| 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?

| I don't know why that happened, but the screen of Studio became like this,
and I can't select or install the parts. Is this a glitch? How can I get
back to normal operation? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it didn't
work.

| Author: | dursagon | | Posted: | Apr 10, 2024 11:10 | | Subject: | LUGs | | Viewed: | 140 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?

| Taking in to consideration the recent thread about accidentally inflating prices,
I spent some time looking at the most desirable parts from a set I'm preparing
to part out 5x of. Half the set was adjusted up, half the set was adjusted down
from the 6 month average.
Then I decided I wanted to give one of them to someone as a gift. So is there
a hack in Brickstore to adjust the quantities down by 20%, or should I just upload
5 and then upload another one at -1?
It's not the end of the world if it's too much of a PITA.

| 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 !!

| I should have read the comments/feedback before buying from this one seller.
He left me a negative feedback after I left him a neutral one. Most of the comments
about him concerned his high price of shipping . My feedback to him was about
stuffing over 100 in two snack sized baggies. I tried talking to him but he is
very belligerent. Why does Bricklink still allow him to have a store

| Bricklink's Studio parts update for the new 2024 pieces came with some bugs.
The new parts added for the April 2024 update don't snap together properly
(or at all) with the current parts in the program.

| Bricklink implemented a suggestion!!!
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=816619
on item listing pages you can now report the item for sale! when you click on
it, it brings you to the report item for sale page with the lot number already
filled out.
Now the question is. has this already been a feature for a long time and I never
noticed it or is it indeed a new feature?

| ENFIELD, Conn. - April 1, 2024 - Announcing BrickLink Dating™
After the failure of its Trionicles line, the Lego Group (TLG) decided to throw
its hat into the ring of online dating. "And where better than BrickLink,
our site for new and used Lego™ parts?" asked Susan Williams, head of TLG's
Consumer Services division since 1978. "Prospective dating partners will
have the opportunity to list themselves as 'New' or 'Used'",
corresponding to BrickLink's most general category. Ms. Williams did add,
however, that some of the best-known features of BrickLink will be missing from
BrickLink Dating™. "We have no plans at the moment to implement any sort
of color scheme."

| Author: | CykillsGarage | | Posted: | Apr 1, 2024 15:41 | | Subject: | Your Favorite Best/Worst Bootleg toys | | Viewed: | 87 times | | Topic: | Off Topic | |
| what is your favorite bootleg toy, action figure, movie, or video game? post
pics! My personal favorite would have to be the Speclatron toy line from 1984.
These most definitely qualify as best-worst  . these were made as a bootleg
to Mattel's Masters of the Universe toy line from 1982. they featured gaudy
color schemes, translucent torsos with water and glitter in them, and by pressing
a small button in the back, the water and glitter would swish around, and cause
"Magic action"
LOL these are probably the worst! the main villain was named Dethlor, and was
the leader of the evil space aliens, and the hero's name was simply Hero,
obviously a knock off of He-Man. the reason why Dethlor is significant however,
he sometimes uses 1984 Man-E-Face's blaster accessory from the Masters of
The universe line. in a silver or blue color. the figures are extremely rare
and are worth a fortune believe it or not!
Post your favorites below!
-Cheers Cy Kill's Garage
