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.

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

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.

In one of your wanted list - and it does not have to be the current one! - there

(1) Quick and dirty:
If you have a page that shows just what you need to see, copy the html page to
a multi-column Word-document so you can format it quickly as you like.
If you just want the part images, a convoluted way is to write the part numbers
as macro tags — or use Excel to format your list as "[p=" + partnr
+ "," + colornr +"]" — and paste that in the forum post editor.
Use the preview button and copy the resulting html into a multi-column Word document

(2) Professional BOM:
Import the list into Studio and use the instruction maker to add the BOM to your

For a next time, you should always check if what you part out matches with the
physical parts you put in your inventory.
As for , the hat is listed in the Extras section, which definitely
means you should check whether you have received this part in your box before
you add it to your inventory. It may or may not be there; some people may find
this part in their box and some may not. That's what's the Extras section
is about.
As for your current sales order that you can't fulfill: What I believe best
practice is to inform your customer of your problem and offer to source the part
for him, apologizing for the delay in delivery of this part might cause. Ask
the buyer what they feel is the best solution, but source the part anyway so
you'll be prepared regardless of their answer.

Welcome to Bricklink. First thing you have to understand is that Bricklink is
not a single shop; it is a platform where 17.000 stores sell their bricks and

If you buy from a store in India, there is no customs involved. If you buy internationally,
you are dependent on what regulations apply for import into India/Gujarat.

It's a 3-4-5 Pythagorean triangle, so the angle is 36.87 or its complement
of 53.13 degrees, plus a multiple of 90 degrees.
However, in a case like this it is often easier to first connect one point, then
hinge around that point and find the proper angle by trial and error. If you
look at the model from the top, you can see rather well whether the second hinge
is coming close to the ideal location. You can always hide all parts not needed

sw0532 and sw1253 as having Dark Tan Fur, but slightly different print patterns.
So I think the descriptions of these should change, because at the moment, they
are very confusing, and I'm pretty sure all the fur on these is Dark Tan.
|
Shouldn't these be viewed as minor colour variations? Just like this part
...
Some of the shades in that are very pale, through to very dark. Trying to colour
match the print colours to plastic colours is an impossible task when there is
so much variation.
|
As Jennnifer's picture shows more clearly, it is not just the colour of the
print, it is the pattern of the print on the legs that's different as well.

I don't know the exact answer to your question, but I would start with the

which probably uses simpler technology.

I have an awesome idea, and I hope you would be able to help me.
Our company sells Industrial agitators and mixers and one of our colleagues overseas
built this little model with his son ( see picture attached).
We love it! With the company’s 40th birthday coming up next year, we want to
make up little packs with these blocks to give to customers with instructions
to build their own little replica of our system.
Where in SA can I find a store to order specific blocks in bulk to make up these
sets?
I have asked the colleague for a breakdown of the exact blocks he used ( still
awaiting feedback).
Looking forward to your advice.
Kind regards,

You may have to shop outside of your country to achieve this. Looking at the
availability of there are not that many shops that have any quantity.
For the LEGO parts, I am sure you can easily find enough quantity; for the DUPLO
parts, you may run into the limits of worldwide availability depending on how
many copies of your model you want to source the parts for.
You will have to make a 'Wanted list' of all components you need and
the quantities. After that, you best use the [Buy] function to find suitable
shops.
Bricklink being a world wide platform for sellers with a catalog of 100.000 different
items in as many shops, there is a 'slight' learning curve involved in
using this site.

I am new to inventories, not sure how this is resolved.

The seven digit numbers are called 'PCC' (Part Color Combinations) on
Bricklink. You can not compare these to the Bricklink part numbers without also
mentioning the color.
The mold number usually does match the Bricklink part number, but the PCC never
does.
If you find a new PCC mentioned for a particular mold (part number) in a particular
color, you can add the PCC here: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=P
In this case, make sure the part you have is indeed Flat Silver.

You need to fix this duplicate. It may be in another of your wanted lists. Usually
this is caused when two parts in the catalog are merged.
In your list of wanted lists, the problematic lists are flagged.

Just go to https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp and enter the set number.
However, this only works for sets that have been inventoried.
If you look at the newest of sets, they may not have been inventoried yet, or
their parts may not have a price guide value yet.
So if you have been checking only the newest sets, it makes sense that you have
not succeeded. Try an older set to check how it is supposed to work.

That's a possible strategy, but not the best. Take some time to familiarize
yourself with this website. It is a lot to take in. There are extensive help
pages (bottom of the page) and it may help if you browse through the forum and/or
search for similar questions there.
Your first step was to find a single part.
Your second step was to find a set inventory containing many parts.
If there's only some parts of this set you need and you find a single shop
that has them all, feel free to buy them directly from that page.
Normally, your next step is to collect the parts you want to buy into a wanted
list. You can even make more than one wanted list and specify things like
used/new, the maximum price you are willing to pay and the quantity you need.
After you have made your wanted lists, you can go shopping effectively. It is
recommended to use the [Buy all] feature.
There are still some optional steps after this to manage all your purchases.
When time comes, you'll find out.

This limitation is one of the things that enables members like yourself to use
the site freely without concern of performance issues. Unlike many other sites,
BrickLink is a treasure trove of useful data not available anywhere else. We
can't allow people to abuse this resource at the expense of our other users.
There are no plans currently to increase the 5000-per-day call threshold for
API or other requests.

Dear Russell,
Despite Sylvain stating the 5000 limit (for the API) and mentioning images (which
don't count towards this particular limit), the OP's report is not about
that limit but about the number of shop pages you can visit in a limited time
frame. That's a much lower limit. Can you please specify what that limit
actually is? It has been changed at some time to a limit in the hundreds. Please
re-evaluate the actual limit, as this problem comes up frequently and blocks
well intending buyers from buying.
For normal - fair - use, when preparing to buy from 10 shops only, I'd like
to compare what they have in store. With each shop having on average around 10K
lots in their store, and breaking up the browsing in chunks of 100 lots per page,
that's around a 1000 pages I need to view. The top-off limit seems to be
around 200 pages only. Not quite enough for normal use.
Thanks for your reply.
Hans-Peter

and it needs constant adjustments to stay tight. it was also 1 stud wide, so
when the jaws closed everything worked together so that they fit tightly in a
single row of 10.
During the redo I decided to try 2 rows of ten and it works if you do a lot of
jiggling. What tends to happen is a single tile wants to nestle between two
sets of two on either side (see photo). Is there something like a sawtooth plate
that can grab and align the parts?

For round plates, a 60° triangular enclosure works better.
You just have to count a little differently; for each additional row the total
size increases:
1 - 3 - 6 - 10 - 15 - 21 - 28 - 36 - 45 - 55 - 66 - 78 - 91
So with a 45 (9x9x9) + 55 (10x10x10) you get to a 100.
