He played one of my favourite characters in LOTR, and also famous for his portrayal
of Yosser Hughes. Gizza Job.

| I just realized that it's Star Wars day. To celebrate, I'd love to hear
all the community's favorite characters from the franchise. Random, unheard
of characters are permitted. At the end of the day (or maybe sometime tomorrow)
I will tally up all the answers and announce who the overall favorite is.
Goofing around is encouraged!
Thanks and have fun!

| I went to a undisclosed location for a personal look at the 50% off sets, and
they are real!
Almost everything is 50% off or more!
Now why you should buy,
For example there are 30,
Which part out for about $115 each.
The cost of buying 30 of them is 2395.80
BUT they are 50% off so you will actually pay only 1197.90
Total part out value, $3450, leaving a profit of 2252.1!
Contact if you are interested, and we can work something out.

| Today when I logged on to Bricklink, I realized that 20 years and 2 days ago,
4/20/2004 I created my account AND placed my first order. 20 years!
Thank you to Dan Jezek for designing Bricklink all those decades ago!
Thank you Bricklink for without this marketplace I would not have had a viable
business model that has worked for 20 years.
Thank you to the countless stores across the world that have provided me with
excellent service!
Thank you to the Community (both in chat & forum) for all the questions answered,
the laughs, the Pizza & Mustard wars, the long debates, the catalog adds & changes,
and a place to go to feel included.
I look forward to the next 20 years whatever they may bring.
Forever grateful,
Cass T

| Any cool Lego themed WiFi name ideas?
I’ve been trying to think of a good one, but all I can come up with is “brick
house”.
There’s gotta be something more clever I haven’t thought of.
Any suggestions?

| Over the past couple years I’ve taken a liking to Lego box design and was wondering
where the best place to get bulk empty Lego boxes without ridiculous shipping
charges and if there is a store that has a ton of them.

| Last night I was relaxing watching TV and my printer activated and printed out
a two page order from BrickLink.
The order had been filled, and completed 10 days ago.
The computer had been off and on, as had the printer several times since the
initial order.
How is it that something stays in memory for so long and then just presents itself
to the world, or at least my part of the world?

| Author: | dursagon | | Posted: | Apr 10, 2024 11:10 | | Subject: | LUGs | | Viewed: | 150 times | | Topic: | Off Topic | |
| To whom it may concern,
I wanted to check in and see if anyone was interested in a story about the ugly
side of LUGs and Lego communities that are RLUGs and receive perks from Lego.
I was a member of a Texas LUG until in 2022 I was physically attacked at their
convention by someone thinking I was in a place where I wasn't supposed to
be but was asked by another member to volunteer to retrieve something for them
as they had to stay at the location they were at. I was upset by the hostile
interaction, and I reported it as well as told my wife about the incident, but
I was blown off and my complaint dismissed.
I tried to get along with my abuser for a year after that but the abuse and the
abuser acting like nothing happened bothered me more and more. Then in 2023 I
reported the incident again to the group Ambassador who blew me off and told
me they didn't want to deal with it and I needed to confront my attacker.
I explained to them my past experiences and that I would be too intimidated to
do that, and nothing was done. To explain, I'm Neurodivergent and a victim
of extreme childhood abuse which is why I've collected Lego since 1975 to
help me get past the abuse with creativity.
With nothing being done, I then went to another member of the group who had a
lead role in the group and reported everything to them. They dismissed my complaint
by telling me they'd investigate it and get back with me but never did. At
this point, my attacker has gained more power in the group by giving a meeting
space to the group and inserting themselves into the leadership of the group.
With nothing being done behind the scenes in secret, I made the incident public
for everyone to see. With the leadership of the group now upset about it going
public, they attacked me in posts and verbally in an attempt to protect my abuser.
After they made me feel very unwelcomed, I tried going to other local clubs only
to find out that I had been blacklisted for filing a complaint about how the
group handled my incident.
As a whistleblower, I was abused further and called every ugly thing in the book
including being called crazy and needing to be on meds which is the classic American
abuser thing to say about their victim. Things got ugly and in one of the other
groups, a contestant from Lego Masters prejudged the situation and listened to
the negative blacklisting and began to play mind games by blocking me in group
chats and then unblocking me when I complained only to wait a little while and
then reblock me. All I ever did in the group is respond to requests for parts
and showed what MOCs I was working on. They even went so far as to try and instigate
a confrontation in a thread where I was fulfilling a parts request.
I know part of this is these people are abusers. But another part of this is
the greed with the people in these LUGs. Because Lego gives only so much loot
to RLUGs, these RLUGs hoard what they can get out of Lego and even go so far
as to abuse the Lego LUGBulk program as well as Project Support programs. They
fiercely defend their territories, and they attack anyone who would or could
disrupt their access to the Lego loot. I think blowing the whistle on the group's
activities to forcefully and abusively exclude someone because they were not
as influential as their abuser/attacker.
I am just trying to get the information about the ugly side of Lego collecting
can be out there so that people can be more informed and cautious about some
of the LUGs out there who are not as nice and clean as Lego would want.

| Why is it that when a part hits the floor it disappears? It is amazing how many
pieces I have lost when a part hits the floor. Is there any science behind this?
Could I be the only one?

| Hi all
Received an order the other day, and within 10 minutes the customer cancelled.
Fair enough, no problem - I cancelled the order.
Today had a message from the "Buyer" to say I had sent them a wrong part
- black instead of dark Bluish Grey.
Good try - but no cigar
Have to be alert in this game !!
