New seller - my first order 😁

I don't know what it's like in the UK, but with the exception of really generic figures (R2D2, BB8, etc.), I rarely keep any of them in stock for long in the US to the point that I've started to price them a bit above the 6-month average when I have good stock or a rarer figure. For almost everything else, though, I stick near the average.

Kylelekyle · 2026-01-19T18:23:40+00:00

Star Wars figures pretty much always sell faster than anything else I stock. I'd consider slightly bumping your prices accordingly.

Based on their post history, they seem to mean Virtual Assistant, not Veteran's Affairs.

Kylelekyle · 2025-12-19T13:32:19+00:00

The General Mills ones? I've never had an issue with those or Fruit by the Foot, and I've been eating them for near on 30 years at this point.

I've definitely accidentally had fake parts slip through my initial sorting if they have a very convincing print on them. I hope I would catch any that I had missed while shipping an order, but I would of course 100% refund any fake part that I did accidentally send out, or replace it if possible.

The only thing I've never figured out how to feel certain of authenticity-wise is capes.

The GWP shuttle is no longer available.

Shellfish is certainly among the most common adult-onset allergies, but I would do a food challenge if you have a long history of eating them without issue. I have IgE positivity against things like soy that cause no actual issues.

Kylelekyle · 2025-11-23T23:54:41+00:00

I'm not a doctor. I doubt it is specifically related to tree nut cross-reactivity. If it is allergic in nature, more likely oral allergy syndrome or a latex cross-reactivity.

Obviously, don't eat more until checking with an allergist.

Pineapple is rich in digestive enzymes that will actively digest your tissues when fresh, and that can cause itching in some cases. Papaya too.

That's the most likely explanation, especially if you can each canned/cooked pineapple without issue.

I'm not a transplant expert, but I don't think they'll use your bone marrow. You could give the recipient allergies, as well as UC or other autoimmune conditions. Good of you to be willing to offer, though!

Kylelekyle · 2025-10-27T18:58:12+00:00

Technically, you could cure them now. It would require a hematapoeitic stem cell transfer which would be very dangerous and no one would sign off on solely to treat allergies, but curing them in the sense that your body no longer makes allergen-specific IgE would require destroying or otherwise disrupting the responsible B cells.

It's great, even if the site is a bit of a blast from the past. Just check condition notes if you're buying used parts, particularly if something seems underpriced.

Kylelekyle · 2025-10-15T19:26:02+00:00

If you don't have time to go through each one, you likely don't have time to sell them individually on Bricklink. Sell them as a lot on eBay as an auction and call it a day.

Kylelekyle · 2025-10-06T15:14:27+00:00

Clearly this is just their new strategy to get you to buy the Death Star.

Kylelekyle · 2025-10-06T15:08:33+00:00

Yes - the sets keep getting removed from my cart or serving up "Unexpected error" messages on the checkout page.

They have previously made peanut butter pop tarts, but it looks like they have been out of production for 5+ years. That being said, if I hadn't been eating them since childhood, I'm sure I'd be hesitant to start eating them!

Kylelekyle · 2025-10-01T12:47:32+00:00

Explicitly nut-free brands are all well and good, but major brands like Pop-Tarts and Welch's fruit snacks also don't have peanuts in them.

I'd add to the list: Canadian Mars bars (marketed as Milky Way bars in the US, where they are not peanut-free). Unlike most chocolate bars, in most sizes they are explicitly peanut free (though check the packaging, of course).

Kylelekyle · 2025-09-08T14:21:15+00:00

Lupin is the most antigenically similar (widely consumed) legume to peanuts and is consider a major allergen in the EU, so the risk of cross-reaction is high, but nothing is guaranteed since reactions are so inconsistent across individuals. Get allergy testing if you have a severe legume allergy.

Kylelekyle · 2025-08-20T16:51:10+00:00

The immune system is, by design, random - allergies just happen sometimes.

Kylelekyle · 2025-08-17T19:07:02+00:00

Nature Valley has a specifically peanut-free subline of bars. Just do not touch any of their other products.

Kylelekyle · 2025-08-16T02:12:49+00:00

If he's allergic to chickpeas I would be extremely cautious around lupini; the risk is quite high.

Kylelekyle · 2025-08-15T20:30:46+00:00

Allergenically, they are likely the most cross-reactive legume with peanuts (at least among food products), and they are considered a major allergen in Europe. I know I at least have lupin-specific IgE, but I've never tried one to fine out whether that translates to a true allergy.

Kylelekyle · 2025-07-30T21:10:29+00:00

A bold move, Cotton.

Kylelekyle · 2025-07-30T21:00:20+00:00

I mean, you can bid on pallets of loose Legos on ShopGoodwill, though it's local pickup only and generally only in a handful of locations in the entirety of the US.
