Always loved Borage blue colour.
Found in a patch of poor uncultivated soil, iPad doesn’t do them justice.

They taste nice too, a subtle sweet taste. Pinch the stamens and pull. Pop in
a salad or G&T.
|
I confirm they taste very good.
We've just planted some of them in our garden.
|
My Nettles, Field Mustard Leaves, Stems, flowers taste equally nice

Ahhh that's another good argument! One can't plant pizza trees!
But then NubsGPT will provide a picture to demonstrate the contrary

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

| | Hello everyone!
I’ve recently had the idea to sell Minifigure Blind Bags on my store page and
was wondering if it’s a good idea or not? They’d be Custom Items, probably Star
Wars, from my own collection, and be $5-$8. I wanted to gather any feedback and
info on this as I haven’t seen anyone else do this.
Are Blind Bags even allowed to be sold on BrickLink? (As in would it be considered
a potential scam activity?)
Is there any interest on here for anyone to buy them?
Anything info would be appreciated.
Peace!

Well some people all ready have some mystery minifigure.
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=mystery
What you sell in the mystery pack just need to be close ish to the price you
sell them for just to reduce the possibility of a angry costumer

Also price depends if they are minifigures from sets or just randomly thrown
together

I have never specified a box as MISB, not ever. Recently a buyer tried to tell

MISB. 🤦♀️
When buyers begin to assign meanings that were never stated/intended, that's
when it is time to look out for the falling sandbag from above.

I tend not to describe the box at all. That is what the (new, sealed) condition
is for. Unless there is any damage, then I'd note it.
I never really know what people mean by MISB. Do they mean the parts are mint
inside the box, or that the box is mint, or that the box is in a sealed shipping
box?
|
It means mint in sealed box. I think

Yes a sand bag would be very bad especially if it was open. It would get everywhere
and you would have to wash all of your stock. Very bad indeed

You can create your list of parts with optical recognition (at least on parts

Correct, it is 'hidden' in the 'add items' dialogue.
Anyway to have it shown on the menu bar or as a button?

I had heard of it but considering find it. Thanks for helping. Now I should be
able to add parts at twice the speeds that is if I don’t get distracted

Personally I would not even try to sell it, it's so yellowed. I don't
