New Insights Banners, stepped price charts and global RELEASEHAWKS!
Added 2022-07-17 03:00:14 +0000 UTCHello Patrons :)
It's release day! And if you're a Middle, Big or Ultimate Hawk patron, then BrickHawk Insights has just got a whole lot better!
Insight Banners
Part of BrickHawk Insights- Middle Hawk and up
To save you some time BrickHawk Insights is now doing some of the thinking for you! When there is something in the Insights that is significant, an Insights Banner will be added to the Hawk Alert email.
Perhaps it's a new "lowest price ever seen", or a deal on a set that's about to retire - or already retired. BrickHawk Insights is looking for these kinds of things now, and Insight Banners makes sure you don't miss out! Here's some examples:

And...

You'll also get a little "heads up" in the email preview as well - a π£ emoji to let you know there's an extra reason to open up the email!

Stepped 6 month price history chart
Part of BrickHawk Insights- Middle Hawk and up
While Insights was getting some attention, the 6 month price history chart got some love too!
It's now "stepped" - which makes it much easier to read and see the price drops and increases. The values on graph axis have been tidied up a little too, and when there's been no price change for 6 months, it will actually show this (and not a blank graph!
Here's how it looked before the change:

And here's how it looks now:

Global RELEASEHAWKS!
Exclusively available to Big Hawk and Ultimate Hawk patrons only!
This one is finally here - it's been a little while in the making!
If you are a Big Hawk or Ultimate Hawk patron, you can now toggle the "Send me a RELEASEHAWK In any LEGO.com region" on the Account page:

And when a new LEGO set drops, regardless of whether it's in your region or not, you'll get a RELEASEHAWK! This is great for when new releases drop on different dates in different regions, or not in your region at all.
There's some banners to let you know if the RELEASEHAWK is for another region:

And if the region is different to yours it will be mentioned in the email subject. The region has also been added to the details in the RELEASEHAWK:

Global RELEASEHAWKS is toggled off by default, so if you wish to enable this feature, head over to your account page and switch it on now!
Note that if you have both "In my region" and "In any LEGO.com region" toggled on, you will get two RELEASEHAWK emails if a set drops in your regions (and/or other regions).
What else?
Lots of the little things, as always! Including fixing bugs that you have found and reported - which is greatly appreciated! For example, the random double negative RRP price in retailer listings. This was recently reported by a Patron, and a fix was rolled out. Thank you, and keep the reports coming!

There's also been plenty of work done adding new retailers and keeping existing ones up to date:
- Christchurch Brick Shop (NZ) - NEW!
- Target (AU) - Improved Availability detection
- MyHobbies (AU) - Removing non-LEGO products, e.g. display stands)
- The Warehouse (NZ) - fixed Availability detection
Thank you!
A massive thank you for your continued support! It's truly appreciated, and provides so much of the motivation to keep improving BrickHawk and making it the best it can be.
You really, really are the best! Thank you :)
BH.
Comments
Ooops! There was a bug in this release that meant the "Lowest price EVER" was being calculated wrong, and caused some incorrect "Lowest price EVER SEEN!" Insight Banners to be displayed! Apologies for this, it's been resolved now!! BH.
