Bricklink and LEGO.com Account Merge

[Plumber]

So the endless repeated login requirement seems to have gone away (for me at least) so I thought progress was being made but....

I use Brickstore to manage my collection and for the first time since the merger I fired it up to import some recent purchases made through BL in August, finding it non functional and doing a bit of googling it now it seems TLG have f..k.d up the ability of Brickstore and many other third party apps to link with BL - way to go!!!

Even more incredibly Studio too.  Not news to many of you, I'm sure, but its left me sitting here gobsmacked.

Its a small thing in the scheme of things for me, its a hobby and I can go elsewhere to enable it but I really feel for those of you who run(ran?) stores on BL.

TLG say go boil, your head, the workaround is to export XML and then use that in capable  third party apps, trouble is that feature is only available to sellers which I'm not.

So TLG, you've taken years of hard work and dedication by huge numbers of individuals who have evolved a highly sophisticated, integrated, robust software environment and those who contributed content, one that supports your business and you smashed it to pieces in one bout of corporate greed.

Dan Jezek must be spinning in his grave  

TLG are either mind numbingly stupid, lazy or as many feared are doing this deliberately. Given TLG recent behaviour to likes of HA Bricks and the deliberate dog in a manger scuttling of the Modulex relaunch amongst others, I'm inclined to see it as deliberate!

Even if the former is the case I'm sure corporate pomposity and pride will stop them rolling back the changes and with no meaningful communication from them.....

Yep, exactly @The Reader!  I've contacted LEGO CS twice about my email being unretrievable (that's the error I keep getting) - both times they've just said just be patient, they're working on it and to keep trying to log in. Personally, if it's not fixed by Oct 1, I'm don't know what I'm gonna do. Luckily, my brother was able to get into his account and order me stuff for the train show happening in two weeks I'm displaying at. But that was a one-time deal, so it won't be happening again, and I have other things I need to get done...

Ok, so my LEGO account apparently had no email associated with it in my profile, which is strange in of itself. Now that I've got that straightened out, BL still won't work, and now just trying logs me out of LEGO .com too! What the HECK is going on!?! I messaged CS again, we will see what they say!

According to some Modulex fan sites, a year or so back the rights to Modulex which was hived off by TLG years back were purchased and there was a project to relaunch Modulex architectural bricks. TLG didn't want that so they bought out the relaunching organisation and canned the project.  We obviously will never know the internal family politics but from the outside it doesn't look good.
