Why bother having a condition if you can just lie and there are no consequences?

there should defiantly be action taken against that. I've also on multiple
occasions ordered Minifigure parts (cant remember if it also figures) and received
clearly used parts
|
Not always. We had twice got scratched minifig torsos from the vey top feedback
store. Since our purchases were in 200 to 500 pieces, it's not likely they
are USED. They should check their inventory more careful though.
|
trust me the ones I'm talking about were very used (cracks, bitemarks, "dirt",
etc) but yes there is a balance. new parts to some extent all have wear. usually
its very minor but most of us have seen a few parts we take out of a new set
that only belong in the garbage can
|
Agree. Sorry I just mean some sellers may not know their inventory was flawed.
When I got 500 torsos all with fine scratches, I didn't think they were used.
But if I bought just a few, I probably did.
We got our share from new lego sets, from broken to misprint. Just found a set
of alphabet. From the misprint, I'd say there are 2 M and 1 W. 😜
|
It is similar to buying M & M's. Around 50% of them are falsified as they
clearly show 'W'......

You didn't get it 😆. When printed perfectly centered, M and W looks the
same. For that misprinted set, all letters shifted to top, you can tell 2 Ms
and 1 W 🙃🙂

It is amazing that they are all badly aligned prints. I wonder if the consistent
offset across all of them means that these are printed as a complete set and
then bagged there and then.

And there was me thinking you had an M that had been rotated 180° ( I thought
M had straight legs and W has angled legs. )
On another note....did they use the N and rotate it 90° to produce the Z?

No, the N and the Z are different shapes. The N would make a narrow Z, and the
Z a wide N, if rotated.
