  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

  I want to complete an older set and would like bricks with the pip on the side
or end. How can I do this without asking every seller that has what I want that
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
