  Hi
Does anyone remember a Prince Harry model by Canadian artist Sarah Mackenzie
from 2008?

Did it come with spare parts?

Apparently it was made entirely from a spare parts bin

  Hello,

I would be very grateful if any Lego fans out there could help me by answering
a couple of questions for a Lego school project...

I'm a year 8 student (12 years old) from the UK and a massive Lego fan. I'm
working on a school Design & Engineering study project and I really want to make
a Lego related product.

At home, I have all my bricks in drawers but when I go away from home I struggle
to take my bricks and Lego projects with me. To help me and others who have the
same problem, I have chosen to design and make a product to help to people travel
with their bricks and build anywhere.

I'm doing some research into what people currently use to travel with Lego
and and I would be very grateful if you could answer the questions below to help
me understand what things you feel would be useful to a product like this

It will only take you a minute or two: https://forms.office.com/e/XWUmpDsYHj

Thank you very much for your help.

Done, best of luck!

I am having the same issue, buyer has tried 6-7 times to pay by Stripe but not
going through and showing as “cancelled” at my end.

*Edit* - buyer payment attempts are actually showing as “incomplete” on my Stripe
account.

It seems that after 24hrs the “incomplete” payment attempts change status to
“cancelled” on Stripe.

Individually, the human mind is the most complex by far, entity in the known
universe. Most beautiful too, as I see it. Can you imagine someday, such unfathomable
potential working in true synchronization, at will? The absurd irony in
my question is; only the human mind itself holds such ability to imagine
that of itself...

I’ve no idea who any in the take are, but it sure looks like they're having
some fun, doesn't it! Gotta feel good, anyway.

Never forget how special you are. Be mind-ful and don't squander
the greatness which you're born with, that beautiful mind

Here's a pic of my son's new (rescue) kitten. That's three cats now

Funky!

  I just read through an entire post related to this (one that no longer accepts
replies). A few minutes before reading that thread I placed an order where the
seller did not offer an option with tracking, that I saw. I did accept all of
the default options and didn't change any options from what the seller defaulted
to (including pay by paypal). When I saw that shipping did not offer tracking,
I looked at my total, and decided it was well within my risk limit especially
for a seller with thousands of feedback, high percent of positive, and mature
responses to the very few non positives.

The seller is in Belgium.
Postage was 8 Euro (low for an international order)

I am curious how much more shipping would be with tracking.

I am curious as to the usual difference in postage cost with tracking vs non
tracking from European countries to the US and within the US.

From Ireland, a standard non-tracked shipping cost to the US of €8 would be €15
with tracking using An Post (Irish postal system). But generally the larger the
package, the less of a difference between non-tracked and tracked rates.
Of course, shipping costs can vary from store to store depending on how sellers
set up their pricing and what postal service they offer.

There is 23% VAT on the total cost including shipping.
19.80 + 7.50 = 27.30
23% of 27.30 = 6.28

Yes, they appear in lots of other themes outside of Bionicle, and in numerous
colours.

Hi there,
BT8 6NY is a correct postcode for Belfast.
Antrim is the County.

So the address should be:
  Name
Street

Belfast
Co. Antrim
BT8 6NY
Northern Ireland
U.K.

Hope this helps.

  Hello
I hope you can help me, I need to ship a Lego set #70622 to someone in Brazil,
Araraquara
city, Sao Paulo.

I understand that Toys are on the prohibited list coming through customs. Could
you please advise (hoping you would have this knowledge) what HS Code would customs
accept? Would they accept HS Code 95030060 Sets or 95030080 Sets for Construction
Toy?

The set doesn't have any metal, or motors, or batteries included.

Or is there another HS Code that will be accepted?

The reason why I ask is that I sent the above listed set on code 9530009 as 'toy'
or 950300
for short, and customs rejected it and the parcel was returned to me.

I would really appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Kind regards
Margaret

I have shipped new polybag sets from EU to Brazil using HS code 950300 and described
as “construction toy” without a problem.
I wasn’t aware toys were on a prohibited list.

If you look at the images for the LEGO part above, you will see that it has a
LEGO logo in the hollow stud that forms the top of the bottle where the screw
cap would go on.
