Sorry, couldn't help it. Had no TV in my apartment when I was young. So it
was come home from work, run the boardwalk, shower, dress, walk to the deli for
takeout and walk across the street to Balboa theater to eat. But the hiccup was
that the theater played Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet for nearly a year straight
before switching movies. To be honest, I didn't mind as a romantic young
idealist. Cried like a baby

I think I still know most lines of that Shakespeare play

That's cool, I like stories about life like that.

Years ago when me and a friend rented a house, for entertainment all we had was
a VCR but no TV so we had hook it into my computer screen to use it. When it
came to movies our choices were limited to a wide variety of one movie, 'What
About Bob' starring Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray.

We watched that movie soooo many times that we became really good at memorizing
all the lines and we would play a game where one would say a line or just a word
or two and the other one would guess where in the movie the line or word came
from. We played that game for years after that.

Timeo hominem unius movie.

I can see a contemporary Thomas Aquinas type applying that statement to movies,
today...and they'd be dead wrong, saintly or not

It's a good movie. "baby steps!"

correct, that's why I did not know how to do it, thanks

  Hi,

short answer is no, if I have understood what you mean by painting (ie: changing
texture of part, like decorated brick or sticker).

If you mean something else, please be more explicit.

For the record, I have looked a while back if there is any textures actually
used for decorated parts, and found none at all. Looks like textures has been
converted into raw colour data of some kind, but I didn't dig too much into
this.

Too bad we can't just put any pic somewhere in data to create custom decorated
parts.

  Good afternoon, can you paint the bricks in Studio 2.0? If I want to put a white

pallets of bricks... Can be updated?

Comments from Submitter:
I found a part list here: https://support.dce.felk.cvut.cz/roboti/img/lego_set/9648_parts.jpg to help me sort out what was an extra and what wasn't. This is not a complete repair of the inventory because my set came with some torn bags and quite a few missing pieces. I'm only working with what was sealed. Luckily in one case a torn bag was obviously identical to a sealed one. There are 2 of several bags in the set, making it possible to extrapolate a bit. Where I found parts different from the inventory in torn bags, I am only including those that are corroborated by the parts list. I already have another coming and I won't to the partout until these changes are made so I can work from there to actually confirm the inventory.

The only recognisable number is this, there are several stickers with this number
on it.

Exploriens Value Pack
space: Exploriens: vp-25

maybe?

I would add "Space 3-Pack" to the title, seeing as that is what is written on
it. If someone doesn't know what it is, that will probably be a search term.

Yes with the sets included.

probably be happy to meet them.

But I think we need to allow seller's to opt into the option of "Allow buyers
to find my store by zip code" if this were to become a reality.

I run my store from home myself, but have the town I live in right there in my
store terms. Pity there is no search function for store terms, as I have gotten
numerous e-mails asking me in which town in the province I'm situated So
I'm left wondering if it is actually worth it to have it in there at all.

IMHO, this should be more oriented towards the best total that any store offers,
for the items desired plus shipping. That would encourage more stores to have
formally defined shipping numbers in concert with IC.

Because, close does not always equal best deal.

Nita Rae

This is actually a great point. Kind of like how Amazon shoppers can filter by
"Prime only"

A buyer using the auto-buy feature or auto-create carts through the wanted list
should be able to filter to "IC only" if they want.

Then, they can get a gauge of their piece cost total + shipping on their entire
wanted list. Ideally, the shipping total for each store would also display on
the wanted list summary page when the buyer is creating carts.

  Hello,

After hitting a bug where Buy All failed to create orders that totaled my entire
Wanted List (and I didn't realize it until starting to build the models,
too late to ship another order before my time deadline!), I tried to place another
order but search for stores near me so I could pick up locally. I could find
no way to do this.

How about adding a "Stores near me" option in "Sort By" dropdown menu? It could
be based on ZIP code without compromising any store's address. As it was,
I had to manually compare the "284 stores found" list (after I'd limited
it to U.S. stores) with the dozens of stores in my state, finding only two that
matched.

From a programming perspective, it seems like this feature should be easy, with
a big payback in functionality of your wonderful website. And stores still retain
the option to share their address or not, as mine did, after a buyer Contacts
them.

Best regards,
ejv

The only problem I see with this is sellers might not have time to meet in person.
Especially for low value orders.

The sellers would have to opt in if they are willing for nearby buyers to pick
up locally.

Or, it would be on the buyer to work it out on the front end. Otherwise, you'd
run the risk of a local buyer placing an orders, and then demanding to meet in
person.

A lot of sellers run their business from their homes. There would be a fair number
of sellers who wouldn't want someone coming to their personal home address
to buy a few pieces, and also wouldn't have time to meet across town for
an exchange in person. Sending items in the mail is both convenient and adds
a layer of security.

Obviously, this could open a niche market for sellers that are willing to do
this. It would be pretty rare in my area, so if a local buyer contacted me, I'd
probably be happy to meet them.

But I think we need to allow seller's to opt into the option of "Allow buyers
to find my store by zip code" if this were to become a reality.

  Hello,

After hitting a bug where Buy All failed to create orders that totaled my entire
Wanted List (and I didn't realize it until starting to build the models,
too late to ship another order before my time deadline!), I tried to place another
order but search for stores near me so I could pick up locally. I could find
no way to do this.

How about adding a "Stores near me" option in "Sort By" dropdown menu? It could
be based on ZIP code without compromising any store's address. As it was,
I had to manually compare the "284 stores found" list (after I'd limited
it to U.S. stores) with the dozens of stores in my state, finding only two that
matched.

From a programming perspective, it seems like this feature should be easy, with
a big payback in functionality of your wonderful website. And stores still retain
the option to share their address or not, as mine did, after a buyer Contacts
them.

Best regards,
ejv

IMHO, this should be more oriented towards the best total that any store offers,
for the items desired plus shipping. That would encourage more stores to have
formally defined shipping numbers in concert with IC.

Because, close does not always equal best deal.

This has been suggested before and hasn't been implemented because of privacy
issues and perhaps also because of the free market.
When a store is nearby it doesn't mean that the store accepts a pick up.
The easiest way is to send the stores a message.

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 10159  Name: City Airport - Full Size Image Box
* 
10159-2 (Inv) City Airport - Full Size Image Box
830 Parts, 12 Minifigures, 2004
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Airport

* Delete 1 Part 3001 White Brick 2 x 4

Comments from Submitter:
I have this set, and I was counting pieces in order to verify completeness. However I have not found a place to use 2x4 white brick in the building instructions. Maybe it appears as extra part.

Thank you very much for claryfying that to me looks liek I'm gonna need
one more brick in order to make my 10159 complete
