  Hello,
I noticed that on the Colour Guide Page there is no image for Flat Silver (95)
even though there is many images for that colour in the catalog (here is one:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4073#T=C&C=95 ) Could
one be put on the Colour Guide Page?

A few are missing I think:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp?v=1&itemType=P&itemNo=
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp?v=2&itemType=P&itemNo=

I never look at any version of this except List, so this was a nice change of
pace.

The only other ones that are missing are colors that only appear in Gear items
(a known issue that we have no way around) and some Modulex colors (not very
important). Flat Silver is the only color that should really have a representative
image that doesn't.

Cheers,
Randy

We are currently waiting for a bug fix to the admin page that allows us to be
able to make changes to the Color Guide. Once that is in place, I will get this
fixed right away.

Cheers,

52 orders for a zero-feedback new seller with tons of Star Wars items priced
too good to be true?

Yikes, that's either a lot of people confident of getting their money back
if scammed or just maybe people need some more skepticism.

That's one way to put it.

  What about the street sharks? Or the toxic crusaders? Or the biker mice from

all great examples. more would be GoBots, and Extreme Dinosaurs.

here is a pic of Cy-Kill from the series.


My Leader-1 Super GoBot got more play time than almost all of my other toys combined.

I still have it and eight other Super GoBots all in their original boxes.

  So many brands that I have collectibles from, and yet nobody knows what they

SilverHawks! Yes!

Throw in ThunderCats and you have my absolute two favorite cartoons from when
I was growing up in the 80s!

It is unfortunate that SilverHawks did not last very long. I remember it being
on for only a short period of time.

  This looks like it is just an error in the minifigure image, so it would be nice
if we could get an actual photo of that figure to replace the artificial image.
I could not find any evidence that the torso with black lines actually exist.


It doesn't look like a render to me.


It's not.

And Brickset's own minifigure image shows black print on the torso:

A somewhat normal human.


Yep. And half of all people are below-average intelligence.

In other words, stupidity abounds in the world.

Comments from Submitter:
This set contains 3 axle 4L instead of 2


Nice catch!

As already mentioned in a prior post, there are indeed three black 4L axles needed
for the first build in the set instructions (2x in Step 6 and 1x in Step 7).

After accepting this request, I manually adjusted the inventory to have a total
of three and removed this separate line entry.

Cheers,
Randy

  So basically I found this guy selling 200+ regular 501st troopers for $5 which
is suspicious. Quickly, all the stock is bought out I bought 52 from him for
$290
total because shipping and sales tax, and I ask him when he would ship,
he said in 2-3 days, then he closed down the store and the store message says
"refunding buyers". Seems like other buyers had an issue same as me.

There was also a negative review saying there was no refund and the seller ghosted.

He also had other suspiciously cheap items like 10 (sealed) (complete) 2022 AT-TEs
for $90 each which were like $140 retail maybe $120 on discount at best so this
makes no sense. Also a ton of complete 2023 501st battle packs for only $10 which
isn't possible, even on discount it's still $12, and $15 retail. I ask
him how the ATTEs are so cheap and that I want to buy some, no response, store
closed.

Should I file for a refund with PayPal before this guy gets away? Is there
a guarantee that PayPal can refund me if this is a scam or what if he closes
his bricklink account and closes PayPal and just disappears what am I supposed
to do?
