12/09/2026
Photos of the sets offered by shop owners : Shop owners can now add up to six photos of their own copy: how the pieces are sorted, how they are stored, the condition of the box and of the instructions. They show up with their offer in the Availability tab of a set, and follow you all the way to the cart and the order. So there's more than the price to compare two shops on.
22/08/2026
The community gallery : Photos of built sets, alternate builds, creations of your own: share whatever you like - it all now lives on a dedicated page, filterable by set and by type. Models built from a set's parts appear separately from its own photos, with a link to their instructions.
26/07/2026
No more empty shopfronts : A shop with no product yet no longer appears in the list or on the map: you won't land on an empty shopfront anymore. For owners, your shop becomes visible as soon as your first product goes online.
16/07/2026
Hand-delivery-only products : Shop owners can now mark a product as available for hand delivery only - perfect for bulky or fragile sets that don't travel well. These products are clearly shown as pickup-only on their page.
10/07/2026
Share buttons : We've added share buttons to the product pages for sets, kits, other products, and stores to make it easier for you to share them with your friends and family!
03/07/2026
A site that keeps getting sharper : We're gradually refreshing the interface (colours, typography, cart, set pages…) to make it clearer and more consistent. Got a suggestion or a critique of our choices? Drop us a line - your feedback helps us improve LocaBriques!

XP points and achievements : You can now use your accumulated points to purchase gift cards or coupons valid at the new shops. “Silver” members and above receive restock alerts 24 hours before other users.

Activity map : An interactive map now allows you to visualize current order ! It's here : https://locabriques.fr/activity
27/05/2026
Missing parts : group by set : The inventory counting tool allows logged-in users to list all missing items across their entire inventory. This list can now be sorted by sets.
26/05/2026
Shop spotlight : A recently opened shop is now automatically featured every week on the shops page — a way to help new shops get noticed by visitors.
22/05/2026
"New shop" badge : New shops (no reviews yet and fewer than 3 completed orders) now display a ✦ New shop badge instead of stars, on the shop list, map, and product pages. Be among the first to rate them — the badge disappears automatically once the first review comes in!
Two new options on the shops page : A 'New shops only' filter to highlight newcomers with no reviews yet, and a 'Recently opened' sort to bring them to the top.
12/05/2026
Header and footer refactoring : Header menu and footer have been reorganized for more lisibility and coherence
11/05/2026
Sharing personal photos : You can now share your own photos of your sets or rentals. Share them with the community and earn points!

Order adjustements : Shop owners can now adjust certain order details before accepting them: discount coupon, deposit amount (set to 0 to waive it), and bulk return fee. These adjustments are visible to the renter on the order tracking page and included in the validation notification.
