Yeah China or maybe people who do 3-D printing sort of stuff. I ordered a set of Final Fantasy VII minifigures from someone on Mercari a few years ago and that is exactly how they showed up.

Oh wow, thought you were just messing around. I didn’t even consider the arms were all off. First time I’ve ever seen stuff like this. I was thinking it was from some kind of promo.

Same, I'm also looking for a Bower for my personal collection. I'm anticipating some opportunities to get it on sale this fall before retirement.

SOB, missed them. Wanted a bowser.

Thanks. Looks like most good ones are sold out. Dang. The NASA rover was a good deal at 35% off. Is this set getting discontinued this year?

Not sure what “lego” set they are from but they are 100% counterfeit, look at the arms.

Thanks for sharing! To use Woot one must have Amazon PRIME account correct? EDIT.. I was incorrect. Prime membership is NOT required. Prime members get free shipping. A Deku tree would only be $6 to ship to me without Prime membership.

Mucho lego on da Woot tonight. Mostly 20-30% off. Some unexpected ones like X-mansion, Deku, Bowser, Classic Batmobile. Check it out. https://home.woot.com/plus/legos-3

Ok, let me rephrase. What Lego set are these from?

China

These bags were found in a big tub of Lego a parent was throwing out. Anyone have a clue?

I don't really stress about brand new buyers anymore. As noted everyone starts at 0, and there aren't really good options for avoiding them in Buy It Now listings anyway. The scammers I run into tend to have accounts 3-6 months old with positive feedback already received.

A channel I have been following for a while but never mentioned is Ben Cossy. He showcases various MOCs primarily of the Bionicle/Hero Factory nature. Sometimes mentions new parts and possible usages akin to The New Elementary blog from years ago. At least worth a browse for the inspiration even if Bionicle isn't your bag.

All of mine shipped UPS rather than lightning ship and I’m not looking forward to the “whack-bang” from UPS that tells me the package has arrived.

Hmm, a little more banged up than usual.

Brand new buyers are tricky. On 1 hand, everyone starts from 0. On the other, they might be scammers. It really boils down to if you can stomach losing $130 as "costs of doing business".

Waiting for my Wild West Train to arrive. I missed out on the Siege Encampment and Medieval Seaside Market (was stuck at work late)....aiming to try to find these for a reasonable price on FB Marketplace.

Here is a set that I will probably never build but I am a Sleepless Night completionist 🤣

Just received an ebay order ($130) from a buyer who created an account same day as placing order. Should I be concerned or any extra steps I should take to be cautious? To add, I always seem suspicious when an order comes in middle of the night. This one was placed at 1:52am for the location it's going to.

Thank you very much for the tip. It took a while to find it but it turned out to be a $50 gift card for me>

that's why i report every return that is fraud
