Sunshine, comes to mind. It really can make you feel good! Especially after it's
been gone a few weeks, replaced with rain and overcast skies. A very chilly but
sunshiny workout day, finally. Don’t mind the cold at all if I can have the strong
sun's rays on my face
Across the Puget sound there, you can make out the Olympic Mountain range clearly
today. Though maybe not so much with the pic file reduction It's very picturesque
within that range, and consequently there have been several film and TV productions
shot therein over the years, Twilight films among them.
Have a wonderful day

| Found this today under a section called Smoking supplies.
Also the 1 at the end of the item name implies that there may be more related
items
What was LEGO thinking when they branded this??

| Earlier today, I randomly decided to ask AI to create a Ninjago set with the
prompt
"choose a location from the Lego Ninjago universe and create a description
of a custom lego set of that location"
Now, I did this many months ago when Copilot, GPT, and other AI services were
becoming more well known-but could not get the AI to give me a satisfactory set.
No matter what prompt I put after, whether it be "Choose a location not done
before" or "Don't just reuse set descriptions" it wouldn't
listen to me and kept giving me things like "Ghost Attack: The Caves of Despair"
Now, however...
I gave the AI the same prompt, and on first attempt it gave me a generic entry
called "Lego Ninjago Monastery: Guardians of the Golden Weapons"
I then asked it "Can you choose a location not done before as an actual Lego
set", remembering what had happened last time I did that and kinda laughing
inside.
What it gave me surprised me, however. Quote,
Certainly! Let's explore a unique and uncharted location from the **Ninjago
universe** and create an exciting LEGO set:
---

magical underground world, discover glowing treasures, and unravel the mysteries
of Lumina's elemental powers. Get ready for an adventure like never before!
🧱💎
I honestly am surprised at the AI's use of such a random character-it has
improved much on the old searches from months ago. Kinda scary, but pretty cool,
too.

| Please consider merging all parts with at least one stud. If you need a list,
please let me know. Listing more than one part that has studs seems redundant
to me. If this goes through i have some other suggestions:
Merge all bionicle parts with hero factory
Merge all cheese slopes with pizza tiles
Merge black with white
And there is more where that came from.
If you like this idea, please vote yes.
Sarcasm is the best offense!

| I think this is the first time I've seen a pcc that is the same as the base
number for the part and was curious if this was an accident or if its actually
the PCC.
the pcc for

add catalog image button it has to be done manually for some reason?)

Godrick, helga and Salazar have the same background shape (even the special dumbledore
one.)

| Author: | ToastBubbles | | Posted: | Feb 12, 2024 14:29 | | Subject: | Bricklink Chrome Extension | | Viewed: | 164 times | | Topic: | Related Software | |
| So I made a Google Chrome extension to make packing orders a tad easier, it adds
a checkbox to each item on an order that when clicked, will strikethrough and
grey-out the entry, it also has optional settings to highlight New parts and
Used Parts, as well as highlighting Quantity greater than 1. Also works to inventory
received orders.
On top of that, I also added a search field to the My Collection page to search
through your collection (why isn't there one already??).
And lastly, tracking numbers on the order page now have hyperlinks to view tracking
data on the USPS website (sorry international users, haven't made a way to
select other services yet).
This extension was made for myself, but I thought it was pretty neat, so I decided
to publish it, hopefully someone else can get some utility out of it. And if
anyone thinks of any additional features, feel free to reach out, I really enjoy
working on projects like this, so I don't mind working on it further.

| Please forgive me if this is in the wrong topic, I couldn't figure out where
it belongs.
In Studio, part 3044c is connecting wrong. The bottom connectors are positioning
the piece one brick too low.
If there is somewhere else, I should be reporting this issue to, please let me
know. I'd submit a fix, but I'm still learning how to use PartDesigner.

| I'd like the "1:1" text for scale, in the size guide, to be optional.
Please enable us to be able to turn it off, just like we can turn off the length.
People can print on larger pages and the scale wont be 1:1 anyway.
It is unnecessary in my opinion and should be optional to display.

| I am having an issue where Studio keeps deleting my steps. I have several thousand
part build, and I am noticing that steps are being deleted and all the parts
are being pushed into different step.
Example, I have 1) left leg, 2) right leg, 3) body.
I open the file, and have 1) left leg, 2) body. Body has both the body parts,
and the right leg parts.
Any help would be appreciated.
(alternatively, is there a confirmation to delete something? if I'm at fault
somehow, maybe I can enable that to see what I'm doing)

| Hi All,
Question for bricksync users!
Just added about 200 lots to my bricklink inventory and then open bricksync to
update the inventory on brickowl too, and I run the command `sync` on bricksync
and I realised it just matched my bricklink inventory with the Brickowl and just
deleted all my new added lots!
I know all I had to do was bLmaster on/off but I don't know WHY I did a sync
command!
Is there any way I can recover those lots without adding them manually again?
I don's use any backup software, was wondering if I can do it through bricklink
or so?
Thank you so much for your answer in advance.

| Hi
I am new to the forum and BL. I have been playing around with setting up an
inventory, for an eventual BL store. I LOVE the Brickognize feature inside
Brickstore. That is sweet!
Yet I dont get a preview image when I set a piece under the camera?!?
I can still hit the space bar to take a photo and Brickognize does its magic
just fine. But I would like to have the preview image appear in the image box.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
I am on a Mac.
Thanks in advance.

| Hello,
I have recently ran across a link on here for BLS Manager software. I have
downloaded it and trying to figure out all the features. Can anyone recommend
any video or instructional links that may help with learning some of the ins
and outs. Specifically can you download and retain ORDERS PLACED and not just
orders received.
Any other software that anyone recommends would be a great help as well.
Currently I have only been using the new version of Brickstock, now called Brickstore
I believe.
Thanks,
Marty
