No, but I have definite issues with older blue pieces and even some older green.

Oh, yes! I've had about 8-9 shipments over the years where the outer box
was fine and the set box looked like it was drop kicked or stomped. In the
beginning, I used to say oh well, luck of the draw. Not any more. With the high
price of some of these sets, I expect a decent box. As others suggest, call lego,
explain the damage of contents and that you'd like a replacement. They always
handled it well. It doesn't always work out to do this at the holiday though,
especially if it's a gift, with most sets selling out very quickly.

Every time I received something like that from Lego, a telephone call to the

| You probably have newer parts of the 1X1 plate with clip piece. In your picture,
the ones with the green check mark are both older versions of that part, and
since their clips are thinner, they fit into the headlight bricks better.
and
are the ones you want. They're specific variants, so generally sellers who
have them for sale really do have those versions.

Not that bad.
I think two things are happening:
1. we want to make things too perfect: little holes here and there are not that
bad!
2. “you’re holding it wrong” / going at it backward. The corner should be built
first. It should be easier to adapt the sides to an abritrary corner than trying

| I can't answer all your questions, but I believe they upload the set inventories
the moment they become available for purchase to the public.
It is so that customers who have broken/missing pieces in those sets can get
them through the customer service on the site.
When the parts will be in stock to order on B&P, I do not know. That could take
weeks, maybe even months.
And you are probably right about the bots, that makes most sense. Or else some
very dedicated fella did upload almost 1000 new parts to brickset today

Reddish Brown and Dark Red were/are notorious for being unbelievably brittle.
I believe LEGO corrected this issue around 2018, so you'll find that some
of their older parts are typically more fragile. Plates from pre-2018 might as
well be a one-time use part.

You found the Achilles heel in building LEGO houses: these kinds of angles are
near impossible to build.
If you go for best looks, you might want to use
and cut up the corner tiles. Since that approach would be a no-go for many:
You could approximate the angle by covered with but you won't
end up at the exact angle due to the slopes of your roof. You would need to cover
the corners by or even some lesser known part as

That's quite poor then. I hate it when companies expect you to follow them

| Has anybody received their Designer Programme Kakapo 910017 yet?
Mine arrived yesterday, and it was a really enjoyable build. Instructions are
download-only, but I have no complaints there. There are quite a few spare pieces
in the set (I counted 74), mostly 1x1 plates, so there's plenty of scope
to customise the model's plumage.
One oddity I noticed is that the wings are slightly asymmetrical: there's
a 3x2 plate missing from the underside of the RH wing. It's virtually invisible,
but I just thought it peculiar as the rest of the bird is completely symmetrical.
Other Kakapo owners, I hope you're enjoying the set. Let us know what you
think.

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

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…).

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!

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.

| Hi there,
I am new to LEGO, I have built about 20 sets and would like to have a go at making
my own MOC, however, I am stuck for the best way to select the bricks I need.
I would like to try my hand at something simple like a small log cabin with a
tree for example.
How did you decide your first bricks?
TIA

| Can someone explain RRP to me?
Is the price on the LEGO website RRP?
Is see, in Ireland, that some online stores use an RRP that is 5-10 euro higher
than LEGO Ireland.
It is frustrating because it is confusing or misleading. Example: Set cost 50
euro on LEGO, advertised on random website for 45 discounted from 55. I think,
nice 10 euro off, but its 5 euro off.
Where do these webshops get their RRP from?
Thanks

In my experience (I've seen lots of old tires, many much older than 1998
- in fact the picture of 3740 is one of mine) they stay in good condition. The
primary issue seems to be toothmarks - I guess from children trying to remove
them from hubs. I have seen a few tires crack, maybe 1 or 2 get dry-rotted.

I have several of these:
and others from the same time (1970s/80s), and they are mostly as good as new,
not counting marks from usage - the axles sometimes start to rust, but the tires
are fine. The light-gray rubber does turn into something terrible though, as
peregrinator wrote. But with the black ones I've hardly ever had problems.

| They become harder and harder
until the day they just "are" rock solid
so you can no more remove tires from wheel, they can't flex
you play with them that way
and play
and play
someday in the future they'll break in 2? dunno, mines are hard as concrete
and probably will last another century, I mean, they seems so resistant

| 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.
