| Fortunately not, but we have had rain, hail and strong winds all night.
The hail was bad yesterday too, white mats of hail around for some time.

So far, would you say i can expect a good night coming over here?!

It’s 9:53pm or 21:53pm here in the U.K.
Watching the TV, looking at products in the U.K. from the past, some still around
others disappeared, very nostalgic.

in the south west ( Cornwall ), it’s not listed as a possible vantage point here

Seen some good ones in the past ( old ).

I live in the US and we have a total solar eclipse coming up on April 8th.
Totality is supposed to last almost four and a half minutes.
I just looked at the UK and it appears you will see a partial eclipse.
It'll look like the moon is taking a bite out of the sun
Don't forget to order your shade 14 glasses, so you can view the eclipse
directly.

| Really strange how so many people believe there is so much fake Lego out there
with Lego logo.
Seems that we have these questions or statements most weeks, sometimes more than
once a week.
Op : Other markings underneath will usually be part number / mould number and
position in mould / copyright / pat pending / pending Pat / both the previous
two obscured etc.
However, better to ask if unsure.

Real. If it has the lego lego it’s real. Some parts don’t have the part number
and some don’t have the logo and some have neither but if it has the logo it’s
real

This is the first time this has happened to me in a lot of orders on here.
I ordered what was supposed to be new Lego pieces.
I received used Lepin or other off-brand pieces. One stud on each piece is indented
where the Lego logo would go.
These people should not be allowed to operate on here. Go sell that junk on

| Hi and thanks.
However I was referring to these discussions elsewhere regarding Lepin.
I believe there was an extensive discussion regarding fake logo bricks on here
where the outcome was that Lego confirmed they were real and not faked Logo bricks.
Lepin may not have been mentioned at the time but clone bricks with Lego logo
were questioned and if I remember correctly someone made an effort to discredit
the so called evidence by asking Lego themselves to examine them.
I may have this confused with another discussion but I don’t think so, someone
please correct me if I’m wrong.

I don't wanna burst your bubble but that is counterfeit. I have seen them
come up a lot in my unsorted lots. They are LEPIN used in their rip off of some
of the Harry Potter sets. If you check I doubt you will find part numbers on
the bottom but they will probably still have a logo but it will likely be rounded
off or smoother. They are likely still printing them from stolen molds that
were supposed to have been destroyed. Another give away is the color mixing of
Bley and Tan which was common of their HP knock offs. I find this a lot in lots
of bulk parts I buy on auctions. Another common version has Red and Dark-Red
marbling also usually with worn logos but no part numbers.

The items arrived and i could tell straight away that the strings were not Lego,

it was a generic replacement, so off a spool of some description.
So my question, do we sell fake none Lego on this site, no matter what it is?

Is it possible to get Lego parts in other colours than I could find by Lego?

1 x 766c96 light grey.
Can this be accepted as an alternative part entry for the wires ?

I can confirm that I had a sealed set as the inventory shows now (opened and
confirmed in 2011), but I also opened a sealed set in 2019 that has the two different

I got my first Neutral Feedback without any justification.
The buyer made the order at 17.2, I shipped it at 18.2 and he received it at
21.2
Although it took less then a week and although the Israeli PO is not under my

Everything I asked for arrived, even the used one feels like new but the shipping
time takes quite a long time
I submitted Feedback Removal Request.
My questions are:
1. What to expect? The feedback will be cancel?
2. How long does it take normally?

On the 1 x 6 bricks without Bottom Tubes, with cross supports. Item # crssprt02
The studs have the old style script along with the modern style.
Anyone else see this? I only have 5 of them and the are all that way, so I'm
