The part number for both is #30320, but the print is mirrored. Thanks in advance!

| As well as the light suggestion which is really important I'd get yourself
a stack of 2x4 bricks in the old and new greys (light and dark) as well as the
reddish browns and browns. If you stick your bricks together when you want to
compare your light / light bluish grey part putting them to the stack of bricks
really makes it stand out as the new and old colours will stand out next to each
other. I wouldn't be without my stack of 2x4 bricks for double-checking colours.

| | Hello,
I sort a decent bit of used lego parts and it is always a struggle for me to
tell the difference between these two colors, do any of you guys have any suggestions
on how to do it easily? Or does it just come with experience?
Thanks for your time, and if you wanna check out my store feel free, I am having
a 10% sale on parts right now.

| Personally, if it was me I'd refund his original order as it just feels the
right thing to do but not too sure otherwise as a bit unusual. It doesn't
sound like they would give you a neg by the sounds of what you've said.

| | Hi
I have this weird case where the buyer ordered from my store and send me his
own shipping label with tracking number. He said he had a better price on his
side. I say ok, no problem.
Order was returned to me because the buyer failed to pick it up at the post office
within 14 days. Of course I have to pay fees on the returned package.
I contacted the buyer a first time to inform him of the returned package and
the fees. He tells me to keep the order and that he will recontact me.
A few days ago I recontacted him again because I'm closing my store temporarily
for the holidays and asked him clearly if he wants me to cancel the order and
refund the money or if he wants me to ship it again, and charge him shipping
and the extra fees.
He said to cancel the order but keep his money. I'm not sure what I should
do, especially since the amount of the order is a few dollars more that the fees
that I had to pay. I don't want to risk any negative feedback or recourse
against me, etc.
Thanks for your advice.

| I've got a book called Lego Color Guide by Christoph Bartneck because I'm
into collecting Lego colours. The back of the book says "...ultimate reference
for 180+ colors that the Lego company produced ober the years." So quite a few.

| If it were me I'd part them out as it will be more profitable, unless you
need a fast return on your investment and they are particularly in demand sets
of course. It'll take a lot longer to sell all the parts compared to selling
the whole set but it depends on the store business model you have developed.

| | Dear Brickfriends,
I have a question for you. I just bumped today into some sets of Lego Movie 2,
at a 60% discount sale. They are NIB, sealed, but the boxes are slightly damaged.
Would you suggest to part out and sell the parts or to try to sell them as whole
sets?
Is there anyone more experienced who has a good suggestion to give?
Thanks!

| Yes, thank you. I wondered about Rebrickable but thought that was more geared
towards sets.

I have been thinking of asking for that feature here. Definitely ought to be
in the seller tools.
I guess you could do it at rebrickable but you'll need to enter all of the
pieces.

|
| Hi, can anyone help with the diameters of pneumatic hoses, please?
I have a huge amount to list and I have noted some are thinker than the Bricklink
catalog of 4mm. I understand the length can vary as Lego used to supply a 'whole'
length with the user needing to cut to the correct size.
I have some that vary in diameter from 4.3 / 4.4mm and some that are slightly
smaller than 4mm (3.7/3.8). Would this variance be normal for this part?
Many thanks.

| | Hello there,
Just a thought everyone.
I’ve just taken a couple of Lego kits out of the washing machine (which if you’re
not into Lego, may sound rather odd!?)
As I lay the bricks out to dry, I needed to separate a few that have randomly
joined together. This made me think of the infinite monkey theorem.
This states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for
an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the
complete works of William Shakespeare.
My thought/question is – if you had a washing machine run an infinite number
of wash cycles, with the same kit, would you, on one occasion find that the bricks
have joined together in the correct order and the kit is correctly built?
For more detail, have a look at this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem
Anyone able to prove the theorem?
Regards
Mark

| Hi,
Does anyone know if these are Lego? I was about to toss them but seem to remember
these in the past quite some time ago. Thanks.
