Site Information and Updates

If you haven't already noticed, there has been some changes made to the BRICKPICKER site and features. Here are some of the upgrades: ***New BRICKPICKER template and appearance for easier understanding and faster navigation. ***New and upgraded BRICKFOLIO tool that enables you to keep track of your LEGO collection's current value. ~~New charts and graphs that break down your collection into themes and their performance ~~The ability to import your collection from Brickset.com or Rebrickable.com. ***New INVESTOR'S SPOTLIGHT that highlights a particular LEGO set and its investment potential. We are working hard to improve the BRICKPICKER site and to give …

This has been brought up in the past and I have let it slip away, but a good post by Comicblast the other day made me think about it again. Some of you are already hunting and locating nice deals on a daily basis and sometimes several times a day. For now I am not looking to do anything too fancy. I will create a new forum group in the Special Deals section for a small group of Brickpicker members that are interesting in scouring Amazon, eBay, anywhere and posting deals. Pretty much it will be a new forum post a day, much like what Comic Blast had there. It can just be called Daily Lego Deals 9/20/2013, etc. The members will be able to edit the main post and add ne…

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…

Is there a reason we dont have a US version of the EU Stock Inventory tracker (http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/eu-inventory.cfm)? Seems if someone was able to make one for the EU Lego site that it could be easily duplicated for the US site (or any other country specific site).

There is an updated version of the forum software coming. There are a few things in there I am really looking forward to having changed or access to. One major thing will be the speed of responding to busy threads. Right now, you can sometimes wait a minute or more to have your post made active while it sends the email out to everyone. The new forum basically just dumps the response into a queue and you post instantly. I don't know how they didn't fix this a long time ago, but at least its coming. I am going to be looking at and looking to clean out dummy, fake, bad accounts before I do the migration. Over the next few weeks, any of you that know that you are u…

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 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.

When I started here everything was in dollars. Now we can choose between a number of different currencies. My problem is that when I change the currency my brickfolio is displaying in, the numbers stay the same. For example. 10197-1: Fire Brigade - Bought in shop for

hi, can the "What Lego set did you sell today?" thread be moved to the "members only" portion of the forum? if so, maybe the " Investing Forum" forum? this way, our sale posts won't be public for prying eyes (especially from google searches). not that registering takes much effort... just a suggestion. http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/771-what-lego-set-did-you-sell-today/

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…

Hi is it just me who can't login to bp in pc? Im stuck with blogspot.brickpicker.com/wp-login.php page and its blank. Any help please

Hey guys, I'm always finding myself trying to remember where someone has said they're from while reading discussions in the Wal-Mart/Target Clearance, which vary wildly by region. I think it would be helpful, but I also just find it interesting to know where everyone's from. The US is pretty darn big. I could see people not wanting to provide that information, so making it optional would work. I'm thinking it would be in lieu of the US flag flair so all my fellow Texans would automatically be on board ? (I'm not actually from Texas but I lived there for a few years).

I just activated a new feature that we are calling "Brickpicker Promotions" for the forum that will allow members to post Want Ads, Trades and External Sales. It is Free!! When you post an ad, a thread will be created in the current (renamed) Trade forum. Images and descriptions are required for all posts and posts will need to be approved. You can advertise items that you are looking to buy, items you are looking to trade or even items you are trying to sell from external sites like eBay and Amazon. Hopefully you are posting because its a good deal or have a special you would like to offer Brickpicker members. It is a very simple system but can be effective if used …

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?!

I am announcing that over the next few days there will be a sections of the site that will updated and certain parts of the site may not be available for short periods of time. As early as later tonight, I may try to run the forum upgrade. If any of you are out there in the web world, you may have heard that Google will be starting a new standard for search results based on mobile usability. Certain parts of this site are not passing their test and I have known that for a long time. I have been working on updating parts of the price guide for a while and will hopefully make those template updates live in the next few days as well. The forum is not passing the tests too…

I know there are videos of people unboxing sets, and some sets are easier than others to identify how many bags (like 3x bag 1's, and 2x bag 2's, ... 3x bag 14's), and that these bags are in a sub box, etc. Anyway what about brick picker making a catalog of the sets, and as a community when we unbox any set that is not in this catalog take note of how many of each bag and take pictures of say all of the bag 1's and bag 2's, etc.? I have thought about doing this for some time heck whats another domain (when you already have 160, lol), and I already have servers in a colo. I know I started the writing the framework for this. I would be happy to help and or do…

I'm new here, so I'm not really sure where to post this, but this is the "site information" forum, so I thought it would be good place to start. I'm looking to purchase a Medusa 71001-2 and I'm trying to price it out. Anyway, I looked it up on brickpicker and although the mini-fig is listed in the database, there's no price associated with it. I find this very odd, since they seem to be selling fairly regularly on ebay. Can anyone enlighten me?

I've got my full collection in brickset and I'm happy to see you can now import the collection to the brickpicker brickfolio. However, it seems that imported sets are always set to a condition of "new". Most of my sets are used. I've checked the ACM data on brickset to verify only the new ones are set with a current condition of "MISB" with the remaining as "assembled", however, brickfolio picks them all up as new. Is the feature just not complete yet? I noticed there doesn't appear to be any way to quickly bulk-edit the brick folio so I can set a majority of my sets to used.

I'm sure this isn't the right place for this but I can't get the 6862 thread on the first page of the superhero forum to open. Every other thread opens except that one. I've tried different devices as well.

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

Jeff just added a MOST RECENT & LATEST FORUM POST tab to the top of the forum toolbar(RED TAB). It will show, in order, the most recent forum posts. It's a simple improvement, but one many of you have been asking for...

I just posted a thread that people should know about and now it's disappeared, there's no message letting me know i did something wrong, there's no closed thread or note from a mod, it's just gone this is not the first time that it's happened and i'm quite frankly getting pissed off with it, either there's some sort of vendetta against me or someone's too lazy to let people know when they're violating some sort of rule. I'd like to know where my post went

I was looking at my Brickfolio and I was wondering what the different between Current Price and Market Value is in the brickfolio? It seems to use the current price when calculating your brickfolio value though.

I recently inquired about why my country flag wasn't showing up under my user ID on posts. To solve this Jeff suggested that I log out of the forum and log back in again. This solved my issue and I'd suggest it to all members so we can keep track (visually) as to what is happening where with sales, findings, etc etc.
