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,

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

vault system, box, etc.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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)

Did they specifically state this as their reason for canceling the order?

Also, is this mentioned anywhere in their terms? If not, I would report them
to BL admins. It should be required that they notify in advance that they do
not sell to other BL sellers.



  
  
  I have placed an order today with a seller who I have used 5 times before and
they have refused my order simply because I also have a store. They are convinced
I will resell their pieces on BL at a higher price.
I do know sellers who buy low and sell high. This seems to labour intensive to
me.

But is this a thing, sellers vetting customers?
If a seller refuses an order simpley because the buyer happens to have a store
as well, that is going to rule out a good proportion of this community.

Thoughts anyone.....

German seller? Starts with a B?

No, UK Seller starting with a S.
I think they could get a lot of negative feedback from this.

It can be helpful to view the inventory on Rebrickable first. Sometimes it notes
items that do not exist in the part/color combination. This could impact your
ability to completely purchase all of the parts.

Also consider that most models on Rebrickable have not been built with actual
Lego. The model may be held together with what I call digital glue.

Here's an example of a model that is neat at first glance, but has a host
of issues making it completely awful to build (I'm still not finished after
5 months and many headaches):

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-123471/legolot/black-falcons-grand-tower/#details



  Use the Wanted Items tab on the left (clue (2) on the first pic here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445
).

Before the selection, you’ll see all the items.

Once a store (or more) is selected, the items disappear from the list (or the
quantity goes to 0, it depends on the checkboxes on top and I don’t remember
the defaults).
So the remaining ones (or those with qty greater than 0) are not in the “pre-carts.”


Beware, due to “bulk lots” the percentage may be totally wrong… even greater
than 100%!
A bulk lot is when the seller wants you to buy by a multiple of a quantity, say
10, and the lots will have a “x10” next to them.  So you want 5 but buying 10
is cheaper (or more convenient / one store less to buy from), so Auto-select
will buy 10… and count 10 fulfilled and not 5.

Don’t hesitate to play with the options, select/deselect items (you can do that
in Wanted Items!) and click here and there to see what happens.
Nothing is final before you check out.  Nothing is reserved before checkout (so
you won’t annoy the sellers or the other buyers).

Also take the time to read the sellers’ terms and the items’ descriptions (the
latter especially if you buy Used).

And come back here for any other question.

Happy bricklinking

I vaguely recall problems when Lego moved to its current system with some members
losing points and having to deal with customer service to reclaim them. I recommend
tracking your points in the coming days, especially if you retain large balances.

And yet he's correct. You should change it.

For your own good. Anyone searching for your store will get redirected to Clutch's.

It's been on my list for several years, but I haven't gotten to it.

I was thinking making a 12" tall base (maybe with a drawer for bulky items),
then using a heavy duty turntable and a mix of 1/2" (4 side panels) and 3/4"
(4 rear panels and other construction) birch plywood.

Each side would be offset to minimize its floor space (see diagram for frame
details). I think 12 drawer units would be fine per tower (maybe even 16).

Space is at a premium for me. I see that Craftsman doesn't seem to have
any accessories for these. The thing would need to stand on carpet and move
smoothly and I'm just not sure that is all safely possible.

Good catch. My Magneto figure seems normal.

Still, the whole figure feels fake in terms of plastic (thin / semi-translucent).
Plus it has slight mold differences in the head and torso (like mentioned in
the video).

I have a Deadpool with full Lego logos that I am willing to bet is fake. It
seems extremely fake/cheap compared to my Storm figure that also would have come
in the same set. The comments made to distinguish a fake figure by that video
also correspond to my Deadpool.

I still believe that 99.99% of all Lego with logos are real.

  Yeah, that rumour in particular seems to be pretty bold - it makes very little
sense for a company to spend huge money on a mold with a fake Lego logo on it,
only to custom print or sell blanks for dirt cheap when you can order genuine
blanks off of PAB and make a profit

There's a video that has gone around talking about it, but it's largely
fueled by fearmongering from what I've seen

Yes. Maybe they no longer want to purchase. Missing parts can be crucial to
an order and with the current cost of postage it's hard to justify.

I just looked up the photo for the set and it would have been a nice promo.

I think it is now called ground advantage instead of 1st class.

  Can someone help me to narrow down the timeline of when LEGO started putting
LEGO logo on the 30381?
If to be more specific I need to know if the Dark Green ones came with the LOGO
or not sine they all came out in the same year, but any input is greatly appreciated.
Does not necessarily have to be connected to the color.

No it isn't.

USPS to France.
11lbs (~5 kilos) worth $1000.

1) Shipped Priority mail express international (Max. length 60", max. length
plus girth combined 108".
3 - 5 business days to many major markets
= $113.80 (retail price)

2) Shipped Priority mail international (same dimensions).
6 - 10 business days
$93.35

Max insurance coverage for both options is $650 @ $26.35


  99€ for shipping is ludicrous. I can ship for $3.59 with USPS.

Maybe it was only single sided print, such as this head:

I'm sure our inventory are from brand new book and it looks like

Do you see anything wrong for the figure?

A PO# often refers to Purchase Order, however in this instance I suspect they
just mean post office box.

In Shipping, Upstate_Brickz writes:
  Greetings Bricklink,

I have an order being shipped to a PO number, is that the same as a PO Box number?
It is "Unconfirmed" according to PayPal but is listed as their PayPal
address. So, the PayPal address matches the order address. Is this safe to send?

Thanks,

AJ
