  Hey folks,

I have a 3144 with a partially broken prong. I attempted to fix it with MEK,
but apparently this part isn’t made with the same materials as regular pieces.
Someone then told me that it might be PVC, but I tried that glue and it also
did nothing. Does anyone have any idea what glue or chemical that I can use on
this part to make the repair?

Photo enclosed.

Thanks!

Super Glue?

MEK works on ABS, not that soft antenna part. Nothing really works on that.

how do you tell the difference between the variants? I have one without reinforced
ribs but cannot tell difference between pointed and rounded.

If it's an existing set, you can part out the set into a want list.

And if you happen to be on a catalogue item's page, you can just click here:

  Hello,

I bought 2 sets from a store and one of them was incomplete (it was supossed
to be complete). I've written the seller with a list of the missing pieces,
my email was read but I have no answer, it's been more than two weeks since
I send the email.

What should I do?

Hi,

File an NSS: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=110

will do, thanks a lot

Well, a month later still nothing...

Seller sent me an email after filling the NSS promising a refund. I accepted.
And waited. I wrote him again. Nothing... Meanwhile I received an email from
bricklink.

"Status of order XXXXXXXX was changed from NSS to Shipped by BrickLink Administration
on Apr 19, 2024 16:01. 

Reason: NSS removed. Proof of shipment provided"

WTF??! I said the order was incomplete, how can they remove my complain because
the seller show some proof of shipment?

the best part is I can fill a new NSS because it says the case is closed.

What should I do?

  hi all. how do include my current parts list in wanted lists?

Hi,

If you want to “remove” the parts from your Wanted Lists (that is, automatically
change the Wanted and/or Have quantity), there’s no way to do that on the website


If you want to “only” transform your My Collection into a Wanted List, you could
do that on the website… but it’s a bit complicated (you need to export your collection,
then edit the file to replace all QTY with MINQTY, then paste the file on the
special tab on the upload page…).

The simplest is to use a third-party tool, like BrickStore, to manage your collection
and wanted lists.
BrickStore can read downloaded inventories (like My Collection; there’s an Export
function to ge the file) and Wanted Lists (there’s a download button in the WL;
BrickStore can also download them for you) and it can upload Wanted Lists.  In
BrickStore, you can merge or diff your lists easily.

  Here's a very new item that has the missing or unusable dimensions for shipping
purposes problem.
 
Gear No: 5008818  Name: Coin, LEGO Star Wars Battle of Yavin Collectable Coin

Gear: Coin: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

This is an issue caused by the packing dimensions system.
When we approve a new item without packing dimensions, then the packing dimension
fields are blank, and everything is fine. But when packing dimensions get added
to an item by accident and need to be removed afterwards, the packing dimensions
fields change to 0x0x0cm. Even if we leave them blank and press "Submit Changes"
on our admin form they only change to 0x0x0 again - there is no way for us to
delete the zeros. The same happend to the two sets mentioned above (40608 and
40595). I guess the packing dimensions of 0x0x0cm override the actual (item)
dimensions and that is why it doesn't work with auto-invoice/instand checkout.

not sure if it helps at all in finding out the cause of the problem but a few
days ago i requested an item dimensions change request for that item

I thought I put these in when i put the weight in?

Item dimensions is the coin itself and packing dimensions is the box isn't
it? Looks like this has what I put in in the item dims.

no, item dimensions are for the entire gear not just the coin (unless I'm
mistaken)
