| | I am excited to let everyone on Bricklink know that Second Childhood has re-opened. After a bit of a hiatus, I am enthusiastically back in the world of LEGO, happily making new sets and selling here on Bricklink once again. We continue to strive to offer the best quality sets, parts, and minifigures at excellent prices. We are just beginning to restock and we will soon have a good supply of items on hand for our customers! |

| According to PayPal help:
There are no set up or recurring fees for using the MultiOrder Shipping tool.
Customers will only be charged for the price of the label. USPS labels are available
at a price lower than retail price on the PayPal Shipping platform.
We have not been charged any fees from PayPal for using the shipping tools. The
prices are at commercial USPS rates. As far as I can tell this is not changing.

| | Dear All,
I really appreciate your comments and input, most of which are both kind and
valuable, thank you! The intention is to be transparent, however I kindly ask
that in the attempt to be so, you all stay on the ball! Calling out any individual
panel members in a negative context will not be tolerated.
Thank you for your understanding.

With all respect, Tanya:
Telling the names of the actual panelists was probably not a useful choice. It
will only put undue pressure on these people who are giving of their time and
effort to help the entire community. A better choice may have been (and still
would be, as I--like, I would imagine, many other folks on the forum--don't
know who these panelists are at all) to tell us some general facts about them:
what countries they represent, what levels/types of BrickLink activity they represent,
etc. I think their anonymity should have been preserved!
Nevertheless, I am hopeful that good will come of this!

Reading that makes it sound like this is for Market Dominant products only (letters
and postcards). No mention of package services. I'll have to dig around the
PRC to see the actual increase request.
Announcing it on a holiday weekend, when everyone's attention is diverted
elsewhere.

| | Dear BrickLink members,
We are launching a new initiative on BrickLink called the Marketplace Panel,
the initiative aims to achieve an outside-in driven approach to decision making.
In 4 annual Panel sessions, the purpose is to:
- Ensure and improved prioritization of tasks (development, bug fixes, etc.)
within the Marketplace team, in order to reflect the needs in the Seller and
Buyer community as much as possible.
- To investigate opportunities for improvements to the current setup of the Marketplace.
- To pressure test new opportunities, concepts, legislative requirements, etc.
- Build future strategic plans for the Marketplace
To start out with, we have invited 8 Sellers and Buyers, going forward it will
be possible for all to sign up for Panel participation (we will have a limit
of 10 members per year though).
We have great expectations for this initiative and hopefully this is something
that more people will want to take part in going forward.
The first Panel meeting will take place on May 20th. We will be sharing minutes
with all of you after each of the 4 annual meetings.
The BrickLink Team

This could be a good thing. In the interest of transparency, can you tell us
how you selected the participants? No need to name them. of course, but I think
folks would be interested in knowing what kinds of sellers and buyers are involved
in this important initiative. For example: are they from all different parts
of the world? Are they representative of different classes of buyers? Are they
sellers with different size/style stores? Thanks!

3) I saw them yesterday in polish toy shop on shelfs 
Btw if star Wars Darth Vader Castle is treated as 2018 set so as these have the
same release date (1st of the December). I think they also should be counted
as 2018 sets then.

FYI, these have been available in the US since Nov 24. They were in stores and
selling on that date (I bought some myself and have been checking to see when
they'd get added to BrickLink!) Thanks.
