In the last month or two I've added many new features and fixes. I'll just mention a few of the new features below.
Fan Photos
You can now upload your own photos of MOCs you have built, or modded. This is a great way to show off what you've built, and provides some great feedback to the MOC designer.
On any MOC's page, click the Fan Photos tab and the Submit Fan Photo button:
Select a photo, add some text if you want and click Save Photo Draft. When ready, click the Submit for Approval button.
When your photo is approved it will be visible to everyone, and the designer of the MOC will be notified via email (assuming they have notifications enabled).
As an example, I have uploaded some photos I took of Nathanaël Kuipers' Predator Supercar. There are also two others already uploaded and approved before I even managed to finish this blog post: DLuders' Fidget Spinner and Sheepo's Mustang.
Part Images
To assist with adding images for all the Parts we are missing, I've added a new page for logged in users: Missing Images. This will show a list of all parts that do not have images that are in your configured LEGO collection.
At this stage, it will only list parts that have no images at all - i.e. no LDraw or LEGO Element images. This will allow the photo to be displayed in inventories when nothing else is available. Later on, I might expand it to more parts once these higher priority ones are taken care of.
The minimum Level for submitting Part Photos has also been reduced to 2 to assist with this effort.
Buy Sets
I've added back the old v2 Buy LEGO Sets page. It is much improved this time around, and while building it I was able to make many improvements to the accuracy of the prices pulled back by the Amazon and eBay product feed processing jobs (they don't make it easy!). It also includes BrickLink and BrickOwl data.
You can use the Buy LEGO Sets page to find the best discounts for LEGO Sets of interest. You can filter by theme/year/store type/etc, or even just the Sets in your Wishlists.
All prices are accurate to within 24 hrs, usually much less. Also shown is the average price for each set, based on known and reliable prices. The historical average price per day is also available via the Set Watch icons on each result.

Ps. We are working on the change requests with parts that need a new category. But most of those parts also need a rename and bricklink link. So it's not going as fast as expected.
