  Hello,

I spent £25 on an order which is a fair bit of money to me, and never received
the item or any communication from the seller on this website or given email
address. I was advised on here to open a case with PayPal as they will handle
everything, but they closed the case in favour of the seller.

Again no communication from the seller and PayPal won't give me any information,
their response was for me to go small claims court in my county??? PayPal won't
let me reopen the case.

Has anyone else encountered this? My understanding is PayPal would be useful
and help in these scenarios, but this just totally now feels like I have been
scammed on bricklink despite using the recommended channels and methods.

Anyone have advice for me here?

Have you opened an NSS case on the 'report problem' link on the order
page?

You paid for an order and have not received it (nor received a refund) so that
may help get the seller's attention and to get them to communicate with you.

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=110

In addition I note this seller only offers inpost lockers as a delivery option
in the UK.

I don't know how that works for paypal and proof of delivery but how can
they as a seller prove to paypal it was you who collected it? What's to stop
the seller shipping to their local inpost locker then collecting it themselves?

That as a sole delivery is fishy IMO.

I would also try and speak to someone at paypal - they can be more responsive
on the phone in person rather than just via their automated online processes.

  Concerning part x1042b [Brick, Round Corner 4 x 2 Macaroni Double with Stud Notches],
should red and trans-clear be included as known colors? I personally possess
the trans-clear variant, and I have noticed that images for both color versions
are already available.

As Stuart said the 'known colors' list is populated from the part appearing
in sets.

So I'm afraid there is noting we can do to fix this.

Thanks,
Paul.

  Heads 3626bpb0844 and 3626cpb0844 are actually two different heads. Not just

but head 3626bpb0844 is actually medium blue.

It could just appear that way over the black and printed in a different factory
for the blister pack?

I suspect both are supposed to look the same even if the result is different.

Having said that these 2 heads will be merged soon unless action is taken to
differentiate them.

Jen I don't suppose you still have the blister pack around do you? We need
to be sure it's really medium blue and save it or at least add a note to
the entry explaining a variation in color.

Thanks,
Paul.

Hey!

I've got the blocked stud
 
Minifig No: njo082  Name: Stone Army Scout - Blue Face, Red Quiver, Short Legs
* 
njo082 (Inv) Stone Army Scout - Blue Face, Red Quiver, Short Legs
Minifigures: NINJAGO: The Final Battle
from
 
Set No: 850632  Name: Ninjago Battle Pack blister pack
* 
850632-1 (Inv) Ninjago Battle Pack blister pack
16 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2013
Sets: NINJAGO: (Other)
and the hollow stud
 
Minifig No: njo077  Name: Stone Army Swordsman - Blue Face
* 
njo077 (Inv) Stone Army Swordsman - Blue Face
Minifigures: NINJAGO: The Final Battle
from
 
Set No: 70502  Name: Cole's Earth Driller
* 
70502-1 (Inv) Cole's Earth Driller
162 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2013
Sets: NINJAGO: The Final Battle

They are, in fact, noticeably different. What's the plan??
~Jen

Oh so fast.

Is it an exact match to medium blue?

If so and if there is really such a clear distinction I think 2 new entries are
needed (with different pb numbers so they don't get merged).

It's not safe to edit the existing entries because I bet there are a lot
of sellers with the wrong stud type so just changing the color on 3626bpb0844
will lead to wrong listings where if people want the edited medium blue version
they will be disappointed.

Thanks as always,
Paul.

p.s.

LEGO Data online and in printed instructions both show:

PCC 6029715 in 850632
PCC 6017976 in 70502, 70504, 70505

  sw0418 Has a variant mold. Blocked open stud exists as well as Hollow stud. Please
add variant option as related item.

Since the stud version will cease to be relevant on Bricklink shortly I have
discarded this request.

Thanks,
Paul.

  Is this the right place to add information to a catalogue item? If not, please
let me know.
Anyway I've got some interesting insights on this item, and maybe it could
be added to the catalogue.

Recently I bought the Set 4000001-1 (Moulding Machines). My set is not one of
the 68 items but one of 60.

This is the information I got from the seller:
x/68 sets were given to participants of the Lego Inside Tour.
x/60 have been a present to executives and special employees (that helped building
the mexican factory) of Lego.

I can send more proof to admins if necessary.
Please understand that I have to black out the number. The seller is otherwise
clearly identifiable.

Thanks - a note has been added to the catalog entry.

Paul.

  Hello!

I've submitted a new minifigure, hp466 with the correct legs on the Harry
Potter figure that comes with the book, b23hp08. I used my own copy to provide
the images. Since I can't suggest the inventory change until the new minifigure
is approved, I figured here would be the best place to provide proof that a new
minifigure listing is necessary. See the attached images.

Thanks!

As Josh has pointed out there is a specific page showing how to build them which
is how they already appear in the catalog.

The image you show should just be considered an error.

Thanks,
Paul.

  However, looking at the instructions for the sets this figure comes from, it's
the picture that's wrong - the arms are attached upside-down. I can take
a picture and submit one for this minifigure

That would be great thanks for noticing.

  but there are others

I fixed the one below using an archived image (hard refresh will be needed) but
we have no alternative images for the rest.


  one upside-down, one normal:
 
Minifig No: lom010  Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Pollux
* 
lom010 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Pollux
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars


As we can't do anything else here I have marked this as completed.

Thanks,
Paul.
