Many of us here still look at Fahrenheit temperatures, much more impressive talking
about temps of 100 degrees or more.

It's very odd here with units, I know we are odd anyway, we still use a mixture
of both.

I'm of a generation that has lived through the change over, I don't have
much trouble switching from one to the other, this includes our currency that
changed from units of 12 to 10.

We've never truly made a complete switch.

I'm comfortable either way except with degrees Celsius. When my Canadian
friends talk about "it was so hot today, 30 degrees" I just can't wrap my
head around it.

When I perform a search, say on Millennium Falcon sets, and then click on a set,
the weight and dimensions of the set are in Metric units. I live in the USA,
and have lived in Europe. So, metric is pretty easy for me to convert in my head.
But, for the people on the planet that use the Imperial system, and haven’t had
to use grams, millimeters, etc., metric is just a bunch of gobbley-gook that
required the extra step of converting somehow..

Feature Suggestion: Add a setting in the settings menu that allows the display
of Imperial units instead of metric units.

p.s. May the flees of a thousand camels come to rest in the armpits of all those
who comment with: “Everyone should just convert to metric!”

Re: Marbled versions of earliest baseplate bb0340

Submitted one version under not applicable but can't offer a different colour
under the same not applicable option.

Both images are marbled but quite different main colours.

One is marbled Green, I have a second version of this as each plate is different.

Another is on a block , Dark Orange/Medium brown and marbled.

Thought I'd ask if there is any point trying to add images of these to the
catalogue or does the marbling and the block rule them out ?

If there are missing images, submit them and we'll take a look.

Re: What color is this gray?

Colors

If you find any 2 x 4's in that shade of grey, let me know.

In a large box of loose LEGO, I came across several light gray pieces that I
can't identify the color of. They are from set 41154 and the only gray listed
in the inventory is LBG. The pieces in question are the 1x1 bricks as well as
the 1x2x5 bricks. For reference, the arch, 1x4, and 2x4 are light bluish gray.
The liftarm is very light bluish gray.

I know there is a variance in the light bluish gray, but this is a pretty dramatic
shade difference. And they ALL have the same shade, every 1x1 and 1x2x5. They
are LEGO pieces as I checked the studs and the logo is present.

Any ideas? Or have I overlooked something simple?

Re: what color is the 1x4 brick

Colors

You can find early bricks without Lego logo on the studs but not often seen these
days, most have slots but not all.

The long side fill gate was used on a few odd moulds, usually test moulds I believe.

I have seen clone brands with the colour shown by OP.

If LEGO is not on the studs, then it is not a LEGO. I have never seen a part
that you cannot read LEGO on the studs. I have parts from bulk lots severely
worn, bitten, scratched up, and have never seen a part that you can't read
the logo on the studs.

As stated in other posts, the fact that the fill gate is on the long side of
the part is another sure sign that this is not LEGO.

I got an 1x4 brick but i cannot find the satisfying color in the catalog. I would
say it is either medium brown or dark nougat both do not exist in the catalog
can someone help with identifying the color

the other colors on the picture are reddish brown (left crate) medium nougat
(right crate) and dark orange (slope)

Is there a list somewhere of items involved ?

Missed it if there is, this could be interesting.

This is not a big deal for me personally as I am not currently selling here,
so I can plan it when I want.. but... really?!

The catalog changes are scheduled for April 1. That's only 2 weeks away.
I noticed that this is a DRAMATIC catalog update that will throw the entire store
upside down. Definitely won't be able to take my entire 1.2 million parts
store apart and piece it back together just casually within these next two weeks
between sorting orders. Especially moving all the wedges will be be fun puzzle.

Not gonna object against any changes, they seem alright to me. Except that there's
one change clearly missing from that list: Moving the 2x2 corner brick to Brick,
Modified.. (since plate and tile are there)

I hope this really was THE update everyone was waiting for, and now we're
satisfied..

One of my uncles was at a garage/estate sale some 20 years ago and found 2 "sealed"
of the attached samsonite LEGO sets. I say sealed because they are just closed
ends with nothing that really seals them. I did open to verify their contents
as gently as I could. Are these considered sale-able LEGO sets here? The set
number is listed as 216 for white bricks in various sizes. Its dimensions are
approximately 3in x 4in x 1in.
