| | So I have questions for all of the sellers here. Firstly I am not a seller here
but have sold online for a very long time, other products, other sites.
Here are my questions:
1 - Do you feel/think sellers should thoroughly clean and sanitize their used
bricks before selling?
I ask this because I haven't bought a ton here yet but I have now received
three shipments that I would consider filthy and I needed to clean. Quite disgusting
when they stink or have visible grime on them.
2 - Would you ever send a shipment of pieces to a buyer built into a large
flat brick?
I ask this because I had just received a shipment and all 400+ pieces were attached
into large bricks. This then took me around two hours to disassemble to see if
everything I ordered was actually there. In my opinion, this method of shipping
isn't acceptable.
Thanks for the feedback and opinions in advance.

| | Ok, so I was wondering if theres a collectors desire for manufacture error parts.
I know that prints on the wrong colour pieces are deffo desirable but what I
currently have are parts that the plastic either didn't quite fill up the
whole mould or seem to have been melted(?) during the manufacturing process.
Any thoughts or are they just trash?

. Normally I receive 1 a day / few days . I appreciate I haven’t got a lot of
stock so this amount of orders is fine . But I just find it incredibly strange
I have had nothing . Therefore would someone please just try to buy something
from me and obviously cancel at the end point . I just want to make sure nothing
is screwed up along the way ..
Obviously if you accidentally buy I will refund asap .
Sorry to ask but not sure how I can check myself.
Thanks

| | Greetings BrickLink catalog enthusiasts!
You will be pleased to learn that we have just today appointed a new Catalog
Associate - Randyf. Randy has served as an Inventories Administrator for the
last couple years and has done a fantastic job. We feel this promotion, though
it has been long in coming, is very well deserved.
As a reminder to those who are still learning about the BrickLink Community Expert
Program, the Catalog Associate position gives admin privileges over the entire
catalog half of our BrickLink system. After one year's experience, Catalog
Associates are eligible for promotion to full Catalog Admin, which gives them
full privileges on both sides, for both catalog and inventories.
https://www.bricklink.com/memberAdmins.asp
We plan to update the Hall of Fame page very soon. There are several things to
add, including Randy's time serving as Inventory Admin.
Please welcome our new associate!

| | 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!”

In Colors, gunga writes:
| | 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?

| 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.

| | 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..

A huge thank you from me for all that you, Hygrotus, have done and posted over

| | Dear BrickLink members,
On Friday we heard from Hygrotus, currently our longest serving catalog admin,
that he was relinquishing his position. This is for sure a setback for our team,
as he was an unequalled expert in many areas and was exceptionally diligent and
careful in his work.
We will certainly miss him, and we wish him the best for the future. You can
read his BrickLink story here:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1249971
The CEP admin page is not updated yet with this new information. We hope to finish
that by the end of the week.
As part of the regular course of building the Community Expert catalog admin
program, we were planning to add another admin to the team this Spring (Apr/May).
That continues to be our plan.
