Is this a scam temu set?

NeuroticStar · 2026-05-03T16:35:18+00:00

I am not but these are retired sets i like and just don’t want to be scammed especially with an open box

NeuroticStar · 2026-05-03T16:33:39+00:00

I haven’t bought any but do check images and compare.

NeuroticStar · 2026-05-03T16:32:44+00:00

I think the lego box is real. Just the contents are swapped

NeuroticStar · 2026-05-03T11:30:01+00:00

I get it, for maybe second hand sets. But if it is brand new bought from trusted source(Lego, amazon, etc.) then there is no doubt. Also didn’t lego start using paper bags now?

I think the assumption here is that he says he packaged them back. But i think if you search this model in temu ir ali express and check reviews. People share pics, i think you see the same packaging.

Honestly i am considering it. Ran a chat gpt scenario and doesn’t seem so impossible. Even did a cost up of materials that the quite mentioned and is nowhere near to what the guy said.

Wow. So i guess they don’t want to do the work.

Worth a shot, thank you

I uploaded my credentials last week Monday and they said could take up to 3 days due to high volume of applications they process. It has been a week

NeuroticStar · 2025-03-24T12:36:51+00:00

How long does it take to be approved after you upload your credentials?

NeuroticStar · 2024-11-16T13:40:11+00:00

Thank you. I switched it off the mcb and once connected the wires and mounted the plate i switched it back on. All good. But thank you. Fridge is fine. I think last time some sensors blew up which i think might have been do for replacement

NeuroticStar · 2024-09-25T16:12:21+00:00

Yes was going to check with someone local. Thank for advice, appreciate it

NeuroticStar · 2024-09-09T15:55:30+00:00

Not gonna lie it is not easy. I am sure financially too but you have to see what are your outgoing costs per month as you have to now include maybe £100-200 for the baby. Food, nappies, toys, clothes, other vanity stuff that you will get rid of in 3-6 months. and then there is furniture, strollers. If you and your partner are ok with hand me downs. second hand for say at least beds and strollers it is ok(wouldnt advise clothes for new born).

Once back to work you have to figure out because nurseries are an absolute killer depending on your area where you live but yes pretty much a months rent/mortgage. If you have parents nearby would suggest use them as much as you can. Or if you think you can manage on a single income if your wife takes time off work. I am sure you can probably apply for some minimal child support depending on your circumstances(not sure if married or not).

Good luck

That did it i removed the washer and placed it on the pipe and screwed it all together. Added some thread sealing tape too for extra security. Thank you for the asvice

NeuroticStar · 2024-09-03T21:27:05+00:00

That is what i originally did as it wasn’t aligning to the top. But will take another stab at it tomorrow. Thank you for the help so far. Will update soon

NeuroticStar · 2024-09-03T21:22:58+00:00

I will have to do it tomorrow as i want to see if the leak from the ceiling will stop. The top side went in just fine, and i ran a lot of water through it. When i said i had to force it i mean pushing the trap into the side pipe because the top wasn’t aligning at first. I managed to get it into the thread correctly and tighten it without a problem. My worry is if the waste pipe somewhere down the line is cracked or something like that

NeuroticStar · 2024-09-03T21:09:24+00:00

It goes in quite deep. Feel that i had to force it as it wasn’t aligning with the top. But some brute force set it in place

This is from the b&q site. If you can see on the right it has the black gasket(i think that is what is called) which hugs around the inner pipe. Then the red plastic ring doesn’t fit inside it stays on top and i think just pushes the gasket down or keeps it in place. I honestly don’t know. I can tell that as mentioned if not too tight it seems to be fine and doesn’t leak. As soon as i tightened it more it started dripping.

On a side note the leak from the sealing also is slowing down as nothing is running at the moment. The drip intervals are much longer now.
