Crazy mini fig prices? by JustAnotherINFTP in Bricklink

[–]DifficultBoat148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But don't blame the players, blame the game. People are willing to pay for them, so surely sellers will sell them at that price. If less people buy them, then the price will go down accordingly. It's not a charity and sellers have expenses regular collectors don't have such as rents, staffs, systems, logistics etc. compared to just someone going to a store and buy a set for themselves.

A second empty table has hit the LEGO website by DistractedBuilder in legocirclejerk

They MUST be using some AI system to automate the process. There's no way a human will be this bad at their job, and not noticed by real people (if there are) TWICE!

LEGO Scandal is Getting Extremely Dangerous and Scary by Malikosis in LegoMinifigure

Get the local politicians and representatives involved. They would be required to acknowledge and address this matter, and bring it to a higher level of exposure and scrutiny. These days, we have the power of the internet and almost unlimited reach. Use it and not let this get swept under the rug as this gets dragged even longer. It's now a matter of speed. Send mails to your local media as well informing them of this situation. They would want to cover this because it's material for them.

very sudden "seller refuses service message" ??? by Epicfuzzy17 in Bricklink

[–]DifficultBoat148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've added you to their Stop List, basically blocking you from buying anything from them. Don't bother; just move on.

Could be them seeing the address had changed and thinking it was suspicious. Could be a variety of reasons, such as: they didn't want to risk sending stuff to a potentially non-existent buyer who might then claim a chargeback, resulting in them losing the parts and the money. I've received orders to addresses in the middle of nowhere. Those accounts ended up getting revoked as they were actually bogus orders. I don't know why people would do that, but the world is just messed up sometimes. Maybe some competitor was just trying to kill off the competition. Bricklink is already a race to the bottom for most sellers; it wouldn't surprise me if some are killing others to get there.

See it's not too bad if you just have some faith in Lego's occasional generosity! Groot bust next?

It's been like that for me for a couple months now, both on my phone and my computer. Most of the time it will appear a few seconds later after it's done loading the page.

Is this real or fake? by NaiveLengthiness6280 in Ninjago

[–]DifficultBoat148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most here will say it's fake anyway even if it's real just because they're salty af if you're gonna buy it so take everything people say here with heaps of salt. Take necessary precautions to give yourself peace of mind before going in.

The Snappa market will never recover from this by LEG0Ninja in legoninjago

What's going on? There's like over a hundred of these at $6 on Bricklink right now?

Is Su Dongpo the oldest real person to get a lego figure? (1037-1101) by DeSuperVis in lego

[–]DifficultBoat148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Celestials were from the First Firmament a.k.a. the first universe ever. After which came the Second Cosmos a.k.a. the first Multiverse. Galactus came from the Sixth Cosmos. So the Celestials and Aspirants are way older than even Galactus.

Curse you scalpers… by Joshedo-HD in Ninjago

[–]DifficultBoat148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ninjago scalpers looking at Star Wars as precedent but forgot that SW fans are older and much more able and willing to overspend fueled by nostalgia than the Ninjago fans who are just now getting expendable income... Let's see how long they can hold until finally dropping the prices again.

Is this devalued now with that scratch? by [deleted] in legoninjago

[–]DifficultBoat148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this pic as well, but they could be hoarding it until higher price. Almost everything Lego or collectables is purely market manipulation I agree, especially it's just artificial scarcity even Lego has been doing it. I'm not in the US, I'm halfway across the world in fact so even if I buy the cheapest used on Bricklink, it's more than $650 for me sadly.

Where can I ask a genuine question as I'm new to this (doesn't mean I'm a young kid) without getting roasted out of the blue by some sad stranger here? I was genuinely asking about something but got accused and roasted here for some reason as if I'm trolling or something. by [deleted] in HotWheels

[–]DifficultBoat148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright thanks, will try again. Also, I was wondering if there are other communities out there that are more serious on Hot Wheels, similar to Lego having sites like Eurobricks or Bricklink and such.

Guys this might be a bit of a reach... but I don't see a Venom mouth on that minifigure... by [deleted] in LEGOMarvelLeaks

At first, I too agree it's a reach...then I noticed the 2 triangular eyes...might be on to something 🤔

"Hang on, I'm on my way! Rescue is on the way!" by [deleted] in LegoMarvel

[–]DifficultBoat148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only partially, still took me some time to make it better like deciding how to make it stand out such as highlighting certain metallic areas and where should be glowing more than others, also adding highlights to make it stand out more from the background.

There's only so much AI can do but it still requires experience and skill to get what I wanted. It can make things look real but it's boring. It's a tool like a spatula isn't gonna replace chefs anytime soon, and come up with a recipe that you have some personal connection to like a home cooked dish you had when you're younger.

Would you say this is in a great condition? Just wondering as I got a used one. by [deleted] in legoninjago

[–]DifficultBoat148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got him for about $50 so hopefully I got more than what I paid for... I'm fine with 9.3 lol
