Oh, and if it’s coral, is it the microscopic animal or its mineral exo-skeletton?
 
|
It's definitely the mineral exoskeleton of coral polyps. I don't see
how it can possibly be seaweed.
|
haven't seen much seaweed before have you? 
|
Actually, I saw quite a bit of both growing up along the south-eastern coast
of Florida. So, yeah, I've seen seaweed, and it is usually a bit more "leafier"
than that part.
|
so only seen seaweed in one general location then ?
|
Nope. I have seen seaweed in other places, also.

we, how about this type of red seaweed which a picture of it is enclosed, now
tell me does that look like the seaweed you know? or? seaweed comes in all shapes
and colors and designs and what not. the leafy stuff is just the most commonly
known stuff.
|
Reread what I wrote. I said seaweed is "usually a bit more 'leafier'".
I didn't say seaweed is *always* a bit more leafier.
The part in question just reminds me a lot of the fire corals and elkhorn corals
I use to snorkel around when I was younger.
Interesting thing though... I just learned that fire corals aren't true corals,
but are hydrocorals. Neat!
|
yeah but several things to consider, 1: LEGO calls this a plant, and whoever
put the description plant thallus would have been more correct in the plant family
since it does appear to display what a thallus would look like, also you have
to take into consideration some of LEGO's examples of tree branches and such
are not what I would call spot on or leafy

When comparing two Darth Vader figures I had, I discovered a mold variance between
two helmets. The "old" type came likey was made from 1999-2014, while The "new"
type appeared in the 2019 20th Anniversary Clone Scout Walker I think
this new mold was created because in order to create the anniversary figure lego
wanted to use a 1 piece Vader helmet, as opposed to the 2 piece helmets they
switched to a couple of years ago. This mold variation deserves a note in the
catalog entry for the helmet,, or a variant added to the catalog, but I'm
not sure which. If someone wants to take the appropriate action from here, please
go ahead. See the attached image for the differences between the two.

think one on right is a chinese knock off.

| | Actually there is no error, the synopsis is based on available data. but that
is just one incident it still brings up the issue that retaliatory feedback cannot
be removed and in that, it can cause more issues down the road. and it also prevents
buyers from leaving honest feedback in fear they will receive retaliatory feedback
in response.
|
|
Wrong again: it was negative, you notice the negative feedback they left for
Sludgemonster?
https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?fdbType=2&p=mjsheller
and it seems this seller is pretty notorious in not being a great seller and
leaving retaliatory feedback too.
|
|
Yes buyer left neutral, but still does not excuse the negative left by the seller.
and the way the rules are written the seller could do nothing about it. since
the rules were very specific on what reasons feedback could be removed. and that
is what I want changed since they are not the only reasons, since retaliatory
feedback has been removed before and so forth. (in fact he has already contacted
the admins about getting the feedback removed)
