| | | You could always message the seller directly, offering to buy the part/fig at
a lower price. Some may be more than willing to take you up on the offer.
|
This adds a lot of friction to the checkout process for both buyer and seller.
I just want to tick a couple of boxes and be done, you know?

If you are buying expensive items, it may be worth shopping around for a better
deal. For example, suppose two stores have the same minifig, but one is selling
it for $50, and the other is selling it for $80. Then buy the $50 minifig.

I also have a lot of want lists and before I check out I always see if the current
seller happens to have any of those parts/figs.
Often they will have a fig I want, but they are asking 2x the going rate for
that part. For instance, recently a seller I was buying from had a Harry Potter
fig for $16 that usually sells for $8 if you check the global sales stats. During
the checkout flow, I'd like be able to offer $8 for this fig in addition
to the rest of my order, and then the seller can decide if they want to add it
to the order or not.
I think a lot of times the seller just doesn't regularly update prices for
the figs they are selling and would often toss in extras at market rate for an
order that they are already shipping, since it is easy.

Use the minus sign: “-stickers”.

with those numbers, i.e. all variations of that mold. For example, 11439 only
brings up the solid color version of this part, instead of all the mixed-color

|
Use the asterisk: “3001*” will give you all the items with an ID starting with
“3001”.
It works for words in description too. It’s great for plurals: “clip*” gives
both “clip” & “clips”… doesn’t work for “tooth” / ”teeth” though

I've read several suggestions but would like a clearer answer on who's

2000 and 2011), which will be "locked up" and protected inside a display case

some individual pieces (like 93095 or 99780) may take the stress off the minifigure,

all die or not?
Thanks in advance to everyone

The only problem I have ever had with cracking for display-only minifigs is for
Iron Man and War Machine, both of which have polycarbonate clear 1x1 round bricks
in the feet. Both cracked at the back of the legs.
I display (and in some cases pose) over 1000 figures in rotation. They are the
only ones that have cracked due to being assembled for me.
Others have cracked when being played with.

Pretty much if it’s assembled it will possibly crack one day. I’ve heard that
some people keep the minifigures unassembled to prevent cracking

Please, please no. The only thing that matters here is function and efficiency.
Every time they update something we get less data, more white space, and more

Back away from the bedazzler! Save your enthusiasm for the LEGO itself and go

Yes, there is nothing easy or intuitive about our invoice and shipping systems.
They have to work worldwide selling an incredibly diverse product within different
payment, tax, and postal systems. Some sellers take the time to learn about all
that goes into shipping methods and pricing before they open for business. Some
have the total experience of 'going to the post office' to ship a package,
and have never accepted an online payment, printed a label online, or shipped
internationally.
BrickLink's Help is sadly out of date and unhelpful. There is no quick and
easy way to set up Instant Checkout. It's complicated if you know what you
are doing and downright intimidating if you don't. There is no quick 'help
cheat' that will overcome these issues. BrickLink would need to make a series
of How To guides and videos just to cover the basics.
You can usually spot a seller who doesn't know what they are about by their
terms page.
Good luck,
Jen
