| Bad practice and not normal.
We all find that for some inexplicable reason a part is missing on occasions
but I for one always inform the buyer and try to source from someone else so
I don’t let anyone down.
I offer to cancel if they prefer or ask for a few days to source the missing
part/s at my expense.
Most buyers are happy to wait a few days so that the order is complete, they
don’t have to order from another seller and incur extra costs.

| | The seller does not have all the pieces I bought so they ship the package without
telling me and after it is gone they let me know and refund the pieces.
It didn't show as shipped or even packed so I asked that they cancel the
order within 4 minutes of being told and I get told sorry it is already shipped
and if I want to cancel to just reject it and when they get it back I will get
a refund.
Well it is on the other side of the world so that would be well over a month.
What a bad way to do business

the black part with 4 2x2 plates hinged together, logo on the studs. Some of
the rest not Lego for sure but tossed them in when I still bother you for help
once again. The post "feels" Lego but can't find it, the gear-piece as well

item is missing. I can supply 2 more items but I know 100% they were in the order.
If I don’t re issue the parts the buyer demands a full order refund, and then
my 100% feedback will be ruined. What do I do ?? I have put the buyer on my stop

| | I went to my local flea market this week end and there is a new Lego knockoff
store now. Beautiful Mini figures mostly. After 10 minutes of my 5 kids shopping
and gathering $20 worth of stuff I noticed no "Lego" on anything or anywhere
in the store. Kind of made me mad so I asked the woman behind the counter about
it and was told they were not allowed by owner to mention the "L word" and they
had several stores and got most of the figures from China. The first 10 minutes
I was there she made no attempt to correct anyone that said Lego. She saw I was
upset and said "Mister I'm just trying to work and support my two kids".
I can't argue with that but am still mad after two days.

| The best authorities on these are on Flickr, check out WRMe2 ( I think that’s
right, name is Wouter ), Bendix ( Beryll ) and never forget Maxx.
I’ll check the details of their Flickr names and let you know, haven’t used them
for awhile, they are all very nice people and extremely helpful.
There are others and I apologise to anyone I’ve not listed or I’ve misspelt,
I’m doing this from a very overloaded memory at the moment.
If in doubt of sites or names just check out replies to my photo’s and you’ll
find them.

I love puffballs, have you baked them or eaten fresh?
But yes, mushrooms can be tricky be safe.

| Hopefully I will have a much bigger range again sometime in early 2022, both
vintage and modern, new and used.
Plans to double in size at that point, fingers crossed, I have the stock and
just need time to recheck counts of existing stock and manually add new stock.
I will have a lot of 2 x 4 test bricks and slotted bricks, windows and doors
in different sizes to list.
If you like the corner 4 x 4’s, I have some variations of these to list.

you're ready.
I love your 4x4 L bricks, from lack of a better term.
In Off Topic, Stuart9 writes:
| | Sent you a private message with a password for you to take a look.
Sorry I can’t help with an order at present.
The exceptional items like the one I used for my store photo do sell for very
high prices, the main interest in something like this is from 2 x 4 3001/3001old
collectors although this is neither as it’s from the classic range, known as
slotted bricks.

2022.
I’m relocating at the moment and everything is packed away, I cannot get to anything
and cannot fill any orders at all, just not possible.
I could give you a password to take a look but only on the understanding that
an order is not possible, hope you understand.

I’ve read that only young ones are edible and if they have started to yellow
then it can make some people feel sick.
Older ones that have changed in the centre beyond yellow are inedible I believe.

Hard to see in the pic, but it looks to be a mold of some type, which are multicellular,
filamentous fungi. Heads up, there is a pink mold looking bacteria that grows
on wood in moist conditions as well. But you already seem to be aware of being
careful about such things.

Unpopular opinion here, but I bag each lot separately. It doesn't matter
if there is one part in the lot or 1000, it goes in its own bag. I do this because
as a buyer, I hate receiving lots bagged together because it requires extra work
to verify the contents of the order and I usually end up separating the lots
anyway using my own bags. However, I totally understand sellers that combine
lots in one bag to save money on plastic bags and reduce plastic waste.

you gotta settle on a spelling if you're gonna talk about it at length, I

consume much myself, nor does he for that matter. Just a couple of lightweights
in that regard.
Like everything else he does, he reads-up extensively, immerses himself into

miss a week) we break out the Glencairn whiskey tasting glasses and sample the
latest of his finds, and talk. It's something that I look forward to very
much, both the talking and the whiskey but mostly what he has to share.
My son is one of those exceptionally intelligent guys, that enjoys a conversation.
He's also a voracious reader, mostly books on the classics and military history.
So not only do I get to sample some good whiskeys, but get to learn more about
history as he shares the latest book he's into. Three things I enjoy: my

| I'm the same, still have to look through rock pools as I did as a kid, fascinated
watching wood ants on their mounds and many more things.
Only ever watched nature programmes to see the Cicadas, not an event you'll
see too often in a lifetime.
I think the most annoying and spectacular thing we see is the mass of flying
ants once a year as they leave to start new colonies.

I am in this group. I am always fascinated by the little things around me when
I go on walks, runs, hikes, bike rides, canoeing, camping, etc. Not only does
the wildlife intrigue me, but every type of plant, fungus, etc. Right now, the
17-year cicadas are out in my part of Ohio ("Brood X" as it is known). The last
time they were here, I had just moved into my first home at 28 and had no kids.
Now, my life could not be more different than it was then. The sound is deafening
and overly irritating, but the whole cicada life cycle and observing them above
ground just fascinates me. They are cute in a weird sort of way.
I love spending time in the outdoors as much as my LEGO!

alcoholic spirits, just don't like the taste.
Drank Vodka a lot whilst in my late teens and early twenties but lost any interest
after too many hangovers, now I can't tolerate it at all.
Never liked anything that tastes earthy/peaty whether that's malt, beers
or those dreadful cheap wines we had in the 70's/80's here in the U.K.
My sweet tooth doesn't help, not a fan of anything too dry.

Btw, if you enjoy peated single malts, there's the Westland distillery up

Lovely photos, I'm lucky I get to see skies like that a fair bit as I live

even though it meant rain for most of the day, it had lots of the reds and oranges.

It is 4x10x3-1/3, black with grey technic axle inserts. All in all it looks like

2-wire approximately 136 studs long that goes into a slot into one of the top
studs. The opposite end of the power lead ends in a 2x2x2/3 brick.The only imprint
I can see is on the bottom of the motor saying "Lego Group" and "08 2".
Can anyone tell me what set this is from and hopefully a part number?

| They've clearly come a long way since their beginning cloning Kiddicraft
bricks.
You can see their slow transition into today's sleek marketing and product,
a few hiccups on the way, in their basic bricks.
Collecting early pieces shows up all the refining of both the product and it's
branding that have happened over the years.
The change from slotted to hollow, then to tubes and supported tubes, each phase
having numerous variations, refining the injection points as they went.
The change from no logo to different base logos, changing to stud and base logo,
from that through numerous styles of stud logo only.
Then of course you have the test bricks in all it's forms and colours, not
to mention the unofficial pieces from various moulding companies.
There are many other things I could mention but then it's getting too geeky.
In General, SylvainLS writes:

The first LEGO bricks did not have a logo, maybe because LEGO did not invent
those bricks, but took the idea from Kiddicraft.
Some time later these bricks came with the logo on the inside, after that came
the stud logo.
There are a few double logo bricks, with logo both on the inside and on the studs.
It is a great thing to look into.
|
They just took time to learn/refine marketting: put your brand on the package,
then on the back of the product, then very visible on the product, so much visible
that only your brand is associated with the product / the stud now.
They might even have invented something there. Any marketting historian here?
