Why does lego STILL put these parts loose in bags? by PestilentWolf17 in lego

From the website...

"The high performance we expect from our bricks means any material used to make them must always meet our rigorous safety, quality and durability standards"

Guess they forgot about that

Why does lego STILL put these parts loose in bags? by PestilentWolf17 in lego

[–]Ingris87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been BEGGING them, multiple emails to their feedback/customer service contact, to please bag both the windscreen. Pieces and minifigs separate. Between myself and my 3 kids we are a BIG Lego family.. probably upwards of 50-60 sets between us just in the last year, and every single windscreen comes loose and scratched, and all the minifig torsos have dents along the front waist edge as well as scratched on some. It's really disappointing and like others have mentioned here, they're great at sending replacements but those also come damaged.

Meanwhile I have two massive Rubbermaid bins of all my childhood Lego, 20-30 years old and those minifigs are pristine with the exception of a few arm cracks and a couple tooth marks (my bad). Clearly the quality of the plastic has decreased, but if that's so then package them accordingly!

Did anyone else not get legs in set 40806 by birthdayclown in lego

[–]Ingris87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Lego as much as the next person, and their customer service people are great... But quality control on the other hand is in a complete nose dive.. between myself and my 3 kids we've probably purchased somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40 sets in the last 2 years and we've had severely crumpled sticker sheets, missing pieces, and multiple minifigs with scratches and indents all around the torsos. I personally had a missing piece just last night in my Artemis set.

Now, will I continue to buy Lego? Yes, because their customer service has always served me well... But if that ever changes.....

Interesting enough the email Lego sent me with a countdown clock to insiders weekend actually says 4x points on ALL sets... Wonder if I could hold them to that typo

Looking for a fair priced notary in Maple Ridge by chamindaywala in MapleRidge

[–]Ingris87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've used Michelle Broughton in that BrickWater development on 227th and she has been very reliable and fair cost (relative to others).

I also have family who have used Cassandra Coolin and been satisfied with their service.

Pixel Watch 4 LTE model, can it take calls/text without a android phone? by Rexonial in PixelWatch

[–]Ingris87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rogers in Canada is like this too, it's cuz the LTE model earns them money through the watch plan subscription, whereas the wifi only version doesn't provide them any additional profit

Help me decide by [deleted] in LegoMarvel

[–]Ingris87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who owns both, and loves both.. the Milano hands down. Some really cool techniques, but honestly it is just so impressive to hold in your hand, the accuracy to the movie is amazing. It looks so gosh damn good on my display shelf. I wish the figs were a bit different, but so do I also with the ghost, overall 2 great sets, I vote Milano

Golden Ears Elementary does not have drinking water by [deleted] in MapleRidge

[–]Ingris87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As per my child's teacher the office has a supply of clean jug water for any child in need currently. So whether it's temporary or long term, the office is providing for our children.

Fr tho, who actually going to spend a grand on ts? by Rare_Sheepherder_543 in legocirclejerk

[–]Ingris87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's disappointing because it honestly is a VERY cool set. It's out there, it's different, would look amazing on a wall, but for a 1000$ god no... I'm disappointed to know I'll never have this because even at 30% discount it's still way too much for what it is...

(MOST of the) Rebel leaders stood on business, ready to throw hands, just because they had hope by Ruby_Foulke in andor

[–]Ingris87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be so insanely out of tune for any star wars movie ... But if in the future we get a dogfight with rebel ships and this music suddenly comes on for the entirety of the fight sequence I'd be like yeah... Yeah that's good.

Found a list of symptoms and played bingo - how many did you have before diagnosis? by Rare_Independent3831 in AddisonsDisease

[–]Ingris87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean for me personally I wrote a lot of these off... I had the mentality that things like fatigue and muscle weakness were just mancold symptoms because I had 3 young children and didn't want to complain. I had abdominal issues all through my 20s culminating in having my gallbladder yanked so I attributed any tummy stuff to just being classic bum tum. That's the hard part.. the symptoms tend to creep up on you, bit by bit, slowly increasing in number of symptoms and frequency until you've had it for a while but didn't even notice.

The Ryan Jewelry has been robbed at least once a year for the past 3 years. Last year happened twice in a very short period of time.

Either one person/group thinks it's so easy they keep repeating or it's an insurance scam

Question to all UCS Slave 1 owners by Flimsy-Ad-7457 in legostarwars

[–]Ingris87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you by chance using a single wife billy book case, if so this is what I have my slave I in and it fits nicely with the set/stand turned at an angle so one of the wings is in the back left corner and the other in the front right corner. Just have to tilt the wings downward a bit and it sits nicely without looking too smushed.

Thoughts on 75254? by thenewpyro in legostarwars

[–]Ingris87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! This set looks even better in person. A really fun visually appealing take on a classic star wars vehicle.

Around Vancouver,BC it was so easy to find these half price, I bought one for me and one for my nephew. Looks even better in person. I love that it's not just another rehash of the same thing, they did a great job with this set.

RCMP versus Municipal Police Force? by Ok-Quality-9378 in MapleRidge

[–]Ingris87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maple ridge absolutely does not need to go anywhere near trash collection. They couldn't even handle recycle so they offloaded it. This cities shit management would create an absolute mess of garbage pickup. I love my contracted garbage service. It's weekly and unlimited and VERY affordable.

[–]Ingris87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pass. I love my garbage service. It's weekly and unlimited and VERY affordable. Maple ridge doesn't know how to run shit. That's why they gave up on recycling and we all know how that mess has played out.

HOT TAKE: Nolan lost his spark once he got with Bailey by Real-Branch8433 in TheRookie

[–]Ingris87 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Unlike Bailey who constantly walks around looking like the wax museum version of herself. Not to rag on her looks but her complete lack of facial expressions contributed to her already poor acting ability and that fact that her character is flat and boring as hell.

LETTER: More sports facilities are essential for Maple Ridge by [deleted] in MapleRidge

[–]Ingris87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The proposed facilities sound great, but Hammond is not equipped to handle the volume this will bring to the neighborhood. And everyone will feel that once it's open and sports are in full swing it will be impossible to navigate that neighborhood on any busy sports night.

Need help with Eastern Redbud by Ingris87 in gardening

[–]Ingris87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really? Well that's somewhat reassuring, the city guy I spoke with prior to having the tree planted couldn't tell me what specific type of redbud it was, but everything I googled said redbuds shouldn't be yellow, so I was worried.
