  Only heavier damages are to be described.

I do have to disagree to some extent with that. if a brick has anything other
than normal minor wear it should be mentioned in the parts description

So.. and what is 'normal'

There is no objective classification possible for used items.

TL;DR: the screen is a real OLED screen and the “text” (image actually) changes!


Wondering when TLG will realize we want things like that… or even simple lighting
bricks!

Transparent lighting bricks.. already on the market, called Laser Pegs.
Very nice bricks, and fit with Lego.

  Keeping unopened box sets for long time

It's said it's possible that rubber part like the truck tyre degrade
or melt into paste, is
it really that bad? I am living where in the summer the temperature could reach
35 degree cel outdoor.

How about the remote control for train? Will it have any problem after long term
storage?

Probably I am talking about after 10-20 years before I may open it for the first
time

On a similar note, do lego bricks still discolor if kept in the dark? Or is the
discoloration due to ultraviolet light?

Darkness is the perfect condition for avoiding discoloration as far as I know.

I don't know about that... lego is meant to be in the light to play with,
so the materials are chosen to be colorproof in the light not in the dark

Older parts I know of have been faded in the dark, white-greyish, blue-greenish,
but when I put them in the sunlight (behind the windowglass) the color comes
back to original. Hence "proving" my point above

question? It would help if there was a different catalog entry for bricks with
pip on the side or end to help determine the age of the brick.

There won't be separate calatog entries for this. We tried that years ago.
These differences are just technical not functional. Some sellers make notes
on the items about these differences, but most don't. It is a lot of work.

Here is a list of just the 2x4 brick differences I found over the years. There
are more probably

You are expression your opinion against the official point of view of Russia.
Isn't that a dangerous thing to do? So far, as I see it you risk 15 years
of prison just by doing so, isn't that so? I really can't imagine what
it must be like to live like this... it must be frustrating and frightening..



I didn't think I'd get this kind of
  news from Bricklink! I have always been for Bricklink and believed that it was
an independent platform!

In general, this is not a reason to turn off Bricklink in Russia due to payment
systems. It's not the Lego fans' fault!

If you close Bricklink, Favorite Cubes will find a way out and we will continue
to trade on or off Bricklink. But a huge number of Lego fans will not do this,
you will simply lose them! Silly! This is Bricklink's stupidest decision
ever! I do not respect this decision!

You will change the attitude of good people who are fans of Bricklink and Lego!
There are many good people in Russia in the real sense! You just don't know
anything! I don't want you to end up in such a mess.

If you would like to change the country your store is associated with, you will
need to change the main address on your account first:

https://www.bricklink.com/pref_address.asp

Then, you would need to change your store address, which is found on your store
management page:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/management.page

After changing countries, you would need to go through the New Seller Verification
process again. This would require proof of address in the new country.

Ok, Russell. Thx.

We work hard last month and open Limited Liability Partnership in Kazakhstan.
This gave us a chance to continue working with our foreign customers. Now we
will move the Bricklink Store to this country. There are all the necessary documents
and an address to confirm the existence in this country.
Admin_Russell, I and all guys from Favorite Cubes kindly ask you to make the
address change confirmation fast, as we cannot wait 1-2 weeks.

.
This seems like a major change for your shop, are you moving all stock to the
new place in Kazakhstan? Are you also moving yourself to Kazakhstan and live
there?

Well, there are many many people losing much more due to the current circumstances.
Losing home, jobs, family, friends, life... so. This is how it works, sad as
it is. You know who to blame.
