  Is this considered a misprint LEGO? Does it have any value?

Thank you.

might I ask what is the misprint on it? it just looks like a normal mold mark
to me

Normally part of the e and g are partly there

interesting as I've seen many where the middle few simply aren't present

I’ll look through my 1x2 bin tonight to see if I can find any without the EG

I only have 14 all in some transparent color no solid colors.

Bonjour

Hello...

Set 118-2 does NOT exist...that is a Samsonite set 111. I have often thought
of letting BL know this (there are more things wrong with some other Samsonite/North
American listings) but I have yet to do this.

Set 118-3 DOES exist but would have come in a brown box from Sears. I do not
have the box but I DO have the original instructions with my set.

FWIW...

  ***Communications in French***

I think I'm just banging my head against a wall.

I have regular communication with a nice buyer and collector. He wrote me:

Bonjour [name]. Avez vous deja vu les boites 118-2 et 118-3 ??? Merci [his
name]

I answered:

...
Set 118-3: c'est un set vendu par Sears. Je crois qu'il n'a pas de
boite. Par example, il est possibelemtn etre vendu comme ce set:

https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533

Set 118-2: j'ai aucune idee comment il ont trouve 118-2. Je le vois dans
aucun catalog. Ca peut etre une faute. La photo de sa boite sur bricklink est
exactement celle de set 111.

Bien a vous


His response:

Bonjour [name]. Avez vous deja vu une boite occasion du 118-2 et 118-3 ??
Car moi jamais. Connaissez vous quelqu’un qui en a une ??


My response:

Set 118-3: c'est un set vendu par Sears. Je crois qu'il n'a pas
de boite. Par example, il est possibelemtn etre vendu comme ce set:

https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533

Set 118-2: j'ai aucune idee comment il ont trouve 118-2. Je le vois dans
aucun catalog. Ca peut etre une faute. La photo de sa boite sur bricklink est
exactement celle de set 111."

Donc, comme le set 118-2 n'exist pas, personne ne l'a vu ne plus.
Le set 118-3 exist main il n'a pas de boite. Il etait juste emballe dans
un carton ou quelque chose pareil comme quelque chose que vous pouvez voire dans
le lien:
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/kraft-lego-mini-wheel-set-dump-soda-1824610533
Donc, comme la boite de set 118-3 n'exist pas, personne ne 'a vu, personne
ne l'a et il n'y a pas de photo de la boite ne plus car on peut pas prendre
une photo de quelque chose qui n'a jamais existe 🙂


At this point, I am convinced either I did't explaing things properly or
I'm just banging my head against a wall.

Now, those who know French, please tell me if you were initially looking for
boxes of these two sets, what would you have understood from my responses and
if you would continue looking to find the boxes? What would you have answered
me after my two responses.

Once, a few of you French guys kindly reply to this, I write what his third message
was!

  I have seen quite the spike in "we did not get our package" things.

One guy refused due to VAT
Another said he did not get his package when the track clearly says it was delivered.

No clue.

We have had around 10 of these in the past 3 months.

Maybe it is time to just go domestic?

Your thoughts?

Thank you. Decision has been made. Will revisit in the fall. Have a great
summer.

Due to issues beyond our control we will no longer be able to ship overseas.

Thank you.

  Are any other US Stores having shipping issues to international addresses lately?

We have had 3 lost in the last 60 days. No trace after it reaches country arrival.
All 3, the tracking info stops at that point.

Yes, and USPS just shrugs and basically says it sucks to be you. No assistance
with anything, and though they state a service time of like fourteen days to
deliver, International packages cannot be considered lost until 60 days. Pay
more, get less, postal service is slipping fast into the toilet. Oh, DeJoy!

To where problems arrised, mainly?

How do you ship? Tracked? Insured? Bad shipper change shipper?

Do you prefer to lose 100% (not exporting) or lose part of it? Did you calculate
this?

Two right now (today). UK and Belgium.

Tracked, arrived but either refused or just lying. Cannot tell yet but I have
two angry contacts. One is saying "they are not stupid and they will not
pay VAT" the other I have no idea. He may have got it, may have not. He
is all over the place. Either way I am looking to cut off overseas for awhile
to see if that stops this. We are taking hit after hit after hit on the overseas.

For orders with VAT, are you including the digital IOSS number when you purchase
your label?

I understood your messages no problem. Curious what the reply was (and if they're
a seasoned collector or someone newer, as perhaps it explains the misunderstanding)


Great you understood. So to confirm, having read my responses, would you look
for these two boxes?

I would have thanked you for the information, and if I had any other details
that led me to believe there were some mysterious boxes for them I'd send
them your way.
