10 years. Now, I noticed that some LBG parts have changed to Old Light Gray.
Has anyone else seen such metamorphosis ?

| 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.

| The recent post by Saitobricks.ca about the Bricklink branded duster has me wondering
if an ordinary make-up brush would work as a viable cleaning tool for my collection
of sets on display.
My collection of sets on display has expanded quite a bit recently. In the last
year alone, it has gone from only three sets to seven sets at the current time.
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?

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
should not be seen as 2 different versions?

| 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.

had 3 x red 3001 and 6 x blue 3001 this would only count as a total as 1 (being
a 3001)

| 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

| I hope the admins are taking note only there are people here like myself that
have always followed the rules despite wanting and being denied a second account
for legitimate reasons (separate business from personal) and yet there are clearly
members here using second accounts to strengthen the voice of their own opinion
in the forum?
How is it possible that so many replies against the variant merge are from people
with barely any feedback yet they still appear to have the highest/most complex
level of understanding when it comes to variants?
Yes perhaps one or two of these never buy or sell and only use Bricklink as a
database reference in which case are they the best voices to be listening to
anyway given they don’t actually contribute to the core element of the site which
is to buy and sell Lego!
But let’s be honest having an opinion is one thing but using a second account
to voice that same opinion again is unhelpful spamming and so I hope admins will
investigate and merge these accounts!
Ultimately as far as peoples opinions go in general I understand the arguments
on both sides and to a degree sympathies but generally a lot of these arguments
seem to be along the lines that the merge is a bad idea because people will no
longer be able to easily distinguish the correct variant? Yet this appears to
be the exact intention, since Bricklink has already openly stated that they do
not particularly want members of its community (New or Old) being overly bogged
down and concerned with these variants. They essentially want them dismissed/forgotten
about! (Pretty much their own words)
With this in mind it really isn’t in Bricklinks best interest to put in place
any specific solution that only further prevents them breaking away from what
they are trying to break away from? Therefore in the end it can only be for individual
members who care about this stuff to either use the comments field or ask the
question!
The way I see it, this change is probably going to hinder maybe 1% of the community
whilst making things smoother and more efficient for 99% of the community. It’s
a no brainer from Bricklinks perspective!

| Hello,
It's been interesting seeing the various initiatives that LEGO's marketing
team have pursued since taking over the site (MOC shop, BDP program) etc.
The compliance work around taxation is also good to see.
However, I believe the majority of visitors to the site are here for the parts
marketplace, particularly the non-XP experience, and unfortunately it appears
that this has been left with zero allocation of developer time for feature enhancements,
just basic maintenance and bug fixes.
While I don't want to share exact numbers, I will say that by selling on
multiple platforms since before the takeover, we have observed a significant
and increasing decline in Bricklink's marketshare amongst part buyers, as
it's competition has continued to improve upon the core marketplace experience,
while the Bricklink team are distracted.
I'm sure that the marketing team has more ideas up their sleaves, but I hope
that they are also able to recognise the importance of improving upon the core
experience to protect their investment.
Thanks

to the people who built this website's catalog with the haphazard and poorly-handled

Yes, this is the Bluser issue. Yep, I'm speaking about it again . . . probably
because the site has repeatedly shown its contempt and disregard for the catalog
and its contributors (most recently with its poor handling of the variant issue).
So anyway, the anonymizing was so poorly handled that by performing a couple
of basic and simple Google searches I can tell you the full name of this member
and his home address:
https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=bb257520
There are numerous other "anonymized" members on BrickLink for whom information

number, relatives, etc., etc.
Screenshot this post if you want to keep it, because the site will probably delete

| Back in 2006, I bought a pair of sized Medium shirts from an artist named "Tomi"
as part of his PodBrix line. At the time he was known for making these LEGO
mini-sets of Apple products, events or commercials.
Here's a Wired article from 2006 showing off one of his creations:
https://www.wired.com/2005/02/steve-jobs-in-l/
From my observation, several of these mini sets have gone for thousands of dollars,
which is something I never expected. Back in '06, he also released these
t-shirts. They are a picture of Woz on the front in minifig form, and in his
hand was a 6502 processor clipped on by magnets so you could take it off and
wash the shirt.
I still have both of these. One was the shirt I wore. It's in used, but
not abused condition but the 6502 is lost. The other one is still in the original
shipping box, in it's shipping bag and has it's insert from Tomi.
There were only 300 of these made. Even though they are a fan-made item, considering
the value of the LEGO sets, I wonder if these t-shirts have any value? I've
tried to ask around on places like Reddit and no one has an idea of the price,
though people have agreed that at least the new shirt is probably desirable to
someone. People have also pointed me here, so that's why I'm asking
about it. Does anyone know what these are worth and what's the best way
to sell them at the best price? Thank you (and additional links below)!

| Has Bricklink ever considered having a sister site dedicated to vintage parts.
I know Lego is ever evolving and molds, parts, colours can be discontinued at
any time but maybe it’s a place dedicated to getting parts pre a specific era
where there has been substantial changes such as the place to get old brown and
grey colours perhaps? Pre mid 90’s parts or whatever?
It’s probably a dead in the water idea as I appreciate bricklink and most users
here will probably just want a one stop place for all their Lego needs but maybe
instead just a really scaled down vintage site for all those nerdy types that
want their variants along with those relevant parts of the catalog to remain
intact. Obviously people will still have to use the main site to buy the vast
majority of their Lego so really just a place for the hardcore vintage guys
That’s not me by the way, but with so many appearing to be concerned about some
of the upcoming changes and variant merges I’m just throwing ideas around and
causing trouble!

Thanks, Rob

| This store has zero feedback as a seller. They have 1 FB as a buyer.
Yet it has many very desirable sets available at mostly lower costs than average.
The combination of desirable sets is suspect.
They also added a large number of those sets in the past couple of weeks.
Death Star UCS, Mountain Cave, BDP sets....
This is ringing all the alarm bells for me.

| Is it an idea to also add to the sets how many were produced by Lego?
Can we find these quantities somewhere?

| We have had our share of neutral and negative feedbacks - at total of 26 - but
how are some stores still allowed to do business? There is a store in Germany
with around 8850 total feedbacks but out of his 7151 feedbacks for selling he
has 393 negative / neutrals. This past year alone he has 503 positive but 48
negative / neutrals - that is almost 10%!! That means 1 out of every 10 customers
are getting bad service and how many more are getting bad service but are afraid
to leave a negative feedback out of fear of getting retaliatory feedback.
Sometimes when I stumble across a store with a really bad reputation, like the
one above, I am surprised that they are still allowed to keep their selling status.
Just a rant.

| Hello, I am new to the store and have never shipped anything before, so I have
some questions about these practices.
1) Should I be using USPS Ground Advantage for all large sets? are the price
bands for the shared method accurate?
2) what information about shipping should I give to the buyer and where should
I give it?
3) is there anything else I should consider about selling and shipping?
4) I don't have any government ID and where I am it takes months to set up
an appointment and get one, the closest thing I have is a school ID, is there
anyway I can get my store verified?

| Parting out a single 76269 Avengers tower and the color consistency between the
trans light blue parts out of the same box is extremely disappointing.
The fact that it's different between the same part out of the same bag is
even more infuriating. I know for some people it doesn't matter, but I'm
sure glad I didn't buy this set to build for myself, because the difference
would drive me insane.
I haven't pulled it out of the bag yet, but I saw even the two halves of
30294c01 are different.
I have no need for Lego to replace the parts (since I'm not actually building
the set) as I know customer service will do, but do you think there's any
point in contacting them to just raise awareness to maybe bump up the color QC
a bit? Sort of how light bluish gray parts were all over the place for awhile.
Anyway, rant over...

| About 3-4 years ago I picked most of the set out of a load of loose stuff that
I bought. I am missing 2 pieces. Just found this so am only missing 1 !
This bit is not light bluish grey
