in trans neon green.
Lego logo on the studs.
Where did it come from? Not in the catalog.
|
Probably a prototype color.
If it's not a hassle, please consider photographing it and adding it to the
bricklink catalog for future verification reference that it does exist in that
color.

There is a lot of room between the length of time it took for the BL AFOL sets
to sell out and the 40 minutes it took the Castle in the Forest to sell out yesterday.
Yes, the variables were different, but ... 40 minutes? I can't imagine that
was expected.

Indeed not. They apparently only expected double the ADP backers / half the
Ideas clickers.
The 3,000 minimum is understandable. And I guess they have lots of reasons for
setting a max (parts availability, with other sets to produce, relatively short
time to produce / manage supply, etc.).
Still, if the biggest toy seller in the world can’t predict anything, repeatedly….
If you add the no-more-exclusives fiasco (
AFOLs: Stop making exclusives! We all want to buy everything!
TLG: Okay, we hear you! No more regional exclusives, pinky swear! … BTW, here
are new sets exclusive to East Asia, and here’s another one for the SDCC, and,
and, and…. )
and other very limited limited editions, it’s like TLG only wants to sell (expensive)
collectibles, not toys, and only to scalpers.

Pure speculation here, but I think the artificial scarcity motivates people to
buy that might not otherwise. I can always put off buying a regular LEGO set
knowing that it will probably be available for a few years, but the same is not
true of a designer program set. Of course, LEGO could probably sell more than
5,000 of each if they made them regular sets, but it would probably take more
than a day.
|
Maybe I don't understand what's going on (and there's probably not
a sure way to do so)... But, if I were a company, I would think the best method
would be to make the max unlimited and then close the number AFTER the 30 days
(or whatever) time expired. I would want to maximize my profits. In fact, the
more sets that are produced at any factory at one time, the less the cost for
each set it. Because the biggest time/cost factor is setting up the production
run itself for the first time.

| | Hello Bricklinkers,
After adding all my remarks and try to part out ninjago city gardens, it failed😞
I’ve noticed that you are meant to part this set in two halves.
Below is the additional note.
Additional Notes: Collapse ▲
Due to the massive number of lines (1000+) in the inventory of this set, the
BrickLink system will time out during the part out process. You must part out
the set in two different halves.
It would be much appreciated if someone is kind enough to let me know how you
do that please.
*do you just delete half of the lots?
Thank you.

Is it really that hard to fix this site error?

| | Hello there!
I need some more help identifying some parts in my inventory. I'm aware that
they're from either Bionicle / Hero Factory / Knights Kingdom - other than
that, I'm unable to identify them.
Any and all help appreciated.
Thank you!

Are you aware that most of those parts have a part number already engraved into
them? Simply type the part number in the search bar and the entry for it in the
catelog on bricklink will come up.

| | Hi everyone,
We had a buyer leave us great and positive written feedback, but accidentally
chose "neutral" instead of "positive" feedback as the radio button. They are
a first time buyer. Any way to modify this to be a positive?
We contacted the seller and they confirmed it was an accident, but this affects
the store and would like it changed.
Thanks!

In the past, I sent a message to the help desk and they were able to do something
about it.
