  So I have had 3 buyers message me today saying the orders I just picked this
evening have tracking numbers that say they were delivered within the last week
somewhere else in the USA. I recall reading on the forum before that tracking
numbers are reused, but it just seems strange that I have had 3 like that today.
Does anyone else have an issue like this? Will they update when they are scanned
at the local post office when I drop them off?

Ben

I've had the same issue with at least two packages I sent via Shipstation
yesterday. One I shipped from Minneapolis to St. Paul. Tracking # shows it was
sent last week from NY to TX. The other I sent from Mpls to Kansas. Tracking
shows it was sent last month from TX to Denver!!!

I hope they resolve this internally without having to buy and create new labels
and delay the whole process if they come back to the shippers/sellers!!

  Hi all,

Is there a generic way I can put something on all my order requests without having
to manually send messages to each seller each time I buy?

I've recently had a spate of orders arrive in food boxes (e.g. muesli bar
boxes) - which is a huge problem for me since I have a bunch of food allergies
and intolerances and I'd really rather not have those set off by my Lego
orders.

Thanks and best regards,
-J

Due to your severe allergy, and levels of food contamination that many would
not even realize exist, you should include it in your comments. Some sanitation
sprays that folks use contain citrus.

Personally, I like the concept of reuse and have noticed that this is more common
from European sellers than US sellers. I would hate to see a policy that required
sellers to use all new packing materials. Out of hundreds of orders, I have
only once received items in packing that still had any noticeable food residue.


We often reuse cereal/bar/LEGO/pasta boxes to be as green as possible. We regularly
get thanked or have positive FB/comments for doing this.

I never thought about the allergy potential before. I just put a notice at the
top of our terms page to ask buyers to request to not use them if they have severe
allergies.

challenge was to do as much brick built line work as possible. The next update
to the build will make it so all the buttons can be pushed and some smaller detail
improvements. I have submitted my MOC to the LEGO Ideas site and would love your
support.

That is awesome. I own an original 808 and wish I had more time to mess around
with it. Sorting & listing take up too much of my spare time these days.

YOU HAVE ONE!? Um would you mind taking some pictures for me. I have done this
whole build with just images online but the sides have been hard to find good
pictures of. It’s got some really unfriendly LEGO geometry. I also could use
a few pictures next to a ruler to just get a feel for how close in size to an
actual 808 I have gotten.

Dave

Sure, either respond with your email address or send it to mine : atlantisdaviddj@gmail.com

Will be much easier than trying to post the photos here...

  Finally listing a small chunk of a huge bag of Bionicle parts and came across:
part 43855 - Bionicle Mask Akaku Nuva in Pearl Light Gray

While it doesn't show as a known color for any set in this color, I found
in another thread that this color variant appeared in two mask collection sets.

I'm wondering why this color specifically sells (and has sold) for $150+.
The other colors that are almost as rare sell for $5-10 or less.

Making me wish I started going through these Bionicle/Hero Factory parts sooner...

As a person who has sold three of the last eight of these, I can help. The original
mask came in white with the Set 8571. Each of six unique Nuva masks had a starting
color.

Then sets 8597 and 8598 introduced all six masks in all six colors.
AND THEN sets 8599 and 8600 introduced the very rare pearl light gray masks ("Protodermis")
along with krana. Five of these six command the $150+ price tag. Sadly, the Miru
Nuva mask is worth far less, for reasons I don't yet know.

Thanks for the info. This will motivate me to look through the rest of my Bionicle
accumulation over the years. I'm sure I have more of this part, just can't
recall the colors. I had been saving everything in case I needed a spare part
to complete a set but it is getting to the point where I'd rather sell them
and free up the shelf space.
