Thought I’d ask the experts.

Can my wife open an account with a different e-mail address at our actual address,
is this permitted.

She would like to buy things at times, not necessarily with my knowledge, presents
etc.

There is no chance that she will open a store as she knows nothing about Lego
at all.

Thanks in advance

It can be frantic when you first open/re-open with larger stocks.

The first few days can force you to temporarily close so that you avoid disappointing
customers with long delays.

Had to do this about three times when I re-opened a month or so ago.

Normally slows a little after the first two weeks unless you are a huge store
and then hopefully becomes a manageable steady flow of orders which you can cope
with.

My experience anyway.

  Hi everyone, I recently, last Friday, started selling my loose Lego pieces in
my store. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I received about 20 orders in a few
hours. I was so inundated with orders that I had to temporarily close the store
to process the orders. I am just now sending out the last two. I am a temporary
store, as my kids don't want to inherit any Lego's. I was so frazzled
doing this that I now have respect for those that do this as a business. Good
work to all those that have stores!!

Thank you both for your input.

Oh well, it won’t affect sales as buyers can see the customer was happy with
items.

Congrats, and well done to James as well.

Any images of said items, just curious as to what they produced.

  We had season passes the first two years of LegoLand, CA's opening, my son,
daughter and I. Mostly as a place to hang out when bored, sometimes just somewhere
to eat our lunch outdoors. It was a very nice environment for the kids and I
in the earlier years of its opening. Very relaxed wonderful space for them especially.
Good memories

So almost inevitably, we became friends with some that worked there. In particular
was a woman that ran the injection molding display at the park, my kids speaking
Swedish and her being from and missing her family in Sweden, it just happened.
Anyway, we ended up with a lot of souvenirs she liked to give them, samples from
what the displayed LEGO injection molding machine processed throughout the day.
This was before our involvement with BL and the selling of LEGO, or really even
as enthusiastic fans of LEGO, and so they were just fun items for my son and
daughter to take home.

Cutting back towards the point: These items were produced on an official LEGO
injection molding machine by a LEGO affiliated employee. Would these unique items
hypothetically then be allowed into the BL catalog? I say hypothetically, as
we no longer have the parts. Tossed them long ago, actually

Now to the point: What does actually qualify as "officially" LEGO
and therefore allowed to be sold here?
Maybe more definitive guidelines would
be useful to all of within the secondary marketplace?

Just some (anecdotal backed) pondering

Seems, as I've argued over the years, a misunderstanding of the BL "neutral"

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=868453

It looks more like a mistake when leaving feedback than a misunderstanding to
me. If they misunderstood what they were doing then why leave lots of positives
with similar comments previously?

Opened again recently and orders have been good, more than enough orders without

3001special, it’s a 3001old in a non standard colour, nice find.

  Hello all Bricklinkers!
I found this 2 x 4 brick, in pink color (I guess...) without cross supports.
In the 3001old entry, there are no pink parts. However, I can find it at the
3001special entry (special bricks, test bricks and/or prototypes). The thing
is, all the pictures in this entry have a letter on the studs (f, c, etc). My
part have a old 'lego' logo printed on the studs. Is this still a 3001special?
Or is another kind of 3001 brick that I can't find?
Thanks in advance for your help!
(An yes, the part needs a serious bath ... )

  what is your favorite bootleg toy, action figure, movie, or video game? post
pics! My personal favorite would have to be the Speclatron toy line from 1984.
These most definitely qualify as best-worst . these were made as a bootleg
to Mattel's Masters of the Universe toy line from 1982. they featured gaudy
color schemes, translucent torsos with water and glitter in them, and by pressing
a small button in the back, the water and glitter would swish around, and cause
"Magic action"

LOL these are probably the worst! the main villain was named Dethlor, and was
the leader of the evil space aliens, and the hero's name was simply Hero,
obviously a knock off of He-Man. the reason why Dethlor is significant however,
he sometimes uses 1984 Man-E-Face's blaster accessory from the Masters of
The universe line. in a silver or blue color. the figures are extremely rare
and are worth a fortune believe it or not!

Post your favorites below!
