  NEW RARE MINIFIGURES (including rebels ahsoka!)ON MY STORE AT COMPETITIVE PRICES
*offers welcome*

You mean sought after minifigures…(as an art lover I think almost no Lego item
is rare with the exception of very few items).

Nice selection of minifigs.
There is something you might consider to change, Vgc is something you mention
with used and new minifigs.
With new it looks like they may well have been used or slightly damaged.

  Someone on another forum claimed that (despite what Brickset, Bricklink and Rebrickable
list it as) that Rock Raiders is actually a space theme and cited this from the
Rock Raiders video game:

So is Rock Raiders a space theme or not?

Let’s not go there.
If it is your goal to put them into the ‘space’ section I would be against it,
if RR goes in other may well be following too and cumulate inside an already
large categorie.
Split categories work better in my opinion, better than subcategories.
I already think the ‘space’ section should be smaller with more having their
own categorie.

  Buyer replies: "Money is a bit tight at the moment."

Ofcourse I will cancel with a full refund, but pretty odd situation...

Instead of posting, you should be happy 11€ not being a problem to you.

It might be one of your ‘funny’ moments but you are not 100% sure it is for him
as a seller.

Also he will loose time and some unnecessary money with this transaction.

Sometimes you need to know when not to response on forumpost, I think this is
one of them.
And if you feel the urge to respond you could also say something like ‘good for
you for the order cancel in this case’.

  Are there different Comander Cody helmet prints in the same sets?

Set: 75337

Minifigure: sw1233 Clone Trooper Commander Cody, 212th Attack Battalion (Phase
2)

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2019pb01&idColor=1

Is this a misprint or are there simply different vertical helmet prints?
Take a look at the pictures.

Bei einem verlaufen sie gerade bei dem anderen leicht gebogen.

Thank you,
Henk from StoneSlayerShop

Did this alternate one come out of a genuine sealed LEGO box? Have you checked
for the logo?

I saw the same from the Lego battlepack, the pictures look different compared
to reality.

  I got this bag in a lot.

Looks like pha007? but i doubt it is from the set 7327

Was this sold seperately?

I try to go to as many fleamarkets etc as possible and the fake Lego minifigs,
like these, are almost always packed in this way. Torso, legs and head connected,
arms and hands unassembled.
So to me this minifig is a fake.

#037 still unopened in box I bought for my son and he doesn't want it anymore
and I am unable to return it.I just want to sell it .I've tried offer up
and let go with no potential buyer's.I am not sure how to sell on this site
.I need one positive feedback from buying something ?But I don't want to
buy anything here. Any ideas on how to go about this?

I you only have 1 set there is a very large chance buyers won’t even look at
your shop.
Isn’t there something like Craigslist or Whatnot that you can sell it on?

  Hello,

does anybody of you know this torso or minifugure?

Many thanks

Andi

It doesn't look genuine to me. See the nick on the lower arm? Also the neck
and the hands look wrong.

--Claude

Hello Claude,

I am very curious about your thoughts regarding the neck. Why do you think it
is wrong?
Too long or…?

  I live in Turkey and paypal payment is not available in Turkey. For this reason,
I cannot shop on your site. My orders are being canceled because I cannot pay.
I am very victimized. Please help me.

I think there are 2 (sort of) organisations that might be involved, Bricklink
isn’t one of them.
So help needs to come from a different angle.

  I have a package with lego.com now and now that I know they UPS this will probably
be my last. They have the worst customer service and the absolute worst drivers.
I will take FedEx over UPS all the time

Our Dutch Lego parcels are delivered by DPD but it is Lego that packs them in
Vilvoorde Belgium.
The outer box has about 50% leftover space, is quite thinly cardboard etc.
So I can’t blame the shipper, it is Lego that is to blame.

  Sorry to heard this, having exactly the same issues with my last 10 shipments
from TLG, all sets have either dents or are totally damaged.

Have reported this several times, seems quality of the packaging is no longer
one of their concerns, it needs to be green and cheap for them. As a compensation
I've 100 VIP points for all those shipments.

Same with me although they gave me some more.

  
My last parcel was completely destroyed as Adhesive tape used is a very cheap,
with water-based glue and recyclable paper and is 100% recyclable, so very "green".
But the challenge is that it doesn't hold the parcel properly.

I had an answer from Lego by email about 2 weeks ago with a different order,
they mentioned they are looking for a better way to pack the Lego and still have
less impact on the environment.
Here the Dutch text:

De problemen met beschadigingen die ontstaan door sets die over elkaar heen schuiven
zijn bij ons bekend. Om het milieu te ontzien is ervoor gekozen om geen grote
hoeveelheden extra verpakkingsmaterialen te gebruiken. Dit heeft helaas tot gevolg
dat sets beschadigd kunnen raken. Momenteel worden er verpakkingsmachines getest
die een verpakking produceren die exact om de sets heen pakken, en met succes.
Het zal echter nog wel even duren voor dit overal breed kan worden ingezet.

  
If this continues, I will only buy from BL or BO then.

I had to send a few of the most badly damaged sets back to Belgium where they
have a storage centre.
No problem at all with this but I did had to e-mail them with their request to
pack it in the best possible way to avoid damage.
You do understand I had the need to call them to ask them how they dare to ask
this to a customer.
And yes, I packed them carefully in bubblewrap like they should have done.
Due to the fact they have an uncommon postal service I had to make a small cardrive
to deliver it.
