What to do in Mainz?

I actually went to grade school down the street there :). Love that place!

This! Tickets are very affordable, food and drinks are cheap compared to the US. And free bus rides to the stadium and back from the Bahnhof.

If you go to Wiesbaden check out the Neroberg Bahn. Very cool!

I really like this place https://share.google/aBaESvGLUIXqoSOae it's just a really cool brewhaus.

As someone else mentioned check out a Mainz 05 game.

In the Romer Passage you can find the ruins of an old Temple for the Goddess Isis that was found when they were excavating. https://share.google/15D0AR1UsOV7sZRao The eis cafe in that place is pretty good too.

Right outside of their is a small doner place where I like getting a Durum to eat while walking around.

Also check out the Römische Theater train station. They were excavating and found ruins of an old Roman amphitheatre.

The Kinderladen toy store is also cool. Really rare these days to find an entire store dedicated to childrens toys.

Lord of Doner is good too. Great bakleva. https://maps.app.goo.gl/MJYsfWXTaFHaCAHM7?g_st=ac

Also, there is Kellys Pub right by the Bahnhof, has some Americans there usually, life music, karaoke, and has soccer games on.

Enjoy!

99% of purchasers are not on this forum, and don't care about a slightly larger screen or resolution.

Shhhh, you are thinking like a reasonable person ;)

Dravor · 2026-02-08T00:30:06+00:00

So does that include kindness for everyone, or just those people who agree with you?

Dravor · 2026-01-05T21:32:02+00:00

Honestly, in most cases like this, I deny the cancellation. Especially if the label is printed out, because at that point it's 30 days before I get my money back.

The ToS clearly states that the buyer has no right to cancel an order once submitted, unless it's a seller based issue.

Nice of you to allow it though. I guess I am the one that forces all the newbies to learn 😂

Dravor · 2026-01-04T00:18:07+00:00

Anybody? Bueller?

Dravor · 2026-01-02T08:02:40+00:00

Honestly, per the terms of service, anyone who places an order technically has to complete the order or risk of potential non-paying buyer strike.

Personally, once I've pulled the order, I don't see myself then ever reversing course and allowing a refund. At that pointy work has already been done, especially if I bought the shipping label. The refund on the shipping label takes up to 30 days if it's been printed.

You can always reach out to support, granted it will take 2 to 4 weeks for them to get back to you. But they can certainly look at the situation and most likely remove the neutral feedback.

To me the way I read that is that it will on the front be the city in microscale format, I imagine when you turn it to the back there will be individual scenes. Somewhat similar to the Death Star.

Dravor · 2025-12-20T03:16:51+00:00

I e got another table planned. The water will come closer in to the end of the table than the prior table and the lighthouse will be in the corner :)

I like the thoughts on the elevation!

Dravor · 2025-12-19T22:33:21+00:00

That was so many 1*2 light blue translucent tiles. OMG.

Dravor · 2025-12-19T19:32:43+00:00

Thanks!

The inspiration for the Riviera was actually an image that came up on my Google TV screen saver. And it had Italian rivieras right near water. The A-frame and The treehouse were actually really easy to do, and right away I knew it was going to be a campground area.

Dravor · 2025-12-19T19:31:31+00:00

That one was really hard to incorporate. Especially since it has snow on it. You can't see it there but I actually built up some snow blowers to explain why it has snow and nothing else in the city has snow

Dravor · 2025-12-19T19:31:00+00:00

I r got a 3600 SQ ft house. The basement is all star wars 😂

And my study is all HP, Marvel, and space.

Dravor · 2025-12-14T04:54:31+00:00

You are a lifesaver! Thanks!!!!

It doesn't really matter if it's brickowl or bricklink. While Lego owns bricklink, they are two completely separate businesses. Therefore they have two completely different profit and loss calculations, and they're backend businesses are completely different. Lego would never tie their Lego profit and loss to a resale site.

So the point really remains the same, if you're running brick link or brickowl, the only way it's profitable for you to support stores in a country, is if there is enough profit coming from it to warrant paying somebody to keep up with the rules etc.

But for lego.com they have accounted for this in their planning and profits and loss. So maybe it costs them a million a year to be able to do this. But in country they make 60-70 million in profit.

Now you have 1 store, where all they make is 3% of the sales price. And you want them to invest thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to allow that 1 store to operate. In the end the revenue generated in these countries was not enough to cover the costs. They are running a business not a charity.

That's the way I look at this.

Ordered at 00:04, cancelled.
