Who says that faded pieces aren't worth keeping, they also sell when they
look like this.

Is that actually Lego? The moulding looks awful and there are no logos on the
pips (that I can see from that image).

Studs. Not pips! D'oh!

Thank you, should prove interesting, look forward to future postings.

  Dear BrickLink members,

Please find the minutes from the first Marketplace Panel meeting.


Minutes from the first Marketplace Panel meeting May 20th. 2021



Agenda

- Panel member introductions

- Marketplace panel program presentation

- Workshop

- BrickLink vision

- Marketplace plan 2021 & Prioritization discussion

- Next steps



Ad. 1 Panel member introductions

We have selected the initial panel members based on criteria such as: Having
both buyers and sellers represented, BrickLink experience, ability to engage
in constructive dialogues about the future of BrickLink and ability to consider
the greater good for the BrickLink sellers and buyers.

The initial panel members are:

Constructibles, SimplyBricks, Dcarmine, Calsbricks, Erkiles, Legoman77, Faro,
BrickCoast

During this first part, all panel members introduced themselves and it is clear
that this is a diverse, multitalented group that are all passionate about BrickLink.

No doubt that this select group will be a fantastic first Marketplace panel.



Ad 2. Marketplace panel program presentation

The structure of the program had been shared with the panel ahead of the meeting,
so in this session, we mainly dug into the basics of the program and collaboration
principles:

4 annual meetings with an opportunity to impact the future development of the
BrickLink Marketplace

Between the meetings we will collaborate through a Teams channel, making it possible
for us to engage outside the meetings as well.

We aim to increase the number of members in the panel to a max of 14 people throughout
the next 1-2 years.

We will invite new members to the Panel annually, to ensure fresh perspectives
by shifting 50% of the panel members with new members meeting above criteria.
We will be promoting the opportunity to sign up for the panel in Q1 2022.

In our collaboration, we will be looking to the future as opposed to the past.

We will be mindful of one another in the dialogues we have, remembering that
we are all in this with the best of intentions.



This panel is focused on the Marketplace specifically. There will be other initiatives
similar to this one, that focus on e.g. Studio, The Catalog, etc.



Ad 3. Workshop

This being the first Panel meeting, we felt a need to make sure we got the frustrations
out of every one’s system, in order to be able to focus on the future of BrickLink,
as opposed to being stuck in the past. This was done in a workshop where everyone
was able to share frustrations but also the things, they love about BrickLink.



Ad 4. BrickLink vision

Marvin Park shared thoughts related to the vision and mission of BrickLink as
a platform through which LEGO fans can also realize their dream designs. As for
the long-term roadmap, it was highlighted how BrickLink marketplace and Studio
can evolve to meet diverse needs of the AFOL community and become an integral
part of the entire LEGO ecosystem.



Ad 5. Marketplace plan 2021 & Prioritization discussion

BrickLink’s new Senior Product Manager Stephen Wilhelm presented the current
Marketplace roadmap. This roadmap is now mainly focused on development related
to VAT compliance rules (initiatives that we are bound to by law and that we
are not able to de-prioritize) and initiatives intended to support e.g., the
ability to lower response rate for new seller verifications, etc. There are several
user experience related initiatives the BrickLink Marketplace team plans to work
on, but we are looking to the Marketplace Panel members to help us prioritize
what enhancements would provide the most value.

Aside from above, several focus areas that we have picked up based on input from
the BrickLink members in general were presented with the intention to prioritize
them. We were not able to finish the prioritization discussions completely at
this meeting, but a couple of things were highlighted as being critical to prioritize:

Seller tools (e.g., Inventory management, store management, seller page updates)

Continue modernization of the BrickLink platform. This is already ongoing, but
we aim to apply more resources later this year.

A few less critical but still impactful areas were introduced:

Telephone support and the ability to have expert engagers to reach out to

Order Item Refund Request (OIRR) & Refund enhancement

Rewriting storefront pages to support mobile / native.

Provide BrickLink shipping methods (preferably one shipping cost per customer)

Overhaul/update payment processes

The above list varies greatly in level of complexity, and we will need to take
all input in to consideration in upcoming plans. Status on above and long-term
plans will be shared in minutes from the next Panel meeting.

A few other things we will be looking in to due to the input from the panel:

Ability for Sellers to make use of BrickLink’s access to Google Analytics.

On-site payment and why some sellers choose not to use this option.

Shipping price calculations based on zones instead of weight (US specific)



Ad 6. Next steps

It was decided to disclose the BrickLink panel members to the general BrickLink
membership base, this is not to be seen as an invitation to reach out to the
panel members directly with input for the Panel
, but a way to be transparent
about who is in the panel as per the request of many members. Any ill manor
targeted directly at the Panel members may result in abandonment from BrickLink.



We need everyone’s input!

We have recently taken input from all BrickLink members in the survey, and we
take input regularly in the NPS survey, this input has already played a huge
part in shaping the focus for BrickLink in general and will be part of shaping
the future of BrickLink also.

During the upcoming Panel meetings, we might come across items to prioritize
that are not straight forward, in terms of defining what is best for the majority
of BrickLink members, in these cases, we will have a poll among the members in
general in order to ensure solid facts to back the decisions.



Upcoming meetings

The next meetings are planned for August and November.



Reflections

No doubt that we are blessed to have members on BrickLink that are prepared to
spend hours in their busy lives, participating in dialogue to make sure that
we have the best outside-in perspective we can when deciding how to prioritize
our efforts on BrickLink going forward. This is not something we have been able
to prioritize to the same extent in the past (hence numerous understandable frustrations),
but it is something that we are committed to prioritizing going forward!

BrickLink members, you can be proud of your Panel members, they did an amazing
job in representing you. Everyone spoke freely about critical issues to be addressed,
this is highly appreciated because then we won't have to waste time (mis)interpreting
this and we can get moving on the things that matter.

We hope that you will read this and share any feedback you might have, in this
topic or directly to ce_tanja. We have just started this journey and we are happy
to take your input to the process and adjust along the way.



Thank you!

The BrickLink Team

Looking for views on collectable minifigures.

I have a large number of these, estimated at 1000+ in new condition, plus others
in used.

These are from nearly all series so far including series 1 unopened and opened
Team GB.

Just accumulating them at present.

Too many to check individually on the sales info, certainly at the moment for
me due to relocation.

Do these still sell well ?

May start listing some when I reopen in 2022.

Alternatively, you could stoplist every single buyer in the UK.

Oh, interesting experiment.  Maybe there’s a limit in the size of a stoplist?

Sad to see yet another exclude UK buyers.

Nevertheless, best of luck with your shop.

There are differing views on this but I always wait until I believe the buyer
is happy with the order, most probably post after shipping, some like myself
choose to wait.

So do you tend to leave feedback after the buyer has left feedback? So far I've
always left feedback as soon as I have shipped the order.

  If you get no response on status or feedback at all, you just have to accept
it and let it go.

  Hi all,
I'm sure this has probably happened to most sellers so any advice is appreciated.
A little over a week ago I sent an order to a new Bricklink user, their first
ever order was at my store and they haven't placed one since. However since
I sent the order they haven't updated the status to complete, although it
should have arrived by now. As a seller I can update the order status to complete
myself, although I feel that this is wrong.

Is it common for buyers (especially new buyers) to never update the order status,
or take extra long to do so? If so is there anything I can do to prompt them
other than message them? I have messaged this buyer but he hasn't gotten
back to me for a few days.

It's not a massive problem, it just annoys me a little as it looks untidy
with the rest of my completed orders lol.

Also I had another buyer (also new to Bricklink) who updated the status to complete
but never left feedback. Again is this a common occurrence?

Many thanks, and enjoy your evening, Stan.

Having struggled to cope with long distance house hunting, now made an offer,
selling a property, under offer , crazy work conditions, caring, running a BL
store and changing jobs it's now evident that something has to give.

I've decided that my store will remain closed indefinitely, almost certainly
until 2022, anything outstanding will be shipped and one order on hold will be
invoiced and shipped when requested by buyer.

If I understand correctly, I have to be active in my store from time to time
to prevent my listings from being deleted, please advise if this is correct and/or
whatever else I need to do.

I'll still be active on the forum and may still purchase anything of interest
that may turn up.

Hope to add large number of items when I reopen.

Packing unlisted stock into moving boxes, can't believe how many I've
used and nowhere near finished.

Here's to a more settled 2022 and finally a less stressful job, cheers everyone.

Stuart

Nah!
Much better as is.


In Suggestions, E.Leslie writes:
  I imagine I'm not the only one to be aware of this grammar mistake. When
searching a store's inventory, there's a drop-down menu that says "All
Filters." Once it's been expanded, it can be minimized by clicking "Less
Filters."

Properly, in English grammar, when there is a countable noun, we do not use the
quantitative adjective "less". That's flat-out wrong. We must say "fewer".

We can say "less milk," but not "less cookies." We must say "fewer cookies."

So here, English grammar demands that we say "Fewer Filters."

I do think that correcting this error will enhance the site's professionalism.

I organise my stock by colour, sub divided by categories for used, soon to do
the same with new, works for me.

Only manually add used stock and odd new items, most new by auto part out, reuse
larger boxes for shipping but I buy new large letter boxes in two sizes.

Had to add minimum order value due to far too many low value orders that I was
losing money on.

I add everything, who knows what might bring a buyer to my store.







In Help, cycbuild writes:
  What is your BrickLink rule of thumb to organizing inventory and pulling orders?

I've heard that sorting by parts not color is a good one. Another is cutting/taping
your own boxes to save on shipping. And a lot of pros and cons to setting a minimum
price/lots. My sub-query would be; are there any slow sellers that you
leave in the odd parts bin, or push to the end of the queue (of listing parts)?
Lastly, is BrickStock worth it or is Rebrickable a nice alternative?

Thanks,
cycbuild

Possibly, oddities do turn up, often test pieces.

Orders are always slow coming when you have the level of stock that you currently
have.

You will find that larger quantities of specific items and a greater range will
help, it does take time.

Not checked your prices as you don't currently ship to U.K. which doesn't
surprise me as you need to be comfortable supplying your home market first.

I found that when my stock reached certain counts the orders came much more readily.

Best of luck.

Fair collection.

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

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.

  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.

  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.

Minifig No: sw0110  Name: Greedo

Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6
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.

Now I have to wonder, how many buyers are getting this, and avoiding placing

Please read Lead planters as subject.

I have two matching planters :

10" x 11.5" x 23"




In Off Topic, Stuart9 writes:
  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.

Not all sellers separate parts with variations like these, might they have added
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.

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.

I would be tempted to buy a few if I could get them here at that price.

They are sprues, items are attached to these and removed when used.

  Hi everyone.

I'm sorting a load of classic Lego and have about a dozen of these pieces
in red, yellow, blue and black.

My camera is crap so the colour is washed out, but they are identical to Lego
yellow, blue etc.

I can't see a Lego logo or part number.

Has anyone seen them before?

A number of stores have an odd one or two for sale but no-one has added a photo
so far.

Can't tell if they match yours.

but it's

I haven't seen before on this type of connector. Does anyone recognize this

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!

Same here, if I'm not interested in a post, I skip reading the thread.
Many do the same with mine, not everyone is interested in the same things, don't
quit the forum.

Very common to find these with the gold worn off.

  I went through my collection of figures and came across a red torso of which

have that gold layer over the planet.

Was it common for the gold to wear off on these sort of figures, or is this torso
from something else with a similar torso print?

1. Yes

2. No






In Selling, Skullfyre writes:
  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?

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.

  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!

Thanks for the input, unlikely that anyone would be interested but I need to
sell them somewhere, worth a try especially if I can exchange for something I
can sell in my shop..

Suspect I'll have to advertise in a few places, not really happy using eBay.

I'm talking about a vintage/antique farmhouse table with drawers ( not sure

All these are heavy and or sizeable, exchange only in U.K. and would have to
be collected.

Effectively the Lego would be sold to me and I pay with these goods rather than
currency.

If it is then anyone interested can contact me and we can try to work something
out, if it isn't then please ignore this message.

So long as one side is a purchase from a store, I think it is allowed. You can
pay in any currency accepted and agreed by a seller, and if they accept furniture
then go for it.

It's been a crazy 12 months for me and the next 12 months look similar.

I've packed all my unlisted Lego as I'm hoping to move in the next few
months.

Just a heads up for anyone thinking of ordering from me in the near future, things
may change quickly.

I'm looking to rent to begin with which may prevent me from reopening until
I find a new home, the store may be closed for a long time.

Thank you to all my customers and thanks for all those that have sold me items
so far, also thanks to all those here on the forum that have kept me informed,
entertained etc, even if we don't always agree.

Here's to a new, even brighter future and if all goes well a bigger more
organised store.

Agree with everything already posted, however you may find these old versions
often don't fit together too well even though they are classed as new.



In Problem, song52xs writes:
  Hi I purchased some white Bricks, Round Corner 2 x 2 Macaroni with Stud Notch
(#Item No: 3063). The condition is new. But when I received the order, the bricks
seems old, a bit yellowish and low quality. Also on the back inside the brick,
showing some words: PAT PEND. The LEGO Marking on the stud is also different.
I asked the seller, the seller told me the piece are new never used.

So are these pieces fake or too old?

Or these seems not item 3063 but is 3063a (Years Released: 1955 - 1956)?

Check my attached pics, left one is the one I just purchased, right one is a
new piece for compare.

Thanks.

I believe you've done the right thing now, how you run your shop and how
you use the forum in future will show how heartfelt your apology is, best of
luck in the future.



In Announce, mkmbricks writes:
  Hello everyone,

We realize that we made a mistake. Truly, we apologize to everyone, especially
to those that would like to retain the integrity of the friendly place these
forums are, and rather than adding to it, we took away from the ambient. We behaved
to confidently, and as we saw, we too had many mistakes. We wrote our message
to add to the community, to warn our fellow buyers and sellers, but in doing
so we took-away. We'd like to apologize for the use of duplicate accounts
- we honestly did not know that we couldn't have multiple accounts, we give
our word on that.

We are a "we". We are several people. We came across Bricklink and decided that
we could cooperate to manage one store, just as we would in real life. But, each
of us also had older accounts on Bricklink that we wanted to use solely for "shopping"
and making wanted lists. This account was designated as a seller's account.

However, we admit that we have committed trouble, and now we understand why there
shouldn't be multiple accounts. Although it did not cross our minds to commit
more treasonous things with these duplicate accounts, no one should be able to
do any of that, so we thank, in some way, that this happened.

As to those that gave us feedback on our store policies and responsibilities,
thank you. We have implemented some already, and we have removed the "All sales
final" and No refunds.

Once again, we are sorry for taking away, for we thought we were contributing
- we believe that we came off the wrong way in our message, and further so when
we, out of anger and impulse, decided to defend ourselves. We promise to do good
by everyone as so our capabilities permit us to do so, and perhaps we will listen
and ask more rather than talk and point.

Everyone, we understand that this apology may not be acceptable to many of you,
but we have no excuses. We made a mistake. We want to make up for it.

Thank you,
MKM Bricks

Oh well, seems I'm not showing up in searches or I've sold anything of
interest.

Hardly any visitors and no orders for four days, slowest I've been in a long
time, just one of those things I suppose.

At least I'm getting a little free time to pack for moving.

Or am I not alone n this ?

Currently 70%

However I feel that the number of buyers not responding is increasing, I don't
have any real evidence though.





In Feedback, MrPetovan writes:
  I have received 16 orders so far, and got 9 feedbacks out of them. Is this ratio

What's your ratio if you don't mind indirectly sharing the number of

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

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!”

Means absolutely nothing.

Sometimes you are least favourite because you don't sell the type of Lego
someone wants or you are in a country that they don't want to buy from or
many other reasons that don't necessarily reflect on you or your store.

You can be ignored for posting something someone disagrees with, you may post
too often or as above, many other reasons, nothing to be worried about.

You are the only one, other than the person that listed you this way that can
see this info, however you won't normally find out who it is.

  Hi,
was just looking through my BL activity and saw that 1 member is "ignoring me"
(no idea who it is)
Also- next to where it says about the 4 members who pressed "favourite" for my
store, there is a 1 next to it- does this mean a member who disliked my store?

It's just a bit annoying really, I haven't done anything wrong- and will
this affect anything in the future?

Thanks

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.

  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.

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..

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.

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.

Looks like it comes in both.

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.

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.

have glass which I belive they shouldn't have.

I've attached four images that show some of the parts in the lot.

Are there any experts in here that are able to judge if the parts appear to be
genuine LEGO parts?

What should I look for when checking reverse side (I don't have any images
currently).

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.

  Hello

I'm looking into buying a lot of old doors and windows for slotted bricks.
A few of the parts are clearly
 
Part No: cwindow01  Name: Window 1 x 6 x 4 Panorama, with Glass for Slotted Bricks
* 
cwindow01 Window 1 x 6 x 4 Panorama, with Glass for Slotted Bricks
Parts: Classic
because I can see the LEGO logo
in the glass. But the others I'm unsure about. Especially one door (image#1)
has one side without pattern and a hole through it, and three red windows (image#2)
have glass which I belive they shouldn't have.

I've attached four images that show some of the parts in the lot.

Are there any experts in here that are able to judge if the parts appear to be
genuine LEGO parts?

Had some sawn off ones once but they would probably be listed under mini figure
weapons.

  Hello,
I was checking the 853-1 instrunction and I noticed that on the front seat image
there was an 1x5 brick!
So I think there is a mistake in this image.
Has anyone noticed that?

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.

It has to be marbled for me, not that I'll ever get there.

What do you think? Should another, perhaps unique or special color brick level
be set-up, for these rarefied members to attain? https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=54

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?

Thanks for help

Seriously thinking of avoiding selling white in future, seeing colour changes
fairly quickly for some new pieces.

  I need some help about discolored white new parts.

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.

I would love to see an inventory for x1447c01 in the catalog, but I don't
have the parts to add them.

And we also need a catalog entry for the Duplo pull cart with string and brick.
