| I'm looking to do a Build a Minifig stand at an event, and I'm looking
to stock up on generic minifig parts to stock it! Hairs/torsos/heads mainly.
If you have a lot of these in your store for

| Fun idea.
Some unsolicited advice; whatever you plan to use for the "name plate",
buy plenty of extras. I see some smudging in that example and I'm sure some
people will want to rewrite it.
Second; have you heard of the Birthday Paradox? It's states that in a group
of 23 people, there is a 50% chance two people will share a birthday, and in
group of 75 that rises to 99.9%. Instead of birthdays, think of it as two people
wanting to make the same minifig. I would post a link but don't want my
wrists slapped. Anyway, point being, rather than just enough for everyone (350),
perhaps buy 450-500 to make sure that the last 175 guests still have options.
Then you can sell the unused stuff to someone here. I'd be interested.
I'd recommend PAB as well as you'll be able to get everything from one
"store" with free shipping. Maybe do 20 of 20 different heads a wide
variety of hair styles, some mustaches than lots of various "dress clothes".
Good luck and please post photos when it's done.

| I would recommend using Lego Pick-A-Brick for this, as you can sort by minifigure
parts & order in high quantities when compared to the average Bricklink store
Normally I'd recommend Bricklink over PAB, but PAB is a much better option
in this case

Very new here. I went to a local Lego store and they said to shop here for what
I need!
!! Hoping you can help me and my finance!!!
We are in the budget planning for our wedding in 2025 and wanted to inquire for
our Lego Guest book!
When we visited during the Adult Halloween night at the Lego location, we had
a blast and when we entered we were able to create a mini version of what we
considered, our lego-selves! we Ithought this would be the best un-traditional
way of having a memorable guest book for us and our guests.
Our guest would build the traditional or silly version of them and their family,
put them on a long/short lego block for the family - Write their names using
a special marker, and then putting themselves on a Lego “poster board”
We sre going to have about 300-350 guest so we are looking for 350 of each BYO
PARTS BELOW, they don’t have to be the same pieces because we love variation
for creativity!
350x head
350x hair/hat/accesories
350x body
350x legs
Attached is a photo of what we ideally it’s going to look like

BrickEnzo was looking to sell a bunch of head, headgear and torsos in bulk a
while back maybe ask them?

| Hi,
I wanted to see if there are any bricklink members in the Fort Worth area that
are selling. I am looking to buy some Star Wars and DC and Marvel figures/weapons
and would like to buy locally.
Please send me a link to your bricklink store if you are local to Fort Worth.

Most of your purchases seem to be from overseas, and it looks like you are in
Utah. Are you using EASYBUY or are you clicking on a wanted list and selecting
BUY ALL? There are thousands of great stores here in the US.

Personally, I don't know why anyone would order from overseas. Too risky.
I'll say it again-There are thousands of great stores here in the US. Including
mine!!!

| | Hi there.
This concerns a NPB , complaint i believe instead of NSS.
By the looks of it and the understanding of what you wrote;
The seller added picking and postal , and after that you did not pay the invoice.
For future overseas and or any purchases where instant checkout is unavailable;
Use a request quote option
Instead of the Invoice.
You could try to be nice, and request a cancel when the invoice is done and you
dislike the outcome..
But request quote is without the obligation.
Have a good one.

This is a problem; excessive postage is a legitimate reason to cancel an order
and should never result in feedback for either party as a transaction didn't
happen. And for postage costs there shouldn't be an option of an NPB. Holding
a buyer hostage because the shipping cost is beyond what they expected is not
a good way to do business. Most people don't understand how to ask for a
quote, many things are not intuitive here.

It's a bit confusing trying to corroborate your words here with feedbacks
left and received. It seems there's a NSS as well as a NPB filing involved?
Anyway, looking at both feedbacks left (plus reply) and your posted concern here...
It seems you're crossing each other in the night, so-to-speak. The "asking
price" was not increased, the invoice total increase due to postage and packaging
charges which is fairly commonplace here. On the other hand the seller apparently
doesn't have these added charges spelled-out within their terms.
Neither fully wrong nor right, and both perhaps too quick with punitive moves.
Remove feedbacks and open comms, would be my advise to you and your vendor. There's
always time and opportunity to reinstate negative feedback and punitive filings.

ignore the hate replies, focus on the members who are actually trying to help
you.
if you do not want to interact or see posts from 'problem members' .
scroll down to the bottom of the page, click on 'Report a Problem, then you
will see a highlighted 'Stop List' option in the paragraph... click on
it
enter users name & put them on your stop list.
this will prevent them from buying from you, & you won't see their replies
that are only intended to demoralize & degrade you.

Presumably this is the transaction with TheDudes123. They have now been suspended.
You will need to file a paypal complaint.
Do yourself a favour and check feedback before buying, that seller had loads
of negative ratings from before you order was placed. And even more since.

Did you file a PayPal claim, or a chargeback with your credit card if you paid
via Stripe? BrickLink can't get your money back for you.

I do not know what you are saying but, you have left feedback for 7 orders, 2
of which were negatives. It seems like your a bit beyond first time user.

First off use spellcheck.
Secondly this reads that you were invoiced for less than you placed the order
for.
If so, was it because of missing pieces? If so, it is extremely bad form to
demand you continue with the purchase. Personally, I know inventory mistakes
happen and have no problem with them unless it was the reason for the order in
the first place.
Also, for your first order, you need to file a PayPal claim on it.

| Hi, How do I set up so I see all prices INCLUDING VAT or SALES TAX. When searching
through the catalogue I would logically pick let´s say the first 5 parts based
on the cheapes only to realyse upon checkout they were shown excluding VAT which
is +20% .. this would actually put them in the middle of the results. Showing
prices without VAT is illegal in Slovakia and I guess it´s illegal all over EU.
How can there be prices shown without VAT mixed with prices that are total? Is
it a problem on BL side? I am in EU as buyer my location is EU I am not a company
nor do I have VAT registration to buy excluding VAT yet I see these prices in
the catalogue. This is very missleading and just costs me time to now open 3
carts with the same products and ONLY AFTER I go to CHECKOUT the VAT is added...
ALL PRICES SHOULD BE INCLUDING TAX. At least for EU. And if you area company
