| Had a rude wake up call today.
As of July 1st this year and later on from September 1st buying from the UK has
become increasingly expensive for EU buyers.
The treshold of 22 euro has been abandoned from July 1st. Every sale will be
taxed, even if it is below this treshold (there is no treshold....).
Taxes are to paid on the invoice of the seller and by the customs dept in Holland;
so the purchase is double taxed (2 x 21%!). And I have no possibility to reclaim
it.
Plus there is 4 euro fee for handling if it is less than 150 euro value of the
shipment (10 euro if it is above...).
A 27 GBP (32 euro) order (included was shipping for 5.75 GBP, taxes for 4.82
GBP (21%)) became 10 euro more expensive because of this.
I know, I am free to buy or not to buy these parts in the UK. Unfortunately the
UK seller(s) are the only one in Europe with these parts....
But if this is the result of Brexit, I will end buying from my UK Lego-friends.
Too bad it turned out this way.
So long my UK-friends.....

| @all here at BrickLink,
Dan remains a true icon for me. What his vision encompassed and what was beyond
that, we will never know. He was not given the time to realize his dreams
Happy reminders go back to my early days here at BL, now 13 years ago. Dan popped
in now and then in discussions and forum threads about the database and more
silly stuff. Soon after it went quiet....
I never met him, but his spirit is still here.
Let's keep that spirit alive, in honour of Dan!
Keep building, keep connecting, keep helping!
Cheers
StarBrick

| Why are sets limited in volume per region?
Europeans can not pre-order sets like the shipping vessel that is amazing!
Is this the new way Lego provides sets to all?
I hope the digital instructions will be downloadable in 2022  .

| In the past few days many posts about moving items in the catalog came along.
Apparently we moved a few months ahead in time (see picture).

| When changes like flesh2nougat are made, what are the effects on the usage of
BrickStock for uploading, parting etc?
Any thoughts?
