Hello Patrons :)
Just a quick update on brickhawk.com's performance - which you may have noticed has been a little slow lately - and what's happening to sort it out!
Firstly though, you can rest assured that Hawk alerts are still being sent out the moment a price/offer/availability/etc change is detected, and they are not being impac...

Hello Patrons :)
It's release day! And this one is a direct result of your feedback about wanting more control over alerts.
SUPERHAWKS are great - set one up for a retailer and every now and then you will get a SUPERHAWK Alert that snags you a really decent deal (e.g. Marilyn Munroe Art at 75% off - thanks Target Australia!)

It's release day! Well, it's actually "update-you-on-all-the-little-changes-this-month day"! A number of small changes have made their way out this month - none big enough on their own to warrant a Patreon post, but collectively they all do! Here's a quick (#numbered) rundown of the various releas...

It's time to share something that's been in and out of development and testing for a few weeks now, with some success. I'm really interested to hear from you now, to understand if there is any value in spending more time developing the feature and releasing it, or if there's no val...

A quick update for everyone in the US, UK and Canada. If you're a little over "noisy" Amazon when it comes to Availability alerts, rest assured that it's about to get a little (hopefully a lot) quieter!
Rather than to seemingly alert you every time Amazon sells a LEGO set, for example alert emails with...

It's release day! A couple of weeks ago you had a sneak peak of the new "Hawks" page (the one that lists all of the sets you have Hawks Alerts set for!), and it's now live and ready for you to try out!

Just a quick update, with a sneak peak at something that's coming in the next release.

If you've got a SUPERHAWK on Amazon, or a THEMEHAWK on Architecture, you are probably well and truly over the Hawk Alerts from the last few days... all 100 odd!
Either Amazon are testing a new pricing strategy, or they have a bug, which means that every 30 minutes they drop the price by anywhere between a few cents and a dollar or so. ...

The results from last week's poll are in, and there's a clear winner - you want offer alerts "Only when a new offer is detected, or an existing offer is changed (i.e. ignore '[EMPTY]' offers)".
