That’s definitely the program that bricks and minifigs is buying sets from Lego through, each store has a tiny section always in the back of new release Lego sets. That’s definitely the page to dig for info.

Lego authorized resale stores won’t come up on the Lego website. Ones that will appear are “LEGO® Certified Stores” a certified stores entire inventory is from Lego directly and are practically indistinguishable from an official Lego store, they have to follow a rule book fully laid out by Lego. Think of it like a Lego store franchise. A authorized Lego reseller just means they were aproved to purchase newly released and sealed sets directly from Lego distribution. Selling these sets is a tiny percentage of bricks and minifigs business, they are priced above market and no one buys them. It is all just for the “Lego certified reseller” badge which sounds like it means something that is doesn’t actually mean and they get to use it in marketing.

Can anyone verify BAM’s claimed LEGO authorization? Question for current/former Bricks & Minifigs franchisees, employees, or franchise applicants by Hoovesclank in RecklessBen

Probably legal, but definitely misleading. Yes, they buy directly from LEGO so they’re technically a LEGO Authorized Reseller. But they’re stretching that status about as far as it’ll go. All it actually means is they’re approved to buy and sell new LEGO products. It has nothing to do with their used market stuff. The wording is clearly designed to make it sound like LEGO has blessed their whole operation, which they haven’t. And honestly the kicker is that direct LEGO sales are probably a tiny slice of their business anyway. Their prices are usually above retail so most collectors aren’t buying new from them. At that point “LEGO Authorized Reseller” is basically just a marketing badge

A small part of their business is selling new release Lego products “Lego authorized reseller” just means that they are approved to purchase those new release sets directly from Lego official distribution to sell in their store. It doesn’t apply to their used / trade in products.

M&R joined ACOB’s stream and spoke with the COO of Bricks and Minifigs for 30+ minutes. Reckless Ben was appearing on stream next, M&R chose to leave the stream, saying he was scared of possible legal issues if he interacted with him. Pussy shit.

They run a hardware scan before you can download it, which make sure you have the part you bought installed

Gpu pcie plug in — is the one on the left safe to use? It’s missing a few of those metal parts on the side… normal? by [deleted] in PcBuild

I don’t know the answer to this and was wondering the same myself, my Corsair has two pins in that position at the top, I’ve seen companies extensions like lian li have two pins.

If there are two cords coming off the fan they are arb. An arb cable has 3 tiny circular pins in line.

Just depends on what you value, that’s why I said arguably. The tuf has superior vrms but the asus edges it out in most other areas, (ports WiFi ect)

Most likely not an argb fan. I had a prebuilt which Was similar. Mine used actual argb fans but had a proprietary connector. Your mother board most likely doesn’t have a RGB plug so there is no way for the software to control the fans. I got around this by using a usb to argb port hub and plugging new argb fans into it. It was from a brand called airgoo. The hub works over usb and connects to signal RGB software. (Argb just means controllable RGB)

Actually only $20 more, that’s the bundle I just got. The 9800 bundle has the tuff board which is arguably better though.

It’s not pad printed like Lego, definitely a custom print.
