| I consider myself a Lego unboxing robot, of the organic kind, near the end of
one long chain in the Lego distribution network.
Therefore, it is unusual when I find myself having a good time parting out a
set. Don't get me wrong, I like parting out sets, but it generally is a job.
The series 26 minifigures part out was fun and felt nothing like work. So many
exciting parts too!
with molded sleeves
This entire piece is molded!
Dual molded M-tron exoskeleton legs!

If you've parted these out, what were some of your favorites?
I would especially like to hear from axaday since they did a lot of the inventory
submissions on these (thank you axaday!)

This is really unfortunate. I wonder if the change in packaging has anything
to do with this. Poly bags really didn't allow for much jostling, the boxes
seem to rattle quite a bit.
Thank you for posting your results here.
Also, it is refreshing to see a new seller so conscientious about doing things
correctly. Keep up the good work and never stop learning.

|
So, do you believe it is the ink from the instructions? Do you feel it is possible
to be cleaned off without damaging the printing?

Then why is https://store.bricklink.com/TheToyHoarders#/terms still open despite
being closed and directing people to ebay and marketplace?
And, yes, I have reported the store and nothing is done about it.

| | ENFIELD, Conn. - April 1, 2024 - Announcing BrickLink Dating™
After the failure of its Trionicles line, the Lego Group (TLG) decided to throw
its hat into the ring of online dating. "And where better than BrickLink,
our site for new and used Lego™ parts?" asked Susan Williams, head of TLG's
Consumer Services division since 1978. "Prospective dating partners will
have the opportunity to list themselves as 'New' or 'Used'",
corresponding to BrickLink's most general category. Ms. Williams did add,
however, that some of the best-known features of BrickLink will be missing from
BrickLink Dating™. "We have no plans at the moment to implement any sort
of color scheme."
|
They do, however, plan to implement involuntary merging.

Same... even much more, we want to make people be able to build what they wish.
Which is why since the first day, we've no extra fee, no limit, no minimum
or selling by bulk qty or super lot, accepting like 15 currencies, all payment
methods that work, and all shipping methods you can wish.
But as of right now I've concerns about a Security I don't wish, and
even if I click "I don't wish" they may implement / fail it 
BrickLink silent, unplanned, uncommunicated, capricious and arbitrary changes
freighten me 100000x more than all the all-times hackers united.

They do testing:
1) Deploy silently at any time in production.
2) Read the forum.
It works.

Personally, I am a bit tired of being the canary in the coal mine.
But I keep coming back to life and a little of me dies, metaphorically. Ironically,
I can't seem to get enough. Maybe I'm a masochist.
But really, I just want to sell Lego to people.

Please let us know if you continue to experience problems. Thank you for your

Nothing like testing in production!?! I guess it is better than no testing.
