Site Information and Updates

I just joined Brick Picker and I am really glad I found this site. I have been collecting Lego for a really long time. When I get a new lego set I open it up build and put it on my shelf. I don't really play with lego. I really like lego but I mostly display, not play with it. As I was adding sets to my brickfolio I noticed that if I say that they are used the value on my sets go down. All my Lego sets are in right out of the box condition. Would my sets be considered New or Used?

Hey Mods/Admins, Any word on when the Feb. Ebay update will be ready? Gracias!

Hi, was just having a look though my brickfolio, clicked to go back to the first page and all the data is gone! Says my Brickfolio is empty? Is this normal during the update process?!

Ive just been looking into the architecture sets and noticed that the sets that are shown are being shown as discounted 5 extra $.... like the sets for 19.99 are available for 19.97 on amazon and it shoes there is a 5$ or 23% discount am i missing something? this goes for a few other sets like 21011

What title says I keep checking list of new topics on bottom of posts, only to realize it only tells me the most recent topics created, not most recent posts. I've been missing discussions in some topics this way. Maybe I overlooked it, but is there a way to look up most recent posts (regardless of whether it is new topic or existing), sorted by posted date?

A question for the fantastic staff, why not put some function available to download massively data LEGO sets in TOTAL or divided by the THEME or own BRICKFOLIO ? Maybe as xls file or csv file or simply txt file.... It would be useful for future offline reference, to compare similar but belonging to different years, etc. ... It should have only basic information such as code, theme, year of release, number of pieces, out of production/in production, selling price and current market value.... What about ? All the best.

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.

i'd hate to go in and have to edit 100+ sets for original purchase price, when all of them except a few were retail priced when i bought it :)

Hi, i can't catch one thing about market price in the price guide: i know that prices are updated on a monthly basis...so, why do market prices of single sets vary on a daily basis? Thanks

You can't list items for sale in the forums. If you have something you want to sell, you must link to your ebay listing. I would imagine you can also link to an Amazon listing or another site you have that sells as well, but maybe Ed or Jeff can clarify if it can only be an ebay listing unless you are a paying advertiser.

Hi, I am new to this site and am sorry if it has been asked before but can I have my preferences to show everything in GBP (

No earth shattering feature here, but just trying to help people communicate. I have added a area in the header that will let you know if you have new Private Messages that need to be read. Just click the number and a new window will pop up showing you last 5 messages. From this window you can go directly to the message, to your Inbox or start to compose a new message. See the screenshot below. Ed and I also get a lot of questions about how many people are on the site at any given time. There is now a new number that is showing you current active members. This number updates every 10 minutes. See the screenshot below to see what I am talking about. This number c…

After reading so many reviews by other members and their choice of stats, I'm a little confused on this one. If on a scale from 1-10, with 1 being a common set that was or is available at any major retailer and 10 being insanely exclusive (like Comic-Con exclusive, "The Zombies" set exclusive, grand opening of a LEGO store exclusive, a UK only exclusive!), then why are there so many reviews with the "Exclusivity" rated so high on what would be considered a 'common' or easily available set? Is my logic off? I really need some clarification on this, please! I am not putting your opinions into question or saying they are wrong, not at all. I am just trying to unders…

http://www.reasonablyclever.com/mini-mizers/mini-mizer-2-0/ This is cool. Does anyone else have anything like this or know of anything? An addition like this to the site would be cool.

Ed and Jeff, Is it alright if we consolidate a list of Brickpicker members' eBay IDs? This way, members can buy retired sets from other members on eBay which should increase the odds of a problem free transaction. I'm asking first due to privacy / policy concerns either you of might have.

Due to popular demand, Jeff has added an AUTOMATIC LOGIN feature. The site should keep you logged in now without signing you out when your computer shuts down. I know it's nothing major, but many members were annoyed by the lack of one. Let us know if you have issues. My computer was still logged on this morning, so I think it works... Ed Mack

I just added a new feature to each price guide set page. You will now be able to see the price history of Amazon and 3rd party sellers on Amazon. This will be helpful in case you are ever wondering what the lowest price was for a set on Amazon. Its also amazing to see how much fluctuation Amazon pricing really has. As with any updates, there may be a bug or two. Hopefully not Just click the links you see near the Amazon logo near the current offers for each set. If we do not have Amazon code numbers, you will not see the links. Take a look at the attached photo. Just remember, for any sets that are retired, you will most like have to click on the 3rd Party Selle…

Based on all the conversations, forum posts, private messages to talk about local area deals/bargins/sales (whatever you might want to call them), we create a new Forum Category for these deals. For now I created a few individual forums for the main general areas/countries. Please create your own local areas within these forums. We will see how it all starts to pan out and then make the appropriate changes to help make sure members get the most of this useful information. Thank you Jeff

Hi staff, great stuff here ! Two questions... 1) Can I build up two brickfolio ? One about sets I own, and one about the sets I wish to own? 2) Cause snapshots value show only last six month, are more long time data availlabre in some ways ? Thanks a lot for attention... Sil

Does it make more sense for this number to be calculated by using a weighted average rather than a simple average? For example the Monster Hunters number looks a little inflated because of the existence of a couple of smaller sets which as a % have a high CAGR. Just a thought...

I clicked on http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/brickfolio_data.cfm hoping to import from brickset.com but all I see are Clear Brickfolio Database and Export Brickfolio Database. So where exactly is the import option? Thanks

I feel 10 brickpoints is too low for a review with 1000 characters. Maybe 25 points will be more attractive? Just a suggestion. (I am about to write a few reviews, LOL)

I have been trying to add sets to our Brickfolio, but with no search results? I have been searching by set number and set name. Any other suggestions of how to find and add the sets we purchased and built? Thanks everyone!!

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) …

Disclaimer: This is an opinion piece Brickpicker from an article standpoint is becoming a barking carny yelling "BUY BUY BUY". This site is a GREAT information source and LEGO investment tool for all, that being said I need to see a more unbiased opinion when it comes to the articles. This would greatly benefit the reputation of the site as a trusted source to use. (Anyone that can potentially benefit from click-thru affiliate revenue from this site is not considered an unbiased contributor) I understand that the investment losers might be harder to find in this market, so I can see the ease of saying BUY BUY BUY, but the losers are out there and need to be addresse…
