It would be nice if StudIO had open multiple windows as a standard feature. Using
multiple viewports gets annoying as it has to split the screen multiple times.
My experience with StudIO has been that i need to have StudIO open on both screens
instead of clicking tabs switching back and forth.

BrickStore price guide question

Viewed:

Topic:

The price guide in BrickStore is now in a SQLite file. In the past I would would
gather all of the txt files and accumulate them into one price guide file to
assist in determining my item prices.

Doing limited research I have been able to open the SQLite file but cannot access
the price guide data. Does anyone have suggestions on what to use to export
the data from the SQLite file?

From my research there appear to be many options but I can't find the "SQLite
for Dummies" version of how to do export the data.

Thank you,

Windows 7 to 10! Done! Yay! CONTEST ;-)

Topic:

Contests

Eventually and after 6+ months of preparation and testing, and a Stack Overflow
question of a really tough problem... this PC's migrated (few days ago) on
Windows 10!

Hopefully they'll cut us some slack... because Windows 10 support is supposed
to end in 2025 - that's almost next year

Fun fact, I still have a VM with the exact initial Windows XP I used when I registered
BrickLink

To share this event, I'm making a casual contest on forum: find the answer
and get 50€ of FREE order + its up to 500g FREE shipping, worldwide!

Double question:

* Which was the name of the very first Application (apart Windows itself,
D'oh) installed on my now obsolete PC Windows 7?

* As more than one person may find the name, please also give the date
(day/month if possible, or clearly differentiating) when this application
was installed in 2014...

Contest's opened from now on, until it closes on BrickLink EST date: Saturday,
Dec 23, 2023 00:00 EST

It's a bit more than 2 days only.

Rules (TL;DR):
* replies must be public, posted on Forum only - I may or not reply or comment
the posts
* 1 (ONE) reply per BrickLink member. You can cancel one/some and post a new.
But more than 1 will exclude all your replies
* winner is the one to give the correct application name, and (if few have) the
closest installation date (measure in days to this specific date)
* an application name, even a bit approximative is required: it shouldn't
consist of or contain abbreviation(s)
* the installation date should be CLEARLY differentiating day/month, if not like
03/04, I'll interpret it as day/month (yeah, French style)
* as a proof, I will post the screen copy of the Windows settings showing the
first installed apps in chronological order, showing the dates of course
* the price is an order credit in our shop for 50€ + 500g shipping cost to your
Country
* sorry, but no member's account with 0 (ZERO) Feedback Profile, or double
account (if we can be aware of)
* you will have to use our "Invoice me manually" Shipping Method so I
can credit the amount, and mention the contest in message so I know it's
you
* no heavy things like Baseplates, Duplo, Instructions..., this is supposed to
be casual - and avoid 100+ lots for the same reason
* you're of course welcome to order for more, in this case I'll credit
you the 50€ + 500g shipping price to your Country
* if your order's below the offered price, we will NOT send a payment of
the difference (it's like a Coupon if you wish)
* if your order's above, we may offer you the difference, or have to invoice
you the extra (depending multiple factors)...
* because contest will end before Xmas and we're overloaded, please don't
expect a quick shipping, especially for high number of lots
* tracking may or may not be provided or available depending too many factors
like Country, size, weight...

Note: Admins, Mods and even Pizza fans are (gladly!) accepted (but adults - which
may exclude some Pizza fans, LOL...)
See how I'm happy!

Good luck.

Rotation question

I am working on a model studio using a few of the old arm parts. My question
is about the arm connector brick 791c01 or c02. I remember that the fingers
rotate in the brick so you can move arm up and down, not just right and left.
In studio, the default direction is horizontal to the brick. Is there a way
to rotate this fingers, I don't see a hinge direction for it. Or am I totally
misremembering that these rotate. Thanks in advance

Corrupting files

Viewed:

119 times

Topic:

So this has happened 3 times already within, oh say, the past 3 months. Lego
Studio keeps corrupting my files. I'll open it sometimes and when I do, the
previously opened files in the little explorer don't show up. When I click
on the file, it will just say parsing and if it does get past that, nothing shows
up.

I've tried unzipping the file, but if I right click on it, the wheel spins
and file explorer crashes (I have to restart my computer forcefully). I don't
know if it's because there is a part conflict and because the file is so
large (14,000 pieces) it just won't open.

What's going on here? I love this program, but at this point I don't
want to use it anymore. I have plans on making even larger models, but not if
lego studio is going to gobble them up.

Are there any programs that can help me look at the ldraw files inside?

How do I export an image as a PNG?

I want to export an image I created in Studio. The following article explains
how this is done:

https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/5628123432215-Exporting-Instructions

However, the instructions here do not at all match the software I have downloaded.
According to the instructions, there should be a green button named "Export".
However, in my program there is "SIGN IN", "Add to wanted list"
and "Upload to MyStudio" in the top right.

I am using Studio version 2.23.11 (1)

This is the latest release, not the latest stable. The reason I am not using
the latest stable release is that would not start on my Macbook. I have Sonoma
14.2, so the OS version should not be a problem.

Off Topic - Switched from Windows to Linux

Viewed:

64 times

Topic:

I'm a systems engineer and I like to solve problems so I decided to give
it a try. So far, it's been good, although the one thing many Windows users
would need to get acquainted to is the notion that even on Ubuntu-based distros,
the OS doesn't entirely hold the user's hand and do things for them the
way Windows would. Installing Nvidia drivers for your 3080Ti is one example,
configuring some games in Wine to run in Linux is another. You have to get used
to using the command-line, which in my opinion is great for installing packages
from remote repositories.

I dig it. Proton runs many of the Steams games I like to play fairly well and
it's good that there's a site to check how well a game will run out there.
The challenge of figuring out a new OS is fun too, and I may try creating a copy
of Arch from scratch eventually when I'm more confident with Linux.

The only complaint I have so far, and granted I have not tried in a while, is
getting Bricklink Studio to run using Wine. There's a step in the installation
requiring you to restart your computer and the last time I tried installing it
didn't fare so well. Native Linux support would be super nice unless I'm
blind and it's offered already.

5000 feedback - Time to Introduce Myself

Viewed:

186 times

Topic:

We recently received our 5000th feedback and upgraded to the orange brick! We've
been at this purposely since 2019 and have shipped out 8754 orders. We have no
social media presence, no advertising etc. and have pretty much lived in the
shadows but I'd like to introduce myself and my store and get to know everyone
a little better and become a bigger part of this amazing community.

My name is Mike, I am located in southwest Missouri, and my full-time gig is
a high school teacher. My wife handles most all of the picking and shipping and
a lot of the listing of new inventory. This store allows her to be a stay at
home mom, put in a couple of hours of work each day and then attend to the rest
of her obligations. I have three young children who also help out with picking
orders and things like minifigure identification.

My store's name is 0 to 60 #fastestshipping, and obviously that fastest shipping
claim is self-appointed. There may be stores that get packages out faster than
we do but there can't be many. We ship everything same day or next day for
orders that come in overnight. USPS does a good job from my location and a majority
of packages will reach their destination within 48 hours of ordering (I haven't
done a study with USPS Ground Advantage to see if that has slowed down from First-Class).
I am really proud of my storage system and the speed of which it allows us to
pull pieces. I store my inventory in 440 wooden drawers 24"x24"x2.5"
which I made out of recycled pallet and shipping box lumber (see picture).

My prices are quite high. This is a second job for me and a part-time job for
my wife, so we try to keep things manageable. We average around 6 orders a day
/ around 270 pieces a day / around 70 lots per day. With our current structure
my wife can spend a couple of hours per day getting the orders out and adding
200/300 pieces to our inventory so our store can maintain its current size. If
our prices were lower I'm afraid we'd have a hard time keeping up. Finding
that correct balance has been the most interesting part of this whole journey.

I'm sure this is more than you cared to know about us but thanks to this
community for everything and nice to meet you all!

I hope this Lego related post is allowed even if it concerns parts from another
supplier.

I am in the process of building the Lego Creator Expert 10258 London Bus to give
as a gift to someone who drove a bus in London for almost 30 years but is now
retiring.

The bus is almost finished and looks good in itself, but I realize that a lighting
kit would have been the detail that makes the work even more perfect.

Have searched a bit and found different options.
Does anyone have experience with the various kits on the market?
Does the quality differ between different brands?
Are some brands easier to install than others?
Other opinions?

The brands I found that seem serious are:

Brick Seller App - New Order Charts/Graphs

Viewed:

Topic:

I have just release a new feature to Brick Seller that allows you to visualize
your Order data in several Charts/Graphs.

There is a new Charts tab under the main Orders tab containing a dropdown
list to select one of the following:

Monthly Sales
Monthly Sales by Marketplace (BrickLink and Brick Owl)
Monthly Sales by Item Type
Monthly Sales by Condition

These 4 show one bar chart with past 13 months $ amount sold and one bar chart
with past 13 months quantity sold.

Past 12 Months Sales Amount by Marketplace
Past 12 Months Sales Quantity by Marketplace
Past 12 Months Sales Amount by Item Type
Past 12 Months Sales Quantity by Item Type
Past 12 Months Sales Amount by Condition
Past 12 Months Sales Quantity by Condition
Past 12 Months Sales Amount by Category
Past 12 Months Sales Quantity by Category
Past 12 Months Sales Amount by Color
Past 12 Months Sales Quantity by Color

These show one Pie Chart and one Bar chart. By Category and Color show top 10
individually and the rest grouped in "Other".

Some example screen shots attached.

If you are not familiar with Brick Seller, you can find a link to it on the BrickLink
Inventory Software links page here: https://www.bricklink.com/links.asp?catID=9

...and I still don't really like bley or reddish-brown.

Pirate ships look like they are made of milk chocolate, and the stone walls of
castles look like they are polished daily.

The old colors provided a bit of a nice weathered look. Less toy-like, if you
will.

However, I will say the new colors work well with Star Wars (except the Falcon,
which should look weathered) and I think that was likely the priority when the
change was made. So, mission accomplished.

Still, it would have been nice if they had asked the community for input first.
It just showed up in packages without any real mention ahead of time, IIRC. However,
the online community was in its early stages back then, so maybe that's why.

So as part of my college final year project, I had the idea to make an app that
basically compares the value of pieces from a pick-a-brick wall to Bricklink.

I was originally going to use Bricklink's API to get data like part ID, weight,
dimensions average sold price, etc. However, I was told by the Bricklink support
team that they only offer the API to Bricklink sellers for use in their Bricklink
stores.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a way where I can get data like this from
somewhere else? Any help is greatly appreciated!

A couple of weeks back I purchased something off eBay (non LEGO). The listing
said shipping was $15 (which I knew was from zone 7, and sounded roughly correct).
The package arrived today, sent via Ground Advantage, and marked as 15.9 oz.
Before I opened it, I dropped it on my scale … 3-lbs + 2 -oz.

To me, that is just egregious. Being off half an ounce I might understand, but
the seller wanted to maximize their profit. Hopefully, USPS APV picked it up
and charged them for the difference.

Why I sell on Bricklink...

1.) I love LEGO and have since I was a kid,
2.) I love my family am trying to save up as much as I can for their future...

This is my daughter, Brielle, who is a Senior in High School. Brielle was recently
recognized as a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist. If she is awarded the
scholarship it will help to defray some of the cost of college, but not nearly
enough. She is applying to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for early
decision.

Today, is October 1st, the first day that students can apply for college financial
aid. While other High School Seniors are sleeping in late into the morning,
she was up and applying for financial aid.

I sell LEGO for Brielle and the rest of my family as my public servant job will
only go so far to help fulfill her ambition and dreams.

Nice find in Kmart today.

I was browsing the LEGO aisle at Kmart today where I live in Australia, and found
this with a dent in one corner of the box:

10788-1 (Inv) Gabby's Dollhouse
488 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2023
Sets: Gabby's Dollhouse

I got it home and finally opened it up, expecting to find missing bags. It had
9 numbered bags and 2 extra bags containing large parts. Does anyone know if
there's any way to view the bags contained in a set?

To my surprise all of the bags appear to be there. None of them seemed to be
missing any pieces.

I paid full price - AUD $115 - for it not knowing what to expect, but apparently
all it got was a corner of the outer cardboard box dented.

It was a pleasantly nice surprise, sometimes you have no idea what you're
going to get in a box that's damaged.

I'll probably build it later in September and see if it's really all
there, the envelope for the instructions and any sticker it might have is intact,
so I should be easily able to tell if it's complete or not.

Cheers ...

I'm pulling my hair out trying to work out what i've done to cause this.

When adding sets or minifigures i don't have this issue at all but for parts
i do.

I'm sure it's probably a really simple fix but i can;t seem to work it
out

You'll notice the add button is greyed out.
