Maybe it depends on how you build it.
Analogy (not sure if the story is true, but the phenomenom is real):
When the Japanese built the lines for the Shinkansen, they had trouble with the
catenaries. It appeared that there was a resonance because the length between
pillars was too regular. They solved the problem by specifying different lengths
between the pillars.
No proplem in France with the TGV lines. No specification needed
So maybe you need to not be too precise in building the model and the problem
doesn’t appear

I wonder if anyone else has built this. I noticed, after building, that the windscreen
did not close properly and it looks like there is a tiny collision here (p. 102
in the online instructions - step 162). For myself I moved the white ingot pieces
back a stud and that solved the issue, but I'm less than happy with how the
result works - the ingots should line up with the printed tiles.

Hmm, yeah, it’s very tiny on my virtual model. The kind of things you think
should be well under real parts’ tolerances… and actually isn’t

| Hi rab1234,
Thank you for your questions.
The information we shared is to give our BrickLink members a chance to secure
their BL usernames for the future integration with LEGO account that will take
place next year.
As you might know, it has not been possible to create a custom nickname on the
LEGO account in the past and so deciding to open up for this feature, we wanted
to give you a head start to lock down your nickname to match your BrickLink username
because we know that in the future we will be integrating with LEGO account and
at that point some members might appreciate having the same or similar username.
The accounts will be linked at some point, if you do nothing now, it will mean
that you have the default nickname given to you when you created your account
and unless you change that, it will remain the same when the accounts are linked.
You can change the nickname anytime, this is just a chance for you to change
it before someone else takes the username that you use o BrickLink
If you have more questions there might be answers to be found in the message
that was recently posted, it also links to an FAQ

I am glad to hear from you once again, as I was worried since your last communication
was nearly 5 months ago and that was only to wish Daniel Jezek a happy birthday.
How ironic, does TLG even think about what Dan would have wanted? I know we can't
read minds, but it can be inferred from what his spirit was when he was alive.
I am also certainly glad that TLG has time to implement something that is alienating
their customers as opposed to correcting serious flaws on the Bricklink website.
I am sure this will be fully tested (yeah, right!) before being rolled out at
one of the historically busiest times of the year outside the holiday season.
This does nothing for your users, except making their data more milkable for
information by TLG.
Please tell us how this helps us, the community (or is this something you can't
engage the community on, Ms. Community engagement?), other that the disingenuous
pap " members might appreciate having the same or similar username." Is this
the only benefit TLG could think of? Smells to high heaven to me.
I will be doing $0 holiday spending on Lego.com in protest to the fumbles on
Bricklink this year.
Signed me,
A seriously disappointed Bricklinker and Lego user.
p.s. required anti-ban message, this is out of frustration and not malice.

The SLS Artemis is my own creation as well as the adaptation to the launch platform.
Some parts had to be adapted.
Note: the Saturn V Launch Umbilical Tower is not of my design, but really great.
Enjoy…
Hope the true SLS will successfully fly in a few hours…

| Hi rab1234,
Thank you for your questions.
The information we shared is to give our BrickLink members a chance to secure
their BL usernames for the future integration with LEGO account that will take
place next year.
As you might know, it has not been possible to create a custom nickname on the
LEGO account in the past and so deciding to open up for this feature, we wanted
to give you a head start to lock down your nickname to match your BrickLink username
because we know that in the future we will be integrating with LEGO account and
at that point some members might appreciate having the same or similar username.
The accounts will be linked at some point, if you do nothing now, it will mean
that you have the default nickname given to you when you created your account
and unless you change that, it will remain the same when the accounts are linked.
You can change the nickname anytime, this is just a chance for you to change
it before someone else takes the username that you use o BrickLink
If you have more questions there might be answers to be found in the message
that was recently posted, it also links to an FAQ
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1375865

Are people going to "steal" popular bricklink seller store names and impersonate
them?
What's the point of all of this?
What happens if I do nothing because I don't really care if accounts are
linked or what user name they give me?

I think it is the word Brick that is forbidden, I tried an unique name with bricks
in it and it is rejected. SMH, not only is Lego verbotten, but brick, plate,

I am not happy, as I am not going to change my Branding just so Lego can consolidate

Read the FAQ https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2576
It’s not about your store name (MacsBricks), it’s your username (macebobo).
Your store name won’t change.

Well, I got a green check mark when it was okay. And the mark was there again

Yes, I just got it too… but nothing needed to be done because I got one from
IDEAS yesterday or the day before.
A bit confusing to get the same message on all LEGO platforms.
At least I only got one from each… yet¹.

¹ I made the mistake of paying S@H once with PayPal, and my PP account is on
another e-mail address than my VIP account. So, somehow, I had a double LEGO
account. I told them and they said “okay, I’ll merge the accounts” and I no
longer have troubles with the account… but I still receive the newsletters twice.

They come from set #0000 Test Bricks:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=0000-1#T=S&O={%22rpp%22:%22100%22,%22iconly%22:0}
Joking aside, if I understand correctly, test bricks are produced as part of
TLG's manufacturing process. Some TLG employees like to keep test bricks
as souvenirs or to give to friends, much like retail store employees are allowed
to take cardboard boxes from work that would otherwise be discarded. Eventually,
some of them end up for sale on BrickLink. Some other types of rare items share
similar origins. I'm sure maxx3001, Stuart9, and other rare brick collectors
can provide more details about the origin of these bricks.
|
For 2x4 test bricks, produced in the 60s / 70s by chemical companies for Lego
( in moulds provided by Lego): they were given out as presents / were available
for employees for a few pennies.

Should that be "None of us had reveiled that they own an intact sprue with the

Do you have a whole sprue with quadrates attached?

I believe he was a character in the TV special for Muppets in the Haunted Mansion
that released last year. The costume is definitely the same and the character
was played by Will Arnett. I have to believe that the character probably existed
before that in some capacity, but I am not sure how else it has been used.

On Rebrickable sometimes they have parts lists of builds within as set, in this
