My favourite character from Star Wars is "The Black Hole" But unfortunately
their scene ended up on the cutting room floor.

| | | | I was obviously referring to the sentence
"COBI is a very high quality clone".
They didn't say "it's a decent" or something like that.
"VERY HIGH quality" is a compliment. Wheter you agree or not, it's
a fact.
|
It is a high quality clone. That is a fact.
|
This behaviour of yours is very damaging to the community.
|
Which community is my behaviour damaging?
| | It's really a pain to spend a lot of time sorting bricks separing cheap clones
like COBI and so on from the actual LEGO and encouraging people to keep them
in order to make some small (to nearly zero) profit is not a good attitude for
this platform. I strongly believe that the money you can gain out of selling
stuff like clones (most of them are also illegal in most countries) is a small
amount compared to the time you lose in separing the bricks, converted into money.
Yours is shortsighted business.
|
So what you are implying here is that no other company aside from LEGO should
be allowed to sell brick building toys. If you buy bulk lots and need to remove
clone parts from them, that is not because of my behaviour. It is because the
people you bought them from had LEGO mixed up with bricks from other brands.
If sorting is an issue for you, then you should check first whether the mixed
lots you buy have clones in.
COBI is not illegal in most countries. That is an absolutely ridiculous statement.
You really do not know what you are talking about.
| | I believe also that complimenting or giving value to clone brands on this forum
is totally not the right place to do such. People who spend hours in separating
actual LEGO from knockoffs do this because of people keeping on having your attitude.
|
Many clone brands are of high quality these days. Some surpass LEGO in that their
colour can be more consistent, in some cases molding marks are less visible,
and prints are better quality. Denying that helps nobody. LEGO has had some terrible
quality issues in the past. If AFOLs deny that there are quality issues, then
LEGO would never have to improve where they fall short.
Just because something is not made by LEGO does not mean it has no value at all.
Destroying items because they are not LEGO is wrong. Banning other companies
from producing brick building toys would be hugely detrimental to LEGO fans,
since LEGO could increase the prices even more than they have already done as
they would have no competition. It also wouldn't be possible anyway as LEGO
does not have the right to stop other companies producing similar items especially
where LEGO no longer has active patents for.
COBI is a genuine company that produces its own designs for sets, and produces
many themes that LEGO say they will never produce. It is a perfectly legal competitor
for brick based toys.
|
Too Right.. Even brands such as Wilko and Smyths Toys have produced their own
building blocks sets, Just because Lego have been producing sets for years, Does
that mean no-one else can? Every item made has competitors making the same thing.
I'm sure not every single tin opener in the world is made by the same company.

Gojira is a really good band, but they're also pretty heavy & take some time
to adjust to if you've never ventured into metal music (they're also

It sounds like you may have just entered the wrong price, I once bought a minifigure
for 15p and the seller messaged me saying they meant to put £15 and cancelled
the sale because they messed up.

| | Hello everyone. On 15th of March i ordered some lego pieces together with a set
from a seller. He said that my order should arrive in 2-4 days. The track ID
was not provided and he informed me about it at the start. Once the 4 days passed,
my package didn’t arrive, and the seller told me to be patient. One month has
passed and no sound of the package. Did I get scammed?? I’m very furious and
the seller says that he can’t help me from then on. What the hell am I supposed
to do?He said that there is no receipt whatsoever because there was no track
ID in the first place.

Well this is a twisted tail of "What the heck is this?" and yes I am
aware of the "it is fake" crowd but I can assure you I have documentation
to backup the "real" claim.
This is a one of a kind LEGO brick and yes it is 14k Gold.
I am not very good in photos and this thing even makes me look good.
Sometimes it is better to be lucky then good looking that is for darn sure.
Have a great weekend.

What a pretty brick, I will gladly take it off your hands for £1 just to be nice

It appears to be with a painted mask. Might be a clone since it

| | Hi everyone,
I had a buyer buy a sealed battle of the black gate from me. Payment went smooth
especially since it was his first buy, I communicated every step with him and
shipped his package off within 24 hours. Upon delivery he was not at home and
since it was a $500 set I added the signature option, it was then taken to the
nearest Canada post awaiting his pickup. I followed up with him sending 3 separate
Bricklink messages letting him know that he had to pick it up, I used both Bricklink
and his email. after 14 days he didnt pick it up and its now on its way back
to me. Am I liable for the 40$ of return shipping and should issue him a full
refund or what is my move from here, he still hasn't contacted me as of now.
Thanks for the help!
|
did he read the messages you write? you can check at bricklink
|
You cannot know if he didn't read them, as they could have read the email
copy. You can only if he did read them (or at least clicked on it, even then
they might not have read it).

It seems to me that something may have happened to the buyer, To spend so much
money and not even question not receiving it, especially after a few weeks.
