Do I understand correctly that the hair, round plate, and light saber were missing
from the minifig? If that's the case then I could see why it was removed
- 3-4 pieces out of a total of 7-8 were missing.


The main part is only one piece, so three of the four pieces of the figure were
missing. Once we have a chance to get the inventories for these figures into
the catalog, there will be no confusion over them.


Wel, the figures are only 19 years old.

So why aren't all the listings removed for every single one of these figures.

they likely only remove the ones that are reported. if you or someone else
reported the other incomplete listings then they would likely be removed.


Seems rather implausible to me that someone would look for this figure. There
are 6 listed that were cheaper than mine. 2 of which are missing pieces. The
other 4 have problems. And my figure is the one that gets reported. How does
that make any sense?

And how do you know there are 7-8 pieces since the figure "cannot be inventoried".
And the legs and head are not removeable.

Out of interest what part or parts were missing?


This is what I had written in the description. "Comments: No hair, round
plate, lightsaber, doesn't light up. Rest of figure looks in good shape."

I didn't see last night that you'd already answered my question. I realize
it doesn't answer the direct issue you are asking about, but it appears that
you can bypass the issue and sell yours for $40 if you just buy $3 worth of parts
to complete him. I don't know if you've been treated unjustly, but it
is to your own advantage to do that.

3 dollars worth of parts and another 15 dollars in shipping and taxes you mean?

If your fig wasn't removed automatically by some algorithm, it was likely
due to the missing hair and round plate. Also, the other are still listed someone
reported yours and not the others.

And this had been discussed prior and was said that the figure can be listed
that way since it does not have an inventory. Which doesn't make send because
the figure can be inventoried since the parts are removable. But the fact mine
was taken down and not the others is ridiculous. Especially since this was the
agreed upon previous policy.

Listing are deleted when reported by other users.

And the rules are very clear: minifigures can only be sold if they are complete
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102

If there are other listings that list incomplete minifigure feel free to report
them.


That's untrue for this listing. This has been discussed previously in the
forum I believe. The figure cannot be inventoried so it is allowed to have missing
pieces if they are mentioned in the description. Correct me if I'm wrong somebody.

It was debated, the consensus was just as you say with this type of minifig.
But who knows if that's changed

  There are five different Star Wars figures that are similar to this
one. None of them can be inventoried so they all have numerous listings for missing
parts. Why are those all ok but mine is not?

One of a few analogies; a good percentage of these no longer light-up and we
all know the minifig surgery involved in the unintended battery change, so should
they continue to be allowed listing ability within the "Light-up Lightsaber"
catalog listings, if they don't light-up?

Not enough mindfulness, is all. Not necessarily those doing the reporting, you're
always gonna have an amount of ignorance among those types, but those processing
these reports should have better judgement, or at least the necessary depth of
knowledge for such unilateral and intrusive action. They could also, using that
better judgement, determine when to inquire

An example of what I mean by depth of knowledge: Received a notification that
a watch set was removed from our inventory. This now older set was sold with
two cape variants back in the day, well-know at least among LEGO SW collectors.
But the catalog listing never was updated with this information, and so away
it goes... Along with it went the salient researched history of that LEGO item
within the listing description, for all to read. Which is really the unfortunate
part of this story

Not biggie for us though, and would never have mentioned it were it not for reading
this post. The action actually gets me off my lazy butt to actively sell the
rare SW item, sadly elsewhere now.

-popsicle


Yep, I was almost positive it was discussed and that the decision that was reached
was to mention any problems in the description. Was this a rogue administrator
who removed this without understanding the previously agreed on decision/policy?
Would love for Russell to chime in on this.

That's also a great point. The figures state in the name "Light-Up".
So if the figure doesn't light up, wouldn't that make it incomplete.
Cause that is a good number of these figures that should be removed. It's
outrageous that mine was removed.

  Hi everyone,

I started selling at the end of January and have had a handful of orders since,
but I've only had one buyer leave feedback. Do most people not bother leaving
feedback anymore?

I've left feedback for every order, both buying and selling, and I thought
most people would do the same. Is there anything I could be doing to try to encourage
my buyers to leave feedback?

Your store terms are horrendous.

I'm surprised 25 million wasn't a big topic of conversation in the forum.
Didn't even know it was coming up. I remember 10 million being a pretty big
deal around here.

Well this stinks. That's the site I use. Extremely helpful. I know there
is another similar one. I don't know the name but I'm sure somebody reading
the forum does.

Totally unrelated because I have had no problems logging into Bricklink, but
my Chick fil A App will no longer works...

No help from their customer support, most likely not going to eat chicken again.


Dam f...ing technology...

Since we are playing the "Totally Unrelated" game, I just bought my brother
and his best friend tickets to Metallica for Christmas (I already had mine -
GONNA BE SICK!!!!) on Ticketmaster, and they said the Ticketmaster app was no
longer compatible with my Android.

The second "member" with 1 feedback to leave this store recent feedback

all fraudulent accounts in an effort to make it look like this store has recent

on December 6th. However, this member "bennettforbrick" also now has
selling privileges. How can someone who just became a member on December 6th
already have selling privileges? And shouldn't this account be looked at
very closely, and at a very minimum suspended pending further documents, since
it is 100% obvious that it is associated with L and N Bricks?

All his feedback appears to be from buyers with only 1 feedback. And he gave
all the buyers their one feedback. All those buyer accounts need to be shut down
immediately too.

Judging by this store's feedback. Get the feeling it was also a hacked account.
