  I just looked through the Reddish Brown decorated minifigure legs list & these
legs don't show up, I'm assuming it's either a custom printed piece
or fake Lego as a whole

These look dark red to me.

Thankyou to all who have helped 👋🤗

allowed so to BL it looked like a cyber attack.

No, it's a question of excessive number of queries, server load, etc.
See BL Terms?

I guess if it's minor, your IP will be unbanned tomorrow after BrickLink
midnight 00:00 EDT, in 5+ hours.

He was blocked a month ago, why do you think tomorrow will be the magic day he
can get back on the site?

  I have gotten 1 minute blocks back when I was least favoriting 10,000 stores (at 9,653 right now), because I was loading stores so fast.

Is there a reason for doing that?

If he buys a lot then I suppose it least favorites open stores that have prices
over the average so that the Easy Buy page works better for him.

  Hey guys. Not sure where else to post this query, but has anyone noticed that
"Nougat Arms" left and right are actually orange? Is this a known issue?
In one photo on the catalog they look orange. When you click the photo, they
look Nougat. I placed an order recently from a fellow Canuck, and received arms
that definitely looked more orange than nougat. Is this a known issue?

I've illustrated the issue with this crappy photo, but you see what I'm
getting at.

The lighting is bad, but they look like they could be nougat hands and medium
nougat arms or light nougat hands and nougat or medium nougat arms. It is a good
idea to photograph and compare them to something where you know the colours are
correct.

Hi all,

I have photos for the stickered parts for set
 
Set No: 76155  Name: In Arishem’s Shadow
* 
76155-1 (Inv) In Arishem’s Shadow
477 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2021
Sets: Super Heroes: Eternals
that I want to add to the catalogue, however I'm not familiar with the Eternals
movie, so not too sure how to describe the patterns.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Steve

I would call that "orange" but it's not Lego orange, which is much
brighter.

  Over a month ago, Bricklink blocked us from their website, because we were taking
statistical data from the store ranking list to put on our personal excel spreadsheets.
We have sent multiple emails to Bricklink, asking to resolve this issue and
we have yet to receive any replies to our requests. Also, our service provider
cannot change our IP address and resetting our router also does not change our
IP. We need this resolved soon. Does anyone know how we can contact Bricklink
by phone, or how we can fix this problem?

I would start by reading the TOS you agreed to when you signed up on the site.
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/terms_of_service.page
Pay particular attention to Section 17.

I have gotten 1 minute blocks back when I was least favoriting 10,000 stores
(at 9,653 right now), because I was loading stores so fast.

If this has been going on for a month, the problem isn't going to fix itself.
You must have been doing some hard scraping to where the site considered it a
DDOS attack.

I would not repeat this behavior in the future. The API is provided, learn how
to use it.

Here are 5 options. This isn't even a full list.

1.) Send endless emails letting Bricklink staff know you were abusing their site.
Probably doesn't matter because you are unlikely to get a response that solves
your problem.

2.) Change your IP address. If your router doesn't have this feature, buy
another router.

3.) Request your provider change your IP address. You didn't try hard enough.


4.) Switch providers.

5.) Use a VPN with coupon for $25-$30 US a year ($2 a month).

Youtube and Google are your friends.

Minifig No: hp309  Name: Professor Gilderoy Lockhart - Nougat Torso and Legs

hp309 (Inv) Professor Gilderoy Lockhart - Nougat Torso and Legs
Minifigures: Harry Potter
has light nougat hands, nougat arms, and medium nougat hair. I have
one of him on my desk, holding a dark nougat wand.

Nougat is a pretty orange color, but I don't think you'd mistake them.

Are those nougat hands? They look more like light nougat, but all of this is
very hard to tell on a camera phone.

I assume they were blocked from using the API. They still have buying and selling
privileges.

Oh OK, but then, did they read the API Terms?
I'd say no.

I've had reasons to contact BL in the past, and found it near impossible
to contact anyone who actually works for BL. They want you to use the "Community"
resource, good luck. (credit where credits due, the "Community" does
help sometimes, just a bummer to rely on complete strangers for technical BL
help instead of the company, but that's what it is.)

  Hello,

Firstly, I apologize for the trouble.

I added a Set by mistake to "parts" , and I was hoping someone could
delete all the parts so it's not counting them in my parts inventory? The
8 sets in My Collection are correct, just not all the parts from the Space set.

Thank you for your support.

You can delete the items by clicking the trashcan.
