Site Information and Updates

If someone could edit the Cuusoo topic, the LEGO with the registered trademark symbol is making it non-openable under Chrome, IE (older version) and Safari on my iPad. Thanks!

I am sorry if this is covered someplace already, but if so I couldn't find it: how could I add sets to the BP database that are not covered yet? I know I can improve existing entries, but what about sets with a number that isn't known to BP yet?

Hello... Jeff and I just added two new forum categories...Bricklink Marketplace and Non-LEGO Deals. The Bricklink section can be used to discuss buying and selling techniques and ideas based on the Bricklink site. Please do not promote your Bricklink stores here. The Non-LEGO Deals will work like the LEGO Daily Deals page. Members can post great deals on NON-LEGO related items like toys, collectibles and electronics that they want to share with other members. Jeff and I are going to monitor the activity on these two sections to gauge interest for our upcoming DAILY DEALS 2.0 and Brick Classifieds and decide whether or not we will incorporate these ideas …

Lately you know that we have been trying out somethings that can be helpful to both the website and of course yourself. One thing I have been watching for a long time is that we don't get a lot of mentions or much information out there on the social media platforms. We would definitely like to expand our presence in this world. You will notice a bar that runs along the bottom of the site that says "Rewards". This is totally separate from Brickpoints. By helping share the content here on the site, you will earn points to where you can claim prizes. The current prizes are offered through their website, gift cards to Target, Starbucks and a chance to be entered …

I was just wondering when we will get to see new investing videos. I have seen them all and I really enjoyed them.

I've written blogs before, but I am trying to add a little chart to it. Right now it is saved as a JPEG. Any tips on how to get this into the blog? I was trying to simply copy and paste it but that isn't working. Thanks for the help!

I would just like to make a quick post regarding the asking of us to change your username. We honestly get way too many of these. When you are registering for an online community, you have to realize that at some point your username will be public. There is actually bold red text on the registration form that says your username will be your public profile and no name changes will be made. We are also getting closer to the launch of Brick Classifieds and this is where it really becomes important. I have been building in a lot of security measures to help prevent fake accounts, multiple accounts, etc. We want people who are using the classifieds to feel that they know …

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?

Walmart LEGO Discounts This part of the website seems completely broke. Every item I clicked a link it showed the wrong price when I went to walmart almost every item was a different price and/or out of stock. The prices seem very outdated and the info worthless this part of the site could be very helpful it worked.

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

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

Hi, I was just looking at the price guide and I see that 10240-1: Red Five X-wing Starfighter is around $276.00. How is that being calculated? I went to Ebay and I see the majority of the sales have been between $180-$200 over the last month. Just curious. Thanks

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.

Multiple choice poll on polls. The questions on the help index, I do not know the answer to.

I thought about an idea for a poll, but then I realized I have no idea how to make one. I might not be looking hard enough, but I can't find where to make one anywhere! Do you have to make some accomplishment to be able to start a new poll? Please help! Sincerely, A New Member in Need of Help

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.

Are blog articles reviewed by mods before being posted or is it free for all? I decided to write a blog article hit submit for review so now it's in pending status. Does it mean that mods have to review it first, which is fine, or does it mean that I missed something and it'll be pending forever .

Hi, Will it be possible somehow to extract number of listings per month for a particular set from terapeak. Right now we have average sale price which is fairly accurate and we have number of items sold. However we are missing very big piece of the puzzle as far as supply and demand goes. If I see that set only sold 4 times in a given month I don't know whether this is due to shortage or due to lack of demand for the particular set. Seeing how many total listings there were in a given time period will let us directionally jude the set popularity. Thanks a lot for an awesome site by the way.

A new way to earn Brickpoints and increase the quality and quantity of the site's content has been born: Article Suggestions. Here is how the process will work: 1- Members who don't have the time or simply don't feel like writing an article, but have a great idea for one, will post the idea in this thread. One of the mods will then add the idea to this first post, including who originally posted it. 2- Anyone who is seriously interested in writing an article based on any of the ideas posted in this thread will have the chance to "claim" the one they would like to write about. Basically, it is a way for those that don't have the time to add articles to the site to sti…

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

Hi, New member here. Just a quick question on when the site updates the prices. I have entered a couple of sets that I own, but it looks like the prices are from November? Thanks in advance! P.S. - Great site by the way

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 …

So while investigating all this site has offer, I stumbled upon the Brickpoints store. I was wondering, how does one acquire Brickpoints? Thanks.

Am I missing something or what gives ? I've tried to look through different options to turn the bar "back on" or to see where it went. So far nothing. That was about the only way for me to keep track of what my progress was. Can anyone shed some light ? Thanks ! so much in advance.
