tEoS,
I have found a lot of battle droid parts with no "LEGO" stamped on them. They
do have numbers stamped on them and a copyright "C" inside a circle.
Would you say they are legitimate? I just don't want to list them unless
I find a way to confirm.

| Hi everyone,
I bid on eBay lots often and am always suspicious of counterfeit Lego. I absolutely
want to avoid mistakenly selling counterfeit Lego in my store and I inspect the
lots I win HEAVILY.
I received some Super Battle Droids - Pearl Dark Gray Item No: sw0092. I see
the lego stamp on the torso and both arms, but not anywhere on the legs:
Part No: 42687 Pearl Dark Gray Legs Mechanical, Super Battle Droid.
I am trying to search the internet but can't get a definitive answer. Could
ya'll help me out which determining? I am going off the basic understanding
that if a single part does NOT have the "LEGO" stamp on the plastic somewhere,
it is counterfeit.
Thank you in advance!

Yep. I bought it awhile ago. I just noticed it today.

Dang, well at least "Orange Arm, (Matching Left and Right) Pair Item No: 981982"

| I have heard this issue before but that would not explain poly bags like this:
This poly bag was officially sold by TLG and was just one minifig. This would
violate that Hasbro issue if true? Idk
I would love a SW CMF series and I hope the MCU CMF does well in sales so it
will give TLG motivate to make a new series for SW. Especially since all these
new Disney+ SW shows are coming out in 2022! It would be a perfect run off of
the MCU Disney+ shows CMF!

|
| KDSBRICKTOPIA,
Yes, you can advertise a sale or a listed lot in the forum, though the "Sales"
section may be a more appropriate place to post.
The issue with your post is this lot is not listed in your store and it appears
you may be offering this lot "off the record". To sell something on this website,
it must be listed in your store and officially hosted by BL. That is so if you
make the sale, BL can collect state sales tax and their commission fee, which
is clearly stated in the terms of the website.
I hope this helped and good luck with your lot!

| This was kinda of my question about forwarding, you just worded it better lol
I suspect I have had 3 different buyers like this and I haven't had any PP/BL
issues with them. The only thing I have noticed with these sellers is they don't
leave any feedback for any of the orders they make, but that is their personal
choice.

|
| Hi Nita!
Just asking to better understand, why do you have a policy against freight forwarders?
What are the repercussions of selling to these users if they pay the price of
the item you have listed?
Reason I ask is I recently received two different orders where the buyer asked
no packing slip be packaged with the order in the invoice comments. I just assume
they could be freight forwarders due to making that request. But the sale went
through and I personally haven't had any issues with these orders/buyers.
Thank you in advance and hope you can get your negative feedback resolved!

I got the idea from built_bricks on instagram to improve and upgrade the Bad
Batch minifigs to look even more awesome. I gave them all backpack like in the

for right now, I'm glad Lego added a printed brick with him.

|
| Hi Adam!
It is all personal preference and how you want to run your store. I have seen
a few cents to several dollars for lots over 50+, 100+, etc.
I personally don't charge any lot fee as I feel it deters some buyers who
would rather buy from sellers with limited to no additional fees. I feel this
is especially important to consider for a brand new store.
I think if you organize your inventory well, orders shouldn't take too long
to process and package. I would recommend looking at multiple factors of your
store to consider if you should or should not include a lot fee including how
many lots you have, your organization, the value of your time to package, how
much time you have free to package orders, etc.
I hope this helped and best of luck to you!!

|
| Hi everyone!
This is my first ever MOC that I wanted to showcase!
I have always loved the mini Slave I build from the Betrayal at Cloud City #75222
set. I am also big fan of Jango Fett and the Star Wars Episode II Slave I.
I thought I'd breakout into the MOC realm starting easy with just changing
the color scheme and a few part changes, but still following the main build created
by Lego. I mostly followed the 75222 instructions for the MOC.
Let me know what you think and if you have any recommendations! I know the colors
may not be 100% movie accurate and I plan to add on/change out parts to make
it as movie accurate as possible.
*I did get inspiration from DarthBH's build. https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=90995
Thank you for your time and take care!

I agree and would further say, create a downloadable mobile app for BL! I check
my store and messages often when I am out, on my phone using the phone internet
browser. It is not very user friendly on a small phone screen. A mobile application
would be so much more convenient and easier to navigate, for sellers and buyers!

| Hi there!
The store will be closing Thursday, June 17th, for Fiesta 2021 in San Antonio, Texas! Due to Fiesta obligations, the store will be closed for the celebrations and open back up Sunday, June 27th!
I just don't want orders to be placed and due to prior obligations, not be able to fulfill those orders and get them shipped out in a timely manner. I know I expect that when I place my own orders on BL! Hopefully, I will also be able to collect more minifigs and restock the store some more during that down time as well.
You still have time to place an order and I will ensure to get it shipped before Fiesta starts! Remember, all orders will include a FREE bonus bag! Bonus bags are filled with random extra parts and minifig accessories, included as big thank you for supporting the store!
Thank you for your time and take care!

There is no “auto-fill” for this MOC because it’s “for display only” because
it infringes on Disney’s IP and LEGO/BL don’t want to earn money from it (at
least, not too easily).
If you found a MOC that is not “for display only,” you’d be able to make a Wanted
List readily and to download the .io file to use it with Studio.

If you press building steps on the MOC, a full list of the parts should appear

| Hi all!
I want to get into the realm of MOCs and was browsing through the BL Studio.
I found this mini Slave I (Ep 2) build that I would love to build myself. I have
tried clicking on everything and also searching through the forums first, but
I cannot find a part list for the MOC? Is there a way to download or will I have
to go step by step in the MOC build and write down the part #s?
Thank you in advance and take care!

|
| Hi everyone!
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?

| lol I bet you never expect that one day then BOOM! Order up!
I do that too, order a lot of one theme and then will add a random minifig. Especially
with part orders, after I add everything to my cart, I usually will take a few
minutes to browse the rest of their story and see if there is anything else I
would want. I am a big minifig collector and always looking to add randoms to
my collection

I was scrolling through the forum and came across: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1271476
I saw that wildchicken13 sold 307 chickens (Item No: 95342pb01) in one order
which I thought was strange and honestly hilarious. It made me wonder what type
of random, in excess quantities, orders have others sold?
So post below and make me laugh! Screenshots are welcome lol
Take care ya'll!

| Hi zzuleger42!
That set parted out new using 6 month avg pricing is valued at around $125.95,
so seems like a good deal. The question would be on how fast you would sell those
parts and make a profit? That is up to you!
Hope this helped and best of luck to you! Take care!

| Hi Skullfyre!
1. Yes, especially because I buy a lot of used lots off Offer Up, eBay, etc.
I would recommend anyone selling used to wash and sanitize their items before
selling. Or even if you are buying used and keeping it for a personal collection,
which I also do.
2. No, that is very inconvenient. I wouldn't want my own order to come that
way. Like you said, it makes it more difficult to count and verify.
Best of luck to you and take care!

|
| Hi Sweatergirl, as others have posted, you can edit your shipping methods and
change the weight scale or how ever you charge for shipping with instant checkout.
However, if you use USPS, they charge shipping cost by weight AND distance from
seller ZIP to buyer ZIP. So with that, shipping cost can be different between
buyers of different states, even if they were to make the same exact order. I
am not sure if other shipping companies use the distance method as well. Just
something to keep in mind when you see shipping charges are different between
orders.
I hope this helped and best of luck to you! Take care!

| Hi amvdamian,
If you haven't already, I would notify BL of your issue with your order through
this link:
https://www.bricklink.com/retractOrder.asp
This issue is why it is so important to read and understand store's terms.
When you make a purchase, you are stating you are okay with their terms and you
are on their time. I would recommend purchasing from store that has stricter
terms that fits your needs.
Best of luck with your situation and hope this helped. Take care!
