  3. My Wally had the small QRs, so I had no other choice than to take one for the team and dust off the old college scale... Ah, the things I do for anything related to Castle lol. I set up shop right on the shelf and proceeded to go through 30+ boxes (Week 42) only to find out that someone had already penetrated the boxes with that micro camera. I assumed they were going for the Goatherd and didn't give up because I'd be cool with the Vampire Knight. I found 3 that weighed "19.94 grams" and pulled the trigger. To my surprise, I hit the jackpot and got 3/3 Goatherds. I guess the other guy was in it for the Vampire Knight. Today when I took the pics, they all ended up weighing "20.00 grams" or "20.05 grams". What's interesting is that I received the Vampire Knight directions instead of the Goatherd?

  6. Not saying a thing about the scale or the "penetrated' boxes, but those instructions are the same in every box, they only provide them for figs that require some more "advanced" assembly. I need more goats for the soon to be released Medieval Market but not sure if I will bring my scale to the store, hope to find some that or scannable, but the endoscopy is pushing it for me.

  7. What is the question? Yes, they give you a flat credit. Sometimes it exceeds actual shipping, most of the time it is less. Factor that into your pricing.

  8. Looks to be a GWP, the world can go back to spinning, unless it is with $250 buy in and Ninjago sets only https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/micro-ninjago-city-40703

  9. Received my Series 25 order from MinifiguresPlus yesterday. Kudos to them for their excellent service, as always. Here are my findings from sorting through these: - both boxes had European production codes - the Data Tag scanning (using the Brave browser on Android) worked great and gave perfect matches. - Somehow, each box of 36 had ~5 minifigures in it with the small tag, so I couldnt use the data tag to identify them. - I used my precision scale to weigh the packages, but weights didnt line up with weights published on the internet (Jay's brick blog or Reddit). Looking at relative weights I was able to pick out a few boxes that I was quite sure were Goat Herders, but that only allowed me to identify 5, not the full complement of 6. The other boxes had very similar weights, and even scanning the weight of data tag identified figures gave quite the range of weights (e.g. the Harpy had most boxes in the 17.5-17.7g range, but one was 17.3g :-/) - Finally took the plunge and used my heat gun to give one of the bottom side flaps a short (5-10s) burst of hot air. This was enough to melt the glue so I could peek inside and then stick the flap back to make the box reseal itself without any trace. Turns out the distribution of figures in my 2 boxes was not ideal (and sadly for me, I have one less goat than expected - my main driver to buy 2 boxes) :-( Here is what I got: - 6 of each figure, except: - 5 Vampire Knights - 5 Goat Herders - 7 Mushroom sprites - 7 Harpies I thought the heat gun trick was pretty neat - hope others have better distributions and can use my tricks above to identify theirs.

  10. 1 sticker across multiple parts that is horrible or SC 3 stickers in a row that must be aligned near perfectly? In other news I finished Box 1 of 3 of Titanic which is approximately only 25% of the build, 12 bags. I made 3 mistakes, 2 minor that I fixed on the next step or 2, but one that required a thorough revisiting and deep thought, luckily not much rebuild though. I have become dependent on the iPad building app with the 3D rendering which takes all of the guess work out of the equation. Unfortunately, for this set only the PDF is available so I am using the paper instructions and figuring out where some of the elements go is not intuitive at times. So far only 2 missing elements that don’t interfere with the build. I might change up and build the Disney 100 Movie Camera and Disney Icons Villains sets between boxes to enjoy the voyage of the Titanic more. I have the Captain CMF ready to go for display.

  12. Your obligation is over once your packages arrived at eBay's Global Shipping Center. I love international eBay sales. Always someone else's problem.

  13. One more for the car collection: 8674 Ferrari F1 1:8 Got it through a surprise acceptance of a lowball EBay offer. Needed a good clean, has all the stickers though it must have stood near a heat source on one side as the stickers on that side are crumbling. Placed 2 orders for replacement parts which includes some of the stickered panels. Total cost including shipping and tax $205. Last one of the affordable big F1 cars ... there are three more on my list but they are all in the $300+ used category. Two gripes about technic sets from the mid 2000s ... 1) STAMPs 2) instructions are condensed which is great, but they often include a few pieces randomly added in different areas of the build without any indication except for being shown in the little parts box. Frustrating for people like me who built LEGO sets in the late 70s early 80s who do not look at those parts boxes (because there were none in those days). Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk
