To all BrickPicker members and guests... As my brother, Jeff, stated earlier, we are a new and rapidly improving site about Lego 'investing' and collecting. If you feel there is anything we need to change or add, please feel free to message us. It is a work in progress and new ideas are always welcome. Feel free to ask us any questions about the site or various Lego sets/values. There are over 8400 Lego sets in our database and sometimes mistakes happen. If you have any questions or opinions about various Lego sets, displays, or minifigures, let us know. We will help in any way we can. Thanks... Ed Mack

I have a question. Would it be possible to either make it where people could create more than one brickfolio or divide their brickfolio up? Here is the reason why... I have a lot of sets from the early 80s that I played with as a kid. They are open and none of them are put together. I still have the boxes and instructions, so I know what I have. I would like to add them to a brickfolio to see which sets would be most profitable to possibly sell as used sets, but I don't want to cloud up my current brickfolio that I use for new sets I plan to leave sealed and turn for a profit within the next few years. I hope that makes sense.

Is there a new Brickvesting Blog article in the works? :)

Well you can always create a second account if this is something you want to do right this second. We will look into this option when I get back to working on the next round of enhancements to the Brickfolio. There are a few other things that need to be done first before I can really get to this, so it will be a bit.

There is always content in the works. Ed is juggling a few articles right now. We are quite busy.

Thanks! :)

Is there a new Brickvesting Blog article in the works?

Yes, I have four articles that I have to look over and tweak...Two from Darth Lego and one each from Comicblast and Veegs. All articles have been put on hold until we finish up the new site feature. They will be released shortly.

They will be released shortly. Gotta love the articles!! Especially looking forward to Darth Lego's since he is a teen like me! On a more serious note, how about a little site tutorial. I know that for the first month or so, I thought that the only thing that you could do was enter stuff into your Brickfolio, so for the first month I had ZERO comments (shocking, I know!). Probably just would hit the main points like the Forum, Lego Reviews, BrickVesting Articles, and Brickfolio. Just a thought...

I really only started posting a month ago... though you probably wish I hadn't... :)

How about letting us be able to bold, italicize, and underline in reviews. I don't think that we need to be able to do all that quoting, font size, and color. Just at thought. That one would be fairly simple. The reason why I brought it up was because I prefer not to put words in all CAPS because it makes it harder to read.

EDIT: I have one more thing to add...I know that this has already been said...multiple times, but here it is: Update BrickPicker data more often because waiting for it is like waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve. Except you don't know when Christmas Eve is, and its 12 times a year. ;)

I am working on the articles now and have a good idea on how I want to package the "Young Guns" articles together.

Are you talking about waiting for your brickpoints from reviews to be added?

Definitely bring some of the old men on this site to perspective. JK. :)

Simple suggestion: being able to sort the brickfolio's items by price or performance? This way each user would get a sense of the "rank" of goods within a portfolio from a performance or market price standpoint. Once the number of sets starts piling up it would be nice to be able to see that rank Cheers

I dont know if this has been said before but i often buy lots on ebay with multiple different sets so i dont know how to log them with how much each cost maybe you can make a way in the brickfolio to add lots and how much the lot cost and what sets were in it and how many of each set

New question. Do you really get about 500 new members a week? I know that there are only about 100 or so people active on the forums, so it doesn't really make sense to me.

Since minifigures without the sets are also a huge part of Lego investing, is there a way you could make review section for just the minifigs? You could give five brickpoints to each approved minifigure review of 300-500 or so characters. I'm saying this because I'm a minifigure, not a set specialist.

There will be some sorting features in later versions.

Brickfolio is not meant to be used for lots. You need to separate them out. How you estimate the individual value of a set from a lot is up to you.

Brickset has 50,000+ members and maybe 200 or 300 post consistently. Many people lurk.

No way to classify them without proper names or numbers.

Yep this is very true. For example I'm a member on Brickset, but I only post there maybe once every 2-3 months, if that.

Ok. I just though that there could be a set up like Bricklink (however inefficient it may be) for narrowing down the search to theme/movie or name.

Rich is right. I visit Brickset all the time, but rarely post. It was the same even before we built this site. There is also a big tech community called StackOverflow. I am on that site probably 5 times a day but have never answered or posted a question, mostly because I find that someone already has posted or answered a question there. My point is, everyone uses websites the way they want. Some people come here, check out the deals we post a few times a day. Others work in the Brickfolio, others look at photos. Everyone is not a social butterfly. But from time to time, a member that has been a member for months my find a topic they would like to jump into and provide their insight. There are a lot of users the cruise the forums to read what's going on and that fills their needs.

I have just found that there are only about 100 users who are active on the forums daily, and that it didn't seem to work with the numbers of new users coming in weekly. Why wouldn't you want to be on the forums!?!?! :D

I am really curious why is there not visible statistics of ALL registered members count... I mean there are so many less important statistics up there
