  Hello everyone, this is my first ever post. Long time lego fanatic and have now
hit the bulk buy stage! Recently got the Tallneck and several Modulars and have
jumped right back into the hobby after many years.

So my question for you all is as follows...

I bought a bulk set of used Lego locally in the UK and found this creation in
it.
I thought it might be the Lego Ideas Exo Suit but it doesn't seem the same.
I have searched the database extensively and cannot find what it is. Can anyone
identify this? Or is it just an excellent Moc build that got unlucky and thrown
out for sale?

I have uploaded two images because there is some really creative use of parts.
The join on the mech harness appears to be cowboy pistols! Lovely.

Thanks everyone,

Nikabrix

Maybe this?

I didn't take the time to shop for your set specifically, but Wicked Bricks
has lots of great stuff like you are looking for and I think they are based in
the UK. I have been happy with stuff I bought there.

Thanks, yes I have some of the Wicked Brick stands too (which are great) but
they only do a limited range of wall-mounts mainly for minifigures and helmets,
nothing suitable for the gunship sadly.

I've since found a couple of possibilities on etsy that may work but nothing
directly designed for the gunship.

Not specifically within super-heroes but elsewhere there are quite a few that
just differ by having a cape (or not), e.g.

Within Ninjago there are a lot where it's just a scabbard/armour or other
neck/back accessory that makes it different, e.g.

  Hello everybody,

We've temporarily changed the date for the Spring category move from May
1 to July 1. If you recall, last year it was set at April 1, but going forward
we plan to stick with May 1.

Please refer to this page for a list of all items changing in this cycle:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2520

We had previously announced this in a newsletter, but we have since added a number
of other items to the list.

There is a relatively new category that we are beginning to populate:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?catType=P&catString=1215

It is called Human Jewelry, and we will be moving several bracelets and rings
there - all Parts that were previously considered to be Gear items.

The 2 changes with the most marketplace effect are these:
 
Part No: 32606  Name: Plant Flower with Bar and Small Pin Hole
* 
32606 Plant Flower with Bar and Small Pin Hole
Parts: Plant
 
Part No: 11609  Name: Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Star and Small Pin Hole
* 
11609 Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Star and Small Pin Hole
Parts: Plate, Round
which will be moved out of the Friends category and into non-themed generic categories.
A large majority of the uses of these parts are outside the Friends theme, especially
in recent years.

This is certainly a step in the right direction - the sooner that "Friends" category
is removed the better if you ask me.

Most of the items in there should be under minifigure accessory (handbags, frying
pan, medical equipment etc.) or a new category "Mini Doll, Hair Accessory" for
the various hairpins/sunglasses. Also some plants (flowers) and animals (starfish
etc.)

  Good morning,

thanks to whoever has the answer to my question.

Can I with BL see if I have all the pieces in my inventory to build a specific
set?
if the answer is yes, how do i figure it out ?


TY

TANIA & DANIELE

You can sort of do it from your Iventory page: on the right hand side in the
"Search my inventory" list there is a "Parts from set" option. Using that you
can see all the parts in your inventory that are from a particular set number.

However it doesn't deal with quantities, just lots, and you'd still need
to go through the set inventory manually to work out what other parts you are
missing.

Despite that I have used it on occasion just to give me a rough idea of how far
away I might be from building a set just from my inventory.

Why would someone try and sell keyring parts as regular tho? That seems really
sketchy.

Yeah it seems unlikely and the colour of the print does look a little off (could
be just the picture though) so perhaps it's a fake. Seems odd though that
the seller would not have spotted that stud type before listing it for sale.

There is a Krennic keyring so it could be that?

So for the first time ever I had an order returned with a Royal Mail sticker
on it indicating the reason for return as "addresee gone away".

I've tried to contact the buyer but had no response in over 2 weeks and the
message has not even been read.

I feel like I should refund the buyer but it's hardly my fault the buyer
has "gone away" so I feel a bit loathed to refund the full amount including the
postage so was thinking about just refunding the value of the parts.

Just wondering what others would do/have done in this circumstance?

Thanks,
Steve

  Hello Bricklink Community

I bought a relatively large Lego Technik model a few years ago, sometime between
late 2012 and late 2015, it cost between 150 and 250 euros. I mean it would have
been a yellow construction vehicle, an excavator or something similar.

For some reason, I never built it completely (see pictures) and the rest of the
parts have also disappeared. My own research as to which model it is has not
unearthed....

So I ask you: can you tell from the pictures and my information which model it
is?

Have fun guessing and THANK YOU for your help!

Do you know about some list of the bags from this set?

I've just opened a sealed version of this set (late Xmas present!) and the
list of contents as follows:

Inside the main box there is a smaller white box (numbered 6187649) which contains:

1x Green 16x32 baseplate
1x LBG 8x16 plate
3x bag "1"
7x bag "2"
5x bag "3"

Then loose inside the main box is:

1x 10255 instruction manual (6207089 is printed on the plastic wrapper)
1x Green 32x32 baseplate
5x bag "4"
7x bag "5"
7x bag "6"

So I make that 34 bags in total.

From the reviews of the set here:
https://brickset.com/sets/10255-1/Assembly-Square

"The box contains more than thirty bags numbered in six sections. A separate,
smaller white box contains Bags 1-3, a light grey 8x16 plate, and both baseplates.
The remaining Bags 4-6 are loose in the main box."

So it looks like it should be 6 main big bags plus 2 loose baseplates and 1 loose
plate.

Hardly a priority development item but it would be great to get the maximum length
of the "Slogan" and "Announcement" fields in Store Settings increased from the
meagre 50 & 80 characters to something a bit more useful like 200 characters.

Thanks

  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

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
Gary

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.

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!

  What do you call them?

It took me awhile to ID this set given it's called a caravan.

In the midwest, USA these are referred to almost exclusively has "campers"

My idea of a caravan is like a line of camels in the desert. lol

 
Set No: 4435  Name: Car and Caravan
* 
4435-1 (Inv) Car and Caravan
210 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2012
Sets: Town: City: Recreation

That's definitely referred to as a caravan here in the UK:

noun
1. BRITISH
a vehicle equipped for living in, typically towed by a car and used for holidays.
"they spent a fishing holiday in a caravan"

A "camper" to me is one you can drive by itself such as the VW camper
 
Set No: 10279  Name: Volkswagen T2 Camper Van {VW Bus}
* 
10279-1 (Inv) Volkswagen T2 Camper Van {VW Bus}
2207 Parts, 2021
Sets: Creator: Creator Expert: Traffic

Whereas a caravan is a separate "trailer" you have to attach to a car/other vehicle.

But yes, a caravan is also a procession of camels

2. HISTORICAL
a group of people, especially traders or pilgrims, travelling together across
a desert in Asia or North Africa.

  Hi,
I would like to see if anyone can confirm how many of the 93555 Flat Silver Ice
Skates are in set 40107-1.

The constructed image with the set shows that there should be 4x (2x on minifig
hol052, 2x loose to the side of the rink), yet the image on the instructions
and on the box only shows 2x in total (to the side of the rink, not on hol052.)

The set inventory shows 2x 93555 included, while the minifigure inventory for
hol052 also has the 2x 93555 listed.

I bought this set locally, used, on the weekend from a reputable adult collector,
and it only has 2x skates included.

Thank you!
Dennis

The last page on the instruction booklet shows 4:

  Agreed. As a database engineer as my non-LEGO job, you realize how important
it is to name things so that they sort where you would expect them to be. Other
wise end users either cannot find what they are looking for, or end up creating
another entry (say, a custom item in this case) for it because they think it
does not exist.

Funnily enough, I am a database engineer too!

Would it not have been better to be "NAME (Big Figure)" so that they still appear

to find them easier
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1177545

I've just stumbled across this again so apologies for the reply to a post
from April!

In some ways this change has made it harder to find them; for example if you
look at the list of all Star Wars figures and order by "Item NAME", Jabba appears
under "B" rather than "J". I'm sure most people would expect it to be under
"J". This irks me no end!

Can the big figure item names not be changed to be the other way round as suggested
e.g. "Jabba - Big Figure" then they would still be searchable by the term "big
figure" AND appear in the right order in the catalog list so everyone's happy.

Thanks for your consideration.

anything more recent

many thanks

I believe this is the most recent publication of such things but won't contain
the most recent figures from late 2019 onwards and is quite selective so not
a complete referece by any stretch.
