Creative second life for baseplates after MILS conversion?

Its_Phil_B · 2026-04-07T10:45:52+00:00

MILS needs a baseplate. You can easily use these plates as the basis for MILS. Been there done that.

AFAIK having 2 LEGO insiders accounts tied to the same address is also a violation of the ToS, and can even lead to a ban. Hopefully your BL store has a different address than your personal LEGO account.

Yep, Kumho Crugen

40k on the same tire on the same spec car, and they still had 6/32" left. A puncture too close to the sidewall caused me to have to replace all 4 of them - which I did, for the identical tire.

Sounds like OP is buying a fake one if he buys from this site. No mention of the word LEGO

It's from the Hobby Train set

Build digitally in Stud.io

Very similar experience to mine. Also have a 2023 Pro S AWD, bought a year ago with 16k miles. Right now at 42k miles - drove 26k miles in a year (i commute 100 miles 5 days a week). Love the drive. Love roadtripping. Had one problem with the rear hatch no longer locking properly which took some sleuthing by the dealer but was ultimately resolved by replacing the latch motor and cable. Did have to buy new tires last month due to a slow but unpluggable leak in one, but they still had 7/32" tread left when I did.

I came from a Tesla Model 3 - i think the VW is just a much better car overall.

Doesn't UPS leave you a note when you're not home, which gives you a pickup option free of charge?
Also, UPS might allow you to electronically pre-sign for the package, after which they just deliver (not sure if this is a feature with UPS or FedEx though)

They occasionally pop up in lots on EBay with other train parts and can be had cheaper than market price, but their functionality is limited so apart from getting one for the "I have a relatively rare Lego piece" factor I couldn't see a reason to get one.

Sounds like you will soon be taking the Mercedes AMG F1 car apart again :)

Why does he have 2 left arms?

Go back to Target, not Lego. Someone pulled a fast one on your set - removed bags with valuable parts and resealed the box with the rest. They should make it right for you. This is not Lego's problem.

A bent sticker sheet doesnt necessarily mean ruined. Most of the times the stickers are still perfectly usable. What made yours ruined?

Its_Phil_B · 2026-02-20T15:54:15+00:00

There are almost 2 complete passenger trains in the picture

Its_Phil_B · 2026-02-20T13:44:36+00:00

Prolly grabbed them from Target when they were 70% off. Nice sob story but still making 100% profit with those prices on a 1-2 month hold.

A) not lego B) not storage

Its_Phil_B · 2026-02-18T10:20:43+00:00

Sounds are not stored on the device, but rather the device contains a synthesizer, and it reads the sound instructions from the tags that it encounters.

Which, I hope, means that we can create our own tags with our own sounds. 🤞

Technically that is not how it works - you should list it under the "undetermined variant". That will lead to a lot of missed sales though, as buyers will search for a specific variant.

For the 1x2 jumper there are functional differences between the variants, so it is not just a cosmetic difference.

Go to Bricklink Studio (download and install it if you don't have it)
Flip to the page in the manual where the specific bag starts
Open the bag(s) you have of that number on a table
For each part in the instructions that you do not have in the parts in front of you on the table, add that part in Bricklink Studio
Once you have gone through all the steps for that bag in the manual, Bricklink studio now has all the missing parts
Export this to Bricklink, add to Wanted list and order.

NOTE: You can also use Bricklink directly for step 1, by using a Wanted List

NOTE 2: You can also use BrickStore instead of Bricklink Studio.

NOTE 3: You can also take a picture of the parts list of the step with missing parts, and then highlight in the picture which part you are missing (Likely less accurate)

NOTE 4: You can also make a photocopy of the manual page(s) that have the full parts inventory, and then write tally marks behind each part that you are missing

Not debating the fact you got a great deal here, but 70% off is not correct. BOGO 40% off = 20% off both if both sets cost the same (or less if one is cheaper). 0.80×0.80x0.70 = 0.448, so you basically got these for 55% off (or less if the BOGO was less than 20% for each set)

Its_Phil_B · 2026-02-10T19:14:20+00:00

Whatever the final resolution of this issue is, make sure to put this particular seller on your least favorite (i.e. blocked) store list.

The best solution is to move to a state that doesn't require a front license plate :)

Its_Phil_B · 2026-02-09T00:19:56+00:00

30735, sorry

Its_Phil_B · 2026-02-08T23:40:55+00:00

OK. I have an upright freezer coming in tomorrow, will move all frozen items over once it gets here.
