No...fecking....way...
OMG - that would be fantastic. They should do a full Horizon Zero Dawn theme.
Epic game, would produce epic sets. Would buy and build them all.

Anyone who has this set, can you tell me if the plastic used for the black infrared

Everybody does have the chance to build LEGO sets, and there are many sets to
choose from. If you mean everybody should have the chance to build every set,
then that is impossible as LEGO / BL limit the number of copies of each set,
especially the BDP sets.
Although even if you have missed out on one of the BDP sets, you can still get
the instructions and collect together the parts and build it.

Like the logo on the box already tells you: it is not LEGO.
Also, you can tell from the description and image that the bricks are not even
the same size; they might come close to Modulex size, but might even be smaller.

They are still assembled as I use them as display pieces. I have very limited

Then think about what you enjoyed building already and aim for similar parts.
Then place an order on bricklink.

Yes, you can:
1. if the stores are not based in the same country,
2. if the stores are not buying directly from LEGO / are not both buying from
the same distributor.
Also, once again, we don’t know what their supplier tells them, we only infer
it. Maybe their supplier tells something to some sellers and another thing to
others, depending on other factors (brick & mortar vs. web only, size…).
Maybe they give ranges….

than LEGO Ireland.

The price at which a set is sold in a shop is not the RRP, it’s just the-price-it’s-sold-in-the-shop,
period.
First R of RRP is for Recommended, not for Mandatory, and it’s only an indication
given to sellers by the vendor. We sort of know it because LEGO also sells directly
on their website and in their shops and we therefore conclude that LEGO’s price
is the price they tell sellers the set should be sold. But shops decide at what
price they sell.
If you don’t want to be confused, or rather fooled, by these fakish discounts,
you need to learn which shops tend to mark up their initial prices (relatively
to LEGO and other shops’ pricing).
Some shops even have a tendency to have “initial” prices that are anything but
“initial”: they never sold at this price, it’s just to make the discounts seem
more interesting.
This is bordering illegal or at least very shady.

First - MOC means My Own Creation, just a pet peeve.
Next - Are your sets still built or do you plan to use those pieces in your
MOC? I have a large collection and have it comingled but sorted. Using the
bricks you already have is probably easiest. I would use them even if they are
the wrong colour and then switch things out (buy) to get the right colour or
better piece.
Also, when beginning a build, I usually have a general idea about something and
a few specific ideas. Sometimes I know just what the enterance will look like
but not how big it will be. Or I want to use a specific style of furniture and
build the outside to compliment it. Build the specific part and then, if necessary,
rebuild it into your building. MOC's are seldom built in one go and the beauty
of Lego is that you can keep making changes for as long as you want and no one
will ever know how many times you rebuilt it.
Another option is a program called Lego Digital Designer. You can build using
every brick available and depending on the version you can even place an order
for the parts used when your done.
Play Well!

| Hi,
I often take apart sets from the 2000s for details (9680, 9684). Tires in sealed
sets are almost always shiny and sticky. I always inspect such tires, there are
no cracks on them and they are normally dressed and removed from the wheels.
Who has met with such tires, share your experience. Can such tires be used? How
to store them better. With active use, do they remain in good condition or quickly
deteriorate?
So far, I have been quietly selling such tires, but I doubt how long they will
last to customers.
Regards
Alexei

My store is very new and I didn't have a payment method ready for them to
pay. I was inundated with messages from several buyers. The buyer who paid for
it bought it within 5 minutes of me putting it up unannounced.

| Hi ,
Congrats! The set(s) you pre-ordered from the BrickLink Designer Program have
been crowdfunded.
Now your sets go off to production. Yours are expected to ship in August 2022.
Creating awesome new sets takes some work, but we're sure it'll be worth
the wait.
You can visit LEGO.com for more info about your order(s).
----------------------------
I've ordered the Venetian Houses and the Retro Bowling Alley.
Excited that they go to production, but have to wait 9 months to actually have
them LOL
What have you ordered and how will you get through the 9 month wait?

I've ordered the Lego Shop....order status still is "in process"

| Hello,
Just a question for some fellow sellers.
I'm very new to selling here on Bricklink, and could use a bit of guidance
here.
I recently sold something rather rare here on Bricklink (buyer has not paid,
but has requested invoice).
Well, It seems as though I priced it far too low, because I've had someone
else message and offer me almost double the price I had listed it for.
Now, what I want to know is, would it be bad for me to cancel the first order
and sell to the second person?
This isn't something I would normally look to do, but I could really use
the money as the festive season draws closer and I am currently unemployed.
tbf I normally look at price history of Lego sets here on Bricklink before advertising
a price. However, there was no price history other than a new set which sold
for $568. My set is used, but comes with instructions and original box. There
are a couple other sets being sold on bricklink that come without the box and
instructions, and they are priced starting at $65. The amount I sold it for was
$175, over $100 above for only adding the instructions and box. The price being
offered by the second buyer is £300.
Anyways, sorry to digress. I want to know if A: It is acceptable to cancel the
first order under these pretenses, and B: If the first buyer could submit negative
feedback for myself for a cancelled order.
Thanks in advance! Any help is greatly appreciated as I am tremendously torn!

Thanks for the replies guys. I was fairly sure that was the right thing to do,
I just needed a bit of a push in that direction.

No, it is never acceptable to cancel an order just to sell an item to someone
else. The contract is supposed to be binding on both sides. Imagine yourself
in your buyer's shoes. And, yes, they could leave you a negative as well.
I understand your disappointment, but I think you know the right thing to do
here!
Good luck,
Jen

Yes. It's also bad that someone messaged you with a higher offer, if that
was done through BrickLink. You should also consider that the higher offer might
not actually be genuine.

|
No, it's not acceptable and yes, you should prepare for negative feedback
if you cancel the order.
