Just found this on a minifigure. It’s about the size of a thumbtack, and it’s
perfectly centered. It doesn’t go all the way through. What do you guys think
caused it?

I have 2 canceled orders still showing on my Orders Received page. I've given
full refunds to both but would like to remove them from the page. Other than
marking them Complete, how can I do that?

Did Lego EVER make an axe head without their logo on it? I got these from a
bricklink store, one with Lego logo came from a LOTR set, with less speckling.
The one with more speckles from a bricklink store. Any weapons experts? Please
help i won't be selling fake lego not ever!

There is what looks like a hyphenated number on the one without Lego stamp

Thank you!!

Hello Bricklink community — My son built a huge impressive Lego town in the garage,
but now it needs to go to make way for a gym.

I have a set of four amazing IKEA Lagkapten 78.75" long table tops with Adils
legs. (See: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/lagkapten-tabletop-white-00460836/)
The tables have been custom fit with latches to make it possible to securely
fasten them together into a huge steady 78.75" x 94.5" rectangle. These
tables work great to display Legos, but are also useful for any number of household
hobbies.

Please contact me if you'd like these tables. Absolutely free. You just need
to pick them up by Feb 26-Mar 1. We are located in Marin County, California.
Please DM me if you are interested in taking these.

When I first started selling I bulk ordered plastic deli containers from a wholesale
restaurant store. Great for small stores

I quickly moved to the plastic baggie

Each part has it's own bag, and then within that bag are the separate colors.
Each color has their own bag. Then all similar pieces go into one of those 18
gallon storage tubs. Example: all normal bricks have 1 bin, the modified bricks
have their own.

The problem is, it still takes me forever to go through the bin to find the correct
part bag, to then go through that bag for the color bag.

I can't afford enough drawers to have the drawer system I want.. but do yall
have any suggestions on what I can do now without spending a ton to help with
storage?!

I am jumping the shark a bit on this post but 2024 is going to be an interesting
season.

We are working on the CANADA IN OHIO room.

We purchased a collection years ago and have not had all it up for show yet but
this is the year!

Lots of work has gone into this room and it is going to be epic!

This is the original builder Sara Kehler DeFehr or as she was known as; "The
LEGO Grandma"

All 1970's and of course you all know I love the original LEGO windows and
they are here in massive numbers.

Ok LEGO people. I have posted before when I find something cool as heck.

Well this is a twisted tail of "What the heck is this?" and yes I am
aware of the "it is fake" crowd but I can assure you I have documentation
to backup the "real" claim.

This is a one of a kind LEGO brick and yes it is 14k Gold.

I am not very good in photos and this thing even makes me look good.

Sometimes it is better to be lucky then good looking that is for darn sure.

Have a great weekend.

My brick turned green! So happy! Thanks to everybody who ordered and left feedback,
you're my heroes! And we had a great streak, 2/3 of customers gave me feedback
in the last months, thanks once again!
Now everybody come shop with me, people, let's get to the red one!

Hello BrickLink Community,

I'm in the early stages of developing an analytics app specifically for BrickLink
store owners and am seeking your valuable feedback. The goal of this app is to
provide insightful analytics that can help store owners make informed decisions,
optimize their inventory, and enhance their store's performance.

Here's what I envision the app will offer:

- Detailed sales analytics
- Inventory management insights
- Trend analysis to predict future demand

I would love to hear from you about:

1. What are the biggest challenges you face in managing your BrickLink store?
2. Are there specific analytics or data points you wish you had easy access to?
3. Have you used any analytics tools before, and if so, what did you like
or dislike about them?
4. What features would make an analytics app truly valuable for you?

Your experiences, challenges, and insights are incredibly important to me. They
will guide the development of this app to ensure it meets your needs and addresses
the real pain points of managing a BrickLink store.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback. I'm
here to listen and incorporate your ideas into making something that genuinely
benefits the BrickLink community.

Looking forward to your responses!

I am opening BrickLink on Opera and I have a lot of Wanted Lists. I am not given
a scroll bar when looking at all the wanted lists. Is this a problem with the

Good day,
I'm new to this platform and I failed at identifying the shop, my account
was blocked and now I've been going back and forth with emails for days trying
to fix the problem and it always takes a day until I get an answer It's amazing
to me that it's taking so long.

I appear to have a different version of b14sw08 to the one shown in the catalogue.

[b=b14sw08]

My outer box has figure cutouts not images and may be a different size.

The set consists of a box card with 2 figures and 2 books, books being an alternative
print, smaller in size and thickness, no figure cutouts.

Image one is outer box.

Second image is box card with 2 figures.

Third and fourth are the alternative book versions.

Fifth shows shrink wrap still in place.

Hello everyone, sorry for my ignorance, but I am still fairly new to the Lego
world.
Who can tell me the difference between stone 4070 with and without a lock? and
which one is with a lock and which one without a lock? and does it also have
a function with building?
thanks in advance for your responses

Hi
Why is it that 21344 is created with the wrong sticker sheets and the 2 blocks
with misprints? They do not make sense that the correct ones should be created
as alternate items?
I agree that Lego makes changes to some sets, but a set where misprints are corrected
should not be seen as 2 different versions?

Best regards
Simon

I have a fairly large collection, spanning over 20 years, and stored/sorted in
200+ boxes, including Technic, City, Ninjago, Bionicle, Friends, and many many
more. These include over 300 minifigs, and many unique/rare parts/sets (eg. Scorpion
Pyramid, Village Market, ...). I have little time to sort through and rebuild
all the sets. I'm looking for input as to what is the best way to sell all
at once. My initial investment was over $50k.

1. Any thoughts on how to liquidate everything ASAP?
2. Would selling everything by the pound on eBay be an option? - Not very attractive
I'm sure.

Thoughts are appreciated.

Hello all,

Over the past 9 days, Paypal has asked me three (3) times to verify my account.
I have to upload a drivers license, verify transactions, send in USPS tracking
information. Twice now, I've submitted all of the info and within a few
hours, my account is back to normal.

THis morning, they have asked again and now want a copy of my bank statement,
verify more transactions with USPS tracking information.

What is going on with Paypal? Is anyone else having to deal with this? I only
use Paypal for my bricklink store. I don't transfer money all over the place
and all of my bricklink sales go into Paypal.

THanks,

CLM

Anyone here had any trouble with buyers for this set of 16 new sealed ?

About to add a large number of collectable minifigures, not sure about selling
series 1 due to value.

Not had much trouble so far but thought I’d get your views.

They are identified by barcode and if my memory serves me right they are North
American.

Hello all,

An order was placed with me and I made an error with one of the pieces. I have
emailed the buyer and sent messages to this person through Bricklink. This person
will not respond. What should I do at this point? The order cannot be sent
100% complete and the buyer will not respond and let me know what to do? It
was an honest mistake and I really don't want to get a negative feedback
rating. I've sent 4 messages so far so I am trying to fix the issue. What
does a seller do at this point, when the seller is trying to fix the issue but
is not getting any response from the buyer? Should I just refund the entire
order?

Thanks,

CLM

Hi Bricklinkers,

I had a buyer who purchased 15x 4073 (New) in pearl dark grey (PDG). He sent
me a message today said I had supplied black instead of PDG. I checked my inventory
& I only have PDG in the drawer so I'm confident order was correct. I asked
him to check as difference between black & PDG is subtle. No it is black (offered
to provide photo).

My attitude is no point arguing over a few cents. I source my new parts from
unopened sets or directly from Lego so I can't offer the buyer anything else.
Automatic refund for the item.

I'm interested in other seller's experiences.

Thanks in advance.
Brendan

When will Bricklink update its servers?

It seems like they are incredibly outdated because of daily maintenance that
lasts too long, as well as the designer program orders breaking the website as
well.

I am struggling to do any order processing because of this.

Today, after nearly 2,500 orders, I received my first sequential orders, placed
just 5.5 seconds apart.

The even stranger thing is that they are going to two different places less than
5 miles apart!

I would like to suggest these for the next round of part merges:

 
Part No: 6015  Name: Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide
* 
6015 Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide
Parts: Wheel, Tire & Tread
 
Part No: 87697  Name: Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide, Band Around Center of Tread
* 
87697 Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide, Band Around Center of Tread
Parts: Wheel, Tire & Tread
 
Part No: 60700  Name: Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide, Raised Groove
* 
60700 Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide, Raised Groove
Parts: Wheel, Tire & Tread

They seem like pretty useless distinctions.

I would also like to suggest something the site should have done before even
considering merging anything. The site should have made it quite
clear in writing in the catalog help pages what is an acceptable variant for
this website and what is not.

Otherwise, it's just up to the whim of whomever is deciding, which is no
way to run a business.

Hi all,

Is there a way to see how many different parts are in your stores inventory?

And to be precise...In this instance I count all colours as 1 part, e.g. if you
had 3 x red 3001 and 6 x blue 3001 this would only count as a total as 1 (being
a 3001)

Who decides when a MOC will change from having assembly instructions one day
to
"This design is for Display only.
Features are not accessible." the next day?
In this case I am refering to the Union Pacific DDA40X Locomotive Train...It
had all the Studio Building steps last Thursday and the next day...gone...What
is up with that??? I have been gathering parts to make this great MOC and now
what??? I tried to get in contact with the creator of the locomotive but nothing
...

Hello,

has anyone else noticed a difference in the thickness of recent spongy capes?

I noticed this with a black cape (item 19888) on the Darth Vader minifig SW1249
from last year.

The cape is noticably thinner than the one on other older Darth Vader minifigs.
I can both feel the difference and see the difference (the cape clearly lets
more light through which is a bit annoying).

I haven't noticed any such inconsistency before with these spongy capes so
I was wondering if it's an intentional change by Lego or if I just got an
unusually thin cape.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

As if it was not enough dealing with gray and bluish gray, we also have to contend
with the following:

1. Brown vs. Reddish Brown vs. Dar Red
2. Black vs. Dark Green
3. Color 'variability'

I've had parts sorted under artificial light and they all appear the 'same'.
However, when I look them under the sun, it's a whole spectrum. My group
of brownish 1x2 slopes turned out to be a mix of 5 shades

4. Reddish Brown
5. 'Regular' Brown
6. Slightly clearer Brown
7. Some dark red that is not completely opaque
8. Some dull brown

9. How does one separate all of these colors. I have a daytime job, and do not
get sun 24/7 ?
10. How bad is color variability?
11. Did TLG really need to produce that many colors?
12. I reckon many men have some inherent color blindness ...

I've had a buyer potentially interested in 2 large sets I'm selling.
He asked for pictures. So, I went ahead, checked the inventory once again, took
several pictures, sent to him, unlisted the two items he was interested in (to
give him first dibs). It's been 4 days now and he has not even acknowledged
receipt of the pictures and what his intentions are. Be nice to people they said,
what did I get? I waisted 2 hours and now nothing. Yes, it's part of the
business/hobby, but next time someone asks for pictures well ... we'll see.

I have two of the following part, yet BrickLink does not even list that the color
was ever issued. Is this an issue with BL or am I sitting on a fortune?

What's the general sentiment about texting a buyer/seller after a week of
no communication?

I'm coming up on a week for an invoice that hasn't been paid yet for
a large set. Messages are not read and it's a relatively old user with
very low feedback. (so they should know how the system works, but maybe it's
been a while?) There is a phone number attached to the address so I could call
or text but people get funky about that kind of stuff now-a-days.

Good morning.

We are 10 short of 10,000.

Would really love to celebrate that milestone with the crew this weekend.

If you have an open order with us would you be able to leave a positive feedback
to make this happen?

Thank you very much.

PIZZA PARTY SATURDAY (if we make it or not. Have a large inbound coming which
will really help us in the "assortment of elements" category)

But it would be really fun to have a 'dual party'.

Thank you

In 2021, the name on this part changed from "100 dollar bill" to "100
paper bill"... seems like an odd move to me.

Certainly made it harder to search.

And maybe other regions or countries would refer to it as a "100 paper
bill" or the feeling is that "paper" is more generic bc not every
country's currency is a called a "dollar", but I feel like that could
have been added to the "dollar bill" verbiage.

The part appears to have had the same name from 2001 to 2021, so I think there
should be more consideration put into changing the name on parts with established
names.

Hello. Apologies if this question has been raised before but I couldn't find
it looking back through the forums.

I'd like to invest in certain Lego sets and would really love to buy the
sets in multiples to match the brown LEGO retail outer shipping boxes (for 2
reasons, to try to minimise and potential shipping damage to individual boxes,
and also to keep the sets in the best condition for the future)

Specifically, I'm really wanting to buy a few 42158 Mars Perseverance Rovers
as I really think the potential ROI could be good - the last rover was around
£60 and now regularly achieves over £300. I have a feeling they are shipped to
stores in 3's but it could be in 5's?. Obviously there's no guarantee
I'd receive them in the outer boxes but I'd stand more chance ordering
in the correct numbers.

Does anyone know a way of finding out the number of boxed sets are in each outer
container or better still, know how many of these sets are in each outer?.

Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm writing from Italy, I'm desperately asking for help
I am creating an inventory in which I would like to list all the box formats
of our beloved constructions, for a research aimed at creating an innovative
and very useful product, I ask if anyone already has a list or if they have had
the patience to list them all, I mean the formats and if he is willing to share
the list
thank you so much and happy legoacy to everyone

Due to pressures on their delivery system, not enough mail, they are looking
at becoming a third rate service.

Nothing decided but toying with the idea of only three deliveries per week, seriously
!

Probably proposing three days so that when they reduce it by one day it looks
like a good compromise, mind games as usual.

For those older like myself, remember when we had two deliveries a day ?

Lately I've seen a surge in NEW members (zero feedback), who end up non-paying.
I'd love to help newbies, but when I go through th effort of checking the
inventory, packing the set, and buying shipping, then the would be buyer cancels
.. that is really annoying.

Yes, I could wait for payment before buying the shipping label, but all of that
takes time.

Should we just ignore all new buyers with zero feedback?

I'd hate to tarnish their reputation and give a negative feedback, but at
the same time, I expect some 'courtesy/commitment' in return.

It might be a good idea to have an admin only thread for responses about the
upcoming catalogue changes. That way, it won't get clogged up with loads
of people reproducing the entire first post and writing PLEASE DON’T or SOUNDS
GOOD at the bottom, making it easier to find the more important clarification,
explanation and update posts from Russell and/or other admins on the matter.

I know a new thread has recently appeared but it appears to be open to replies
and so expecting nobody to reply to it is a long shot.
