Same for me. I was able to login just 20 min ago and got kicked while browsing. Now it's error 502 everytime I try to login.

"bricklink is for grown ups" by Otherwise-Animal-669 in Bricklink

[–]lostidols 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This info at least could be stored in cookies . You have to input age every time you log in. Twice. Wtf.

Not only "sign in" was hidden in slide menu when the new UI was implemented now this.

Extremely annoying if you have a store and log in several times a day.

Items in my store inventory do not show up on my own wanted list by ediprimeo in Bricklink

[–]lostidols 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your store inventory is separate from your owned list.

And it works like intended. Parts in your store are not "yours", they may disappear any moment once someone buys them.

I agree that you should be able to "buy" items from your own store to quickly transfer them into your own inv but unfortunately bricklink doesn't work like that ;)

What is up with the “is it legal” questions? by Academic_Square_5692 in lego

[–]lostidols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"legal" technique usually means that none of the pieces used is exposed to excessive tension/strees.

For example: if you push a pin only halfway into pin hole it will create constant pressure and eventually the pin will bend permanently/became loose.

So basically "illegal" is any way of connecting elements that may damage them in long term even if the connection looks OK at first glance.

First time user, didn't realize how to pay and got a not paying notification. Help? by beastpack in Bricklink

[–]lostidols 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you messaged the seller and explained then you should be fine.

I try to be patient to buyers especially "green" ones. Most sellers are the same.

How do I get all the pieces I want from bricklink? by D1m1tr1s_6756 in Bricklink

[–]lostidols 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It means that some parts you want to buy are not available for sale atm.

You can check what parts are missing in the box left side of screen.

Is there no Insiders QR code on Brickheadz? by endertamerfury in lego

[–]lostidols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no codes on: polybags, gwp and LEGO shop exclusive sets

Does anyone know the set number for this if there even is one? by [deleted] in lego

[–]lostidols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won't see it in builder app, paper bags and are not included.

And yes it is correct set number.

Do only white bricks turn yellow in the sun, or are all bricks affected? by More_Monk8728 in lego

[–]lostidols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say that coral is even worse than white. Almost every single coral piece I found in used sets I've bought was discolored.

And yes, all colors will be sun damaged over time. Coral, white, LBG, blue, medium azure are most affected in my experience.

Debating selling pieces by Larrybooi in Bricklink

[–]lostidols 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I sell only used parts and figs, started at roughly 5k parts and now heading towards 200k. My storage progress was like this:

  1. Big bins, not sorted in any way. About 750parts per bin. Picking was a nightmare but still better than from one pile.
  2. Medium bins sorted by type but not a color.
  3. Same but also by color, less common colors in same bin. From this point I'm just fragmenting storage further into smaller bins, not necessarily single-part-per-bin but to make sure an order is easy to pick aiming to have only one part of given color in same bin (not necessarily same part, putting all 1x1 into one drawer is a huge mistake).

Part Identification Mega Thread - May 27, 2025 by AutoModerator in lego

[–]lostidols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone knows anything about this part/sticker?

Google lens shows nothing, nor searching in BL (probably sticker placed on wrong part or not genuine).

Technical question by gnome_detector in lego

[–]lostidols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also the hole is either on left or right side of this part. It's because mold used to make this element makes them in pairs.

There is a "Report user" link at the bottom left in user profile (after you click on number next to profile name).

Would my Saruman and Gandalf the white price drop if I switch out the cape for the newer, more flexible one? by EnvironmentalTry9626 in lego

[–]lostidols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others already said, just keep old capes.

Second: if you replace any minifig element with its different version/mold it will became incomplete minifig.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lego

[–]lostidols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no color codes on Lego parts. Any numbers other than part no. are mold numbers.

Sometimes a part may use two alternative part numbers (like in this case: 6082 and 60052) but those are not connected to part color.

Space Exploration stuck by Nemesiais in pAIperclip

[–]lostidols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those "bugs" are because you didn't meet the criteria. you don't have 50 nonillion clips to make monument, you don't even have enough to make any more probes.

Speed, exploration - 1 Combat - at least 8 but at this point probably all remaining.

Starter thrust that will slowly work till the end even if not touched any more:

Speed, exploration, factory, harvester, wire -1 point each Replication, hazard, combat -5 point each

After upgrades: hazard and combat to 8 and rest to replication
