  Wrong icons, please correct?

No-tax: Taxes:

There’s no “no-tax(es).”  It’s always “taxes” (obviously!).

I know, but associate tax and smile, I don't know... that seems counter intuitive
to me?

Or rather, when there’s no taxes, it’s (obviously too!) always double-plus-
and (because it’s obvious) not shown on the diagram.

Seller does not support orders shipping to Indiana.

maybe it's local only lmao

No, the problem is the usual one: they don’t offer Onsite payment, so BrickLink
can’t collect taxes.
They do seem to have Onsite set-up but it’s not attached to a shipping method.

Wrong icons, please correct?

No - not likely as it's on the wrong brick.

My guess is this sticker sheet:

B250stk01

From Idea book 250.

  Nice! Thanks for sharing. I got to climb that tower on the left when I was there.
What a view!

Been some times I haven’t travelled near Chartres but it’s all flat there.  You
can see the cathedral hours before you’re actually close to it.

Yes! To be clear we were walking from Paris to Chartres and we got our first
glimpse of the Cathedral's spires near the end of the 2nd day when we were
still almost 20 miles (about 30km) away.

  (If there's a better forum for these questions please let me know!)

LEGO?

  Regarding the Ideas builds on ideas.lego.com - these are just builds by people
not working for LEGO, right? Are all the parts existing LEGO parts, or do
they somehow make new ones themselves? For instance, mini-figures for a new theme.
Do they just find existing heads and torsos that resemble what they are trying
to achieve? And how does this work with themes that include IP from some other
source not licensed by LEGO? For example, there's a Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
set. As far as I can tell, LEGO never made a Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood set.
So how does the designer and LEGO deal with the licensing issue (the likeness,
the TV set, the names, etc. ) to display it on their Ideas website before it's
an official set and before LEGO has licensed that IP?

Also, do the Ideas designers print custom stickers or do they only use existing
decorated peices? And if they print stickers that include another company's
IP that LEGO has not licensed, how are they able to display those?

Thanks!

LEGO Ideas doesn’t have limitations on the parts used (colours & decors, I don’t
think you can use totally inexistent bricks).

The chosen designs are completely re-designed by LEGO (sometimes, according to
some, the results are not looking much like the submissions).

Submissions are limited to IPs in the sense that you won’t be chosen if you use
IP that LEGO already has (Harry Potter, Star Wars…).  You also won’t be chosen
if LEGO can’t (or won’t) acquire the IP.


BDP is limited to a palette of parts available when the sets will be produced
by LEGO.

One can make their own stickers (but not on minifigs).

The designs are not re-designed by LEGO.  They are _checked_ (and produced and
sold) by LEGO and small changes may be done but the goal is to have real AFOL-designed
products.

BDP is “no-IP” at all.  That includes IP LEGO already has rights for (Harry Potter,
Star Wars…) but also LEGO’s IP (NINJAGO…).  There’s tolerance for Classic Space
or Castle themes.

Why do you have shipping costs to Australia set to AUD $1000 or more?

It’s not the shipping that’s AUD 1000 or more.  It’s that their store can’t accept
orders from Australia below AUD 1000.


bricks_dakine:

An Onsite payment method is mandatory for BL to be able to collect the
taxes.
That means PayPal Onsite (not Paypal) or Stripe.

If the order is not paid this way, buyer and sellers are liable for tax evasion:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1401495

BrickLink collects taxes in these situations:
— US Sales tax: most US buyers, when they buy from any seller for any amount,
— UK import VAT: UK buyers, when they buy from non-UK sellers for less than £135,
— EU import VAT: EU buyers, when they buy from non-EU sellers for less than €150.
— Australian GST: GST buyers, when they buy from non-AU sellers for less than
AU$1000.

(UK/EU VAT and AU GST are directly paid by the buyer for other amounts.  Domestically
(intra-UK / intra-EU / intra-AU), it’s handled by the sellers when necessary.)


More info here:
US: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2467
UK: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2514

EU: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2517
    https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2518
AU: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2597

These onsite payment rules are getting annoying.

BrickLink Admins really should rethink what they're putting both sellers
and buyers through!

Cheers ...
