Now
I don't know whether a seller has to register as a corporation to be considered
a "business".

That’s the usual problem: some like to hide behind “I’m not incorporated” / “I’m
not registered.”
So other criteria are used: buying to resell, number of transactions, gross income….
But all that is local / can only be verified locally.
So, for importations, the rule is simplified to: if it’s not a gift (below such
amount) then it’s business.

(Otherwise, if I were country X, I would say: all the businesses that export
aren’t considered businesses by country X, so they aren’t businesses for any
other country either!)

That being said, I don’t know how the package tax works….

Since January, the Germans have a new law. The "Platform Tax Transparency
Act". It obliges online sales platforms to report all sellers who have either
made more than 30 sales or earned more than 2,000 euros a year. The report is
made in January of the following year. So for the first time in 2024.

These are exclusive sets for Blue Oceans Publishing's LEGO Star Wars magazines.
The sets should have a number on them, e.g. 912055, where 20 is the year of issue
and 55 is the number of the magazine.

Was looking to buy as many as I could from any source/site, within a given price
range, a certain LEGO item...

This particular vendor had sold many (being myself, late to the game) with only
two remaining available to buy within the listing. So I bought the two remaining
and paid the shipping, thinking the price made the shipping cost of the two well
worth it. I then noticed the vendor loaded a further two to the listing with
a one dollar increase each, so I bought them. Again evaluating the costs as within
my range. After which, the vendor loaded another two with a further one dollar
increase in price, and again I bought those.

This pattern repeats itself up to today’s purchase...

Now, all five transactions fall within my targeted acquisition price, so I’m
good. That said, while USPS has made out like a bandit as I hope did the vendor,
if the seller only would have contacted me after the first or second buy and
stated their total inventory and desired price for said inventory, I surely would
have bought all in a single transaction. At the very least, dividing the USPS
and packaging costs between us, buyer and vendor.

Okay, I could have and indeed would have, made the move myself had the item not
been underpriced to begin with. You deal hunters know what I'm talking about

Where does the buyer come from? If he comes from the EU, it is not possible to
pay by IBAN. You need an online payment option so that BL can calculate and collect

Lego 60335 (Train Station)

Yes im sure. The Box size of this set is 53.9 x 28.2 x 11.5 cm
In this size nearly 99% of the sets come in this amount.

4367 Aqua Blue

They have similar packaging to 2001 watches, but all have the date 2000, and
the same set number as a known watch:

[g=4367]

Does anyone know anything about these sets? Are they pre-release prototypes?
I know that *all* watches from that era are a bit obscure, but I'd love to

Have you tried looking through Brickshelf? I found another watch (4376) from
2000 that hasn't been added here. https://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=582581

Looks like it could have some potential candidates for 168 Gun Metallic.

Nice find!! It looks like an early version of this set:

[g=4372]

I haven't found either X-10 or Y-10 yet, but their bezels are aluminum, not
plastic — and not listed as 168

I would say, Set 4370 never exist. It's Set 4376. I never found X-10 with
another Setnumber.

Do you have the watch? Could you put in the change request?

Yes, I own this watch. But I don't make any new entries or changes here anymore.
You can do it yourself. On Brickshelf you can find the corresponding data.

I wonder where Lugnet got their set numbers...

I don't know who made the entry on Lugnet, but comments are ignored there
too. From the errors you can see how all, Bricklink, Lugnet, Peeron and Brickset
copy or have copied from each other without doing their own research.

There are 446 watches listed here on Bricklink. I have found 770 different watches
so far. Where as a collector I consider each order number or box variant as a
separate watch. If I eliminate that, there are still more than 520. How many
watches have you catalogued so far?

Sadly the excessive wait, makes me not want to contribute to the catalog ever
again. I know there is a lot of new sets being added but 6+ months for some figures
to be approved seems outrageous.

As recently as two months ago, we had a backlog of items going all the way back
to February of last year. We are now caught up to November of last year, and
we are trying very hard to get to the rest. If you had submitted the items six
plus months ago, they would be in the catalog by now, so the truth is that you
submitted them earlier than six plus months ago. When I look at the pending items,
you submitted them on November 30, 2022, so they should be one of the next things
that we get to in our process of catching up. By the way, November 30 is about
three and a half months ago.

Cheers,
Randy

A useful starting point for speeding things up and saving a lot of time would
be to import directly the images of new parts from LEGO database. Why reinvent
the wheel and take fresh pictures of everything?

It's pretty easy to tell who hasn't done an inventory or contributed
before.

Yes, you are right. The 6750 set was launched in October 1986.

The Set 880 was classified by TLC as a service pack. That is why it is mentioned
in the collectors guide in the "Service Packs" on page 890 with set number
and year of release.

In Catalog, anathema writes:

Ah, that's interesting

I know there are at least two other errors in
the guide (*), so I'm taking the '2000' date with a pinch of salt.

(*) Set 880 is missing entirely, and it gives a release date of 1987 for set
6750; in fact, this one turned up in 1986.

In Catalog, Dino writes:

In Catalog, anathema writes:

2556-1 (Inv) Ferrari Formula 1 Racing Car
580 Parts, 1998

The catalog states this to have been released in 1997. Most - but not all -
other reference sites have this date; some claim 1998.

The copyright date on the box and the instructions is 1998.

The Collector's Guide

810005 (Inv) Collector's Guide 2nd Edition with Exclusive Key Chain
Books: Informational Book

states it came out in 2000.

Does anyone know which (if any!) of these dates is correct?

I would say 1997 is wrong. If it says 1998 on both, the box and the instructions,
then it is 1998. Unfortunately, I can't verify it because I don't have
either at hand.
The year 2000 mentioned in the collecors guide is a result of the information
from TLC itself.
Both, 1998 and 2000, can be correct. From 1998, this set was available exclusively
from Shell and/or Ferrari as a promotional or sales set, and from 2000, LEGO
sold the remaining stock. However, this set does not appear anywhere in the dealer
catalogs from that time.
Perhaps someone knows more about it. I did buy my sets on Ebay until 2003.

As long as you don't set the order to "Packed", the buyer can add
more parts/set.

Hello,

I just started selling the beginning of the year.
Everything is working fine but now I have a buyer asking if it's possible
to order in multiple batches. Now I have read that this is possible. However
I cant seem to figure out how to activate this option?

Can someone help me please?!

Hallo zusammen,

kennt sich jemand hier im Forum zufällig mit diesen Schildern aus?

Ich habe mir 2 Stk für mein Set 6021 nachbestellt und diese unterschiedlichen
Drucke bekommen.
Gab es bei LEGO tatsächlich solche Unterschiede in der Qualität? Oder gab es
je nach Jahrgang Unterschiede? Sind vlt sogar nicht lizensierte Nachdrucke im
Umlauf?

Vielen Dank im Voraus und viele Grüße

Hi,

I'm curious if set 66647 (Speed Champions Bundle Pack with 75890 75891) was
offered anywhere. I tried to reach Lego support, but they said that product availability
over regions is confidential, and they cannot say where it was offered. I did
not find it also anywhere in online stores. Usually, there are old pages with
sold out stock status, but not for this one.

So, has anyone seen it?

This set was only for the Korean market and was sold there by S@H from about
May 2020 to May 2021.

I live in country "A", and most of the time I order Lego items to an
address found in here. But occasionally, I want to send some Lego to an address
found in country "B", to a relative of mine. When I order, it's possible
to change delivery address in the form, but there I cannot change country. Instead,
I have to mess in the profile menu to change the default address to my relative's
address. (And after the delivery, back to my address). Or another way to do is
to inform the seller to send the Lego items to another address which differs
from what is in the order form. If the seller accidentally omits that information,
(s)he ships that package to me, which I don't want in that case as mentioned
before. And this situation is a nuisanse for both the buyer and seller, and may
lead to unnecessary bad ratings. Please, change this feature.

I voted "yes" because this would actually be easy to do (also tax-wise).
However, there is still the hurdle "Paypal". Each seller is required
to send to the address that is registered with Paypal.

I am sorry but I really don't understand how this can still happen... this

They are opened for 2 years, they have around 30% of neutral and negative feedback
and they are still here ?
Why ?!

Because no 3 buyers opened or completed an NSS?

A family friend is coming to the US for a trade show/convention, and staying

I am just looking for parts, not sets.
Is this acceptable? Can I ask sellers to do that?
She is not an AFOL.
Thank you.

It's not that simple anymore. BL will charge Florida sales tax, which may
then have to be paid again upon entry. In addition, the seller may have to charge
VAT since the goods are not going to the USA but, according to the shipping address,
remain within the EU.

What can I do if he doesn’t give me my money back ??

Give the seller a reasonable period of time until the money must be refunded.
If nothing happens, go to the police and file a complaint for fraud.

When the buyer wants to go to the payment, he can enter the password there.

Check the sales history, if any. Starting with the one on the right

The right one is an other mug.
