| | Contest Prize is the classic Star Wars minifigure from 2004
New, never assembled
I let germinate the seed of something I’ve enjoyed my entire life without ever
having considered it’s seed. Thanks to this year’s slow-to-start spring here
in Washington, I’ve taken to growing a few things indoors, including this
guy…
The contest is a three-part question: 1) The plant’s latin name? 2) Time in days,
it took to successfully germinate the seed before placing into soil? 3) The number
of days it took to grow into what you currently see, using only the weak ambient
(window) sunlight we have at this latitude? No grow-light use so far.
That’s three bits of information to enter with each posted entry.
Contest rules are simple:
~ One post per day per member, otherwise no limit to the number of entry-days.
~ Entry must be made as a reply to this contest post.
~ All three questions must be made in a single post.
~ First to correctly answer to all three questions in a single post, wins!
We’ll cover the shipping cost domestically (free shipping) All members are welcome
to participate though, if you can offer a US shipping address should you win.
For non US based members, any address within the US will do: a friend, family
member or fellow BL member is fine.
The contest moderator will be the all powerful, all knowing and all around good
guy known as Johan (jbroman) of Big Boy’s Bricks 
I’ll soon send Johan the winning answers, he’ll determine and announce the winner.
Please direct any questions Johan's way, our contest moderator: https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=jbroman
Not all seeds germinate. If interested in how I aided this seed to do so,
feel free to contact me via pm, after the contest has concluded
Have fun!

Checked online but didn't help much as I can't find anything similar.

In the picture I have Light Yellow at the top, and Bright (plain) Yellow at the

It such a slight difference from the light yellow...

"Bright light yellow" and "light yellow" are two different colors; the pieces
you have circled look to be bright light yellow according to the chart you have.
The pieces you aren't sure of look to be just light yellow.

I do but when I'm buying I like to check that the seller has at least two
variations listed, if they exist, so that I'm sure they separate them, just
a thought.

I recently ordered 6 x
But I believe I received 6 x
However I've never seen an original 48729 part before and I couldn't
find a side-by-side comparison picture so I'd like to be sure before asking
for a reship/refund.
Please find attached the picture of the parts I received, half of them are flipped
but they all look the same on both sides. They were listed as New which tells
me there's a good chance they are 48729b but I'd prefer having a second
opinion.
Thanks in advance!

48729b has a hole on one side, 48729 does not. So you received 48729b.

| | 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!”

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.

As stated in other posts, the fact that the fill gate is on the long side of

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
