|
| Hi all. I build with 1-1 studs and want to purchase about 30K studs in bright
colors. I have never done international shipping and I am looking for great prices.
I have found some studs but I'm not sure about import fees, etc. I wanted
to do my order stateside but I can't afford 2-5 cents a stud when I am talking
about getting the type of quantity I'm looking for.
I am a blind lego builder and the bright colors help me keep my colors alive.
Any advice? Anyone know of a store who might offer a deal on something like this?
Thank you so much!

| | Hi all,
I have a 700+ brick list I used to order parts. How can I use the list to create
a check list so I can make sure all the parts are there as they come in from
multiple sellers?
Kindly,
Lance
|
For each part, beneath the wanted quantity there is the "have quantity" which
can be used to keep track of how much you have in stock. Very useful for large
wanted lists.

Not “many,” all of them. They need to be identified.
Imagine at the factory:
“Hey, we want us to make a few of that neck part. Put the mould in machine 20.”
“Which neck part?”
“You know the one for the heads!”
“??”

I finally heard back from LEGO and you are right. "we're pretty sure the
part you're describing is a 10.2 ball snap assembly, although all sets using
it are retired. The only set that shows up in our system that uses it is set
75529 Elite Praetorian Guard, which is a Star Wars™ set."
Thanks so much for all your help! I guess I'll just add this to my collection
of odds and ends I've found in LEGO orders!

Wow, and why were they stored in your desk drawer?

There is a post office next to my work site and I was planning to mail some for
grading or was going to list some for sale. The sw0107s are mint/near mint so
I think they were headed for grading before the pandemic hit.

Hi, do you mean, i have to manually count the physical parts and subtract them
from the want lists?
Why are orders purged at all? why cant i keep my purchase history?
Why is the time horizon for the purge so small(six months)?

Could be. My question would be, if it's part of this assembly, WHY does it
have it's own part #, and if it's part of this head, why aren't the
individual parts listed. I asked the exact same question at LEGO.com and got
nothing.

Looks like you spot on here.
Look at the bottom of this head its a match. (It may be from any of the black

The design ID suggests that it is part of an assembly that was produced around
2016. That should help narrow the search down a bit.

Lovely number
It’s funny how our minds constantly look for patterns.
Generally it’s faces (in clouds, rocks, or toasted bread) but for some of us
it’s in numbers too.
Each time I work with part IDs, I catch stray half-counscious thoughts trying
to find relations between IDs or bettween the digits in an ID.
I’ve to tell myself that, no, stop looking, 93089 isn’t a palindrome… but it’s
a prime (you checked last time!) and there’s nothing really peculiar in 24246

| Thanks Maxx,
I have some including colours other than the standard, I’ll find them soon as
I’m working through my boxes at the moment.
Let you know what I have.
Cheers
Just as a footnote, if anyone has a trans clear bdoor01 then I’d be interested,
found a window in trans clear, amongst others, so the door could exist.

All those slotted, hollow and large cross support bricks.
If I was to pick a particular item it would be the flat doors for slotted bricks,
this extends to other manufacturers who produced their versions.

Do you have the BIG Kiddicraft duplo doors?
If not, let me know

enjoy or appreciate the items. I would call it collecting, but it’s not really
that. I have collections, none Lego related.
No, I spend money on these Lego, rationalizing the expenditure with “I’ll sell
it someday in our normal course of doing business here." I guess the perceived
difference for me, is that simple fact; the intention to sell at some point
Well this morning, after several cups of jo, I started pondering those categories
I’ve come to enjoy, and asked myself why? That is, why do I appreciate them,
say over others?
Are there items of particular categories within the BL catalog, you tend to
enjoy more than others? If so, what are they and why the affinity?
I’d enjoy reading your thoughts on this, and have mischievously omitted a personally
salient bit for now: my categories. I will post them, but I would kinda like
to read some of your thoughts, first
-Thanks

I recall finding my first Technic piece in Metal Blue. From then on, when I'd
place orders for projects and parts, I'd buy everything within reason in
that color. Just recently, I listed it all for sale, and it's been a liberating
feeling.

| I collect black technic pins. I don't do it on purpose, and I can't
seem to stop them from showing up. I have ba-gillions of them.

I always loved the trees. I remember when LEGO Shop at Home had
on sale for something like $5.99 a bag and I bought a bunch. I also stocked
up on when they had them (at Pick a Brick IIRC). My kids' LEGO
table had these wonderful tree-lined streets, and I also had a ton more that
I thought I would gradually sell, but I never got the chance.  Oh well.
Enjoy your LEGO while you have it.

| I love the Masonry Bricks (98283 and 15533) of any color. By far my favorite
part. Not sure why.
There is one particular Star Wars set that I love to pickup up when I see a decent
deal and that's 9490, Droid Escape. I love the Sand Troopers. I couldn't
tell you how many of those I have parted out over the last 2 years or so.

Not so much "buy" as I hoard from bulk.
-Masonry bricks. Starting hoarding them when they were like $1+ / each, but now
I still can't stop pulling them out of bulk and placing them in their own
bag.
-Barred doors and windows. One of my favorite play sets as a kid was Sheriff's
lockup and the ability to place minifigures in the jail like I was a giant overlord
mad with power.
Don't plan on actually building anything with them now, but if I do (or whoever
ends up with them should I inevitably dump them in one big lot) could probably
make an entire prison... sounds exciting, right!?
-1 x 16 bricks, these were scarce in my childhood builds.. i maybe had 2 so I'm
overcompensating as an adult.
-32 x 32 baseplates... similar to above, but only had 1.
-Technic, always thinking I'll make a cool contraption one day
-Rock formations.
-Larger finishing tiles. 2x4s and 1X6s and bigger.
Like you, the idea is that I'll probably sell it at some point, with the
excuse that I need to accumulate enough to make it "worth it".

| Love the early bricks, windows and doors for their simplicity.
All those slotted, hollow and large cross support bricks.
If I was to pick a particular item it would be the flat doors for slotted bricks,
this extends to other manufacturers who produced their versions.
