Site Information and Updates

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

What ways are there to earn Brickpoints apart from writing reviews?

I am still having trouble accessing my brickfolio once I am in my account. I click on the brickfolio and it tells me to sign in but I am already signed in. Is anyone else having this problem?

I was just wondering how long a set had to be out for the price guide to show how much it was worth?

this is very minor.... i know you have "view new content" in non-forum (thread) pages like profiles. hi jeff, hope things are going well. let's say, i'm viewing all the recent threads on any device / browser combo. URL = http://community.brickpicker.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=viewNewContent&search_app=forums When I click on the "view new content" link again, a new page loads and it reads, "Sorry, no new content found." URL = http://community.brickpicker.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=viewNewContent&search_app=%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20forums - i then need to …

Not sure if anyone else has had a chance to try out the Gallery feature, but I just uploaded some pictures of my quick MOCs that I make when I take my kids to Legoland Discovery Center just outside of Chicago. Kudos to Jeff and Ed on this gallery feature! It's easy to use, has some key features (like rotate image), and really shows pictures well. I would invite anyone to check out my Gallery, but I'm not sure how members can access it. I suppose you can try to click on my user name to see if it offers you the option to check the Gallery.

You may have noticed seeing a bunch of mini flags next to user names throughout the forum and wonder what that is about. In the previous version of the forum we did have a plugin that identified the location of where people are from. Overall I think this is good know since the LEGO situation is different in all parts world. Currency, discounts, inventory, special releases and just the overall buying and selling of LEGO is different. At least now you may have an idea that they may be talking from experience from 5,000 miles away from where you are. There is also an added benefit of finding people that are local to you to strike up a conversation. I kno…

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!

Hello everyone. As you know there have been a ton of sets released throughout the years with just as many if not more reviews on each of them floating out there across the World Wide Web and keeping track is a difficult task to say the least. Therefore after much contemplation, I have started the first of what will soon be many of threads solely created as a resource to gather all these individual articles together into dedicated spots giving everybody quick & easy access to all of it. Please note these topics are locked strictly for the reason they are only meant to be a stockpile of quick links and not for open discussion. This is so nothing could potentially end u…

Today it's nice to see that BrickPicker has achieved the milestone of hitting 100,000 registered users. Sure all of those members are not active, but regardless it's a nice achievement to hit, something Ed and I never would have thought would have hit years ago. New and better things are on the horizon, so stay tuned! Thank you for registering @lasloo!!!!!!!

I can load Brickpicker's main site and the forums correctly from my kindle fire. However, I can get the kindle to recgonize the text entry field. A keyboard never pops up when selecting the text entry field, be it a private message, fast reply, or normal post. Anyone else having this issue?

CHECK IT OUT!!! Long story short...BRICKPOINTS a simple way to reward BrickPicker members for your activity on the site. By doing simple things on the site, such a posting in the forums and blogs or even for just registering for the site, you obtain BrickPicker points. The first 100 BrickPicker members to 5000 points will receive one of three LEGO STAR WARS Brickmaster sets...20016, 20018 or 20021. Your choice. Get to 5000 and you can do it again if you want, and get another set in the process. We will be adding other ways to obtain points, so keep an eye out for those additions. Also, if you have something interesting to say about LEGO investing/collecting a…

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?

'> or '> Hi Ed and Jeff, My badge's info (e.g. # of sets value) hasn't been updating in my forum signatures (using first url above). it was updating as of last week. when i just viewed, http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/brickfolio_promote.cfm , i noticed a new badge link (2nd url above). my info is up-to-date but my profile pic is incorrect. Which URL should I use?

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.

I was just wondering if there was any plans to add any features back to the site like back in the old days or is this just a message board now?

Hey - We are thinking of having a new segment on The Brick Show were we specifically talk about investing. One idea we had was to do a monthly video and doing a countdown of your Top 10 most sold sets using this data: http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/topsellinglegosets.cfm Also, perhaps another using this data. http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/brickindex.cfm What range is the top selling sets based on? If anyone has other ideas, please post them here. We hope to launch this later this month or Oct. Any name ideas for the segment would be helpful too.

Hi, I'm inputting data into my Brickfolio and i've experienced on 2 occasions that the data dissapears. If I open it up again on another machine it's there. Has anyone else seen this issue?

Before going too heavy into the poll system (of which I am eagerly awaiting to play with ), I want to ask which would people generally prefer? Public or private polls? I also ask because I will have to restart a lot of older thread polls (like the Favorite Minifigure ones and Favorite Theme) and I do not want to alienate anyone from making their voice being heard in a friendly vote. If it depends on the thread poll question itself, please leave a opinion so that I may understand.

I couldn't find any info about having animated avatars. Are they allowed? All I found regarding avatars was they had to be family appropriate.

First of all, thanks for the effort made to maintain this website. I believe what I found was possibly discussed before..... I understand the calculation of the market value is averaged out based on the sales from ebay. However, I have noticed that sometimes for example, for a certain set, if you look in detail about the listing from ebay, you would see some listing has nothing to do with this specific set because the description might contain some info about a certain set but not necessarily it is the listing for that specific set. I also notice the following, for example, 21017, imperial hotel, the market value is 76.33. if you look into the sales, there is …

Call me crazy, but I noticed that my Brickfolio values changed yesterday, but the home page still says last update was November 16. Or are the updates just in process but not completely done? Sorry just trying to figure out how my Brickfolio value changed if an update hasn't been done yet.

Anyone know of a resource that lists Exclusive Sets by Retailer? All Wal-Mart exclusives, all Target exclusives, all Toys R Us exclusives, etc.? I recently passed on a City set that was 30% off at Target thinking that I might find it at Wal-Mart or somewhere else and not realizing that it was a Target exclusive. When I went back to get it, of course, it was gone. Possible Brickpicker.com future addition?

I would like to bring one new feature of the update to the forefront...The BRICKPICKER MEMBER SET REVIEWS. In the upper right hand corner of the new LEGO Price/Set Guide Page there is a box that is marked REVIEW SCORE. This will be the area where the average for all member reviews is shown. There is a link in the box so that you can review any LEGO set once. Here are the specifics: ***The number shown on the Price/Set Guide page is based on the average score of all BrickPicker member scores. ***The BrickPicker member scores are based on ten different characteristics or qualities that are on a 1 to 10 scale, which is averaged to give a set review total of between 1 an…
