I added an image for Sabine based on the instructions (pg. 54). Hopefully, my
memory is correct for how minifigs are oriented when they have helmet/hair variations.

I think all the figures are now pending with images.

You used to have to be the item submitter to add images while it's pending.
Has this changed?

  Maybe you would like to submit images to speed up the process?

Cheers,
Randy

It's a catalog credits game. Find a rumor/leak or whatever just to be the
first to add it to the catalog, then let it sit.

There's really no reason to add it at that point, such as these figures added
back in July.

They have been pending since July.

This is exactly why I don't bother with the catalog much anymore. People
start listing things the moment there is a rumor and then they sit. There have
been plenty of times where I have the actual item in hand (sometimes even early)
and would be willing to add it with weight and photos, but I won't engage
in these games.

I am in the market for the new Gringotts set. I only want the bags for the upper
(main) structure and corresponding instructions(if possible). No minifigs, dragon,
vault system, box, etc.

USA preferred due to shipping costs. Please use BL messaging.

Cause it's $7,800 and you get 80 boxes (36 count).

You brought it to the forum intending to shame the seller. I wouldn't be
surprised if a ton of sellers refuse to sell to you.

Also, some sentence structure helps.

  
  Mike ok mike your going too far with this can we come a agreement i didn’t want to make you mad or your staff I just wanted to ask you or staff if I can get parts with solid studs on the bottom of the brick was that too hard to ask mike and mike your now harassing your self can we just put this to a stop and talk normal human being on Instagram or email in the first place you should have not gone that route the stop list and I won’t have called you and your staff idiots and on past orders I gotten no response on orders and I wanted to make sure your staff and you understand me what I was asking not request or being rude in any way and I think other buyer gave you back feedback there idiots who gave you bad feedback after I got the order I gave you positive line always in the past orders and mike old lego sets have parts with solid studs on the bottoms of the bricks and plates i have so many sets with them

Yep, and they decided that collectors would love to have stickers for important
details. They could have just raised the price $25-50, but instead they refuse
to listen to their fans.

$650 is a premium product, not just some toy for kids.

is the ever expensive Captain Rex. Most important of all, however, the early
access begins on my birthday.

Sometimes I talk to myself, and when myself is busy, I talk to the dog. Other
times I complain to the BL forum. It's all really the same.

Why are we talking when we could be building Lego sets, anyway? Is typing considered
talking nowadays

  Why is there no one to talk to?

Until sold or the official listings go live.

Please find custom lot in store. BL won't let me sell it the easy way with
visibility.

I think I do free shipping on $49.

Bummer. I was hoping it would allow me to purchase the instructions and source
the needed parts myself. I already have a decent-sized personal collection to
pull from.

Also, the system automatically seems to choose stores with the highest quantity
of parts to fulfill the MOC. This tends to be the highest priced stores on the
site.

Despite wanting a couple of the larger MOCs, I will have to pass.

That's better news!

  Just a point of clarification - even though we have confirmation that these are
genuine elements from a real LEGO mold does not mean these elements ever officially
made it into production. From our community members' analysis on the external
side, they never found one example among hundreds of minifigures tested that
had come from official sets.

So as far as we know, these were never officially released, at least in the traditional
sense of the word.

I don't think this is good news at all. This means that Lego willingly produced
very shoddy minifigs that by all measures seem fake. Cheap translucent plastic,
loose joints (arms and hips/legs).

  This is great news Russell. Hopefully those YouTubers aren't silly enough
to argue with the results of testing from an internal LEGO department (who would
know more about the subject than anyone.) Aw, who am I kidding? They're
going to refute the evidence no matter what. It's their drama-loving nature.

Yes, it was a bit frustrating. I found 10 different packet codes in a fresh
Marvel series 2 box, so I bought those. I ended up with 2 of Storm and 2 of
Goliath. I was hoping this method would yield 10 different figures out of 12.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a scale with me at the time and I was out of
town, so I have to wait until they stock the figures locally.

It's going to be a lot easier to get repeats. Maybe the value of full sets
and opened characters will be higher. Any thoughts?

I wouldn't bother unless you have special / rare colors. Shipping would
likely be near as much as they cost at Walmart and Target.

How did you arrive at that number?

In the USA 650 points = $5

20 pts (bl) $x
------ (eq =) --
650 pts (bl) $5

I got $0.15. Maybe it is too early for me to do math?

(bl) blank
(eq =) equals
--- fraction

I wonder if the market for all those manuals that do not sell will finally blossom?

It is probably more economical for the seller to scan them for the points and
recycle them. Are the costs for posting bulk booklets worth it for the VIP/Insider
points.

IIUC, it’s 20 points per instruction, so €0.02667.

  Hi

Just finished the Hogwarts Icons build and I can not figure what to do with the
2 little podium-like things that I build at the very end (pages 396 & 397).
The only moment I saw them was on the picture at the end of the book (the picture,
with what I'm talking about: https://i.imgur.com/JQGGHTw.png), and it's
just sitting there.
On every video or picture I found other than that one, it doesn't appear.
It has an axle coming out, so it must go somewhere, I assume.

Am I being blind on that one? Anyone knows?
Thanks

FYI- This issue is probably not related to today's site problems. I just
only decided to write about it today, but I've experienced it for about 2
weeks.

You can have your mail held while on vacation. I'm not sure how the USPS
would handle large packages.

  I feel the package is more likely to be victim of a porch pirate in the US, I
don't think USPS cares if you're on vacation or not, they will just leave
it at the mailbox.

I will usually give someone 3 days to pay and then send the invoice a second
time, finally at 7 days I start the NPB process.

Also, section 18 in the TOS. BL can also refuse service just like CNH1974 alleges
happened to them by an unknown seller. Not that I expect this to occur before
a warning.

18. Breach; Termination of Account:
We reserve the right to suspend, or terminate your account, delete all of your
data and deny you access to any or all of your data stored at the Site if you
breach these Terms or if we are unable to verify or authenticate any information
you provide to us.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we also reserve the right to terminate
your account, delete all of your data and deny you access to any or all of the
Site's features at any time for any reason without prior notice.


  
  Report them for what? What part of the TOS did they violate? BL cannot force
anyone to sell to anyone else.

If I was the buyer, I would ask this seller why they are treating a repeat customer
this way and then move on to another store.

Orders are supposed to be a binding contract. At a minimum the store should
be required to post terms that outline which orders will be refused. BL admins
could potentially enforce this.

(I'm not suggesting that the store should be banned from selling)
