The downside of that is all the popular ones disappear so random pickers get
the less desirable figures only. I remember seeing people with bar code scanners
going through a S2 box of 60 in under 10 minutes, stripping out all the Spartans.

The article states that there will be no such markings/codes on the boxes to
identify the contents...

I never got the surprise thing… except as a trick to make you buy more. As if
TLG needed that. And is that really efficient when you account for the damage?
It’s just a source of frustration.

I understand the blind bags, as they want purchasers to need to buy more than
a complete set and keep chasing them to get a complete set (like Panini stickers).
Whether encouraging kids to gamble is a good thing is another matter, but clearly
LEGO don't have a moral issue with it.
The other reason for it is to make less desirable figures sell but of course
that leads to disappointment when you get one of the less popular figures, even
worse when you get two!

As a Bricklink seller who occasionally sells CMF'S this is gonna be better
for sellers, as people will go to sites like this to find the figures they need.
So I am fine with it, but I can see why it would be frustrating to other people.
I think finding them in store is part of the experience also. Thsi new packadgign

they don't want to the store. I've seen taped up CMF's at my local

You can still largely distinguish them by weight. I have never tried it in store,

About MOC
I wanted to do something more dynamic, aggressive and proportional.
I used all the parts for the construction except for one connector.
The model opens doors, roof, trunk.
There are seats, a control panel (unfortunately without a steering wheel)
There is a massive bumper with spikes, an air blower, four exhaust pipes like
in Pagani cars

It is no first time I was talking with customer service in LEGO.COM and and somebody
there say "you cant resell this product or they only sell for end-costumer"
I have lego b2b account but also I have account in LEGO.COM
When I shop in Lego.com, I shop as private persom.
But I am confused, many people shop in LEGO.COM for ressell later, where does
it say that this cannot be done?
Also when you write name and adress in your LEGO.COM account, you have option

|
| I have just bought the Haunted House. I am also going to buy the looping that
is coming soon.
Both can work with the powerup functions. You always need such a Hub. Now at
Hauted house this hub is listed: 88009 with 2 connections. With the looping I
don't know yet.
Can I also buy a larger hub, e.g. the 88012 hub with 4 connections? Or is there
even a bigger one for future construction sets where you have more than 4 connections.
Or does this not work and do you always have to buy the prescribed hub?
It is for me the first time that I will work with powerup functions.
Thanks in advance for your help

|
| This is probably a question for SW fans out there:
There's an upcoming set, the Inquisitor Transport Scythe with three inquisitor
minifigs.
I believe the Fifth Brother from that set is a remake of the SW0747 from set
75157.
Is the Grand Inquisitor a remake as well? There was a minifig SW0622 from set
75082 which was only named "The Inquisitor." Are they the same character?
