in trans neon green.
Lego logo on the studs.
Where did it come from? Not in the catalog.
|
Probably a prototype color.
If it's not a hassle, please consider photographing it and adding it to the
bricklink catalog for future verification reference that it does exist in that
color.

There is a lot of room between the length of time it took for the BL AFOL sets
to sell out and the 40 minutes it took the Castle in the Forest to sell out yesterday.
Yes, the variables were different, but ... 40 minutes? I can't imagine that
was expected.

Indeed not. They apparently only expected double the ADP backers / half the
Ideas clickers.
The 3,000 minimum is understandable. And I guess they have lots of reasons for
setting a max (parts availability, with other sets to produce, relatively short
time to produce / manage supply, etc.).
Still, if the biggest toy seller in the world can’t predict anything, repeatedly….
If you add the no-more-exclusives fiasco (
AFOLs: Stop making exclusives! We all want to buy everything!
TLG: Okay, we hear you! No more regional exclusives, pinky swear! … BTW, here
are new sets exclusive to East Asia, and here’s another one for the SDCC, and,
and, and…. )
and other very limited limited editions, it’s like TLG only wants to sell (expensive)
collectibles, not toys, and only to scalpers.
|
Pure speculation here, but I think the artificial scarcity motivates people to
buy that might not otherwise. I can always put off buying a regular LEGO set
knowing that it will probably be available for a few years, but the same is not
true of a designer program set. Of course, LEGO could probably sell more than
5,000 of each if they made them regular sets, but it would probably take more
than a day.
|
Maybe I don't understand what's going on (and there's probably not
a sure way to do so)... But, if I were a company, I would think the best method
would be to make the max unlimited and then close the number AFTER the 30 days
(or whatever) time expired. I would want to maximize my profits. In fact, the
more sets that are produced at any factory at one time, the less the cost for
each set it. Because the biggest time/cost factor is setting up the production
run itself for the first time.

| | Hello Bricklinkers,
After adding all my remarks and try to part out ninjago city gardens, it failed😞
I’ve noticed that you are meant to part this set in two halves.
Below is the additional note.
Additional Notes: Collapse ▲
Due to the massive number of lines (1000+) in the inventory of this set, the
BrickLink system will time out during the part out process. You must part out
the set in two different halves.
It would be much appreciated if someone is kind enough to let me know how you
do that please.
*do you just delete half of the lots?
Thank you.

Is it really that hard to fix this site error?

I need some more help identifying some parts in my inventory. I'm aware that
they're from either Bionicle / Hero Factory / Knights Kingdom - other than
that, I'm unable to identify them.
Any and all help appreciated.
Thank you!

Are you aware that most of those parts have a part number already engraved into
them? Simply type the part number in the search bar and the entry for it in the
catelog on bricklink will come up.

We had a buyer leave us great and positive written feedback, but accidentally
chose "neutral" instead of "positive" feedback as the radio button. They are
a first time buyer. Any way to modify this to be a positive?
We contacted the seller and they confirmed it was an accident, but this affects
the store and would like it changed.
Thanks!

In the past, I sent a message to the help desk and they were able to do something

If you have the time, please take a moment to submit a photo of the real part
to the database, so we have record that an authentic one is actually out in the

'm pretty sure the main objective behind the catalog is
that it is a representation of the parts that are officially sold by Lego. While
they do sell parts to make monochrome minifigures, they are not sold as such,
hence why they are not listed in the standard catalog and require custom listings.
If they were to do this, it could open a can of worms for other requests.
|
Disagree - the main objective of the catalog is to facilitate selling and buying
LEGO in this marketplace. If there is significant demand it should be added to
the catalog to make it easier to buy and sell (and to track the price history).
I trust the catalog admins to make a judgement call whether something is worthy
or not, but can understand that they wouldn't want that responsibility and
the flood of requests/complaints.
|
I agree. This should be done with certain types of parts after proper discernment.

This exists because it was sold this way. Same for the others that are mentioned
below that have appeared in sets as figs built that way. I get the idea of having
all different monochrome color figs available, but then where do you limit the
creation of them. Does it mean, you could only have figs if all the parts are
available to create it. If someone "cleans" a part to remove the print and create
a new monochrome, they technically have the part, but it's not original by
any means. The current catalog doesn't limit anyone from buying or creating
them, but I could see the gap if someone is looking to purchase one. It's
a balance that I'm glad I don't have to manage.
|
They can also "clean" a part and list it as the plain torso, that is nothing
new. I'd hope anyone doing that would list them as used or at least indicate
the parts had been wiped.
They can also create a monochrome torso assembly by pulling off (yellow) hands
from another one such as this
and adding the correct colour hands. So the torso assembly might not be original
but still exists if created. More of a worry are monochrome legs/hips, as people
can pull off the legs and damage the pins, but again that is not a new problem.
|
As long as they are sold as used it doesn't matter. And if after wipe it's
100% indistinguishable from a non-wiped used torso... well... it really doesn't
matter.

We have considered harmonization of colors in the past, and we continue to do
so. But one thing I will mention is that the word "OLD" is likely not a term
we will include in Item Names or Color Names.
On BrickLink, the color and item name are often concatenated, meaning they are
stuck together for use as a single term. The official color numbers of Modulex
were removed from the color name for this very reason, to keep people from getting
confused.
And speaking of numbers, I'm thinking the first step in harmonization would
be to replace the BrickLink color numbers with official LEGO numbers. What do
people think of THAT idea. When we speak to internal folks, they tend to use
the numbers instead of the names, so there is value in those numbers.
