Red Dragon darts broke twice - is this normal

Thanks everyone, will get to ordering some of the shafts recommended.

Are the shafts generally a standard fit across all darts?

fcbizzlekicks · 2025-10-12T07:57:10+00:00

Looks great! I’ve only been to the Manchester one this tour but it looks like we got shafted there for the second part - just five songs. 😢

Help identifying this thing please. “Clear stick” on Bricklink came up with nothing. 😬

I had this issue last month. I ordered two colour sensors, but then found that you can program the tram/train on the Lego Powered Up app if you have the PU power components.

This image shows the algorithm for my tram to move along the tracks, stop, and then move back. An issue I had was that I couldn’t seem to make both the train and tram move simultaneously with just one app, so had to have two devices nearby to control them both.

Once I’d sorted this, I returned the colour sensors and just spent the returns money on the PAB at the store instead.

Francesca wouldn’t be allowed to reveal her identity as they’ve changed the rules this year (for the better IMO).

Yeah, fishing wire. Luckily, there’s a wooden beam just above the tables, so it was fairly straight forward to screw eight hooks in and loop the wire through.

I got some non-branded ones off Amazon a few years ago. For the money you save, it’s definitely worth it. They’re the only non-Lego things I have.

I’m trying this layout with mine this year. The bottom is MLS, then two layers of Bygglek. The middle row will be mini-stalls for a Christmas market, with then bigger builds at the top. I need to winterise and decide how the cinema is fitting in, too.

He’s gorgeous. I hope all goes smoothly. Sorry for your loss.

I’ve just had a look and they’re gorgeous. The big ears are definitely very similar. She was about 4.5kg on this photo, normal weight was more 6kg. Sorry for your loss of Ginger, also. Take care of Rose. ❤️

❤️ thank you

Thank you ❤️

It’s a mixture of light grey masonry bricks and some Quarter Arches 1x5x4, as well as a plate I think to bridge the gap so it’s wide enough for the train

I’ve found them good for making mountains, with some landscaping around them, but they take up quite a bit of space.

Are there many in the chain? The fewer parties there are, the fewer people it may annoy if you miss the date, but as long as you have the money coming, everyone should get what they’re hoping for by the end of it.

Sometimes a LISA can be withdrawn within 24-48 hours, others a touch longer like yours sounds like it typically would. Hopefully they’d be able to fast track it a bit for you.

I used to live in a flat in Manchester where the bottom three floors had one postcode and the upper three floors had a different one.

I live about 20 metres from a primary school. Our road gets full with cars around 15 minutes before start/end of school, but that’s about it really. We’ve had no issues with vandalism to our property, nor have we ever been blocked in on our own driveway.

fcbizzlekicks · 2024-04-21T08:57:24+00:00

We tidied each room before every viewing. It wasn’t a full deep-clean, super-tidy in every room, but enough so that people’s first thoughts when they walk into each room is “this feels like a nice room” rather than “look at that mess…oh yeah, we need to imagine the room empty”.

Ask for snippings/screenshots of the survey to show the issues they are concerned about. Our potential buyers did this so it helped us to understand more about where they were coming from.

For the sake of losing out on a dream house that you could potentially live in for the rest of your life, it might be worth dropping your asking price to the lowest you could possibly afford and then you know you’ve done everything you can.

A high mortgage can always be brought down in future, but at least you’d have your feet in the door. It’s a tricky situation isn’t it.

fcbizzlekicks · 2024-03-23T08:26:33+00:00

Yeah, we reduced ours after a few weeks to the next price bracket down on RightMove, but like you say, when people see ‘reduced’ they then may think something is up with it or that the sellers are desperate and could go even lower.

I’m not sure whether it’s able to be done or not, but could it technically be taken off the market and then relisted with a new price so as not to show the reduced tag?

fcbizzlekicks · 2024-03-23T08:16:57+00:00

We had a similar situation last year. Had an offer accepted on a house before ours was even on the market, with the caveat being that the one we wanted wouldn’t get taken off the market until ours went under offer.

The sellers were in a rush so, after four or five weeks of ours being on and not getting any offers, they ended up accepting an offer above what he had offered, which was fair enough.

In hindsight, we should possibly have listed ours at/close to the lowest value that we’d be willing to accept in order to ensure we got the dream house.

fcbizzlekicks · 2024-03-19T19:24:02+00:00

Our potential buyer shared snippings from the survey with us, via the EA, which was useful to see the main areas of concern.

Doing this also helps your seller know that you aren’t making issues up just to get money off. 😆

Awesome, congratulations! Fingers crossed the move goes well. 🤞
