I have to say the chessboard looks nice. But why they decided to make a Lego
chessboard all smooth on top is beyond me. And no lip around the edge, so don't
try to carry the thing with chessmen on top... Unless you want to build them
again.

I am sure it is meant to be both.

I think if it were merely a movie scene then there would be a way to attach the
pieces to their starting positions.

Ryan,

would you please confirm that it is actually 366 and 367. 366 would be bad news
as we already have a LDraw color in place: 366 - Earth_Orange

How about shadow RGBs for these opal colors?

Cheers, Willy

If LDRAW is following Lego's numbers, Earth Orange should be 12. If LDRAW
is not following Lego's numbers, then there's no problem, just use another
random number for these new ones. If LDRAW is inconsistent in its numbering,
that should probably be addressed before adding new colors

If you have this set in your collection and can confirm you Mace Windu came with
it, please reply. I suspect that the Mace Windu figure in this set is actually
an unrecognized variant that ought to be added to the catalog, along with his
head.

I've got a fresh unopened copy. I think I bought it for my son who wanted

Well, to be honest, I _did_ teach quite a bit back in late 1990 - early 2000.
I was a fully licensed Microsoft/SCO/SuSE/RedHat/Symantec instructor, doing one-off
low-level network security courses for the DoD and the NATO in the Netherlands
(including some hacking stuff - that always made people "oooh" and "aaah" - fun
times). Then things became too "main stream", new "instructors" got licensed
because they didn't make enough mistakes on their instructor's exams,
they only tried to regurgitate the course material (I had to take over a few
classes because the so-called instructor was so bad), so that kinda killed the
fun for me.

And here I am, doing first-tier help desk support fixing printer connection issues.
Oh well. At least it is way less stressful at my age.

Niek.

Yup. Your end tag is in fact a syntax error. If browsers were to strictly follow

Especially in the earlier days, when pages were written "by hand", this would

That perhaps others using other browsers may not have been seeing what I intended

The type of error here is a syntax error. Any browser will simply throw out the
malformed tag. The remaining surrounding HTML code will then show there is a
missing closing tag (a _very_ common error), and the browser will slip one in.

If so, don't I feel a fool...

Nah. People are not fools because they don't know something (just because
I don't know how to do open heart surgery doesn't make me a fool). You
did something, result was as you expected, so naturally your way of doing was
correct. And in this case it still is - it gets the job done (with the help of
friendly browsers). It was just me being pedantic.

It's possible but I'm guessing it looked fine on the most widely-used
browsers. Your H1/H2/etc. tag would have been closed automatically because it
was nested.

Yeah, I don't really understand this last paragraph of clarification, considering
the code as written, worked as intended. Not only for altering text size but
other things such as boldness, spacing, etc.

For myself, I'm gonna leave it as somewhat of a mystery for now. Got other
things to manage at the moment and my brain handles only so much reasoning at
a time, these days

Thank you, both you and Niek, for taking the time to offer the heads-up and attempt

I would use the Banner field, too: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/display.page

It's far more visible on all product pages of your store, and difficult to
miss or ignore. The Announcement field text, on the other hand, is small
on the page periphery and can be dismissed or collapsed.

Is there an easy way to make my entire store a superlot?

Also I have a bunch of sets that are not in inventory that I was going to sell
separately. I got stuck on the upload image part of creating a "bulk lot" item

Store has a "current inventory average" value of 153k and sets have a "current

for store OBO.

Any tips would be helpful

You could contact Brickmania and see if they want to buy a large portion of the
store. They're the biggest buyer of parts on the site and only go for new
lots.

I’d start by setting the selloff price as the minimum buy and reopening the store:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/management.page

Using any or all of these fields, Slogan ~ Announcement ~ Banner to convey
your intention with the high minimum: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/display.page

Opening your store places your inventory back onto the market, giving you more
exposure, allowing 24/7 perusal of your inventory and greatly increasing your
ability to cultivate prospective buyers.

In the meantime, you’ll no doubt generate offers to consider with your inventory
exposed with selloff caveats. Don’t drop your pricing, until you have structured
a deal. At which point, close your store and set it up, transacting with
a close store and password.

Just one of several ways of doing it, Joe.

You can create a custom item with your entire store at a fixed price if you aren’t
interested in negotiating the price. As I understand them, a super lot wouldn’t
help since anyone wanting to buy a single item from your store would automatically
be on the hook for US $75,000 worth of merchandise 😅

You are better off with what you just did, a forum post advertising the sale
from where people can reach out to you privately if they are interested.

The Giant Penny is one of the iconic trophies in the Batcave.

Here is a custom printed version and a larger custom made version.

Which do you like better?

Well, I’m going to be honest and that may hurt you, so sorry about that first

The custom printed one wins hands down… but then, isn’t printing cheating?

Now, the bad review on the big one: even knowing it’s supposed to be a giant
penny, I can’t see it. Starting with fact it’s not round. Then the brown shape
in the middle doesn’t look like anything recognizable, even squinting my eyes,
certainly not a face. Without indication, I’d have said “Maybe a beer pad?”

If you want to try again, don’t make so small a mosaic, it looks like Braille
or a Rorschach ink test. Maybe try something more like the Brick Sketches:

40386-1 (Inv) Batman
115 Parts, 2020
Sets: Brick Sketches: Super Heroes: Batman II

40428-1 (Inv) The Joker
170 Parts, 2020
Sets: Brick Sketches: Super Heroes: Batman II

…
But on so small a build, maybe simply use a real minifig head (with beard and
hair)? Make it 3D.

[…]
366 would be bad news

Well, LEGO colour IDs are incremental. The last (publicly known) colour was
365, so that the new ones are 366 and 367 is not surprising.

And it will only go on this way, so if LDraw wants to follow LEGO IDs, and as,
IMHO, doing one big change would be better than having to move one colour at
a time, LDraw will have to clear the numbers at least up to 400 if not 1000.

Otherwise, there’s the path used for LEGO-351: LDRaw-10351. So adding the new
ones as 10366 and 10367. But then, there’s LDraw-10378, so there’ll be another
problem in a few years….

No problem, maybe use a bit of dark gray, dark bluish gray, light gay, flat silver

No problem, maybe use a bit of dark gray, dark bluish gray, light gay, flat silver
etc, stones are never one color.

of course you mean add the illusion of colour and texture by using different
colour pieces!

I haven't made purchases for years, but recently bought a number of parts
from multiple vendors and I'm wondering: did Lego Group issue some kind of
administrative crackdown as far as part quality goes, or are these vendors simply
stellar? Used to be that used parts were really risky and I could end up throwing
out as much as half because they had excessive scratching/teeth marks or were
worn out to the point that they wouldn't connect to other parts. In several
of my recent purchases, even the used tiles looked really great.

Would just like to know before I write any more feedback.

I could be wrong, but I don't think TLG has been cracking down on anyone
in regards to quality; it just seems that any Seller that attempts to sell unusable
items can only do so for so long before it's reflected in their feedback,
and people quit taking the risk anymore...

Though a quick glance at some of your recent feedback shows a great group of
Sellers, so there's no doubt in my mind that you have been dealing with the
"simply stellar" ones.

I haven't bought from BrickLink before the acquisition from TLG, so my perspective
is different, but I would be less ecstatic than you about the quality of the
parts in the 90+ orders I received.

On the whole, I estimate about 25% of individual orders had a package mistake,
either missing/broken/wrong color/wrong mold part or parts. Compared to the overall
number of lots and parts I bought, it still is pretty low, though, nowhere near
the 50% ratio you are evoking.

With Used parts, I found out it really depends on individual stores, in my last
batch, one store sent Used parts in very good condition, while another sent several
dirty and many worn parts. Since I'm using the Auto-Select feature in the
Wanted List Buy page, I'm not picky the first time I order at any store,
but I'm definitely adding a couple stores on my Dislike list with each batch
of 10-15 orders.

It isn't personal, I just expect better quality and am ready to pay marginally
more before having to resort to New parts.

I recently got a Flying Time Vessel in a lot, and it is all glued together! The
glue does seem particularly strong, as much of the set has come apart on its
own and I see no broken pieces, it's also possible to scrape and pull off
bits of glue from some of the pieces.

I was thinking of trying hot water or alcohol, but thought I would first ask
here if anyone has any sure fire methods for getting glue off of parts.

Well.....seems only -some- of the parts used that mild adhesive, a lot of the
ship is actually glued with something far more hardcore. I had to throw it out

I did manage to salvage a few parts out of it though, mostly the technic pieces
and dragon arms from the front and such. At least it wasn't a more valuable
set!

Yeah, don't use alcohol if you can, it will mess up the parts' color;
hot water will do the trick if it's white glue, but if if was hot glue, for
example, then, you should be able to remove it with a blow dryer and a wooden
stick (so that it doesn't get soft from the heat, like plastic could do,
and doesn't scratch the plastic like metal).
If this really doesn't work, then, you can use alcohol, but you may have
to repaint your parts later on.

What are your thoughts?

Depends on the size. For small builds, like 16-32 studs, plates are OK.
For a bigger MOC, you might want a combination like Bricks 10x20 or Brick 8x16
on Baseplates 32x32. This gives you the advantage that you can also have occasional
holes in the ground (pot holes, man holes, steps, gutters) or space for cabling,
while keeping a smooth underside.

I think your choice should be determined on the size of the final build and how
stable you want it. Will your model require multiple large plates or will
one large baseplate do? Will you need to move the model? A baseplate is likely
to bend and warp with movement, possibly causing structural damage to whatever
is built on top. If it's something that you or others will play with, movement
and stability needs to be taken into account.

If it's just a decorative/display item, a baseplate blends in more readily
to whatever it's placed on (plates jut up just a tad, causing a visual dissonance
to the surface it's sitting on).

I am planning a larger build to display, not to play with, so I guess I will
end up using some base plates and see how that turns out.

Lego is going all in on Monochrome in a couple weeks. Are any of these ones
that were previously impossible to get?

Don't know, but I really like the product!

TLG has finally followed through on what has been a glaringly obvious
marketing opportunity for some time now.

Another proverb ringing out: large entities are slow to react/respond

They did a great job designing it and the price seems to be really good too.
I look forward to getting one to build and several to hold onto and if it parts

There are 2 places where you can redeem codes on the Lego website.
The first one is in your basket where you enter codes for VIP promos like the
coins (you can only do one of these per transaction)
If you click proceed to checkout, just before you enter your payment details,
you can add the voucher codes from VIP points. You are able to add multiple of
these.

Hope that all makes sense and is helpful.

Thank you, Paul and all - I'll try multiple vouchers. Since there was only
one field I was reluctant to cash multiple $100 fir fear I could not use the
2nd and 3rd one on the same order

It has been about a year for me that I used VIP vouchers but I believe there’s
a new blank space for a voucher when you fill the first one.
(Too many empty spaces, or a fixed number of spaces would just confuse people
another way.)
