i think this might be what your referring to but I might be wrong

That is NOT the new site they are building. That is the new site that failed
to convince people that it was better than what we currently have.

Also know as the "We don't know anything about how you use the site but we're
going to improve it anyway" version. I can't imagine why they failed!

  but is there anything i can do if its been paid already, and the postage and

is now where near enough...?

So do more work on your shipping options to make sure they are correct. Fulfill
the order and learn from it.

  I found a LEGO minifigure that had arm guards that cover the outside side of
the arm. They attach by removing the hand and reinserting it through a ring
on the the guard. I can't find anything in the catalog. Any ideas?

Thanks

Like these? Brickforge.

Knowing how this sort of thing usually goes, I would not have dropped of the
package and only given up what I was delivered in exchange for what should have
been delivered.

  Oh! No wonder it's expensive. That might be a tough one to find, but hopefully
someone will have a used/applied one available. I don't even think it's
been added as a part.

Hard to find ones like that even if applied are likely to hold quite a bit of
value.

Heck, even if the color isn’t right Minifigure hands are made with POM instead
of ABS (so they don’t break when they flex). This often leads to color matching
issues, especially with older figures that used a much lighter yellow than normal.

I wasn't clear - I meant comparing them to other hands of the same colour
(and age) not necessarily other parts.

And yeah, I know they are different plastic, as they don't dye anywhere near
as easily as torsos or the arm sockets they are in.

  I just want to sell all my legos in bulk - minis, parts and books - all at one
shot. To one person. Do I have to set up a store for that?

Ebay, Facebook, etc are better options for unsorted bulk.

  Hello everyone!

I'm working my way through a bulk lot of used minifigure parts, and I found
quite a bit of arms that don't have the Lego mark on the inner side of the
arms.

Because I found so many, I started wondering if Lego did not put their name on
the arms at first or if this is simply counterfeit. And if they did not put it
there at first, how can I differentiate the genuine Lego from the counterfeit?

Also, if anyone has tips on the hands, let me know!

80s and 90s figures do not have logos on arms. I'm not sure about 2000s as
I have very few. Then 2010s onwards seem to almost all have them.

As for hands, I'd assume genuine if the colour is right and the rest of the
figure is right. Hands are cheap with a very few exceptions, I doubt there would
be wholesale scams of replacing genuine hands for fake ones.

  I sent out an order over 3 weeks ago domestically by first class mail. The buyer
contacted me that it was not received. The USPS tracking shows it as not yet
delivered. I contacted the post office and filed an inquiry and still says it’s
being investigated. As the seller what is my responsibility for refund. I didn’t
have insurance on the item either.

I would ask the buyer to wait a little bit longer, then refund. It's very
uncommon for a package to be delivered after 3 weeks (though it does happen on
occasion).

Definitely follow this advice. Let the buyer know it is being investigated and
tell them that once the outcome is known if it has not been delivered then you
will refund. That way the buyer knows either it will arrive or they get refunded
and hopefully will not take a rash decision to NSS or go to PayPal.

  Good Morning Everyone,

I am looking to trade some Muppet Minifigures. I have one extra Fozzie, one extra
Statler, two extra Gonzos, and two Beakers. I need Kermit, Ralph, Bunsen Honeydew,
Animal, and Walldorf. These are new out of the bag. I am willing to trade one
for one.

You will need to find a store that is willing to take them in payment for an
order via a coupon, so sales tax and fees can still be collected. Although whoever
takes them in payment cannot sell them as new, not only have the minifigures
green assembled, they have also been put on stands and are holding accessories.
