I would use the Banner field, too: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/display.page
It's far more visible on all product pages of your store, and difficult to
miss or ignore. The Announcement field text, on the other hand, is small
on the page periphery and can be dismissed or collapsed.

You could contact Brickmania and see if they want to buy a large portion of the
store. They're the biggest buyer of parts on the site and only go for new
lots.

I’d start by setting the selloff price as the minimum buy and reopening the store:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/management.page
Using any or all of these fields, Slogan ~ Announcement ~ Banner to convey
your intention with the high minimum: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/display.page
Opening your store places your inventory back onto the market, giving you more
exposure, allowing 24/7 perusal of your inventory and greatly increasing your
ability to cultivate prospective buyers.
In the meantime, you’ll no doubt generate offers to consider with your inventory
exposed with selloff caveats. Don’t drop your pricing, until you have structured
a deal. At which point, close your store and set it up, transacting with
a close store and password.
Just one of several ways of doing it, Joe.

| You can create a custom item with your entire store at a fixed price if you aren’t
interested in negotiating the price. As I understand them, a super lot wouldn’t
help since anyone wanting to buy a single item from your store would automatically
be on the hook for US $75,000 worth of merchandise 😅
You are better off with what you just did, a forum post advertising the sale
from where people can reach out to you privately if they are interested.

The custom printed one wins hands down… but then, isn’t printing cheating?
Now, the bad review on the big one: even knowing it’s supposed to be a giant
penny, I can’t see it. Starting with fact it’s not round. Then the brown shape
in the middle doesn’t look like anything recognizable, even squinting my eyes,
certainly not a face. Without indication, I’d have said “Maybe a beer pad?”
If you want to try again, don’t make so small a mosaic, it looks like Braille

But on so small a build, maybe simply use a real minifig head (with beard and

Well, LEGO colour IDs are incremental. The last (publicly known) colour was
365, so that the new ones are 366 and 367 is not surprising.
And it will only go on this way, so if LDraw wants to follow LEGO IDs, and as,
IMHO, doing one big change would be better than having to move one colour at
a time, LDraw will have to clear the numbers at least up to 400 if not 1000.
Otherwise, there’s the path used for LEGO-351: LDRaw-10351. So adding the new
ones as 10366 and 10367. But then, there’s LDraw-10378, so there’ll be another
problem in a few years….

I could be wrong, but I don't think TLG has been cracking down on anyone
in regards to quality; it just seems that any Seller that attempts to sell unusable
items can only do so for so long before it's reflected in their feedback,
and people quit taking the risk anymore...
Though a quick glance at some of your recent feedback shows a great group of
Sellers, so there's no doubt in my mind that you have been dealing with the
"simply stellar" ones.

| I haven't bought from BrickLink before the acquisition from TLG, so my perspective
is different, but I would be less ecstatic than you about the quality of the
parts in the 90+ orders I received.
On the whole, I estimate about 25% of individual orders had a package mistake,
either missing/broken/wrong color/wrong mold part or parts. Compared to the overall
number of lots and parts I bought, it still is pretty low, though, nowhere near
the 50% ratio you are evoking.
With Used parts, I found out it really depends on individual stores, in my last
batch, one store sent Used parts in very good condition, while another sent several
dirty and many worn parts. Since I'm using the Auto-Select feature in the
Wanted List Buy page, I'm not picky the first time I order at any store,
but I'm definitely adding a couple stores on my Dislike list with each batch
of 10-15 orders.
It isn't personal, I just expect better quality and am ready to pay marginally
more before having to resort to New parts.

| Yeah, don't use alcohol if you can, it will mess up the parts' color;
hot water will do the trick if it's white glue, but if if was hot glue, for
example, then, you should be able to remove it with a blow dryer and a wooden
stick (so that it doesn't get soft from the heat, like plastic could do,
and doesn't scratch the plastic like metal).
If this really doesn't work, then, you can use alcohol, but you may have
to repaint your parts later on.

It sounds like white glue so a soak in water will do it. Try it first before
anything else.

|
| I recently got a Flying Time Vessel in a lot, and it is all glued together! The
glue does seem particularly strong, as much of the set has come apart on its
own and I see no broken pieces, it's also possible to scrape and pull off
bits of glue from some of the pieces.
I was thinking of trying hot water or alcohol, but thought I would first ask
here if anyone has any sure fire methods for getting glue off of parts.

Depends on the size. For small builds, like 16-32 studs, plates are OK.
For a bigger MOC, you might want a combination like Bricks 10x20 or Brick 8x16
on Baseplates 32x32. This gives you the advantage that you can also have occasional
holes in the ground (pot holes, man holes, steps, gutters) or space for cabling,
while keeping a smooth underside.

A Mils plate system offers some great stability if you have to move a larger
display frequently. Down side is it adds alot of parts cost
|
Here are instructions for the Moduverse system that we use for our community
builds, but they work great if you "only" build by yourself also !

I think your choice should be determined on the size of the final build and how
stable you want it. Will your model require multiple large plates or will
one large baseplate do? Will you need to move the model? A baseplate is likely
to bend and warp with movement, possibly causing structural damage to whatever
is built on top. If it's something that you or others will play with, movement
and stability needs to be taken into account.
If it's just a decorative/display item, a baseplate blends in more readily
to whatever it's placed on (plates jut up just a tad, causing a visual dissonance
to the surface it's sitting on).
|
I am planning a larger build to display, not to play with, so I guess I will
end up using some base plates and see how that turns out.
Thank

All depends on what you are building!
Baseplates arent as solid as regular plates and can misshape and bend depending
on the build.

You can use multiple VIP vouchers in an order, but the vouchers that are physical

There are 2 places where you can redeem codes on the Lego website.
The first one is in your basket where you enter codes for VIP promos like the
coins (you can only do one of these per transaction)
If you click proceed to checkout, just before you enter your payment details,
you can add the voucher codes from VIP points. You are able to add multiple of
these.
Hope that all makes sense and is helpful.

Thank you, Paul and all - I'll try multiple vouchers. Since there was only

My take:
VIP points are redeemed through “discount vouchers” that you “buy” with your
points.
“Promotional codes” are something else (“enter YAY10 and get a 10% rebate”),
though I’ve never seen LEGO do that :/

It has been about a year for me that I used VIP vouchers but I believe there’s
a new blank space for a voucher when you fill the first one.
(Too many empty spaces, or a fixed number of spaces would just confuse people
another way.)

I love Lego Star Wars battle packs and the new Bad Batch show! After watching
episode 3, I was just thinking about the insane amount of money I would throw
at Lego for an Elite Squad Troopers battle pack!
I would love 4 of the elite squad troopers in that sexy black armor and green
visors! With their unique weapons, including the flamethrower! Or even include
Crosshair again (Even though he is confirmed in the Bad Batch Shuttle, which
I CANNOT WAIT TO BUY).
I would also love battle packs from other themes, such as MCU/Marvel Super Heros!
I always thought that an Infinity War type Wakanda warriors battle pack would
be awesome or a battle pack for the upcoming Lego Infinity Saga sets.
Have ya'll thought of any ideas for interesting battle packs from any theme?

There's always a chance for a version with minifigs (like the previous two)

| With Ghostbusters Afterlife being delayed a few times and finally set to release
this fall; do you think we might see a chance for a “regular” ecto to align with
the movie?
I have the other two and was hoping for the third, but was a bit disheartened
after seeing release the monster sized one.

| In this case, no note on the listing and no variation listed either.

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.

| Thanks to all. Now I'm bummed that I spent money on that "color elemental
chart" as it doesn't list light yellow at all. Can't help but wonder
what other colors are missing.

I bought one of those elemental chart of colors, but still can't identify
this shade of yellow.
In the picture I have Light Yellow at the top, and Bright (plain) Yellow at the
bottom and a couple tan pillars for reference.
It such a slight difference from the light yellow...

Added BrickLink color names to your image.

| Agree, this item is listed in Light yellow too, not bright 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.

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

Thanks in advance!

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

doesn't have any hole either.

Please see
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1201376
and maybe also
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=280629
In fact there is no catalog entry for the variant without hole. There is only
an entry which does not say anything about the hole and an entry which says "with
hole".

| Thank you for your answer, the confusing part for me is that the hole is only
on one side, so there's no way for me to know if 48729 really doesn't
have any hole since pictures always show a single side.
But I could take pictures of 48729b without any hole either!

I don't need the hole to tell that they are all 48729b. The shape of the
clip shows you all that you need. Also, these are very modern 48729b's because
they have a flat end on the bar side. The older 48729b's and 48729 have more
rounded ends on the bar side.
It is very early in the morning here (so dark), and my photography skills are
poor, but I hope the quick and dirty image I have attached sates your curiosity.

The main difference is not (only) the hole, but the shape of the claws. You did
indeed receive the b version with cut edges.
