I consider myself a Bricklink Expert buyer by now, I have well over 150 orders on my profile in the past 4-5 years. There are many things that I see that could be improved, but the top 2 for me are:

1/ Changing addresses is so freaking hard. I am often traveling and want to ship to different addresses, whether I am in Germany, Portugal or the US. Just to get a quote for shipping I have to manually retype the entire address EVERY SINGLE TIME on my profile to get basic info when comparing sellers. This drives me nuts. At least allow me to have an address book!

2/ Shipping TBD is so frustrating. There are no tools to support our buyer experience when TBD appears. There is the quote mechanism but this often not available. You have to click on the contact message and try to describe to the seller what is that you want and the address you have to ship it to. Then they email you back and you send a screenshot via email for you card. It takes sometimes days to get just a single quote.

Is there anyway to see your orders after they have been purged?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for someone who could either build or design a custom LEGO/brick-style display as a gift for my partner.

I've attached a concept render at the bottom of the post showing the style and overall design I'm hoping to achieve. It's an idea/mock-up rather than the final design, but it gives a good indication of the direction I'm looking for.

The display would include:

• ❤️ A large brick-built heart arch behind the couple (similar to the concept image)
• 🪑 A bench inside the heart
• 👨👩 Two custom brick-style figures based on reference photos
• Accurate hairstyles, glasses, clothing and accessories
• ⬛ A black display base
• 🏷️ A nameplate saying "Jack & Maja"

I'm looking for one of two options:

Option 1 (Preferred):
If you're able to physically build custom LEGO displays, I'd love to commission the complete finished model and have it shipped to me.

Option 2:
If you don't build physical models but can design them, I'd be interested in commissioning:

• A BrickLink Studio (.io) file
• XML parts list
• PDF building instructions
• High-quality renders of the finished model

I'd then source the bricks myself and build it.

I'd ideally like the design to use genuine LEGO or LEGO-compatible parts wherever possible, with custom parts only if absolutely necessary.

If you're interested, please comment or send me a DM with:

• Examples of previous builds or MOCs
• Whether you can build it physically, design it digitally, or both
• An estimated price
• Your location (if building it physically)
• An estimated turnaround time

I also have another question...

Does anyone know of any websites, independent designers, or creators who specialise in projects like this?

I've spent quite a while searching websites such as Brickmify and other custom brick figure companies, but they all seem to offer individual figures or standard display bases only. I'm specifically looking for a fully custom scene/diorama with the large heart backdrop, bench, and personalised figures, rather than just two standalone figures.

If you've had something similar made before or know someone who offers this kind of service (Fiverr, Etsy, Rebrickable, Instagram, personal websites, etc.), I'd really appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks in advance! 😊

I totally skewed up by not ordering 910060 when the pre-order was up. Now I’m total fomo. Did anyone buy an extra sushi restaurant they would sell me? Located in the Los Angeles area.

I'm still working on adding about 15k more parts I have but is there anything on my store that needs to be changed? How long did it take you guys to get your first sale after opening and get the ball rolling?

I just finished my first BrickLink Designer Program set, and I have to say, it looks fantastic!

It fits perfectly alongside my Fantasy Medieval Town and complements the Blacksmith's Shop really well. From the pictures I saw online, I initially thought it would be fairly similar to the Blacksmith's Shop... just in green. 😄

But I was pleasantly surprised by how different it actually is. The building techniques, details, and overall structure all feel unique, making it a fun and rewarding build from start to finish.

The only problems I had were that the woman's dress torso was not printed in the front (I am going to get a replacement soon) and that the links for the build up instructions were not working... so I had to watch a YouTube video. The video was great 👍

Overall, it's an amazing set, and I'm really happy I picked it up! Next up, The Sleepy Dragon Inn 👀

Hi, so I've made around 5 orders on Bricklink of Lego torsos for my figures. Every order has had at least one crack on the torso. Is this common for Bricklink or am I getting unlucky?

American here. Is it a good idea to order from other countries as long as they ship to U.S.? I've heard things against it but I'm not sure why, is it just higher shipping prices, or bigger complications?

EDIT: ok apparently its tariffs. damn.

I'm currently building the Sushi Restaurant BDP, and I've noticed I'm ending up with a lot of extra pieces after each bag. Most of them are tiny pieces like 1×1 studs, flowers, and other small parts, but it feels like more than I'm used to getting with other LEGO sets.

Is this normal for BDP? Has anyone else who's built it noticed the same thing? I just wanted to check before I start wondering if I missed something.
