| Hello everyone!
Hope you're all doing well! Little to do tonight so I thought I'd hop
on here and see if I can't kill a few hours.
I'm curious – do any of you have any fun, weird, or otherwise interesting
stories from your time here on BrickLink? Whatever it is, I'd love to hear
about it!
Looking forward to hearing from you.

| 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?

| ***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!

Author: | Seajay21 | Posted: | Mar 31, 2024 20:36 | Subject: | Any Advice on Repositioning Stickers? | Viewed: | 84 times | Topic: | General | |
|
| Hello All,
I'm relatively new to Bricklink, so my apologies if this is in the wrong
section of the forum. (If so, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me
to the correct section.)
I recently acquired a 7637 Farm that's mostly complete. Unfortunately, while
there are very few stickers in the set, it seems that most of them are either
misaligned so they overlap two bricks, or placed on the wrong brick.
The most serious cases are two of the cylinder quarters, which have the ends
of their stickers hanging off the edge of the brick by almost a full stud. The
adhesive backing seems to have attracted dust and lint. Fortunately, these are
the only stickers that have lost any stickiness.
The support crane stands have their stickers swapped - so the arrows are pointing
the wrong way. But luckily, these appear to be perfectly intact.
Is there any method that I can use to safely remove/clean/re-stick stickers?
Also, is it necessary or worthwhile to put some sort of sealer (Mod Podge, etc.)
over the top of stickers?

| Was thinking more about the doomed sets in the unreleased catagory, and went
for a second look.
I clicked on a item and noticed that the banner on the top said, "This Item
was Likely Not Released".
Key word for me "LIKELY".
How are we supposed to know for sure if a item was not released if no one can
put one up for sale?!?
So my request is that you allow sellers to sell the item, but only in the conditions
of sealed or new.

| If you are using a modern smartphone to satisfy picture requests, it is very
likely that the pictures contain location data as to precisely where you were
located when you took the picture. Unless you turn that off, or strip the EXIF
data, you are telling the recipient where you store your inventory.
Something to keep in mind.

| Hello!
Two questions on how to download inventory from BrickLink:
a) For a full download of all parts in the BrickLink catalog, I would like to
include the size dimensions (cm). There is a checkbox option to "Include
Dimensions", but this downloads the information in stud size, not in cm.
Is there an option to include the cm size dimensions with my download?
b) For a download of my own store inventory, I see that it pulls in the Remarks
column. However, it does not include the Comments field. Is there an option to
include the Comments field as a column with my download?

Author: | GorillaBrick | Posted: | Mar 14, 2024 12:18 | Subject: | NC Gorilla Store for Sale (Maybe) | Viewed: | 88 times | Topic: | General | |
|
| Hey Y'all -
I'm considering hanging up the bricks. This old Gorilla is getting tired
and losing a bit of motivation. Hiring sorting monkeys is possible, but not
really a good option for my store size. I have a small store here in coastal
NC about 30 minutes north of Myrtle Beach, SC. At this point, I have NOT liquidated
anything, so my full inventory is available and hasn't been cherrypicked.
I have approximately 111k parts in roughly 10k lots with a BL 6 Mos avg of
around $9.5K. I would like to nab a 40% sale price. Also available at a bargain
would be about 30 TuffStore cabinets with hundreds of drawer dividers, at least
a 100 lbs give or take of unsorted lego, and maybe another 150 pieces or so of
unlisted minifigs. Inventory quality is a mix of new and used with the used
being very good and the drawers very accurate, as is confirmed by my 100% feedback
score after 2 1/2 years of selling and 1600+ orders.
I'm not opposed to shipping, but it would be expensive for you. I would
much prefer for you to come on down to my neck of the jungle and bring a big
van, or a small trailer. I can shrink wrap the cabinets with inventory inside,
but because I am keeping about 20 or so cabinets, some of the inventory would
need to be bagged. Pictures and/or a Brickstore file is available on request.
Shoot me your thoughts, questions, or comments.

My collection of sets on display has expanded quite a bit recently. In the last

It's becoming a bit of a chore to keep them clean and dust free of dust.
More sets are in the planning stage for later on down the road.
Anyone have any experience cleaning lego with something like a make-up brush?

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?!

|
| 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!

Why is it that 21344 is created with the wrong sticker sheets and the 2 blocks

I agree that Lego makes changes to some sets, but a set where misprints are corrected

| 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.

| 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 ...

| [p=3069bpx7]
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
