| | Hi!
I am having a small issue with a customer who claims te have recieved parts with
sun damage
He sent me pictures of what i believe are his own arches (or maybe other arches
out of the same order: i do not know) and the different "sun damaged"
parts picked out of the different lots/items
Since all parts have the same color on the inside and outside i suspect color
variations/inconsistencies from a parted out set (7094)
Trying to resolve the issue with the customer but i am wondering how yall are
handling this, also with the sand green, dark red, pearl gold and other color
inconsistencies, since it also seems to happen in modern new sets
Do you still opload the part?
Do you place a note on seperated lot?
Or ditch the parts in a bulk bin?
Thanks in advance!!!

| | Had this first image cross my path today, a supposedly non-glittery Avohkii.
It reminded me of a damaged one I had in my sad bin, which had a chunk of its
crest missing its trademark shininess. I had to mess with a bunch of other stripping
chemicals anyway (bonus pic of my shiny new dechromed Light Grey Hau) so I figured
I'd chuck this in some chems and see what happened.
Evapo-Rust was unreactive, unsurprisingly. I only used that because I knew it
could strip galvanisation off screws and I had the ex-chrome Hau to test (also
no reaction). Simple Green concentrate was similarly unreactive, but stripped
the Hau perfectly when used with the ultrasonic cleaner. I did manage to get
a positive reaction with IPA, and was able to get the glitter layer to go tacky.
I scraped off the majority of the central crest with my thumbnail as a proof
of concept sorta thing. I can confirm that it's just a layer over top. There's
a milky white transparent mask underneath. I feel cheated.
I've currently got it sitting overnight in a bath of acetone-based nail polish
remover (hardware store was closed, supermarket was not lmao) and will strip
the glitter 'varnish' off entirely. I'd love to know exactly what
this glitter layer is made of, if anyone has any insight? It might make removing
it a little easier.
The next question here is: what colour actually is this? I was under the impression
117 Glitter Trans-Clear was plastic with embedded glitter, not just a coating.
Would this just be 40 Trans-Clear + shiny varnish?
Cheers

Looking forward to reading about the effect of the nail polish remover - I tried
that once to remove stains from a minifig, and it dissolved the plastic altogether,
so I stopped using that...

If you've had them for that long, I'd rather vote for genuine - Lego
parts without logo were a thing in the 20th century, and the really well-made
fakes, barely distinguishable from the originals, seem to me a more recent problem.
But that's just my feeling, would need a more serious Lego historian to put

The catalog download page is here: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogDownload.asp
You can download a list of all parts, or you can download the inventory of a
single set, but there is no way to classify these parts as 'used in technic
sets' directly.
|
With BrickStore it should be possible to compile a list of all technic sets;
once you have that, you can part them all out with one click (ok, maybe two or
three). Haven't tried that though, it might be a strain on memory space to
work with that large a list.

Alternatively, there's a tick box on your store inventory page to search

| | Hello everyone,
I just recently decided to ship Lego internationally. And I wanted to add a cheap
letter mail option for minifigures. In the Netherlands, I can just ship these
minifigures in a bubble envelope and that won't cause any trouble. But I
read online that sending items in an envelope marked as letter mail internationally
is not allowed anymore. It needs to be marked as a small parcel which is significantly
more costly. But I see that some shops still offering letter mail internationally.
So I am confused as to what is possible. I would hate to use the letter mail
option just to get it sent back or held up at customs.
Thanks for reading and feedback in advance,

I'd say it depends on your carrier, and possibly your VAT status - I ship
with Austrian post, within the EU there's no problem with letters (though
the "Light package" option is cheaper here, so I use that as the standard
option). Outside of our Promised Continent I couldn't say, the horror stories
about US mail services are legion... ;p

tec means what on Bricklink is also called 'brittle blue'. It is basically
normal Blue, but changed in color by a degradation process. This is not necessarily
related to UV influence but is similar to the yellowing of white bricks.

I guess that’s why it’s “BA” and not a part ID.

If you had to employ somebody to do the work of sorting, washing, and listing,
even at minimum wage, it's unlikely to ever be worth it financially. This

I picked up a big box of mixed Lego at a charity shop recently in the U.K. that

I don’t have a clear idea what to do these these or how to power them. I’ve been
able to find ID numbers for some of the parts but that doesn’t help me immediately
on the usage front.
- 2838 motor

I checked mine, this one does have the Lego logo in the corner studs (not in

" C)", and "2.01".

Ein Punkt ist auf jeden Fall: Du brauchst mehr Angebot - wenn Du hier hingehst:
https://www.bricklink.com/storeResults.asp?sMM=4&sDD=18&sYY=2023&itemNo=&itemSeq=1&breakType=M&sortBy=1&q=&itemType=&catID=&colorID=&itemYear=&invNew=&sellerLoc=C&countryID=DE®ionID=-1&shipCountryID=AT&moneyTypeID=2&pmtMethodID=
siehst Du, dass Du nicht unter den groessten 1000 Shops in Deutschland bist,
das heisst, wer eine etwas laengere Wunschliste hat, wird wahrscheinlich nicht
bei Dir landen.
Eine Alternative zu einfach nur mehr waere eine Auswahl an Spezialteilen, die
es in nicht vielen Shops gibt. Minifigs bieten sich da an, oder seltene Sets.
Wer so etwas sucht und bei Dir findet, nimmt vielleicht noch andere Steine mit.
Und dann ins Ausland verkaufen - solange Du nur wenig Verkaeufe hast und die
Summe nicht erreichst, wo Du ein Gewerbe anmelden musst und Dich mit Steuern
und so herumschlagen, kannst Du ohne Probleme zumindest in die ganze EU liefern,
solang Du die jeweiligen Versandgebuehren richtig einplanst (Ratschlag ohne Gewaehr,
ich bin kein Jurist ).
Aber vor allem: Mehr Angebot im Shop.
Alles Gute!

Ich bin nicht sicher wo Du klickst - wenn Du im Katalog das Set aufrufst, findest
Du rechts neben dem Bild einen Punkt "Add to my Store Inventory" (bin
nicht sicher wie's auf deutsch heisst, sorry!). Da drauf musst Du klicken,
dann kommt eine Seite, in der Du alle Infos eingeben kannst - Verkaufspreis,

Dann ganz unten auf "Review Item" und bestaetigen, und es sollte in Deinem

I would have guessed them to be younger, this type of hinge wasn't used in

on. Earlier they used these connections for hinges:

For me as a collector original instructions are definitely part of the set, so

| | Hi guys
Wasn't sure how to title this, so if it doesn't make sense, sorry.
I finally got round to retrieving the 70 or more Lego models dating from early
2000s from my loft and trying to replace all the badly damaged and missing parts.
It has taken ages already to check the completeness and create individual "Want
Lists" for each model and I've now started to buy parts.
Each part in each Want List as it's model name as the "Remark"
to help keep track of what's what.
Each model only requires a 2-4 pieces, with the odd one needing up to 20.
So, I placed an order last night, which consisted of over 50 pieces, but nowhere
on the order can I find which model it was for, meaning I'm gonna have to
go through each of the 70 or some Want Lists to allocate each piece.
The way I bought was to find a part I required and then check the link in that
seller's shop to see what what else I required and clicked the Auto-Fill/Min
link.
I have created a spreadsheet in order to keep track of what I buy so I don't
end up buying duplicates or not enough of pieces where I require multiple, but
is there an easier way to disribute the received parts into the Wanted Lists
I have bought on Bricklink before and used a similar method, but not with such
a huge amount of models to take care of.
Wonder if there is a setting somewhere that adds the "Remark" to the
order receipt?
Thanks guys.

Not entirely sure if I understand you correctly, but if I do, then all you have
to do is click on the label "Parts" in the left column of the wanted
list page. That gives you a list of all parts on all your wanted lists, and tells
you which lists they are on. And you can remove them from the wanted lists individually
right there.

In Europe, afaik, it's usually the sender that has to ask the carrier to
research what happened. I had it once with a package that vanished on the way
to Hungary, so I had to file a complaint with the post office, got the refund
from them, and then refunded the buyer. It might depend on the carrier though.
(Before the whole paperwork I also asked the buyer to check with their post office,
to make sure it wasn't stuck there, which is a possibility of course. It
wasn't in that case, unfortunately.)

They are all pretty standard stickers, there are quite a few possibilities. The
Lego Logo ones look like paper, and therefore old, so I'd go with a 3 or
4 digit set. Could be one of these, for example:
[p=3068bpb0184]
The green/red thing is the Octan logo, so might be this one:
Searching for "Danger stripes sticker" gives me 10 pages of parts, and
quite a few of those in 1x4 size. Probably no way to tell which one those are
exactly.

I haven't used the My Inventory feature much, but I think not yet - they

You can always download your lists and inventory and use Brickstore, I guess.

| Hey all,
I've been wondering for some time now: I have a bunch of old railroad ties
that came with the blue tracks back in the old days, these things:
And they all look so incredibly ratty - discolored, corroded, edges rounded as
if they had been stonewashed; they always look like that, and they always look
a lot worse than old 3034s in other colors, and also worse than other white parts
from the same time. Was there something special about those, were they made from
softer plastic, or what is going on here?

I can't imagine it having to do with the country the sellers are in. There
are shops of all sizes, some have only a few items, some have millions; some
are collectors and sell a few things on the side, others do it professionally,
full time. It may look like the sellers abroad have more stock, since many of
the smaller ones won't ship overseas.
Just my 2 cents about possible reasons, I don't really have an idea of course!

I recently put together the 6991 Monorail transport base after purchasing it

I followed the Bricklink inventory to gather all the parts, but I noticed when
building, there were some extra pieces that I did not use.
I'm wondering if anyone else has this set and can confirm the inventory accuracy.
The Bricklink inventory says that the set includes 3x 3069bpb0017, but I only
used two and saw for the alternate track diagrams the use of two on the track
switches, not three.
[P=3069bpb0017,11]
4x 4275b, but only two were used
And finally two 4504, but this part were not used in any of the building steps.
Did I miss something putting it together? The older instructions don't typically
have parts required per step laid out, so it's possible.
Maybe there were alternate versions of the set, I'm not sure as I did not
acquire this new or with a box, just the instructions.
Many thanks!

Greys is a difficult question, and mostly you can't answer it via pictures
- a few basic principles:
Light gray and dark gray are the oldest shades. They were replaced in the early
2000s by light bluish gray and dark bluish gray. Especially the light varieties
are only safely distinguishable in natural sunlight, but once you've seen
the difference, you'll know it (and why one is called "bluish", the other
isn't). This is made more difficult by the fact that old pieces tend to fade
and slightly change colour, but except in really bad cases, they should still
be recognizable.
The "pearl" usually points to marbled colors, i.e. lighter/darker patches in
the same piece (very crude description...). That can be rather subtle, so it's
not always easy to distinguish them from "flat" varieties.
As you'll see in the colour guide that others have mentioned already: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp
, most shades are rather rare, compared to LG/DG and LBG/DBG. If you have a few
pieces where you know what set they came from, look up the set here, and it will
tell you what color it's supposed to be.
That said, the bricklink catalogue is not infallible. There was a major overhaul
of grey pieces in inventories recently, especially in the Bionicle line if I
remember correctly. These monsters are annoying in so many ways!
My 2 cents, I'm just a beginner myself though, when in doubt, believe the
others!

I’m not gunna lie I read it as a photo of himself next to the product next to
a light and was super confused
It’s more so to protect other people as if people reuse photos that aren’t professionally
done like stock photos they can be used to make a counterfeit listing elsewhere
to try and scam unsuspecting buyers as a photo that looks like it was taken in
someone’s bedroom that’s listed for a good price would be more believable then
a stock photo for a set listed at a good price but if the photo has a watermark
then the person would probably put 2 and 2 toghether and realize the person dosnt
actually have the product

I thought it's easy to find pics of any and all Lego sets in the net anyway,
but I see your point that it's more believable than stock photos, I hadn't

I usually describe the damage in a few words, such as "scratches on back of torso",

send them pics anyway before shipping the item, to make sure they know what they

That sounds very weird - if "China" refers to the country of production, then
it's not Lego. "Pat. pend." is what the writing on Lego pieces used to say
in the 70s, they long stopped using that. So it would never appear on any piece

with manual checkout I have to manually finish the the order and send the invoice,

working so far.)
On the invoice it does have all the fees that should be there in the instant

Then the customer sent a request to cancel, which I accepted. And now the cancelled
order shows instant checkout was selected - which it wasn't, I have the order

What is going on here?

What is the difference between those two? If it's just the shape of the "e",
could we rename pt1 to ..."Rounded 'e' Pattern", or just call it a variant
and merge them? It took me some time to notice that difference.
Also, maybe add this one as similar?
Cheers,
Patrick
