Lego S@H.... is... a competitor? On a site owned by Lego?

talk about being your own worst enemy!

I don't agree often with you, but this is at least one time I do.

That is where I have to purchase the designer Program sets, why can it not be
linked in the forum?

Well, that is foolish and short sighted.

Explain how The Lego group is a competitor of The Lego group?

Do you want S@H & PaB to have stores here?
If not, what’d be the difference?

(If yes, you won’t make many friends here. )

No, because TLG committed to the users before the acquisition that they would
not do that.

Now you are just creating straw man arguments. It also creates an inconsistency
in that BL will be allowed to link to TLG but the membership cannot.

  Them the rules. Always have been, didn’t change with the acquisition.

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=126

IMO, saying rule 6 meets this criteria is not in the spirit of the rule.

Links outside the forums are not under my responsability to check and they don’t
need to obey the forums’ rules.  (They may have to follow other rules, see the
ToS.)

To be precise: “6. No active promotion of a competitor's website.  Linking
to other websites that offer items for sale that can be sold on the site is also
not allowed.”

Note that it says “also,” not “for instance” or “that is.”

Is S@H the same site as BrickLink?  No.
Does S@H offer items for sale that can be sold on BrickLink?  Yes.

It’s strictly the letter and it’s also the spirit.

Case closed.

I don't, no no no

But one thing is sure, IMO.

BrickLink and LEGO are 2 different commercial entities, I guess.

If we'd allow links to PAB Parts and LSAH Sets - for instance, not only -
then the forum will be soon a long catalog of links to LEGO products on their
site.

This will - more or less - but for sure decrease the business here.

And drastically decrease the interest of the Forum

It's more interesting to talk about the Brick Violet for instance

Why?  Because PaB will be included as an option for the MOC Pop-up Store?

(An option, not a store.  You’ll only have access to it when you buy on the MOC
Pop-Up Store.  It won’t appear in searches, store lists, or on the Buy Page. 
To be more precise, buying on the MPS means buying instructions and parts for
one of the proposed MOCs.  If you don’t buy instructions, you won’t be able to
buy parts.)

Again, make up your mind: if S@H & PaB are not competitors, why are you unhappy
with PaB in the MPS?  If you don’t like PaB being included in the MPS, why would
you want links to them in the forums?  Why would you want them treated differently
than Amazon or eBay?

It’s double standards: MPS is the slippery slope to replacing all the BL stores
with PaB but putting links to S@H/PaB instead of the BL catalogue is fine and
dandy.


Or are you saying that my post is like a good kefir / yogurt / cheese: it
was a little bland and wattery at first but you find it more tasty now it’s aged?

…. It’s a Lego set. On their site. And it’s not released yet. We don’t have
any on BL; how is that a competitor?

ALright, welp, in case you missed it there's a new lego set that I can't
show you because it's not on BL so I can't do a macro.

It's another large scale Ninjago set and there is a really nice page for
it on (the site which shan't be linked to) for set 71799. Check out the
embedded videos and tell me if that's a flushing toilet.

Confirmed, they flat out say it's a working toilet on the page. But they
use a brown 1x1 round tile as the doo-doo. Seems like a brown hot dog may have
been more apropos.

Lego already has a poop part, #98138pb342. It would work in the new toilet.
