| I recently found the "hide items if havewant qty" filter when I use "Wanted
list" in a shop, which is great.
However, it will be a bit tedious to have to open the filters and check it each
time. I would like it either to remember my last setting, to be configurable
as default, or to always have checked as default (which makes more sense, since
items I have is not wanted).

| I agree that if I want 0, then I don't want any, and have=0 means fulfilled.
Sometimes I would like to keep an item in a WL but with want=0, but not only
will it not show 100% completion, also those parts will appear, with incorrect
wanted=1, if I click the Buy-all button.
I personally do not think "people might accidentally set want=0 when they mean
want=1" is a valid reason. People might as well set 0 when they want 4, or
2 when they want 7, or a million other things. The times when that assumption
causes things to become what was intended are most likely less than the times
it causes (or keeps) things not to be.
One could mark want=0 with a color in the WL (similar to how want is color-coded)
to help people spot unintentional zeroes.

| Hi.
I bought the 10261 roller coaster a while back, and built it this weekend, but
unfortunately it was a disappointment, as the trains will not run down by themself,
there are way too much friction. I have seen videos from reviews where it works
perfectly, so I wonder if anyone else have had the same problem as me?
It's not that I haven't built it properly or something like that,
and it is not even close to working, with either a train nor a single car. If
I manually push one car from the top with a lot of force I can get it to come
up the first up-hill after the initial drop, but there is no way I can make it
go around the bend to the next down-hill. And it is the same everywhere else
on the track, i.e. starting a train with the break-wheel will not get it past
the first bend to the elevator-track.
I have noticed in this set as well as in some other sets that I have bought recently
that the feel of the bricks are different, the plastic feels kind of rubbery
to the touch, and I have assumed that lego have changed the type of plastic they
use. Anyone else that have noticed this and/or know if they have changed their
plastic in the last 2 years or so?
My thought is that it is a new plastic, and that is has more friction (both for
the wheels to rotate, as well as towards the track), and the reviews I've
seen that is four years old had the old plastic. Otherwise I don't know what
it could be. It was a sad final to hours of building

| Hi.
I've never bought a brand new release before, but got excited about the 10300
BTTF about to be released on lego.com on april 1st.
Now I found the first reseller announcing it, but it will not be available there
until july 1st.
I was looking forward to get this on the release date, but I'm not sure it's
worth paying 184 EUR at lego.com when I can get it from a reseller for 139 EUR
three months later... (even if I might get a little Easter gift set)
I can understand if Lego want a few months to cash in on those who just can't
wait (since lego.com in general are much more expensive than their resellers).
But I wondered if it is a common thing for Lego to do, to delay the release
to resellers several months?
I assume there are a lot of seasoned buyers here that would know. (Perhaps it
is just that one reseller that are late, but I fear not.)

| Hi.
Among some black 3298 slopes I ordered I got one that had this sticker on the
back.
I can't find any piece that should have this, so I am unsure if this comes
from an actual LEGO set, or if it is a 3rd party sticker.
Anyone recognise it?

| Hi.
When I select "EU" as Seller-location search-filter, it still includes UK shops,
even thought they are no longer part of the EU.
I know there are suggestions and discussions before regarding VAT handling, which
I understand might be slightly more complicated to implement. But simply excluding
UK as part of the EU selection for filtering seems like a simple fix to me...
