I'm a little angry at my insurance company for dropping me, but... better
to find this out now than after a catastrophic event happens. I'll just
have to find homeowners insurance that is ok with me having a small business
in the house with commercial insurance I guess.

  My sister sells insurance and I asked this question.

She recommended a separate policy for the business and her company policies wouldn't
provide enough coverage for a small business. There is a limited amount of coverage
for personal assets through homeowners, however it would be combined with all
your home's belongings. In the event of a total loss she didn't think
I would be adequately covered.

  tldr: need insurance company in Ontario, Canada that will cover home insurance
and business-in-home insurance.


I started my Bricklink business around 1.5-2 years ago, and am in the process
of starting up a small computer business as well. Between the two businesses
the assets are material enough that I would like to have them covered by insurance.
I called up my insurance company (TD) to see if I could get coverage added to
home policy for business assets.

After waiting for a few days they called me back and told me that not only will
they Not cover it, but they will not be renewing my policy when it expires as
well. I asked for clarification and they stated that the value of my business
assets exceed their risk tolerance values. I than asked what if I purchased separate
commercial property insurance for the business assets and they stated the policy
would still not be renewed.

Soooo, that leaves me looking for a new insurance company. I've started calling
around to a couple different insurance brokers in town, but I was wondering if
anybody here might have some suggestions.

  I had a rare Lego which was ordered on April 12. I didn't happen to check
my inventory or website so I don't know if it remained or was deleted. On
April 27th I received another order for the same part. I've only been doing
this for 2 months, does anyone know how this happened?

Possibly a duplicate listing.

If you open the original order (for the piece you sold) and hover over the image
of the item, you can see the Lot ID (see attached image).

Compare this Lot ID with the second order. If the Lot ID's are different
then you had a duplicate listing.

Thank you so much, that's what I did

If anyone has any of the new 187th clone troopers, I have a 332nd trooper from

them. Thanks!

At first I thought you were talking about this kind of clone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_clone

You probably need to wait for it to change. This can take ages or can be very
quick.

Yes, under “Store Settings” then “management”, at the very bottom it shows your
store’s address which you need to change separately.

His feedback indicates this is an ongoing problem. I'm still guessing that
mine will eventually ship. I order 12 days ago, but I have plenty else to do.

People will laugh at the conversation I am having with myself here!

I am not confident that I didn't take pictures when I opened this set. But
I would stand against taking the assembled bike out of the inventory. I feel
pretty sure that I got it in mine.

  I will do a deeper check for opening pics soon, but I have had and sold too many
red bikes to be certain in the last year. But my preponderance of assembled bicycles

I was expecting assembled, I very very likely would have made a change request.

I don’t remember if I was asked or recorded a date stamp from mine here. I may
still have the box. But something I already see that may help with the discussion
is that I added a variant minifig with a curved cap. That would indicate that
mine was manufactured at least as late as 2009. Long production run.

They were not assembled.

Assembled parts only come in inventories as regular items, when they also came
assembled in the box. Otherwise the assembled bicycles should be listed as counterparts.

But they have, just not this last time I parted out the sets. 9348-1 bicycles
have never been assembled as far as I can tell. I think Axaday also parted out
this set and had an assembled bicycle, but that is speculation.

  
This means the assembled bicycles already in the inventory should be changed
to counterpart.
The new assembled bicycles should be added as counterpart.
No Match-id's for counterparts.

The bicycle frames should be added as regular

The 2-piece wheels as regular
The 1-piece wheels as alternate
Both with the same Match-ID (first free one)

Do you want to try again?

Diana

If they have come both ways, which way takes precedence? I agree it would probably
make the most sense to switch them to counter part and have a match id on the
wheels only to be more in line with the rest of the sets.

Brickwest Studios was initially priced at $279.99 for round 2. Then it got postponed
to round 3 due to the Alec Ballwin movie incident. it's now listed at $499.99
CDN. That's almost double the initial price from a few months ago. Doesn't
even come with mini figures.

I believe all 48495s should be moved to Reddish Gold. As it stands, a buyer-seller
issue exists because Reddish Gold swords exist under ‘Reddish Gold’ and ‘Copper’.
A buyer would be incredibly confused to learn that both swords they purchased
were the exact same color, leading to potential bad reviews that are of no fault
of the seller. There’s enough evidence to suggest that this part does not exist
in Copper.

I have one of the copper sets on the way. I doubt I will be able to open the
castle, but it is possible I will be able to get the chess set.

The castle's runtime was within Reddish Gold's, as in before Pearl Gold
was around. The set absolutely has Reddish Gold swords, but we need photo evidence.
I will try to look for some. The chess set should also contain Reddish Gold swords.
I am still unsure about 8813 and 8823.

That being said, the Gear section needs some work. I mean: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3010&colorID=44&in=A
A 1x4 brick in Light Violet appearing in a 2016 gear?

The alternate section is what bugs me about that set. Alternate undetermined
part? If the sword you find is Pearl Gold, I suggest removing the Copper sword
from the set. It’s highly unlikely that 2006 was still using that color, and
the current inventory could have been the result of a mistake or somebody who
bought a second hand set with the wrong sword.

Found it!

I can't take better pics until tomorrow but here's what I got:

I will open tomorrow to confirm, but both the king and the purple knight are
holding a sword that matches this one here in the middle. Copper and Pearl Gold
scimitar included for comparison. There is obviously no Yellow sword in my set.

Metallic gold would be a coating. I have not found any swords in other "copper"-shades
than Reddish Gold. As far as I know, those parts do not exist.


I bought this sword the other day in metallic gold and copper. I discussed with
the seller, in advance, my doubts that the colors existed and pointed him to
my comparison pics and he felt confident that he had them. My doubts have not
disappeared and I'm not going to be demanding any refunds or anything, but
I am hoping that one or the other might teach us something.

I think such confusion is to be expected when
1) the BrickLink catalog conflates colors, and
2) there is variation within the LEGO colors.

He did say his copper sword doesn't look like the 3rd party render, but it
looked like the copper image that was there before the 3rd party render. I have
no experience with the previous image. But he felt confident it wasn't reddish
gold. We'll see in a few days. Metallic Gold would shock me, but I really
hope there is a copper one.

I tried to fix these colors many years ago but was unsuccessful.

I purchased a

  Just wondering what the general consensus is when a buyer makes a purchase in
your store , you pull it, invoice it and then they start asking for extra parts
. (not included in the invoice). I have had this happen several times recently,
some buyer have already paid and sent the message and others have not paid yet
.

Not sure if this is a recent trend or I am just the unlucky seller who gets
these requests. These aren't usually requests for parts which are expensive
and I usually decide on a case by case basis. Just wondering what the rest of
you do about requests like these if you get them.

If the order has not been paid for, just tell them to order the parts they require
in the normal manner, and their existing existing list will be updated automatically.
Then send them an updated invoice.

Weird. That order ID was probably December of 2021. Hopefully a display issue.

I believe all 48495s should be moved to Reddish Gold. As it stands, a buyer-seller
issue exists because Reddish Gold swords exist under ‘Reddish Gold’ and ‘Copper’.
A buyer would be incredibly confused to learn that both swords they purchased
were the exact same color, leading to potential bad reviews that are of no fault
of the seller. There’s enough evidence to suggest that this part does not exist
in Copper.

I have one of the copper sets on the way. I doubt I will be able to open the
castle, but it is possible I will be able to get the chess set.

The castle's runtime was within Reddish Gold's, as in before Pearl Gold
was around. The set absolutely has Reddish Gold swords, but we need photo evidence.
I will try to look for some. The chess set should also contain Reddish Gold swords.
I am still unsure about 8813 and 8823.

That being said, the Gear section needs some work. I mean: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3010&colorID=44&in=A

Not “many,” all of them.  They need to be identified.

Imagine at the factory:

“Which neck part?”
“You know the one for the heads!”
“??”


  I mean broken not disassembled, hence they are not listed as seperate parts here.

I am on my phone in the car headed home from Wichita. I should have pics from
opening this set last summer. I may have the bikes still also. I opened a bunch
of similar sets last summer and did not assemble bikes that didn’t Come that
way. I would like to think I would have made a request, but it is worth looking
at my records at home.

They were not assembled.

Assembled parts only come in inventories as regular items, when they also came
assembled in the box. Otherwise the assembled bicycles should be listed as counterparts.

But they have, just not this last time I parted out the sets. 9348-1 bicycles
have never been assembled as far as I can tell. I think Axaday also parted out
this set and had an assembled bicycle, but that is speculation.

  
This means the assembled bicycles already in the inventory should be changed
to counterpart.
The new assembled bicycles should be added as counterpart.
No Match-id's for counterparts.

The bicycle frames should be added as regular

The 2-piece wheels as regular
The 1-piece wheels as alternate
Both with the same Match-ID (first free one)

Do you want to try again?

Diana

If they have come both ways, which way takes precedence? I agree it would probably
make the most sense to switch them to counter part and have a match id on the
wheels only to be more in line with the rest of the sets.

Could be. My question would be, if it's part of this assembly, WHY does it

  I like the idea- do you do this for orders of low values - like less than 1$

In that case I would probably just include the extra parts for free, if the buyer
spent a good amount on the first order.

Yes, I decide on a case by case basis -and it all depends on what the buyer is
looking for; value of the parts. I just need a more consistent way to handle
these requests . I'm not going to deal with Paypal fees for an extra $0.25
cents . Thanks for all the ideas .

Actually, when I went to look at all my lists (and scanned several of them item

Oh, great.  It seems new (or no one noticed it before ).  It’ll be useful.

I don’t think there’s a simple way

Whatever sort order you use, the duplicates should be next to each other… but
you still have to go through all the items.

Actually, when I went to look at all my lists (and scanned several of them item
by item), I eventually noticed that one list had a comment under it saying "Contains
duplicate item/color combinations". Easy to fix after finding that out!

Oh, and please!! If you don't know what it is, please don't reply like

I am inclined to believe that it is an internal component of one of the Star

Which one? I have no idea.

Looks like you spot on here.
Look at the bottom of this head its a match. (It may be from any of the black
heads.)

That exact number was not on any of the boxes.

There was an interesting find through, 3 of the 10 did not have this 118789 number
underneath the barcode. Not sure what that gets us but it is something. The
rest of the numbers on each box matched exactly.

'4291790' is the set's ID. The 4563665 on the box flap suggests that
these are all the 2011 edition of this '2006' set. That is, if that 4563665
number means anything. I find it highly unlikely that a number reminiscent of
an item ID would be on a box flap for no reason. These may be from 2011.


That is the item number for the set box.

Why would they be so far apart though? Could it be that later versions had a
box ID added?


Something else on the box changed over the time period. The set still had the
same item number, but something about the box was different. It could have had
a small change to the graphics, different material supplier, different cardboard
weight, etc. Whatever the reason, it was considered significant enough to have
a unique SAP number assigned to it.

  4x4x2 is correct, if you look at it the right way

I was thinking that...
Also if your picture is correct for shape etc, the pictures in the catalogue

Yep.  Some pieces have a “natural”¹ orientation (studs up…) but not all.

For bricks, it’s easy to find a “up”/height, and it’s logical¹ to use brick as
a unit because they are in multiple of plates/bricks.

For Technic Liftarms & Panels, Bionicle, etc., it’s not easy to define a “up,”
and it’s weird¹ to say 1 2/3 bricks when you’ll generally be using 2 modules
(other Technic parts, like pins or beams) in that axis, not plates & bricks.


¹ Yes, I’m flirting with the “call to nature” fallacy but, well, some measures
lends themselves more easily to some units.  (And, yes, that seems inconsistent
with my stance on imperial units but I know what studs & bricks are, while I
rarely have a horse or salted ice at hand )

Wouter and I have confirmed that part 6510 exists in TLG 219 Lilac, which is under BL Medium Violet and this is the only possible source. No evidence exists to suggest that this flower appeared in Dark Purple. Will attach photo of listing.

Still had some images waiting for me to add to the other post. I already was
convinced that the dark purple should be Medium Violet. Still had doubts about
Magenta or Light Purple though. But you convinced me now

Diana

For future reference, I think that the set contains 6510 in Lilac. That colour
is conflated with tWo other colours in Bricklink's Medium Violet.

https://img.bricklink.com/ItemImage/EXTN/48979.png

I was about to suggest that this set should have a note attached to it, as should
other sets with Lilac parts. I believe this color appeared in five sets + a promo
brick,

Good idea.

Have you checked your capes? The 2004 cape should be Lilac. Any earlier 'Violet'
cape is just TLG 110, but they do look VERY similar.

Lilac appears in sets 4663, 4679b-2, 4751, 7496, and 7917. The fourth has a note.

In that case I would probably just include the extra parts for free, if the buyer

Great! All that's left now is to move the Light Green flowers and to add
the Trans-Green flower. That should finish this part for good.

ok, but did they come assembled in the box, or in un-assembled frames and wheels?


They were not assembled.

Assembled parts only come in inventories as regular items, when they also came
assembled in the box. Otherwise the assembled bicycles should be listed as counterparts.

But they have, just not this last time I parted out the sets. 9348-1 bicycles
have never been assembled as far as I can tell. I think Axaday also parted out
this set and had an assembled bicycle, but that is speculation.

  
This means the assembled bicycles already in the inventory should be changed
to counterpart.
The new assembled bicycles should be added as counterpart.
No Match-id's for counterparts.

The bicycle frames should be added as regular

The 2-piece wheels as regular
The 1-piece wheels as alternate
Both with the same Match-ID (first free one)

Do you want to try again?

Diana

If they have come both ways, which way takes precedence? I agree it would probably
make the most sense to switch them to counter part and have a match id on the
wheels only to be more in line with the rest of the sets.

Comments from Submitter:
This blanket does not match any known color and should just be N/A.

It has been established now that this brush does not exist in Medium Orange, and there would have been no reason for LEGO to make a part in a color that had been retired for quite some time. This was more than likely just a mistake on behalf of the person who first inventoried this set.

Agree, ordered this brush many times in the past, always received bright light
orange.

  
The bear is likely also just a mistake. The Bright Light Orange alternates were added later on and were assumed to be alternates. Other Belville sets from 2007 were also edited to remove these Medium Orange bears. No evidence exists to suggest that these ever appeared in sets as late as 2008.

Purple should not have been used to make new parts after 2003. This dress is more of a Dark Purple.

Deleting the alternates and changing the colors of the main inventory parts.

  There have been several occasions when I had to place a second order just after
placing one at a store. Sometimes, the system would create a second 'batch'

a price + shipping marked as 'TBD'.

At some shops however, the system just creates a second order and charges a new
shipping fee outright.

Are the above preferences set by the store owner?

Yes.

Another consideration is instant checkout. If a seller has IC enabled, then BL
will usually create a separate order rather than a second batch. I'm not
sure that ordering in multiple batches is even possible with IC.

IC has nothing to do, it all depends if the order is Paid Onsite or marked as
paid, and if not, then if the seller changed the status to packed.

these are all the 2011 edition of this '2006' set. That is, if that 4563665
number means anything. I find it highly unlikely that a number reminiscent of
an item ID would be on a box flap for no reason. These may be from 2011.

side of this piece in the hopes that someone here knows what it is.

Oh, and please!! If you don't know what it is, please don't reply like
the last time I asked. And yes, before anyone suggests it, I have searched the
color base, again with no luck considering there are thousands of BLACK pieces!!

It reminds me of Hero factory/constraction parts...

At some shops however, the system just creates a second order and charges a new

Are the above preferences set by the store owner?

Yes.

Another consideration is instant checkout. If a seller has IC enabled, then BL
will usually create a separate order rather than a second batch. I'm not
sure that ordering in multiple batches is even possible with IC.

Comments from Submitter:
Wouter and I have confirmed that part 6510 exists in TLG 219 Lilac, which is under BL Medium Violet and this is the only possible source. No evidence exists to suggest that this flower appeared in Dark Purple. Will attach photo of listing.

Still had some images waiting for me to add to the other post. I already was
convinced that the dark purple should be Medium Violet. Still had doubts about
Magenta or Light Purple though. But you convinced me now

I am used to this sort of thing from the USPS, but this is the first from Fedex.
I live about an hour from the LEGO distribution center in Romeoville. My package
is now supposed to arrive on Tuesday after having a little vacation in Utah.

They were not assembled.

Assembled parts only come in inventories as regular items, when they also came
assembled in the box. Otherwise the assembled bicycles should be listed as counterparts.

This means the assembled bicycles already in the inventory should be changed
to counterpart.
The new assembled bicycles should be added as counterpart.
No Match-id's for counterparts.

The bicycle frames should be added as regular

The 2-piece wheels as regular
The 1-piece wheels as alternate
Both with the same Match-ID (first free one)

Do you want to try again?

4x4x2 is correct, if you look at it the right way

Also if your picture is correct for shape etc, the pictures in the catalogue

Order status doesn't matter for payment, it depends if the order is invoiced
or not.

Hi,

It should be mostly unnoticeable.
Are you preventing Studio from talking to the servers to check for parts update?


Otherwise, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).

Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search

The design ID suggests that it is part of an assembly that was produced around

  Sometimes when I receive a complicated order, I do prefer to send the Invoice
BEFORE I have picked and packed the order and set it to READY.

If that can help...

Since 2006 I send the Invoice - or use Auto Checkout - always BEFORE picking.

From time to time, you may encounter and glitch in your calculation and lose
a dollar or a couple; but that's FAR better than processing orders for free
and eventually put them back in stock if cancelled

Can you spot a 7-digit number anywhere near the barcodes? Are either of them
4598355?

That exact number was not on any of the boxes.

There was an interesting find through, 3 of the 10 did not have this 118789 number
underneath the barcode. Not sure what that gets us but it is something. The
rest of the numbers on each box matched exactly.

* Change 1 Part {Purple to Dark Purple} belvdress04 Belville, Clothes Dress (Adult) Sleeveless Net Top, White Skirt with Purple Dots Pattern

Comments from Submitter:
This blanket does not match any known color and should just be N/A.

It has been established now that this brush does not exist in Medium Orange, and there would have been no reason for LEGO to make a part in a color that had been retired for quite some time. This was more than likely just a mistake on behalf of the person who first inventoried this set.

The bear is likely also just a mistake. The Bright Light Orange alternates were added later on and were assumed to be alternates. Other Belville sets from 2007 were also edited to remove these Medium Orange bears. No evidence exists to suggest that these ever appeared in sets as late as 2008.

Purple should not have been used to make new parts after 2003. This dress is more of a Dark Purple.

Deleting the alternates and changing the colors of the main inventory parts.

A-HA !!

The buyer I invoiced just made payment successfully while the order was at PROCESSING.
Now, the status is happily at PAID.

If I had only waited a few more minutes, I would have been able to answer my
own question.

I will leave the message up in case other sellers have wondered the same thing.


Now for something completely different.

That's crazy! So people like me who doesn't know any better could have
picked up a fake one?

Do you have a link to the check the different markings on the Deadpool minifig.

I appreciate the reply btw. I'm doing all this research for my son who's
a huge lego marvel fan but is only 4.

Not really, Chinese knock offs tend to be true knock offs and don't put lego
symbols. However there are knock offs printed on genuine lego parts. There was
an influx of Deadpool parts a few years ago.

At one stage 1000s of Deadpool heads got listed here, and sold in bulk to sellers
worldwide who then sell them on.

There were also some where the eyes weren't quite tge right shape, these
are reasonably easy to spot especially if you can put them next to a genuine
one.

Dumb Question Time:

As a seller, can I set an order at PROCESSING, send the Invoice, and receive
payment under that status ???

Sometimes when I receive a complicated order, I do prefer to send the Invoice
BEFORE I have picked and packed the order and set it to READY.

This was never a problem before On-Site Payment. Now, I am not so sure.

Thanks for your helpful answers.

Update Pending for Approval Catalog color moves:

  -----

The following items are pending approval for catalog changes and are checked:
(after catalog changes are completed, the inventory change request will be approved)
 
Part No: 42001  Name: Duplo Wear Crown, Closed Top
* 
42001 Duplo Wear Crown, Closed Top
Parts: DUPLO, Figure Wear & Utensil {Copper}
PCC 4260749 (Matches the crown ID in the instruction manual)
pending for catalog changes, please change Copper to Reddish Gold
Also exists in pearl gold (already in catalog with PCC 4493378)
The color image of Copper looks just like my reddish gold
All 3 sets checked and inventory change requests pending approval
-----
 
Part No: 50602  Name: Large Figure Armor, Shoulder with Smooth Layered Plates
* 
50602 Large Figure Armor, Shoulder with Smooth Layered Plates
Parts: Large Figure Part {Copper}
PCC 4253714 (at this moment Reddish Gold has the same PCC as Flat Dark Gold)
pending for catalog changes, please change Copper to Reddish Gold and remove
PCC RG
Also exists in Flat Dark Gold (PCC 428079 correct?) and Pearl Gold (no PCC)
All 3 sets checked and inventory change requests pending approval
-----
 
Part No: 50623  Name: Large Figure Weapon, Sword Sir Santis / Dracus / King Mathias (Series 2) with Axle
* 
50623 Large Figure Weapon, Sword Sir Santis / Dracus / King Mathias (Series 2) with Axle
Parts: Large Figure Part {Copper}
PCC 4255509
pending for catalog changes, please change Copper to Reddish Gold
Has PCC 4493549 for copper, which I think could be Pearl Gold (see Brickset),
but nobody ever added it as alternate to set 8796-1.
Set checked and inventory change request pending approval.
-----
 
Part No: 50629  Name: Large Figure Armor, Leg Shin Guard Type 1
* 
50629 Large Figure Armor, Leg Shin Guard Type 1
Parts: Large Figure Part {Copper}
PCC 4255510
pending for catalog changes, please change Copper to Reddish Gold
can PCC 4284503 be moved from Copper to Pearl Gold?
BL has PCC 4284503 for copper
Brickset has 4284503 for pearl gold, no proof so far Pearl Gold came in a set
though
no color id for flat dark gold
2 set checked, inventory change requests pending approval
-----
 
Part No: 50624  Name: Large Figure Weapon, Sword Sir Danju with Axle
* 
50624 Large Figure Weapon, Sword Sir Danju with Axle
Parts: Large Figure Part {Copper}
PCC 4256812
pending for catalog changes, please change copper to reddish gold
Set checked, inventory change request pending approval
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following items need more research:
 
Part No: 47460  Name: Large Figure Weapon, Sword Jayko / King Mathias (Series 1) with Axle
* 
47460 Large Figure Weapon, Sword Jayko / King Mathias (Series 1) with Axle
Parts: Large Figure Part {Copper}
PCC 4220674
pending for catalog changes,
So far only copper is a known color (pearl light gold and pearl gold for sale,
but not in any inventory)
Set 8771-1 was checked , leaves another 4 sets to check.

Imo this one could be moved to Reddish Gold also.
It's very obvious now that all these 'Knights Kingdom II' parts don't
exist in Copper.
If this sword is ever found in another Gold color, it can be added later once
there's proof. One seller has own images for this part, that look like Flat
Dark Gold, but these images don't show the right color imo, an image of a
Flat Dark Gold sword almost looks black.

We really need to get rid of these Copper parts that aren't copper.

  -----

  
 
Part No: 48495  Name: Minifigure, Weapon Sword, Greatsword Angular
* 
48495 Minifigure, Weapon Sword, Greatsword Angular
Parts: Minifigure, Weapon {Copper}
: PCC 4223106
Reddish Gold is already in the catalog with PCC 4223106
Copper has a rendered image and no PCC
Metallic Gold has no color image, nor a PCC

I have this sword in 6 different ‘Gold’ shades. Both Reddish Gold and Pearl
Gold in 2 different shades, the darkest of each has some kind of a metallic look.
So my guess is that sellers list the darker ones as Copper, resp. Metallic Gold
and that it came in the inventories because of the same reason. Besides those
4, I have a Flat Dark Gold and one that could be Light Pearl Gold (I have nothing
left to compare).

Besides Copper, I also think this sword doesn’t exist in Metallic Gold (not sure
though).
About the ones I have: no idea from which sets they came.


This is the hardest one.
At the moment there are 10 sets left with this sword in Copper.
Jen has to find her set
 
Gear No: 851542  Name: Magnet Set, Minifigures Knights Kingdom II (6) blister pack
* 
851542 (Inv) Magnet Set, Minifigures Knights Kingdom II (6) blister pack
Gear: Magnet: Castle: Knights Kingdom II

I will send a message to bunte-steine.de who has 396 out of the 580 listings
for sale. I'll ask to check the colors and if he knows from which sets /
year they came. It looks like he doesn't add new parts to old listings.

  
 
Part No: bb0188  Name: Magnet Ball, Harry Potter Sports
* 
bb0188 Magnet Ball, Harry Potter Sports
Parts: Magnet {Pearl Gold}
Item 52655: PCC 4260754
Brickset's is NOT SPECIFIED, but this ID suggests that it is too early to
be Pearl Gold.

The color comes closest to the Pearl Gold Knight Kingdom Shields, but like said
above the PCC suggests that it's too early to be Pearl Gold.

Daniel suggests to move this one to N/A

  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Part No: 47474  Name: Large Figure Shield Holder with Axle
* 
47474 Large Figure Shield Holder with Axle
Parts: Large Figure Part {Pearl Light Gold}
: CID 4221623, 4244147
This part may display extreme variation. Still attempting to confirm

Reddish Gold element IDs span from 4185113 to 4268864
Pearl Gold IDs start at 4278076

Comments from Daniel:

Any ‘Gold’ items with element IDs 4275XXX+ should be Pearl Gold, but like some
parts, only element IDs exist. Some of the parts never made it into any sets.
47474 has been confirmed by Ryan to be Reddish Gold.

I believe all 48495s should be moved to Reddish Gold. As it stands, a buyer-seller
issue exists because Reddish Gold swords exist under ‘Reddish Gold’ and ‘Copper’.
A buyer would be incredibly confused to learn that both swords they purchased
were the exact same color, leading to potential bad reviews that are of no fault
of the seller. There’s enough evidence to suggest that this part does not exist
in Copper.

The email doesn't tell me anything, but I dug in and found a CSV that is
mainly gibberish, but under reason code it says DUPLICATE.

The charge they took from me was equal to the charge I originally paid for the
package. I don't know what duplicate means.

Heads up! My request for them to refund me was denied. First time that happened
to me. So I paid twice for the same shipment for a reason called "Duplicate"
with no explanation. I expect it has to do with ShipStation reusing tracking
numbers.

you do about requests like these if you get them.

I did this to two stores a few months ago - found I was missing some window glass
while building a set.

One store threw a few of them in the box, gratis. That was very kind of them.

The other store pushed the order state back, refunded me, let me add the parts,
re-pay etc. It was a hassle for me and the store and must have cost them more
in Paypal fees than the parts were worth. I would have preferred they just decline
the request - “Sorry, too late” would have been fine. I appreciate the effort
though.

  Hello,

I have made some purchases recently in USD, CAD, and NOK. When viewing Price
Guide, and seeing what I paid, the value under "Sold" is higher than what was
on my order, ONLY for NOK. USD and CAD the values are the same..

My question is, am I truly paying what I see in my order / invoice? Why would
an item be listed and sold in my order for 300 NOK but show on the price guide
at 375 NOK ?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Presumably VAT. It is showing what the price would have been if local (Norway)
VAT had been paid.

The render comes directly from LEGO, so we do not need to alter it. Just use

You added the Dark Bluish Gray image of the old one to the catalog, but it looks
like the new Hippo Baby. Did you copy this image from Brickset and is there a
chance the old variant doesn't exist in Dark Bluish Gray and it should have
been the new version from the start?

Or do/did you have the Hippo Baby yourself? In that case: do you know if the
image is correct, for I can't find any Hippo Baby on the internet with those
eyes (except on all copies at Brickset, Bricklink, Brickowl, Rebrickable).

Thanks,
Diana


Hi Diana!

I do not have this hippo baby. When I added that image, I was probably a newbie
around here. I am sure I didn't even know about variants or anything like
that. The image would have been directly from LEGO or Brickset. I can tell it
is a very old image of mine because it is at 80 x 60 pixel resolution. I have
not submitted images in that size for many, many, many years.

Cheers,
Randy

I like the idea- do you do this for orders of low values - like less than 1$
?

Always? Probably not, especially where City minifigures are concerned. I would
part them out (sell as heads, torsos, legs, etc.) unless they're vintage.

As far as Friends mini-dolls are concerned, in my experience they only sell at
certain times of the year and the parts, hardly ever.

Guide, and seeing what I paid, the value under "Sold" is higher than what was
on my order, ONLY for NOK. USD and CAD the values are the same..

My question is, am I truly paying what I see in my order / invoice? Why would
an item be listed and sold in my order for 300 NOK but show on the price guide
at 375 NOK ?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  So far the 1-piece wheels came in sets starting 2011, but I have no idea how
long this set was in production. Does the box show a copyright after 2006?

All the Boxes say 2006

  Did the Bicycle come assembled or in separate parts?
All 4719c02 are listed in inventories as separate parts, with the complete bicycle
as counterpart.

Neither of the 1 piece and 2 piece bikes came assembled this time.

The 5 sets I opened in 2020 were all assembled, and were all 2 piece wheels.

  I did notice that the 2-piece wheels are still in the inventory of
 
Set No: 9348  Name: Community Minifigure Set
* 
9348-1 (Inv) Community Minifigure Set
176 Parts, 22 Minifigures, 2011
Sets: Educational & Dacta: Town
Wondering if the 1-piece wheel came far before 2011 already. It was added to
the catalog March 25, 2015, while set 9348-1 was inventoried February 19, 2011.
Paul added the 1-piece wheels as alternate in 2016. Wondering if the 2-piece
wheels ever came in this set.

Diana

I opened 31 of the 9348 last year and 6 of the bikes were 2 piece wheels.

ok, but did they come assembled in the box, or in un-assembled frames and wheels?

  
To add to this confusion 39 of the 310 heads were c variant in 9247-2.

The heads are a different chapter when they are in minifigs in the set.
But if you know which heads, you can add the c-variants as alternate items.

Thanks Randy.

I noticed the large images for both shields are gone (noticed it with other parts
in the past). Does it dissapear because of these moves to another color?

Diana


Everything works fine for me. Are you using the links above to go to the catalog
pages? Because if you are, they are linked to Pearl Gold. And since Pearl Gold
no longer exists, no Pearl Gold images will show on the catalog pages. If you
just go to the catalog pages from the search bar at the top of the page, you
should see everything correctly. Or you can use these new links:

I believe you are correct in your assumption. Those do look like x88.


  see comparison photo, these were sealed boxes, sealed bags. Does it make sense
to change it or add it as an alternate?


I would have the inventory changed.

Possibly a duplicate listing.

If you open the original order (for the piece you sold) and hover over the image
of the item, you can see the Lot ID (see attached image).

Compare this Lot ID with the second order. If the Lot ID's are different
then you had a duplicate listing.

Is it possible for Chinese knock-off minifigs to come with official Lego markings?

In Buying, tEoS writes:
  Does your Deadpool feel fake?

Despite having all the Lego markings, the plastic used for mine feels like a
cheap Chinese knockoff. I think it also has loose connections

  Hi,

I just wanted to ask the community if anyone owns a Lego Deadpool minifig.

I won an eBay bid on one last week and it arrived today.

The feet, torso, and neck all have Lego logo on it, but the head is hollow and
open at both ends.

Can someone please confirm that the official Lego version does have Lego written
on the top of it please?

Thanks in advance.

You have an official head, the minifigure can come with either the blocked open
stud version or the hollow stud version:

Part No: 3626bpb0703  Name: Minifigure, Head Male Mask Black with White Eye Holes Pattern (Deadpool) - Blocked Open Stud

3626bpb0703 Minifigure, Head Male Mask Black with White Eye Holes Pattern (Deadpool) - Blocked Open Stud

*

For better or for worse BL does not allow for "alternate" parts in minifigures,
but you can still sell the one you have on BL, just add a note as to the type
of head it has.

Interesting. I didn't know that.

The only reason why I can think the hole with the vent is there is just incase
a child swallows it or sticks it up it's nose and it gets stuck and the hole
allows air flow? Dunno.🤔

In Buying, Nubs_Select writes:
  I think they do it that way since notes are for more notable differences as compared
to hollow/blocked heads being on the same Minifigure which is very common

can PCC 4284503 be moved from Copper to Pearl Gold?
BL has PCC 4284503 for copper
Brickset has 4284503 for pearl gold, no proof so far Pearl Gold came in a set

The following items need more research:

* 
47460 Large Figure Weapon, Sword Jayko / King Mathias (Series 1) with Axle
Parts: Large Figure Part {Copper}
PCC 4220674
pending for catalog changes,
So far only copper is a known color (pearl light gold and pearl gold for sale,
but not in any inventory)
Set 8771-1 was checked , leaves another 4 sets to check.

Imo this one could be moved to Reddish Gold also.
It's very obvious now that all these 'Knights Kingdom II' parts don't
exist in Copper.
If this sword is ever found in another Gold color, it can be added later once
there's proof. One seller has own images for this part, that look like Flat
Dark Gold, but these images don't show the right color imo, an image of a
Flat Dark Gold sword almost looks black.

We really need to get rid of these Copper parts that aren't copper.

Part No: 48495  Name: Minifigure, Weapon Sword, Greatsword Angular
* 
48495 Minifigure, Weapon Sword, Greatsword Angular
Parts: Minifigure, Weapon {Copper}
: PCC 4223106
Reddish Gold is already in the catalog with PCC 4223106
Copper has a rendered image and no PCC
Metallic Gold has no color image, nor a PCC

I have this sword in 6 different ‘Gold’ shades. Both Reddish Gold and Pearl
Gold in 2 different shades, the darkest of each has some kind of a metallic look.
So my guess is that sellers list the darker ones as Copper, resp. Metallic Gold
and that it came in the inventories because of the same reason. Besides those
4, I have a Flat Dark Gold and one that could be Light Pearl Gold (I have nothing
left to compare).

Besides Copper, I also think this sword doesn’t exist in Metallic Gold (not sure
though).
About the ones I have: no idea from which sets they came.


This is the hardest one.
At the moment there are 10 sets left with this sword in Copper.
Jen has to find her set
 
Gear No: 851542  Name: Magnet Set, Minifigures Knights Kingdom II (6) blister pack
* 
851542 (Inv) Magnet Set, Minifigures Knights Kingdom II (6) blister pack
Gear: Magnet: Castle: Knights Kingdom II

I will send a message to bunte-steine.de who has 396 out of the 580 listings
for sale. I'll ask to check the colors and if he knows from which sets /
year they came. It looks like he doesn't add new parts to old listings.

  
 
Part No: bb0188  Name: Magnet Ball, Harry Potter Sports
* 
bb0188 Magnet Ball, Harry Potter Sports
Parts: Magnet {Pearl Gold}
Item 52655: PCC 4260754
Brickset's is NOT SPECIFIED, but this ID suggests that it is too early to
be Pearl Gold.

The color comes closest to the Pearl Gold Knight Kingdom Shields, but like said
above the PCC suggests that it's too early to be Pearl Gold.

Daniel suggests to move this one to N/A

Part No: 47474  Name: Large Figure Shield Holder with Axle
* 
47474 Large Figure Shield Holder with Axle
Parts: Large Figure Part {Pearl Light Gold}
: CID 4221623, 4244147
This part may display extreme variation. Still attempting to confirm

Reddish Gold element IDs span from 4185113 to 4268864
Pearl Gold IDs start at 4278076

Comments from Daniel:

Any ‘Gold’ items with element IDs 4275XXX+ should be Pearl Gold, but like some
parts, only element IDs exist. Some of the parts never made it into any sets.
47474 has been confirmed by Ryan to be Reddish Gold.

Lovely number

It’s funny how our minds constantly look for patterns.
Generally it’s faces (in clouds, rocks, or toasted bread) but for some of us
it’s in numbers too.
Each time I work with part IDs, I catch stray half-counscious thoughts trying
to find relations between IDs or bettween the digits in an ID.
I’ve to tell myself that, no, stop looking, 93089 isn’t a palindrome… but it’s
a prime (you checked last time!) and there’s nothing really peculiar in 24246

  Hi,

I’m trying to find out an average price for assorted Bionicle parts. They don’t
belong to any particular sets, they’re just extras we bought our son over the
years and he’s ready to move them on. He’s bagged them up and they weigh about
750g per bag (rough estimate). The parts include some masks, joints and general
bits and pieces.

All of the bags are this size and contain roughly the same amount of pieces.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Like others have said it varies wildly. Masks do well and parts that get lost
easily, projectile discs etc.
One thing I would suggest is you double check ball joint sockets as these crack
very easily and it can be quite hard to spot.

I opened 31 of the 9348 last year and 6 of the bikes were 2 piece wheels.

To add to this confusion 39 of the 310 heads were c variant in 9247-2.

Can you spot a 7-digit number anywhere near the barcodes? Are either of them
4598355?

  Hello experienced sellers!

I have mostly kept my minifigs/minidolls intact... but I have piles of "Friends"
and "City" minifigs that have not moved at all.

However, recently I did have a few random extra "pants" pieces that sold out,
which I thought was odd.

There's a weird part of me that doesn't like selling dismembered heads,
legs or torsos (for reasons silly and less silly).

I think I had seen somewhere else on the forums that full minifigs always sell
better than parts... but I'm not sure if the person who wants 20 of the same
minidoll is going to find my store before I die.

I'd appreciate any advice! Thanks!
Mike

If you have 20 of the same minifig, then list roughly half as parts unless it
is a valuable figure that doesn't have much sales volume if sold as parts.

  Hi all!
So we've had the 6077 forestman set for a long time.
And, both on the instructions AND the Bricklink description, there is a mistake
on the color RED of colar for torso 973p48c01 : it IS REDDISH BROWN, not RED.
It's certified.
thanks
best regards
Soon

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your replies, guys ❤️
Wish you all a great day 😁

Beautiful!

It's my photo. They can be harvested, but I would not know how to upload
them as long as BrickLink still conflates these colours.


You can upload one of them first, and I would accept it. After that, you can
upload the second image, and I can add it as an additional image to the color.

Randy, this change request is about changing

You added the Dark Bluish Gray image of the old one to the catalog, but it looks
like the new Hippo Baby. Did you copy this image from Brickset and is there a
chance the old variant doesn't exist in Dark Bluish Gray and it should have
been the new version from the start?

Or do/did you have the Hippo Baby yourself? In that case: do you know if the
image is correct, for I can't find any Hippo Baby on the internet with those
eyes (except on all copies at Brickset, Bricklink, Brickowl, Rebrickable).

Thanks,
Diana

Thanks Randy.

I noticed the large images for both shields are gone (noticed it with other parts
in the past). Does it dissapear because of these moves to another color?

I sell a lot of minfigure parts. They sell really well for me but you need to
have a good range. Often you won't sell any for a while and then one buyer
will buy a lot.

At first i didn't sell the parts, only the figures. But after a while, when
i started parting out lots of the same set (4+ copies), i would add a couple
of complete figures, and then the rest in parts. It gives you a mix of both
options.

It will also give your inventory a boost which helps with sales.
