I don't know why that happened, but the screen of Studio became like this,
and I can't select or install the parts. Is this a glitch? How can I get
back to normal operation? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it didn't
work.

To whom it may concern,

I wanted to check in and see if anyone was interested in a story about the ugly
side of LUGs and Lego communities that are RLUGs and receive perks from Lego.

I was a member of a Texas LUG until in 2022 I was physically attacked at their
convention by someone thinking I was in a place where I wasn't supposed to
be but was asked by another member to volunteer to retrieve something for them
as they had to stay at the location they were at. I was upset by the hostile
interaction, and I reported it as well as told my wife about the incident, but
I was blown off and my complaint dismissed.

I tried to get along with my abuser for a year after that but the abuse and the
abuser acting like nothing happened bothered me more and more. Then in 2023 I
reported the incident again to the group Ambassador who blew me off and told
me they didn't want to deal with it and I needed to confront my attacker.
I explained to them my past experiences and that I would be too intimidated to
do that, and nothing was done. To explain, I'm Neurodivergent and a victim
of extreme childhood abuse which is why I've collected Lego since 1975 to
help me get past the abuse with creativity.

With nothing being done, I then went to another member of the group who had a
lead role in the group and reported everything to them. They dismissed my complaint
by telling me they'd investigate it and get back with me but never did. At
this point, my attacker has gained more power in the group by giving a meeting
space to the group and inserting themselves into the leadership of the group.
With nothing being done behind the scenes in secret, I made the incident public
for everyone to see. With the leadership of the group now upset about it going
public, they attacked me in posts and verbally in an attempt to protect my abuser.
After they made me feel very unwelcomed, I tried going to other local clubs only
to find out that I had been blacklisted for filing a complaint about how the
group handled my incident.

As a whistleblower, I was abused further and called every ugly thing in the book
including being called crazy and needing to be on meds which is the classic American
abuser thing to say about their victim. Things got ugly and in one of the other
groups, a contestant from Lego Masters prejudged the situation and listened to
the negative blacklisting and began to play mind games by blocking me in group
chats and then unblocking me when I complained only to wait a little while and
then reblock me. All I ever did in the group is respond to requests for parts
and showed what MOCs I was working on. They even went so far as to try and instigate
a confrontation in a thread where I was fulfilling a parts request.

I know part of this is these people are abusers. But another part of this is
the greed with the people in these LUGs. Because Lego gives only so much loot
to RLUGs, these RLUGs hoard what they can get out of Lego and even go so far
as to abuse the Lego LUGBulk program as well as Project Support programs. They
fiercely defend their territories, and they attack anyone who would or could
disrupt their access to the Lego loot. I think blowing the whistle on the group's
activities to forcefully and abusively exclude someone because they were not
as influential as their abuser/attacker.

I am just trying to get the information about the ugly side of Lego collecting
can be out there so that people can be more informed and cautious about some
of the LUGs out there who are not as nice and clean as Lego would want.

Why is it that when a part hits the floor it disappears? It is amazing how many
pieces I have lost when a part hits the floor. Is there any science behind this?
Could I be the only one?

Taking in to consideration the recent thread about accidentally inflating prices,
I spent some time looking at the most desirable parts from a set I'm preparing
to part out 5x of. Half the set was adjusted up, half the set was adjusted down
from the 6 month average.

Then I decided I wanted to give one of them to someone as a gift. So is there
a hack in Brickstore to adjust the quantities down by 20%, or should I just upload
5 and then upload another one at -1?

It's not the end of the world if it's too much of a PITA.

Hi all

Received an order the other day, and within 10 minutes the customer cancelled.
Fair enough, no problem - I cancelled the order.

Today had a message from the "Buyer" to say I had sent them a wrong part
- black instead of dark Bluish Grey.

Good try - but no cigar

Have to be alert in this game !!

I should have read the comments/feedback before buying from this one seller.
He left me a negative feedback after I left him a neutral one. Most of the comments
about him concerned his high price of shipping . My feedback to him was about
stuffing over 100 in two snack sized baggies. I tried talking to him but he is
very belligerent. Why does Bricklink still allow him to have a store

Bricklink's Studio parts update for the new 2024 pieces came with some bugs.
The new parts added for the April 2024 update don't snap together properly
(or at all) with the current parts in the program.

Bricklink implemented a suggestion!!!

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=816619

on item listing pages you can now report the item for sale! when you click on
it, it brings you to the report item for sale page with the lot number already
filled out.

Now the question is. has this already been a feature for a long time and I never
noticed it or is it indeed a new feature?

Two fortresses stand next to each other raging wars. The ketchup gang stands

ENFIELD, Conn. - April 1, 2024 - Announcing BrickLink Dating™

After the failure of its Trionicles line, the Lego Group (TLG) decided to throw
its hat into the ring of online dating. "And where better than BrickLink,
our site for new and used Lego™ parts?" asked Susan Williams, head of TLG's
Consumer Services division since 1978. "Prospective dating partners will
have the opportunity to list themselves as 'New' or 'Used'",
corresponding to BrickLink's most general category. Ms. Williams did add,
however, that some of the best-known features of BrickLink will be missing from
BrickLink Dating™. "We have no plans at the moment to implement any sort
of color scheme."

what is your favorite bootleg toy, action figure, movie, or video game? post
pics! My personal favorite would have to be the Speclatron toy line from 1984.
These most definitely qualify as best-worst . these were made as a bootleg
to Mattel's Masters of the Universe toy line from 1982. they featured gaudy
color schemes, translucent torsos with water and glitter in them, and by pressing
a small button in the back, the water and glitter would swish around, and cause
"Magic action"

LOL these are probably the worst! the main villain was named Dethlor, and was
the leader of the evil space aliens, and the hero's name was simply Hero,
obviously a knock off of He-Man. the reason why Dethlor is significant however,
he sometimes uses 1984 Man-E-Face's blaster accessory from the Masters of
The universe line. in a silver or blue color. the figures are extremely rare
and are worth a fortune believe it or not!

Post your favorites below!

We have enough international members in here, maybe you all can help…

Long story short, I can’t open a bank account in Germany until I have an address
which is a few years off. Ideally it’s with Commerzbank since most of my transfers
are to a corporation that banks there too and I like to keep things simple.
I send about €15,000 over every year and it seems like every time I go to do
it the conversion rate drops.

Like around November the conversion was at .96 and then it dropped to .92 by
the time I did the transfer. Somebody suggested I use Wise. But can I purchase
euro and keep them in an account or can you only transfers? I’d prefer to buy
and hold when rates are favorable.

I recently started using Bricksync and it works well however the "blmaster
on/off" option confuses me a little. it says you're supposed to never
change your inventory and stuff unless that mode is on and when you are done
you then turn it off however nothing seems to "break" if I change/add
things without turning it on and then later turn it on and off to cycle it to
process any changes I made. So my question is, am I missing something important?
I dont make it a habit to add stuff unless it's on but want to know if I'm
misunderstanding and it doesn't make a big difference if you add stuff without
turning it on or what.

Hello. I got what I think might be a suspicious email last night at precisely
midnight UK time ( 8pm Bricklink time ).

I didn't open it because I thought it might be a hack attempt, but it was
from Bricklink Team and the title was Attention sellers.

I'm wondering if anyone else received a similar email?

Hi,

I've converted a submodel (5 steps) into a callout on the page editor. The
callout is too large and does not fit on the page. How do I reduce the size of
the callout?

Thanks for the help!

Is there a Lego program that has physics included to test mechanisms? I know
you can kind of test simple movement and collisions but I am wanting to test
a full mechanism that uses gravity for part of it. This would be good for GBCs.

I was just checking to see what's the average price, and there's a number
of sellers who has 50+ of this set somehow. The set was gift with purchase from
LEGO. Either someone placed multiple orders with LEGO to get 50+ sets or they
got it from another means.

Any idea how would someone get 50+ of 40712 sets legally?

Did you know...

Washington state is the top U.S. producer of apples, pears, and sweet cherries?
Especially the crops in and around our volcanoes, the Rainier and St. Helens
regions with that special volcanic soil. Washington produces more than 90% of
the nation's organic apple crop.

Seems every few homes have their trees blossoming just now. Makes for a wonderful
drive to the shore

And it's days like these that I miss having to pick up my daughter on campus.
I'd arrive early just to wait under the canopy of their famous Japanese imported
cherry trees.

All Tires in Bricklink have the same problem now:

1) When mated to a Wheel, the tire always ends up on a corner of the "contact
patch" (the greenish box showing the size of the tire, rather than staying
on a side.

2) Any attempt to rotate the tire to a side results in all three rotation arrows
activating, and cause the entire model to rotate, regardless of which arrow is
used.

3) It is impossible to screenshot any of this, as any attempt to screenshot results
in the arrows being switched off.

This needs to be fixed yesterday.

Hello. Can all the new parts that are part of set 76922-1 be added to studio
2.0? All of the new or stickered parts will not load on import of the set on
studio. I'm hoping this is not a time comsuming issue as i can go no further
with my builds without those parts being added. Thank you in advance.

Is there any way you can move a piece (using a key or button or something) vertically
up or down in a model without having to drag and drop the piece out and up? I
am working on a large build and just had to replace some 6x8 plates with 6x10
so it threw my whole model off a little bit and am trying to fix it in the most
efficient way possible.

Did the Julius Caesar thread get locked for being political? I thought people
would be over that after almost two millennia!

What does that say about our nature?

Today on the anniversary of Julius Caesar's death, Ides of March. Consider
as they say, human nature being immutable or unchanging over time What then
can be gleaned on this day, 15th of March?

When I import a .ldr file into BrickLink, all of the bricks are placed perfectly
sound, except for printed bricks. Even when the .dat item ID matches, in this
case (3069p02.dat), it still doesn't convert the file type to the actual
brick. Even if the brick exists in Bricklink, such as the 3069p02 piece, it won't
budge unless I manually change it. However, I also noticed that occasionally,
but not with this example, bricks such as 3068pb0191 will appear ONLY IF I change
the .dat file name from "3068pb0191" to "3068bpb0191". However,
I would like all of the bricks to be recognized in the Studio software. Any ideas?
And no, manual brick switches are not an option here.

Hello I am trying to export COLLADA files from Studio 2.0, to import them on
3dsmax and I have this issue.
Some of the bricks are not on the correct position, they seem to have lots of
gaps.
I have been dealing with this problem since the past year, and I hoped it will
be fixed by now, but unfortunately, it remain unsolved.

Could you please advise on this matter?

Trying to make a random fig in studio, but any accessories or heads that go on
the torso won't go on without a fight.

I got the neck accessory on after about a halfhour of fighting, but now the head
won't go on.

I position it so it looks like it's on but as soon as I unselect it grays
out.

Just downloaded studio yesterday, and tried it out.
First model turned out good, was very surprised at how easy it was to use.

Hey fellow LEGO enthusiasts!

Theres link below to my Bionicle quiz. (made with google Forum). I centered it
around our beloved Bionicle universe! As part of my research Im doing for my
uni, I designed a super fun and challenging Bionicle quiz, and I thought I'd
share it with you all because who doesn't love a good quiz, especially when
it's about Bionicle, right?

You don't need to be a bionicle fan to do this! : D

I know that there is a dedicated Stud.io forum but it's just a quick question
to figure out whether I'm sane or not. Is it just me, or were there a
lot of Minifigure legs removed from the selection of pieces on Stud.io? I was
sure there used to be more but I could be wrong. One particular piece I was fairly
certain was there that no longer is is:
 
Part No: 970cf00pb03  Name: Hips and Animal Legs with Black Fur Pattern
* 
970cf00pb03 Hips and Animal Legs with Black Fur Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Modified, Decorated {Sand Blue}
Has anyone else noticed this or am I just insane?

This is a hollow stud for the head, in case it is still relevant for the catalog.
