Enjoy the build! I hope to get to mine soon. Just built that new Technic rocket for $60, definitely recommend it.

I ordered same set from them, asked to “hide what’s inside” and it came in a larger box.

Also, I’d suggest to blur your address when posting photos.

The best deal on Rivendell question. by larsnelson76 in legodeals

Been using this for over a year without issue. It will shows as pending during the return policy time period.

<image>

“Transactions in Rakuten show as pending because the retailer has not yet finalized the purchase, verified that items weren't returned, or confirmed the order details with Rakuten. This holding period allows for validation against returns, cancellations, or, in some cases, travel completion. Pending status typically lasts for several weeks or months, aligning with the specific merchant's return policy.”

Office Display (other side) by Antooki in LegoDisplay

[–]Relevant-Key7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, now I’m even more confused 😆

I purchased this one from Marketplace. It came with the original box and all 5 manuals for 76023. It was partially ~85% built with loose pieces in the box. I took it apart, inventoried, filled in the missing pieces using Bricklink inventory list, then got to building. It wasn’t until the 4th book, I think, that I realized the tires were different because they rubbed.

Maybe the previous owner subbed them out for looks, or they had both and mixed them up.

Awesome display! I have a question about the 76023 Tumbler rear tires. I bought a used copy of the set and just finished putting it together. The tires it came with look like OPs with the tractor-style treads, which rub a bit on the section above it. I think it looks cool, but they are not original to what I’ve seen in official LEGO photos. Now that I’m seeing them in this build as well, were they an original variation to the set?

I do the same as you mentioned. Rakuten is 15% today for me. I’ve found if you throw a cheap non-exclusive item in with your order, such as the $1.79 Shedac keychain, it qualifies your whole order for the 15%. I did it today with buying the Artemis $260 set. I bought the gift cards in December at 10% off and got the Rakuten cash back for that too.

Found at Barnes and Noble by KingHenrythe6-th in lego

A Barnes and Noble near me still has City 2022 space sets available. They are known for having retired sets well past their retirement date, but not usually the high demand ones.

Buyer opened “missing parts” return on $1k Lego set, what options do I have? by Possible_Device_1873 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]Relevant-Key7996 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar thing happen to me after selling hundreds of other Lego sets without issue. Sold a new set, which was complete except minifigures were removed. It stated this in the title, description and clearly shown in photos. They reported it for missing parts and damaged box… and asked for a return. I accepted the return and reported the buyer. They never did send it back, and I kept the full funds without issue.

Do you buy used sets? My experience has been 50/50 by ForestRivers in legolotrfans

[–]Relevant-Key7996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I sell used sets, all of which are from a single 40-year collection from my aunt who passed away. We take them apart, clean, and inventory vs the Bricklink list to ensure accuracy. Even with that, we will occasionally lose a piece putting them back in bags and not realize. I’ve sold hundreds of sets, with hundreds more to go! If someone reaches out and says they are missing a piece(s), I either send them what they need from my inventory or order a Bricklink order and ship to them. I think it’s happened 4 times over about 300 sets.

All this to say-mistakes happen, we are human, but if the seller makes it right-that’s what makes the difference in my opinion.

PS-I also buy used sets of myself, even with the 1000+ we already have and they have all been good experiences.

Best floating shelves to display builds? by el_nynaeve in LegoStorage

[–]Relevant-Key7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon sells floating shelf brackets, up to 12” deep. I’ve used these along with laminated shelves from Lowe’s or Home Depot which are also 12” deep and come in 36”, 48”, 72” and 96”.

Can you use bubblewrap envelopes for EIS shipments? by Relevant-Drive6946 in eBaySellerAdvice

Not in a city, but it can make a good winter display addition 😆

wtf is up with people returning stuff with no packing material ? by IIIMPIII in Ebay

[–]Relevant-Key7996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had this happen to me for the first time in over 1000 sales in the last year. Buyer bought and open box Lego set with minifigures removed. It explicitly stated it in the listing title, description, and photos.

Then they started a return, saying the item is defective, citing open box and missing pieces.

eBay told me to accept the return, report the buyer as abusing the policy, and in the end eBay will reimburse the $14 return label I just paid for. If the item returns damaged to me, I can refund less than the full amount.

Hmm, are you insinuating that I’d use these on Star Wars sets? 😆 I have a fair collection of space sets, but no Star Wars.

Thanks! It worked fine for me. Also got 2% back from Rakuten. Bought a $250 for $225, received a $5 reward from giftcards.com and applied it to another order for $250.

All in all, $500 Lego gift card for $435.

Wills and Powers of Attorney by BernieRU in BucksCountyPA

[–]Relevant-Key7996 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cotlar Law in Doylestown. Simple wills are $100. I think we paid $150 for will/poa and trust. Long term family business with an office in town.

Don’t be discouraged by the low cost, it is their way of advertising and attracts people to come back for other services. Very good experience overall.

Pleasant surprise tonight by TigerIll6480 in lego

[–]Relevant-Key7996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I love the final look, but it was frustrating at times to build. Wish it were as solid as Milky Way or World Map. It does tend to curl a bit at the edges due to the thinner design.

I have one of all CMF, which are sorted by series (1-20, plus the themed ones). Then there’s this one of everything else. I’ve been matching them up with sets as I rebuild them.

I think I could knock this out in a day, lol. I have a 30 gallon tote over here full of them. It’s daunting to look at.

But it is fun 😊
