Fair collection.

Worried it was a link to a dodgy website when I read the title.

I have several carts and I am unable to checkout. Someone can help me ?
Thanks.

It's a global problem it appears, the midday update seemed to not help anything,
hence why admin hasn't commented as most likely they have no fix currently.
We are all in the same boat.

The Vasa?

The Vasa ? I don't understand. Sorry

  So I was using Bricklink to sell off spare LEGO to make a little money on the
side but am going back to work soon so won't have time for it.

Have just finished a full stock take so all quantities are checked and verified
plus all prices have been adjusted to current lowest in UK in most cases.

There are about 90k parts with about 98% new condition and the used ones are
all what others would list as 'new'

I am wanting to sell the whole store including stock and the presence here on
bricklink so the buyer can consolidate stores and get the 2k+ feedback boost
from merging stores.

This is a viable store on its own and you can see from my current feedback that
it's taking lots of orders so you could buy it as a starter store or to add
to an existing store you have.

There has been a lot of time put in to organising and updating inventory so I
think a quick sale at 1/3 current store inventory value is a fair deal. and
i will include stock, store and storage (large wilko drawer units) plus a ton
of new gripseal baggies.

I've put a fraction as the price rather than a number as that will change
as orders are taken and fulfilled.

Any serious interested parties please get in touch as I'm asking other people
direct about this and don't see it taking long to shift at almost 70% off

thanks

It's correct, you cannot pass on feedback when a store is sold, you are only
selling stores stock, nothing else.

Hope you find a buyer.



In Selling, Sheffbricks writes:
  Thanks MrPetovan.

I looked and couldn't find anything stating it wasn't allowed and the
topic on merging accounts talks of merging feedback so I read that as it is possible.

Is there a way to tag an admin in this ye olde style forum to get a ruling on
it as searching doesn't yield much fruit?

If it is against the rules, and I can be shown this in black and white, then
I'm more than happy to just sell the store stock on here and then close down
the account afterwards.

thanks
Dita




In Selling, MrPetovan writes:
  I don't think you can sell your account with the associated feedback.

You can still sell your whole inventory as a custom item for a fixed price or
on the forum if you're open to negotiations, but the feedbacks are yours
and yours only, I believe.

So my suggestion would be to uninstall Avast but it really is up to you.

Please read Lead planters as subject.

I have two matching planters :

10" x 11.5" x 23"

  Just thought I'd ask here if anyone has any experience in : buying, selling

These are extremely heavy and not sure I'll need them in Cornwall, hoping
to find someone who buys or deals in more than Lego.

Also have a large vintage farmhouse table that I might part with too, all would
be collection only.

I've really no idea what to ask for them and I'll probably have to sell
via eBay if I can't find a buyer myself, might advertise at work if I can
value them.

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

I know it's unlikely that anyone can help but worth a try.

Thanks for any help.

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.

  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!”

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.

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?

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.


In Colors, roguemjr writes:
  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..

Not sure what I'd do with them.

When there are so few I can see why some things are bunched together or if they
can be used to represent different items.

Don't know the category myself, I'll take a look.

Sad news indeed.

A huge thank you from me for all that you, Hygrotus, have done and posted over
the years, you will certainly be missed regarding your contributions.

Hope to still see you on the forum.




In Catalog, Admin_Russell writes:
  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.

A large number of sellers offering pearl light grey although it's not listed
in sets, not all of them will have listed them incorrectly.

Many items exist in colours not found in sets.

  Can someone confirm that this part comes only in flat silver... NOT Pearl Light
Gray? The parts we have look like pearl, not flat silver?

  Hello,

I need some help. I have 3 heads that I can find in the blocked open stud, but
I can't find the equivalent in the Hollow Stud. They are:

I'm going to correct myself here, there was more than one company doing copies,
one being bygg selv once thought to be a possible Lego piece and given the name
of x bricks or x clones until the real name was discovered.

I have a number of the Lego and Puwi versions which I might be able to find tomorrow.

I'll post images if I do dig them out which might help you decide.

Look for the position and size of the tabs on the edges, many get damaged but
easier to see position for comparison to catalogue images when viewed from rear.

Puwi also produced similar windows and doors as Lego's in the later slotted
series not just the flat.

Just sold one of those, looks nothing like its colour classification.

I have another which has been mentioned here before.

x1180 looks nothing like 4740 in the same colour, trans neon Orange.

  Hope this post is in the right place.
It's bugged me a while now that the Bionicle eye stalk piece that is included
in 8534, 8540 and 8572 is listed as trans dark pink despite the face that it's
more of a neon red-magenta color. As far as I know there are no other pieces
in this color, so I understand that it would probably be a waste of time to create
a new color just for one piece, but it may cause confusion for some that the
listed color is not actually the color in which the piece comes.

What do you think? Should another, perhaps unique or special color brick level

I know it’s far from an important consideration now, but it is a fun one

Maybe someone can arrange some type of choice-of-color polling or vote, to see
what the next level color brick should be?

I've seen differences in these over the years, both colour and appearance.

Some have looked more transparent than others.

Looking at the flower stems, they seem to be a bit different in form (maybe out
of an earlier mold?) and also in color, which is a bit transish. The left one
on my pic.
Anyone noticed or maybe a color error?

How is it possible that new white parts are not really white any more?
I have part out some brand new sets (straight from the box) some months ago and
I sold some white parts. Now I get the question from the buyer that the parts
are not really white. I have stored the parts in a drawer where there is no sunlight.
How is it possible that the parts are not really white any more? is it a factory
mistake or is it the dark drawer ore what else.
Can any body help me what the problem is.

We're considering eliminating separate catalog entries for smooth slopes

I am in the middle of getting pieces that I am missing from my Lego sets I have

I need are 4 grey pieces and 1 brown. The ones I got from the Lego Store are
not the right color of grey or brown. The grey medium stone grey and brown reddish
brown.

The sets I need the pieces for are from the 90's. On toysperiod.com they
say the pieces that I need are old grey and old brown. As I look through the
stores on this site I'm not sure which color name they fit under. If anyone
can help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

Does it classify as '3011old'?

You can add it to your listing, there are a few collectors, but not enough to
warrant a seperate 3011old listing.
And if you want to do it right, you also need to list the logo inside the studs


Cheers,
Maxx

I agree with Maxx. There is no structural difference about this brick, besides
the notification of 'pat pend'. Which makes it not a candidate for a
seperate Catalog entry. We've tried that ourselves years ago.. many years
ago

But yes there are some 'pat pend' collectors, and also, if you want to
complete a set from that time period it is always nice to have bricks from that
period too!

Cheers2,
Arnoud

Thanks guys, they caught my eye with the radically different slotted connection
tubes, that's what prompted me to at least ask!
