It depends what other outgoings you have.
20% is a huge amount to be spending on lego if you are spending 95% on essentials.
Whereas 20% is not much if you are only spending 10% on essentials.

I'm building the 42145 Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter. On step 142, the instructions
show inserting a red pin with axle through two narrow beams, through a wide beam,
and in step 143, placing a pinion on the axle end and another pinion on the axle
beneath it. After installing both pinions, the longer axle is almost impossible
to turn due to the friction from the red pin with the axle end holding the pinion
above it. Before continuing, I want to make sure this is correct as it doesn't
seem right.
Thank you!

Hi, I haven’t built the set or looked further in the instructions but it looks
like a classic brake, to prevent the axle from rotating freely.
Is it part of the landing gear’s up-down mechanism?

I don’t really agree with that, or that depends on whom you label “scientists.”
Open source is the fundament of science: you share what you do, how you do it,
with what you do it.
Grafted on that is the people who pay the scientists and want something in return
or want to know how/to whom to distribute the money. And those people are therefore
interested in technology and applications, not science, and there you get patents
and secrets.
As for artists, well all the artists train by looking at and reproducing others’
arts (works for paintings or books). Then they find & do their own things and
add their creativity… or not, when they found the “cash recipe” and rehash the
same work / story over and over.
Those AIs do exactly as the latter: they are trained on what exists, find the
recipe (in a totally obscure way for us) and produce similar things over and
over.

You shouldn’t say “you should…!”!
As both buyer and seller are French, I suppose they spoke French and so there
should be less of a language barrier.
There’s several nuances in French that can be reduced to “you should…!” in Globish.
For starters, there’s “tu” (singular & colloquial you) or “vous” (politeness
plural) or the impersonal “ça” (it, but then it would translate to “it should”)
or the impersonal “il” (similar to “it should” but translates to “you should”).
Then there’s the tense: present (obligation) or conditional (advice).
So it’s hard to judge just on a translation what could have triggered that answer.
Also, these social codes are not always understood or shared and it seems the
seller is under stress at the moment.
I mean, the answer is still out of line but it may not just be the exclamation
point

Hmm, there can be two reasons they are most wanted:
— they are rare, and therefore you don’t need a lot of storage place,
— they are sold as fast as the the stock is replenished, and therefore you don’t
need a lot of storage place.
On the contrary, parts that are least wanted aren’t sold and therefore accumulate
in your store and need more storage place.

— click the “Quantity” button, it opens a dialog with the option to multiply
all the quantities.
You’ll have to do that for all the pages.
You may also copy the wanted list to another one (same procedure but click “Copy”)

To buy multiple WL together, use the Buy page ( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page

AFAICT from the ones I have (some of them missing a bit of chrome), ‘embossed’

If you remove the chrome, the pattern is still there.
Easier to tell the difference with the black paint because the chrome is thicker

If you dont want them keep adding in multiple batches, you can mark the order

Yes, the buyer could at least have asked the seller before doing that.
If a seller wants to allow keep-open orders, they can. If they don’t, that means
they don’t want such orders.

Here’s how the sentence is structured:
(Trying to put in a cancellation request)
as
((a buyer and I) have agreed to cancel)
So, “as” = “because,” not “in the role of.”
I must say though that “because when” is a bit unsettling. I guess that it means
“I’m trying and not succeeding because” but I expected a simple “but.”

Don’t use glue, use a solvent (one with aceton for instance). But that won’t

No - this won't help. It's just a clash between the LDraw and BrickLink

be nice if the ids were harmonized, but sadly they aren't 100%, especially
when it comes to decorated or composite items.
The best thing to do IMHO would be to report these clashes to Bricklink and LDraw
and hopefully these can be fixed by their catalog admins in the future.
|
“Their catalog admins”? Are you talking about LDraw?
That’s not how it works.
First, the IDs are different for the same reason they are different on Rebrickable
or in other databases: nomenclatures and IP.
Nomenclatures: Not everyone agree on how to number patterns.
IP: in 2014, BrickLink issued a Cease & Desist to BrickOwl for the use of BrickLink
IDs & names.
When the IDs are the same it’s because they are unpatterned, or are old / come
from Peeron, when everybody worked together.
That being said, many LDraw parts have the BL ID in their keywords (that is,
inside the file).
For instance, 3068bpx8.dat contains “BrickLink 3068bpb1126” as a keyword.
If you want a match between BL IDs and LDraw files, you may also try Studio’s
database (when Studio uses the LDraw file and hasn’t made its own).

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Most of us have had a “dark age”

to purchase from and I click "Create carts."
When I look at the cart from the suggested store, the plate costs $0.03 USD plus
$5.90 USD shipping and handling. Is this really the store with the cheapest
shipping for this one plate, or does the "Auto-select" algorithm not
search for the lowest shipping cost?
Thank you for your kind patience with me, since I'm a newbie.

The algorithm can’t know the shipping price of every store. It could for those
sellers that have Auto-Invoice (when the shipping is automatically calculated)
but many still have manual invoicing (the sellers calculate shipping on their
own).
What we have been told is that the algorithm uses an estimation (something about
the average cost for similar orders between the seller’s location and the buyer’s).
The algorithm also takes feedback into account (no idea how).
Honestly, Auto-select is a good start for a Wanted List but for only one part,
I’d just pick a reliable store with an acceptable shipping. You’d best read
each store’s Terms anyway.
Or I’d wait to have a need for more parts

and my brain is just not forming regular grammar syntax word things anymore.

Nah, forgive me for being facetious, again… still… forever

| | Go to your Quotes made page:
https://www.bricklink.com/myQuotation.asp?qtype=Q
Select the one just got cancelled and open it, at the bottom there is a button
to add the contents to a Wanted list. Do it and then return to the store, go
to the wanted tab Shop tab and click Wanted Lists, then select the Wanted list
you created on the left and with a click in "Auto-Fill:[Min" (once per
page) you should easy add back all your items.

Nice! Didn't know, thx!

Seems logical as you can do that with orders but good to know it works with quotes
too

Only the direction of the fins is switched and that transforms a round brick
into a rock!

Not true. The second is clearly a crystallic form and it’s not regular: the
protrusions are 3 sizes.

Logic? In the catalogue? Are yu new here?

And why does Bricklink apply these rules when having such a poor customer support
at this point?
|
They aren’t rules, they are laws. As such, BrickLink has to apply them,
wether BL has the means or not to help / explain / follow-up on the application.

I understand the fins literally go up on one and down on the other... but if
you turn it upside down then you have it turned the other way and then it becomes
the other part,,,

To add to what the others said:
— on 11127, the fins aren’t all the same size,
— 11127 only exists in Trans-colours and Pearl Gold.

probably best to sell it on a local marketplace as bricklink is typically best

Or complete sets. But that depends on the sets (themes).

Please Hell4Leather, don’t list your sets extensively on the forum, that

About this, often Brick & Mortar LEGO or more generic Toys Shop have also a shop
on BrickLink.
This permits them to have a seller contract with LEGO, buy Sets at discount for
their Shop and part out a part of them for their BrickLink Shop.

Yep, I forgot about that… but then their BL store is still “business” and not
“only for ‘fun’.”
I think there’s even people whose only income is BL and only BL (not brick &
mortar, not eBay, not Brick Owl…).
Or so they say something goes wrong with BL

Hi,
Studio expects a Wanted List XML file, not an Inventory XML file. There’s a
few differences between the formats. And the one difference that’s causing your
problem is that an Inventory uses a QTY field while a Wanted List uses a MINQTY
list.
So, you need to edit the downloaded file (it’s just text) and replace all the
occurrences of QTY by MINQTY.
That being said, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).
