I'm amazed that, despite the head being rotated, it's actualy printed
level. That's gotta be a misprint!

It is interesting that all the colours are aligned correctly on an unaligned
part, so they must be doing "wet-on-wet" printing - printing one colour directly
after another without moving the part.

Almost certainly a misprint but something that I think will be worth something
to the right person as its set at a nice rotating angle and whilst you can always
set heads at a full 90 degrees where its facing out from the side that angle
always looks a bit forced. I think someone would appreciate something like that
for a display scene compared with always having their astromech droids facing
forwards the whole time

In fact rather than re-releasing almost identical R2-D2's it would be a nice
touch if Lego intentionally made some like this to give a bit more variation
to what is otherwise a difficult minifigure to make look unique when compared
with other minifig characters.

I have lots of those heads and they look to all be facing forwards from what
I can tell

Of course with it being a relatively new set there is always the possibility
that someone doing the set inventory assumed it was the same version as what
appears in the other sets but given the Lego site has images of this minifig
facing forwards I can't imaging it to be an intentional difference?

  Looking for some help or advice. What is the box for that is labeled "BULK" on
the listing page? I don't want the buyer to have to buy a certain amount
of a particular item. I just want them to be able to buy the amount they want
so what number do I put in this box ? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

In which case, the number to place in the box is 1

Rather than removing parts for a set line by line.

I tried to do as you suggested.

I exported an order.
Brought into brickstock.
Added a REMARK

tried to UPLOAD. failure

Exported it to XML, and BL says... "Oops! There was a problem processing your
request:

This gets very tedious when I'm adding several hundred items to "my inventory"
from a purchase from another store.

(I don't sell, I just use the "tore" to track my personal collection and
what I but, from whom and at how much.)

PS: Is there an easier way to bulk add items from an order into my inventory?

Sure
Use Brickstock, import your order, edit it, reupload in your store, takes about
2 minutes (depending on how much you wanna edit it).
make regular full backups of your store with Brickstock and keep the BSX files
safe

Forgot to say, if you use Brickstock, you need to use 'demo' mode and
you will need to setup your Bricklink access (username and password) in Brickstock
to make it work.

  Hi.

A long time ago, when you clicked on "view cart", the estimated weight of the
items chosen by you was available, which helped buyers to know how expensive
the shipping could be.

Will that functionality be enabled again?

Thanks.

José.

Most sellers allow to see cart weights, some don't, you probably encountered
one that doesn't, so there is nothing to change in those regards. Pick another
seller who displays it or request a quote from the seller first (if active in
the sellers store).
Never actually understood why sellers block cartweights, how can buyers judge
over a possible order then or fine tune' their cart based on displayed shippingcosts
(if any)

The few times I've heard explanations is that "we don't want buyers thinking
that will be the weight of the package when we give them a shipping amount"

Multiple sellers have found solutions to this.
Some sellers just include estimated packaging in their weight/price tables.

At least one seller has the weights, of the various types of packaging, shown
on the splash (or terms) page.

I have emptied a LOT of carts (instead of completing check out) due to no weights
in carts.
I will still buy a few small items from these sellers, if they have a much better
price or availability than the other sellers.
I did that yesterday, but the seller still lost additional business from me because
I didn't do my usual check of the store for anything else on my wanted list.
