The Brickpicker Account's Guide to [whatever set is being viewed]) was created? I was looking at a set - can't recall which one - and the comments seem like it would make sense months ago, but not more recently (because something changed about the set recently). I wish I could remember which set it was. I would hate to see something say "Plenty of time on this set, wait till price falls down" when in fact the set's close to EOL and I missed out on getting it at retail (better than reseller prices) …

I just sold a few sets from my Brickfolio and I was hoping there was a way to list the sale price and track my profits. Is that an option on Brick Picker?

Hi. I wondered why the Coruscant Gunship shows up at Amazon List price of £109.99 but it is quite obviously £49.99 What's going on?

Hi all, I tried to change my location, but can't seem to find where to do it. It shows me as in Germany, but I live in the USA. Thanks, Bobby

We just added a new feature that keys in on older and retired LEGO sets and their appreciation potential. I wrote a new BLOG ARTICLE about it. Here is the new TOP PERFORMING RETIRED SET CHART. Check it out and I hope it helps you find a hidden gem of a LEGO set...

I have been working a lot with the tech support team of the forum, and while the forum worked, it is not working in its true native environment. Late yesterday I purchased a new dedicated server just for the forum. Loads of memory, SSD hard drives, etc. Hopefully you will be able to notice the difference already in responsiveness to normal page views in the forum. I need to update the links on the menus but the new web address will now be http://community.brickpicker.com. Thank youJeff

I was randomly looking at sets and pulled up 6208 B-Wing Fighter. Along the right hand side under Current Offers it shows a link for "The Plastic Brick". I have not noticed them before. Are they a new affiliate or was I just blind all this time? Also, when I click on the link, it takes me right back to the Brickpicker homepage.

Apologies - I'm new here - so at least I have an excuse if I ask anything dumb. - Since reviews are starting to become a more integrated piece of this site - is there a place to track your reviews like there is your brickfolio? I would be nice to have a user dashboard or that would include this info like it already does for brickpoints and all of the other inputted data. Not to pimp other sites, but www.dgcoursereview.com, another site I use really does a good job tracking and developing reviews for their site. Makes the whole place very user friendly and user driven. Might be a good example to follow if this is indeed going to become a bigger focus on an alread…

I have seen it happen a couple times already, posts that are unreadable (except through the BrickPicker app) because the URL has invalid encoding. The posts about chapters.ca or the 9525 are a good examples: http://community.brickpicker.com/forum/52-canada/ It happens everytime the post's topic includes non-alphanumerical characters. In the HTML link, such characters have to be encoded by the % character followed by the two digits of their ASCII hexadecimal code. Therefore $ becomes %24, % becomes %25, and so on. It would be great to fix this issue!

I'm not sure which forum exactly this best belongs in, but here's my question. I've been beginning to enter my collection into my Brickfolio. (No simple task, mind you.) I'd barely started when a question arose: when entering the condition of the set (new or used) do I enter the current condition, or the condition it was in when I bought it? To give an example; I bought 6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase, new,unopened, for 15.99. I've opened it now, so it's used, but it was new when I bought it. Entering it into my Brickfolio now, do I mark it as new or used? Any help appreciated!

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.

I suspect I'm not the first person to post this, but I get an error when I try to see my minifigs in my brickfolio. Is there something I can do on my end to ameliorate? thanks for running a great site! TNB

I would like to wish one and all a very marry Christmas, and a happy new year full of LEGO's! It's been a great privilege for me to be among great/experienced LEGO investors! I would also like to thank the heads of BrickPicker for they'er fine work and experience they share with the group. Marry Christmas To All!!

The internet isn't getting any easier. Process and rules are good, nothing wrong with it. Even when you try to follow the rules, most people don't really care. This post and future ones like it are to become information that anyone here on this forum can learn for themselves or share with other users in hopes to make for a better user experience for them as well as for us. This post is about managing your content. On any given month, Brickpicker averages a million emails and can spike up to two million if there exciting things going on. The number of people that think the best way to remove yourself from getting emails is to hit the SPAM button. That is bad and t…

The new site design looks great, but I've noticed that all of the emailed subscriptions now only show a "preview" of the new message that was posted. Like the first x number of characters and not the entire message and all the content along with it. Can this functionality be changed back to sending the full post content rather than just a preview? Thanks!

I've noticed recently that a lot (maybe about 1/2 the time) I click on the value of a set, I'm getting the following page : Ahh! We're sorry, but there as been an error. The system administrator has been notified.
