| I believe I’ve seen that odd hinge piece too but don’t know what happened to
it, hope it’s in my reject box that I still have.
I’ll check when I get settled in a new house.

| | This pieces appears to be a two part mold. I once had just the piece that was
for the majority of the outer section.
This piece has been accidentally produced with one of the hinge rocker sides
flipped backwards, so that it can only function as a 1x2 brick. It came from
one of the Star Wars Desert Skiff sets (Sadly, I through it out).

I drive my daughter to work every morning. She takes the bus home to make this
happen. We leave early so that we can enjoy our breakfast (tailgate style) on
the 7 floor parking garage roof of the medical clinic she works at, which offers
a fantastic panoramic view of Western Washington, including Mt. Rainier (14,410
ft volcano) to the south. Beautiful!
I feel so damn lucky that someone as wonderful as my daughter wants to spend
time with me… plus the views ain’t bad 
Distractions are good, but not entirely therapeutic. What’s going on in your
life that's bad?

I would prefer to see them in the catalog.
Used parts will show up in random lots in a few years time anyway.
Now that LEGO is using them like this, maybe it is time to reconsider.

I can't believe that Mega Bloks has never been sued out of existence by Lego
for copyright infringement of their design/product. I can't tell you the
countless hours I have spent separating non-Lego from genuine Lego parts only
to dump these fraudulent pieces into the garbage. Family members who give these
Mega Blok sets to their children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews etc., are proliferating
a continual crime in my opinion. These inferior products may at the onset look
like they can be combined with the Lego system of bricks, but in actuality ruin
the building experience that that child might have otherwise enjoyed if using
pure Lego only.
|
LOL! the non-lego brands are super annoying when sorting bulk.
However, don't forget that LEGO was once a clone brick brand as well copying
kiddicraft. So if kiddicraft had sued lego out of existence in 1949, what you're
suggesting lego do to mega-bloks now, then lego wouldn't exist today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFELcl75CiY
I had a terrible experience with a mega-bloks monster truck as a little kid.
I was never able to put it all the way together bc the tolerances were so bad
that pushing a piece in would pop one off somewhere else.
I'm guessing uninitiated gift buyers think they are getting more bang for
their buck, but I'd rather have had a modest $20 lego set back then than
a giant $20 cheap monster truck.
I will say that the halo figures they make are actually pretty cool and they
have some resell value as well which helps fund more lego purchases.

| Looks like some I’ve seen before, I believe it’s an ageing of the original white.
Some of these earlier pieces seem to age differently, possibly due to batches
of plastic and colourant used, some stay white others change to slightly off
white through to almost tan.
In LEGO, lecrad writes:
| | Does anyone have any thoughts on this part? Is it a prototype or just old?
I have never seen this color or style. It has 4 lines of ribs on the back side.
It is a very light yellow color. I don't believe it is a "discolored white"
as it is very uniform and not the ugly off white color of discolored old lego.

| 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.
In Problem Order, brian7451 writes:
| | 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
