Forgive my ignorance, but when did bricklink stop using XML and CSV files? 

Next question, how do we convert it to a usable file type for bricklink?

I imported it just fine, it was one of the file extension options for import.  Just create a new Wanted List and import into there.

Confirmed printed element. 

It is a small production promo set like this that generally confuses me why they don't print pieces for giant $400+ sets.

Thank you.  I already had the wanted list created but I was getting hung up on the import function.  It has been a while since I added a MOC to bricklink and did not see the other option for XML.  When I tried to select the file itself to add to bricklink, bricklink just kept giving me an error message saying XML was not supported.

I also ran into a weird problem that I couldn't copy / paste directly from the XML file into bricklink.  I had to paste it into MS Word first, then copy and paste into bricklink.  For some reason going from the XML directly into bricklink kept adding a blank line between each instruction and causing more errors.  Least to say it was frustrating to figure out what I was doing wrong.  Knowing it worked for you kept me trying.  Thanks!

Yeah, the .bsx file was an option listed for me, see below.

It's funny how you can see him trying to force a smile at the beginning of the video (before the Hubble saves him from the effort).

People can always find a reason to complain.

With all this talk about the recent release of the NASA Space Shuttle Discovery and Ulysses, it made me think of this song from Jack's Big Music Show:

When you pay that much for a set, LEGO doesn't want to rob us from enjoying a full LEGO building experience.

Pretty nice for 150 points, ( back up to 650 now ).

nice! forgot that i redeemed one at 150. couldn’t pass on the overall yellow and red theme.

side note.. several people have posted a warning such as “only 50 left to redeem”. how can you find that out?

 

not sure if anyone else struggles with finding the vip redemption code in their email box.

had no idea that i could find it in my vip account here. jeez. i'm probably the last to know, but if not, here are the steps:

lego Reward Center > scroll down to Your History > Rewards Redeemed > you'll find your voucher code under the reward to copy

This too much work to redeem points. It’s pathetic. One time on my phone, I accidentally clicked on the option to redeem points for a physical store instead of online. It was a hassle getting it reversed. Took 1 month but was lucky enough to still get the set my son wanted.

Landed on a Sunday.

"Landing" is way better than "Crashing"

Made me think of this picture I saw on one of the Lego Facebook groups I follow. 

I ordered a Discovery like that and the shipping box was just the same; torn and barely sealed. I was lucky to have had my Space Coin show up and now missing out of the box.

Lego needs to run the boxes through the tape machine more than once or switch to reinforced tape for larger boxes.

Mine arrive perfect. Shipped with Holiday Camper Van and Mail Plane to get free shipping. 

Mine is in good shape too, even though I took a bigger risk ordering it with a Police Station

Yup, the Ulysses has 100 more pieces than the Yoda lightsaber (70% more). I'm glad to see people here getting them in decent condition. I ordered mine with some Brickheadz. Hoping it arrives in decent shape as well.

This is exactly how I ordered mine.
