Not sure if this has been asked before…. But is there a Lego Building program,
similar to the Bricklink Studio… available as a app or can use on a iPad?

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

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

Huh. On the ride, the narrator is the "Ghost Host" who looks like this. He has
a different costume. However, the cast members who guide you in do, in fact,
have the same costume! That must be it!

Is there an E-printed 2 x 4 brick?

They come from set #0000 Test Bricks:

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.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3001special#T=S&O={%22st%22:%225%22,%22iconly%22:0}

A lot, because I would be bidding against you.
None of us has an intact sprue with the test parts attached.

Yeah this is also my understanding (grew up going to disneyland) Its the dude

The process worked for me but only after I logged into Lego.com on another browser

My nickname is still in moderation after an hour. I think someone is in a cubicle
somewhere trying to figure out if he's got the REAL Axaday here.

The suspense is too much! Did you get it??

Jen

I just checked and it is still in moderation.

  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

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.

It is legit. A Forum announcement is coming.

I believe I've completed the process though even after patiently waiting
I'm left with an endless spinning timer message:-

"Nickname in moderation

We’re just checking your new nickname:"

Does this sound normal?


Mine also is getting the "Nickname in moderation" message with the spinning wheel,
it has been like that for several hours. I have tried clearing cache/cookies
and using a different browser but it is still the same. Not sure if it will fix
itself eventually or what I need to do.

Mine too...

My Question is - Did I need to actually create a Lego account? I have never need
to go there for any reason. So now I have followed through and made a account,
for some reason I now have a problem listing items in my store. Every time I
try to list it asks me to log in every time I flip a page to list. Any help in
this matter I thank you.

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.

I know what you are saying, however, it will not accept MacsBricks or MaceboboBricks
or Macs_Bricks, or anything (apparently for me) with bricks in it. If someone
has has success with using Bricks in their name, I will change my opinion.

My point still stands, I do not want to be data mined by Lego, and this is where
this is all leading. It adds zero value for me and is profitable for Lego.

I opened a new account because they said we could and I use a different email
address for BrickLink. I couldn't change the assigned id using edit but there
was another link, I can't remember exactly but something like help me choose
an id and it went through.

My “new nickname” has been moderating for several hours now. Not impressed.

It is legit. A Forum announcement is coming.

I believe I've completed the process though even after patiently waiting
I'm left with an endless spinning timer message:-

"Nickname in moderation

We’re just checking your new nickname:"

Does this sound normal?


Mine also is getting the "Nickname in moderation" message with the spinning wheel,
it has been like that for several hours. I have tried clearing cache/cookies
and using a different browser but it is still the same. Not sure if it will fix
itself eventually or what I need to do.

Tania, what happens if there's no Lego account to link to? If there's
no account with a matching email/address/credit card/etc, what are they going
to do?

  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

What happens if I do nothing because I don't really care if accounts are

My nickname is still in moderation after an hour. I think someone is in a cubicle
somewhere trying to figure out if he's got the REAL Axaday here.

The suspense is too much! Did you get it??

There were instructions?  If it says LEGO, I just click on the link!

BTW, did you know LEGO was funded by a Nigerian prince that’s got plenty of money
but needed my help to get at it?

I got the same e-mail for Ideas: went there, changed my nickname (can’t remember

Got the BL e-mail: went again, nothing to be done, same account.

My Lego identity for reasons I have never been able to parse has always been
DirectorFlatulentCap. I do wonder why Flatulent was in the list of random adjectives
they used.

My Lego identity for reasons I have never been able to parse has always been
DirectorFlatulentCap. I do wonder why Flatulent was in the list of random adjectives
they used.

It is legit. A Forum announcement is coming.

Didn't receive it

I don't receive any BL e-mails "announcements" for months.

Well, I got a green check mark when it was okay.  And the mark was there again
when I re-logged an hour ago (IDEAS yesterday = I changed and it was okay + BL
today = it was okay).

Maybe try another browser / cleaning cache-blah.

It says my nickname is a vulgar word, lol. And it tells me I have to try it again,
but then it tells me I'm only allowed to try once in 30 days. Mad IT skillz

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.
*sigh*

So they are going to be linking lego customer accounts with reseller accounts?
Let's hope they don't want to crack down on reselling activities again
like in the past.

They come from set #0000 Test Bricks:

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.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3001special#T=S&O={%22st%22:%225%22,%22iconly%22:0}

A lot, because I would be bidding against you.
None of us has an intact sprue with the test parts attached.

That is awesome. Almost as imposing as the real thing.

I have a photo somewhere that I took many years ago from the very same angle
but at night.

To think this was intended to be an one-off soon-to-be-demolished building...

A lot of these test parts were given out to community groups and lugs in Europe
by LEGO so not stolen.

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?

G-Bricks are predominantly from Italy?

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.

Wow...

I guess it's a coincidence?

Last time was years ago when my daugther Mia was playing drums, LEGO released
Mia in her room with drums.

 
Set No: 3939  Name: Mia's Bedroom
* 
3939-1 (Inv) Mia's Bedroom
81 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2012
Sets: Friends

One thing's sure; we now have to buy this (wonderful, I must admit)
one...

Adios "savings"

Looks good but at £600 it’s too steep for me.

I have the earlier one though.

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.

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?

Thank you very much.
I just had to compare the 2 wanted lists and delete the parts from the Dinosaur.
I really saved a lot of time !
Have a nice evening !

  Hi,
I would like to buy the parts for the door only, the dinosaur doesn't interest
me.
Has anyone created a wanted list just for the door and could share it ?
It would save me a lot of time
Thank you

Nicolas

On Rebrickable sometimes they have parts lists of builds within as set, in this
case they have the T-Rex, you could part out the whole set and then remove the
parts lists of the T-rex

G bricks are Bayer?
How much would it cost me to buy a Bayer quadrate sprue, wholly intact?
Does/would colour determine cost?

They come from set #0000 Test Bricks:

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.
