The plain BLY minifig head seems to have disappeared from the DB???

I think it is currently out of stock from any seller (?)

But why is it now gone on the list of colors for this part?

There are only a few pearl dark gray (pdg) monofigs out there and claim to have
pdg hands as well. I could not find on BL the original minifigs where these pdg
hands came from.
Any ideas?

There have been several occasions when I had to place a second order just after
placing one at a store. Sometimes, the system would create a second 'batch'
order and combine it with the first one. The second invoice would usually have
a price + shipping marked as 'TBD'.

At some shops however, the system just creates a second order and charges a new
shipping fee outright.

Are the above preferences set by the store owner?

Has there ever been a classic space minifig in light gray?
I keep seeing photos of it in MOCs and on sale on eBay but I could not find it
in the BL or BrickSet database.

Are the designers free to offer their instructions for sale, like at Rebrickable
if they don't end up in the top 5?

Why do some bricks (belonging to the same set, from the same bag) turn yellow
and others don't?

I recently bought an old SW set from ebay (#9500). It looks like the box was
damaged from improper storage but the bags were intact. This is an old set and
I was actually expecting everything to be somewhat yellowed.

When I opened the bags, some bricks of the same shape and color were "yellowed"
but others weren't! Given that it was a starship, it almost looks as if the
finished model was battle-damaged! LOL

It wasn't so much that plastic turns yellow over time that bothers me, but
that some apparently do not? I also happen to collect die cast models with plastic
parts, and in those cases, all plastic components turn yellow over time.

So it baffles me why 3 or 4 of the same brick within the same numbered bag yellowed
and others didn't? Is this merely because of uneven (heat?) exposure or because
they were from different batches in the factory (and therefore the older ones
turned yellow and the newer batches need more time)?

Item 40176 is a SW Scarif Stormtrooper in polybag, but it comes with a podium
that attaches to an adjacent one.

My question is whether this is supposed to be part of a particular collection
of minifigs where they are all in a podium, and can be attached together, the
same way the 20th anniversary minifigs are supposed to be displayed together.

I am a bit confused because this poly bag was included with other poly bag minifigs
that do not come with a podium. Further, there are about two or three more poly
bag minifigs with their respective podium but they do not appear to be in the
"same" series as this.

At the end of this all, was the podium just an experiment by Lego?

It was 2306 Central Time when I hit "order" on the Lego web site. All the items
in my basket were still 'In stock.'
It took about 12+ hours before I got an email confirmation (usually it would
be immediate).
When I did receive it, Santa's Sleigh and the Disney Castle micro build were
already out of stock!
Crazy! In six or so minutes, their entire stock were wiped out!

Is there a quick way to cancel out items on a "wanted list" from an existing
Lego set?

For example, I uploaded an item list for a Star Wars X-wing Fighter from a Brickvault
custom build instructions. If say for example I buy a Lego set (e.g. 75273 Poe
Dameron's X-Wing Fighter), is there a way to cancel out the parts available
from this set from my custom build wanted list? Or would I just have to do this
one by one?
