  I have filed a couple of complaints over the last 2 years that I filed with Bricklink
after trying to resolve the situation with the sellers over numerous weeks.
One issue was they shipped bootleg minifig parts and we even submitted clear
pictures of what was shipped. The second order with a different buyer, they
shipped minifigs with the wrong colored parts. I've lost a total of $65
over these two orders - both of which were gifts for my son. There's no
buyer support and no protection from scammers. This last guy had 12 complaints
in the last year for the same issues and Bricklink is doing NOTHING about it.
The guy is a jerk and I'm out the money. Anyone else having this trouble?


It's an abnormal/problematic shop.

Then you can say:



Scary mindset. It's one thing that you champion such for you and yours, but
to advocate it more broadly is worrisome to those that are not of that somewhat
troublesome mindset. Evidenced by the (satirical) Starship Troopers movie
you invoke, meaning of which has apparently failed to permeate It's meant
to show the absurdity of that statement, iow.

I'm a fan of Heinlein, have MANY of his books, and I know how to read his
words at 2nd or 3rd level.
Otherwise, at 1st level it's pretty stupid, but that's what's genious
in how he writes.

And the Starship Troopers is a GOOD movie to represent this book.
At the 1st level, it's action and dumb - but then it's a far deeper movie


Apart this, OP member have difficulties, and the shop seems toxic.
NSS, Claim, Report - and he already gave the shop a Negative, which is pretty
brave.
Bravo!

My apologies if I misunderstood your use of the Starship Trooper meme. It remains
an uncomfortable way of thinking for me and unfortunately very real path for
humanity.

I'm also sorry - ST isn't an apology of War, even if it may look like
it.

But I shouldn't have used this picture.

100000% agree.

Off-topic, but anyone who enjoys Heinlein should also read The Mote in God's
Eye
by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, about which Heinlein said, "Possibly
the finest science fiction novel I have ever read."
