Anyone help me ID this figure? Please and thank you.

He came with this white beard. I found the beard in the catalog, it doesn't
look like it goes with him, but it is probably worth more than whatever he is
supposed to have.

If you need a quick cheap filler, Beast Boy Dimensions set had a forklift.

  I'm looking to buy a couple of newer (within the last 20 years) style LEGO
forklifts. I don't think there is a set that has just a forklift, so this
would be from an incomplete set. If you have a forklift sitting around you are
looking to sell please reach out. Glad to purchase through BrickLink or do a
trade. Picture for examples of what I am looking for.

 
Set No: 7733  Name: Truck & Forklift
* 
7733-1 (Inv) Truck & Forklift
335 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2008
Sets: Town: City: Cargo

Thanks

FYI!!!!!!! I just left Meijer and they had an awesome sale going on. All of
the Meijer clearance toys, including Lego, were an extra 25% off the clearance
price! They had a lot of sets, big and small, on clearance. A few that stood
out to me were the Spiderman Lair, Boba Fett Throne Room, and the Batcave.

Was there recently an ice skater exclusive in the Lego store Build A Minifigure?

will someone link it, please and thank you.

As a buyer I wont leave a feedback until I receive one. I put in the order,
I paid, what more does a store want from me to be considered a positive buyer?
It seems often stores are waiting to make sure everything is correct, and you
aren't a troublesome buyer (which you'll read here often), then only
leaving negative as a retaliation. It's ultimately up to you on how to leave
feedback, but there seems to be a general consensus for you from other sellers.
Good luck.

  Greetings Bricklink,

I am a new store with only 6 orders so far. the last 4 orders I sent out have
all received their parts, but haven't left any feedback. It's been a
few days for most of them and I don't think they are going to leave any.
I have posted in my terms that I will leave feedback if they do. The 4 buyers
were all new, most of them with zero feedback. Should I leave the buyers positive
feedback anyway since they were all perfectly fine and maybe it looks better
for my biz if I do, or should I stick to my terms and not leave any because
I really need their feedback too? You would think if they were trying to get
the feedback to become sellers they would be aware of all this. I also don't
want to look like I forgot to leave feedback. Let me know what you think!

Thanks,

Upstate_Brickz

As a buyer looking, you need to add more stuff. I was going to put an order
in to get you started, but you don't have very much. Also, your prices seem
pretty average. Why should a buyer shop at your place instead of anyone else?
It's a business, so I wouldn't recommend dropping all your prices, but
maybe drop the price low on a couple items to entice buyers to come to your store.
Good luck.

All points well taken; thank you! A few questions:

How can I make a decent table in this word processor? no way toI can see no way
to set the line spacing. I tried table format, but then every cell needs to to
be typed. It will not import data into the cells, at least that I can see. I
have saved the formatted document in several formats, but they all insert as
scrunched up text. The tabs are not preserved.

How do I add pictures? Where would you suggest putting them?

Anybody else ever received a crushed set from a Lego.com order? This is the
first time from a Lego order something like this has happened to me. The delivery
box was in normal condition, so when the set was packed it was already crushed.
The entire box is crushed and even the end of the box is ripped off. Maybe
someone wasn't feeling so awesome at the Lego factory that day? I was going
to give the set as a gift, but I think I'll order a new one and just keep
this set myself to assemble.

I'd give it a few more days (but I am also an extremely patient person).
My last five packages I've received have done the exact same thing that
azbrickz mentioned.

In General, azbrickz writes:
  I have had a couple packages that I sent never show an 'acceptance' scan
and only pop up in the system once they are at the destination city or delivered.
Last Christmas was worse and several packages took almost a month to be delivered
but this year seems to be better (at least for me). However, packages are taking
a few extra days to be delivered this year.

  I have a question and what advice would yall give.

I ordered quite of bit of parts from a seller over Thanksgiving who was offering
free shipping. While shipping was slow, I received the order with several pieces
missing. Ok, I get that it happens. I emailed seller about the missing pieces.
She said they would have in the mail about a day or two. Ok, no problem. It
has been almost two weeks. I have emailed the seller many times. I have got
a few replies. The seller sent me a tracking number on the 14th. I have checked
the tracking and it still says USPS is waiting on the item. Seller told me they
put it in the mail a few days ago. Still says post office has not received it.
When I messaged seller about it and asked what is going on. I am now not getting
any replies. I have never had this happen.

I'm very allergic to cigarette smoke, and have had this happen with Bricklink,
Ebay, and even store bought Lego. I'll put them in a bucket, and every time
I go to the bathroom pour the water out and put new water in, this usually takes
about a week to get the smell gone. If it's raining putting them in a mesh
bag and leaving it outside will speed up the process.

In Selling, CSC writes:
  Would you and/or Bricklink consider parts/minifigs that smell like smoke new?

It is not just a bit of a smell, it is horrible on each minifig I ordered.
I also contacted the seller after placing the order that he should not send the
items if they smell like smoke as I saw that in his feedback. The seller never
responded but shipped the parts AFTER I sent my message.

Any ideas on how to handle this?

Thanks

I have several pieces like this. The only time I have have seen it is on this
exact same piece. Mine are brown. I think they are new. I found mine in a
batch of used Lego, everything else in it the batch was Lego.

  In a recent bulk lot, I found about a dozen or so of these slopes with messed
up stud logos (see pic, ones on the right are the parts in question, left one
is standard). They are identical in mould, weight and colour as the one of the
left, but the stud logos are upside down and/or crooked. Are they fakes?
