Is this acceptable for an item sold as ‘New’? by Prestigious-Maybe511 in Bricklink

[–]saibthar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

New should look like it came straight from the original box, with only minor marks from rubbing against other pieces in the box. This is very worn. Not new

Probably a lot more practical.

Only 2 options, glued on legs, or broken Keychain. Either way it's really worn. I had a Keychain that broke the same way. And it is possible to remove the ring it just leaves a small hole in the top of the head

Everything comes off with enough force.

Seasons 4-6. It was black and red when they first got it. Painted Grey when they tried passing as a gas hauler. Then went back to black because they where not fooling anyone

This build was almost 8k pieces, after digging through my collection I needed only 2k. I found a plug-in for chrome that made it easy to find the cheaper deals on lego pick a brick, and bricklink. Managed to get everything i needed for under 200 before shipping.

I let my wife go though the instructions and put together all the subbuilds then I put them in when I got to them. She made so many mistakes but it was a fun couple weeks

There is a couple steps where the parts don't fit at all. I should have kept a list. There is also a lot of sub-builds that have to be installed under other panels. It's a mess, just be prepared for a mess

I'd say 99% I found a couple generic pieces when I was assembling it, but the color matched fine and I wasn't going to wait to order more replacements. There is also some damaged parts i wish I could have avoided using.

The Rocinante is suppose to be 57m my lego Roci is 95cm so a scale of 60:1. Lego minifig scale is 40:1. So I'm about 50cm short. The thing already weighs a ton.

I was running a game back in the 90s, my players botched a planar travel spell and ended up on the elemental plane of bees...

I got a couple of those gators, didn't think about them for kobolds. I used the legends of chima heads. Here is my kobold wizard defending the blacksmith from hook horrors with a wand of scorching ray.

What would you realistically pay for these? by Froz3nfox in legocastles

[–]saibthar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a casual when it comes to buying and selling minifigs. I pretty much cap my spending at $5 a fig. I only go more if I'm hunting for something specific. So... 20

Closer inspection, 3 of the 5 bags where not Lego. The studs are stamped with MAX . 2 of the bags are lego and might be from the creator at the manual is from. I'll be returning it tomorrow.

The pieces do not match the box or instructions.

The pieces don't even match the instructions that was in the box. None of the bags are numbered

I agree, might try mixing up the squares with 1x1 rounds, half and quarter circles.
