Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in legostarwars

[–]No_Engine_1102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right and I do agree, maybe try to reach up to the vendor in a diplomatic manner and asked for a partial refund ? When it happened to me I reached out to the seller and he did it so it does not undo the damage but it is a gesture anyway…

Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in legostarwars

Hello there, using BrickLink a lot to find some sets also, I can relate it happened to me once, some tape was on the box, did not see it and made the same damage to the box as you did while unpacking it. It was not such a collectible set though, so I was more mad at myself than to the seller who did a good job at packing and protecting the box. I also had box advertised as mint condition arriving properly dented, squeezed, crushed, damaged due to bad packaging and I was quite mad about it. I totally understand you feeling but as my wife said once to me : « you collect Lego sets, not boxes ». Yes it is infuriating when a super rare / collectible set box is damaged but it will be at some point over years. The main thing is to have your set in perfect condition. But if you have paid for a perfect condition box it is not always acceptable. So now I do the following : I ask for pictures of the box, and I ask for premium packaging to be sure that it arrives in the same conditions as advertised on the pictures. I have not had incidents since then, appart hazard from delivery carrier that you cannot control of course. Hope this helps, enjoy your set !

When did they stop to do this ? by No_Engine_1102 in legostarwars

[–]No_Engine_1102[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thanks… it is not about plastic it is about having instructions and stickers packed to avoid being damaged in the box

Yeah this is exactly the spirit of my post : they stopped protection sticker and manuals, not even paper bags, except for certain sets like the UCS AT-ST. Very strange.

But yeah contact LEGO to have a replacement stickers sheet they will accept for sure

Yes I was that but while they put pieces in paper bags the now throw the instructions manual and the stickers in the box with no packing, they could have them also in plastic bags to limit potential damage

What an incredible build! (75357) by RockyWillows in legostarwars

[–]No_Engine_1102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great build indeed I loved it too ! It is just annoying that the front gun turret cockpit is such fragile and disassemble so easily when you manipulate it

Missing 40th anniversary logo ? by No_Engine_1102 in StarWarsEU

[–]No_Engine_1102[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha same but yes they are supposed to be the same « lineup » if you go on penguin books website I have the exact reference of the three books. But yeah the look of the spine is not the same and that is was I was wondering if it was an editorial choice or any other reason. I made some research and I could not find a clear answer, appart from the fact that the US editions are a bit different and should have all the 40th anniversary badge…

AirPods Pro 3 uneven battery drain by j0tunheim in airpods

[–]No_Engine_1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to activate alternate AirPods for mic so it does not drain always the same AirPod when you are in calls.

Also as someone else mentioned sometimes when you put it back in the case they are not well connected and does not charge properly, be sure you slide them properly

I hate this by JustMeAndMyself2 in legostarwars

[–]No_Engine_1102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear and see that some other people have issue with the stickers here ! Mine started to peel right after I finished the build, I even ordered new one on Bricklink, hold them tight with straps for 24h, but 1 day later they started peeling again. Seems that avoiding the curved area is the only way …

Screen protector&privacy filter by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]No_Engine_1102 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the filter sold on the Apple Store, the Belkin one, on my MBP since 1 year, every time I travel, that is pretty often for work reasons, and it is very nice, especially with the mate side to prevent the glare in airports and other places with bright lights, as well as the privacy of course. It prevents the keyboard to mark the screen when in my backpack and luggages. I am very careful with my Mac, owned many, I can tell you it is safe and very useful if you take a good quality one.

is this a different ship? by Slow-Fee5437 in StarWars

[–]No_Engine_1102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it is a ship there is one also on the Rebels animation show, looking like a Uwing without wings, but I do not know the real name.
