It's going to be a lot easier to get repeats. Maybe the value of full sets
and opened characters will be higher. Any thoughts?

I don't care, as I've nearly always opened them. And now they are essentially
random, it makes it harder for sellers to strip a store of the popular figures
by feeling them, leaving the less popular ones behind. So it is a good move from
that point of view. Not so good if you only want a specific figure, but at least
now these are essentially random as intended.

| | Yeah, that's how my siblings and I felt, until we got three Jays and 2 Garmodons. So frustrating.

They have been equally distributed for some time now. Sealed cartons contain
three sets. So if you are first to a box, then then each character should be
evenly distributed. Whereas if you get to a box where someone has weighed them,
there is a possibility that someone has removed popular ones for resale or
their collection. That is less likely to happen now there is a more significant
barrier compared to the feeling approach of identifying them.

I still miss the first two series, where you could memorise the barcode pattern
and get what you want.

I think I still have the Spartan's barcode encoded in my brain. The same
with the bump codes for S3 onwards.

With box weights, I suppose I'll have to go and find a scale to lug around.
Great, more excess baggage I have to cart around to find that one last minifigure
I'm after!

| Yes, it was a bit frustrating. I found 10 different packet codes in a fresh
Marvel series 2 box, so I bought those. I ended up with 2 of Storm and 2 of
Goliath. I was hoping this method would yield 10 different figures out of 12.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a scale with me at the time and I was out of
town, so I have to wait until they stock the figures locally.

I already counted all pieces, took pictures, uploaded them, created the new part

waiting for their approval). I just wanna know the usual delay time of the process.
The set is: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=6469488-1#T=S&O={%22ss%22:%22MX%22,%22rpp%22:%22500%22,%22iconly%22:0}

New items can take a while to get added as there is always a massive backlog
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPend.asp
So bricklink prioritizes new sets that people will be more likely to part out
and similar and since a whole bunch of lego sets were just released with the
June wave it can take a while to get to old requests. Bricklink likes to prioritize
the ones that provide the most commercial benefit first they work on the other
ones as they have time since there are only a limited number of people who are
working behind the scenes

Makes sense, lets see how long it takes them to approve this obscure one, thanks!

Brickset is a great resource for looking at the LEGO data for inventories. The
new yellow color is Neon Yellow. Search for the 7-digit code printed in the instruction

Please, let's keep this logical. The instruction manuals are getting larger
and larger due to adding less and less parts on each step of the build. If they
were really concerned about an ink issue, the instruction manuals would be getting
smaller or removed entirely.
As far as saving the planet, everything they make is made of plastic. And they
are making more and more of it each year, not less. Companies and capitalism
are fundamentally juxtaposed to saving the planet, because the end goal is to
take as much as you can and grow, grow, grow. That dynamic is never going to
change.

I can one up you:
Have a look through the instruction manuals for sets released this year:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?q=&catType=I&catID=&itemYear=2023
This is the new style for all instruction books. I think they look absolutely
awful now.
|
And they don't even put the set number on the instructions for 18+ sets.
I find that very annoying.

+1. This really irks me, too.

| I heard it was so the ink doesn’t rub off on the new paper bags. But I don’t
know if that is true.

“You’ll notice newer Building Instructions have a simpler look, giving more focus
on the model about to be built. Some booklets will also come in an envelope,
and we’re working on an even more sustainable solution!”

You are probably right there. The boxes still need to look good, but instructions
don't matter so much as the consumer has already bought it.
Although I actually prefer images where it is just the product shown, and it
is clear what is in the set. Same with boxes, I like the black ones but I know
I'm in the minority there.

Yeah, right. There are LOADS of black boxes in the +18/Technic range
That Batman instruction really looks like a cheap knock-off product!
TERRIBLE!!
