  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!

Not sure which sets were the first that I got. Looking through the catalog there
are some sets I owned that were released in the year I was born. I guess those
were still for sale when my parents decided that I was old enough to play with
Lego. Some of my earliest memories of Lego involve sets

  Can I suggest the change to 87552pb030 so its 68% rather than %89

Panel 1 x 2 x 2 with Side Supports - Hollow Studs with Gauges and '68%'
on Red Background Pattern on Inside (Sticker) - Set 60092

Stickered parts are added to the catalog as shown in the instructions. The instructions
show the sticker applied in the same way as the current catalog entry for this
part.

Not sure if you already noticed this, but the same assembly is also in set 42170
and I already submitted it to the catalog. So once it is approved it can also
be added as a counterpart to this set.

 
Part No: 65766c03  Name: Technic, Steering Axle with 2 Pin Holes and 2 Arms with Axle Holes without Slots (Reinforced) with Light Bluish Gray Wheel Hub 3 Pin Holes Round (65766 / 35189)
* 
65766c03 (Inv) Technic, Steering Axle with 2 Pin Holes and 2 Arms with Axle Holes without Slots (Reinforced) with Light Bluish Gray Wheel Hub 3 Pin Holes Round (65766 / 35189)
Parts: Technic, Steering

  Okay, I have done a bit more research here. Before anything can be done with
this counterpart, the assembly parts must be present. For part 65766 to be added
to the inventory, it must be found in a sealed set and added as an alternate.

 
Part No: 65766  Name: Technic, Steering Wheel Hub Holder with 2 Pin Holes and 2 Arms with Axle Holes without Slots (Reinforced)

65766 Technic, Steering Wheel Hub Holder with 2 Pin Holes and 2 Arms with Axle Holes without Slots (Reinforced)

is actually listed in the LEGO data for this set. If the admin will
accept video evidence, the newer variant does appear to be here:

at the 7 minute mark. If this is good enough, I will submit the change requests
and get the OP's request taken care of.

Thanks,

But I don't see 65766 in the inventory for that set.

I do see this one:

~Jen

The alternate black part 65766 is not listed in that set. I just parted out a
used 42107 and that came with that part in it. Either way those parts can be
combined...just want to add that to the catalog as LBG if we can.

Hello,

If the combination is not shown in the LEGO instructions or found in a sealed
set, I do not believe it will be added to the Catalog.

They are dark brown, not reddish brown. And there are already two dark brown
11477 in the inventory for this set.

Following!

Since no one responded I've reached out to 2 sellers who have the item listed
for sale to ask if they could check what theirs looks like. I'll let you
know when I get an answer.

I looked at the ones from my own two sets that have them. They are printed on
both sides. And if you look at the catalog images for the sets that they come
in you can see that those are also printed on both sides.

  Hello Bricksies,
I have trouble understanding the part if I can just sell my collection to fellow
Bricksies from the European Union or that I am correctly limited to only sell
from and in the Netherlands or that my store/account is flagged wrongly?
let me put out some info first:
- Since 10 days ago properly registered as a seller on bricklink, see my store;
https://store.bricklink.com/HiveBricks&utm_content=globalnav#/shop
I believe it is set to only sell in the Netherlands and my store is currently
open.
I have zero sales yet, cannot enable selling in Europe in settings (I believe
I should be able because I do not have to register as OSS or with the Chamber
of commerce yet because I have not met the €10.000 Threshold yet)
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2550#:~:text=What%20is%20distance%20selling%3F,rate%20of%20the%20buyer's%20country.
”What is distance selling?
European Union (EU) Marketplace rules effective July 1, 2021 require that any
seller with more than €10,000 (euro) worth of distance sale of goods must register
with their local tax authorities and charge the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate of
the buyer’s country”
- I want to be able to sell in certain EU countries
- My question is as follow, Should I register with my Chamber of commerce and
get a VAT number / OSS or should I contact Bricklink to change/fix my settings?

Any feedback is appreciated, thx for reading Bricksies

Regards Rene/Hivebricks

Below is a image of my store settings:

The distance selling setting should only be enabled if you sell over € 10000
per year (or if you chose to register for OSS). This setting will charge buyers
VAT based on the buyer's country's VAT percentage. If the setting is
disabled buyers will be charged the VAT percentage of the seller's country
(if you have VAT enabled) or no VAT (if you have VAT disabled).

So in your situation you should disable distance selling in your store settings
(and make sure that shipping methods are set up for EU countries if you have
not already done that).

Hi,

The dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).

Usually good advice, but less useful when the Studio forum is down (504 Gateway
Time-out).

That is for flattened box dimensions. If you want dimensions of the packed box
you should download sets from the catalog with dimensions.

I get the exact same dimensions with both files.

I had not checked that. I just assumed that downloading boxes would have given
you the flattened dimensions.

  Hi everyone, I'm writing from Italy, I'm desperately asking for help
I am creating an inventory in which I would like to list all the box formats
of our beloved constructions, for a research aimed at creating an innovative
and very useful product, I ask if anyone already has a list or if they have had
the patience to list them all, I mean the formats and if he is willing to share
the list
thank you so much and happy legoacy to everyone

Hi,

You can download (parts of) the database: Click ‘Market,’ then choose ‘Download’
in the grey banner, then choose “Original boxes” in the left dropdown, tick the
checkbox to add dimensions, choose your format and download.

Then you open the file, sort by the dimension column… and cry your eyes out

(A quick count gives me 6476 formats.)

That is for flattened box dimensions. If you want dimensions of the packed box
you should download sets from the catalog with dimensions.

  At first I did throw it into the bin deemed nothing to do with Lego.
Then I saw the Lego logo on the back and made me curious. I thought of a road
sign or support stand. But could not find it.
Anyone any idea what part this is?

Looks like the broken base for a road sign from the 1970s.

The thing on the bottom right could be a sprue from some part that comes in sets
as a pair on sprue. If it's not a sprue it is probably not Lego.

Comments from Submitter:
The set that I checked for my previous requests for the undetermined cupboards had only 3794b. But I checked the Excel files that I used to keep track of sets that I parted out. According to my files the sets that I parted out in 2014 had a mix of 3794a and 3794b.

  I am very small seller and have only been selling for a few months, so this may
be a dumb question.

Yesterday, I got my first request for a shipping quote on an kind of expensive,
Christmas themed set that has been in my inventory from the start. No problem,
I figured out the shipping charges and updated the quote per the help file.
Today, I get my second shipping quote request for the exact same item.
Different (apparent legit) customers, but the same set.

This just seems really weird to me. I suppose it could be a coincidence, but
I wanted to ask if there was anything I should be worried about here? And what
do I do if they both accept the quote? (I only have one listed and available
to sell)

TIA

At this time of year I guess people might be looking for Christmas sets. And
maybe you are (one of) the cheapest with that set?

If one of them buys it the other quote will be cancelled by the system because
you will no longer have the set in your inventory.

Do you have "Seller protection Show only Instant Checkout methods to new
