Popular Post Jeff Mack Posted December 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2014 Here is Version 1.0 of the Brickpicker LEGO Stock Tracker. There will be a few different pages and trackers released over the coming days. This one here will be one that is updated very frequently. This list here will not grow to 100 sets or anything like that. I want to keep it focused on key sets that are desirable and sought after. This tracker will also be enhanced over the next few days to setup alerts via the site as well as email and SMS. I have included the current price on the site as well as an alert icon if the current price is higher that retail MSRP. You will also see how long ago the in-stock status was checked. This page also works well on mobile devices. For now this page is open to everyone to see what it is, but as I finish the upgrades you will need to be a member and be logged into the site in order to access it. As I mentioned earlier, there will be other pages that will be monitoring all of the sets stock and prices on Amazon, Target, LEGO, Walmart and TRU. These should be live by next week if not sooner. We will use the thread to discuss adding or removing sets on this list of constant updates. I hope you like the start, it will continue to improve. Let me know your thoughts. http://www.brickpicker.com/brickwatcher/lego_stock_checker.cfm 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Jeff looks absolutely awesome! Could I ask if you could give thought to allowing the link to work on the Out of Stock to go to the site as well for instance you can still backorder 10237 from LEGO Shop at Home even though it is out of stock. If you could put that on a list to consider at some point. thanks, trek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mos_Eisley Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Looks awesome but I keep trying to click on Town Hall to buy through S@H and it's not working. It shows in stock !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DadsAFOL Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Looks nice, but can you differentiate Amazon sold by Amazon and sold by 3rd party? Otherwise that column would always be green. I've been watching closely for when items go OOS sold by Amazon so I can keep an eye on my pricing. Also, I'd like to suggest the box color be yellow if available, but at higher than retail.

BrickLegacy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 One suggestion to consider. Use yellow for in stock but above MSRP. The explanation mark is helpful but red, yellow and green might be easier for people to quickly identify what sets are still available at MSRP (green), above MSRP (yellow) and red (out of stock). I guess this depends on your target audience of investor vs. shopper. A shopper would be attracted to green. As an investor, the Amazon sets above MSRP don't interest me. Just my $0.02. I think this will be a great tool, especially with alerts and the like. Thanks again for sharing this with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not see it in stock at all, are you sure it was town hall? One suggestion to consider. Use yellow for in stock but above MSRP.

Green In-Stock by itself is retail price or lower The yellow warning symbol next to the price is showing that it is above retail The Red Out of Stock, well its out of stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksam007 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I agree with the others this is awesome! Would you be able to add a notifier icon or color to show when something is lower than retail as well? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
