It would be really helpful if the 'sales' posts in the marketplace discussion
page had a stores country flag icon next to the username. To be able to see at
a glance would save us having to click on each post to find out. Personally I
tend not to buy outside the EU because of shipping costs and taxes.

I actually almost suggested this the other day. I would love to not have to click
on the posts as I rarely buy outside the USA.

You've got my vote.

Question for other SW collectors - is it common knowledge that sealed polybags
will sometimes cost much less than the minifigure itself?

I've run into friends polybags that are the same way. I always try to keep
sets together for resale, but sometimes I'm shocked that its not worth it
for the tiny sets.

I also just finished a Ninjago set recently where the figure was rare-ish and
more than I wanted to pay and I found a seller who had parted a bunch of that
fig out and was able to buy him in pieces for far less than buying the assembled
fig. Its normally the reverse.

There are quite a few "new" sets that have been "built once" on here. It seems
admins are busy doing other things instead of removing these when they are reported.

FWIW I had a 4 cent part get removed/flagged very recently because I had somehow
hit new on it when listing it (it was bizzare because the rest of the part out
was marked used with comments stating "good for used" or something to that affect).

So there is either a person or an algorithim out there doing something.

That’s condescending.

" If there is no audience there is no show. "

I'm surprised that as frequent of a user you are you took twice as long to
get to the point I got too. The best way to deal with trolls is to not feed them
(though I do fully understand this snack I'm writing to you will be eaten
readily)

Until we get actual moderators that have the ability to police bad behavior the
ignore button and pity are our only tools

Also for what it's worth I took many years to hit 30 ish FB. I was living
in an apartment and didn't have room to build anything. It isn't a user
value system.

i saw several similar transformer entries in the catalog but could not figure
out which one to list this as. Can someone kindly help to identify it?

I agree with the other poster, this looks like the ones I have for my 9v trains.

Flesh colored yoda oh my god. This is f-ing amazing

My dog, Chili, looks like just Dobby, so this is naturally going to be his new
nickname.

"The flesh Yoda is a bit Spicy"

I loooove it.

Mentioned in other posts, I am submitting this as a separate suggestion.

The goal of the $1 payment is to preclude new members from making false orders
and thereby avoid time wasted on pulling order items, attaining packing supplies,
calculating shipping, etc.

Perhaps there is also a benefit with regard to new sellers. Not sure.

I recognize there will be process, payment, and accounting challenges for BrickLink
administrators, along with maybe an undesired initial action to become a member,
however this proposal would screen out false buyers, and benefit the integrity
and positive experiences of the entire new member, buyer, and seller community
-- which for my part is a key reason I'm here.

I have said it before, the best way to weed out undesirable buyers and sellers
is to require 10 positive feedbacks before they are allowed to sell or buy. It
sounds so simple.

I dunno, I'm at 400 orders now and had a NPB, what, twice? I don't think
I've had one since I setup instant checkout either.

Sorry, can't get on board with this idea.

Had this happen on odd bricks but not on brown, nothing consistent like the brittle

Good to know, It was just the brown on that one set (from a bulk lot) no other
parts affected.

Thanks
