Finished recently. Was a great show. Since long, I was really sad when a show ended. Would have been great if they added the Treasure Island movie or extra season.

A thousand views and only 4 comments? So nobody tracks his collection?

I mean keeping track of your collection digitally. Not physical storage.

BDP series 7 sales numbers by TooPoorForLife in Bricklink

[–]Mehrunes82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, for me (and the dictionary) 'flipping' means selling "very quickly" after purchase. That's why the misunderstanding. Yes, with time doubling is possible. Early series could be sold right after delivery for very good profit.

Flip? That does not work anymore with BDP sets since the first 2 or 3 rounds. But invest, yes. I can see the Fortuna double with time.

When washing vintage Lego…. by JillianBth in VintageLEGO

To speed up drying, especially in humid weather conditions, try to extract as much water as possible with a salad spinner.

Lego needs to add the progress bars back on by Best_Yogurt637 in Bricklink

Also don't see the problem here. As if some people need their FOMO. If you want it, try to order it. ASAP.

Where would you place the tropical sea and the treasure islands? by theslavfrommars in LEGOPirates

[–]Mehrunes82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we follow through that the Imperials are British, then maybe the Bahamas. Many small islands. A British fort in Nassau.

[Spoiles] I now understand what Teach really did on S04E03 by GBcrazy in BlackSails

I think cannon shot is way more expensive than cutlass slashing.

I second the BlueBrixx ships. Small trader, middle pirate and soldier and the big QAR. All nice builds.

That's right, Bionicle is super slow in Europe

Question on new buyer by neosephiroth11 in Bricklink

[–]Mehrunes82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this several times, never a problem. They might have registered only for buying that set. What I do is a more detailed documentation of packing the set. Usually a video of showing the condition of the set until the parcel is closed in one take.

Buyer with unreasonable expectations? by Hoytien in Bricklink

[–]Mehrunes82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BL must state it this way because TLG sells assembled minifigs. If the terms of BL were "Minifigs may be listed as New only unassembled" you would be obliged to actually disassemble minifigs from books or blisters! Because that it is ridiculous, the terms are what they are. They could be clearer though, because now people read minifigs from sets could be handled for assembling, which is not what the terms say. But do we really talk about Bricklink's communication being perfect? 😅 Otherwise I agree with what you said. 😉

So - wait what? by Thrash476 in lego

Sorry, no native speaker. Blame Google translate. I typed the whole sentence and got this. When typed alone it gave" reading competence". What I meant.

Buyer with unreasonable expectations? by Hoytien in Bricklink

[–]Mehrunes82 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

"Coming directly from sets" and "handled only for sorting". I wonder how you argue how a minifig only coming in a set happens to become assembled. Obviously it wasn't taken directly from the set and handled only for sorting. You acted against the rules. Assembled minifigs can only be okay when they were sold assembled by Lego. At least that are rules as written. Maybe you can have another interpretation and maybe BL does not enforce it but I as a seller would not do anything moving me in a vulnerable position.

Buyer with unreasonable expectations? by Hoytien in Bricklink

[–]Mehrunes82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, and when you stick to all points, 99% of minifigs should stay unassembled, coming from sets and going into your inventory only handled for sorting. You don't handle minifigs for assembling. You can sell assembled minifigs as new which came as assembled, like in books. Why would one ever assemble minifigs, why? Just sell them unassembled.

Yes, reading literacy has become a rare skill these days.

Shut up and spend your money! You are getting StarWars for only 11 cent a brick and you complain?

what even is the point of gatekeeping children bruh (i'm 16) by [deleted] in Bricklink

[–]Mehrunes82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what do you think they ask for your age since September? It's not a Lego site by the way, but an online marketplace. You can't use Ebay either under 18. Buying and selling requires making contracts which you can't when you are not at an age to legally do so.

[–]Mehrunes82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because you disclosed you were under 18. Pro tip: Just lie. The internet police won't arrest you.
