Maybe I’m losing my touch. But it shouldn’t have taken a half hour of trying repeatedly. And surely, I’m not the least savvy of their users… others will probably also be frustrated.

They wanted my BL username, not my BL email that I have used to log in to BL for years.

Related is the attached gem of a screenshot, which I encountered after solving the above….

I try to log into Bricklink, it forces me to enter my LEGO.com info. Then it asks “do you have a Bricklink account?” I’m like “yeah” and enter that info. Then it tells me wrong password. Even after I just now reset my password for BL using their very own “reset password” link.

That said, from my understanding of that combination of signs, you should be good today.

Moving a baby grand is no joke… LEGO versions (depending on scale) are way easier. Just don’t drop them in a snowy parking lot like Doug’s castle, circa January 2014…
