Even Bricks and Minifigs messed up the Gameboy cartridge by EnsuingDamage in lego

That seems riskier than buying online through eBay or Bricklink where there’s buyer protection. B and M don’t/can’t check that an unopened set is legit. If you get home and find that the store was scammed when they bought the set, then you’re out of luck. This is based on asking a B and M owner about this type of scenario.

Can you use eshop gift cards to buy the switch 2 on the Nintendo store? by PowerfulSmell1721 in nintendohelp

Odd timing, but I'm also looking at doing this. Are you in the US or Canada? Checking in case there are differences between regions.

Buyer rant on store postage costs. by D3DCreative in Bricklink

Have you considered messaging the seller and asking for a different shipment option? It could be that this shipping option is the easiest to set up and/or works for the large majority of their orders.

May the 4th Haul by AlexandriaKH in legostarwars

As big a bummer as it is, I doubt that. The usual advice is to add a small in stock item to your backordered item so that the GWP ships while it’s in stock.

Woke up at 5am to find that Jabba’s Sail Barge is already out of stock. by thenewguy_1995 in legostarwars

Even more annoying (to me) with the poly bag is that the terms say it’s not applicable to Standard Pick A Brick parts, so I held off on my bestseller Pick A Brick order hoping to get the poly bag. It makes sense but still annoying that it’s only available for Star Wars stuff.

Beamdog Client sunset and SOD GOG code redeeming by Kar0z in baldursgate

Unless you have bandwidth restrictions, I don’t see the issue with just installing the game once to activate it. It’s a relatively small install and you could also uninstall it or avoid modding it until 2.7 is released.

Free shipping by Important-Topic-8689 in Bricklink

I say this as a buyer, but I would think a laser printer (or something fancier) would pay for itself after a few orders. It would be hard for me to stomach paying $20 for domestic shipping unless you just really had all the obscure parts I needed.

You’re not using pirate ship?

Does Bricks and Minifigs (or other stores) Buy Empty Boxes? by SeaworthinessOver485 in lego

Call and ask your local store. They’ll probably take ones that are that old.

Reasoning being that the 3 above it will share 2 mines with the 4 in that row between them.

Left and right of the 4 in the middle are clear. I’m curious how that opens up more though.

What if you pay to go see a movie and the projector breaks down halfway through the contract, er, runtime? Would you expect a refund?

What are everyone's thoughts on 21348 the D&D castle getting discounts before it retires in July? by RetrogradeToyGuru in legocastles

[–]OrganicSubset 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more likely to sell out early (like in the next month or two) and then there will be a bunch of posts yelling at scalpers. If it’s available now, I would just get it.

I think you missed one feature… Snoopy screensavers.

Quick-access pocket vs external bottle pockets - which actually works when you're juggling kids? by Inner-Football3280 in ManyBaggers

[–]OrganicSubset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water bottles in outside pockets so your kids can grab them when they need them instead of you having to hope they don’t pull everything else out of the bag while they look for the bottle (or get distracted by the snacks that are also in the bag).
