| | Hi all,
I was just wondering what the deal is with adding a new set to the catalog.
After visiting a Lego certified store today I received the 40450 Amelia Earhart
tribute set, which will be available from February 22 until stocks last. As far
as I can tell, this set has not been submitted to the catalog and no pending
details are available.
Can I add this set to the catalog?
Thanks,
Steve

What is the piece used in the propeller? I haven't seen that before.

| | Everything is just so backwards, I am not a tax expert by a long shot but let's
just look at this from a logic perspective:
If it was legally valid to write "Bricklink order" on your invoice, then the
EU and the UK would have had an emergency meeting by now because they realised
that almost all of the international trade is being labelled "Bricklink order"
It can't work like that. So yeah, EITHER Bricklink is the seller and WE sell
to Bricklink - thus a US export, export to US rules apply - OR we sell to the
customer in their country AND that country's rules apply.
From the persective of the seller, these are simply the only two ways. As a seller
you need to have invoices that mention the country, and then apply the rules
for THAT country. There is only "United States" or "United Kingdom". There's
simply no such thing as "United Kingdom-but-it's-a-Bricklink-order-and-Bricklink-said-it's-fine"
Or am I too pessimstic about the amount of patience tax agencies have when doing
audits and people come up with stories about platform selling (without hard evidence)?

Read the link below, this is not something new. The UK already started in 2016
with quote: "special provisions for online marketplaces".
http://kluwertaxblog.com/2020/02/26/online-marketplaces-and-eu-vat-global-reach-but-compliance-still-local/
These changes to come have been known for 4 years up until Jan 1, 2021.
The OMP is liable. Not just for VAT, but also for the transaction to the buyer.
A BrickLink Order has become a transaction between 3 parties: the buyer, the
(overseas) seller, and BrickLink is now involed too.
All this because governments/countries want to VAT low valued transactions because
of the high volume and thus high 'income' there is to gain by taxing.
|
So, what does the seller's invoice look like?
|
Like this:
|
I was referring to the invoice that the seller makes... you cannot make an invoice
with the buying party located in the UK but without applying the UK rules...
The buyer needs to be Bricklink if Bricklink takes care of the VAT, so the buying
party should not be the name + address of your buyer, but Briclink Ltd in California..
If you're making invoices for clients in the UK while letting Bricklink take
care of VAT, you're going to be in trouble.. if Bricklink does not provide
its tax ID, the authorities have absolutely no way of checking whether any particular
one of your transactions was indeed done correctly..

I understand that the first person who submits the picture receives the credit
for the picture, so this might be a sensitive area.
Today I scanned
with my Instabrick. With very minor modifications the result is the attached
picture.
Personally I think this is a better picture than the one currently in the catalog.
What do you think?

How true is the color of the tie in your photo?

Hi Russell, I'm pleasantly surprised by a quick reply from you!
The color of the tie in the standard BL catalog picture with 60x80 pixels is
indeed more pearl gold then the yellow in my example picture.
But my question s not about every true color in any given picture.
(Every photographer thinks his/her picture is the best...) I understand.
However it comes down to this: does the picture give a good representation of
the minifig? The original picture for this minifig is at maximum 181 x 271 pixels.
So when you click on the + sign next to the 60x80 pixel picture what you get
is 181x271. I downsized the picture in my previous post to exactly the same height
271 pixels.
When I use the max BL standard of 800x600 pixels you get this.
Now you can see the tie is actually not the same color as the yellow in the hands.

Annoying: Both the large black "base" and the white roof came loose in the box
so the roof looks more used than new. Maybe I should complain to customer service...
|
The first thing that I would complain about is the fact that they made that set
in the first place.

| One of the reasons I would want to keep this set is the really intriguing story
behind Amelia Earhart.
Of course in Star Trek Voyager we saw what happened to her but nowadays it still
is a mystery.
