  Hi, I recently got these two minifigs in a batch and have asked Lego but they
cannot identify them. The Power Miners one is like PM007 but it has a back picture
similar to that of PM018 but the main body is white. The other one is like Thor
SH018 but has red on the front and a different back and no idea about the legs
but they seem to match the torso. Any help appreciated thanks

Sorry but here are a couple of slightly better photos. Thanks


Second one is sh018

No, the torso on sho18 is different:

Is the first one this?

The second might be a fake as it's got no mark on the neck. Does it have
a lego log on the top?

Does anyone here have any experience of the wall-mounted minifigure display solutions
from Wicked Brick?

https://www.wickedbrick.com/collections/wall-mounted-display-cases-for-lego-minifigures

I'm thinking about getting the 25-wide version in 6 tiers or 2 x 3 tiers
for my Star Wars collection.

I have some of their other products such as the base for the Old Trafford Stadium
and a couple of smaller mounts for displaying Star Wars ships and the quality
of the product itself is not in doubt.

My concerns however with the minifigure displays specifically are:

1) Might the shelves sag over time, especially on the very wide versions?

2) How easy/difficult is it to remove the front? It looks like it's held
in by small screws so I have visions of the corners breaking when trying to fit/remove
it especially when it's wall mounted. Or perhaps it's easier/better
to take it off the wall before trying to remove the front?

Thanks,
Steve

  Hello! I sent a parcel (small order), I have proof of postage (sent with paypal
too, so double proof).
I have to wait 10 days from the due delivery date to make a claim, but the recipient
wants the refund straight away (we are talking about £5).
Should I leave the recipient to make a claim?
She's of course intimidating with negative feedback, but I'm willing
to refund as I am not losing money, so after the claim
What would you do?

It is sad/frustrating that the buyer is threatening negative feedback - perhaps
they are doing this due to a bad seller experience previously? - but as long
as you provide a full refund there should be no need for them to give negative
feedback because of a lost package.

I do normally try and make the buyer wait until you are actually able to file
the claim though since it may well just be delayed and still turn up before that
time.

I have claimed on Royal Mail for loss/damage a handful of times and always been
successful with proof of postage (and once even without because I used click
& drop) so if the buyer is insisting on the refund straight away you could just
refund now based on the claim likely being successful. Of course if it does
turn up before you can file the claim that would be a problem.
