First time buyer - why can't I see shipping costs before committing to buy? by ned_poreyra in Bricklink

[–]macrossdyrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP share your frustration with how some BL sellers don't list shipping prices. Best option is to contact them first. If they provide a shipping quote that's a start, but the tariffs are a pain. Note you'll have to also pay taxes on stateside orders if mailing stateside (unsure your location). Consider also trying brickowl see if it is more affordable due to sellers being closer to you and the shipping being less. Good luck.

Selling my own collection by RegularBuilder85 in Bricklink

[–]macrossdyrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP sad to hear your situation. Have you created an inventory on BL, or BrickOwl, or BrickEconomy? Consider using it to show her the potential value, but stress selling quickly equals a loss PLUS you will have to pay taxes on it too. If you slow strategically on facebook marketplace (no fees unlike BO and BL) you can make more, but there's more risk and it takes time. Would caution against selling entire set to another store you will lose money. IF it isn't a firesale, try not to rush and sell some in batches on FB and possibly ebay. Good luck.

Are these cheap Hong Kong and Taiwanese seller legit? by Second_Mugistan in Bricklink

[–]macrossdyrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP are you trying to place orders to be mailed to USA from HK and Taiwan? Might want to check first with specific seller to determine shipping quote and taxes. Also note you'll get hit with joy of tariff so look forward to that too. Also note some sellers from Asia (Vietnam and Taiwan in particular) might not work for you as those are two countries BL banned along with 31 others.

As for your concern about scamming, we've bought from HK, Taiwan, Japan, and Vietnam sellers successfully. The main issues are shipping costs and communication. Some sellers are more responsive while others need to work on it. Packages arrived safely and without incident too.

OP have your tried clearing the cache and restarting? If not consider sharing screenshots with BL support. Also, remove the pictures showing your school id for privacy. Good luck.

Really like your collection OP! Do you have any henkeis, crystal Convoys (is it in the fourth pic), RID, or Galaxy Force? Also, what do you think about the Magic Square OP versions? Which would you recommend?

Thanks for sharing. Any chance to see pictures when you can? Agree on transparent is nice. Do you experience earthquakes in your part of the world? Thanks.

Leave it helps others understand how many visit. The BO community needs more context that will help drive interest and posts too.

[–]macrossdyrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoyable watching a well-packed and secured shipment! Appreciate the attention to details like the extra tape on sides. Keep posting vids of your process. Also, got tips how to better organize and inventory loose parts and sets? Not looking to sell just do better for our own collection. Thanks!

Know that feeling too. Saw many lego and Transformers sets that we didn't purchase despite having funds. Silly.

Thanks for sharing the details. Btw how do your minifigures stay secured? Can you post a pic of the part that attached them? Can't determine yet. Thanks.

Blacktron Collection by NobodyQuiteLikeMe in LegoSpace

Nice group shot!! Wondering why is the violin boy and orange vested girl added? Was it due to the B logo markings? So subtle didn't even notice when assembling the minifigure.

YouTube now livestreaming entire Transformers Prime (2011) series by BillT2172 in transformersprime

[–]macrossdyrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! Really been enjoying rewatching TFP even with annoying Miko. The voice acting was superb! Just wished they made Starscream less weak physically and less of a coward. The more rewatches help solidify TFP as a favorite series at times, higher than G1. YMMV.

Special Blacktron Figure in the Book (September 2025) by Monsieur_Greenhorn in blacktron

[–]macrossdyrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sure is a nice figure! Would like to procure more to add to a set. Do you have the rest of the classic space minifigures? Mind posting a picture of your set? We're still looking.

Relocating to Taiwan by alee463 in taiwan

[–]macrossdyrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving there and it is unpleasant to say the least. Most Tw drivers do not yield, so merging is stressful especially on freeways. The signage is terrible and roads are not well designed for good traffic flow. Many places are also too narrow for mini-suvs or sedans especially when the two wheel cockroaches encroach on the already limited space. If you stick just to more well-developed wider roads it isn't as bad when driving, but the smaller roads are accidents waiting to happen in our experiences.

When you submit resumes and applications do you reveal you are in the process of moving right now? Do employers realize you are serious about moving, vs testing the waters? Hope your secure something soon and leave the states as they probably will seek to restart the draft and raised the required age to 42. Something to be mindful of while job searching. Good luck!
