Set No: 70400  Name: Forest Ambush

70400-1 (Inv) Forest Ambush
74 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2013
Sets: Castle

* Delete 3 Part 3794 Tan Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud, Jumper (Undetermined Type) (Alternate) (match ID 1)

Comments from Submitter:
I don’t know how this works but if you think about it, a undetermined type can’t be a alternate item.


This is not how it works.

May I ask how it works? I’m a little confused about undetermined types as alternate
items.

You can learn a lot from reading the change logs:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=70400-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1

Note the dates things were changed and any relevant dates on the parts. You will
find that this part was not undetermined when it was added to the set inventory.
It needs to be resolved just like any other newly undetermined entry.

He told me that it could take 6 months for it to come back. Since it is almost
6 months, I want to check back with him.

I do not believe this is accurate. Any package without movement within 2 months
is considered lost.

Where did you get this 2 month "rule"?

I made it up right there on the spot!

  Can anyone help?

After 6 months of not getting my money back for a refused international package.
(shipping was 50% higher than quoted, so I sent the package back)

You would have known the shipping charges when you paid. Are you talking about
customs fees or taxes? Was there a VAT form attached to your parcel?

  
The seller (Oasis in South Carolina) refused to refund my money until the package
came back to him. There is no detailed tracking on return packages, but it shows
that it came into the USA on October 28th.

He told me that it could take 6 months for it to come back. Since it is almost
6 months, I want to check back with him.

I do not believe this is accurate. Any package without movement within 2 months
is considered lost.

  
All of my prior orders are gone and so are my old messages.

BrickLink purges all non-problem orders after 6 months.
  
I was able to download the order (without much details, but it had the prices).

You would have received a detailed invoice when you made your purchase. Find
it in your email account.
  
Is there a way to get back my messages? Or order? I did not delete these things.

No, but BrickLink messages should also be sent to your email. Have a look!
  

Unless your seller failed to attach the VAT receipt to your order, whatever charges
that occurred were likely not their fault. However, 6 months is a ridiculous
time frame and they should have responded to you by now with either a refund
or a resolution you could both agree to.

Good luck,
~Jen

  I was going through my stock of 1x5 liftarms, and stumbled upon a color I have
not seen before. It is somewhere between Light and Dark bluish grays (middle
part in attached picture). It is not the old grays either. What is it? Bricklink
does NOT list such color. Could it be an off-brand or else?
It dies have the typical mold markings in the small openings (part number etc).

Any thoughts?

Some of the Light Bluish Grays are fading to an odd paler color. (Whether still
sealed in box or not.)

  So either the kid who this collection came from is unusually strong or LEGO is
having some serious quality control issues. I've found more broken parts
in this lot than I've ever seen before. I've got plates and bricks from
30+ years ago that have held up better than these parts from under 7 years ago.

Anyone else seeing an increase in damaged parts from newer bulk used purchases?

I’ve been having a hell of a time lately with new part outs. Mostly with dark
red and red brown. It’s so bad I started a box of rejects that I’ll just fill
up and sell by the pound.

Yeah, I pulled this out of a new sealed set last year!

Source: set used for original inventory.

Just FYI, this set was on display from when it was first inventoried. I just
took it apart and most of the Reddish Brown and Dark Brown splintered and cracked.
The majority of the Light Bluish Gray has also turned the odd yellowish shade.
(Not sun damaged.)

We had clear skies and a great view here in Chicago. Amazing how much light there

  Everyone has a first LEGO set. weather it is a DUPLO train or a handmedown from
your older brother, every one has a memory of his or her first set. First LEGO
set was the 30013-1 Police Quad as a birthday present. I loved taking it apart
and putting it back together again and chasing invisible villains and bringing
them to justice! Then one day our dog got a hold of the police man and chewed
his head off.... Post your first LEGO set below!

I never had LEGO as a kid. The first set I ever worked on was
 
Set No: 7153  Name: Jango Fett's Slave I
* 
7153-1 (Inv) Jango Fett's Slave I
352 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2002
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 2

when I found it mostly built in a bin of loose LEGO from a rummage sale. I was
buying it for my son, but it led me to BrickLink.

The first set I bought just for myself was probably:
 
Set No: 10211  Name: Grand Emporium
* 
10211-1 (Inv) Grand Emporium
2154 Parts, 7 Minifigures, 2010
Sets: Creator: Creator Expert: Modular Buildings Collection

  I have seen quite the spike in "we did not get our package" things.

One guy refused due to VAT
Another said he did not get his package when the track clearly says it was delivered.

No clue.

We have had around 10 of these in the past 3 months.

Maybe it is time to just go domestic?

Your thoughts?

It hasn't been worth shipping to Europe the past decade.

Shipping USPS International is outrageously expensive.

If you ship using Ascendia, the shipping is a bit cheaper, but it is going through
third party, so riskier.

Then Europeans whine about VAT even though they voted for welfare states, so
they want you to lie on customs form, which is a federal crime.

That's quite a stereotype and says more about you than any quantity of Europeans.
In all my time here as a seller, I've had only 2 customers ask for a slightly
lower amount on their forms.

To where problems arrised, mainly?

How do you ship? Tracked? Insured? Bad shipper change shipper?

Do you prefer to lose 100% (not exporting) or lose part of it? Did you calculate
this?

Two right now (today). UK and Belgium.

Tracked, arrived but either refused or just lying. Cannot tell yet but I have
two angry contacts. One is saying "they are not stupid and they will not
pay VAT" the other I have no idea. He may have got it, may have not. He
is all over the place. Either way I am looking to cut off overseas for awhile
to see if that stops this. We are taking hit after hit after hit on the overseas.

For orders with VAT, are you including the digital IOSS number when you purchase
your label?

I definitely agree that it could be worse.

I suspect it was designed to represent what they wanted 'bricklink' to
be: a modern, sleek, user-friendly community.

What it doesn't do is represent what we actually are: complicated, a mash-up
of old and new, and architectural.

And perhaps not a cube with a tiny cylinder hat. At least there is a near-cube
in the LEGO catalog now:

 
Part No: 19729pb004  Name: Minifigure, Head, Modified Cube with Pixelated Black Eyes, Light Bluish Gray Nose, and Black Mouth Pattern (Minecraft Skeleton)
* 
19729pb004 Minifigure, Head, Modified Cube with Pixelated Black Eyes, Light Bluish Gray Nose, and Black Mouth Pattern (Minecraft Skeleton)
Parts: Minifigure, Head, Modified
I'll choose this one for when the sad face icon is needed:
 
Part No: 19729pb059  Name: Minifigure, Head, Modified Cube with Pixelated Bright Light Blue Face, Red Eyes, and Dark Blue Mouth and Brow Pattern (Minecraft Yeti)
* 
19729pb059 Minifigure, Head, Modified Cube with Pixelated Bright Light Blue Face, Red Eyes, and Dark Blue Mouth and Brow Pattern (Minecraft Yeti)
Parts: Minifigure, Head, Modified

Thanks!

  I observe that some parts are regularly offered for exorbitant prices when there
is actually no reason for this.

Take for example this part
 
Part No: 19730  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Helmet Rectangular (Minecraft)
* 
19730 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet Rectangular (Minecraft)
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear {Pearl Gold}

This was previously only available in set
 
Set No: 21127  Name: The Fortress
* 
21127-1 (Inv) The Fortress
959 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2016
Sets: Minecraft
and
 
Set No: 21137  Name: The Mountain Cave
* 
21137-1 (Inv) The Mountain Cave
2822 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2017
Sets: Minecraft

These sets were limited in number and are much sought after.

Since 2024, a new set
 
Set No: 21252  Name: The Armory
* 
21252-1 (Inv) The Armory
196 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2023
Sets: Minecraft
has been available that contains this part.
It can be purchased in any LEGO store or reseller. But I still see that every
new seller of this part bases their price on the original price when this part
was still rare.

This it totally nuts imo.

I'm thinking of parting out 10 sets containing this part and pricing them
at around 50 cents to change the price guide which will force future sellers
of this item to sell this item cheaper.

To the sellers: do you also experience these kinds of crazy things?

You really think sellers are checking the pricing and availability of every item
in a part out? They set it 'just below the 6 months average' and click
the button.

By the way, if everyone keeps doing that, the prices will all hit bottom. Like
every book on amazon costing $.99

You are looking at the wrong logo. See the better one at the bottom of the

Yes, all of this.

Hello,

In my honest opinion, your letter is a bit wordy and goes well past the fundamentals
that a new user would need to be exposed to. Some users may appreciate the information,
some users may wonder why they need to read a wall of text to just order some
LEGO.

Also, it's BrickLink, not Bricklink.

Thanks,
~Jen

  As we all know, getting buyers to reply to messages and/or leave feedback can
be brutal. I don't know if it's just me but my feedback response rate
fell off a cliff around early February. 83 orders and just 35 feedbacks which
drops well below the 60% rate most of us have.

I've had a few buyers with very high feedback numbers but they have left
___ZERO___ for other users. Those people are to far gone, so I decided to try
to tackle the problem with the new users.

I tend to get a lot of buyers with very low scores, so when I recently had a
few zero feedback users place orders, I decided to try something proactive and
drafted up this letter which was included in their package. Of the two I sent
it to so far, both followed the instructions. One even went back and added feedback
for other orders they placed. I sent my third one out today which is what prompted
me to go double check on the other two users.

And I know, I know, "don't worry about your feedback number more than
your feedback rating", but there are people out who see that number first
and assume that with experience comes better service and fewer hassles. It's
also just a few extra keystrokes of extra work to help improve the community
for everyone IMO.

About a week or so ago I changed the image for item 850258 by submitting
the same image, but color-corrected by me. After they eventually did change to
the color-corrected image, it still lists the image submitter as 'Mbsteinekiste'.
It says in the rules that color-corrected images are allowed, but it doesn't
say whether or not they keep the original submitter's username. Is keeping
it on purpose?
Thanks, emmetguy222

(Attached is the ORIGINAL, NON-CORRECTED IMAGE taken by Mbsteinekiste.)

You should not take another submitter's image, edit it, and upload it yourself.
No matter how much it needs editing. If this were possible, there would be no
dust or lint on any image on BrickLink because I would fix it.

You are only allowed free use of the images from LEGO.

Zero out all the fields you entered and submit. Then reenter the data and try

im 99% certain its the light bluish gray version that has the alternate number

as it's practically impossible to tell light gray from light bluish gray
even side by side for the print of this part)
alternate number

(sorry for having multiple requests instead of just 1 but I've got limited
desk room right now as I'm sorting thru lots of larger stickered/printed
parts so i cant leave parts laying around for to long to double check before
posting)

I've come around to the thinking that this part was not split correctly.
I have 2 different shades of 'thin' versions (very subtle) and 'thin'
versions that are the exact same color as 'thick' ones. It's a mess.

From everything I have read here, the merging of 44302a/b was outside of what
the variant merge was intended to do. I don't care whether it was an oversight
or a misjudgement or just a mistake. Let's everyone take a breath here and
just work toward fixing this.

44302a and 44302b were grooved variants. This catalog still supports grooved
variants. BrickLink, please restore this change.

  I’m having a hard time with this, as I’ve been trying to buy some specific parts
missing from some sets and 2 times now, I’ve ordered specific parts, added on
a few others to meet the minimum buy for the seller and the seller sends me a
message AFTER shipping that they don’t have or can’t find the parts I actually
needed and still shipped the package. They provide a refund for the missing
parts, but those were the only reason I was buying in the first place.

Is that common business practice, to communicate after shipping that parts are
missing? Would this warrant less than positive feedback?

Newer member here, just seeking some help

Put a note with the order ... DO NOT SHIP IF MISSING PARTS A, B AND C.

Yes. This seems to be the only way to defend against this unfortunate seller
practice.

Also, if sellers want to just refund parts without telling you, and they don't
advertise this practice in their terms, they ought to refund your shipping as
well so you can shop elsewhere.

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

I used the building instructions from LEGO. The BI have the 366501.
Also when you look at the picture of the build set, you can see the 366501 part.

Sorry, I failed to specify that I was referencing the 7 digit code for the instructions.
I checked on LEGO.com and it looks like that version is 6073915. So, it seems
these parts would need to be considered as Alternates.

  Hi all.

Just spent some time doing my least favourite task: Adding wheels and wheel assemblies
to inventory....

I have always liked the option to use assemblies where it makes sense to do so.
One example is where a specific tire and wheel combo only exists as one exact
example or one color combination. There are very few of those, I think.

After spending time identifying wheels and tires, it can save you a ton of headaches
in the future if you LABEL THEM with the part numbers.

How are you supposed to LABEL tires from a used lot you haven't identified
yet?

linear actuator), I'm rather not sure.

Take photos of what you send out. That way you know if you made a mistake and
your buyer might 'find' the missing items after being prompted.

The first one is the one I was looking for. THANK YOU!!!

Its great because when printed on a standard printer page you can just lay the
tire on the picture for size and width comparison. I added several of the 'additional
notes' from the catalog entry to the pictures as well to identify variants.

I highly recommend this chart for every person identifying tires.

  Noob (and probably silly) question but if I buy a set new, then part it out and

just be individually wrapped and in new condition (never used as it went straight
from the original packaging into a seperate bag).
Thanks!

Ah, don't individually wrap every brick, okay?? And don't build your
minifigs.

Good luck!

  Hi all,

I haven’t been getting orders for the past few weeks, but before that I used
to get 1-3 a week. I wanted to ask if there was something wrong with my shop
or how I could get more orders? I have added about 10k more pieces this year
and am still slow on orders. Also, I tried to lower my shipping as much as possible
in order to be able to pay the PayPal and Bricklink fees. (I do currently use
pirate ship)

Thank you so much for your help

I find that sales follow fairly closely on listing new stock.

But this is about technical issues with the website.  The Gallery section falls

Ah, I guess I am too ancient to be up to date on any new features.

  Hi All,

For the first time, a seller has blocked me from buying, and I'm wondering
if I did something against the rules. I had a cart ready to check out, and sent
them a message to ask about a couple of variants (screen shot of the message
below).

When I click back on the store cart, I now see the following message "Seller
Refuses Service. This seller does not want to sell to you and has placed you
on their stop list."

I'm really confused, and am wondering if I violated any rules by sending
the message before checking out? I'm just a hobby seller, with no negative
feedback, and am now worried they may leave me some (even though I didn't
even place an order). Should I reach out to them, or just let it go? Looking
for good advice.

Thanks in advance!

I would suggest that is pretty strong indicator that they don't differentiate
variants. You broke no rules, they are just rude. And you can't leave feedback
without a transaction. Time to move on to another shop!

  Good afternoon everyone,

Quite new with all the catalog requests:
I added three new rare pieces I would like to sell. It's been quite a while
now and nothing has happened.

Is there a way to ask someone kindly to proceed with the upload?
I cannot sell these beautiful cloth patches until someone uploaded the items.


Greetings.
Barthon

You submitted these less than two weeks ago?

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPend.asp

Your entries look good, but I would advise a bit more patience. There is a long
list of pending items, the admin do the best they can with the limited time they
have available, and new parts are generally prioritized over older or specialty
items.

The admins will add an x to a pending number if there is a question about the
submission that they need to run down. That way they can keep approving parts
or minifigs in the series without creating a gap.

Is there a page in the book that specifically shows how this guy is built? Similar
to what you would see in regular LEGO instructions?

In Catalog Identification, jul9000 writes:
  Hello,

This is regarding my new minifigure submission (njo884x; althought I'm not
the one who added the "x" ).

The minifigure was included in "b24njo02pl". The Polish title and multiple
mentions inside the book suggest a "hunter", although the English publisher
site (https://www.ameet.eu/book/lego-ninjagoempire-warrior/) mentions the following
names:
- "Imperium Warrior" (on the cover)
- "Imperium Hunter" (in the description)
- "Dragon Hunter no 29" (multiple mentions inside the book, can also
be found among book pictures on publisher's site)

Parts wise:
- torso, legs, head and helmet are the same as in njo815 ("Imperium Claw
General" )
- the only difference between this minifigure and njo815 is the lack of "Black
Minifigure Armor Shoulder Pads Spiked with Stud on Back"
- a "Imperium Claw Hunter" (njo817) is already known, but has different
set of torso, legs and helmet

Please advise how to correctly add this minifigure.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best,

You are using some terms that don't line up with our Catalog jargon. Can
you please post a screenshot or a url of what you are trying to accomplish? I
don't see anything different with this torso from any other.

~Jen

In Catalog, ghyde writes:
  I don't know if the torso, without arms and hands, should exist but without
a color ID for it. The following is an example that I came across whilst searching
for a torso:

 
Part No: 973pb3658  Name: Torso Female with White and Lavender Flowers Pattern
* 
973pb3658 Torso Female with White and Lavender Flowers Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Torso

If I try to add this with the "Add catalog image" macro, it cannot post
it without the color ID.

The Preview button complains that there is no color ID, but that's not an
issue, as it is recognized for the part ID that it is.

I can, however, manually add it without a color ID, although this is not how
it works for most other parts.

I'm unsure if this is a technical issue, if this post belongs elsewhere,
please move it, although I don't want duplicates of a known issue to be posted,
either.

Cheers ...

  PS Thank you for the autoreply idea.

I had one buyer, I told him about the BL message thing, so he started abusing
me by email, and appearing "reasonable" by BL message.

To keep a record of these messages, reply using the BL system and copy/paste
their message in your reply. It is not perfect, but at least that way their correspondence
gets attached to the order in question (or at least to their account).

Niek.

I do this as well. It's important to have all communication attached to the
order itself.

My parts are all sorted by type, and it'll be easier that way to 'rebuild'
sets.

Do you mean the default Set Inventory list? There's a drop-down menu for
Sort Items By: right at the top.

It's becoming a bit of a chore to keep them clean and dust free of dust.
More sets are in the planning stage for later on down the road.

Anyone have any experience cleaning lego with something like a make-up brush?

I use this brush to dust Lego(not that I ever remember to)

I feel sorry for your LEGO. Doesn't that leave a ton of scratches??

It depends on the brush. A wide cheek brush is not going to work. Built LEGO
has too many nooks and crannies. I use a soft synthetic acrylic paintbrush from
the art store. It's kinda pricey ($10-15) but leaves no scratches.

  Hello there. I need to ask for some assistance because yesterday I placed an
order on Bricklink (Lego 75192 - Millennium Falcon), and unfortunately, an issue
arose. It appears that the seller's profile (https://store.bricklink.com/picasso2257?p=picasso2257#/terms)
has been compromised, and he is unable to contact me through Bricklink. He states
that he no longer has access to Bricklink and has not received any payment. Coincidentally,
the store was closed this morning, and its location has been relocated from France
to the US.
Upon discovering this, I promptly contacted PayPal and submitted a refund request.
Additionally, I reached out to my bank to block the payment, as one half of it
has been made using PayPal balance, while the other half had been processed through
my credit card, and the payment was not completed. Now, I would like to inquire
about the likelihood of receiving a refund. I am aware that if the seller fails
to ship the package, I can fill out a Non-Shipping Seller form. However, how
optimistic should I be about getting my money back?
Thank you, everyone, for your assistance.

Sigh... a low feedback buyer's account, not used in ages and then with just
one recent feedback for selling. That's a recipe for fraud if ever I saw
one!

I know, but honestly I thought that Bricklink was free of any scams... evidently
I was wrong. Do you think I can manage to get my money back?

BrickLink is an open marketplace. You need to look out for yourself! Good thing
you used Paypal.

Read feedback. Read terms. If an offer is too good to be true, it is usually
too good to be true. Don't buy rare or expensive items from sellers with
no experience.
