No, we need a martyr

135 units of Great Wall of China for just under $5k

My opinion is that if it couldn't be done properly, then maybe they shouldn't have done it at all.

Ugh, ads. I'm signed in and 50% of the screen real estate is an ad. Anyway to suppress that for subscribers? Otherwise the old app is better.

No unfortunately

No

Personally, I find this customization thing confusing. If I'm going to pay for fine quality oak, then I'm not going to cover it up with paint and a dress and all that nonsense. If these are truly handcrafted and I'm paying for someone's labor and care to make it look very nice, why would I cover up some or much of what I'm paying for? I'd like non-painted oak hands instead of the yellow ones and then I'd set this up as a display piece.

I'm always amazed by the X-Wing's ability to withstand the elements. They can get dumped in a swamp or ocean and still fly with no issues.

the return of the gingerbread house...

I recently moved and this was the only set I partially disassembled. I spent a couple hours each night for about a week putting it back together. I have about 8 pieces left over. They are going in a bag and will be stored in the Millennium Falcon.

Wooden lego is better than gold.

Holy ****, YES!! Gameplay Trailer.

Dang it. Totally forgot to use my Oct Rewards dollars. I’m so far removed from TRU Rewards I’ve forgotten how to operate.

I found an option to not show ads. Let me know if that is working. I haven’t seen any yet.

I had several large orders canceled earlier this year. Needed to call in to get the orders released and was threatened with being banned for reselling. They have a strict no reseller policy and I was told that they can and will ban you for reselling. That being said, they didn't actually ban me, but I'm not sure why. I bought like $7k of LEGO in 3 days.

What is happening to Lego, instead of letting their sets become collectible on their own, they are charging sky high amounts to kill the collectible nature of actual sets while remaking everything and keeping sets on the shelf forever, now they are making wooden figs and charging insane money to create a collectible. Feels like the 90's comic book era.

wish the hands weren't yellow

Did you clear out the data by accident? If you go to the data settings you can either clear it out or export it. You sure you didn't clear it out? I just looked in the DB and there are no records for your user id. I will see what i can find via a backup, but no promises

I agree, I'd rather give brickpicker my money, even though I'm seldom here, than pay Tapatalk directly.

Looks a little skimpy compared to the first.

Of the ~400 transactions this year (touch wood) only had 3 go missing all under $20 in value - 2 of which ended being RTS. In each case, without tracking any dispute I'm going to lose. So after a few emails back and forth if item hasn't been delivered, I ask the buyer to open an INR case - and I refund them immediately. The buyer may or may not be added to my BBL. Not sure WTF Paypal does in this process to earn the right to keep the percentage component of the fee.

Turning a profit, mainly.

Lego should make the Harry Potter line the new Star Wars line, and slow down the push of the Star Wars. There are so many sets that they could make into amazing builds. Quidditch World Cup, 4 Private Drive, 12 Grimmauld Place, etc.

There are two different buy boxes: national and regional. National buy box goes to the lowest price seller. If two sellers are tied for lowest price buy box goes to the seller with the lowest amount of NCX orders (absolute, not rate which is ludicrous - but hey this is Amazon). The national buy box is shown to buyers who are not prime members, or prime member buyers who are not logged into their accounts. Regional buy box goes to sellers with stock within same day / 1 day range of a prime buyer who is logged into their account. Regional buy box is won using the formula above. If you have stock in FBA in areas with no competition then no you do not need to be the lowest on a national level to win that regional buy box. But if you have any competition in that region, or want the national buy box then you must be the lowest or have the lowest amount of NCX orders if you are price matching. Make sure to test using different IP addresses across the country and also logging into and out of various buyer accounts to see the bigger picture. This is all assuming FBA vs FBA. FBA will win against FBM with higher prices (margin depends on the category).

Perhaps you might also reconsider your pricing strategy.

I may look into releasing an API for the community to build apps much like what Brickset has done. Then people can be creating and build apps for the site
