Found in a lot of old lego, for sure not lego it says PM on the side (2nd image).
Curious if it is a brand or just some knock off cheap garbage supermarket collectable
toy 
Thank you..

Sorry, het zit anders: Als je de grens van €10.000 omzet uit andere EU landen
overschrijdt, moet je die nieuwe regels toepassen voor al je bestellingen naar
andere EU landen (dat wil zeggen: je moet een BTW nummer hebben, en BTW heffen
over die bestellingen). Die regel gaat dus vóór de KOR.
(Je mag voor je Nederlandse omzet wel gewoon de KOR blijven toepassen, maar dat
lijkt me een slechte deal aangezien je dan ook geen BTW kan aftrekken van je
inkopen)
|
Als men als (kor) de vat heeft uitstaan dan komt er op de maandelijkse fees van
bricklink btw bijgerekend
Maar moet men deze dienst/handeling ook niet aangeven als bijzondere belasting
en nog eens btw betalen?
|
Als kor mag je geen btw aftrekken/opgeven bij de belastingdienst, maar je betaald
deze natuurlijk wel gewoon aan leveranciers (als die btw-plichtig zijn).

This’s exactly how I do my laundry: I put all my clothes in a hermetic bag before
putting the bag in the machine. The bag gets out really clean!
But I don’t get why people grimace when I’m upwind to them 
IOW: if the peroxide is not in contact with the plastic, how can they react together?
|
My experience on (older) discolored items...
Although peroxide works on discolored white parts, it does not (properly) work
on discolored blue or grey parts.
However putting the items behind glass (e.g. HR+, HR++) in sunlight does work
on discolored white, blue and grey items. Maybe not all, maybe not perfectly
but I have had good results over the past years. Other colors I don't know.
Discoloring however may return after some time.

Geen prototypes, gemaakt door personeel in de baas z’n tijd met andere kleuren

No prototypes, made by employees in workingtime in (for these parts or minifigs)

A PN does not constitute a structural difference to the part, so the presence
or absence of a PN does not result in a seperate catalog entry. Nor does the
'pat pend' text printed on many old vintage parts. (We have tried but
it was not accepted, and that's for the better as well it would create a
chaos in the catalog.)
Besides that, I think that many if not (almost) all vintage parts like these
are already in the catalog. I myself and a few other collectors have done a great
job some 10 years ago the add many vintage parts.

| Admin,
Thank you for this message. I've reserved the name 'leggodtshop'
with my LEGO account and also changed (already) the nickname of my BrickLink
account accordingly. Both were accepted! Thank you!
However, my store is named Leggodt.nl and when I tried to change that to Leggodtshop.nl
it was rejected. The name was not allowed to contain an imitation of the word
lego....... with respect to that it already does so what's the problem? LEGO
has by no means reserved the word Leggodt in any way, so why doe sBrickLink not
allow this?
So it seems there is some discrepancy in what is allowed and what not. Since
LEGO accepted my nickname and BrickLink too, would it be possible for BrickLink
to accept it as storename too?
Many thanks!
Paul

| | Dear BrickLink member,
We’ll be making some changes to the LEGO® Account system in 2023 that’ll make
things a bit easier for you and other BrickLink® members. We’re introducing a
universal LEGO nickname that will work in all online LEGO experiences, including
BrickLink. This means that your username on BrickLink will be the same as your
LEGO Account nickname. That way, you’ll only have to keep track of one nickname,
and it’ll be easier for others to follow you and enjoy your LEGO content.
Right now, we’re giving our BrickLink and LEGO Ideas members a chance to create
and reserve their preferred nickname before we open the service to other LEGO
account holders. If you already have a LEGO Account, we’ll ask you to do a quick
setup on that account by following the link below. All you must do is submit
your BrickLink username as your new LEGO Account nickname. That’s how we’ll make
sure you get the nickname you prefer, on BrickLink, LEGO Ideas and everywhere
else!
If you do not have an account already, follow the link below to create an account
and to select your own nickname.
We understand how important it is to you that other BrickLink members recognize
you on our site, so we encourage you to complete the nickname setup as soon as
you can.
There’s one more thing, though. For trademark and copyright reasons, nicknames
can’t contain words like “LEGO” or “BrickLink” We appreciate all our BrickLink
members, and we understand that changing your nickname isn’t necessarily something
you’d like to do. It’s all part of our work to provide our BrickLink members
with the best possible way to connect with the LEGO brand and each other, and
we hope you’ll feel the benefits of this going forward.
If you find your nickname is rejected for this reason, we encourage you to use
other words related to the LEGO brand like “brick” or “build.” See what fun and
personal combinations you can make!
Anyway, here’s what you need to do:
• Follow this link to log in to your LEGO Account or to create a new LEGO account
https://identity.lego.com/en-US/profile?returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bricklink.com%2F&clientid=0fd7ca3b-3a33-48e3-a747-8ec6f09557c1&appContext=false&adultexperience=true&hideheader=true&hideclosebutton=false&hideexternallogin=false&childsignupexperience=
• Click the Edit icon next to your avatar
• Choose your preferred nickname in the field
• Click Submit and wait a few seconds for your nickname to be approved
• That’s it! You’re all set!
Please select your preferred nickname by the 16th of January 2023. If you’re
not able to change it by this time, we’ll give you an auto-generated nickname.
PLEASE CHECK THESE GUIDELINES BEFORE SUBMITTING A NEW NICKNAME
A nickname...
• can be created in the languages available within a LEGO experience, e.g., LEGO.com
or LEGO Life.
• must be between 4-25 characters in length
• can contain both upper- and lower-case letters
• can be a mix of characters and numbers
• can include a maximum of 4 numbers
• can only include the following special signs: ‘.’ and/or ‘-‘and/or ‘_’
• can include spaces, but not two or more consecutive spaces
• can’t contain the LEGO wordmark including any variations that make it look
as if the name indicates an individual representing the LEGO Group
• can’t contain a LEGO franchise that is a trademark owned by the LEGO Group
• can’t contain a name from another intellectual property not owned by the LEGO
Group (example: Star Wars)
• can’t contain an email address or other contact info
• can’t contain references to other social platforms
• must adhere to the standard LEGO moderation guidelines including but not limited
to political or religious topics, drugs and alcohol, weapon references, hate
speech, profanities, violence, or abusive language

it is my fault because it arrived at the same time, and that it takes a very
long time etc (package has been sent to Ukraine and because of the war it just
takes a long time (I can't do much about it))
Now the customer started blackmailing me that I had to pay him €46 because this
is my fault (customer also buys EX VAT from me so already has 21% tax advantage
(€65 so more than €46).

It's said it's possible that rubber part like the truck tyre degrade

35 degree cel outdoor.
How about the remote control for train? Will it have any problem after long term

On a similar note, do lego bricks still discolor if kept in the dark? Or is the
discoloration due to ultraviolet light?
|
Darkness is the perfect condition for avoiding discoloration as far as I know.
|
I don't know about that... lego is meant to be in the light to play with,
so the materials are chosen to be colorproof in the light not in the dark
Older parts I know of have been faded in the dark, white-greyish, blue-greenish,
but when I put them in the sunlight (behind the windowglass) the color comes
back to original. Hence "proving" my point above

Ok, Russell. Thx.
We work hard last month and open Limited Liability Partnership in Kazakhstan.
This gave us a chance to continue working with our foreign customers. Now we
will move the Bricklink Store to this country. There are all the necessary documents
and an address to confirm the existence in this country.
Admin_Russell, I and all guys from Favorite Cubes kindly ask you to make the
address change confirmation fast, as we cannot wait 1-2 weeks.

This seems like a major change for your shop, are you moving all stock to the
new place in Kazakhstan? Are you also moving yourself to Kazakhstan and live
there?

How can a russian store pay the monthly BL fee these days?
I am an admin of quite big russian Bricklink store named GoldFish, wich located
in Moscow city, Russia. I have a problem, I tryed to pay my monthly fee bill
but it's impossible to do that from Russia nowadays:
1) Tried tp pay with Paypal: PayPal says: "To comply with international regulations,
this transaction has been declined."
2) Tried to pay with bank card: "Card declined. Try another card."
I am sad, disapointed and worry! What may I and other sellers from Russia do
in this case? We spent years for our honest job and don't want to lose our
businesses!

I am sad, disappointed and worried too! What can we do to stop all this madness

So you should know what to do.

There are many more humans spending years for honest jobs and do not want to
lose that either. Still, they do currently in the blink of an eye. Ask yourself
why that is. Your problem with paying BrickLink fees will seem a minor issue.

It seems to me that you will need to go to PayPal or your Bank, since they do
not allow payments anymore. That is not caused by BrickLink, so BrickLink cannot
solve it either.

| | Are there any good resources for figuring out which bricks are genuine and which

I assume there's lots of sorting taking place and some people have more experience
telling stuff apart. The bulk of stuff is pretty obvious. Color sets certain
brands easily apart. Specific parts are unique to certain brands. Some Lego
has brand identification on it but not all. Or, may be there but too small to
actually see.
However, there still are near identical parts with near identical colors. Has
anyone found resources to help tell them apart?
This is of benefit to the community. This would help avoid the problem of an
inexperienced seller accidentally sending a non-Lego item improperly sorted from
a used lot.

If you are visiting the museum and are tired of all the great sets, wooden LEGO,

Why not take a break and go see something nice and quiet
The 26th I will be there too, if you are going, let me know and I can maybe meet

I am puzzled by the fact that I receive most orders on Monday and not on Saturday

I understand that you use the weekend to spend on your hobby, but why do you
place the order on Monday, the day you should be at work? And not on Sunday evening?
Do you use Sunday night to 'sleep on it?' And if so, why?
Of course I understand that orders from the USA that are placed on Sunday evening
will only arrive on Monday evening. But I'm not talking about that.
It is the orders from Europe that always arrive on Mondays. And the rest of the
week you can just forget about: no orders. This, of course, only pertains to
my small shop.
Anyway, I have packed my weekly 3 orders placed on Monday (all from The Netherlands)
and ship them tomorrow.

Monday is not a busy day at work? So best spent (work) time for your hobby purchases

From a legal point of view, if you are an business and bought the items new from
another business (and have not played with it) you may resell it as new. However,
if you are a private person, or you bought the items from a private person, it
is used even if you have never played with it.
In this particular case... new but damaged? What's the point in selling it
as new? Do you think it will go for a higher price? It is damaged! Sigh...

| | Hello,
AGAIN I received the customs for an order from EU to extra-EU for which I already
paid taxes in advance.
AGAIN I will have to start a fight with the seller who will try any way to avoid
refunding me, as it happened before.
AGAIN the seller attached the BL invoice that seems to be USELESS right now.
Now, let's face it, it was easier back then. You don't pay taxes in advance,
you pay them when you receive your goods and it's all.
What will happen? Either of:
1) People from outside EU will stop selling to EU sellers, losing a lot of money.
2) If the order is small, people will contact the seller, ask if they can buy
those 3 4 items and do it OUTSIDE bricklink. So they don't pay taxes, they
don't pay 3% of BL fees, and everyone is happy.
Has BL to collect taxes due to some laws? That is fine. I can cope with that.
But this doesn't mean any way that a buyer must pay two times taxes. This
is a theft. I'm not
exaggerating. It's purely a theft. I am asked to pay something that I already
paid for!
And... btw if BL is forced to do this, why isn't that happening with eBay
purchases? With eBay, everything is going well as usual. Shouldn't eBay be
forced to follow the same rules?
Sorry... but something is wrong here.
I see no solutions, and this is going to be very very bad for Bricklink.
It's somewhat downfall... and I was really afraid to witness it sooner or
later.
|
This happens because BL is not implementing it full service. They just do what
the must do only nothing more. However if BL is doing things as ebay they will
become the seller and you are no longer the seller, just a provider of goods.
Do you want that?

One difficulty is that PayPal might have the buyer ship the order back to the

And another is one buyer not sending. If one posts what they incorrectly received

So what do you prefer? Solve the issue amongst each other with some extra cost

I suggest you take your loss of the cost of shipping to each other, then at least
that problem is solved.
Of course start a NSS or NRS with the seller, but if that will resolve much

If there is a fire you also will put it out first before investigate the cause.

I would file a claim with PayPal. If the seller doesn't reply to that and
you get your money back, then you can arrange shipping the correct packages to
