Anyway, in those years I’ve developed what could be termed: category likes. Certain
categories within the catalog I tend to buy from when bored, simply because I
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

Hair and Headgear as they're the one component that really helps define a
minifigure. Assembling them onto a head is also very satisfying
Hair, Headgear and Heads are one of the main things my store specializes in.
Small and easy to store with a good demand for them. They certainly work for
me

I love printed tiles. (not stickers, but printed) I saw a mosiac made of them
at my first Brickworld Chicago and it just kinda stuck with me. I am happy whenever
I get to add a new one to the catalog so the artists out there have more to work
with.
Second place would be all the minifigs that are dressed up in costumes.
I also love sorting and selling anything from the Technic or Bionicle categories.

| Hi all,
in March of this year I was searching for some parts. I found them only for sale
at Australian stores NOT shipping to Europe.
After my cry-out to my fellow BL-ers here, LegOhHeaven stepped in to the rescue.
Now, about 2 months later, my parts have arrived safely, items even packed as
a gift (see picture).
Well thanks for the help LegOhHeaven and the time you took to help me complete
some projects!
I am glad, happy and thankful to be part of this community !!!

I'm guessing that the most of those images are .GIF files.
.GIF files are made up of a series of static images that are shown one after
the other to produce an animation.
You can use online .GIF creators to produce your .GIF, however you still have
to provide all the static images to make the .GIF. Creating the original animation
frames is the really time consuming part of creating a .GIF. Note: .GIF files
are limited to 256 colours (IIRC), so will scale down the palette of your original
images to 256 (if they consist of more than 256); results can vary...
A quick glance on Google found this online creator - https://ezgif.com/maker
I can't vouch for its effectiveness, but it looks like it should meet your
requirements.
Once you've saved your .GIF to a hosting site, simply link to it to see your
animation on your store.
In theory!!!

Thank you for such an in-depth explanation and sharing the link! I will try my
hand at this and see what I can produce. I will post updates after.

| Hi guys,
I'm looking to list the VIP rewards baseball caps (the classic space, octan
and silly face cap for kids) for sale. Any idea what the codes are? I tried looking
under gears but they didn't seem to be listed yet. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

You may need to specify a bit more as there are multiple versions of the DeLorean.
These are the figures from the new set (At least 2 stores have them in stock
as of now):
The license plate in that set has two version but they are both stickered 2x4
tiles. The sticker sheet nor the stickered parts have been added to the catalog
yet.
And these are the entries for the older ideas version of the DeLorean:
[P=3069bpb0288,1]
[P=3069bpb0287,4]

Thanks Pete. Why are they so rare and limited? Set has been out for 3 or 4
months now
|

Also I think it's pretty much been sold out since the release day. Which
means a couple things:
1) If anyone on BrickLink was planning on inventorying it, if they did not get
it day 1 they still don't have access to it. As of right now the inventory
for that set has not been reserved, so presumably nobody is even working on it.
2) People don't often part out sets if they only have 1 or 2 of them,
especially bigger sets like this. Since it's been sold out since day one
it highly unlikely that many people (if any) have more than 1 or 2 of the set
and thus even if the inventory was ready not many would be parted out.

I have the set, won't get around to working on it till at least the end of
the month. I'm redoing the flooring throughout my house and all my Lego
is just moving from one room to the next. Forget all the new sets that have
come in. I didn't want to reserve the set incase someone could get to in
sooner. If it's still out there, I'll be sure to work on it when I open
mine up. None the less, the stickered parts won't be added for who knows
how long. I have stickered parts from the new Ideas Sonic set and the Designer
Sheriff's Safe that have been waiting for months so even if I get to it,
who knows how long it will be for the stickered ones.

It isn't really a lego product that you are selling if it is signed by them
so best not to limit yourself to a lego only site. Stick it into an auction.

|
| Hello Bricklink community,
I create LEGO mosaic artwork (www.brickmaniac.com & Instagram @brickmosaics).
I am gearing up for a large community build project involving ~70 city kids this
summer. As a way to punctuate this event, I would like to offer participants
a chance to build and take home with them a LEGO minifigure of their own design.
I scratched together about 30 minifigures from my own collection, but I need
more minifigs and extra parts to insure that each participant can have the opportunity
to get one. My budget also isn't sufficient to afford the purchase new minifigures
in this quantity, which is why I am asking the Bricklink community for help.
I am pretty sure there must be some extra minifigs & parts out there, given our
large LEGO community!
The ask: I would really appreciate it if you have any minifigures or
parts to share. If possible, I hope to have parts/figures with different skin
tones, so that kids of different skin tones can make a figure that looks like
they do, if they want. The minifigs/parts do not need to be brand new.
At this point, I am looking for anything (heads, torsos with arms/hands, legs,
arms/hands, hair, helmet, etc.), so please direct message me if you have something
that you're willing to contribute.
I have a stamp collection and I am able and happy to reimburse for shipping.
Thanks in advance for your generosity!!
Aaron
P.S. I cannot take credit for this great LEGO meme, I found it on the internet.
