| Hello,
can someone please help me to identify the minifigure legs in the pictures? they
are blue "Hips and Legs with Black Shoes Pattern", which is very similar to item
970c00pb1267 "Hips and Legs with Black Shoes Pattern".
The problem is that such an item is available in only 2 colors (red and dark
blue), while the legs I have are BLUE.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Simone

There is a listing on Ebay: the same instructions but the seller put two white
bricks. (why didn't he follow the instructions he owns?!)
This can also be an error that TLG corrected in later prints of instructions.
This is very hard to verify.
|
I searched for some instructions on Ebay and it seems there are two different
instructions indeed. The one with the blue bricks is the same as the second instruction
image on Bricklink (thanks for noticing Stuart). This image also shows a separate
small page, because of an error in the Instruction: It misses the 2x2 Tile (and
2x3 plate instead of one of the 1x2 plates) where the bed of the truck rests
on.
So I'm thinking of considering this complete instruction as an error. Maybe
this replacement page shows white instead of blue bricks on the back, who knows.
I will add a note to the inventory about this and leave this request open for
a while. I want to check images, sheets and info on my old desktop and find the
sets and instructions I have myself. Maybe I have some more info on this I forgot
about.
|
I couldn't find any info about this error page in my archives. I have 5 instructions
of this set and all show white 1 x 1 bricks (including 2 Samsonite instructions).
I will leave it to the note I added for now. To add blue bricks as alternate
items we would need more evidence / info about the extra error page.
| |
Anyway, thank you for the change request. I like puzzles like this 
I made one image of front and back of the Instruction with the blue error page
from Bricklink on top. The second image shows the 'white bricks' Instruction.

PS If there are still some more Vintage LEGO fans out there, who have more info,
feel free to help us out. I'm kind of missing these Vintage Collectors.

Comments from Submitter:
For this set it's not clear how the Minifigures should be assembled. So the Minifigures should be removed from the Set Inventory and the parts should be added.
- The set doesn't have an instruction
- The box shows differences in Minifigure Builds
- The Parts List on the back of the box doesn't show the numberson the back of the torso's.
Although the set image shows three brown and one black hair #3901, the Parts List shows 2 of each, which is confirmed by sealed set contents:

| Hello.
I have a Death Star UCS 10188. It is 75% new, with just Box 1 opened, and Bags
1 opened. These bags contained the Minifigures. Some of which where missing.
I have sourced replacement figures but I have now found that one of the two Death
Star Imperial Troopers has a slightly different Torso. In that on the metal buckle
of the utility belt, one has a Black circle, and one doesn't. Everything
else is identical. Does anyone know if this is for a different Minifigure or
a strange variant.
The photo attached shows both Minifigures.
Thanks, Ian.

They do look identical. A quick look on mobile swapping screen I couldn’t see
a difference

It just shows that instruction sheets from multiples of small modern sets are

| | | I believe the main issue here is a combination of:
1. Very high shipping costs
2. Paypal not giving a break on shipping charges.
In the past, some sellers would put very low prices on items, but then charge
huge amounts for shipping, on eBay. It seems Paypal (an off-shoot of eBay) does
not want to make the same mistake again.
|
Paypal only sees a combined total payment that they process. They don't care
if it is a $100 item with free postage or a $50 item with $50 shipping. They
process the same $100 payment either way. There is no need to give a break on
shipping charges, since they would just end up increasing the fees on the rest
of the transaction.
Sellers just need to take it into account. If shipping is going to be $20, charge
$22 or similar to cover the packaging and the 5% or so pp fees. But that means
giving up the slogan of charging exact postage costs.

| | I just got a $20 order that resulted in a $60 shipping cost and the result is
about $16 taxes. The Bricklink and Paypal fees on the entire transaction equal
about 1/3 the parts sale price. I figure my "cost" for the items was somewhere
between $10-12, resulting in my getting just a few bucks margin for this sale...
I'm wondering what other folks do to mitigate issues like this? I currently
charge exact postage and don't have any handling fees.
I'm wondering if one thing I should do is bump up my minimum order for international
orders.
Thanks for any thoughts you might have.

Paypal fees are a percentage (aside from the small fixed fee) so are relatively
easy to account for as the postage costs increase if you charge a percentage
more than the actual cost.

| | Hallo,
De fees die je als verkoper aan paypal dient af te staan, zijn deze in dollar
of in euro? Ik heb ergens gelezen 0.49 per transactie plus 3.49% van het gehele
bedrag... maar is dit in dollar of euro?
Ben pas deze maand begonnen als verkoper op bricklink, ik lees graag al jullie
suggesties om dit soort dingen goed aan te pakken! Alvast bedankt!
|
In Euro omdat het via PayPal.nl gaat. De wisselkoerskosten ook.
|
Aangezien je volgens je terms alleen Euro accepteert zal alles in Euro gaan.
En je kopers zullen dan ook in Euro moeten betalen, eventuele wissel kosten zijn
dan voor rekening van de koper, heb je geen last van.

That's a perfectly reasonable position. Out of curiosity, though, doesn't
the size convey that information? Or do you prefer words to numbers? For example:
|
Not everyone reads size and converts it to item instantly words like the giant
or small can help quickly confirm at a glance when looking at something before
listing it or when pulling it to ship it out
| | Wheel Small
Wheel Medium
Wheel Large
Wheel Giant
Wheel 27mm
Wheel 36mm
Wheel 52mm
Wheel 96mm
I'd like to understand your reasoning better. A similar use of size, BTW,
is in the hoses (where words couldn't describe them all).
|
I don’t mean to bud in but those are more so very similar and are easier to mentally
picture size wise (I’m probably making no sense rn)
|
Exactly what Nubs is saying. That way when quickly looking at one of the parts,
I know I've got the "large" wheel, instead of having to try to remember that
it's 52mm... It's just easier for quick recognition than just having
numbers. That and newer members might not know what to do with that number.
