The 2011 Brickset user survey: Responses from Under 18s

Question:
What ONE thing do you like most about Brickset?

It is a wonderful site with great lists of sets :P

Under 18, United States

You have excellent images and news, however, I would like to see more of them. Your minifigure galleries, especially, are incredibly useful, but they are updated quite rarely, and I go a bit crazy when I don't get news for a couple of days.

Under 18, United States

I l
ove BRICKSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Under 18, United States

I like Brickset for it's news about new sets, most sites i go to don't even have most 2011 sets and Brickset has sets from 2012 already, you guys have good reviews on sets so good that i went and got three new sets this year, Brickset is a awesome site and i would totally recommend this to a friend.

Under 18, United States

i like the shopping part and i like it how you can zoom in on the lego sets

Under 18, Canada

Probably the homepage. Very informative, with links to everything new.

Under 18, United States

There's nearly all LEGO sets of the world !
The site is easy to use, even for strangers (actually, I'm French) and teenagers.
The design is not too sophisticated (a good and a bad point)

Under 18, France

It's easy to use and very comprehensive.

Under 18, Poland

Brickset is great - it's not a traditional forum LUG, however, it's well-designed, informative and living database and news site. The huge database and collection system, and especcially hottest LEGO news makes BS one of the best LEGO sites)

Under 18, Russian Federation

I like the ease of finding information on products and links to sites like eBay and Bricklink to buy stuff.

Under 18, United States

I really like how accurate the news is, it has to be the best site for LEGO news on the internet as far as I'm concerned. Another thing that I like is that the database is really complete and accurate with really good pictures. I also am really glad that there has been a forum added here, that was a great addition. And the minifig galleries, pick of the week, book reviews, and amazon updates are really great as well. There is pretty much nothing wrong with Brickset as far as I can see, it really is one of the best LEGO sites on the internet in my opinion. Thanks for giving us such an awesome site and keep up the great work!

Under 18, United States

I can find a lot of the lego sets that are discontinued.

Under 18, United Arab Emirates

I really appreciate the dedication of all the moderators, especially Huw, who works tirelessly to improve the site. It is great that the moderators also listen to regular Brickset contributors like me. All of the images, set reviews, and the forum are phenomenal.

Under 18, United States

I love the news. The archives are great. I always use brickset in the fact that is always has the news first and the most details on it. Also i think that brickset should have its own exclusive contests.

Under 18, United States

I like that the price is displayed, and the pictures and news are high quality.

Under 18, United States

I lke how I always know the sets before they come out.

Under 18, United Kingdom

Adding you sets and seeing have much you have spent and wrighting reviews. Overall brickset is a brilliant site...

Under 18, United Kingdom

The "My sets" and "Wanted list" options are pretty useful, because I can follow my owned/wanted sets' number of minifigs, number of pieces, value etc..

Under 18, Hungary

I like the site in genral thats about it.

Under 18, Canada

It's a very easy way to keep track of my collection. A great way to find out information about the sets as well. Another great feature is the new section to see the sales on Amazon.

Under 18, United States

The hi-res minifig pictures!!!!!

Under 18, United States

The news here is very good. Although its not always something I am interested in, it is setup very well. The reviews here are also terrific. They are well detailed and opinionative, unlike the Lego.com reviews.

Under 18, United States

Brickset keeps up with the news and new LEGO sets very good I cant go to the fourum so I am unsure about how its doing.Brickset is doing very good.it does have some speed problems but I think its just my internet.BRICKSET IS EXELENT.

Great Pictures of future sets!!

Under 18, United States

The Brickset team is doing a great job at monitoring this site and making it a relevant source of LEGO goodness for people across the Atlantic and beyond to use. I have to say, there are many things I like about this site that make me add it to my favorites bar:

The clean-ness of the site's design; I cannot overstate how crutial this is to the whole site. If a site looks professional, then users are probably going to take it seriously. This site is very well color schemed, and the choice of font is a good representation of its effectivness.

The news, mainly written by HUW, is very fun and interesting to read, with a lot of "unfortunately," "However," "Deals from...," and funny but not innapropriate comments added in the exact manner in which I write for school and journals. It is very interesting to read whatever HUW has to say because he writes with a friendship that lets you know he actually cares about your collection and experiences.

The quality of the photos is, for the most part, exceptional! I now understand why the photos are copyrighted Brickset...if they weren't, then people would use them as stock photos! They are truly works of art, and I encourage HUW to keep that camera flashing and to add more themes onto the minifig browser.

The links to Eurobricks are especially helpful and entertaining. I never would have found the great reviews that influenced what I bought if it weren't for that site. I was considering buying 5764 Creator "Rescue Robot," but after reading the review, decided to spend my money elsewhere, which is how I ended up with the fantastic ADU figure I have. So kudos to those reviews aswell.

Under 18, United States

The three best things about the site are definitely a) The ability to review sets (though some of these reviews are very poor quality), b) The news, and c) the enormous amount of pictures and info for past current and future LEGO building sets and other items.

Under 18, United States

This site is extraordinary. It IS the best site I've ever discovered. I can find EVERY set in there! The reviews are so clear, and thanks to the rating system more and more of them are becoming helpful! The pictures are everywhere, sites are linked, instructions are always available! Brickset is the best place on the web for planning LEGO investments!

Under 18, Italy

I like to review sets and put my opinion out on the web.

Under 18, United States

What I like most is that brickset is a great place to find out about future LEGO sets before they've come out. I always find out from brickset first when new sets are available etc... I check the news on brickset everyday because of this.
I also like how you can find all the instructions you need easily.
I like how people can comment on the news as it clearly shows the general attitude towards the article..

Under 18, United Kingdom

It's really really cool!:)

Under 18, United States

Sharing information of upcoming sets, and where and when to get them at the best prices.

Under 18, United States

You are the most accurate and exhaustive Lego database ever. THAT'S AWESOME!!!

Under 18

I love that It's the easiest place to get the latest buzz on new lego sets. besides news though, I don't do much else on brickset.

Under 18, Canada

I like how you receive news, and post it before it really is discovered!

Under 18, United States

everything

Under 18, New Zealand

I like that it gives us photos of new sets about 2-3 months before they actually come out (like Ninjago)

Under 18, United States

Easy to use, speed of reponse,very "intuitive", and again when we do a research the answer is found very quickly !

Under 18, France

I really enjoy the frontpage where I can find all the latest LEGO news!

bricklists,and new lego sets

Under 18, United States

The fact that you can catalog you're entire collection without having to worry about a set not being included in the database is one of the best parts of the site and the main reason why I use it. The data mining and minifig collection are also nice. Being able to search ebay for buy it nows and auction of sets are nice since they are all on the same page.

Under 18, United States

I love how easy it is to navigate and to find what I am looking for. Please don't change anything.

Under 18, United States

- Just simply keeping a large database of about every set made is one of the most useful things about Brickset, and it is certainly what is best done.

Under 18, United States

Keeping me updated with newest lego sets, news concerning lego events and promotions. The reviews are helpful most of the time and the set ratings are usually accurate. Comments are easy to make and edit and the site is looks quite stylish and well laid out. The moderators and users are helpful on the site and asking a question is easy to do :).

Under 18, Ireland

I am really pleased with the accuracy of news and just how quickly you write about it!

Under 18, United Kingdom

Brickset lists all of the sets even ones not released yet.

Under 18, United States

The site is brilliant for keeping up to date on all the news and I think that is what you do well.

Under 18, Ireland

I like that it has pictures of unreleased sets, and reading reviews is fun.

Under 18, United States

the reviews and news

Under 18, United States

The Brickset Forum is a great forum for Lego collectors. A forum centered on collecting is unique to this site, and very helpful to me personally.

Under 18, United States

News, database of sets and minifigures

Under 18, Israel

It's very informative and useful, while also being respectful of LEGO's terms and requests, such as to not post leaked images. The set database is accurate and very organized, helpful, informative, AMAZING! I like that it is run and maintained by fellow FOL, and the general friendliness of the site. Brickset is a site I visit atleast two to three times a day, and I'm always seeing or learning something new about the LEGOs we all love. It truly is a great site, user-friendly, and very, very useful.

Under 18, United States

I like, that you can see all sets and buy them on ebay! And the news about new sets are good as well!

Under 18, Austria

That it's free and you're good at English.

Under 18, Norway

I like reviews and I like how complete the database is.

Under 18, United States

I like the options to mark what one has and what one would like, because it makes it easier to keep track of which sets one owns.

Under 18, Ireland

The part of the site that I like most is the data-base/reviews being on the same page for each set.

Under 18, United States

It is pretty good

Under 18, United States

I like to be informed long before sets come out so i know when to save money and buy new sets. You notify very early on, in many cases as soon as it is legal.

Under 18, United States

What I like the most about the site is the database. It allows me to keep tracks of the sets I owns and the sets I want. What you guys do well is on the news of Lego stuff.

Under 18, United States

Ease to use, lots of photos, links to bricklink price guide and lots for sale on ebay

Under 18, N/A

The reveiws

Under 18, Australia

I like the news section the best.

Under 18, United States

I really like everything on Brickset. The poeple are friendly and this is a GREAT Database of sets.

Under 18, United States

I personally like the home page the best because I can go straight there to see the news for promotions or new set images. The database, home page and news archive in particular are done well as well as other features of brickset such as bricklists and reviews.

Under 18, United Kingdom

The large amount of sets in the database and the instructions for each one of them.

Under 18, United States

the fact that it shows new sets on the home page

Under 18, United States

I like just about everything that you do, except for some minor review things which are listed below. I marked a 1 for the forum because I haven't really used it, I signed up, I just lost interest after so.

Under 18, United States

Display all the sets (with excellent pictures) and minifigures that have been released and they are easily accessible from either the search option or the browsing option. Also - the uploading of pictures for the sets that haven't been released yet :)

Under 18, United Kingdom

I like that this website is simple to use, but yet still full of interesting information, great pictures and good reviews. It offers the first sign of news straight away, which i think is essential for a good databse. I also think that allowing us to catch a glimpse of futre sets is also a big plus aswell as the "my sets" thing which i find useful

Under 18, United Kingdom

Pictures of sets that haven't been released and the info on sets.

Under 18, United Kingdom

the whole fact that there is a list of nearly every single set evermade. Its a great idea.

Under 18, United Kingdom

Everything

Under 18, United Kingdom

It has a very accurate and complete database.

Under 18, United States

You do well covering all the news, and keeping up to date images.

Under 18, United States

I like that you always have the images for sets way before they come out, and I love how I can inventory my LEGO collection

Under 18, United States

Cataloging almost every LEGO set ever! Great photos too!

Under 18, Australia

THe news and the ACM

Under 18, Germany

Under 18, New Zealand

Under 18, Australia

I have been a member for about 4-5 years now, and I definitely have seen the new features and design improvements over that long period of time. I have to say that I love the site now! I've been visiting the site daily for about 5 years now. I have seen the site grow from a handful of members to one of the largest Lego places in the world. I am very impressed! Keep up the good work Huw!

All the best,

Under 18, United States

You're ALWAYS up to date with the latest sets!

Under 18, United States

What do I like about the site?
Everything, except the things noted below.

What do you do well?
Everything. Running Brickset itself is awesome, But the new features that just got added and the fact that we get new set release news before the general public is fantastic.

Under 18, New Zealand

I have really liked the bargain watch and it helped me get the POTC Black Pearl.

Under 18, United States

I like the new images that you put up although I wish that you would put up from time to time the latest photos.

Under 18, United States

I like the vast amount of Lego sets. I doubt Lego.com has a better one! The sets are updated frequently, as are the comments and news. I never feel neglected or ignored (Unlike Lego.com) The Brickset team actually cares about the users. I appreciate the "No watermarked" set rule. It's a very clean and well run site, no or few glitches. The reviews are usually well written. Its all around an amazing site and I hope it prospers ever more!

Under 18, United States

I like the theme cloud function in the browsing section.

Under 18, United States

Under 18, United States

I love the up to date information and reading set reviews. This site is easy to use and has a very friendly community. Thanks for doing such an amazing job with this site!

Under 18, Canada

How i can see how many pieces of LEGO I own, how much money i have spent on lego, and how it is great to find gift ideas.

Under 18, China

i like how you get pictures of the new sets sooner than enywhere else

Under 18, United States

I like the basics for members: keeping track of sets and being able to review sets. I like getting to read good reviews before I buy sets, and learn about the latest sales and deals. I think the amazon bargain watch is great, and I like the exclusive minifig galleries you've been working on, can't wait for Star Wars to be up and other themes to be updated. I really think a lot of big things have improved the site this year.

Under 18, United States

Brickset is an amazing site. I like how all of the information of Lego is combined into one place. The homepage is great. It gives all of the news and new sets going on worldwide. I especially like all of the info on new sets, and how early the information comes. The database is good too. There are good reviews, pictures, and it's easy to use. I would definitely recommend it to other Lego fans.

Under 18, United States

Brickset is really the best there is when it comes to organizing and keeping track of your Lego collection. It's various features and easy to understand layout are a huge plus in addition to the fact that it is one of the few places that records every Lego set released.

Under 18, Guatemala

Hm.....what do I like most? Probably the news when it applies to me and being able to easily have my lego collection, for lack of better word, displayed on the site. Its cool having all my lego sets 'on' the website. You do everything well. Everything is such good quality, the news seems so...friendly, and the site is just so trustworthy. I get on this site literally everyday to check for news and such.

I like the news mostly. I like knowing what is going on and what sets are coming out. I like news about sales and such.

Under 18, United States

Dispite not looking the most exciting website. I love brickset's ease of use, which is taken for granted these days. Good search and browsing abilities, and The New Forum seems good considering how new it is. Also loving the new Amazon deals pages.

Under 18, New Zealand

The part that I like most is the fact that the site is simple and easy to use.

Under 18, United States

The want and own checks. They are very useful to see our collection and the sets we want.

Under 18, United States

I love how easy it is to add and remove sets from the Sets I Want and Sets I Own lists. It's also very easy to see the most helpful and complete reviews. It's helped me buy the right sets on what little allowance I have many times.

Under 18, United States

I like the up-to-date content and easy navigation.

Under 18, United States

It runs very smoothly and you don't have to go to a new page just for a basic picture.

Under 18, United States

A clean format, useful tools, and high quality data is all nice.

Under 18, United States

it is organised very well, and usually the pictures are very well done.

Under 18, Cameroon

I like the info about new sets long before they are announced. I believe everything is done [and run] very well on Brickset, it is hard to name any other non-corporate (I mean lego, nick, etc.), that is even HALF as good as Brickset.

I am not lying or exaggerating. :)

Under 18, United States

everything

Under 18, United States

Brickset is an excellent site for finding out more about sets - it has links to pictures, reviews, parts lists, news, and more.

Under 18, United States

I love that I can find any LEGO set I want in just a few seconds!!!!! Thanks Huw!!!!!

Under 18, United States

Under 18, United Kingdom

what i really like about brickset is huw(witch i have marked as a friend)

Under 18, United States

There are numerous aspects of the site which I enjoy. It is extremely simple to navigate and easy to find the information I am looking for. The moderators are always friendly and do their jobs well. The new forum is fantastic, has a wide variety of information, and is easily accessible. the majority of the information is usually up to date, however, there are a few discrepancies which seem as if they are slowly being weeded out. The new review filter system is great and hides the majority of the poor reviews. Overall, I have been very satisfied.

One of the features I really enjoyed was the minifigure galleries. Most likely my favorite addition this year! I am excited to hear that new galleries will be added and that the existing ones will be updated.

Under 18, United States

the lego database and bric lists are cool!

Under 18, Canada

I think this website is set up very well. It is easy to track the products I own, search items, and interact with other LEGO fans. I visit it everyday, it's a really, really well done site. It looks nice, it's full of great people, and its the best source of LEGO news I can find.

Under 18, United States

EVERYTHING.

Under 18, United States

I find this the perfect resource for my LEGO habit :) The news page is always kept up to date and is made a lot easier to read than on other LEGO based news sites. Despite being 1 year off the minimum age to actually partake in the forum, I still go there more than twice a day to check up on all the extra things you guys are talking about!
In fact, I enjoy Brickset so much that it has stayed my internet home page for the past 2 years :)

Under 18, United Kingdom

I love the new minifig gallerys Huw made.

Under 18, United States

Ease of looking around. Updated reguarly. large amount of reviews and different opinions.
