  Can’t find a listing. I assume someone cut off her hair attachment. Gave me
some pause to wonder particularly as Lego has been embracing those who don’t
all look the same. Why not bald? Though even someone bald may want to wear
a cool Lego hat.

  Is there any other obvious differences ?

The impressions on the sides and bottom look different

The handles too. It's easier to see in the other images.

  so I heard back from them and as I was expecting their was a catch for the free
local pickup which is you have to ship at least 250 packages a week with them

O__O

Easy fix, a "scoop from the same bin" subscription service called Pizza_Box.
  but all in all not bad and they have a drop off 5 min away so I may try them
out and give an update if/when that happens but ill probably stick with chit
chats until the last day I can ship with them which is a couple weeks out

Thanks for the consideration, and any other input.

FTR I do agree with you (whether due diligence is a valid or invalid reason to
cancel is worth noting) but don't see a password lock being implemented.

The top of the Terms page is great spot for a GIF/photo. Usually the first thing
people notice during checkout.

Like a minifig fighting for its life, buckling under a pile of packages, and
a speech bubble alluding to a bit of delay. Something Mfav-vy, then a follow-up
in plain English.

  Hi. Brand new to the forum and excited to be a late Lego bloomer. My fiance and
I had recently bought a house and most of the belongings were left behind. I
noticed a giant box of Lego that looked to be in immaculate condition, so I started
going through it and realized I had a complete Lego 375 castle set along with
a bunch of other vintage complete sets. My question is, how do I distinguish
between the versions? I'm curious what version I have of the 375. It's
not 375/6075, the manual just says 375. Nothing else. I have attached a photo.
The manual is in excellent condition too. They took care of their toys. Any
help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

  Brick seperaotrs could get the big chunks off, but not the residue, thus the
screwdriver. Have you ever used Isopropyl Alcohol? I saw that and warm water
were the two biggest suggestions, but don't know which one will work better.

Thanks, Noah

I recommend these adhesive removal wipes. Safe on skin, friendly to fingernails,
and removes residue in seconds.

Actually, v1 is classified as
 
Part No: 48729a  Name: Bar   1L with Clip Mechanical Claw - Rounded Edges
* 
48729a Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw - Rounded Edges
Parts: Bar
and both v2 and v3 are classified as
 
Part No: 48729b  Name: Bar   1L with Clip Mechanical Claw - Cut Edges and Hole on Side
* 
48729b Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw - Cut Edges and Hole on Side
Parts: Bar

There is now also a v4 that is listed under 48729b, too.

The admin team sees no reason to further differentiate such a common and ubiquitous
part beyond the first version which is not in System and the other three that
are.

Cheers,
Randy

TIL, thanks for sharing!

  The variations between A & B
Is the difference between the ends?
A: rounded edges
B: cut edges and hole on side

Or the Claw End and the Slope? Does the cut edge only have the hole, rounded
edge has no hole?
Or is there something else that I'm missing in the comparison?

  Fulfillment of orders is critical to the success of the pilot and we asked the
bigger sellers to take a chance on supporting this initiative in order to hopefully
be able to prove the success and move forward with a complete program in the
future - at which time we will not only be working with a select group of sellers.

Until then, the smaller unselected stores will see lower and lower sales while
the Bricklink/TLG approved stores will see increased sales.

Sounds great for the selected shops.

To think the day would come when Easy Buy finally gets its chance to shine.

A micro build contest could be fun and fair for everyone? BDP Series 2½?

  I build a lot of MOCs, and PAB/BAP used to be more cost-efficient when compared
to Bricklink; nowadays, it's on-par with Bricklink prices since they revised
the entire system and made parts cost more - not to mention the sales tax and
whatever

It's almost always better to buy on Bricklink as there are rarely any part/lot
limits & you don't have to worry about parts being OOS like you do on PAB

Yes, Lego did say that this PAB competition thing wouldn't happen once they
bought BL, but at the same time it's just for the designer program MOCs which
Lego is going to produce anyways (essentially being the same thing as buying
the set)

It's not like they have a banner to PAB on the BL homepage or advertise it
in any way
