UCS SSD not sure if it is the full ship or just a slice 🤣

Under the current circumstances and lack of clear future why would you focus on anything?

Huge woot lego sale. Big sets. UCS. Going fast. https://home.woot.com/plus/lego-sale-1

Sending in inventory... not buying Of the shipments I've sent so far, I've already encountered issues with 20% of deliveries. Zero units found in a 3 boxes weighing 25-44 lbs, others delivered but not checked in for 30+ days... not eligible for investigation for another 11 days, etc etc. They are already in midseason form.

I have been noticing this Ktown Bricks from a number of LEGO YouTubers being mentioned. Uses official parts with custom pad printing. Their stained-glass windows and potions series are really nice. Very little on their YouTube channel but a few of the shorts show some of the pad printing process.

I get that Amazon wants the cheapest prices possible to bring in customers. Walmart does the same thing with its sellers. What I dont get is why Amazon and Lego are working so hard to squeeze out sellers. If all resellers just stopped buying Lego for resale the hit would be noticeable.

I bet it's a slice.

Even though the court decision specified fulfilled by amazon- knowing them they will roll it out to FBM too just to make FBM sellers also miserable.

The movement with the 3d printed train is pretty cool though. I guess it at least has that going for it.

Here around the 2:10 timestamp is a good look at the 3D printed tiny train and its functions. This would mark the first widely available set to include such an element while technically being LEGO's fourth official 3D printed piece I believe. 1st was a drafting table machine arm from a LEGO Tour 2019 set (New Elementary article with actual photos), 2nd a toy duck given as a gift with purchase to LEGO House visitors, third a pogo stick for backers of The Secret Life of LEGO book, and now this toy train. After looking back at how incredibly niche & rather sparse the releases of 3D printed elements LEGO has attempted thus far, I am not too worried of its inclusion here. I do ponder upon what this may entail going forward of course.

They didn't say a deadline. Everything will be ASIN based and will come in waves with different deadlines is the way I understood it. They also said if a toy has any "playability" it would not be excluded from the under 12 testing. Lego sets 12+ would not require testing Of course this comes right after the listing violation debacle where I still have 3500 units stranded. I have another week or so before auto-removal and my front porch looks like Santa's sleigh exploded.

Here is this channel's second display collectively showing off LEGO Town sets from 1985-1989. Additionally, here is the first layout with LEGO from 1964-1984.

love amazon customers, Maybe I should call the cops for the white bag and tell them i think its drugs,

Stopped buying completely. All FBM since November last year. I like the control I have over pricing and you never know what is going to happen to your product once you give it to them. Too many items become lost until maybe after the holidays and so you are stuck with non-moving inventory. Also love how during the last couple weeks of buying some items go into the transfer portal . . . I also still have Chinese seat covers from someone else's inventory still in my inventory from last year racking up storage and return shipping fees. Hundreds of them . . . Three or four cases opened each resulting in the same outcome. Items are mislabeled. Other than on the phone, they will not acknowledge that the seat covers are not mine.

Now Amazon getting rid of the "Collectible" condition, so it won't be possible to mention that a brand new, sealed set has a slightly damaged box. Great job, Amazon! I don't get many sales on Amazon...usually a few orders a week during off-peak. But my last order was two weeks ago. It's been so slow, I've logged in a few times to make sure my email notifications were still working.

It took 13 years and I just had my first casualty to the "brittle brown" epidemic of 2012-2017. Poor Bard the Bowman. I was organizing my minifigures, nudged his right leg, and it snapped right off going flying. I managed to save his legs, main torso, head, hair, & hands. However, the arms and waistline piece are dust in the wind. I took a handheld power drill with the smallest drill bit I had and slowly ground down the peg extending from the hip's middle part (circular disk area between the legs, the "groin" I suppose) into the leg piece itself still stuck until said peg crumbled. (Repeated for the other leg because that snapped off too.) I decided to drill out the stiff arms as well instead of waiting for either of those to do the same as what the legs did and/or crack the torso. There is a little bump at the end of the arm piece resting inside the torso, I started with drilling that bit down until it fell apart which loosened the rest of the arm to pop off mostly. The external section of the arm broke off while leaving some "armpit" in the hole. Once again, carefully drilled until that crumbled. Walked away with a couple abrasions on the inside of the legs facing the "groin" area (of which only really show up under a light) and no cracks on the torso anywhere. Not sure what to do next. I may very lightly smooth down the inner surface area of the legs and arms to reduce any possible grinding should I replace the hip & arm parts. Ol' Bard will be missing his hip printing and have little in the way of pose ability but compared to the worst-case scenario, I think he will be alright. Well, mostly. ....And now onto my army of fourteen Uruk-Hai. Nothing broken or cracked there, only stiff thank goodness. I just have a bunch of bodies missing their heads & hands in a drawer. ....Well, that last sentence sounded wrong. Anywho. I was thinking of picking up some plain dark red torsos from LEGO's pick a brick (if they ever get any in that is) or use some other dark red torsos. I mean, the Uruk-Hai minifigures are going to be wearing chest armor therefore any printing will simply be covered anyhow. Not sure about the legs; perhaps something dark brown. At the moment I am using a couple of the Hun Warrior minifigure as a new body. (Dark red torso with nice leggings that actually kind of work for the ork.) I am curious what other leg prints could work. So that's what I have been up to. General organizing, building some armies, and.... stuff.

Yeah lesson learnt. Need to refund ASAP 100%. You never know who you are dealing with... The violation goes away after 180 days. I got one before.... But I think if you get multiple ones it might be more problematic, I don't know, say if you get 2 or 3, if that will cause a deactivation. And it's crazy because it can happen from anything. Last week I got a complaint that a speed champions set I sold had star wars pieces inside. All my stock is 100% new so its impossible I thought. Then I realized, what must have happened is that someone returned a set to amazon and switched the inside, and then amazon thought it was new and original and resold it. They obviously arent spending time looking it over too carefully. And theres nothing we can do to protect ourselves...
