He’s “bump”ing the sale  but yes technically in this case. In Others where
they actually provide new info on the sale or if it’s ending soon is aloud (I
think)
|
Oh forgive me 'bump'ing sales are quite important new pieces of info

I ordered something from Wisconson recently, it got sent to Michigan, Washington,
and then West VA before it finally came here...however, Washington to here was
3 days if I remember correctly (although the package itself took almost two weeks,
what is the world coming to :/) I will say May 3rd at 5:04 EST...or May 4th at
2:59 EST...

| | I bought a Lego bundle a couple of days ago, quite a good deal for a large amount
of loose Lego.
There were a few bits still made up, I've come to take a couple of them apart
and found that someone has glued them together.
Is there a market for a glued set? if not are there any suggestions as to how
to get it apart without completely destroying the pieces.
One of them is a ninjano set which i'm not to bothered about but the main
one is 76052-1
I'm not sure if it's complete and think I'm going to struggle to
see if all the bits are there as I can't take it apart.
Any ideas?
|
I let it sit in warm soapy water when I need to unglue my Lego; however, I only
have used it for my own stickers for mocs I took apart, so not sure how it would
work on a larger scale and with perhaps stronger glue than mine. Perhaps this
youtube video will help? https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZVaQ4M47QUI

I usually still call them "Legos". I called them that my entire childhood

It feels more natural to me, and I'll take that trade-off even if it makes
me wrong.

| | I observe that some parts are regularly offered for exorbitant prices when there
is actually no reason for this.
Take for example this part
This was previously only available in set and
These sets were limited in number and are much sought after.
Since 2024, a new set has been available that contains this part.
It can be purchased in any LEGO store or reseller. But I still see that every
new seller of this part bases their price on the original price when this part
was still rare.
This it totally nuts imo.
I'm thinking of parting out 10 sets containing this part and pricing them
at around 50 cents to change the price guide which will force future sellers
of this item to sell this item cheaper.
To the sellers: do you also experience these kinds of crazy things?
|
You really think sellers are checking the pricing and availability of every item
in a part out? They set it 'just below the 6 months average' and click
the button.
By the way, if everyone keeps doing that, the prices will all hit bottom. Like
every book on amazon costing $.99
|
A specific part should be worth what similar rarity parts are, it's a supply
and demand market. As a buyer, I appreciate the thoughtfulness towards buyers

| | I’m feeling a bit desperate and could really use help with an issue I’m having
with a seller. I purchased 7 minifigures from their store (2 Clone Trooper sw1304,
4 Clone Trooper Captain Rex sw1315, and 1 Sabine Wren sw1303. They arrived over
a month later, and both Clone Troopers had incorrect heads and no visors, all
4 Captain Rex were missing their pauldrons and rangefinders, and Sabine is missing
her rangefinder. When I reached out to the seller, he said those items are not
included because they are “accessories” and not part of the minifigure (the listings
say “does not include accessories”). I have explained repeatedly that everything
listed in a minifigure’s inventory is part of the minifigure, and I have sent
links to BrickLink’s policies to no avail. He is refusing to do anything to remedy
this situation. I filed an NSS and a claim with PayPal, which he is disputing.
My biggest concern is that PayPal likely doesn’t have the time to investigate
the nuances of minifigure inventory or BL policies. He is refusing to acknowledge
this, and claims my interpretation of the policies is incorrect. This hell loop
is seriously stressing me out. Can anyone please offer some guidance on how to
handle this?
Here are some exchanges with the seller:
Hello,
I just received my order, and there are multiple problems:
Both of the 2 Clone Trooper sw1304 have the WRONG HEADS. They came with
Chancellor Palpatine sw1306 heads. They are also missing their visors.
All 4 of the Clone Trooper Captain Rex figs are MISSING PAULDRONS and range
finders
Please let me know as soon as possible when you can ship all the missing items.
Since shipping took a long time, can these be shipped with Priority Mail or Express
Shipping?
I look forward to hearing from you.
I list in each sales publication it is specific how the minifigure comes, in
some cases with a lack of accessories and that is why the prices are so low,
although everything is new, you just can't get all the accessories.
Your way of interpreting it is wrong, when you buy a product you must carefully
check its conditions, from the moment you are buying a minifigure you are not
buying a complete set, a Lego minifigure is made up of 1 mini upper part, 1 lower
part , 1 head, and as an extra 1 helmet or hair. And so that you are well informed,
a minifigure is not a product that Lego sells, it is part of a product that Lego
sells.
What you say about shoulder pads, capes and so on, they are accessories, and
in the specifications I say: without accessories.

Have to say Lego the Hobbit. Played that since 2017-ish when I bought it on a

I'm not quite sure what category he falls into, but Duckbricks is an amazing
guy. His trip videos are fascinating, and the way he manages collecting Lego,
a YouTube channel, a startup, and being an important guy at Microsoft is pretty
awesome. He also is funny in his own way, without having to do literal comedy.
He just seems like someone you'd want to be friends with.
