Sure,
Lego keeps track of parts being used in specific colors with Element IDs (Part
Color Codes). And sometimes update them with new numbers to float currently in-use
parts to the top of their filing system. Kinda like renaming an old Word document
to remind yourself that you're still working on it.
There used to be a naming convention for ID #s, but now (I think, 41XXXXX onwards)
they just go up in numerical order.
So,
Color - Element ID - Chronological Order (1,2,3...)

before raising the issue further? Going off of other BL packages with tracking,
recent orders from Germany have taken about 10 days to 2 weeks to arrive - it's
been 9 days now, so would a month be fair?

Yeah that's fair. Unless other buyers mention shipping delays?
In the absence of tracking details or 'delivery attempt was made' post-cards,
you should definitely check your local mail hub once a week. A good amount (about
a fifth) of my undelivered packages are from Germany and they get sent back as

But the color and size were a bit underwhelming, so the current idea is using
Bright Bluish Violet / Trans-Purple for a bigger and better brick. But haven't

The problem here is that the seller is not sure if it was courier's fault
or your fault (that you were not there, you did not check your mailbox for a
notice from PostNord...)
For this reason, and if you paid via PayPal, what I would do in your place is
that I send a message to the seller and I assure him that I am sure the package
was not delivered or there were no attempt of delivery for this reason, I explain
this is not my fault and It is the responsibility of seller to reship the package
but I offer to pay half of the costs (20 Euro + cost of reshipping) and explain
to him that you can get a full refund from PayPal anyway if he does not resend
it.
If you paid via bank transfer, you don't have any leverage to get your money
back. So in that case, I would just pay the whole payment but explain to this
seller that it is his responsibility to pay for reshipping the same as if the
package gets lost.
This should not be a serious problem and I hope you two can find a solution in
a friendly manner!

Your logic is irrefutable! (Seriously though)
It happens from time to time, unfortunately. In some cases, it's easier to
forgive and forget. If you can, call or visit the local mailing hub every 9 days
for unclaimed packages or shortly after estimated delivery.

fake. It doesn't seem super likely, but I don't see anything about the
variant with a quick google search. I thought it might have been a production
change over time, so I checked a couple of the ones in question against Bricklink

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)
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.

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.

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.

I have soft spots for everything you mentioned, and others like Aquazone, Exo-Force

*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

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,
