|
| The mini figure weapon
included in the latest Guardians of the Galaxy sets has a new part number, 77034.
However, from what I can tell from comparing the parts, they otherwise look identical.
Included is a picture. Interestingly, on the other side, both include the same
copyright of 2013. I was assuming that since the molds appear to be otherwise
identical, the proper response is to not create a new part, but to instead just
add the new part number to the existing part.
However, I was instructed to post a picture here, so here it is!

| | I've been on Bricklink for a couple of years now. I used to get many orders
from the USA and international as well. However, I have been getting ONLY orders
from within the county in the last while (I want to saw almost for a year).
Is there possibly a problem in my store that is not allowing buyers from outside
the county to buy from me? Store name is Mroak62.
I seem to have shipping enabled to USA and Europe. Perhaps there is another issue.

Shipping. The problem is shipping costs.
I typically make small orders. If I do that with a US store, it will cost $4-5
to ship. Your minimum shipping is $12. With a US store, I can pay for the shipping
of a medium sized set for $12. I shudder to think what that would translate to
from Canada.
To be clear, you are not doing anything wrong. Shipping costs are what they are.
You can't do anything about that. It just is. But, I don't order from
outside the US because of high shipping costs, and I don't sell outside the
US because US international shipping charges are completely outrageous.

Bright, unfiltered daylight. Even full spectrum artificial light doesn't
do it. Wide open windows on a sunny day is the best I have found. It may sound
weird, but like others are saying, it works.
Plus, you're always gonna miss some. It's gonna happen.

| When will set 40449 be approved for listing? The set has been out for two days
now, and I'd like to do the inventory. And I can't put the set together,
if I'm gonna do the inventory. So, can it get approved?
Thanks!

Listing it as a custom item is a great way for it to never be found.
I recommend listing it as an imcomplete set. That's really your only chance
for people to find it until Special Assemblies become active again.

In regards to the two Unikitties in set , if you only want to list
one of them, fine. But which one? The decision is totally arbitrary. The box
itself is effectively two separate presentations. It doesn't have a front
and back, so much as two fronts. If you look at the instructions, they do NOT
have numbers. Instead it has two equal, independent instruction books. Really,
this set is two completely independent sets that happen to use the same parts.
As such, choosing just one of those Unikitties is a completely arbitrary decision,
and it can be argued that either one should be the primary.
This is NOT a case where there is an obvious primary build of the minifigure,
with a side picture showing an alternative build. (Like a character that has
both a helmet and hair, where one is the primary build, and the other is an alternative
for play purposes.) No, this is outright two separate minifigures that just happen
to use common parts. This is a very different case than just about any other
situation.
Also, if they can't be listed as counter-parts, how are they supposed to
be sold. It is flat out the case that this minifigure will be sold as a minifigure,
whether it has a specific listing or not. There are only two ways to do so: one
is as a custom figure (which is pointless) and the other is as an incomplete
set (which is what will be done). When listed as an incomplete set, this pollutes
the averages on which so much stuff is based. When it is such a small part of
the set, that can have a very over-sized impact on those averages. By allowing
the counterpart figure, you avoid those issues.

What is your source for making this change?

Well, I am doing the inventory for the Anglia. I would have much preferred to
just use th listed 51011u, to be honest, but the system wouldn’t let me. So,
I had to figure out what the options are and pick one. I see that the difference
is that it will either have a band around the middle or it won’t. My tires do
not have the band, thus I picked 42611. And these are the tires that came from
the set I have.
And, since I thought it would be ridiculous to list different part numbers for
the same part in the set that includes the assembly, I made the catalog request
change for the set.
I can send pictures, if that’d help. I’m not sure what else I can say to clarify
the request. Especially since the replaced part is supposed to be deleted anyway.

Hi Mike -
When I asked for the source, I meant what we use in the inventory system: "Sealed
Set Contents", "Used Set", "Parts List", etc. I am sorry if that was not clear.
If your source is a set that was purchased new by you, opened and built by you,
and the pieces were never mixed with another set, then the source is "Sealed
Set Contents" and approving the request is easy. We would then get the main set
updated as well as get the Ford Anglia assembly you have submitted approved.
If your source is a set that was purchased used by you or the pieces have been
mixed with other sets then I need to find proof somewhere else to accept this
request so that we don't get wrong data into the system. I have not done
this yet because I was awaiting a response from you.
Hopefully that explains things a bit better. 
So now I can ask again, "What is your source for making this change?" 
|
Oh! I apologize for being dense. I get it now.
I bought it off BrickLink as a sealed Bag 2 from the 4841-1 set. It’s wasn't
*technically* a sealed set, but the car was from a sealed bag. Hopefully that
is close enough?
