| | 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!

| I think the problem here is that you've got to get three correct answers
all at once,
The first is now all too obvious but it's a complete guess on the other two.
I've made a couple of guesses myself.

the same job, and layering antivirus software is never a good idea.
So my suggestion would be to uninstall Avast but it really is up to you.

"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.

a note to their terms ?
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.

| | 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.

| | 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!
