My thoughts too.

  I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Avast so I don't know how to silence
this specific alert permanently. As a personal policy I don't trust third-party
antivirus software on Windows, Windows 10 already has Windows Defender that does
the same job, and layering antivirus software is never a good idea.

So my suggestion would be to uninstall Avast but it really is up to you.

  Thanks for the info.
Any idea what can be done about this, other than ignoring it everytime?

Now I have to wonder, how many buyers are getting this, and avoiding placing
orders here.

Never heard of him.

Congratulations.

  Greetings BrickLink catalog enthusiasts!

You will be pleased to learn that we have just today appointed a new Catalog
Associate - Randyf. Randy has served as an Inventories Administrator for the
last couple years and has done a fantastic job. We feel this promotion, though
it has been long in coming, is very well deserved.

As a reminder to those who are still learning about the BrickLink Community Expert
Program, the Catalog Associate position gives admin privileges over the entire
catalog half of our BrickLink system. After one year's experience, Catalog
Associates are eligible for promotion to full Catalog Admin, which gives them
full privileges on both sides, for both catalog and inventories.

https://www.bricklink.com/memberAdmins.asp

We plan to update the Hall of Fame page very soon. There are several things to
add, including Randy's time serving as Inventory Admin.

Please welcome our new associate!

Many of us here still look at Fahrenheit temperatures, much more impressive talking
about temps of 100 degrees or more.

  It's very odd here with units, I know we are odd anyway, we still use a mixture
of both.

I'm of a generation that has lived through the change over, I don't have
much trouble switching from one to the other, this includes our currency that
changed from units of 12 to 10.

We've never truly made a complete switch.

I'm comfortable either way except with degrees Celsius. When my Canadian
friends talk about "it was so hot today, 30 degrees" I just can't wrap my
head around it.

  When I perform a search, say on Millennium Falcon sets, and then click on a set,
the weight and dimensions of the set are in Metric units. I live in the USA,
and have lived in Europe. So, metric is pretty easy for me to convert in my head.
But, for the people on the planet that use the Imperial system, and haven’t had
to use grams, millimeters, etc., metric is just a bunch of gobbley-gook that
required the extra step of converting somehow..

Feature Suggestion: Add a setting in the settings menu that allows the display
of Imperial units instead of metric units.

p.s. May the flees of a thousand camels come to rest in the armpits of all those
who comment with: “Everyone should just convert to metric!”

Submitted one version under not applicable but can't offer a different colour
under the same not applicable option.

Both images are marbled but quite different main colours.

One is marbled Green, I have a second version of this as each plate is different.

Another is on a block , Dark Orange/Medium brown and marbled.

If there are missing images, submit them and we'll take a look.

If you find any 2 x 4's in that shade of grey, let me know.




In Colors, gunga writes:
  In a large box of loose LEGO, I came across several light gray pieces that I
can't identify the color of. They are from set 41154 and the only gray listed
in the inventory is LBG. The pieces in question are the 1x1 bricks as well as
the 1x2x5 bricks. For reference, the arch, 1x4, and 2x4 are light bluish gray.
The liftarm is very light bluish gray.

I know there is a variance in the light bluish gray, but this is a pretty dramatic
shade difference. And they ALL have the same shade, every 1x1 and 1x2x5. They
are LEGO pieces as I checked the studs and the logo is present.

Any ideas? Or have I overlooked something simple?
