| Genuine Early Tan bricks, not faded, sorry for poor photo, white and yellow for
comparison.
Early widows in trans clear and a milky trans.

| Who says that faded pieces aren't worth keeping, they also sell when they
look like this.

| Another oddity to prove you can't rule out other parts in strange colours.

| Looking for views on collectable minifigures.
I have a large number of these, estimated at 1000+ in new condition, plus others
in used.
These are from nearly all series so far including series 1 unopened and opened
Team GB.
Just accumulating them at present.
Too many to check individually on the sales info, certainly at the moment for
me due to relocation.
Do these still sell well ?
May start listing some when I reopen in 2022.

| Having struggled to cope with long distance house hunting, now made an offer,
selling a property, under offer , crazy work conditions, caring, running a BL
store and changing jobs it's now evident that something has to give.
I've decided that my store will remain closed indefinitely, almost certainly
until 2022, anything outstanding will be shipped and one order on hold will be
invoiced and shipped when requested by buyer.
If I understand correctly, I have to be active in my store from time to time
to prevent my listings from being deleted, please advise if this is correct and/or
whatever else I need to do.
I'll still be active on the forum and may still purchase anything of interest
that may turn up.
Hope to add large number of items when I reopen.
Packing unlisted stock into moving boxes, can't believe how many I've
used and nowhere near finished.
Here's to a more settled 2022 and finally a less stressful job, cheers everyone.

| Just for anyone interested.
Store closing approx 7pm tonight ( U.K.time ) as I'm house hunting again.
Plan to reopen 26th May.

|
| Just thought I'd ask here if anyone has any experience in : buying, selling
or valuing real vintage lead planters ( not faux ).
These are extremely heavy and not sure I'll need them in Cornwall, hoping
to find someone who buys or deals in more than Lego.
Also have a large vintage farmhouse table that I might part with too, all would
be collection only.
I've really no idea what to ask for them and I'll probably have to sell
via eBay if I can't find a buyer myself, might advertise at work if I can
value them.
Checked online but didn't help much as I can't find anything similar.
I know it's unlikely that anyone can help but worth a try.
Thanks for any help.

|
| I believe it has been done before but is this still acceptable if the Lego side
goes through BL ?
I'm talking about a vintage/antique farmhouse table with drawers ( not sure
of age ) and two vintage/antique Lead garden planters ( real Lead not faux ).
All these are heavy and or sizeable, exchange only in U.K. and would have to
be collected.
Effectively the Lego would be sold to me and I pay with these goods rather than
currency.
If it is then anyone interested can contact me and we can try to work something
out, if it isn't then please ignore this message.

| It's been a crazy 12 months for me and the next 12 months look similar.
I've packed all my unlisted Lego as I'm hoping to move in the next few
months.
Just a heads up for anyone thinking of ordering from me in the near future, things
may change quickly.
I'm looking to rent to begin with which may prevent me from reopening until
I find a new home, the store may be closed for a long time.
Thank you to all my customers and thanks for all those that have sold me items
so far, also thanks to all those here on the forum that have kept me informed,
entertained etc, even if we don't always agree.
Here's to a new, even brighter future and if all goes well a bigger more
organised store.

| Oh well, seems I'm not showing up in searches or I've sold anything of
interest.
Hardly any visitors and no orders for four days, slowest I've been in a long
time, just one of those things I suppose.
At least I'm getting a little free time to pack for moving.
Or am I not alone n this ?

| Thought I'd ask if there is any point trying to add images of these to the
catalogue or does the marbling and the block rule them out ?
Thanks in advance.

|
| This must have been discussed before but I don't remember anything and I
can't find any postings.
Sets 501-3 and 042-1 don't have an inventory list for the vehicle although
you can often find the vehicle bases and occasionally the blue 3001oldb blue
brick seperately.
Was there a reason for not separating these components, I know the string could
pose a problem.
The 3001oldb red is listed.

|
| Part 15107 in two shades of trans blue, only trans light blue known in sets but
trans medium blue listed for sale.
Thought I'd just confirm there are variations/different trans blues.
Info only.

| Can I ask what proof is required to submit the rectangular version of the 3062oldtile
?
I have both the one shown below and the rectangular version without stud that
I suppose would be something like 3005oldtile.
Not ready to list just yet but might want to do so sometime this year.

| This would help in searching for scammers, no stock, no immediate problem.
Many scammers launch quickly with stock as they need fast orders, payments and
then leave.
If we could see this on the members listings along with the squares denoting
buyer and / or seller it would allow these to be checked first rather than wade
through them all.
