You be wrong too!

Certainly ont all hollow studs have a logo inside, like those too deep (like
almost all inverted slopes)

Indeed. And below that one is this one :

Both rather interesting

We had a blast with that set!

However, the 8-tooth gears slide on the bars just as easily as the red version.
I'd be pretty miffed about that if I'd gotten this as a kid

Picked up a nice MISB set locally for a song

Bought a decent beer and now "Contacts from the Underworld of Redboy"
is spinning ...

  It is not made of metal

The hook is though, hence the confusion

The LR 13000 counterweight is just a slab of ABS (as you mentioned)

Interestingly enough it does not conform to neither studs or bars so it's
a rather useless part compared to the old 2x6 train weight (that is 55gr in a
compact usable form, compared to the mighty 43gr for this part)

TLG could just have made the counterweight with a bunch of 3001s. It would have
been cheaper and heavier

Yes, it's that darn pesky LR 13000 counterweight still bugging me

So, BL managed to get the original listing deleted, only for the same seller
to relist the same parts right away again (allthough at a slightly lower price,
how nice of you )

And now a second seller have joined the party

Can we all play by the book here?

Cheers,

Ole

Yeah, a set missing nearly 3000 parts is a wee bit incomplete

How about waiting until the set is inventoried you silly person?

Cheers,

Ole

Do you have any tips for dismantling old Lego technic sets especially the old
toothed bushes 4265 is the most painful to my hands to separate!

Various ways and makeshift tools (made from LEGO parts) are actually shown in
several old instructions

Cheers,

Ole

That headline is very uncool ... and quite political to boot

Either it's a (BL?) glitch or a seller manipulating

It's _NOT_ the "government" (whatever that might be) robbing you


Cheers,

Ole

Wonder what the shipping fee will be on this. 12.000 USD I guess. Anyone else?

  Wonder what they would have done had they ordered directly from lego? or toys
r us, or walmart.

You should ALWAYS go to the vendor, never the mfg!

  I think most people would just go to Lego. I don't think someone would hold
Walmart responsible for a printing error

But they should

Printing errors on elaborate SW helmets is nothing new .. there's even a
market for that, I believe

If you don't have a spare proper one to send him, just refund him. Up to
you if you want it back

That's what I would do

Cheers,

Ole

11217pb15 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Clone Trooper (Phase 2) with Black Visor and Blue and Light Bluish Gray 501st Legion Markings Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear {White}

They are going to send me a picture of the error later.

I have never run into this before. As a seller, what would you do in this circumstance?

I do not have any helmets or minifigs with that helmet in stock. I want to treat
my customer right, however, this is a new one for me.

Any opinions welcome.
