Site Information and Updates

I've looked everywhere on here and tried to do forum searches to find the answer, but no luck. So... I've seen people post about how many total of X set are in people's Brickfolios, but I can't figure out where to find that data. I've read where people say things like, "When I see how many Fire Brigades are in the Brickfolios, I don't think it's a good investment." Where can I go to see how many of each set are collectively being held in Brickfolios? Thanks!

Just want to give everyone a quick update on this months price guide update and including the data from UK and Australia. The Germany data won't be available until the April update, much to do there yet. I had to rewrite the process for all this new data. My original process would have taken days to run, so I rewrote it completely and now it's actually processing faster than what it was when it was just the US data by itself. Most of the time, when you get a chance to go back and look at what you did, you can always add improvements. Right now I am happy with the speed. Once it's done, we will look over the data and I need to add the elements to the actual price gu…

Hey guys, How do I know if a set is already retired? What information on the site tells me that? Thanks

I've been trying to add the newsfeed from http://www.brickpicker.com/news/ to Feedly but it's only showing articles from last June and prior. Anybody else having the same issue?

So, I think that one reply to this post would be sufficient if I get a good enough answer, but what does the actual monthly listing values account for? For example, does the price sold for an item include the cost of shipping, or is it just the original price? ALso, just exactly how accurate is the average compared to real world? I never seem to find sets that come even close the the monthly average on ebay, so someone please give me an insight on where the data comes from.

I haven't seen an update on this in a while - Is the idea of selling on Brickpicker dead or on hold? Generally, I would see it being somewhat limited - since everyone here is looking for great deals (buy low, sell high). But recently there have been a number of sellers (Willy, etc), that for various reasons have needed to dump their inventory. In theses cases (where profit is no longer the primary goal), the option of selling here would be great.

Is there a list that could be found that lists all non retired sets that sell above msrp?

Can you look at these 3 sets in the price guide. The prices look off to me. New sets: 7744 and 31084. Used set: 3677 Thanks!

I've noticed in the forums that some people have their brickfolios as their signature, showing most expensive set, amount invested, what themes etc. I'm just wondering how I'd go about doing this? I've searched everywhere, I think, and can't find anything!!! thanks

In case you haven't noticed, the forum has been down and the homepage is modified. Jeff is doing some modifications that require the forum to be closed to members. It will be an on and off type of situation over the next several days as Jeff is improving some features. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but you will understand more in the upcoming weeks when you see how the new forum interacts with the rest of the site. Some really cool features coming soon. Thanks. Ed

I noticed on Hoth Bricks that there was a little write-up on Brickpicker and that some of the users have responded in what appears to be a negative fashion. I can't read the write-up or the complaints (sure I could copy and paste everything into a translation site, but what fun would that be?) so I was wondering if I could get a little synopsis. Thanks!

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?

Please use this thread to post any possible errors or incomplete data you've encountered on the site. There are over 9000 LEGO sets, so I'm am sure there is some data or facts that are incorrect or incomplete. Jeff and I will take a look at the issue and see if we can correct it. Some old MSRPs are missing, so feel free to let us know if you know the value of some of the older, retired sets. Please help Jeff and I improve the data and information on the site. No issue is too small, so post it here. Thanks... Ed Mack

I am sure this answer is somewhere on the site, but how do I reply to an individuals post in the forum. I click quote, it posts my reply below the last reply in the post, Not within the comment of the post I am responding too. Does this make any sense to anyone? Any help would be appreciated.

Hey all, I want to make sure that this site benefits from as many of my Lego purchases (through click through links) as I can. I have been adding some things to my Amazon shopping cart, using the click through links on the daily deals thread, that I plan to purchase Monday or Tuesday when our next Lego money frees up. Will those shopping cart items "hold" themselves as coming from this site? or do they at some point reset, this site loses the credit for the sale, so really I should click through the links fresh when I am ready to buy?

The new data for July 2012 was released today. Also, check out the new ARTICLE in the Brickvesting Blog about the LEGO STAR WARS Ultimate Collector's Series.

Ok, so many of you have noticed that there has been an update to the home page and content section. Overall I am happy that the transition has gone pretty good. Again, it's not something I wanted to do, but here are a few reasons why it needed to be done. Back in June is when we did the Forum upgrade. This I am happy about. The forum has been great and much better than what was there before. When we did this upgrade, I felt it would be good to utilize the tools that came with it and keep the system for the most part unified. The blog area did its job but it's actually a negative for the site. Overall its horrific for SEO (search engine optimization). This site …

Well a lot has been going on in the past 24 hours. Certain things are still a mess and I still have a bit of clean up to do. I don't believe that the site has propagated around the world yet, so there are probably a bunch of users that are not able to see the site yet. Hopefully by tomorrow, that will be done and everyone will be back on. Even though things aren't the way I want them, this becomes a good time for me to start making changes that were planned in the future. Here are a few updates: eBay/Price Guide Data: Well I finally learned that the main eBay site and all of it's global sites did a bunch of category changes and did not notify it's third party…

I need start posting - only about 996,500 posts to go!

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

Just need to make a quick announcement.... We are requesting that none of our members post any images or information about the upcoming Black Friday deals until we make an announcement that it is approved by the retailers. I have already received very explicit instructions not to announce Black Friday deals early from a few of our affiliate programs. I am sure there will be plenty of places that do release info and that is totally up to them to do so. The retailers are making it "pretty clear" that there will be hell to pay if caught doing so. Reluctantly, we will need to remove any posts that we feel that could be violating their notice. Thanks for…

Does anyone know of a way to subscribe via email to the BrickVesting blog and/or the LEGO News feed? I was hoping, since the LEGO news feed has been updated, that someone would add a subscription feature to it. It would make it easier for me to see and read the BrickVesting blog as well. Thanks, Nathan

I think this might qualify as a possible update to Brickpicker when there is a chance to do so? Don't get me wrong, Brickpicker is great but i am thinking about improving just a tiny aspect of it. Here goes. When downloading the brickfolio data as an excel file, is it possible to have the items to be downloaded listed in checkboxes. Meaning we can just check the boxes for items that we want to download and leave the rest in the system. All this so that we download a more sort of tailored list that each individual wanted instaed of going into excel again ande deleting columns and sorting...(not that difficult but...) If the above is too difficult for the progamer to do so,…

Sorry to bother. Topics I create can not be accessed. Somebody told me it may be because of international characters. So I make a test Yannick
