I have a couple of sets from ~15 years. They've been in storage for the past
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.

Gorilla

The app figureitout.app/blfigure used to help id minifigures seems to have been
changed or eliminated. Is there a new site or address for something similar?
It sure was pretty helpful.
Thanks for any info.

I have a new with broken seals 6276. I am trying to find out the bag count in
this set so I can confirm completeness. I feel like everything is there but want
to be sure. It does have (4) pieces that arent bagged and I know those are correct.
I have gone as far as asking Lego and they couldnt find it in their databases.
any help is greatly appreciated

Just came across this on another website...

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=snowkit01&name=Snow%20Character%20Building%20Kit&category=%5BDecoration%5D#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}

Did not know Target carried it a few years ago. Would be cool to have one of
the parts.

If I order from DD bricks Thailand, what kind of extra taxes can I expect when
it gets to Canada? How long will it take?
This is my first time doing this, and I appreciate your help.

Hi

This below may be a duplicate warning.

We got an e-mail that ' someone logged in to my account', 'contact
support' and then "Log device out of your account'.

Sender: support@brickslink.org

So is this the way accounts are hacked? If so, Bricklink should place a warning
to prevent this!

Regards

Erik

Since it will be over a year until my next feedback brick and I just passed some
other "milestone" numbers, I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone
who's purchased from me over the past 5 years.

3,000 orders
100 favorited
100,000 store visits

Thanks all!

(more classic space parts on the way next)

On some of my Wanted List it is written "Not Applicable" beside some

What does it mean??

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?

ideas on how to non-permanently attach Lego plates to raw wood.

Hello Everyone!

I was going through some old bricks that I have and noticed something very interesting...

On the 1 x 6 bricks without Bottom Tubes, with cross supports. Item # crssprt02

The studs have the old style script along with the modern style.

Anyone else see this? I only have 5 of them and the are all that way, so I'm
assuming that's how they all are.

Going through a bin that had been buried at the back of the closet. Found a note
inside:
Oops! Just realized you said not to take any trains apart. Here are the pieces
I hadn't gotten to yet.


And this ladies and gentlemen, is the reason she's the EX business partner.

Prices for letters up again in April.

Justification : costs and less mail.

My guess is that part of the reason for less mail is, you guessed it, the fact
that the price keeps going up.

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?

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!!
