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

Second one is sh018

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.

| Hi
I have purchased a number of part 3626cpb0877, however the ones I have purchased
seem to be a different colour to the one I already have.
I’ve attached a photo. The head on the left is the one I personally took from
a set (pearl gold), the one on the right is one which I purchased recently.
The one on the right is clearly a different colour so I have a few questions
I am hoping someone might be able to help with -
1. Are there any known issues with differences in pearl gold colours?
2. If this is a misidentified colour, what colour could it be?
3. Could this be printed. It’s a fairly rare part?
Appreciate your time and support on this

1. Are there any known issues with differences in pearl gold colours?
Yes, absolutely.
In my experience Pearl Gold the worst offender for colour variations (closely
followed by Dark Red, Dark Blue and White).
I even have a set of the gold legs from the figure you've pictured where
one leg varies significantly from the hips and other leg!
I refer to the darker version (as per the head on the right) as "flat gold" but
there is no differentiation of the various shades on Bricklink or Lego.
It's particularly frustrating as a seller if someone orders multiples of
a pearl gold part and you have to send them a mixture of hues because you don't
have enough in either variation to fulfill the order.

| Hello everyone,
Just wanted to see what you are thinking about adding the packing slip/order
overview to a shipment. Do you prefer this as a buyer? Or are you typically verifying
your order with your tablet or laptop at the side?
Curious to see if the packing slip improves the buyer experience or not.
Cheers,
Arnold

As a seller I always include a packing slip with my orders and I've had several
comments saying how useful it was, especially on larger orders.
I print it draft and 50% size and double sided in order to cut down on ink/paper
as much as possible. I also use it to check off the parts as I pick/pack them
which I find easier than doing it on a screen/tablet.
The only time I might consider not sending the packing list is if the additional
weight/size tipped the order over into another postage price bracket.
As a buyer, I've rarely received a packing slip but my orders are generally
quite small so it's never been a problem.

This is a good place to start but I believe there are some colours that Bricklink
doesn't distinguish:

It looks like the wrong images were removed, I can now only see the images without
the chin dimple.

The images are the correct ones. You either need to do a hard refresh of the
page or clear your image cache.
|
Ah Great, thanks, all correct now, sorry for the confusion!
