This part:

 
Part No: Mx1011Apb13  Name: Modulex, Tile 1 x 1 with Black 'M' / 'W' Pattern (no internal lining)
* 
Mx1011Apb13 Modulex, Tile 1 x 1 with Black 'M' / 'W' Pattern (no internal lining)
Parts: Modulex, Tile, Decorated {Mx White}

is listed as either "M" / "W", but in my opinion this is only
the "M"

This part:

 
Part No: Mx1011Cpb13  Name: Modulex, Tile 1 x 1 with Black 'M' / 'W' Pattern (with black lining on top and sides)
* 
Mx1011Cpb13 Modulex, Tile 1 x 1 with Black 'M' / 'W' Pattern (with black lining on top and sides)
Parts: Modulex, Tile, Decorated {Mx White}

is also listed as either "M" / "W", but in my opinion this is
only the "W"

These are not the same, the "M" has a full length middle leg, while the
"W" does not go full length.

One could make an argument for the other way around, but I think the first entry
is an "M" only, and the second a "W" only.

I have 17 of these, all 12 that I would call "M" have no internal lining,
and all the "W" do.

In addition, if someone likes /wants to upload items to the catalog, I will happily
send them ~20 Modulex bricks, currently not in the catalog, for free (US only,
other countries will get them free too, but you'll have to pay postage).
You get the keep the bricks of course. I can also send an "M" and a "W".

While I am focussing on still collecting several themes, I have decided to not
hold on to the Modulex collection. These where very fun to build with and collect,
but now it is time for a new owner...

I have uploaded 48749 pieces, divided over 459 lots. For many of these lots.
I am the only one currently that has that particular element/color combination
for sale, so some are very rare, and for the majority of the lots, I'm the
only seller outside of Europe. I'm holding on to a very few for myself, like
1 copy of each module minifig, and some 2 x 4's for my 2x4 collection. Even
if you're not a Modulex collector/builder, everyone should have a few of
these cute bricks......

I found an additional 20 or so lots that are not yet in the catalog (mainly decorated
tiles), I hope to get around to upload them, along with come corrections for
already listed items.

For each order that contains Modulex bricks, I'll throw in a few extra Modulex
pieces (after sorting all I found another cup or so, and time has run out on
this upload, so I'll give those away over time).

Paul

ps. If anyone is interested in the entire collection, I'll give a hefty discount
(more than 50%), and will throw in a few $100 in very nice storage containers.

I've added 300 more lots for sale. Vast majority is 50% or more off, up to
80%.
I've included some polybags, sets, and also 1000's of mini figures, including
wanted themes like SW and Collectible Minifigures, and hard to find ones (where
there are very few lots available).

Currently well over 300 lots in my store on discount, including some sets and
polybags. Most sale lots are 50% discounted, a few are a bit less discounted,
and a few are as much as 80% off. Most lots have high quantities, so further
discounts are available if you buy 10 or more, or even further discounts for
100 or more. Over the next days, more lots will be added to the sale.

I have many copies (a few cases) of a writing system pen I am not able to find
in the catalog.
The case is the pencase01, listed as form the year 2000. Form pen to pen, the
beads are the same for each pen, but not all applied in the same order.
Any info would be appreciated.

I'm trying to calculate the approximate value of a specific (sub-)collection.
Other than looking up every single item and looking for price, is there another
method (or if anyone has calculated any of the below, I'll happily take that
info, may even send you something for the effort). Specifically interested to
know the approximate value of any of the following (in excellent but used condition):

1) all collectible minifigs (so series 1-21 as well as all others (Marvel, Simpsons,
Team BG, etc, collection is 1 copy of each unique figure).

2) all castle figures (1 copy of each castle figure, ~515 minifigs)

3) all SW figures (1 copy of each SW figure, ~1230 minifigs)

4) all train sets, including accessories and track, ~260 sets

5) all castle sets, ~211 sets

I'm not a database wizard, but some of you may know or have done such a calculation.

Other than a LEGO collector, I also collect Dutch postage stamps. Since I now
live in the US (I was born in the Netherlands), trading Dutch stamps is not easy
over here. I would be willing to trade LEGO for stamps, or vice versa. So, I'd
take payment in stamps I'm interested in for LEGO orders in my store, or
I'd buy LEGO in your store, and pay with stamps. Any of the Dutch members
(or non Dutch members the collect Dutch stamps) interested? I'm 99.99% sure
I have some stamps that you're looking for...

Since BL deleted my incomplete set (I listed it as incomplete, but still got
deleted...), here a sales post, as custom items are hard to locate.

For sale, middle car only of the classic metroliner 4558. All original bricks,
100% complete with interior, all original bricks.
I have a total of 4 cars for sale (look under "custom items" in my store, or
search in my store for 4558 or metroliner. Great to expand on an existing set.

Similar to the "minifigs must be complete in order to list under minifig listing",
this should be extended to animals as well.

An elephant without ears should be listed as a custom item or broken down.
Likewise, a basilisk without teeth is not a basilisk, but a custom assembly of
part.

(discuss?)

I suggest the system does not allow ANY FB to be left by buyer or seller once
a NSS or NPB is filed. Only once the NSS or NPB is completed, or after 1 month,
whatever comes first, FB can be left.

This will prevent a buyer from leaving a retaliatory FB after filing of NPB while
it is still pending, or a seller from retaliating with a neg FB once NSS is filed.
All existing rules regarding FB remain in place.
