LEGO?

Regarding the Ideas builds on ideas.lego.com - these are just builds by people
not working for LEGO, right? Are all the parts existing LEGO parts, or do
they somehow make new ones themselves? For instance, mini-figures for a new theme.
Do they just find existing heads and torsos that resemble what they are trying
to achieve? And how does this work with themes that include IP from some other
source not licensed by LEGO? For example, there's a Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
set. As far as I can tell, LEGO never made a Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood set.
So how does the designer and LEGO deal with the licensing issue (the likeness,
the TV set, the names, etc. ) to display it on their Ideas website before it's
an official set and before LEGO has licensed that IP?

Also, do the Ideas designers print custom stickers or do they only use existing
decorated peices? And if they print stickers that include another company's
IP that LEGO has not licensed, how are they able to display those?

Thanks!

LEGO Ideas doesn’t have limitations on the parts used (colours & decors, I don’t
think you can use totally inexistent bricks).

The chosen designs are completely re-designed by LEGO (sometimes, according to
some, the results are not looking much like the submissions).

Submissions are limited to IPs in the sense that you won’t be chosen if you use
IP that LEGO already has (Harry Potter, Star Wars…). You also won’t be chosen
if LEGO can’t (or won’t) acquire the IP.

BDP is limited to a palette of parts available when the sets will be produced
by LEGO.

One can make their own stickers (but not on minifigs).

The designs are not re-designed by LEGO. They are _checked_ (and produced and
sold) by LEGO and small changes may be done but the goal is to have real AFOL-designed
products.

BDP is “no-IP” at all. That includes IP LEGO already has rights for (Harry Potter,
Star Wars…) but also LEGO’s IP (NINJAGO…). There’s tolerance for Classic Space
or Castle themes.

Why do you have shipping costs to Australia set to AUD $1000 or more?

It’s not the shipping that’s AUD 1000 or more. It’s that their store can’t accept
orders from Australia below AUD 1000.

bricks_dakine:

An Onsite payment method is mandatory for BL to be able to collect the
taxes.
That means PayPal Onsite (not Paypal) or Stripe.

If the order is not paid this way, buyer and sellers are liable for tax evasion:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1401495

BrickLink collects taxes in these situations:
— US Sales tax: most US buyers, when they buy from any seller for any amount,
— UK import VAT: UK buyers, when they buy from non-UK sellers for less than £135,
— EU import VAT: EU buyers, when they buy from non-EU sellers for less than €150.
— Australian GST: GST buyers, when they buy from non-AU sellers for less than
AU$1000.

(UK/EU VAT and AU GST are directly paid by the buyer for other amounts. Domestically
(intra-UK / intra-EU / intra-AU), it’s handled by the sellers when necessary.)

More info here:
US: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2467
UK: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2514

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2518
AU: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2597

These onsite payment rules are getting annoying.

BrickLink Admins really should rethink what they're putting both sellers
and buyers through!

Been some times I haven’t travelled near Chartres but it’s all flat there. You
can see the cathedral hours before you’re actually close to it.

(You know, the usual “How much farther?” from the backseats and the front seat
answers “Not far! Here’s the bell tower” and one hour later it’s at the same
place

)

Great memories.

Hope that explains things.

The subject is the counterpart / combo for {30179 + x39c01}. There’s several
30179cxx, but not with x39c01 in Yellow.

There likely never will be, either, unless TLG decide to do a rerelease of 6434-1
which I highly doubt would ever happen as it's from a bygone era.

The yellow door at the time of it's original release happened to fit the
color scheme of the era the sets were going through, nowadays, it's all color
coordinated and we know a lot more about the parts numbering scheme TLG uses
internally.

If there ever is a need for that particular yellow door in a set design, perhaps
they would reuse it, although given their color palette now, I'd expect it
would turn up in some shade of yellow.

54930c01 Electric, Light Brick 2 x 3 x 1 1/3 with Trans-Red Top and Red LED Light

So, I have a few of these light up bricks that won't light up. Bought some
new batteries, but they still won't light up. I had a good one on hand the
does light up so I opened it up to see if there was something special about the
brick, now it won't light up.

Is there a special procedure to replace these batteries? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, for looking

Ensure that the polarity of the battery is correct.

^^This... I have replaced many of these batteries over the years; I can try to
remember to check when I get off work today, but I believe the two batteries
each need to be facing the same direction to ensure it will light up properly
(also make sure there isn't anything in the slot on the bottom of the brick--it
originally comes with a thin plastic item to preserve the batteries when it's
not being used)... also ensure you have a battery tester to make sure you aren't
adding a dead battery to it when you replace them (even the batteries you buy
them in packs brand new, some may actually be dead; I've found about 25%
of these little buggers come dead right out of a brand new pack of 25-50)...

Life is Good.

it is not available. IIRC, there is/was a suggestion for a full inventory audit

No, the problem is the usual one: they don’t offer Onsite payment, so BrickLink
can’t collect taxes.
They do seem to have Onsite set-up but it’s not attached to a shipping method.

Wel hebben BTW plichtige verkopers te maken met wat nieuwe wetgeving waarbij

Dan grijpt Bricklink wel in. Maar ik geloof dat niet-BTW plichtige verkopers
daar niet het mikpunt van zijn (en zo ja kun je het admin team je KOR toepassing
tonen)

Sorry, het zit anders: Als je de grens van €10.000 omzet uit andere EU landen
overschrijdt, moet je die nieuwe regels toepassen voor al je bestellingen naar
andere EU landen (dat wil zeggen: je moet een BTW nummer hebben, en BTW heffen
over die bestellingen). Die regel gaat dus vóór de KOR.

(Je mag voor je Nederlandse omzet wel gewoon de KOR blijven toepassen, maar dat
lijkt me een slechte deal aangezien je dan ook geen BTW kan aftrekken van je
inkopen)

Als men als (kor) de vat heeft uitstaan dan komt er op de maandelijkse fees van
bricklink btw bijgerekend
Maar moet men deze dienst/handeling ook niet aangeven als bijzondere belasting
en nog eens btw betalen?

Als kor mag je geen btw aftrekken/opgeven bij de belastingdienst, maar je betaald
deze natuurlijk wel gewoon aan leveranciers (als die btw-plichtig zijn).

Hello everyone

I have been having problems with my Shipping options showing, when someone buys
from my store. The thing is, that when a customer goes to checkout it will show
them only the cheapest shipping option. Ive looked at all the settings, when
it comes to shipping and store settings and i just can not find what is causing
this, therefore i sent a message to Bricklink, however they have not responded
for a very long time.

Thank you ahead of time for any answer!

Dan

NO tricks Just Bricks!

Did you put al of you shipping methods in the same group?
Only the cheapest option of a group is shown.

Select group ‘none’ and al the options meeting dimension and weight requirements
should show

Thank you so much!

I thought, that the groups of the shipping methods was just an organisational
thing.

Thank you very much, big help!!!

Weet iemand hoe dit geregeld is bij bricklink of zijn er instellingen voor

There is a GDPR issue if you cancel a drop shipper's order. If you cancel
and they have already changed their name and address to another customer's

address and possibly the phone number of someone with no connection whatsoever
to the order.

Please report this to the help desk, moved this to Tech Issues as order details
should be the same as in the order.

You cannot set such a filter in the "for sale" / browsing menu. It has

Then you look at their reviews from last year and they don't look good.

I have had no contact or orders from this store, I'm just asking as something
doesn't seem right.

Why are you 'outing' a store? You could have asked the same question
without giving any details about the actual store identity.

Really surprised with these being a Bricklink/LEGO official release kit that
no digital files are easily sourced from either website. Or maybe I am just
blind.

Thanks for any tips where to look.

BDP instructions for Round 1, Round 2, and Round 3 are right here:

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/past/bdp-2021.page

Thanks, I did discover that just now.

I would think it highly beneficial to link to the instructions from the catalog
entry pages as a note on each kit though. Since all but the initial backers
buying the kit will never see that page, most all moving forward would expect
to find it linked in the set catalog entry or on LEGO.com. As is it is extremely
hard to find. I only did since I knew where the set originated from on the other
pages of the site.

A “dash” is considered a flat bottom pin, so what you’ll need to look at to decide
is the group of four hollow studs on top - are they all connected to make a kind

don’t connect to each other (older version).

Evening from Texas,

new to this so quick question

3747a vs. 3747B one has a circle on bottom, mine has more of a dash. the other
does not show the bottom. if its the dash which one should I be selecting?

Thank you in advance.

Other differences between these varieties are:
- the height of the tip
- the angle of the slope
- the size of the holes in the studs

We allow buyers to buy for dropshipping purposes, but only if they do not burden

Bricklink also allows buyers to use false location information for the purposes

shipping.

My only negative is from one such individual, and their address did not have
the telltale signs of a freight forwarding address. Yet, they are sill listed
in Oregon and complaining about "Seller do not accept the payment from other
country." These falsified locations just do not feel right to me and it
seems ripe for abuse with Bricklink tax collection spreading around the globe.

Is there anything being done about this "burden" to sellers?

This is my order summary and yet I've never shipped outside of Australia.
