| Hi,
I have stickersheet 71459/4106745 but it has 2 entries in the catalog.
and
Can someone explain to me why the same stickersheet needs a separate entry for
each set?
Or can these be merged into 1 entry?
Mine is from a bulk lot, so I can't verify which set it came from.

For sets in this time period, if you see parts used on a box model, they were
most likely included in each set. Look at the underside of the parts to make
sure they are period correct, and if so, I would add them.

They look correct to me.

So, people buy them here on Bricklink for a handful of pennies and sell them

They’ll only be made available for free to blind children through the LEGO Foundation.
They won’t be buyable.
Will there be a policy to forbid their sale on BL? (to prevent encouraging collecting

And if so, will the bricks still be in the catalogue or not?

| | Sure the estimated cost is easier to read, but it is meaningless when a seller
can charge what they like. They might have stated extra costs, in a simplistic
or complex way, in their terms so you have to read them. Showing an estimated
cost that ignores the terms is highly misleading.

I really agree with you on the problem, but I'm not 100% behind you on your
suggested solution.
Probably the best solution, for buyers, would be that every store has instant
checkout or request a quote. (Just like the other site)
But that's not going to work for all sellers, so not a realistic solution.
Showing an estimated cost is, imho, a second best solution.
You don't need to do an almost impossible calculation on x-amount of different
fees that could be applied to your order. Assuming the seller even sticks to
the shipping method you chose.
Giving the buyer the option to cancel (without penalty or receiving neg feedback)
when the difference is too big is imho a better solution.
When you start your order, you can ask yourself: Am I willing to pay an extra
10% H&S on this order or not?
If it's more than 10% added, just cancel the order.
Reading the terms is always a good idea, but how many buyers do that?
And how complicated are some terms written?
Making an order non-binding kills the NPB process. Buyer doesn't have to
pay if it's not binding, but the items are blocked for the seller. So he
can't sell them to someone else.
I could just order my wanted list in 30 different stores and wait for the cheapest
invoice.
Perhaps another option could be a setting for buyers: do I want to see estimated
costs or not when placing an order?

| | BL should stop showing estimated shipping and handling charges, as this gives
a false impression of what they are. For example, I almost placed an order at
this store. But reading through the terms, there are extra handling fees, extra
paypal fees and different shipping costs to those estimated and shown here.
Showing an estimated value gives a false impression, and may lead to a (supposedly
legally binding) order being placed only to find out the actual costs are significantly
higher than those estimated.
Of course, this could be completely removed by making the orders non-binding
until the seller has disclosed all costs and the buyer has a chance to agree
to them. But in the meantime, stop misleading buyers with incorrect estimated
values.
|
I think the estimated cost is easier than reading the terms and doing a lot of
calculations.
But I agree that it could be misleading and a risk of too many hidden fees added.
Making it non-binding is pretty much the same as a quote request, with the exception
that the items are locked.
Perhaps it's a better idea to keep the estimated cost, but force the seller
to give the buyer the option to cancel if the final cost deviates by more than,
lets say 10% ?

So if I understand correctly, for most of these reissued minifigs, the only difference
is the inside of the torso and the stud difference of the head (open/hollow instead
of solid)?
Shouldn't it be best to put up a note about this on the "old" minifig entries?
You guys (and girls/women) have been dealing with every change all these years,
so you know all the differences.
Try looking at it from someone new on the website or new with building Lego.
(Or in my case, someone that has been away from Lego for the last 25 years)
Looking at the assembled minifig, there's absolutely no way of seeing the
difference.
And if you didn't know about the variations of the inside of the torso, you
wouldn't even know the difference if you disassemble the minifig.
And what about trn252?
It looks like a reissue of but020, shouldn't it be named but020new then?
If you want to keep those reissues consistent.

Ok, that makes sense.
But still, if the inventory is exactly the same, does it need a separate entry?
Imho, there should be at least a note saying what the difference is. And wouldn't
that note be sufficient?
For this one, there's only a note to explain the difference, no separate
entry.

I don't believe there are any modern LEGO colors that do not vary in color

and they really need to focus on it.
