Hello Lego community!

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

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.

Hi, I'm new to Bricklink, my frist order turned out to be a NSS whatever
thst is. I have uet to get my money back. Now, I've just received a compliant
from a seller for not proceeding with an order which they changed after saying
in am email theyd honour an invoice they sent to me for less then they were asking.
No, now thank you Bricklink. Not cool. I wish to make a complaint to Bricklink
for these experiences.These rules and obligstions are not clear enough for first
time users of bricklink.

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
you will just get the tax cut at the checkout not the opposite way around.

My Son is wanting just £5 of items, but it's short of the minimum amount
required. Can you just pay for less and pay postage than buying £15-£20 of stuff
he doesn't need.

looking forward to any guidance you can provide.

thank you

I incorrectly shipped a BAM rerelease torso to a customer instead of the CMF
torso that was listed. An honest mistake and one that I apologized for repeatedly
and immediately refunded the buyer as soon as they pointed out the error. Now
they have opened a NSS case against me and are demanding that I ship them the
correct torso even though we do not have it in stock and have already refunded
them. What do I do here?

The buyer already attempted to negotiate the price of an element they already
received but failed to mention anything about the price of the element when they
made the purchase, only doing so just before receiving the refund for the missing
part. Buyer is also asking for a refund of $10 for the parts they felt were over
priced vs the market on top of sending them the correct torso they were already
refunded for.

Buyer has a 20+ year history on BrickLink and from reviewing their feedback,
they have the propensity, IMO, to leave negative feedback.

NOTE: Avg BL price is ~$3-5 USD, element in this color was released once as part
of a CMF, I have already adjusted the price down for the rest of the community,
I didn't realize it was over avg. Had the buyer approached this differently,
I most certainly would have too.

This is an ongoing NSS

Thank you for any input you may have on this, especially if AITA. I'm a one
Dad show working out of our family basement fulltime. If I'm the problem,
I want to correct myself.

Hello!
I realized every single lot in an order summary is marked with a * and
sometimes with a !
I'd like to know what those symbols refer to, and if they are related to
the condition of the item I'm buying,thanks!

How long on average does it take for bricklink stores to have the missing pieces
you need?
My wanted list got 60% fulfilled in one day
How long on average does someone have to wait for the whole wanted list to fulfill?
Thank you

I have filed a couple of complaints over the last 2 years that I filed with Bricklink
after trying to resolve the situation with the sellers over numerous weeks.
One issue was they shipped bootleg minifig parts and we even submitted clear
pictures of what was shipped. The second order with a different buyer, they
shipped minifigs with the wrong colored parts. I've lost a total of $65
over these two orders - both of which were gifts for my son. There's no
buyer support and no protection from scammers. This last guy had 12 complaints
in the last year for the same issues and Bricklink is doing NOTHING about it.
The guy is a jerk and I'm out the money. Anyone else having this trouble?

Hello!
I'm looking for someone in Canada that is willing to give me a hand! There
is a store in Canada that I would like to purchase from, but they do not have
their store set up to ship to the USA, and aren't great about responding
to messages. I'm looking for someone who is willing to buy on my behalf,
and make a couple bucks doing so

Thanks in advance!

There was a particular item I was uncertain whether I had actually bought or
not recently and I went to check my orders (I new who I would have bought it
from if I did buy it) to see if I could find it. I was looking through my feedback
and found the feedback left by the person I would have bought it from but the
order was no longer accessible. I copied the order number but what I want to
know is is there any way to view the order?

Thanks!

Never seen this issue before:

Cart has a message of
"Item Do Not Fit in the Package"
it says max weight 34oz, however weights are not listed in cart detail to be
able to decide what I can remove and still want to place an order.

If this option is chosen for shipping, then the weight in cart should be automatically
on.

Hello!
I uploaded from Stud.io to brinklink to purchase all my Legos for a project but
neglected to save what was not available - so basically I do not know which Legos
I am missing. Is there a way to go back and see what I am missing?
Thanks so much!

Hi, could someone help please as it is my first time ordering. I ordered and
paid for some parts to complete a set but since I completed the order it has
been cancelled by the seller. Comment on message informing me says feedback
is required to order? I tried to message seller to ask but it says I am on their
stop list.

Can someone give me a good reason not to leave bad feedback, is this the seller
or the system which has failed me? Should I be able to order just a few parts
and pay the postage?

TIA

sell and just haven't gotten to listing it yet? I am in the market for one
at a reasonable price and would prefer to buy from the U.S. of A.. Thanks very
much in advance!

P.S. By the by, if you have either of these with it:
