| | (Apologies, have never used BrickLink before, and don’t know much about Lego.)
Trying to build a transformers set from Kreo which isn’t Lego associated but
all the pieces are compatible and will fit with other Lego pieces. I’m missing
a brick from the set and want to order a replacement but I can’t find a similar
piece in any Lego catalog. The closest item is a Modified 1x2 plate with circular
O grips, I’m looking for a 2x2 plate. I attempted to search for it here but again
found nothing. If anyone could help me find what I’m looking for I’d greatly
appreciate it.
Looking for a 2x2 version of this in black: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=60470b#T=C
This is an example of the piece that I’ve already used to build.

That is either Tyco or a Mega Blok in your photo, that is not Lego.

I will begin by hammering on the backlog of pending inventories later today.
If you have been waiting for these inventories to part out, please have a bit
more patience as I work through these since there are a significant amount to
catch up on.
Cheers,

Awesome, Randy! Welcome back.

When is that according to GMT?
Please add times in GMT at the rest of the world uses - I have no idea what EST
is, not have the majority of the world.

| | Of late I am regularly getting spammed through the wanted list feature for minifigures
listed either under the wrong listing or as an incomplete "new" figure.
With the current system all figures are under the same either "new" or "used"
condition heading, but unlike sets can be listed from a few parts (everything
missing but the torso and head) or complete per the correct inventory of that
figure. This not only opens sellers to "acceptably" list wrong items, or worse
in a deceptive manner (such as the new Loki sh033a in the old Loki sh033), by
simply adding a comment like "missing cape" or "new style cape".
Clearly these are not what a buyer wants to be notified of through their wanted
list settings. Such incomplete or incorrect items also have a negative effect
toward useful sales info, or even current items for sale info. WHish is what
leads to my suggestion....
Please, can we have the same "Complete" and "Incomplete" sub-conditions for
figures like we have for sets?
This will effectively require sellers to list items accurately. If they are
not the exact item they must be listed as "Incomplete" and can then either be
excluded from search and history, or reported for misuse. Figures are a large
part of the value of a set, so if a set can't be listed without a sub-condition,
it would follow that figures (which to many are the most collectable items LEGO
makes) should have the same requirement.
Thanks for considering.

Hi Jonathan, I don't understand why people don't just part the figure
out myself. Listing it without a head, hair or torso? Really? Just part it out
Have a great evening.

Please remove the reference and link to the MSRP price. This is a new feature
that many have questioned. Although I don't think anyone has made a formal
suggestion to remove it.
I do not think this helps sales on BrickLink. On the contrary, as Tracy and others
noted, listing an MSRP that is lower than what the item sells for on BrickLink
could very well be sending buyers elsewhere, turning them off to BrickLink or
discouraging them from ordering such items here on BrickLink.
When I shop for LEGO online or in the real world at Target, TRU, WalMart and
other places, I have never seen any of these retailers list a lower MSRP alongside
their own higher price. Why in the world would they? It might make sense when
their prices are far below the MSRP, but never when prices are higher than the
MSRP.
My apologies, but I just don't see the purpose of listing the MSRP as far
as sales are concerned. It might have some minor passing appeal as a mere historical
reference for long discontinued sets, but how exactly does it help sales when
currently available sets are often priced higher here on BrickLink? Unless the
purpose is to bring down those prices? IMO, any usefulness in listing the MSRP
as a mere reference is greatly outweighed by the potential negative affect on
sales, turning off of buyers, and creating disputes between buyers and sellers
as to why a seller is charging more than the MSRP.
Profit is not a sin. It makes commerce possible. And it makes buyers able to
easily get what they want.
