Can you find yourself on this map?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to move OP's package from
Moreno Valley to Florida. (Red Dot is the city not address)

  Found in a bulk purchase. Looking to trade or sell.

Cool find!

Hi, welcome to BrickLink!

You can trade with the sellers on BrickLink, but the forum barely gets a trickle
of the total daily traffic. All the big dogs and truffle hunters browse the catalog
and/or use Wanted Lists to find stores. Opening a store lets you notify all the
collectors looking for that minifig.

(sw0472 is currently on 4937 Wanted Lists)
 
Minifig No: sw0472  Name: Count Dooku - White Hair
* 
sw0472 (Inv) Count Dooku - White Hair
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 2
If you have other stuff available, you could list everything below average prices
(less value = reduce less). Then break into a smile, laugh evilly, and raise
your minimum buy to whatever you were hoping to get from the big ticket item.

That cat loves you. One of the best things in life is the bond between caretakers
and their companions. I hope every moment until the last is fulfilling for both
of you.

  I do a lot of mosaics and have tried to mount a crowbar on the end of what is
effectively a drill-bit holder as trying to use a crowbar piece itself as an
adult is so frustrating. Wondering if anyone has figured out another tool that
works like the crowbar does in prying off 1x1 round tiles and 1x1 round plates
off of large mosaics?

I'm thinking there has to be like a dental tool or something but worried
about scratching pieces

A little off the beaten path, but you could try a clone brand separator?

  I've got 11 pages worth of quotes that stretch all the way back to 2018,

aren't quotes purged the same way orders are? One would think that quotes
aren't nearly as important as orders, yet these are saved for years upon
years while actual orders are purged every 6 months. (It should be the other
way around, in my opinion.)

Do sellers have the option to file old quote requests?

  For sure. I read them several times back-to-back in the late 70s. I subsequently
started in on The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant books and quickly became immersed
in Donaldson's amazing fictional works, forgetting much of Tolkien's
until the movies. Movie form is just too abbreviated to ever do such literary
works well enough, imho.

True. Faithful adaptions (if not word-for-frame, in spirit) are few and far between.

I always hope the showrunners have an Oprah moment while endowing side characters
with speaking roles.

  As I am sitting here building 10316-1, I suddenly wondered why Elrond put Bilbo
up. I know Bilbo helped Thorin, but did he help Elrond? Will Elrond put up
anyone who will follow the rules?

For his part in helping stave-off the evil/darkness that grew in Middle Earth?
And for perhaps after being asked to voluntarily give up the corrupting ring
of power which he possessed for decades, he did?

Elrond and Gandalf would both have known somewhat of that cost for Bilbo. That
although he’d find peace of mind, his body would suffer the effects accelerated
aging. Rivendell with Elrond’s unparalleled Elvish gift of healing, was probably
the one place he could find some amount of bodily comfort before joining the
Elves on their passage. That was the real gift for both Bilbo and Frodo, passage
into the undying lands.

For those that enjoy the works and worlds of Tolkien, read The Silmarillion.
Little more difficult a read, but a beautifully rich story! It was published
posthumously by his son much later than The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books.
I read it twice just after it was made available in book stores, in Stockholm
at the time.

+1

And re-read the Lord of the Rings! 50 year-old Frodo is the best hobbit and there's
entire chapters the films had to leave out, and The Return of the King has Saruman's
alternate ending (and half-filled with side stories).

I think a certain kinship existed between all Ring-bearers. Even when friendship
and hospitality were not especially earned; Galadriel to Frodo; Frodo to Smeagol.

Elrond allowed the One Ring to be claimed by Men, and may have felt responsible
for how things turned out. And Bilbo, for his part, gave all of Middle-Earth
a second chance.
  Will Elrond put up anyone who will follow the rules?

If you speak in Orcish, he replaces the continental breakfast with a crumb of
lembas bread.

I own a double handful of Bionicle figures like Toa Mata Nui, Brutaka, and a
couple others. I also have a few Hero Factory sets like Von Nebula and Witch
Doctor.

I have a real thing for Star Wars droids. Any droids, NO, ALL droids. My husband
jokes that my buying all the new droids will bankrupt us.

  I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to build a Lego set.
 
Set No: 8376  Name: Hot Flame
* 
8376-1 (Inv) Hot Flame
257 Parts, 2003
Sets: Racers: Radio Control
After I finished it and ran it around for about 2 minutes checking to make sure
it worked on all 3 channels; I started thinking about how much fun I had building
it. This led me to think about my favorite theme which led me to think about
my top 3 and top 5 themes.

1) Harry Potter-I am super passionate about this theme!

Me too! And doubly exciting, HP was one of the first themes to introduce Light
Nougat skin tones. Can't explain why, but it immediately inspired me to customize
(mostly Castle) minifigs into Roman legionnaires and gladiators.

  2) Western

Loved this theme, twice over. Gave away ALL the horses during a Dark Age. Ow.

  3) Castle & Ninjago are pretty much tied
4) Town / City

What is / are your favorite theme(s)?


Cass T

I have soft spots for everything you mentioned, and others like Aquazone, Exo-Force
and Classic Space. But my ride-or-die's have to be Star Wars and Bionicle.

*I'm a nut for the Star Wars' Expanded Universe! Karen Traviss' Republic
Commando series and Timothy Zahn's Thrawn, BioWare RPGs and cinematic trailers,
and Genndy Tartakovsky's animation style. Bionicle is simply my favorite
Lego IP. Especially the comics and story serials/podcasts.

(Test parts and Grangemouth bricks are my unofficial favorites.)

Colours? Now you're speaking English?

Not “now” but yes, unless I’m quoting, coding, adhering to some rule, or making
a ‘mistake,’ I use British English spelling.

Unparliamentary language!

We're supposed to say "proper English spelling" not "French French".

Thanks Ed

1) Use the Color Guide!

2) Use main keywords:

Always use these first:

hollow stud / blocked stud

dual sided / -dual sided

female / -female

Your results get whittled down fast.

3) Use other keywords:

Then, add in other features:
glasses, mask, beard, etc

Don't forget to exclude these features as well with the - sign.

4) Sort the result by Date. If your items came from one lot, they are likely
to be all near the same age.


Good luck,
Jen

BrickLink, please ask Mfav nicely to share Supersearch with you.

He is a genius and it is an absolute jam of a search tool.

Tip for buyers: You can download your e-mails, then convert them to a spreadsheet.

Simpler to just download your orders directly: https://www.bricklink.com/orderPlaced.asp

For OP: there should be a similar page for your store’s inventory… but my inventory
is empty, so I don’t know where that is.

Anyway, BrickStore seems the easiest solution.  (I think it keeps tab of ID &
name changes.  Such changes can be a pain if you have a newer download you want
to reconcile with an older one.)

That's ideal. I was trying to recover specific item details from purged orders.

For sure, there ARE legitimate channels where this type of buying occurs. But
I believe that most of it is just a guy with a truck who knows someone inside
who will load up that truck in exchange for a wad of cash which goes into someone's
pocket. A guy with a forklift can help clean out your warehouse in more ways
than one.

I’m saying it’s aliens from out of space: they have replicators, it’s even easier
than forklifts.

Good deal, either way.

  How is this possible without anything shady going on? Just to get an understanding.

Total 96,984 items in 128 lots available

They have 600 x 40582 4x4 Off-Road Ambulance Rescue which is a GWP and could
only be gotten through a purchase of 100 euro/dollar at Lego.com. You would run
into purchase limitations and what now.

Any insights welcome.

LEGO does sell wholesale to authorized (and informal) partners for retail.

It is a bit baffling to see them do it this openly, by the pallet.

What if they're a fake officer? Is somebody goes after a fake officer, are
they a bounty hunter or a clone clone clone trooper trooper trooper???????????

  Hello!
Currently working on my roads for my city! What color should I go with? Light
bley is cheaper and looks more classic, while dark bley is more modern! Or I
could go with black for an asphalt look!
What do y’all think?

Dark bley and dark gray for texture!

Enjoy your inputs, Caleb. Especially the often provocative ones. They get the
rusty wheels spinning. Thanks

And thanks for the store plug too Didn't know we had any more of that card
left in stock, gotta go take a look now...

Apparently your minifigures sell too well. Not a single Vader left

  I’ve known for some time of e-commerce sites for independent vendors to ply their
wares, where the transactional funds are in one form or another held in escrow,
brokered by the site until the transaction is completed to the satisfaction of
the buyer. I suppose in some circumstance and to a degree, the seller’s as well…

Until now I've held negative feeling towards these types of full-control
ideas. Well, my daughter with her newly found interest, has been expanding our
online selling footprint in her spare time. Mostly about putting into practice
what she's been learning. As a result I now have some experience with just
such sites, allowing thus far a “change of heart” towards this type of selling
environment.

Haven’t really examined why it is I don’t mind being out of pocket for a time,
that is no money and no product for a period. But as it turns out, I don’t mind
that which I thought I would. Guess I learned something new about myself in the
process, always a good thing.

Maybe getting fatter prices too, has something to do with the “don’t mind” part

-popsicle

I might be missing the mark here, but I love the principle of internal affairs.
Protecting a rising consciousness from our own predatory instincts. Including,
to some extent, over-harvesting our gratification. I think it's healthy for
younger people to begin with the mindset that they don't own their bank balance
(or payments), before Uncle Sam eats it and allows you to dig in.
