| | Hi all!
Is there someone who knows this yellow one?
- Written '542' on the lower part. The letters before '542' is
unreadable for me, maybe 'S.Q.U.I.D' ?
- '@2021 The LEGO Group.' on the pole part.
- 23L, 18cm
Thanks in advance

It might be clutch strength measuring/testing tool that they use in the mould
making department. I vaguely remember something like this having come up on a
LEGO-site a while back.

that many sellers in the hopes that they will all change is a job for a fool.
Would it be possible to just quietly change the XRef?

You've got quite the rare set that even BrickEconomy doesn't have a price
on it.

Yes, thats why my question over here. Look everywhere at the internet, no known
prices

Could you add the inventory to Bricklink? At least that would give you the part
out value as a starting point.

"It said the reason for that was because extra steps were required in the
production process, which meant it needed to use more energy.
As a result, it said it has "decided not to progress" with making bricks
from the material."
I'm somewhat skeptical. If the new bricks would have caused more carbon emissions
because they require more energy to produce, then wouldn't that be less of
an issue if the energy used to create them was sourced from wind, solar, or nuclear?
|
If some of those extra steps are during brick production (moulding factories),
then tell me which of these countries are 100% “wind, solar, or nuclear”?
China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Mexico, USA, Vietnam.
My guess is (most of) the extra steps are during the making of the raw material.
So, second question: in which country should the PET be recycled to use 100%
wind, solar, or nuclear?
You have more choice here (lots of more bad choices  ).
And then, how do you transport the to-be-recycled PET to this new recycling factory
and how do you transport the recycled pellets to the moulding factories? Without
adding more CO²?
(PET transport should be as CO²-expensive as for ABS (unless the weight is highly
different), so that question should reduce to: Without adding more transport?)
Besides, even if you found a magical country that has 100% wind, solar, or nuclear,
and that could produce the PET (yeah, that small 2-huts island won’t do), neither
wind, solar, or nuclear are 0% CO²: you’re using energy that could be used for
something else, so you’re requiring more energy capacity, so you’re requiring
more wind turbine, solar panel, or nuclear plant to be built, and that’s never
CO²-free.

Good questions making a good read.
Let's make that CO² → CO₂ and I totally agree. Did you use up all your Unicode
credits with the œ explanation? The ₂ Unicode U+2082 is intended for the fractional
part of custom fractions, but since this forum strips the (sub)2(/sub) markers,
this will do. Let's not square the carbon monoxide but stick to carbon-dioxide
only - or actually, this is more about the entire picture of energy transformation
that's irrevocably lost to entropy.

| | Hi,
I would like to know if there was any "mode" on brick studio to have
different perspectives on creation?
On Maya for example you can swap beetween 4 views like this picture and still
work on your creation.
That's the mode what i'm looking for. Is there any one on brick studio
or only the 3D view?

The program is called Studio or Bricklink Studio, and it's forum is found
at https://forum.bricklink.com
The answer to your question is yes and is found on this help page: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/5409213150487-Camera-control-in-the-viewport
Both forum and help pages can be found under the red Studio icon at the top of

| | I'm asking physically. Here's where I am:
My house is small so I can online get so many Akro-Mils into my garage. I've
got twelve and having trouble fitting in any more. My parents offered their basement
which is far larger than my house; in the open corner alone I might be able to
get thirty-six to forty-eight. Plenty of space to upscale to many times that
if they allow it. I may be able to start carrying many hundreds of thousands
of elements.
My parents also offered their labor because they're Door Dashing to make
ends meet and I want to help them out by splitting profit for their effort filling
orders during the week while I stock, fund, supply, and manage everything else.
Is this taxing on the body? My parents are aging and I wouldn't be helping
them out if they're having to strain to get orders filled. For me in my garage,
standing for hours can be painful so I'm afraid it'll put them through
hell.
I care about my parents. I put them through a lot growing up and I want to improve
their situation any way I can. They at the very least seem receptive to a BL
store.

Every time I read a story here about Akro-Mils or similar systems of 'many
tiny drawers', I think: Why? Meaning, why to have a separate drawer for each
part spread out vertically, when you can also use wider drawers that can each
hold 20 to 60 cups / bags / open boxes? If you group similar but not easily confused
parts together in a drawer, you can do many sorting operations by taking out
just a few drawers at a time and can do most work sitting. In my setup I can
easily fit 4.000 lots in a few meter cupboard space.
For bigger lots, they get split over the small lot in the drawer box and the
remainder in a ZIP bag into the 40 liter containers.

You have a source for this? Not saying it's not true but now I'm curious
I checked my set 6017 from 1987, one year after the initial release of these
flags and they already have the logo.
And as these flags in black only appeared from 1996 onward, it's safe to
assume those should have the logo.
It could also be a custom print on a genuine Lego part of course.
|
My source was just checking my collection. I have plenty of this flag in eleven
colours, all without micro printing. Most of these I bought in 2016 and 2017
from at least 10 different, reputable Bricklink sellers. Most of the ones I have
are the thin clip variety. The black ones I have definitely come from multiple
copies of .

I created a TEST Wanted List here with only one part.

Impossible to change Condition too..
Is this a bug ?
Thank you !

In one of your wanted list - and it does not have to be the current one! - there
is a duplicate entry. You have to find and fix that first before you can do any
edit on any of your wanted lists.
This duplicate entry may be caused by a catalog merge, so not necessarily something
you have done yourself.
