Searching for items purchased at lego.com/[email protected]

Hi all,

Couldnt find a way of doing it on Lego site, but, is there a way of searching my orders for sets I may or may not have ordered, without having to go into each order? which then after going back, keeps taking me to the first page again and taking me forever? Ive not been updating my own spreadsheet or Brickset and now dont know what I have or am missing and been buying the wrong things Doh

Ta,

No but you can search the emails they send.

I suppose in a roundabout way you could add sets to your wanted list after ordering them? Then you have a definitive list of what you've ordered outside of the confirmation emails and notifications?

Or just keep up with adding them to Brickset :)

The site is a bit of a pain when it comes to past orders, the only reliable way I have found is searching emails as others have said.

Never thought of email checking, thank you :)

I keep track of all purchases in three formats, one here on Brickset, one in a Microsoft Word Document and a third with pencil and paper in a Notebook, this way as soon as I get a new set I have three areas to search to make sure I don't buy doubles. I have never purchased so much in one go that I forget what I've bought, what I want or what I need, but then again there are folks with more $$$ than me, so that makes sense somebody might have that problem.

Dont get me wrong, I dont have $$$, i just got carried away a little while ago, put some sets in the loft, still in the packing boxes (away from the Mrs) and kinda got lost. I didnt put them on Brickset, as I didnt open them. I went to move some stuff the other day and found stuff i didnt know I ordered. Im stopping now anyway, its got out of hand. I have a want list, but, thats older retired stuff or, things that may be upcoming. Think Im sticking to themes now, not mixing.

One should always admit to a problem if they start squirreling away purchases to avoid the little woman's wrath. And if you're finding stuff you had forgotten you ordered... that sounds like a bit of a problem honestly.

I mean no disrespect, just an observation.

Well, I never!

You're right, it is/was. And I have/am addressing that. I have less brown boxes delivered every month as it did get out of hand

Well, unless it's intended for an Easter Sunday mystery hunt I highly doubt finding purchases you forgot about hidden somewhere is a good thing... I mean what if you put it somewhere you completely forgot about and it winds up in the trash or given away for charity still packed away with the bill/invoice and information of a personal nature. Not exactly a good thing, hence why I can not contain myself and must open everything I purchase from LEGO immediately if not sooner. ;)

If you hang out here long enough, you will eventually discover the mysterious ways of the @SumoLego :)

Blasphemy!

There's no mystery.  I trade indiscriminately, make stupid comments, share what little knowledge I have about our favorite company, and I like to call out nonsensical B.S.  And one of my favorite pastimes is closely examining photos and making observations.
