Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6713  Name: Grip-n-Go Challenge
* 
6713-1 (Inv) Grip-n-Go Challenge
269 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2000
Sets: Town: Race

* Change 2 Part Yellow {30237 Brick, Modified 1 x 2 with Clip (Vertical Grip) (Undetermined Type) to 30237a Brick, Modified 1 x 2 with Split U Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)}

Comments from Submitter:
I sold 2 of this part in June. The remarks on the order show the pieces from 6713 and the picture of the order confirms the variant. The picture is of someone's order, so I won't show it. I may have a useful picture in a partout gallery at home.

I will check at home whether I got a picture to show this, but I just parted this out the other day and it was the older part.


All light gray and dark gray are the older version. I have been updating them
behind the scenes.

Yes, they do look to be the same. That was our mistake for not noticing that
the torso assembly was already in the catalog. I have gone ahead and merged the
torso assemblies as well as the torsos into the below entries.

 
Part No: 973pb3281c01  Name: Torso Uniform Vest with Gold and Black Trim, Buttons, and Name Tag Pattern / Dark Red Arms / White Hands
* 
973pb3281c01 (Inv) Torso Uniform Vest with Gold and Black Trim, Buttons, and Name Tag Pattern / Dark Red Arms / White Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.
 
Part No: 973pb3281  Name: Torso Uniform Vest with Gold and Black Trim, Buttons, and Name Tag Pattern
* 
973pb3281 Torso Uniform Vest with Gold and Black Trim, Buttons, and Name Tag Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Torso

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Cheers,
Randy

  remaster our old film

Typo, that should be films plural

Also I forgot to say, if you are looking for any specific LEGO that is not listed
feel free to message me. I have a LOT of stuff to go thru and can have a look
in the boxes. I don't have any complete sets, it's all fairly well organised
loose parts.

I don’t regularly include them anyway. But I’ve never received this request before,
and now have gotten it three times in a row.

It is coming up to Christmas. I know that dishonest resellers/dropshippers are
a thing but isn't it more likely they might be gifts?

I think you'd have to describe them as yellowed and also indicate that you
have already given them a bath in hydrogen peroxide.

To my knowledge hydrogen peroxide does nothing in itself, you have to add direct
sunlight to it for a considerable amount of time.

  I would only add that it would be a good starting point to always include the
number of wheel spokes where appropriate, some already do but so many more don’t
as my quick example below shows.

If you know the type of wheel and can be confident spokes are included in search
terms you can just search “8 spoke wagon” but even if you don’t know the wheel
type ‘8 spoke’ will narrow things down a lot especially given many wheels don’t
even have spokes

I'm also surprised at the lack of the use of the word 'Rim' as all
those inner wheel parts should always include this term also many wheels connected
by an axle don't include that word either therefore something like this should
have a starter description of 'Wheel Rim Axle':-

 
Part No: 24869  Name: Wheel Roller Coaster
* 
24869 Wheel Roller Coaster
Parts: Wheel

Also wherever you have a left and right wheel connected (Dual wheels) give people
the option of narrowing down a search for these items therefore a baseline description
for this might look something like:-

'Dual Wheel Rim with Axle'

Hi everyone, new to Bricklink but old to LEGO.

I'm Tim Drage, one half of pioneering brickfilm animation duo Spite Your
Face Productions. (we made 'Spider-Man: The Peril of Doc Ock', "Star
Wars: The Han Solo Affair','Monty Python and the Holy Grail in LEGO',
LEGO Studios animations etc)

Spite Your Face co-director Tony Mines sadly passed away earlier this year and
I'm selling some of our LEGO collection to clear space and raise funds to
remaster our old film (and present some unfinished projects for the first time)
in his memory.

Please check out my new bricklink store, there's some interesting/rare things
listed and I'll be adding a lot more in the near future:

https://store.bricklink.com/timdrage

Thanks

Tim

  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!

I've always suggested that when there isn't any defining print detail
and only two plain tones of colour (be that printed or dual molded) we should
be able to locate them using a simple search term such as two-tone legs but others
seem to prefer that we guess what the black area is meant to represent be that
boots, shoes, sandals, slippers trainers, socks, feet etc...

However is your item found under black feet....

and that was one of the last searches I tried after almost giving up myself!

actually the colour you have looks more like medium blue rather than blue so
perhaps its not yet in the catalog?

I have compared with other blue and medium blue items in my invetory and I can
assure you that the color is blue. Thanks again for your help!

Okay I guess it must just be the camera lighting as it looks like a different
colour in your photo

My experience is unfortunately that any attempt to restore the whiteness will
fail. And I have tried many things. They will all return to being yellowed after
shorter or longer time. They are bin material.

Selling a complete set with parts like yours will be unacceptable - unless it
ia very clearly mentioned in the description and accepted by the buyer - and
the price must be lowered accordingly - which leads to the best solution - that
you replace the yellowed parts before listing the set for sale. Alternately part
out the rest of the set as parts if you don't want to replace the damaged
parts.

It is OK to sell faded used parts either as parts or in sets as long as the description
of the item for sale accurately describes the condition. You can use the extended
description and include words such as "many of the white parts yellowed/faded
but otherwise good condition". Obviously price accordingly.. IMO taking off the
price of replacing those parts would be a good basis.

  maybe this one?
970c00pb0239

Can't be since it doesn't have the white stripes.

yes, it cannot be 970c00pb0239 because the one I have is plain blue (except for
the shoe pattern), without any white stripes

  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!

  here is the notice I have showing it in blue. It was logic to me because of the
blue logo. It's weird that you have (or me) have a notice with a different
color.

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.

Diana

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

  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.

Frank

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.
