Site Information and Updates

I just pushed the latest updates for the Brickpicker Forum App. The iOS version will take a few days to get to the Apple store and allow you to update, but the Android version looks to be live already. I think it is version 5.0.13. It is a big overall update for this device. If some people who use it on Android can try it out, please let me know how it's working. I don't really have a great device to try it on. I am using the iOS version now and it looks like its working great and they may have finally fixed many of the missing link problems that it has been having.

Hello... I would like to announce the winners of February 2014 Monthly Blog and Review Writing Contest. Both sections were close, with Noodlenut edging out Migration in the Blog Contest and MartinP edging out Noodelnut in the Review Contest. I would like to thank all that entered this month's contests. The new contest for March 2014 starts immediately. The winners (Noodlenut and MartinP) can contact Jeff and I directly for prize information. Thanks... SEE BELOW FOR MARCH 2014 WINNERS...

I was on the site today and noticed that there have been over 1000 brickfolios created since April 4th. I just wanted to congratulate Jeff and Ed for making such a successful site and I hope more people will continue to join.

I would like to congratulate Mr. Stephen Rockefeller on hitting 5000 BrickPoints before any other member. He has chosen the Brickmaster Imperial Shuttle as a prize an as soon as I can get my butt to the Post Office, I will mail it to him. ;-) I also would like to mention that Jeff has added a BRICKPOINTS LOG that enables you to keep track of your Brickpoints. Don't forget, we still have 25 set review spots left for first time quality set reviews. Those first time set reviews will receive 500 Brickpoints when the contest is completed. So start reviewing and posting on the forums. You can hit 5000 points like Stephen did and get a prize. Thanks...Ed Mack

Jeff and I have been getting a lot of private messages about improving the site. I would like give BrickPicker members a chance to help improve the site and give us some fresh ideas. As you know, we are always tinkering with the site and have some great stuff planned. The problem always is finding the time to implement these changes and improvements. Some things can be changed quickly and easily, others can take months or more. I don't want to give out too much information on future plans, but they will make the site much more social and interactive with other BrickPicker members and more custom and intuitive for the individual. No idea is too small...Please, this i…

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

I am posting a link to a Twitter feed I setup for the Daily Deals. This is new and I have tied it into some of the processes I have been creating for the updated Daily Deals section. Many of the main sites are in there (Amazon, Walmart, Target, Kmart, Argos, etc). I still have a list to go, but you should see more activity in the coming days. The Amazon process checks very often so you will see the most activity from them. Right now I have it set for discounts of 20% or higher. Feel free to follow it and lets see if we can make it a worthwhile feature for everyone. Let me know what you think. If there are Twitter experts out there, I am always open to ideas, so pl…

I added my sets my Brickfolio starting at the start of May. I have continued to add sets over the last few months but there does not seem to be any updates to the Brickfolio. All my sets say they were added in May. I looked at the Price guide and it said the last update was June 12th. As I am new I am wondering if there is a delay in the updating, A site issue or maybe a summer break. Any information is appreciated. I do see it states the update is usually the first week of the month but this makes three months there has been no updates to pricing.

I am just writing to let people know that at any time, the forum may come down and it may come down for a few hours or honestly an unspecified period of time. I may not shut the forum down completely, but may remove the permission to post and reply to or add new topics. Hopefully everything will go smooth, I know there will be some things that are not there at the start and will need to catch up on a few features, but it will eventually get put together. I don't have an ETA for this, but it will be soon. Just be patient with the updated one once it switches over, I am sure there will be a few things that need to be sorted Jeff

We are working on a Daily Deals feature to help build new ways of keeping up with the deals. Keeping the Daily Deals all in one thread has been great. Sure the thread will get big, but based on feedback, we have 200+ members getting responses daily. One of my pet peeves for the daily deals is that members post great tips and tidbits but on most occasions, never post a direct link. What we would like to do is continue to enhance this system to give credit where credit is do and reward people for putting in the effort. If you look at the editor, there is now a yellow/orange dollar sign button for posting a deal. This will display a window where you can post the link …

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 …

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

Count me out.

🎉 Happy New Year — BrickPicker v2.0 is officially underway (Coming soon 2026) Happy New Year, everyone! I wanted to kick off 2026 by sharing something I’ve been quietly working toward for a while: BrickPicker is coming back — bigger, better, and built around a new vision. The last few years have been busy with life, but that time also gave me room to step back and rethink what BrickPicker should be… and what would truly make it a no-brainer tool for LEGO resellers. 🚀 The new focus: reseller-first, analytics-firstBrickPicker v2.0 is being rebuilt with one clear goal: Help LEGO resellers make smarter buying and selling decisions.That means the site will be centered aroun…

I saw on the main page there is about 90$ million worth in peoples brickfolios. With 5,000 members, that is about $18,000 per member....Seems a little high..Or maybe I need to step it up!

Just wondering, what do the number of single bricks right under our names signify? For example, I currently have 2 bricks, and stephen_rockefeller has 4 I believe. Many other people have 1. What do they mean?

Everybody give a hand to ALCARIN cause he just beat Ed in number of reviews!!!

As the title says, we need a Danish Brickpicker member who invests in LEGO bricks for an interview. Let Jeff or I know. Thanks.

I just wanted to start posting the members which hit 5000 BrickPoints(or close to it) and the STAR WARS mini set they chose as a prize...Congrats!!! With the new LEGO set review contest, many of you have been moving right up the charts on your way to one of those BrickMaster sets. Keep up the good work!

Jeff and I would like to welcome inversion as a new moderator. Huskers1236 will be stepping down from his Mod position due to time constraints. We want to thank Huskers1236 for his efforts and wish him well in the future. Ed

How many Posts do you need to have different titles like a brick troller? Just didn't know.

What would you guys (everyone in the forum, not just Ed and Jeff) think about doing some sort of Mega Poll to determine what is the best investment currently out there in the mind of all the members? I was thinking about setting up a bracket sort of like March Madness where some of the most popular sets out there would go against each other with voting open for a week or so on each "match" and the winner would advance to the next round until there is only one left: the best investment currently available as chosen by the members. Imagine doing a VC vs Helm's Deep, R2-D2 vs X-Wing, etc, etc. Just wanted to throw it out there in case there is interest on this. I of cours…

Who else thinks this is a great idea? I know a lot of people use Brickpicker from their smart phones and something like this would be really helpful and awesome! Not like Jeff and Ed aren't doing enough already but just throwing an idea out there.

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?!

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…
