Sanpping or unsnapping sounds would make for a much more rich experience, just
a few random snaps,clicks, clacks for pins would add so much!

Since some months or a year ago I have been noticing that some parts feel the
same, newer ones have a matte finish (or not shiny?) and weight less.

For example:

 
Part No: 32184  Name: Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular 3L with Center Pin Hole
* 
32184 Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular 3L with Center Pin Hole
Parts: Technic, Connector {Black}

Left matte weights 0.57g
Right shiny weights 0.64g

So be careful if you weight them to count... the difference could be big.

PD: Someone posted in the forum some time ago a huge difference in weight between
two 100u bags of the same part, but couldn't find it to reply now.

This time, it's a 9v train controller and some track. I don't have a
9v train motor or even a voltmeter, so I don't know if the controller works.
The track is dark gray. Message me if you are interested. I will ship anywhere
in the USA for free. If you are not in the USA, feel free to message me anyway
and maybe we can work something out (through BrickLink, of course).

I was looking up my Indians today and had trouble finding one of them. Apparently
she is a collectible minifigure. Why is she not shown with the Indians as a

Hi all.
I 've now (after buying a few missing parts) got complete 10188 set, boxed
with instructions and all it's internal boxes.
I'm a bit miffed I can't find any resources allowing me to recreate the
original boxes - as in which pieces go in Boxes 1 - 4 (an the internal bags etc.)
Does anyone know of anywhere were this information might be held ?

Hi everyone,

I'm going through my old lego boxes that I kept from when I was a kid. Set
6044 kings carriage. My box that I have is different than what Bricklink shows.
Box that I have has piece count(120) printed and royal knights shield with lion
head printed next to the set number right upper corner. Any insight or comments
much appreciated. Thank you

I noticed something while looking at the Minifigure, Weapon Gun, Blaster Long
(SW). This piece isn't used in any sets except Star Wars sets. Why does lego
not use Star Wars guns in other lego sets? The Minifigure, Weapon Gun, Blaster
Long (SW) would make a great sniper rifle. I'm curious why they would limit
these great pieces to just one theme.

Hi smart heads,
When I check the value of a set for part out I'm always intrigued by the
My Inventory Average, especially the part that tells the number of parts & lots
that I don't have in my store inventory (first screen).

What I tried myself is the "parts from set" function in the extended inventory
search (second screen). When I click Go, I get a list of all parts from my inventory
that also are in the set I'm searching for, but it's not what I want!

Is there a way to find out what those missing 164 items in 53 lots (in my example)
are? Bricklink seems to know, but how can I get access to this data?

I'm thinking of making a wanted list for the complete set and then 'subtract'
the parts that I own in my store inventory from it.
Would that be possible in some way or another? Perhaps by making a combination
of exporting and then reimporting XML files but I don't know how.
There must be a way - at least I hope so

Thanks to anyone who can shine a light upon this.

So here's a bit of a pedantic question...

I'm trying to get all the missing pieces together for my Death Star 10188-1

This set has both 48729 and 48729b in the parts list.

I keep trying to buy part 48729 but being sent 48729b - is there actually a difference
(except for a hole in 48729b) or can they be interchanged ??

Hi,

Quick question to this group...

Apparently there are some changes to the EU VAT legislation with regards to E-commerce
or web shops.

From the 1st of July, when you operate an e-commerce business with generated
income of over 10.000€, you will need to charge the VAT rate of the country of
which you are selling to.

Eg. I sell over 10K€ per year. If I sell (based in Belgium) to France, I will
need to apply the French VAT rate on my order instead of the Belgian VAT rate.

Selling platforms like E-bay, Amazon, Bol.com and therefor in my opinion, BL
as well, will need to enable this way of invoicing.

Do any of you guys or girls know more about this?

I am including a link, if this is allowed?

Kind regards,

Nick

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.

Dear Bricklink Admins

I am worried and hope you can help me.
I have just visited the new Bricklink R3 Website and I have a few questions about
this future website.

Altough it looks visually very pleasing, I hvae two concerns / questions.

What happenes to the other 2 Categories Gears / Catalogs? Are they going to be
deleted? Will it be not anymore possible to buy old OFFICIAL Lego catalogs on
Bricklink?

Secondly, are you going to delete the Sub-Themes /Sub-Categories?
There is only castle and all castle sets cannot anymore be divided in sub-categories,
which was very handy in order to find certain sets?

Is this just an early version of the upcoming website or are these the final
changes?
I really hope Bricklink won't lose that much of information, possibilities
and content!

With the kindest regards
Barthon

something missing such as a hat or a minifig utensil,please i need your help,my

Just put together 6076... dismantled, and tried again.. and no matter what I
keep ending up with one leftover 1x2 black.

I know one of them is a spare for the horse if you have the saddle, but I just
can't see it on these pixely old pdf instructions.

With new Lego sets each page tells you which bricks you need, but of course the
older sets didn't and are more challenging sometimes because of that.

Anyone know where I can find step by step which bricks are needed per page?

I've come across virtual simulators for some sets but not all.

Any help is always appreciated!

Since Facebook, Youtube, and countless other platforms have gone to Dark mode

Hello everyone,

how do you define MISB?
I ordered something where the seller described it as MISB and I got the item
today with price stickers all over the box. I would never consider this MISB
even though the box itself is in very good shape. Based on the fact that there
are stickers on it and I can not remove them without damaging the item, I feel
MISB is the wrong description.

Am I too harsh here?

Thanks

Today I made an order of 5 minifigs in a Bricklinkshop.

A few hours later I saw an order cancellation without any communication.

All 5 minifigs were cancelled due to the fact they all are sold at Ebay!
All! Not only 1 but all 5.
Too much of a coincidence in my opinion, you can forget about 1 minifig but 5!
I guess he found the price he asked too low although he himself had them on sale
for 15% discount.
So how can you discount them quite recently and than forgot to take them out
of your inventory when you sell them on Ebay...

Is it possible to start an NSS in this case?

Thanks for reading and for the possible help I receive.

I have the train 12v replacement motor item No x551. According to item info this
motor was not produced after 1977 but this one clearly says that it was manufactured
in 1983. How can that be? I dont recollect this motor being used in sets in the
80s. Should item info be updated or?

Hi,

I have been sent payment from a buyer and for the last 2 days it has been sat
at 'pending' with an estimated fee that paypal will take off it.
Does anybody know how long it takes for the pending to go to completed? the amount
has not appeared on my paypal balance.
I have emailed the buyer to ask him how he paid etc but he has not responded
back to me, I've also searched on paypal but couldn't find anything related
to this.
I'm not going to send the order until it completes but also don't want
the buyer to be waiting too long for it either.

Many thanks.

Hi, I need to find part 2040 in Fabuland Brown.
I'm afraid there is a mistake in B.L inventories and this part does not exist
in Fabuland Brown color.
I bought one and received the part in the middle of the picture: it's in
Fabuland Orange color.
I checked with another 2 sellers and they also have this part in Fabuland Orange
although it was listed as Fabuland Brown.
My question is if there's anybody here who has this part in Fabuland Brown
and can upload here the picture?
Thanks in advance,
Yoav

Today I ordered a reel of electronics parts from a major US distributor. The
item was tagged DISCONTINUED, represented about 40% of a full reel, and I placed
a note that a shortage was acceptable. The parts cost ~$0.003/each. They notified
me that the order would be 1 short, and as the item was DISCONTINUED they would
be unable to supply it. Had the online quantity not been set to zero, I wasn't
sure if they canceled the entire order or not.

So the things we deal with here, happen elsewhere as well ... not just at BL
!

Apologies on the poor photo. Found this part while sorting, has a sticker on
it, but cannot seem to locate it. Checked star wars sets sticker sheets and stickered
parts, no luck.

I've been on Bricklink for probably over 11-12 years now. For maybe only
a quarter of that time I've been a seller and most of that time I've
been a buyer. One major issue that seems to span across each year quite frequently
is the amount of sellers who send out orders with missing/incorrect pieces.

Firstly, let me be clear. This isn't a "BrickLink sellers suck"/rant post,
this is about finding solutions to the current problem (most of which is based
on my experience as a seller/piece identifier). I've been very guilty of
this in the past and selling parts exclusively seems to result in the most errors,
so please don't take this as if I'm making out I'm any better of
a seller than any one else. I also want to get the natural responses and defence
cases out of the way too. I understand for most people, this is just their side
hustle. I understand most people aren't experts in lego colour/part identification.
I understand theres a lot of orders to go through. I understand we're all
human and make mistakes. These also ALL apply to me too, so I know. Anyway, enough
of the that, I want to discuss positive solutions!

For colour identification:
I use a white light lamp (any kind of non yellow, pale light or natural sun light
will work). Always keep two reliable references of either colour to hand as some
colours (especially from the mid 2000's) can be quite indistinct. I'm
mainly talking about light greys lol.

For Part identification:
Take the time to check if your part has any sibling moulds or similar variants
before listing. This can literally be the difference between a part worth 0.01
and 2.00.

Before sending out:
ALWAYS check your orders twice before sending to a customer. from my experience
most people value quality over Amazon level delivery time. E.g. whats the point
in me getting my order within two days if half the pieces I need are incorrect.
So a big thing of note here is DO NOT put pressure on yourself to be super duper
fast at posting if you know you might get an order wrong. Advertise that, to
guaranty the best possible service you'll take a day or so the check the
order before shipping. (I have a four day rule before I HAVE to post an order
just in case).

For now, that's all I want to say. Thank you to everyone I've ever ordered
from for making all my lost pieces reappear over the years haha. And please remember,
this is to save you as much hassle as the buyer. Nobody wants to loose out on
refunds.

If anyone else has any tips on the matter, please post them below!!

I'm not sure if it is LEGO,the arm moves. There is no number or logo stamped
on it. So I figured I would ask the experts!

I'm curious how everyone establishes their cost basis for the parts in their
inventory. For example, do you just take the cost of the set divided by the number
of parts? Do you establish higher values for minifigures or motors?

How do you track the rolling inventory value?

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to learn what you do and what you
consider the pros & cons of your accounting system for parts.

Thanks!

I had a problem order recently (incorrect and missing parts) and the seller gave
me a refund to cover the parts. We both left positive feedback, and now the seller
has stop listed me.

Just seems silly to stop list someone in such a situation. Curious about others
thoughts, I guess?
