Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone had discovered/heard anything concrete about what happened
to those of us who had their series 4 orders cancelled. It's incredibly frustrating
seeing them popping up on eBay at twice their normal price when I ordered them
months ago and they cancelled it.

I just don't understand, in a crowdfunding situation, how you could not produce
enough. You know EXACTLY how many you need to produce. I also don't understand
why they aren't offering us the pieces at the same cost as the sets (since
they're available through P-A-B) even if it doesn't have the box/printed
instructions.

Then there was that message going around from the Bricklink team that evidently
-wasn't- from the Bricklink team?

The entire thing is driving me nuts. Any info you've learned would be appreciated.

There’s a cost difference between making 10,000 copies of a sets and gathering
parts for 10,000 PaB orders (or whatever quantity they need).

This message? https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1520172

It IS from the BrickLink team.

If you don’t believe me, see their ID Card:
1. Buyer only,
2a. But they have a store!
2b. But the store has no name!
3. And they have a special role (like I have).

One can’t have any of that without admin intervention.
