#878: All my sets are listed as new! Default should be used.

Suggested by Doom2099 on 18 Jul 2024 Status: Gathering support (25 Jul 2024)

I love all the changes and additional options for updating your inventory. However all my sets are now listed as "new". This makes sense for resellers with basements full of new sets ready for future profits, but like many I buy, open, and use my sets. Please change the default (or let the user pick the default) so I don't have to manually set hundreds of sets to used.

Brickset comment: There is a link on https://brickset.com/mycollection 'Mark all my sets as used' which should help you establish the baseline.

#503: Mark pieces as missing, sets as incomplete

Suggested by vedeem on 17 Apr 2021 Status: Gathering support (17 Apr 2021)

It would be nice to be able to mark a piece of a set as missing.
When there are missing parts in a set, the set shows an indicater that it is not complete.

At this moment I solve this by adding 2 new flags to my sets (Parts missing, checked and complete)
Then I search the missing part and mark this as "I Want"

#590: Add "Random part of the day" article links to the part pages

Suggested by goldenguy880 on 19 Nov 2021 Status: Gathering support (19 Nov 2021)

I'm aware that when a set is featured as the random set of the day, a link is added (automatically, I assume) on the set page to that article. Would it be possible to do the same thing for part pages to link to their random part of the day articles? I think it would help prevent those articles and their comments from becoming buried and obscured, and would let them be a fun look back at discussion of the parts' history and moments in time of the Brickset community; just like RSotD articles like "My Dad."
I know part pages are different from set pages in that the generic design ID number is just a tag shared between pages that list every color/element ID of the part. Maybe if a design ID is featured as RPotD, the link could be added automatically to all element ID pages which include that design ID tag?
Thanks for considering!

#665: Adding multiple currencies in ACM for purchas price.

Suggested by KiwiCol on 15 May 2022 Status: Gathering support (15 May 2022)

I would like to be able to select the currency paid in the ACM data.

I use the ACM to track my purchases and like being able to track the price paid for each set. However I've just moved countries, so how do I keep track of new purchases in the new currency, whilst maintaining previous purchases in the old?

Obviously this is a non-issue for European users, but USD/CAD and NZD/AUD would be super helpful.

Setting flags would work outside of ACM to say "non default currency" but in circumstances where there is one copy of the set, if multiples were bought in differing currencies the functionality needs to be in the ACM window.

Maybe this isn't a big issue for many users, but I think some would find it helpful

Some sets have multiple entries , for example 7000 and 5950 for the boxed / polybag version or 891 and 442 for European / US version . They are essentially the same set but the collection analysis treats it as different making the Owned/Not Owned numbers "wrong".

Product collections are already excluded from the total and it could be more accurate if one owns a set, the identical other set gets excluded from the "Not Owned" number.

#902: Improve paper-bag logging

Suggested by GarethMoore on 20 Nov 2024 Status: Gathering support (20 Nov 2024)

The paper-bag number logging on set entries is problematic because there is no way to mark sub-bags. So, inside bag 1, you may find two more bag 1s. Currently these are all listed as bag 1, which is not only confusing but means that information is being lost during data entry which could fairly trivially be kept (and displayed). It also makes it trickier to check an existing set of entries, since there are no markers for internal versus outer bags, meaning you need to compare multiple bags against one another. Also, given that sometimes you find plastic bags inside paper bags, it would seem to make sense to have a way of indicating a plastic bag was inside a paper bag as a placeholder so that in future a user can note missing information and enter the eventual paper bag number that might replace that plastic bag - assuming such a thing might happen. (Perhaps timestamp of entry can be used to guess sub-bag status for already-entered bags, but this is not ideal since it is not guaranteed; and isn't currently exposed to users of the site unless perhaps the bags are silently sub-sorted by timestamp?)

#811: Add a label printing facility to the parts database

Suggested by DavdintheUK on 11 Dec 2023 Status: Gathering support (11 Dec 2023)

The parts database is a great resource. I've been copying and pasting images to print sheets of labels for my storage boxes. It's quite laborious. Any chance of a tool to do this? For me (and, I'm guessing, others) it would be very helpful to be able to select a few parts and then have their images automatically transferred into a document that could be used to print labels. (I'm using Avery 50*37mm oval labels, 21 per A4 sheet.)

I note Huw's 2020 article ( https://brickset.com/article/51721/storage-solutions-rslotb ) on storage where he discusses labels with multiple images. For those of us with more modest collections and using smaller containers one image per label is fine. I store parts in families that can be represented by a single image. Huw's offer in 2020 to release a system to print multiple images on labels does not seem to have been taken up. Perhaps single image labels would be more popular!?

Thanks for considering.

Brickset comment: I think this would just replicate, and not be as good as, Tom Alphin's resource for labels: https://brickarchitect.com/labels/

Does that suite your needs?

#403: Revamp the functionality when looking at a set's images for both mobile and desktop

Suggested by Rare_White_Ape on 03 Dec 2020 Status: Gathering support (03 Dec 2020)

Currently when you click on the 'more images' tab when browsing a set you're presented with a series of thumbnails. Clicking on one of them gives you a larger version of the image. In order to view the next one you click the 'next' button, etc. There are a few ease-of-use issues with the page as it is currently, which could be improved:

- On both mobile and desktop the 'previous' and 'next' buttons move each time you click an image, as they're tied to the size of the box that frames each image. It would be nice to have them kept in the same location at the bottom or the left and right of the screen to make flicking between each image a little easier. I'm aware that it is possible to use the arrow keys on a keyboard but some people just like using their mouse.

- On mobile the ability to pinch-zoom and swipe between images should be added.

- On desktop there is a tooltip that pops up where your mouse cursor rests and covers part of the image. Might it be worth disabling this feature, or figuring out another way to provide the information to users?

These features could be enabled optionally in the site preferences if anyone wanted to keep the current functionality.

Suggested by OneIsLit on 05 Nov 2022 Status: Gathering support (05 Nov 2022)

I have been using BrickSet to account for the sets that I own in my collection. However, recently I started buying sets for their parts -- sometimes in multiples. I would like to also list these sets as owned, but be able to distinguish them from sets that I have kept intact. At first, I thought this is easy, all I need to do is dedicate a "collection checkbox" for sets that have been purchased for parts. However, I have one set that I own three copies of. Two have been sorted for parts, whereas one has been kept intact. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a way for me to store this information. One idea, would be to add a numeric field to one or more of the collection checkboxes. Then I could have a checkbox called "Parts" and put a "2" in that box and a "1" in the "I own" field.

This is effectively the same as /10, which isn't perfect but doesn't limit you as much as /5, and it's good enough for most cases.

#469: The option to withdraw support from a suggestion

Suggested by ZeldaTheSwordsman on 14 Feb 2021 Status: Gathering support (14 Feb 2021)

First off, it's one of those things where it can be a bit too easy to click a button by accident or on cruise control. Case in point, it happened to me a moment ago with the swear filter suggestion (I think such filters are foolhardy and cause more trouble than they're worth, and thus do not support it, but I clicked it on cruise control because I was trying to show agreement with the administrator's rebuttal and now I can't undo it).
Second, people sometimes re-evaluate their opinion.

The benefit is that suggestions will not gain illegitimate support from these mistaken clicks, and that members will be allowed to change their minds.

#750: Consistent Tags for Batcaves

Suggested by JohnnyThunder1927 on 19 May 2023 Status: Gathering support (19 May 2023)

Hello! I am working on a Batcave MOC, taking inspiration from each Batcave TLG has released. I think it would be helpful to unite each Batcave set under a single "Batcave" tag, however, at present, only two sets share the tag (76183, 76252). Other tags, like "Batcomputer", are shared inconsistently with sets that do contain the Batcomputer. For instance, 76122 contains the Batcomputer, but does not list it as a tag. I think it would be more practical to unite each set under one "Batcave" tag, though, as this would be easier than using Batcave-adjacent tags and trying to find which ones are used on which Batcaves.

It would be nice if this suggestions page supported comments on each suggestion.

As another example, on the suggestion for including sizes / dimensions of some sets, you posted a comment asking for ideas on how to get that information, but I don't see a way to respond with those kind of suggestions. My first thought would be to see if it is possible to estimate the dimensions based on a 3D model of the set (at least for those which have models).

#306: Set default parts list view within user profile

Suggested by Murdocke23 on 17 Oct 2020 Status: Gathering support (17 Oct 2020)

One of my most common actions in Brickset is to view the parts of a set. I normally view set parts as a table, but need to load the Parts tab, then use the "view as parts in table", then sort by quantity or the number of sets the part appears in. This works but gets tedious when I do it very often. The new "unique parts" and "rare parts" views are handy, but I do like to see the entire list for set. Others may have different preferences.

What would be great would be to have a "Show set parts first as..." setting in our user profiles that would alter the behaviour of what is shown first when selecting the Parts tab for a set - the normal list, or jump right to the table or inventory views or to BrickLink.

Bonus feature: would be to even have default options for those views: as gallery or knolled, sorted by quantity, design appearing in sets, etc.

I am sure this is not a number that can be easily generated from existing data, but it would be nice to have a separate number for the number of colors that can actually be seen in the finished product. This number would ignore all bright crazy colored bricks that are buried deep in the model, never more to be seen. (i.e. in 76205 Gargantos Showdown on pages 14-15 there are several parts in colors that do no show anywhere on the exteriors of the model). Not sure this could be added to the inventory page as it would need eyes on the model itself to confirm. ... I guess looking at all the detail pages there is not really a color count to begin with.

For instance, 75192 millenium falcon would be #1 in terms of number of pieces, #6 in terms of number of minifig, etc… Rank may be based on number of pieces, number of minifig, etc and we would have the opportunity to choose the underlying basis for the rank.

#705: Allow entering original prices (MRSP) of sets for former currencies (pre-€ ones)

Suggested by evvdu95 on 24 Oct 2022 Status: Gathering support (24 Oct 2022)

In order to have a better view of the original prices of the sets, it should be interesting to be able to record prices for old sets with their original currency and/or their Euro equivalent as these are always missing, and dollar prices are never accounted for inflation.

Indeed, there are tools in order to convert an amount from French Francs (in my case) to Euro, with taking consideration for inflation provided by the government (Insee calculateur Euro Francs).

As vintage sets often have a price tag on their boxes, it could be interesting to enter this price in a database, with a picture of the price tag (providing a proof that the price tag is authentic) in order to make a average price for the Brickset database. Many collectors owning boxed vintage sets could help in this regard.

This would stop people from thinking sets were dirt cheap in the past considering the dollar price and the fact it is not accounted for inflation.

#555: Wanted list fix when shown by year

Suggested by Namzor on 28 Jul 2021 Status: Gathering support (28 Jul 2021)

When looking at your wanted set list, you can use the year drop down to show just those sets from the selected calendar year. You can then use the two blue year links on either side at the top (and bottom) of the list, to jump a year forward or back easily. Where it screws up though is when you hit a year that has no wanted sets. It just throws a "No sets found" message, but the blue year links to jump to the next go away. Then you gotta go back a page, X out on the year, pick the next following year you have wanted sets, before you hit another empty year, then back and X out again, and so on. Those two blue year links to jump ahead or back, should be at the there regardless on whether the year shows a null value for the amount of sets wanted. To make it easier to sort by year and jump around as desired. This is a simple quality of life fix, that would make it vastly easier and less frustrating to navigate your wanted list while looking at sets per calendar year.

#954: Formal Support of Packaging Variants

Suggested by nicodax on 13 Apr 2025 Status: Gathering support (13 Apr 2025)

Following up on suggestion #324 by Brickset user JekoRhino: would Brickset ever implement a more detailed breakdown of possible packaging variants within the database? In terms of implementation I imagine it would have to be a flag set on the user side, since I doubt it would be possible to confirm the existence of every possible permutation. Instead perhaps it would be feasible for Brickset to tabulate the versions users have selected as owning and display that info. There are quite a few possible aspects that could be tracked:

1.) Physical differences. Often times this also corresponds to which factory the set was made at.
2.) Localization, since sometimes text was translated for regional markets.
3.) Set redesigns.
4.) Rereleases and other graphic design changes over time.
5.) Special co-promotional editions.

It is also well documented when various LEGO factories were operational, so that would be a good cross-reference to use for what would be appropriate depending on release year. Overall I don't know if this would be too much of an undertaking to implement, but as a collector it would be a very helpful feature to have. Thanks!

For example, a Gold reviewer will have the status: Role at brickset: Gold Reviewer, Registered User. The silver and bronze reviewers will also get the status respectively of their contributions. By doing this, it will show that Brickset acknowledges the members' contribution and at the same time also provide more variation on the status/title.

Hopefully this can be implemented!

#465: Return more of the available database fields when using custom queries

Suggested by voyman on 09 Feb 2021 Status: Gathering support (09 Feb 2021)

In a recent article (https://brickset.com/article/46661/which-sets-have-been-available-for-the-shortest-period-of-time) Huw looked at availability of sets on lego.com and a commenter suggested doing this analysis for the Ideas theme.

Curious if I was able to perform this analysis using a custom query, I ran into a little snag: while there is a plethora of fields from the database available to filter and sort on in queries (including the required "days available at lego.com" for the analysis in question), the output from running the query only returns the "basic" fields like number, name, year etc. rather than the full list of fields like the "*" in the query would suggest.

As a first step the table view for the results could include the fields used in the query (either as filter or sort criterion), which would enable the aforementioned analysis.

Further enhancement could be to include a multi select list for the database fields as part of the query definition form, which could be used to define the select part of the query.

#158: Find members with similar collections and message them

Suggested by alfred_the_buttler on 02 Oct 2020 Status: Gathering support (02 Oct 2020)

So right now all you can do is see a handful of members who have a similar number of sets, minifigures, and brick count as you and you can view their collection. But wouldn’t it be cool to see actual similar collections. You would need to come up with some sort of algorithm based on size, similar theme interests, and matching sets and minifigures. Perhaps you award 10 points for each matching set you own, and 5 points for each matching minifigure. Then for themes, perhaps 1 point for each set in a particular theme based on the member with the fewest sets. Finally you could award bonus points based on similar collection sizes, maybe 25 points if the number of sets, bricks, or minifigures is within a 10% range.

This would be a great way to see what other sets someone else has that you may want, and if you can message them, a great way to build Lego friendships.

#593: Lego Users Dictionary

Suggested by Hyperjon on 01 Dec 2021 Status: Gathering support (01 Dec 2021)

Like most avid fan communities, Lego users have created a fair number of specialized acronyms, nicknames and words. This “language” helps us to quickly and accurately describe parts, building techniques, events, groups, and other aspects of our fandom. Even our self-defining term, AFOL, is an acronym that few outside of the hobby would understand. But newbies to the hobby could quickly get lost while reading an article or a forum post without some guide to help them. I propose a simple page that lists a number of these terms and acronyms along with their definitions to be used as an “Urban Dictionary” for Lego. The page could be “written” by the community itself through the use of a poll to gather the terms that should be included along with the definitions of said terms.

#810: Order sets by the quantities of a given part

Suggested by pedro_lego on 30 Nov 2023 Status: Gathering support (11 Dec 2023)

Add the ability to select one specific part (let's say a Large Angular Motor) and order all sets that contain this part by quantities. On this list, only sets that contain at least one of the selected part will appear (so in this example, all sets on this list would have at least one Large Angular Motor) and they can be ordered by quantities, either ascending or descending.

This could be very useful to analyse for example how many sets contains motors, or use this for tracking how many train tracks are added to each train kit, or even track for curiosity which are the sets with the largest amounts of a given piece (what is the set in the world with the largest amount of Technic pins? I don't know).

As far as my knowledge goes, I don't think it possible today to get a report with all motors on Technic sets and do side by side comparison. I would have to create a list on a spreadsheet and manually pull this information from each part list and add them as columns on my spreadsheet.

Brickset comment: This is currently possible by searching for a part and then clicking on the link on number of occurences, so for angular motors, the Tehcnic version:

#324: Add more Info to the Packaging like Box Type and a way to search for it.

Suggested by JekoRhino on 22 Oct 2020 Status: Gathering support (22 Oct 2020)

There are allot of different types of LEGO Boxes/Packaging and the three types I know from Brickset: Box, Polybag and Foilpack.
Usually I want to know the size of a Set box when researching it and the dimension on Bricklink aren't that intuitiv/helpfull.
It would be nice to know what size a Set Box has and maybe get a reference for it out of your own collection or wanted list.

Some Examples:

The thumb tag Box: 42112: Concrete Mixer Truck, 75286: General Grievous's Starfighter, 75276: Stormtrooper, ...
*The thin thumb tag Box: 21156: BigFig Creeper and Ocelot, 75267: Mandalorian Battle Pack, 42102: Mini CLAAS XERION, ...
The folded taped Box: 75288: AT-AT, 75292: The Razor Crest, 42099: 4x4 X-Treme Off-Roader, ...
The (interlocking) Flap Box: 21303: WALL-E, 21313: Ship in a Bottle, 21314: TRON: Legacy and 40413: Mini Robots, ...
The Cake Box: 42115: Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, 42083: Bugatti Chiron, 42056: Porsche 911 GT3 RS, ...
The Pizza Box: 9398: 4x4 Crawler, 42006: Excavator, 8877: Vladek's Dark Fortress, ...

*The thin thumb tag box might be unassay distinction because at a certain size the boxes just have the thin carboard.
The Flap, Pizza and Cake Box are quite similar. The Flap Box has that part that reaches around and goes in,
the Pizza Box is/was that nice sturdy Box you could dump all Parts into when building,
and the Cake Box has separate top and bottom halves that usually have that very satisfying fit.

I am sure there are more types of Boxes especially in the earlier days and better names for them too.
One that comes to my mind is the display Box that I only know one Set for: 8287: Motor Box.
This is just a list of Sets that I know have different box types. Probably because I am a little box hoarder and
think more about them them some others.

Brickset comment: Wow, that's a level of detail I never thought anyone would find interesting or useful!

An added complication to this requirement is that box types vary by region. In Europe most of our small- and medium-sized boxes are 'thumb tag' but the same sets are often packed with tape seals for the North American market.

I welcome your suggestions as to how we could gather this information, particularly for older sets.

#369: Correctly count set relations (included in, etc)

Suggested by sid3windr on 15 Nov 2020 Status: Gathering support (15 Nov 2020)

There are quite a number of sets which include others: set collections (e.g. pack of 3 sets in a larger box, sold under a single sku), 'full series cmf' (containing all cmfs), dimensions starter kits (all include the parts pack). Possibly others that I have not run into yet.

I don't tick the separate ones as 'owned' because in my eyes that's database pollution; if I tick the 'full series 16' which has 'contains these 16 sets' as an attribute, I should not need to tick the 16 separate minifigs as well - why else is the 'full series' entry there?

That does however mean the 'total set' counter is not accurate because it does not take the included sets into account.

Not ticking the separate starter parts pack for dimensions means the collection analysis does not show 100% for the dimensions theme, so that part of the site should also take this relation into account.

Maybe sets can be marked owned through that relationship, just like you have parts and minifigs that you either have thanks to a set, or separately in your collection.

What you would want to do with the 'may contain' relation (in the case of a closed cmf blind bag), I don't know...

Brickset comment: I understand your request and why it could be desirable for some, but it's not that simple to implement and please everyone, unfortunately.

Say, for example, you mark that you own a 'complete set' of series 1 minfigures and that as a result the 16 minifigs in it were marked as owned. Do you then own 16 sets, or 17?

The 'complete set' entries are primarily for those that don't want their set collections inflated by individual figures.

The limited-time window to comment on official reviews is an incredibly frustrating limitation and undercuts the ability to discuss the review. The frustration is made worse by the fact that since PMing members is such a convoluted process here on Eurobricks, these comments are the best way to point out any errors in the review.

#308: Add a user profile option to "jump to" favourite set page tab from list pages

Suggested by Murdocke23 on 17 Oct 2020 Status: Gathering support (17 Oct 2020)

To help improve the browse experience across multiple sets, it would be great if we had an option in our user profiles that lets us "jump to" the tab of set pages we are most interested in directly from list pages. The allows us to avoid having to open a set's page, then select the tab of interest each time. The "jump to" option would bring us immediately to the related feature/tab of a set that we use most frequently.

Within our user profiles, the option would allow us to select from options such as "parts list", "description", "prices", "video reviews", etc - whatever options are most-used after viewing a main set page.

After being selected, the option would appear as a new link - either in the directly in the list page or within a set's "zoomed in" highlight box - alongside each set's number/theme/year buttons. (i.e. with a label such as "View parts", or "View prices")

When the option is not set, by default no extra link is added, so only it is only displayed by those who set the value and understand their own context for their most-used set page feature.

It would be so helpful for when you're out shopping and can't remember which sets you're wanting to get and you know there's a sale or it's a gift for someone.

As I've added new checkboxes to track different things about my collection, the list would be better suited in a different order. However, the only way (that I know of) to change the order of the list would be to go through every item on the list and uncheck it...and then re-check it for another list while also unchecking stuff from that list and then re-checking it on the original list. As you can see, this would be a huge pain for any list with more than a handful of items. If I could simply re-order the lists, it would save a ton of time and effort. (On the back end, you could either track someone's preferred list order OR have a procedure do all the dirty work of changing the item status.)

#349: Prices paid for set

Suggested by kkoster79 on 04 Nov 2020 Status: Gathering support (08 Nov 2020)

Another website recently popped up here in the states, but isn't as good as brickset.com - One feature they do have is putting in the price you paid for a set. It adds to the algorithm to track the prices being paid by users of the site, which is great as a real time evaluation of what the price of a set should be. So when you buy something at retail, or later on ebay, you can track what you paid for the set. I do this in a separate excel sheet so I know when I bought it, and for how much, and see about savings I had or how much I have been spending within the year. GASP! :) But I feel this would be an excellent addition to tracking sets.

Brickset comment: You can add this in the Advanced Collection Manager and soon I will make better use of that data.

#672: Add current values and launch dates from db pages to API

Apologies if I am missing these within the current setup - but I seem unable to find these data points within the API itself:

* Current value (both new and used would be great)
* Launch date (which seems to vary sometimes from first date available in stores - particularly with newer sets - example: 10497-1)

#686: Add the number of sets with unknown price in Sets collection analysis

Suggested by Electre on 16 Aug 2022 Status: Gathering support (16 Aug 2022)

When viewing the 'Sets collection analysis' in 'Home > Your Collection', the total price for each line doesn't reflect exactly what is inside the theme.

For example (I'm in France and are using the price in €) :
- I own some old sets in theme Adventurers and their price (RRP) is known only in $ : the total is displayed at 0.00, but that's wrong since they have a RRP.
- I own some promotionnal sets : the total is displayed at 0.00 and that's ok since they were GWP

If the conversion in currency is not possible, could we have another column behind the total value indicating the number of sets for which the conversion could not be found ? This would allow to know that some sets are missing when looking at the analysis.

I think it would be intresting to have reviews of things not normally covered a parent reviewing duplo, or an adult doing the same or an educator reviewing the specific sets designed for them. Same would apply for mobility challenged or parents of behavioral challenged individuals.

I get that anyone can review but however highlighting them or sponsoring them and putting in news feed would draw in crowds outside normal sources (Parents & Educators) and might increase awareness and diversity as well as be intresting...

#447: Bricklists less monotonous to compile

Suggested by jalc_45 on 17 Jan 2021 Status: Gathering support (17 Jan 2021)

I have made a few bricklists mainly for my own use, and I intend to make more. However, I find it mildly monotonous to switch between a tab where you have set numbers, to entering them. I am aware you can also click "add this set to a bricklist" but, for sets that generally aren't associated together in the database that I want to put on my bricklists, I need to search up each individual set. Now, what I am suggesting won't solve that problem, but it will solve a few other ones. You may read this and think me stupid because I don't know there actually is (pause for emphasis on "is") a way to do this, but I am unaware of it, but I digress. I am suggesting that there is a way to select multiple sets from the database at once and add them all to a bricklist, or do some other action, such as in Gmail. I apologize for the long-winded, comma-ridden suggestion. I am rather fond of commas (pause for nonexistent laughter).

I enjoy browsing the new user reviews under the "Latest Reviews" heading on the home page. Lately, when I click on the link to scroll through them, however, I don't see only new reviews, but also old reviews that have just been edited (they already have "useful" votes). Sorting through the old ones to find the new ones is tedious, and the new reviews are buried as a result. So I suggest changing the review timestamping so that updating an old review does not change its date.

I have often found that the "videos" tab under a set has very few entries, even though if I search YouTube directly, there are more video reviews available for that set. The "submit video" button requests that only video authors add links to their own videos, but if the YouTube API was used to fetch the user ID, brickset users could upload video links to help build up the library of reviews, without having to type in the producer name, whilst ensuring that the "video reviews" lists per video producer remain consistent.

#931: More Sort features for Sets

Suggested by R1_Drift on 29 Jan 2025 Status: Gathering support (10 Apr 2025)

My ideas:
Value new ascending
Value used ascending
-This is mainly just to satisfy my inner completionist, and also a good way to find cheap sets.

These ones are harder to implement, but I must mention them.
Sorting by:
ratio of MSRP to current Value New
ratio of MSRP to current Value Used
Helps find out how big the markup is on sets like #10195, and also can help users find underpriced gems like #70164.

Brickset comment: One reason we have not provided Value new ascending and Value used ascending is that we don't have values for all sets. so those without one would, possibly confusingly, appear at the top of the list.

This time of the year, with the advent calendars, instead of having each calendar having its own article every day, I would suggest having only one article per day for the calendars. Then, within that article, each of the types of calendars can have its own link. This would greatly clear up space on the front page. Now, with all the new announcements for upcoming sets, it will be easier to see those on the front page. As it is, those get pushed back off the front page with too many advent calendar articles.

#634: Minifigs Up Down Feature like sets

Suggested by AjaxAbacus on 24 Feb 2022 Status: Gathering support (24 Feb 2022)

So, if I go onto any set, let's use set 675: Snack Bar as example, then just below the Facebook, Twitter and all the stuff, you will find the <<674 and 677>>. I love this feature, but I was wondering if it will be possible to add this to the minifigs as well.

So lets take SW0312 as an example. If there was <<SW0311 and >>SW0313, that would save me a lot of time when working with my collection. I know this is not always true, but usually the SW's that follow each other are in the same set. So when you are putting some notes in regarding the minifigs, this will save some time.

I do not think this feature needs to works like the sets, when you hold your mouse over the 677>> then you see a picture of the set. Of course it will be great.

So again it helps with saving time, as I do not need to type in SW0313 in the search bar... so again, this idea is due to laziness...

#630: A weekly (or bi-weekly or whatever works) article containing interesting stories about members sets and how we acquired them, written by us.

Suggested by jalc_45 on 17 Feb 2022 Status: Gathering support (17 Feb 2022)

I think this is an interesting concept, but it could be hard to execute. Basically, you add a section on Brickset very similar to this one, expect private so only certain members of the Brickset team can see it. Members of Brickset could write stories (anywhere from a few sentences to multiple paragraphs) about an interesting way the got a set/figure, or some other story specifically about that set and submit them to the aforementioned section. There could be an area where the writer put in the set number and their name as well. Then, to make it simple, the Brickset team could copy maybe like 5 of these and paste them into an article and publish it. Basically, this would be an article full of entertaining member written stories for everyone else to enjoy. For example, I have a very interesting story about how young 2013 jalc_45 foolishly traded a sealed copy of 7962: Anakin Skywalker and Sebulba's Podracers from 2011 for 70709: Galactic Titan. (My parents refunded the pod racer set and used the money to get the other set, a trade). I very much regret that decision nowadays.

#489: Photo's of source material for comparison for sets based on a source material.

Suggested by Johnny__Thunder97 on 16 Mar 2021 Status: Gathering support (16 Mar 2021)

For reviews of licensed products, e.g. Star Wars, Marvel etc. in which the set is based on a source material, having a still from the source material would really enhance the product reviews.
This is especially the case with mini figures for example, and would really help get points across to the readers when discussing niche things (e.g an updated print of Darth Vaders torso for example).
I regularly find myself in a separate tab searching pictures of the source material and clicking back and forth to compare things like that- so having it in the article would be awesome!

I'm aware that there are all sorts of copyright rules around using things such as movie still (though I'm not clued up on specifics)- and I had long thought that this was the main reasoning- but the recent 'Malevolent Minifigures!' article (from CapnRex101 on 14/03/2020) used plenty of live action stills, which got me wondering why similar stills can't be used in product reviews?

Suggested by GragOtho on 03 Oct 2020 Status: Gathering support (03 Oct 2020)

View of the set-pictures for a set: If I select the pictures for the set in large view and want to click through them, the privacy button is always in the immediate vicinity of the "Next" button for the next picture, because the picture boxes arrange themselves after 1-2 pictures at the bottom of the screen. That's really bad :(

Possibly helps to always center the image box or a kind of fullscreen image view.

-> Simply a possibility to look at the pictures quickly, clearly and in large size within the set. The separation of the main picture and "other" pictures is basically also suboptimal.

Pinch to zoom must also be used better than zooming the whole website right away.

Suggested by bandit778 on 12 Oct 2021 Status: Gathering support (12 Oct 2021)

Now that the 'Sets Collection Valuation' page is available and lists in both New and Used categories I was wondering if it's possible to have any sets that are marked as built automatically changed from new to used so the valuation is then corrected.
It was something that crossed my mind after looking through my collection and realising that despite building a load of sets, they are still listed in my collection as new.
I'd always taken the tags to be the difference between purchase options so I could differentiate between buying boxed sets or sets that were second hand and never changed the tags away from that but technically, even though a set was purchased new, this isn't true after it's been built.
I realise this won't be for everyone but maybe if a check box was added on the members profile settings so they can opt to do this is they want to to keep the valuations closer to correct (especially if the listing is used for insurance values).

#585: Be able to browse all sets, not have to sort by one theme or year

Suggested by zacharyc on 24 Oct 2021 Status: Gathering support (24 Oct 2021)

I like to browse all the sets but it seems as if you have to select on one specific theme or year and can’t just browse all sets and then add a filter if you would like/ multiple filters (such as seeing 2+ different themes). It would be nice to be able to select as many themes ( or years) as you would like and then sort them by the current options.

An ability to sort comments would be useful- e.g. by most recent, or by most likes... Often I click on an article but it has over 100 comments already- so I don't have time to read them all... but if I could arrange by most liked comments for example, then I could see myself finding that really useful!

#344: Add secondary ‘sort by’ filters

Suggested by mr_Fikou on 04 Nov 2020 Status: Gathering support (10 Nov 2020)

I’m someone who uses the wanted list feature a lot, and as such I’m very happy about the new prioritizing feature. However, this makes for another issue that I have already previously encountered. I always like to see all sets from a certain theme being put after one another when sorting them. Usually this can be done by sorting them by theme or subtheme, but when I go and sort them by year released or the new priority feature, everything with the same tag (year or priority, in this case) gets first put together but will then be sorted by their set number.

My idea to address this issue is rather simple: I think being able to add a secondary ‘sort by’ filter after selecting the first one would fix this. So for example: you first select ‘sort by priority’ so that everything with the same number on the priority list will be placed with each other, and then you can select ‘sort by subtheme’ which will put all sets from the same theme and same spot on the priority list together. You could also do this with ‘year released’ as primary sorting option and ‘priority’ as the secundary, for example.

It might also be handy to make a tertiary and maybe even a quaternary sorting option while you’re at it, for people who have a very big number of sets on their wanted list from i.e. the same year or theme.

Brickset comment: It sounds as if it could get complicated for an edge use case!

Don't forget you can create queries and specify as many fields to sort by as as you like which, while not so convenient, might meet your needs.

#320: Expose ACM data in API v3

Suggested by LegoSonicBoy on 20 Oct 2020 Status: Gathering support (20 Oct 2020)

My site uses the API to gather data about the sets I own so I can display my collection and associate custom data with what Brickset provides. This includes ACM data for all sets I've collected post-Dark Age.

In API v2, ACM data was available so I could pull data on when I acquired each copy of a set, its current status (MISB, built, or parted out), how much I paid for it and so on. In API v3, this data is no longer exposed. I'm presuming it's because it was underused back in v2 — Huw, you'd probably be able to ascertain this.

However, my site relies on this data for personal use and I'm not keen on having to enter the same data manually twice now (once on Brickset's ACM and once in my personal database). I appreciate that it's not trivial to implement ACM in the new API but I would greatly appreciate if that could be done.

#832: split set tags into "major" and "minor"

Suggested by TheWatcher on 11 Feb 2024 Status: Gathering support (11 Feb 2024)

I propose dividing set tags into 2 types based on how much of the set they apply to. At the moment, the CASTLE tag shows any set that features any reference to a castle, regardless of how small it is compared to the rest of the set. There is no easy way to show all sets that are castles, rather than just including a castle. In my suggestion, major tags would describe all or most of the set. They would describe what the set is, rather than what it includes. Tags that apply to the set as a product, rather than describing the model (e.g. 5TH WAVE, or D2C) would also be major. Tags that apply to side builds, minifigures, example builds from the classic theme, or a small part of the main build would all be minor (unless the set is a minifigure, such as CMF).

When browsing sets, you would then be able to filter for major tags and/ or minor tags.

Here are some examples of what the major tags would be for some sets that have lots of tags:

10326 Natural History Museum: 18 plus, city, d2c, modular building, museum, neoclassical, science
80036 The City of Lanterns: 5th wave, asia, china, city, lego 90th anniversary, megapolis, mini modular, monkie kid modular system
11021 90 Years of Play: anniversary set, lego 90th anniversary, lego history

All other tags currently on these sets would be minor. These are the kinds of sets this system is aimed at, since they include so many tags for all the small references in them. This means they show up a lot when browsing by tag or making queries, including when they aren't really what I want to see.

I understant that implementing this would be a major task, but if enough people want this, I hope you consider it for next time you feel ready to add a big feature to the site.

#569: Value function / app idea

Suggested by TysLym on 24 Sep 2021 Status: Gathering support (24 Sep 2021)

Google-Translator:

You have ALL relevant data updated (daily?) from Bricklink. Wouldn't it be possible to program a value function for minifigures as well? With a few sets it works pretty well on your website. "We have retail prices for XXX of your sets. Their retail value is $ XXXXX. "
So something like that, just a little more complex. Not just retail prices but an average approximate collector's value.

I structured my Excel list as follows:

Column heading (# sample cell text #)
1.) Name of the minifigure (Darth Revan)
2.) item no. (sw0547)
3.) Theme world (Star Wars)
4.) Quantity (1)
5.) Purchasing price paid including shipping (€ 80) which is determined by the user in his inventory
6.) Value according to the actual retail price Bricklink (EU) first / second or cheapest NEW price (€ 110.00)
7.) Value according to the actual retail price Bricklink EU first USED "good condition" or cheapest NEW price (€ 109.00)
8.) Average of both prices (€ 109.50)
9.) Average value - Purchasing price = increase in value (€ 29.50)
10.) Sum of the value - quantity * average of both prices (€ 109.50)

Since it is an Excel file, I have been asking myself for some time how I keep points 6 & 7 up-to-date without constantly determining the value of my 990 figure collection on bricklink. As a 3-time father and husband, it is very difficult to have the time or understanding of my family.
Although there is nothing more important to me than my family - to clarify briefly, in case I have given a wrong picture.

Then there would also be an increase in the value of a figure. That you set a purchase price in the inventory, which you can create on your website. Its own actual purchase price for a figure, as mentioned in my point 5.).
This would then result in an increase in value (point 9). And also another opportunity to see the total value of your collection.

Idea for an app:
.) Image recognition function. The app accesses the mobile phone camera and scans the mini figure. The bricklink database searches for the parts that have been scanned and assigns head accessories, head, torso and legs to an actually existing figure. Or then finds the figure for the parts that were scanned. -> Then a forwarding link form the figure to bricklink / Amazon / Ebay… á la "invest now"- button
.) Forecast function - factors such as popularity, availability and rarity - in short: "supply and demand" - which are also subject to further fluctuations during its life cycle: introduction, market saturation, EOL follows the final collector's value ... Then there may be a remake of one Figure, which could also change the collector's value again ...
-> Performance table in line chart form. All existing sales values from the past and its de-/increases.
-> Data from actual sales figures according to Bricklink
-> daily current value
.) Ability to create an account and record your collection / inventory.
? Share with friends, compare
.) Wanted list for minifigures / sets
.) Bargain Alert

I would have just used a lot of ideas and sometimes only used the keywords. I’d happy to enter into a dialogue if you have any questions and are just as enthusiastic about my idea as I am.

I look forward to every feedback you give me.

regards
Patrick

#836: inclusion of LEGO advertising on Brickset

Suggested by Pebuz on 19 Feb 2024 Status: Gathering support (19 Feb 2024)

Dear you,

I would like to say that if the subject does not concern your department, I would like it to be sent to the department or person concerned who could complete the project, thank you for your understanding. I apologise for my broken English.

I hope this message finds you well. I'm contacting you to find out more about the possibility of including LEGO advertising displays on Brickset.

As you know, Brickset is a leading platform for LEGO enthusiasts worldwide, providing comprehensive information and references on LEGO sets, themes and related events. By showcasing LEGO advertising displays, Brickset would further enhance its value proposition to the LEGO community by offering an overview of the different advertising displays that can be found on the market, by listing these displays it offers the LEGO collector a true database, which is currently non-existent on LEGO advertising displays.

By including LEGO advertising windows on Brickset, both parties will benefit significantly. Brickset would strengthen its position as the go-to resource for all things LEGO, attracting increased traffic and engagement from users interested in staying informed about showcase varieties and product releases. Simultaneously, LEGO would gain visibility for its marketing initiatives, reaching a highly targeted audience of LEGO enthusiasts.

I believe that by integrating LEGO display advertising into the Brickset platform, you can create a mutually beneficial partnership that amplifies the reach and impact of LEGO's marketing efforts while providing valuable content and resources to the Brickset audience.

Thank you for considering my proposal and sorry for my english.

Sincerely gabriel,

I have tried two ways to query for the data I want: Exit Date = null, or Exit Date = <Specific Date>.
Since most available sets have Exit Date = "{t.b.a}", the null query wasn't helpful.

When browsing a theme (e.g. Star Wars), while we can narrow our search by filtering based on subtheme, category, year, etc. there are usually still too many sets to comb through. While it is possible to filter by the tags by clicking on the tag of interest and then filtering by theme and subtheme, it would be very useful to have the tags available as a filter option in a drop-down like how subtheme, category, year, etc. are already available. Also, if we could have the list options available as a multi-selectable tick-box type list, then we can choose what we want or don't want to see in the results (e.g. Star Wars > starfighter tag > exclude microscale, exclude microfighter, exclude UCS) if we only want minifig scale playable starfighters.

#628: Better Ad Performance

Suggested by chicks on 15 Feb 2022 Status: Gathering support (15 Feb 2022)

A few times lately I've browsed brickset from machines where I did not want to login. It was amazing to me how much slower the site was without being logged in and thus having the display ads disabled. Instead of coming up nearly instantly it took multiple seconds for the ads to appear for the page to finish loading. I'm guessing this is something most users won't see since we manage to stay logged in most of the time.

* The non-ad brickset content rendered quickly so it seems to be a specific issue with the ad network, not your content or database servers.
* I don't think it has anything to do with the speed of the machine. I've seen this on ten-year-old Macs and a 2021 MacBook Pro with an M1 Max processor.
* I don't think it has anything to do with the network, which has been great otherwise. Ads on other sites render within a second or two. The brickset ads are taking noticably longer.

#337: Search sets by 7-digit item number, and display them in the set page

Suggested by loenan on 31 Oct 2020 Status: Gathering support (31 Oct 2020)

Lego sets have a 4 or 5-digit set number, usually used to identify them, but they also have a 7-digit item number, internally allocated. But these 7-digit number are sometimes exposed instead of more human-readable 4/5-digit set numbers, for example in the VIP program purchase history page (https://www.lego.com/en-gb/vip/rewards-center/account). It could be useful that we could retrieve which sets the 7-digit numbers are, by being able to find them from the search bar.

As the information would be available in the database, it could also be useful to display these numbers on the set page.

Brickset comment: We don't have the information for many sets, I'm afraid, so searching for them would not yield useful results.

I've just checked: we have around 1000 item numbers for UK/EU/ROW sets and 4000 for US/CA sets. The information is not generally available. We do, however, have more EAN and UPC codes and you can search by them.

I own 4 of the Beatles Lego Art sets. That counts as 4 in my collection of sets, but I only get Piece counts for 1 set. Same for The Marvel Iron Man Lego Art set. I own 3. Perhaps make a separate listing for any of us that have built the larger alternate build.

#348: Add tag for creator sets with 4th official model

Suggested by msiderski on 04 Nov 2020 Status: Gathering support (08 Nov 2020)

There is usually one creator 3 in 1 set per year that has a “secret” official fourth model. There have been a couple brick lists to try to do this but they have become abandoned and outdated. I think a tag would be a better choice.

And the bigger ask is, can we get the extra instructions added to instructions tab?

#498: Add the percentage owned at Rebrickable.com widget to search results

Suggested by AnAnonymousAutistic on 31 Mar 2021 Status: Gathering support (07 Apr 2021)

At the monnet it is extremely time consuming to have to go to an individual set's page to see the percentage owned at Rebrickable.com. For instance if you want to see which of the Imperial Shuttles you have the highest percentage of parts of, multiple tabs are required. If this feature was available in searches it would be much simpler.

Brickset comment: That's a great idea, but as the data comes from Rebrickable 'on the fly' when you view a set and not saved anywhere locally it would not be possible to do without querying Rebrickable for every set when the list is displayed,. I'd need to do up to 200 Rebrickable API calls per list, something I suspect Nathan at Rebrickable would object to!

#477: Revert or further upgrade the rich text editor

Suggested by ZeldaTheSwordsman on 02 Mar 2021 Status: Gathering support (07 Apr 2021)

This is fairly complain-y, but I'm not exactly fond of the current rich text editor for reviews. It doesn't seem to add anything that most browsers don't already do themselves, and it has the disadvantage of overriding the browser's right-click menu with its own, [i]and[/i] overwriting the browser's spellchecker and dictionary with its own. The latter gets to be rather annoying when dealing with franchises like Star Wars and Bionicle, especially if one had the names and terminology in their browser's dictionary already. I know I've ended up just turning it off rather than go through the hassle of adding the terms to the editor's dictionary to avoid my review crawling with distracting red squiggles.

I also noticed that the template that used to help give structure for reviews is gone. Why is that?

I think the editor should be changed to have these replacements should be removed, and perhaps restore the template.

Brickset comment: The browser's default text editor doesn't provide formatting and so on so which is why we use a different one, the same one that we use for authoring news articles, in fact.

I find the spell checker superior to the browser's, but I agree it can be a nuisance having to add names and so on to it.

#127: The ability to remove parts from owned set list if there missing from your collection

Suggested by TedBricks on 30 Sep 2020 Status: Gathering support (30 Sep 2020)

Just like minifigures with the function where if you own the set but it's missing it's minifigures or your missing some of them etc it's good there's a flag box which doesn't add the minifigure to your collection. It would be great if we had something similar for parts. If there was a way we could select the pieces we don't own. For example if you say you don't own a minifigure at all in a particular set, if you go to the sets part list it says you do own the parts of the minifigure but when in reality you don't. It would be nice to remove what you don't own. Saves lying, and so your parts collection is more accurate. But not just minifigure parts, all parts in general if your missing particular pieces from a certain set.

I think it would be very cool to create a Lego wiki for bricksetters. It would be great to have information on themes, or exclusives, or Lego designers, or...

A few months ago there was a series of articles on Star Wars aliens that appear as minifigures, combining these articles would make an excellent wiki article, and would allow users to update it whenever new aliens get released.

Obviously all of this is available now in data form, but it would be cool to have a written history of these topics. By making it a wiki, it would be user maintained so shouldn’t be too much additional work for Huw. Perhaps it could be setup where trusted reviewers could make changes without need for approval, and would be allowed to approve changes made by others.

One way this could be done is by adding the option to the set popup window, which appears when you hover the pointer over a set number. The option could be a simple checkbox at the bottom of the window, similar to the "I want this set" checkbox that appears on set pages.

The one issue with doing this with the current popup behavior is that the popup will disappear after a mouseout event from the set number. It would need to be visible longer for the new option to actually be selectable, without the window disappearing when you move the pointer down. Maybe the popup could appear directly under the pointer, and then disappear with its own mouseout event, instead of using the set number for the location and mouseout.

#592: Subset Stat

Suggested by DFX on 27 Nov 2021 Status: Gathering support (27 Nov 2021)

Add a feature to calculate how many users have the same sets and minifigures that you have (i.e. the number of collections where your collection of LEGO sets is a mathematical subset), or if your collection is unique: there exists one and only one Brickset collection with these elements.

I think there are some users that virtually own almost every set ever released, but maybe some kind of filter can be implemented (e.g. ignore the top X), or consider multiples of the same set/minifigure in the subset criteria, so if your collection consists of two #6876, only the collections with two or more #6876 can be counted as collections that contain yours.

Since this calculation may demand some computational power, the idea is to enable this feature through a link in the collection page, instead of automatically updating it like the collection piece count. An additional feature may indicate the set(s) you would need to have in order to make your collection unique.

I noticed all of the Creator sets, which take pride in being multiple sets across one set of pieces, only have the "main" boxart/title build as their model. Obviously it would be false advertising to show all three in one model, but there should be a drop-down with all the others. I've definitely purchased Creators with the intent of building alt builds.

#473: Add grouping of set parts by bag number or sub-assembly

Suggested by busyman on 18 Feb 2021 Status: Gathering support (21 Feb 2021)

It is a big ask to do this retroactively. But it would be useful to have when you want to acquire parts for a specific sub-assembly. Without this feature, I have to go through the instructions and manually make a list of the parts as they are being used. That's fine for smaller sub-assemblies, but it's a pain for larger ones. It doesn't help that Lego themselves don't group the parts by bag in the instructions manual.

#481: Make MORE brick built charters as minifigures

Suggested by TedBricks on 02 Mar 2021 Status: Gathering support (11 Mar 2021)

I know it's a long debated argument of what actually makes a minifigure but I have to be honest there are so many "minifigures" on the site which honestly I wouldn't class as minifigures but apparently they are. They've obviously been added like that because their certain characters from a movie franchise like Star Wars and overall that's fine in my opinion! More minifigures the better!
But honestly I think there's still a few out there which should count as minifigures if one's similar are been counted as minifigures. Like the brick built Groot for example from 2014. And many more...
Thanks for reading! :)

Brickset comment: Our minifig data comes from BricKLink and it seems they are categorising more brick-built characters as minifigs. I suspect it's an ongoing process so expect to see more added in future.

It would be great if we could put a quantity on each custom flag.

#608: Additional Collection Checkboxes

Suggested by PDelahanty on 05 Jan 2022 Status: Gathering support (05 Jan 2022)

I'm using all 8 collection checkboxes and could use another. (...and after that, probably another later.) Can the number be increased to 15 for those that want/need them?

For the record, these are my current categories (which are not in the best order and I'd like to rename, but that's already another suggestion...):
* Sold / Traded / Gone - I use this to mark sets I used to have at one point. These are not marked as "Owned" anymore, but I like to be able to be reminded that I once have it. (Saves me from saying, "Did I forget to mark that as owned? ...or did I sell it?"
* Mint in Sealed Box - Someone else suggested an "Intact" flag...and this is similar since I use it for stuff that is still sealed. I've started to transition stuff to "New" and "Used" markings, but haven't finished going through all the sets yet. (Honestly, I don't recall what's still sealed and will need to do a full inventory.)
* Brother / Niece - These are sets I got for my brother and/or niece. I use it to track what they have for help with gifting...also to remember which sets were part of our layout as kids, but are now at my brother's house.
* Ordered - Anything here is temporary, but I flag something when I order it and before it arrives. Helpful for those LONG backorders.
* Currently Assembled - It's built. Obviously.
* Basement - Most of my sets are in the basement, so I've marked those as such. Anything not marked with this is somewhere else in the house. (Likely my son's play room, my office, or my wife's office.)
* Wife's Set - I have these marked as "Owned" since they're in the house, but these are ones I bought for my wife or she has otherwise claimed as hers.
* Verified - With a large collection, some of the older ones were based on memory. They're marked here if they have been inventoried.

I'll be able to clear out some of these (MISB & Verified) once I do a full inventory, but I'll immediately use one of those for "Son's Set" and another for "Missing Pieces". ...and with all of these full, I'm also not able to use the "Minifigs Missing" option. (I don't have many of those though.)

So, yeah, anyway... TL;DR = more checkboxes please!

#629: Add Price Per Weight to compare to PPP (Similar to suggestion #620, but not the same)

Suggested by Real_Jonny_G on 16 Feb 2022 Status: Gathering support (16 Feb 2022)

Hello there,

I suggest adding Price Per Weight (PPW) to the set details for comparison to Price Per Piece (PPP). Please read on to understand why.

While watching a Lego YouTuber last night, they compared the weights of four sets, all having varying piece counts, but all had the same retail price of $30 USD. The weights were all relatively close to one another, with the 2nd highest piece count set (276 pieces at 311 grams: 9.6c per gram) weighing in at the lowest weight. That being said, this could arguably make the lowest piece count set (166 pieces at 324 grams: 9.3c per gram) a "slightly" better value when compared to the 2nd highest piece count set, if going by Price Per Weight.

Let's take the 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon and compare that to the largely criticized PPP 75252 UCS Imperial Star Destroyer. BrickLink shows 75192 being 13,150g, and 75252 being 12,480g. 75192 would be 6.0c per gram, and 75252 would be 5.6c per gram. Whereas the PPP for 75192 shows 10.6c, and for 75252 shows 14.6c. In my opinion, the PPW is a better comparison to understanding the retail cost than PPP. Compare those to the aforementioned sets from the YouTube video, and both UCS sets could be viewed as a better value if referring to PPW.

PPW actually makes a lot of sense to me, in that from a manufacturing standpoint, more material would cost more to produce. Not only from a material standpoint, but also the molds produced to create the larger parts, and so on and so forth. Price Per Piece is okay, but it doesn't show the whole picture, and I feel there is a stigma behind it.

It looks like some of the work may have already been done, with BrickLink showing the weight of each set. Not sure if EVERY set has a weight assigned to it on BrickLink, but the several I have looked into do.

Price Per Weight (PPW) would be an interesting comparison to PPP.

Thanks!

Hiya Huw,

I often look at how many uncommon or high value pieces are in a set when I find it for sale on a heavy discount. Essentially this is comparing cost to value.

#653: Total Value of Minifigure Collection & Individual Table Breakdown of Values

Suggested by _viator on 07 Apr 2022 Status: Gathering support (07 Apr 2022)

I think it would be great if collectors could see the total value of their minifigure collection, based on Bricklink prices which are already displayed on each minifigures' information page.

An option could be added for the user to input whether each minifigure they own is used or new and then the overall value of the collection could be calculated more accurately. Perhaps the collection value could also have a theme filter so its possible to see how much all of the owned minifigures from each theme are worth?

In addition, a table breakdown that shows all individual owned minifigures' current values would be brilliant and would save having to look up each minifigure individually to find this information out.

Another idea for those mad about statistics: graphs could be added to demonstrate how the individual minifigure values have fluctuated over time.

As the collectability of many minifigures is constantly changing, i think this would be a really useful tool for us all :)

#666: Add links to user profiles (without problematic spam)

Suggested by Dash_Justice on 17 May 2022 Status: Gathering support (17 May 2022)

I would be interest in having the ability to add (some) social media links to our profiles.

I know that Brickset previously offered the ability to have links on a user's profile, and that it was removed due to its abuse by spammers. To prevent this, you could make the portion of the URL related to the website unable to be edited. For example:

YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ [ text box ]

This would make it so that the link would only allow the channel ID number/name, as the portion that references YouTube is already in the code.

Obviously having a link option for every social media option under the sun from F*c*book to T*kT*k would be unwieldly, so perhaps a limitation to those that are actually used for Lego content creation, such as YouTube or Flikr would be reasonable to start?

It's understandable if this is outside the scope. I also recognize that websites typically like to keep traffic from leaving for revenue purposes.

#722: Add a Purchased Cost & Value Tracking Data Point

Suggested by Rogerg808 on 07 Jan 2023 Status: Gathering support (07 Jan 2023)

In my professional life, I’m an architect and project manager. My suggestion comes from my professional experience managing projects and budgets.

Summary: I would like to see a revision to the “Value” tool, to allow user/owners to track the % value increase or decrease. For instance:

1. Keep the retail cost function as-is. This number should match the pre-tax cost on Lego.com. This is the cost baseline.

2. Add a user-input field for date of purchase. This may vary from the release date, but would allow user/owners to track date of purchase.

3. Add a user-input for ‘purchased cost’. The user/owner can input their own pre-tax cost. This would allow the user/owner to track any difference from the Lego.com cost. (Example: if a set was on sale on Lego.com for $40, but there was a 20% off Black Friday sale, and the user/owner purchased the set for $32 (before tax), the purchased cost savings can be tracked by the owner).

4. Add a calculated value for “Value Gain/Loss”: Subtract the retail cost from the current market/street/eBay estimated value. (Will be a positive or negative number).

5. Add a calculated value for “Value Gain/Loss Percent”: Divide the retail cost into the current market/street/eBay estimated value to determine a % gain or loss.

My wife and I have a 2-year old son, and I hope one day he will play with all of my collection (currently sealed, new in box). However, if he (unfortunately) isn’t as into Lego as I am, this will equip me to sell those sets in a few years, and track my investment.

Comments and suggestions welcome!

#650: Found a Bug in the comments section.

Suggested by SlimBrick1 on 01 Apr 2022 Status: Gathering support (01 Apr 2022)

Sorry, didn't quite know where to bring this problem, but for some reason, I am occasionally not able to reply to comments. I don't know what this problem is but I was wondering if someone could look into it. I click on the "reply" button under someones comment but it just goes down to the place you can comment and doesn't automatically type their comment into your comment.

Thank you!

#243: Rename the Saved Pages in 'My Menu'

Suggested by jblego on 05 Oct 2020 Status: Gathering support (05 Oct 2020)

The default name for pages saved in My Menu dont reflect the level of filters I have and I often have to click to the page just to remember what it is. Being able to rename the label for the page saved would make this section way more useful!

#715: Year acquired option

Suggested by Bogdan501st on 10 Dec 2022 Status: Gathering support (10 Dec 2022)

You should add an option to mention the year one has acquired the sets in their collection. This would also lead to a new collection analysis option, in the form of a graph showing how many sets one has bought each year. If this option isn't completed on an owned set, then the default "Year acquired" status will be the year that set was released.

#853: Customisable setlists

Suggested by rebrickable on 03 May 2024 Status: Gathering support (03 May 2024)

Viewing interesting lists has things such as the most expensive sets excluding Star Wars, so I'm thinking:
Shouldn't there be a way to exclude other types of theme/set or only include that theme/set if you add a function for it?
This way you can focus on one theme or not include one theme (e.g Duplo isn't really the original LEGO, which I don't want to see on lists because it disrupts the flow and isn't what I wanted to see)
I'm sure that you would agree that some themes don't interest you and might not want to see other things such as LEGO that is an embarrassment to the company and should be forgotten (Belville, Galidor, and God forbid Scala)

#483: Greater Minifigure Categorisation Consistency

Suggested by pyromaniaclism on 03 Mar 2021 Status: Gathering support (12 Mar 2021)

There is currently a great deal of inconsitency across the minifigure subcategories. A common issue is where a "General" subcategory exists, many minifigures seem to be automatically put in there as opposed to the specific (existing) subcategory they should be in. (Examples I've spotted here being the Harry Potter and Holiday categories.)
Also, there are some categories where the sub-categorisation is inconsistent, for example in Star Wars most of the films get there own subcategory but the Original Trilogy is all lumped in together.
I realise this is probably a quirk in bricklink's data rather than anything native, but I thought I'd flag it up just in case something could be done about it

Brickset comment: This is frustrating but we are at the mercy of BrickLink, I'm afraid. We could add our our categorisation but that would be a lot of ongoing effort.

#495: "My Minifigures" Table

It would be nice to be able to see the list of minifigures you own along with the "New" and/or "Used" price for that minifigure. Also, perhaps more options to what items could be listed in that table.

#458: sorting on returned lists

Suggested by vincebowker on 01 Feb 2021 Status: Gathering support (02 Feb 2021)

allow sorting of the list displays by any or all column headers
possibly put another line above the column title with #@
where # is the importance of this column in sorting
and @ is the sorting direction for the column Ascending or Descending

such as i would like to sort by
1a - theme
2a - year
3a - number

3a 2a 1a
Number Name Theme - Subtheme Year Pieces Minifigs RRP Rating Own Want Your rating

you should be able to click on the column title to change its importance
this should be rememered between uses of a particular screen

Brickset comment: That sounds a comprehensive but complex solution!

Have you tried creating queries? You can sort by as many fields in whatever order you want. Not as 'user friendly' perhaps but available now.

#475: Ability to export the information captured in ACM.

Suggested by Dodgy1 on 25 Feb 2021 Status: Gathering support (25 Feb 2021)

This will be a great addition when exporting data related to sets owned.
When exporting set owned for example, the current set RRP is displayed, by adding the ACM information, you would be able to see the actual purchase price of the set.

#530: Order by size and colour for set part lists, the same as in instruction manuals

Suggested by absdependency on 30 Jun 2021 Status: Gathering support (30 Jun 2021)

Is it possible to order (and output) set parts lists by size and colour like Lego do in their instruction manuals? Personally I find this a much easier way of ordering and visualising a set, especially when putting together a set from owned/bought parts. I'm assuming that each part has a nominal size related to it which is how it is ordered on the back of the instructions. I've never found the process of 'Bricklinking' a mid to large set very easy, this would help easily compare your list of owned and wanted parts against the instructions. Thanks Huw.

#728: Queries for minifigures

Suggested by Duq on 12 Feb 2023 Status: Gathering support (12 Feb 2023)

Similar to queries for sets but for minifigs. There'd be fewer fields to query of course.
I can use the regular search to find 'Police' minifigs, or minifigs with 'sunglasses', but you can't search for 'Police' AND 'sunglasses'.

#165: Pure "Picture-View"

Suggested by GragOtho on 03 Oct 2020 Status: Gathering support (03 Oct 2020)

There should be another view besides List, Gallery and Table (and CSV) - a pure picture view ... a kind of "correct" gallery view. Only pictures with set number and name.

Basically, you could also design this feature so that there is a checkbox "only pictures" in the two existing views with picture (List and Gallery). Just to hide the rest.

#638: Suggest ideas

Suggested by Mayaking on 07 Mar 2022 Status: Gathering support (07 Mar 2022)

Have a part of the site have a place where you can submit an idea. Sort of like lego ideas but something where the idea doesn't get made. You could write about an idea you have for a theme you wish lego would make and you could comment on each persons description of their idea, liscensed or not. There could be a vote and this site could regularly show which ideas are the most popular. If someone had a more detailed idea they could describe individual imaginative sets.

#374: Add Collections checkboxes to the on-hover pop-up

Suggested by TheHacker on 21 Nov 2020 Status: Gathering support (21 Nov 2020)

It's great to be able to see a set in a pop-up just by hovering over it, but with new set reveals I'd love to have the ability to add it directly to a collection within the pop-up, such as "I want this set", or my personal Collection checkboxes "I don't want this set" or "Maybe?".

#641: The option for 'Bricks And Pieces' and/or 'Replacement Parts' to be added to the database

Suggested by Tobiwan07 on 13 Mar 2022 Status: Gathering support (13 Mar 2022)

The option for Bricks and Pieces and/or Replacement Parts to be added to your collection, this would work by you naming the order you placed with Lego, eg. 'Lego Order #1', and then you adding the Lego pieces you ordered. This would improve the site by making the piece count in the overview of your collection more reliable. And if a user has put in an order with Lego before this might be implemented and cant remember what parts they ordered, they can go into their order history on Lego.Com and find out what they've ordered previously.

#744: Crowdsourced part counts

Suggested by fakespacesquid on 23 Apr 2023 Status: Gathering support (23 Apr 2023)

Only about 2/3rds of my collection are given part counts. I'd be glad to help add these, and I'm sure others would be too! Similar to how tags for parts can be added, a simple number would be all that we (or just I) need. Maybe certain people can be given permissions, and they can go through and add them instead of opening it up to every user? Thanks for considering!

#926: Exclude tags while looking at minifigures

Suggested by dustyzach02 on 11 Jan 2025 Status: Gathering support (11 Jan 2025)

This is similar to suggestion #78, but specifically for minifigures. For example, if I wanted to look at all the wizards LEGO has produced, I'd go to the "Wizard" minifig tag. This shows all of the wizard minifigures, from Castle, CMF. The LEGO Movie, and... Harry Potter. The inability to look at this tag without the 300+ Harry Potter minfiigures makes it nigh-unusable for someone not interested in Harry Potter minifigures. The same can be said for the "Witch" tag. The "Brick Built Figure" tag is similarly dominated by Star Wars and Cars.

This issue can of course be rectified by looking at individual themes, but in the case of the CMF theme, it is also dominated by Harry Potter (albeit to a much smaller degree). Furthermore, it's more tedious and time-consuming to go through these individual themes than just excluding one overly-dominant theme.

If this is already possible or otherwise in the works, please correct me! Thank you to the Brickset team for all the work they do on this wonderful website.

#913: Contains part parameter for queries

Suggested by Giraffe20 on 13 Dec 2024 Status: Gathering support (13 Dec 2024)

Would it be possible to add a parameter to queries for when a set contains a certain part? It could enable searching for all sets with a certain part and tag. Or all sets containing minifigures and that part.
It could also enable finding sets that contain a certain set of parts of elements.

#732: The ability to choose multiple theme, sub themes and years in browse mode

Suggested by StrictestGiftedArtist on 05 Mar 2023 Status: Gathering support (05 Mar 2023)

This would make it easier and quicker to browse. Let's say you are looking for a set that you don't exactly know when or what theme it belongs to, then this would save you some time searching through multiple themes and years at the same time instead of having to perform a whole new search for every theme, sub theme and year.

#528: Add a build time field for a users owned set

Suggested by Fredwardo on 21 Jun 2021 Status: Gathering support (21 Jun 2021)

Currently, this can be added to the notes section, but having a dedicated field would allow you to track and sort the build time for how long it takes you to build the set. This would be useful if you wanted to rebuild a particular set at a later date when you have a set amount of time to spare or had a set number of hours available with a child/grandchild and wanted to build some lego with them to completion.

#699: Buttons to make moving from New to Used state easier

Suggested by alanthebrick on 28 Sep 2022 Status: Gathering support (28 Sep 2022)

I enter all my sets as I buy them. Then when I open them I have to decrement the New field and increment the Used field.

It would be nice if a single right arrow button did this for me. I'm using ">" in this text-based proposal, but could be a glyph. And for ease of undo probably a "<" button as well but also fine if not there.

E.g:

New Used
1 < > 0

Press ">"

New Used
0 < > 1

I know the design is a little opaque, but nothing a tooltip hint can't solve and separating New from Used is an advanced feature anyway.

I have dark mode set (and love it), but when I click on the ACM button to edit a set, the pop up box is white, not black / dark. This is a bit jarring. I would appreciate it if you could change this so the pop up window is also dark / black. Thank you so much for this wonderful site.
