Tbh cash makes things more difficult when it’s tax time. I don’t use cash at
all and it makes things much simpler so for their records (or security against
theft) it might make sense for them

True, it is California after all. But I like to pay with cash, as it assists
with helping me not to overspend.

Overspending is the best tho!

What could be overspending???
You just spend what you have to.

Totally agree, but I just can’t afford the cost no matter how fun it is

Sounds like you need a higher credit card limit

Every time they ask me about that(because I always pay on time and spend what
I can pay) I decline.

Sorta like a backup safety net.

Not to get political, not accepting cash is often viewed as discriminatory against
the unbanked. However at a recent trip to Universal many of the restaurants
did not have cashiers or staff taking orders. All food was order in the app and
delivered to the table.

App means phone, means tracked by wifi and cellular data, having to pay monthly
from a bank account, etc. It's far less privacy, for sure.

It is commonly known over here that AI is listening and watching when ever you
do something online.

  Personally I find it far easier not to pay anything with cash and I barely remember
what our current coins are

Yes, I do admit cash is inconvenient, but I rather pay with that than pay credit
interest

  But I respect people using it for this reason

Good or bad, not sure.

Good if you can’t speak English, or are a introvert

But it is known that without human interaction we won’t get sick leading to weak
immune systems.

Yes. Someone was using your account for 8 out of the past 10 years.

D'oh!

Luckily they seem to have been a decent seller though!

Aww, tx.

In fairness, I was refering more to a forum absence. I was #2 in post stats for
a while. I can't remember if it was John P or Foster that held top spot.

When was that?

As a member with seller status, no is the short answer. "Is there way way
to see" why you care who acts in this childish manner?

If it helps you to cope, here's ours

11!? That doesn’t seem right.

And I thought mine was a high number.

UFO's are now recognized as real by the US government and Congress is trying
to tax them. Aliens are suing for the rights to Independence Day and Battleship.

Hey, I saw some of those guys on my way thru Moonbeam

Not if you are a seller yourself - if you're only a buyer then you can see
(apparently).


Ok I’m reverting

  People probably already know this, but Legoland California no longer has any
pick a brick worth visiting at all. They also do not take cash. Anywhere for
any reason. There are two small pick a brick walls, one in a store at the gate,
and another in the underwater store area. Both only had small cups. I had to
buy a bag to carry the 4-5 small cups i did get. I was at legoland florida in
March and they at least had bags, and they also were selling bricks by weight.
They also had a person greeting people as they entered the parking lot, who
informed you they do not accept cash. Legoland california has no one. You potentially
could get stuck at the gate, if you had a bunch of people behind you. I am sure
many are okay with this, but not I. How can they make a bunch of plastic bricks
for sale, but we can not even have a plastic straw? So I have decided, legoland
germany is it. Gonna stay for a week, that's 200g's per brick element
per day, if I am correct. Bring a couple empty suitcases. And give the rest
to a buddy and have him ship them on base. Looks to be about a 3hr drive from
Frankfort. That was my last trip to legoland california. I will not return
again. It's their loss, last time I was there, they had to use x2 golf
carts to move all the stuff I bought to my car.

Totally Disappointed,

Ron P

I guess even LEGO isn’t immune to the crazy’s out in California.
Not excepting cash is probably the worst part.

Comments from Submitter:
As you can see in the picture it is clearly the thin variant.

That isn't how it works. That is the undetermined entry and has the picture
that it had when we realized it needed to be split. That picture is almost certainly
not from one of the foil packs.

I have the foil packs in a shopping cart and I am waiting for my sales tax waiver
to be approved.

So, does that mean you are going to fix it?

How would we know it when we see it?

Dirt cheap prices on valuable sets in larger quantities.

That's everything on facebook marketplace.



Aaa, yes the sewer market

  So I pretty recently bought the GWP Tahu and Takua set, and have been noticing
an alarming number of cracked parts. I put the set together, occasionally pose
it a little, but haven't done anything like repeatedly disassembling and
then reassembling the set. Most of the time the set is just standing on my little
shelf, not under any direct sunlight. Yet it seems like every time I pick the
build up, I find a new cracked piece. All three side-stud pieces in both takua's
and tahu's head are cracked. both the ingot pieces on Tahu's, cracked.
One of the arches making up takua's arm? Cracked. One of the half-pound tiles
that makes up takua's toes? Cracked.

And that's only what I've found. I have a suspicion that if I were to
take the set apart, I'd find even more cracked pieces.

So my question is, well, in the title.

Yep, just look at the renders of this new set. As you can see the colour inconsistency
is crazy.
