They ARE different. There is at least one official Lego set (IIRC the AT-ST Raider

I presume you're talking about the part ins Studio? If so the proper Studio
forum is here - https://forum.bricklink.com/
However to help with this issue, you could always place a plate underneath where
you want the parts and then attach to that, then delete the plate.
I'm not noticing any issues with placing these parts side by side though.
There is a grid setting which adjusts fine movements. You could also try turning

I think this is a big problem with the NSS overall; the seller shipped, but did
not send the correct parts as ordered. I think this should come under a different
complaint to someone that didn't ship anything (or order never arrived).
It's easy for the seller to post an image/proof to show they shipped something
(which will cause the NSS to be removed), but it doesn't prove they shipped
the correct something! The buyer still might not have the items they paid for.

I now need to source these 10 pieces but on their own could end up paying much

and just pay all the postage?

Create a "Wanted List" of the parts you require. Then click "Buy
All" - select the region where you want to buy from ("United Kingdom"
and it will list the sellers only in the UK with the parts. Those at the top
of the list have the most parts required. You can select the seller with the
most parts with lowest price and shipping easily.

If you want to export just an image of your creation then you just select the

He could always get a new replacement box off BrickLink for less than 10 £/$/Euros
including postage - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?O=75335-1#T=S&O={%22ss%22:%22UK%22,%22rpp%22:%22200%22,%22iconly%22:0}
That's about as much as I'd refund (if I were a seller and in your shoes)
- certainly not 50% of the cost, especially since it's difficult to prove
if the box was damaged during transit or afterwards...
I know collectors like to keep boxes in mint condition, but most collectors would
have bought the set when it was first released and not when it's just about
to retire. Something that old is likely to have shelfwear/scuffs etc.

As for soil, some 1x1 round plates in the brown ranges (brown, dark brown, reddish

Sounds like you might have changed the Palette options. The Main palette allows
all parts (but shows in white), the "BDP Series X" palettes show the
available parts in the available colours. Remember these are BDP parts and not
every part available in the Main palette is available.
Just click the colour palette menu (under "Insert" on my Windows machine)
and choose the palette you want.

The solution is to right-click and use “Reset camera origin.”
You can also use the menu View | Zoom to Fit.
| | Highlight the whole screen area with the left mouse button. It makes all the
distant, invisible parts glow bright blue, then right mouse click on the glowing
bits and select "Pan to Cursor" and zoom in.

|
Actually, your solution may not work.
‘F’ = Pan to Cursor
As the name implies, it moves the view to center it on the mouse pointer.
That doesn’t mean it centers or re-zoom on the selected parts.
What happens is:
— if there’s no parts below the cursor, it will center on the point on the Ground
below the mouse pointer,
— if there’s a part below the cursor, it will center on the point on the part
just below the pointer (not on the part itself, just on the bit that’s pointed).
So, if, like Boboby, you end up with an empty screen, there may be no parts to
select, there’ll no parts to show highlighted. And the selecting before right-click
+ Pan to Cursor just ensures there’s a part below the mouse pointer when you
Pan to Cursor.

Unfortunately Lego colour naming does indeed differ from Bricklink's (and

Here's a website that lists the Lego nomenclature and the BL alternative

TBH the colour of bricks in a single set can differ significantly (white, dark
red and dark blue can be really bad from presonal experience), but in general
the colour is generally consistant. Don't expect a perfect match with any
two Lego piecess and you'll be OK... So, yeah. And no!

As for value, it's only as valuable as someone is prepared to pay and it's

I reckon that Lego will produce his Star Destroyer next year which will include
him (and hopefully some of those funky Stormtroopers). Everyone knew Thrawn was
coming in Ahsoka, even before the show aired. Lego would have known this too.
I'm pretty sure that Lego would not ignore such a major character. Especially
one they know has a high value mini-fig already.

The frame is initially flimsy, but once the panels are all on it does improve

-Correct me if I'm wrong but, Can't you only buy the instructions at
checkout with the rest of the parts order(s)? I though that was the deal here...
I was also under the impression that the instructions for these particular MOCs
were not going to be available anywhere else, at least not while they are actively
being sold in the MOC popup promotion.
|
Nope. There are ways and means. You don't have to do it that way.
The instructions can be sold anywhere at any time. Neither Lego or BrickLink
purchased the rights to the MOCs and the MOC content creator can do whatever
they want with them at any time. They can sell on alternative channels, give
them away for free, offer parts lists etc. etc. etc.
The instructions do not have to be sold only as part of the MOC Pop-Up store.
You are free to contact the MOC creators if you wish.
Baring that in mind, the MOC Pop Up store is just an experiment at this time
and Lego/BL will be getting lots of data and feedback about how it's working,
the problems with it and what people may want from it in the future. Let them
know your thoughts. They know that not everyone is happy, but it's just a
(small) experiment at this point, with no guarantee of a future. With more data,
more input and more sales it will likely return, but better. So, while you can
circum-navigate procedures, if you want to see more (but better) programmes in
the future, then perhaps give them feedback, or better still more money!!!

Yeah, me too I can cherry pick one definition for each category in the catalogue
to make sure its parts don’t fit
For choosing names for categories, the question would be: do the parts fit at
least one of the common “global” definitions for the word.
For particular parts, the question would be: what differentiates that part from
the other parts that are already in that category and what would make it not
fit in that category?
Maybe Cylinder is a bad category and we should have Panel, Round for those panels
and something else for the other “cylinders” (Brick, Round? (Hemi)Spheres?).

I don't envy anyone deciding where each component should go - if you put
it in one, people will argue it should be in the other. Good luck to the Catalog

Make sure that you are using the highest level of detail in the options - sometimes
low detailed images cause collision issues.
"Collision" warnings can be turned off; just click the icon. Studio isn't

Unless you've sold the rights to your design, then they are yours to do with
as you please. As you are inferring the model is nearly three years old, I would
check that all your parts/colours are available in the upcoming/current BDP parts
catalog/palette if you wish to enter it. Lots of common (and not so common) parts
are not available for BDP as Lego may not be using them in consumer products
in the next year or two. If you set up Studio correctly with the recent BDP palette
and turn on recommended settings, you will be informed if parts/colours are no
longer available - if so, you will have to make changes.
Go for it!

This copy has a few parts in both old and new Dark Red. The quarter cylinders

It can be terribly brittle. I lost a fair number of dark red plates when disassembling
a Lego Star Wars Republic Cruiser (7665) and a few more on another SW set. Luckily
I could replace all of them fairly cheaply on BrickLink.
I've lost far more dark red parts than reddish brown (brittle brown), despite
having more reddish brown than dark red parts. Dark blue is another colour that
is brittle - although, tbf I don't recall having any db breakages.
The real brittle ones can just crumble in your fingers without any stress.
