| | This mask genuinely keeps me up at night. It shouldn't exist, and yet...
This mask came to me from a guy here in NZ, who owned it since he was a kid.
His parents owned a toy shop in the 2000s, which might be relevant. He claims
he never painted, dyed, or otherwise modified this piece, and sold it to me as
a sundamaged white Hau. I have no clue what it is.
Theory 1: Prototype/Test Tan Hau
Counterpoint: the mask is white underneath, note the small scratches around the
mouth stud showing white plastic.
Theory 2: Sun Damage
Counterpoint: the colouration is perfect. No inconsistency whatsoever, all facets
are equally tan. Coverage is also perfect, even inside the mouth stud, all facets
of the grills, the inside of the mouth hole etc.
Theory 3: Modified white Hau
Counterpoint: sole previous owner is just as confused as I am, and genuinely
believed it was just sun damaged. He had no idea how said damage would have occurred,
he just assumed it was once white and copped some sun.
Help?

What is often called 'sun damage' is not actually caused by the UV light
in sun beams, although might help to speed up the process. It is a chemical change
of the plastic or additives inside the plastic itself and may show throughout
the part. So theory 2 sounds about right.
I see this every day in my kitchen: only a year after buying, my white microwave
started showing a tan front and a white button whilst before they were the same.
Both plastics must have different composition and age differently.

I have a sneaking suspicion that cold temps and/or humidity play a role. I spent
35 years in a hot desert climate, never had a brick change, literally never,
even my childhood bricks from the 70's, never changed,
I moved climates to a cold, wetter place 3 years ago, bricks have been changing
on me left and right, even newly listed ones I remember being white.

Unfortunately Fabuland figs don't disassemble easy, they don't have part
out entries. You'll have to buy a second one to tear apart
I actually just listed a Fabuland fig that's damaged, to be a part out figure,
but hes not the same color you need

| | When re-selling a used set with the instructions included, if they were never
folded originally, is it acceptable to fold them when shipped with the set, or
is that frowned upon? I have some sets with larger instruction booklets, and
while the sets themselves may not take up much space, if I don't fold the
instructions then I would require a much larger box. If I were to fold the instructions
in half, is that something I am expected to disclose in the item listing, or
is folding instructions something that is generally acceptable and does not need
to be indicated?

I sell a lot of instructions.
Its very important to not fold them. In fact you may want to include a backing
board, even if this raises your shipping cost.

If your broke just say it.
I get the distinct feeling that you, and a couple others that post here, seem
to think they know how to run a massive business better than people who actually,
you know, run a massive businesses.
claiming cost of product is too high, and then demands hiring of more labor.
This must be satire.

Yes, this was my experience also. I was able to click on 2 different sets, ignored
the pop-up, and had both in my cart at LEGO.com when I got there.

I just got a message from LEGO telling me my order was confirmed. And then another
that the items were 'Out of Stock'.
Are we going to get one of these every few weeks again like last time??

I got a processing email and now a confirmation, no out of stock email...yet?
lol
