Welcome to BrickPicker.com.  My name is Ed Mack and along with my brother Jeff, we are the creators of BrickPicker.  We would like to give new members...and some old ones, an opportunity to ask the "stupid" question.  On many forums, the new or inexperienced members will get berated for asking basic or repetitive questions that many veteran site members already know.  Well this forum is the place to ask that silly or dumb question about the site or LEGO collecting and investing.  So ask away, no question is a bad one...

 

Also, check out the BrickPicker FAQs before asking, it might answer your question.  

 

PS:  To veteran and experienced members, I expect civil and proper responses.  To new members, no spam please.

 

Thanks...Ed Mack

You can just place multiple orders that meet the requirements and you will get a promo set for each order.  I have over 20 copies of 40106 so far.

Ok I scanned this forum.. now it is time for my stupid question    What is the 'Packing Code' field referring to when adding items to my brick collection?

Ha ha!

Got it. See, when they say limit one per household, I thought they would really just send you one.

Thanks for letting me know how simple it is.

welcome to the forums . Send a mod or an admin the link first and we will let you know .

Hello, I'm a newbie to the Lego madness and I purchased a few sets from the UK. Any Idea if those sets are different from the US sets? Instructions, parts, bar codes etc.

 

Thanks in advance! Rb

Hi, I am not super-noobie, I have been buying and selling for about seven-months now, but I have made a recent realization that much of my portfolio is long-term holds. I have a good mix like GE, TB, HH, PS, SC, T1, etc, but really nothing that I would part with for a good while.

I would like to mix it up a bit with some quick flips to finance more long-term holds, but my town has a few crapoy walmarts, one crappy target and THAT's about it.

I guess my question is, I see lots of posts where people are finding great online deals that seem to come and then vanish very quickly. I think one I noticed recently was a post for the new SD that was something like 40% off for a few minutes. Where do I go online to find these flash deals? Do I sign up for texts? I have the Walmart app but it does not appear to be very helpful, unless I am filtering wrong.

Need a mentor on this one! Thank you for your help.

Thank you, Ed. I bookmarked this site and will hope to see more blue! Is the plan to continue to add more sets to this database?

Hi. New to this fantastic site, and have been lurking for a few weeks now. I have imported my collection via Brickset, and am wondering hiw to add one of those boxes to my sig line with the collection stats? Thanks.

Hi guys. On my Brickfolio, my CMFs are not listing any change in investment. I have a few Chicken Suit guys and I know they are selling for $20+. Am I entering them wrong? So far he's still not worth more than I paid for.

Tracking Collectable Minifigures on eBay is practically impossible or near to it. Sites such as Bricklink or BrickOwl can because they keep a simple naming system of inventory whereas eBay listings can range from "LEGO Chicken Guy" to "Barnyard minifigure". At least with polybags (except most promos) have a set number to track but the Minifigures don't aside from an inventory number on the box itself.

Hi The OrcKing! Thanks for the awesome info. This was helpful. I am building my Simpsons house today that I bought summer of 2014 lol. Such an awesome build. I'm the king of sticker placing FYI lol

Quick Flipping Low Life

I always wondered about that.  I was too embarrassed to ask.  Thanks.

It seems like some people have an alert at up when LEGO Shop at Home lists something for sale or the tag changes to retiring soon. Also someone mentioned an autobuyer. How do they do this?

Alright, curiosity is getting the better of me.... I saw a page explaining the user award tags, but can someone please explain the title changes? ie, I just went from "brickpicker" to "brick broker" etc.
