PARTHAWKS is out of BETA! Plus other updates.

It's release day! And this one is mainly about Parts and PARTHAWKS!, with a few other things along the way.
Parts/PARTHAWKS
PARTHAWKS! launched back in 2020 with the "BETA" label attached to it, and whilst some notable improvements like part images and rebrickable information was added, it's stayed much the same...
...until now! The "BETA" tag is gone, and Parts just got a whole lot easier to use! First up, there's a new sorting, searching and filtering panel. This was requested often (mostly by Ultimate Hawk patrons who were close to their PARTHAWKS! limit!) and makes it easier to find and maintain your PARTHAWKS!:
You can sort your PARTHAWKS! by price, date added or element ID. You can filter by category, subcategory and hide parts that are out of stock. And you can search by part name, element ID and category. Plus - with BrickHawk Insights (Middle Hawk and up) - you can also search by rebrickable part names and categories which are often much more descriptive than the official part names.
However, perhaps the best new thing about Parts - and how it really lost the "BETA" label - is the new "PARTHAWKS! only" filter:
Toggle this filter off, and you will see ALL of the parts BrickHawk has seen across Pick-a-Brick and Bricks and Pieces - that's over 12,000 parts in most regions! From there, you can still sort, filter and search, and now you can easily click the big + button to add a PARTHAWK!
The rebrickable data is also searchable against all of the parts too, so if you're Middle Hawk or up, it's even easier to find the parts you need! For example, comparing a Pick-a-Brick part search to a BrickHawk part search:
... vs ...
Bricks and Pieces
A final note on Parts - as Bricks and Pieces is closing down, BrickHawk will now stop sending PARTHAWK! alerts for parts from this service.
Add Hawk button
To reduce the number of steps you need to take in order to add a new Hawk for a LEGO set, there's now a new Add Hawk button at the top of the page for each and every set (if you've not already added a Hawk, that is!):
Clicking the Add Hawk button will switch on Hawk Alerts, and also load up the Alerts tab so you can adjust the Hawk settings as you need.
More retailers!
The following retailers are now available in BrickHawk:
- The Iconic (Australia)
- Fenwick (UK)
- Very (UK)
- John Lewis (UK)
Better search box layout (some small screens, e.g. iPad)
The search box for searching LEGO sets was a bit wonky on smaller screens, but it's looking much better now:
Thank you!
That's a wrap for this update - if you have any feedback on this release, please don't hesitate to comment below, or email info@brickhawk.com. Your feedback, suggestions, ideas, bug reports and every other message you send are all greatly appreciated!
And as always, thank you so much for your continued support. It's awesome, and you really are the best :)
