Should he not have a fair part instead of a helmet (as in the set image)? Just
sold him on BO and it is listed with hair there, luckily I had another fig I

| Yeah that's a better shot, looks like TLB. I collect colour and varients
of colours and just checked my TLB for 1x1 studs and there are quite a few I've
collected from lighter to darker shades, definately not that consstant. Good
idea about the UV light, definately a tool worth having. Fun too lighting bricks

Thanks but Arghhhh! I just found some TMB parts and they don't match, so
in this photo it's TLB on top TMB on bottom and the ones I thought were TMB
in the middle which clearly aren't. Could they just be a off TLB?

| If you are planning on selling then just buy something from a store that you
can resell when you open a store. Also as a seller it is really important you
know how the system works from a buyers perspective so making a purchase makes
sense.

Find something you want to buy, find a seller with it, check if they leave feedback,
buy what you want, pay for it, receive it, leave feedback and they will probably
leave one for you.

No worries! If you look at this part of a Minifigures description that you can

In addition, there aren't any product listings on bricklink for fake lego
(this is different than if a seller sells fake products which will get them banned)
Also this applies to any Minifigure not just marvel.

| It's genuine Lego but I'm not too sure how it would affect the value.
Technically if sold here on Bricklink it wouldn't be the correct part but
on eBay may be okay. As it is a fairly valuable fig I guess whoever was to buy
would want the correct parts.

I am a new store with only 6 orders so far. the last 4 orders I sent out have
all received their parts, but haven't left any feedback. It's been a
few days for most of them and I don't think they are going to leave any.
I have posted in my terms that I will leave feedback if they do. The 4 buyers
were all new, most of them with zero feedback. Should I leave the buyers positive
feedback anyway since they were all perfectly fine and maybe it looks better
for my biz if I do, or should I stick to my terms and not leave any because
I really need their feedback too? You would think if they were trying to get
the feedback to become sellers they would be aware of all this. I also don't
want to look like I forgot to leave feedback. Let me know what you think!

I'm thinking about selling more used bricks from my private collection in

Currently I have 98% new and 2% used parts so it's quite easy for me to organize
by putting all used parts in a separate drawer, no matter what they look like.
Used parts are roughly sorted by type: brick, tile, technic and so on.
I wonder how other sellers organize their new and used lots.
Do you put them in the same parts bin, separated in different bags (new vs. used)
or do you have two separate systems, one with new and one with used parts?
Or something else?
All thoughts welcome!

really makes it stand out as the new and old colours will stand out next to each

Order was returned to me because the buyer failed to pick it up at the post office

I contacted the buyer a first time to inform him of the returned package and
the fees. He tells me to keep the order and that he will recontact me.
A few days ago I recontacted him again because I'm closing my store temporarily
for the holidays and asked him clearly if he wants me to cancel the order and
refund the money or if he wants me to ship it again, and charge him shipping

He said to cancel the order but keep his money. I'm not sure what I should

Just a thought everyone.
I’ve just taken a couple of Lego kits out of the washing machine (which if you’re

As I lay the bricks out to dry, I needed to separate a few that have randomly
joined together. This made me think of the infinite monkey theorem.
This states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for
an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the
complete works of William Shakespeare.
My thought/question is – if you had a washing machine run an infinite number
of wash cycles, with the same kit, would you, on one occasion find that the bricks
have joined together in the correct order and the kit is correctly built?
For more detail, have a look at this page:

LOL, this one made me chuckle 
Ok, so there's this setting in My Store - Settings - Management called
"Show price guide as a summary (pop up)."
When they remade the inventory pages in new code, we had a silly situation where
checking the box would result in having the pop up in the one version, and the
full page in the other version. Unchecking it would do the reverse. I had reported
that long ago.
Seems now they "fixed" it by making *BOTH* pages respond in the wrong way
:
When you UNcheck the box, you DO get the popup version. When you CHECK the
box, you get the FULL PAGE version.
Let's say that at least it's good to see that Bricklink has been putting
"some" work into it, and that the old and new version of the pages finally respond
the same way...
So the answer to your question is: Uncheck the popup box, and you will get the
popup again

not seem LBG at all, more LG. They blend in nice in a pile of LG. However this

This part is being sold for €.10 to €.20 in LBG and €6 to €8 in LG.

Trouble is that the category "minifig-torso-assembly-decorated" has 4k items.
There is no option to SORT by COLOR, even this data is in the database of BL.
When not knowing the origin of the item, the basecolor (of body and arms) is
the only thing I know for sure, so I would like to narrow down the list by this,
then look over the pictures until I find which one it is.
Tried this in Brickstore, it also does not allowing sorting this category by

It's this one: https://static.bricklink.com/renovate/js/build/cookieNotice.build.js
TL;DR: You're fine, you can disregard this particular alert.
At a glance it looks like a regular minified Javascript library file. The only
suspect thing is that it provides a base64 encoded data: URL as a SourceMap which
is used to debug the library even when it is minified.
This is probably what tripped Avast as base64 encoded data is routinely used
in malware to conceal a harmful payload, but I don't think it was warranted

The color Dark Pink was changed around the same time that the new grays replaced
the old grays in 2004. So there are two true distinct shades of Dark Pink:
LEGO color 22 Medium Reddish Violet (early Dark Pink)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14777415117/
LEGO color 221 Bright Purple (modern Dark Pink)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14988645798/
I don't know if this explains the difference in the color of your parts,
but I thought you should be aware of the history of the color.
Cheers,
Randy

ever member to take this position, Hygrotus.
He has steadily worked his way up to this level from his years of being an outstanding
and reliable contributor, to a special class of contributor known as an Inventories
Verifier, to one year experience as an Inv Admin, and then most recently about
14 months as a Catalog Associate. We are pleased that he has stuck with the program
and now is going to forge ahead.
We are combining the two "halves" of the system for many reasons, but the main
one being efficiency. If only one admin is available on a given weekend, for
example, we can take care of contributions on both sides, which are often dependent
on each other.
We will retain the Catalog Associate and Inv Admin positions for the purpose
of training new Catalog Admins. They will be considered transitory positions.

It happened yesterday, and the color does exist.
Basically, the one and only Trans-Bright Green that was in the catalog up until
yesterday contained two different colors: one that was pre-2010 (lighter and
less saturated) and one that is post-2010 (brighter and more saturated).
Pre-2010 color:

Post-2010 color:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15041232150/
The new color was added to separate out the pre-2010 from the post-2010. All
Clikits pieces that were listed as Trans-Bright Green will be moved to the new
Trans-Light Bright Green as well as some parts that were in DUPLO and Belville
sets.
Cheers,
Randy
P.S. Another color was also added yesterday called "Clikits Lavender" which describes
the lavender-type color used only in the Clikits line.

| I say yes to this too, I had my first neutral quite early on and it killed my
100% there and then. It was a positive too and the customer wasn't sure how
to change it. On the flip side it means you don't ever have to worry about
maintaining 100% anymore But yeah feedback I believe has become more and
more dated across platforms. I only ever bother to look at feedback if it's
a significant amount I'm spending.

It’s a valid point made by member agulus, that has unfortunately been ongoing
as an issue, in the face of contrary input towards the feedback policy.
I’ve brought it up in the past, that a neutral should be just that, neutral,
and not effect your feedback percentage number displayed, up or down.
Beyond the obvious reasons, is the fact that there are many newish buyers that
mistakenly see BL’s neutral, as neutral. Silly people Meanwhile, it continues
to result in an amount of havoc in that arena of BrickLink.
I look forward to reading your honest thoughts

Recent changes:
- There are two new colors: Coral and Trans-Light Green
- Some of the smaller problems were solved by changes in set inventories. I did
not check all of them.
-----
Here is my UPDATED list:
There is actually a surprising number of BrickLink colors that contain multiple
LEGO colors. In many cases this does not cause any catalog conflicts because
the parts do not exist in both design-color combinations. In a few cases there
are (possible) problems.
In order to help gain an oversight over the possible problems, I have split up
my list in a few sections.
- BrickLink colors that match one LEGO color
- BrickLink colors containing multiple LEGO colors (without known catalog conflicts)
- BrickLink colors containing multiple LEGO colors (with known catalog conflicts)
- BrickLink colors without LEGO name
- LEGO colors without BrickLink name
- BrickLink colors that are confusing or split up LEGO colors (including all
gold, silver copper)
Within each section, the colors are in the same order as the BrickLink catalog.

25 Salmon
= 101 Medium Red (Scala)
= 123 Bright Reddish Orange (Duplo salmon)
27 Rust
= 13 Red Orange (Duplo cows, Fabuland heads)
= The other BrickLink Rust parts are probably an odd version of 21 Bright Red
(?) but that color is so different that the separate listing is justified.
8 Brown
= 25 Earth Orange
= 187 Metallic Earth Orange (for Bionicle Rahkshi parts 44807, 44138, 44140)
= “Homemaker brown” The part x197 Homemaker headgear is a dark brown color.
68 Dark Orange

34 Lime
= 14 Pastel Green (Fabuland, Duplo)

6 Green
= 28 Dark Green
= 186 Metallic Dark Green (for Bionicle Rahkshi parts 44807, 44138, 44140, often
sold as Chrome Green or metallic green)
37 Medium Green
= 29 Medium Green
= 233 Light Faded Green (for part 44403c04)
48 Sand Green
= 151 Sand Green
= 210 Faded Green (for part 44513)
89 Dark Purple
= 268 Medium Lilac
= 197 Bright Lilac (for part 44611)
47 Dark Pink
= 22 Medium Reddish Violet (approximately 1994-2004)
= 221 Bright Purple (approximately 2004-now)
There is probably a lot of overlap between these colors, so theoretically there
must be catalog conflicts, but the colors are so close to each other and have
so much variation that it is nearly impossible to tell the difference.
104 Bright Pink
= 222 Light Purple
= 295 Flamingo Pink (for parts clikits141, clikits135, clikits135pb01, clikits100pb04)
Transparent Colors
19 Trans-Yellow
= 44 Transparent Yellow
= 234 Transparent Fire Yellow (Lighter than Transparent Yellow, used in Clikits
only)
108 Trans-Bright Green
= 227 Transparent Bright Yellowish Green (approximately 2003-2006)
= 311 Transparent Bright Green (Since 2010)
74 Trans-Medium Blue
= 143 Transparent Fluorescent Blue
= 293 Transparent Light Royal Blue (used om Clikits)
There might be a third Trans-Medium Blue color in the Clikits parts.
50 Trans-Dark Pink
= 113 Transparent Medium Reddish Violet
= 158 Transparent Fluorescent Red (for Bionicle part 32554)
Metallic colors
70 Metallic Green
= 200 Lemon Metallic (for Bionicle Kraata and Krana)
= The Metallic Green technic panels have a surface coating, and I do not know
what the official name is for the Metallic Green tube in the technic sets.
Glitter Colors
101 Glitter Trans-Clear
= 117 Transparent With Glitter
= 122 Nature with Glitter (Duplo spider web)
BRICKLINK COLORS CONTAINING MULTIPLE LEGO COLORS
(WITH KNOWN CATALOG CONFLICTS)
Solid colors
2 Tan
= 5 Brick Yellow
= 224 Light Brick Yellow (for part ava005 and the hair of figure 47205pb006).
Figure 47205pb006 has been found with hair both in tan and in “light tan” color.
29 Earth Orange
= 12 Light Orange Brown
= 128 Dark Nougat (used in some Harry Potter sets for parts 30374 (wand), flute
(30374px1), part 3901 (Vernon Dursley hair)
There is a catalog conflict on part 3901 and maybe 30374.
73 Medium Violet
= 112 Medium Bluish Violet (approximately 1999-2003)
= 219 Lilac (approximately 2003-2005)
= 213 Medium Royal Blue (for part 44688 in set 7495-1)
= 218 Reddish Lilac (used in Clikits, closer to modern Lavender)
There is some overlap between Medium Bluish Violet (Blueish Medium Violet) and
Lilac (Reddish Medium Violet). Both are known as part 3001 for example. The different
Medium Violet colors are VERY different. This causes confusion.
23 Pink
= 17 Rose (approximately 1992-1997 Paradisa pink)
= 9 Light Reddish Violet (approximately 1997-2006)
Several plates are known to exist in both colors. The Clikits Pink parts are
probably all Trans-Pink, misnamed because of the appearance of the material used.
32 Light Orange
= 121 Medium Yellowish Orange
= 225 Warm Yellowish Orange (for Duplo plate 8x16 part 6490)
Some Q-elements are known in both colors.
Transparent Colors
14 Trans-Dark Blue
= 43 Transparent Blue
= 156 Transparent Deep Blue (use outside watch parts is uncertain)
There is a conflict in the watch links, but not much is known about them. (See
https://www.flickr.com/photos/111441268@N03/15417687510/)
51 Trans-Purple
= 126 Transparent Bright Bluish Violet
= 236 Transparent Bright Reddish Lilac
Conflict in Clikits parts
Pearl Colors
77 Pearl Dark Gray
= 148 Dark Grey Metallic (approximately 2002-2010)
= 316 Titanium Metallic (since 2010)
There are conflicts, such as part x110c01.
BRICKLINK COLORS WITHOUT LEGO NAME
Solid colors
56 Light Pink
= Possibly a Scala/Belville clothes color. Probably this color is mainly used
for the “Paradisa pink” color.
Chrome Colors
These colors did not receive a LEGO color ID because they were treated as a surface
decoration just like the printed parts.
57 Chrome Antique Brass
122 Chrome Black
52 Chrome Blue
64 Chrome Green
82 Chrome Pink
LEGO COLORS WITHOUT BRICKLINK NAME
N/A - 109 (PC) Black IR (Probably part of IR assemblies only )
N/A - 132 Black Glitter (Original box for set 7159-1)
N/A - 144 Dark Army Green (watch parts)
N/A - 146 Sand Violet Metallic (watch parts)
N/A - 220 Light Lilac (Torso of 47394pb028)
The trunks of the Granulated trees are also a unique color of brown. No name
is known for this color for both BrickLink and LEGO.
BRICKLINK COLORS THAT ARE CONFUSING OR SPLIT UP LEGO COLORS
The silver, gold and copper colored parts cause most problems, because they can
have a completely different appearance depending on material used (ABS, polypropylene,
rubber) and part shape. In the years before any official color information was
available, we invented different color names for parts that actually were made
in a single color.
Solid Colors
7 Blue
= 23 Bright Blue
= 185 Metallic Bright Blue (for Bionicle Rahkshi parts 44807, 44138, 44140)
LEGO 185 Metallic Bright Blue is split up between Blue (for parts that do not
look pearly because of the plastic used) and 78 Metal Blue (for parts that do
look pearly).
Tiny Blue
42 Medium Blue
= 102 Medium Blue
= 188 Tiny Blue (for part 44534)
= 269 Tiny-Medium Blue (for part 44403c02)
62 Light Blue
= 45 Light Blue
= 188 Tiny Blue (for part 44461)
LEGO 188 Tiny Blue is split up between Medium Blue and Light Blue, depending
on which set it occurred in and how the person doing the inventory solved the
problem of how to classify a new unknown color.
Speckle Colors
Speckle colors are covered in a speckled coating. The speckles are not part of
the plastic itself.
111 Speckle Black-Silver
= 304 (ink) Cool Silver, Diffuse on Black parts
117 Speckle DBGray-Silver
= 304 (ink) Cool Silver, Diffuse on DB-Gray parts
151 Speckle Black-Gold
= No LEGO (ink) color ID is known
116 Speckle Black-Copper
= 306 (ink) Copper, Diffuse on Black part
LEGO 304 is split up depending on the color of the base-part it is applied to.
It does not cause any catalog problems, but it might need a “color note” to explain
the relation with the official LEGO color names for future reference.
Pearl Colors
Metallic Bright Blue
78 Metal Blue
= 145 Sand Blue Metallic
= 185 Metallic Bright Blue (for part 54005pb01 and the hubs of 54007c02)
Silver, Gold and Copper colors
Silver, Gold and Copper colors are made in a few different ways:
- As a color of the plastic itself
- as a shiny surface finish, called “chrome” on BrickLink.
- as a matte surface finish, called “metallic” on BrickLink.
- Painted, sprayed or brushed onto the part as a surface decoration. (In those
cases LEGO will usually specify the color of the part underneath the decoration,
with a description of the decoration in the part name). These are usually called
“metallic”, but I think I have seen a few inconsistencies (I did not check yet).
The naming conventions LEGO used for these colors are as confusing as the way
BrickLink dealt with differences in appearance caused by the use of different
materials. Initially LEGO only assigned a name to the color of the plastic itself.
Until somewhere around 2006 (?) all surface coatings were seen as decorations
only. Then a few color names were introduced that describe the appearance of
the brick. Since somewhere around 2009-2012 (?) those names have been replaced
by “ink colors” with labels (No 1000, No 1100) in the part name to describe the
surface finish.
So what is what?..
Gold colors
Chrome Colors
21 Chrome Gold
= until approximately 2010: surface decoration (no number assigned);
= later: 310 Metalized Gold
= present: 335 Gold Ink (probably with “No 1100” in the official LEGO part name)
(I am not sure about the exact dates for the changes in the LEGO naming conventions
for this color)
Pearl Colors
61 Pearl Light Gold = 127 Gold
115 Pearl Gold = 297 Warm Gold
81 Flat Dark Gold = 147 Sand Yellow Metallic
Metallic Colors
65 Metallic Gold
= 1998-2006: surface decoration (no number assigned);
= 2006-2009: LEGO 299 Warm Gold, Drum Lacquered
= 2009-present: LEGO 335 Gold ink (ink (probably with “No 1000” in the part name)
Silver colors
Chrome Colors
22 Chrome Silver
= until approximately 2010: surface decoration (no number assigned);
= later: 309 Metalized Silver
= present: 336 Silver Ink with (probably with “No 1100” in the official LEGO
part name)
(I am not sure about the exact dates for the changes in the LEGO naming conventions
for this color)
Pearl Colors
66 Pearl Light Gray and 95 Flat Silver
- Bricklink uses Pearl Light Gray for parts that “look swirly”
- Bricklink uses Flat Silver for parts that “do not look swirly” The definition
used can be found here: http://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1096 I think
the definition is very confusing and open to interpretation.
- Bricklink uses Flat Silver for all 315 Silver Metallic parts (since 2010).
= 131 Silver (approximately 1998-2010)
= 296 Cool Silver (briefly replaced 131 Silver in 2006)
= 315 Silver Metallic (since 2010)
= 179 Silver Flip/Flop (for Bionicle Kanohi mask. Used only in Bionicle mask
packs from 2002. Because these packs with random parts are not inventoried, no
BrickLink color is known for these parts. They are currently sold as Metallic
Silver, flat silver, pearl light gray, pearl dark gray)
Parts in softer plastics that didn't show the pearl-ness much used to be
considered Flat Silver on BL (even though they LEGO considered them to be the
same color as Pearl Light Gray).
Metallic Colors
67 Metallic Silver

| Definitely list them for sale as there's a market for brittle blue. You
could either do then as the normal cat listing and put notes in the comments
field or you could do them as a custom item, make sure you put the words brittle
blue in the description as this could be picked up on a search (I've searched
this colour before). Would be interested myself if you have one in a 2x4 brick.

you are correct.
I destroyed 1 of the bricks with no issues. So I have 21 2x2, 1 2x4, 2 1x2, 1

Is there a market and how would I place in my store?

| This issue does crop up quite often, and the reason shops will have a min buy
(mine included) is that if an order comes in for a very small amount then the
shop will actually be paying to send the order out (it's all to do with min
Paypal fees etc).
What I would suggest is if there's a shop with items you want but under their
min buy just talk to them, most will be accommodating. I've had plenty of
people message me this and always allow the purchase to go through as long as
I am able to tag on an axtra 50p to make sure I don't run at a loss. It's
just a practical
I know it can seem frustrating but it is just the mechanics of running a store
without hitting a loss. It is not the shops profiting or any bad marketing decisions.

| | This is a fairly bad marketing idea for shops that probably don't work out
in the shops favour. I know a majority of my browsing has ended up in me taking
my business and money to another shop. Where I am either buying from someone
without a min buy, or selecting other items I actually want to hit that minimum
purchase amount. So my suggestion is to add a donation field/possibility to finish
passing the required purchase line.
I have only made 3 purchases since I joined but these 3 people are profiting
by shop deterrence over the min buy. One of which was a difference of 3 cents
to the min buy vs. paying 1 cent more for the same thing because it didn't
have one.

far 2x2, 2x3 and 2x6 brick, few slopes and plates and a 1x8 tile. The damn 2x4

3x1 inverted slopes

2x2 corner bricks

I probably have more if I search for it in my stock/old mocs.
And I'm sure I broke many, or threw them away, from the time before I knew
what it was.
Or used as filler bricks.
I do keep them now for fun. It's not a real colour and they are totally
useless, but still a nice oddity.
But if you do find a 2x4 brick...are you gonna add it to that color 'tower'?
I wouldnt. It might break just by doing that...

| Some parts are tricker than others, Technic pins and bushes are an example.
If you get yourself a 2x4 brick of each colour and use natural daylight you should
be okay. Sometimes (technic bushes are another example) LBG can fade and look
a little like light grey, especially if they are slightly yellowed. I tend to
not these when not too sure (or you could do a custom listing and just say unable
to determine colour and sell as a small joblot).
