  Hi there. I hope everybody is fine. I recently found my old Pokemon English 1st
Edition Dschungel Booster Box. The box is open and only three boosters are missing
the other 33 are all present and still factory fresh sealed. My question is now,
where can I sell those for a good price. Okey a lot will say Ebay, but are there
any other market plattforms in the internet ? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Hi Fellow Lego enthusiasts,

I'd like to open a can of worms and state that Animals that are based on
Characters should be classed as Minifigures.

We now have "Brick Built" figures being included as Minifigures (EG: Unikitty
& Super Mario) However Animals that are Characters in their respective TV show
or Movie are considered Animals? (EG: Scooby Doo from Scooby Doo & Lotso the
Bear from Toy Story)

What are your thoughts?

Interesting. Never heard of them before.

In France, until very recently, they were used to pay fines (speeding tickets…)
and other occasional taxes.
At the beginning, they were used more widely for a lot of taxes.  Customs & excise
for instance, or rights on sales or official documents, licences, passports….
They are proof you paid.
And they existed before postal stamps, so, actually postal stamps are just a
special form of fiscal stamps.


For fines, you got a letter/form by mail, you went to the local “tabac-presse”
(tobacco-press) shop to buy the stamps, you put them on the form and send it
back.  This way, you didn’t send cash by mail (which is forbidden in France)
and didn’t have to go to the Treasury administration building, to wait in line
for hours….

Now it’s all “dématerialisé” (virtual) but you still need them, for instance
for a passport.

But I really don't know where I could find Playmobil old parts from the 80s.
I'm looking for pieces from the 3550 galleon set.

Thanks and best regards.

I see some on eBay. I don’t know any better place to look.

  Leopard37 was able to do something really cool with a really cool group this
year!



I was browsing the Creations for Charity website earlier this year and noticed
that the last couple of years there was nothing given out in Canada. I decided
to ask whether or not they wanted a Canadian presence this year and was so excited
to hear back that I could help them distribute to local kids this year.



I run a Bricklink and BrickOwl store and was connected with a LEGO Collector's
Canada Facebook group earlier this year and have been very blessed by the LEGO
community during my layoff last year due to COVID. It was very rewarding to be
able to give back to the community and pass on the best toy ever to some kids
who may not get anything this holiday season.



I was able to obtain 88 sets to donate. After hearing a call out on the local
radio for a need for gifts for 8-12 year olds at Santa's Anonymous they all
got delivered there on Wednesday December 8th. Here's hoping some kids in
Edmonton have an enjoyable time building their sets this holiday break.


You're a good man, Tyson.

It's inspiring, thanks for sharing.

Wow, I use a box top lid from a Staples printer paper box for the same reason
you do. It's sturdy and the perfect size for almost every order. I've
used it for a long time, the corners are taped up because I've stepped on
it more than once. I have unused box lids that are exactly the same but it never
occurred to me to replace it.

  Have you ever been attached to an object that was walking the fine line of nearly
being garbage?

I Pack my orders every day the same way. As I delete the lot/line off my .bsx
file I toss the bagged lot into Lego box that I have been using for quite some
time now. It's one half of the Lego ideas Birds set. It has always been
the perfect size, 95% of my orders fit in there and then just pour into a bubble
mailer.

 
Set No: 21301  Name: Birds
* 
21301-1 (Inv) Birds
580 Parts, 2015
Sets: LEGO Ideas (CUUSOO)

I went to go pull an order and nearly had a panic attack looking for the thing,
wondering if it got tossed with the trash run I did on Saturday. Then I found
it and realized I just might be a little crazy.

Any others have similar oddities they would like to share?

I have a little 6x6x2 inch box that I use for pulling orders and ran into the
same situation after a birthday party for my daughter a few months back. Found
out on of the kid was using the lid as a ramp for cars in another room. It was
promptly replaced.
