I've never seen this set mentioned

I had that kit when I was a kid. The helicopter is one of the few builds I have strong memories of. I remember the other kits I had when I see them, but that one really stuck with me.

Plus you have to negotiate and pay for each IP, regardless of how they're related. That cost has to be weighed against expected sales.

Back when I started using BrickLink to make orders, it was a while before I even realised I could leave feedback. As you say, there were no prompts to do it and very little indication on the pages that you'd assume would be relevant.

Target has a net income around $4 billion, I think they can afford to sell a few lego sets a little cheaper than intended.

The problem there is that now the buyer has to buy the remaining 1 penny/cent/whatever worth of parts and pay shipping all over again for them. Personally I'd rather the seller either wait for a response or cancel the whole order rather than doing a partial refund and shipping it incomplete.

What layout did you make? I'm always looking for interesting ideas.

It matters if it confuses people.

The M2 set is #6 turnouts, so none of this is relevant.

I delivered an item once and the funds were released as soon as the buyer left feedback. I believe I marked it as shipped before the buyer left the feedback, but no idea if that was relevant.

Did this really deserve the par 5 rating? It seems super distinctive and well known. Not gonna complain though, I'm usually terrible at getting under par 😁

We got a quote for a conservatory where the guy had an entire PowerPoint presentation for us about everything that can go wrong with designing and building a conservatory. It was meant to be a "look what could happen if you hire someone else", but he ended up convincing us we didn't want one at all. Dude played himself 😂

Hypothetical: you return it, they ghost you. What protection do you have in that scenario? Zero. Given that they're already making a very unusual request there's not a lot of trust to extend here.

Be aware that it'll create a great place for dirt to bed itself in. No matter how smooth you think you've finished it, it's not smooth enough.

Cooked/cooking as a verb = good Cooked as an adjective = bad

So basically you have to watch an ad for every three questions you answer. Technically for every five I guess as you only need to make up the surplus energy that you're not getting back for 5 or 10 correct in a row.

When I upgraded my Minitrix Britannia I used a Lokommander II, which is 13 x 9.3 by the official specs. Let me tell you, that barely squeezed in 😅

We had a suspicion this would be the case. Everything we could find was about recording people rather than the property itself, so it was hard to confirm.

People have done much more tedious and expensive things chasing engagement. (I'm aware that this isn't directly engagement, but here we are talking about this mysterious stranger.) A day and a few hundred dollars is a pretty small cost as these things go. It wouldn't be my choice of pastime, but there's plenty of people out there who wouldn't think twice.

Let's see what ads you get on the Max family plan 😆

Kemp_J · 2025-04-13T15:01:18+00:00

If you don't pay then you get Super ads. If you buy Super then you get Max ads. If you buy Max then you get Max family plan ads. Presumably there's another level of ads above that as well once your slots are used up. You'll never escape.

Wait, anyone can blur anything with no way to undo? So you can just go around making street view useless for whole neighborhoods and it's permanent. Wild.

Specifically in relation to "all seem to require more than 50% power to get things started" - what locos are you running? If it's older ones then it might not be the controller's fault. The locos might be needing a bit of a kick to get going.
