| Hi gang!
This set :
Contains a rather nice map on a stickersheet
I would very much like a high resolution scan of this, please
My plan is to photoshop/move the "x marks the spot" all the way up to
the nose of Jutland where I live. Then upsize it (as much as the resolution permits),
get it professionally printed, framed and hang it on my wall 
This set is not likely to ever get parted out and I don't feel like paying
150-200EUR for a stickersheet. For that amount of money I could just go to Billund
and buy the set 
Thank you in advance
Cheers,
Ole

| Purchased an minifig for about 12SGD from this local seller (Tuahbui) about 2
years ago.
He sent the wrong item and I informed him about it. Initially he accept that
it is his fault. However, he decided to change his words after I told him to
collect it back or refund the return shipping fees.
Things escalated to PayPal. And PayPal decided to do a refund to me. Yet this
seller has been sending harassments mails for the past 2 years or so. Words which
are demeaning and highly offensive. Calling me names and label me as a scammer.
The details were sent to the admin here but nothing was done. The stop-list doesnt
work too.
How do I go about it?
Am about to file a defamation suit soon.

| Hi together,
I have not managed to connect plugged parts until now. For example, 12V rails
with the connectors on the plate (picture) or even wheels into the 12V motor.
The collision detection prevents it.
With google I did not get further. Is there a "secret" trick?
Thank you for help!

| Author: | WoutR | | Posted: | Apr 29, 2023 08:27 | | Subject: | USB-microscope-camera-toy | | Viewed: | 149 times | | Topic: | Off Topic | |
| I recently posted a few images taken with my new USB-microscope-camera-toy. I
got several messages asking for additional information, so here is a quick review
I do not have any previous experience with digital microscopes, so I got frustrated
trying to find good information to make an educated choice. In the end, I just
got one of the “Best Sellers in Lab Handheld Digital Microscopes” (currently
listed #6). The main selection criteria became 1) price, and 2) the availability
of a vertical stand that provides the possibility to adjust height precisely
(using gear wheel on gear rack). So that was a bit of a “guess this will be good
enough”-buy.
Cost:
Digital microscope ~50 euro
Stand ~25 euro
I later found out that I could have gotten that stand for free if I posted a
5 star review on Amazon.
Positive remarks
+ easy to use
+ does what I want it to do
+ I can read the smallest LEGO mould numbers now, I am amazed at what LEGO can
do now.
+ the led lights are usually good enough to illuminate your subject
Negative remarks
- the 8 lights do reflect on the object and will sometimes be visible in the
captured photo
- comes without proper stand, the default is not good enough. Sold separately
(or free if…)
- No camera raw image capture, limiting the possibilities for later editing (maybe
different webcam software would help... I don't know if any is available.)
- The center of view is in focus, at distance there is some blurring and reduced
light. (Because the short focal length this is to be expected).
- A perfect vertical mount in the universal stand is difficult. Again, “good
enough”.
- I have mine connected to my computer. It does not come with it own software,
but uses the general camera software (like a webcam).
- There is colour adjustment in that software, some colours are difficult to
capture.
- I had some problems with the image freezing, replacing the provided cable with
a new one and adjusting the computer setting that allowed the computer to shut
down usb devices for power saving seem to have almost completely fixed the problem
- It should be possible to connect the device to my phone by WIFI, but I never
used it that way. It would use the wifi connection that also connects the phone
to the internet, and I don’t want to remove that automatic connection.
Resolution:
The captured image is 3840 x 2160 pixels (~8 MP in 16:9 aspect ratio).
Placing an object under the protective cover/shield, I can fill the image frame
with 1 cm. That 1 cm is captured with 3840 pixels (long edge of the image). Placing
the object within the cover, a bit more magnification is possible.
There is a second focal point, although it is more tricky to find which shows
approximately 2.85 mm to 3840 pixels (again, object below the cover). This means
that 0.01 mm details can be seen.
At the other end, moving the microscope up to increase the field of view, I can
take an image of a 2x4 brick. I guess the maximum would be about 35 mm width
(4 studs and a bit), but then the effects of the distance from the focal point
become clearly visible.
This captured digital image can then be displayed on your phone or computer screen.
When I worked in a printshop, we advised prints of 150 pixels per inch. (Then
the print will appear to be sharp under normal viewing circumstances, assuming
that the original image was sharp.)
3840 / 150 = 25.6
25.6 inch = 65 cm
So large screens or prints should be no problem.
Sample images
The captured images were taken at 3840 pixels, and then later scaled to 1000
for upload on this forum.

| I was looking in the LEGO aisle in a Kmart store here in Australia and noticed
there was a couple of non-LEGO brand construction sets that contained some clone
pieces that looked very similar to LEGO brand bricks and slopes. They were labelled
"Dinosaur construction" on the box, and contained parts to build dinosaurs
from clone bricks.
This is just a heads-up to anyone in Australia who might sort out LEGO brick
collections they pick up at flea markets or auctions. They are not LEGO products
and cannot be sold or parted out on this site.
They were extremely similar to LEGO brick designs, on the box information it
was from China as a Kmart brand exclusive.
I left them on the shelves where they belong. I'm not going to post a link
or photos, this message is simply to alert buyers and sellers to yet another
clone brick brand that might get mixed in with genuine LEGO bricks.
I put this message in off-topic as I figured that was the appropriate place for
it.
Cheers ...

| I just got this message
"Bonjour
J'ai passé une commande chez vous le 7 avril 2023 au nom (name) concernant
un casque clone trooper(14553)
ID Suivi (removed)
Je viens de recevoir le colis et à ma grande surprise c'est de l'huile
essentiel pour les cheveux !!
Pouvez vous me dire comment récupérer la pièce commandée...
merci"
Which is to funny if its translating correctly. from what I can gather with translation
they are saying
"Good morning
I placed an order with you on April 7, 2023 in the name of (name) for a clone
trooper helmet (14553)
Tracking ID (removed)
I just received the package and to my surprise it is essential oil for the hair!!
Can you tell me how to get the part ordered...
THANKS"
for reference they order this helmet
and this is the package size
18 × 13 × 5 cm
30 g so I don't even know if its large enough for essential oil for hair
or if you can even legally sent that stuff in a tiny bubble envelope international
I told them I have it on video of me finding the part and that something must
be lost in translation or they messaged the wrong seller and am waiting to hear
back.
And yes I can confirm I never sent them essential oil for hair and I remember
shipping them this correct item as it stuck out to me as interesting as a 0 feedback
user from France who just registered and ordered 1 helmet from Canada and nothing
else so do you think this is an attempt at fraud or did something get lost
in translation

| Is it possible, in Brickstore, to compare one field to another?
E.g. when filtering, I would like to see if I my cost is greater than my price.

| Sammi is still hanging in there. She will not get off my desk or out of my lap.
I am so happy that she is here. We got a chemo treatment for her, but there
is no way to get the pill down her throat. It is a pill they told us not to
touch with out unprotected gloves. We decided to discontinue that because it
totally stresses her out and drives her away from us. There is a steroid pill
that we can bury in her food that does help and also makes her hungry. She has
lost a lot of weight and it is heart breaking to see her so small and frail.
I have come to accept that she will not be with us much longer and that as soon
as she is suffering it will be time.
My wife and I go to see musicales and in two weeks is Cats, (12th time I will
have seen that.) They are season tickets and bought as part of a package. I
want to go, but do not know if I can take that, it is a beautiful musical.
