Looking for the 2002 Clone Building Event Box.

Don't need the figures or all of the figures, mainly just looking for a nice
condition box.

Any other Canadians unable to provide decent rates to overseas buyers?

If I want to sell something to the EU, my only two options through Canadapost
are surface which is around $100CAD for a mid-size box or xpresspost air which
is around $160CAD for that same box.

That seems insane. And it's the cheapest service I can find out of Canada.
Smaller boxes have more affordable rates, but include no tracking or insurance.
Surface options also take 4-12 weeks without update on tracking which will void
the purchase as lost by payment vendors. So I'm stuck with quoting a buyer
$160 to ship a box to Germany.

I have a really neat vintage part for sale.

Not only is it missing a part of it's print on the top, but it was wrongly
applied to the bottom of the piece!

Piece is in nice condition. Not yellowed or cracked as many of these vintage
raised baseplates often get. A really unique piece to add to a vintage collection.

Added it to my store.

I recently ordered a couple brown classic smiley faces from a Bricklink seller
with around 10k feedback and a very good reputation. Out of the 8 heads sent,
3 arrived broken. I thought this was just a case of the parcel being squished
in transit, but on closer inspection, the heads don't look right. The texture
of the plastic feels off and the print looks thin. It almost looks like there
are little lines running through the heads.

First picture is the breaks in the 3 heads, second picture is a comparison between
the ones I ordered and one I had. The head on the body is official Lego since
I pulled it from a set. If I didn't have a direct comparison, I would have
probably overlooked the differences.

Is this a case of factory variation, brittle brown or just fake product?

I have perhaps one of the largest misprints ever. Raised baseplate part # 2552px3.
Not only is it missing the rock print on the top, it's been mistakenly applied
to the underside of the baseplate. Baseplate is in really good condition for
a 30 year old vintage part, no cracks or bends that are common in these, color
is good.

Priced at $400USD. It's a real one of a kind piece for a collector of misprints
or vintage parts.

I have a bulk lot of 44 minfigures, mostly Paradisa and Town themed for sale.

Figures are used but the next best thing to new, really stellar condition, especially
considering most are around 25 years old. Includes bulk amounts of really neat
figures including; 12x par018 and 9x par003.

Have the entire lot listed in my store for $75US.

Just recently purchased this and wanted to share since it's a bit of an oddity.
 
Part No: 2552px3  Name: Baseplate, Raised 32 x 32 with Ramp and Pit with Blue Water and Dark Gray Stones Pattern
* 
2552px3 Baseplate, Raised 32 x 32 with Ramp and Pit with Blue Water and Dark Gray Stones Pattern
Parts: Baseplate, Raised {Light Gray}
The part was flipped the wrong way when the rocks were printed on it. Resulting
in both sides being printed, and the top missing a partial print. I haven't
seen anything quite like it before and am surprised it exists, made it past quality
control and survived 30 years to today intact.

Downsizing my collection and decided to let go of some of my extra vintage figures.

There's a total of 80, all in gently used condition. Almost all from the
town theme. Have it listed as a custom lot in my store for $100USD.

Noticed this was with the new landspeeder set. I reckon this is the first chrome
lightsaber hilt in over a decade if it's correct.

Interested in lots larger than 10 in North America as well.

Part No: 70501d  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Coin Type 1 with 40 Mark

70501d Minifigure, Utensil Coin Type 1 with 40 Mark
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil

I distinctly remember having a set of silver chrome coins in my childhood collection.
It looks like there's some listed on Bricklink, but they aren't attributed
to anything in the catalogue. Is this just a factory variation in the gold chrome
coating of the coin, or was there any actual silver chrome coins made available?

Right now, I keep almost all of my figures in tackle boxes. But I'd like
to put some up for display and hang it up on a wall. I'm not a huge fan of
just lining them up on a big base plate.

Sorting through my vintage figures and noticed this one looked a little off.
Don't know if this is a common mistake, but thought it looked a tad funny
and wanted to share.

More of a foreheadman than a forestman

Does anyone know if it's fine for Lego to be stored in air-tight ziplock
bags long term?

Just got a notification from Lego that my round 1 designer program purchases
shipped along with tracking. I'm in Canada, so it seems like they're
finally shipping in North America!

If anyone is selling any Star Wars figures by Christo based off of the first
Lego video game, please let me know. If you have customs by other early makers
as well; citizen brick, brickmania, etc I may be interested as well.

I have an incomplete 4709 Hogwarts. It is mostly sealed except one bag is opened
and the first bag containing most of the figures is almost entirely missing.
Put it on for 20% off. Excellent vintage parts pack full of old greys and hard
to find pieces to add to your collection.

This may be a long shot, but is anyone selling any early Brickmania castle sets?
