OMG - that would be fantastic. They should do a full Horizon Zero Dawn theme.
Epic game, would produce epic sets. Would buy and build them all.

Absolutely instant buy... there are already a bunch of brilliant MOCs out there

I was wondering if anyone is listing both there new and used Lego as used. I
can see a lot of benefit to it and very little reasons why I shouldn't.

There are two fairly obvious reasons:

It cuts the prices you can ask for the new parts (and still sell it).
It cuts the number of people likely to be interested.

My high prices and continued sales would refute that reasoning...

Been doing that for years; it makes managing a massive inventory (I've maintained
over a million parts for years now) much simpler that way by myself... the only
items I will typically list as new are minifigures, cloth items, sticker sheets,
and a few various items (like stuff on sprues)... but the bulk of my parts is
listed as Used, even though many would be considered brand new; I find my Buyers
are always really happy to find that the "Used" items they ordered, are in like
new condition...

Still though, it makes managing a massive parts inventory easier as one inventory
("Used"), as opposed to two ("Used" & "New")...

I'm guessing you mean this one?

I don't have one (found the image on the internet), but I have seen a framed
one before in person--which I thought was a custom, until I saw the LEGO

How big is your store? I'm trying to figure out how to classify shops by
size. I'm talking about shops that mainly sell parts.
I arrive at the following classification, from very small to very large:

1. very small store 1-500 parts
2. -----------------500-2500 parts
3. -----------------2500- 2500
4. -----------------12500-62500
5. -----------------62500-150000
6. -----------------150000-360000
7. -----------------360000-864000
8. very large store 864000-and more

Do you think this is useful? Apart from the two first classes (1-500 and 500-2500)
every next step is about 2,5 times the size of the previous one.

What do you think?

Apparently, I'm an 8; but I *feel* like a 4...

A couple of parts there that point to it being a custom... take this part:

It came in a variety of colors, but based upon the photo, it is Brown (and it
didn't come in any similar color that could be confused with that, such as
Reddish-Brown)... and it was only produced in these two sets in that color:

I've shipped nearly 300 orders to California addresses this year, and have
not had any go missing... not sure if that is simply because they were shipped

I do know that the local Los Angeles USPS Sorting Facility is not the best at

always delayed showing up online--but the packages do seem to arrive without

I know one can't / shouldn't argue about tastes and preferences but I
have to admit that when I saw a leak about this set on social media a couple
of weeks ago I figured it was someone trolling as the item seemed far to amateurish
/ childish to be a real Lego set.

Imagine my surprise seeing this fugly thing becoming a GWP ...

Again, just my POV, but this is to me the most disappointing GWP to ever come
out and seems at best a joke. I can't imagine more than 30 seconds of thought
went into this "project".
The color scheme just hurts my eyes and the build looks like something that belongs
in the monthly mini-build series.

All kidding aside: was this a special project where a child could enter to create
the next GWP? If so, kuddos to the child for succeeding in making its build into
an actual Lego set.
If this was genuinely created by a certified Lego builder: how drunk was that
person and moreover, how drunk was his / her boss to approve this for a GWP?

Friday rant over.

Is there a way for instant checkout to still be used even if there is no "volume"
listed for an item. I have a bunch of the collectible minifigure sets listed
but most of the newer ones don't have any volume dimensions listed. So I
have to send the invoice manually because instant checkout won't work for
those items. Is there a way too get around this so instant checkout will work
even if there's no volume listed. I've had about 10 of these orders in
the last day and it's like being back in the days of no instant checkout.
I know some people may prefer that but definitely not me.

...and in case you didn't know already; you can check all the items in your
inventory that are missing some bit of information that prevents them from being
purchased via Instant Checkout by going to "My Store--Inventory", then making
sure the "Instant Checkout Unavailable" box is checked, and hitting the "Go!"
button... if anything pops up, they are items missing information that would
allow for IC; you can then add whatever info (volume or weight) is missing manually
(as you can see in the screenshots, I added a weight to them)...

It took me a while to figure this out because a Buyer asked about a specific
item that they were unable to checkout with, and it turns out I had a bunch of
those items that couldn't be sold via IC; because I only set sales for IC,
and the missing volume/weight info prevented any Buyer from checking out if any
one of those items was in their cart (I'm like you, I don't want to go
back to the days before IC!)...

I regularly check it from time to time now, as I add more items to my inventory,
so I don't have that issue again...

Nice. Had no idea about that. Just took care of quite a few listings on there.
Much appreciated as well.

Please consider submitting missing weights or packing dimensions to the BrickLink

I can see your point. I am glad it was finally locked, not sure if it would've

I see that the discussion is still going on.

I received a private response from someone I greatly appreciate. This person

To all those who have responded so far I have to say that I have not read your

It would be nice if this thread could be locked.

@Forum admins: do your work.

So, you went to the forum to express an opinion about something that was bugging
you. A whole bunch of people disagreed and said so publicly. One person agreed

with you. Got it.

Here's what I contributed to the BL catalogue.
I dare MrPetovan.

Why are you making this some sort of competition...?
(I thought making everything a competition was strictly an American thing!)

Seriously though, although I'm all for additional contributions to the Bricklink
catalog; and even a little competition in doing so can be fun; unfortunately,
it seems you are challenging someone seemingly solely out of agitation, and that's
not all that healthy IMO...

I won't tell you what to do here, I will only suggest you take a moment to
reflect on the look you are currently illustrating in the forum; and let you
decide if it is the appearance you want to maintain...
