  Hi all,

I have photos for the stickered parts for set
 
Set No: 76155  Name: In Arishem’s Shadow
* 
76155-1 (Inv) In Arishem’s Shadow
477 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2021
Sets: Super Heroes: Eternals
that I want to add to the catalogue, however I'm not familiar with the Eternals
movie, so not too sure how to describe the patterns.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Steve

These are tricky! According to online: "Arishem is a being made of pure cosmic
energy..." So, I would describe the pinkish stuff as energy veins and the
rest as muscles/sinew.

The sand green one is from a Deviant Bat similar to this one:

 
Part No: 11477pb129  Name: Slope, Curved 2 x 1 x 2/3 with Dark Red and Dark Turquoise Skin Pattern (Sticker) - Set 76145
* 
11477pb129 Slope, Curved 2 x 1 x 2/3 with Dark Red and Dark Turquoise Skin Pattern (Sticker) - Set 76145
Parts: Slope, Curved, Decorated

Good luck!

No, it's a question of excessive number of queries, server load, etc.
See BL Terms?

I guess if it's minor, your IP will be unbanned tomorrow after BrickLink
midnight 00:00 EDT, in 5+ hours.

He was blocked a month ago, why do you think tomorrow will be the magic day he
can get back on the site?

Is there a reason for doing that?

If he buys a lot then I suppose it least favorites open stores that have prices
over the average so that the Easy Buy page works better for him.

In one photo on the catalog they look orange. When you click the photo, they
look Nougat. I placed an order recently from a fellow Canuck, and received arms
that definitely looked more orange than nougat. Is this a known issue?

I've illustrated the issue with this crappy photo, but you see what I'm

-Todd

The lighting is bad, but they look like they could be nougat hands and medium
nougat arms or light nougat hands and nougat or medium nougat arms. It is a good
idea to photograph and compare them to something where you know the colours are
correct.

  Over a month ago, Bricklink blocked us from their website, because we were taking
statistical data from the store ranking list to put on our personal excel spreadsheets.
We have sent multiple emails to Bricklink, asking to resolve this issue and
we have yet to receive any replies to our requests. Also, our service provider
cannot change our IP address and resetting our router also does not change our
IP. We need this resolved soon. Does anyone know how we can contact Bricklink
by phone, or how we can fix this problem?

I would start by reading the TOS you agreed to when you signed up on the site.
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/terms_of_service.page
Pay particular attention to Section 17.

I have gotten 1 minute blocks back when I was least favoriting 10,000 stores
(at 9,653 right now), because I was loading stores so fast.

If this has been going on for a month, the problem isn't going to fix itself.
You must have been doing some hard scraping to where the site considered it a
DDOS attack.

I would not repeat this behavior in the future. The API is provided, learn how
to use it.

Here are 5 options. This isn't even a full list.

1.) Send endless emails letting Bricklink staff know you were abusing their site.
Probably doesn't matter because you are unlikely to get a response that solves
your problem.

2.) Change your IP address. If your router doesn't have this feature, buy
another router.

3.) Request your provider change your IP address. You didn't try hard enough.


4.) Switch providers.

5.) Use a VPN with coupon for $25-$30 US a year ($2 a month).

Youtube and Google are your friends.

has light nougat hands, nougat arms, and medium nougat hair. I have
one of him on my desk, holding a dark nougat wand.

Nougat is a pretty orange color, but I don't think you'd mistake them.

Are those nougat hands? They look more like light nougat, but all of this is
very hard to tell on a camera phone.

I assume they were blocked from using the API. They still have buying and selling
privileges.

Oh OK, but then, did they read the API Terms?
I'd say no.

I've had reasons to contact BL in the past, and found it near impossible
to contact anyone who actually works for BL. They want you to use the "Community"
resource, good luck. (credit where credits due, the "Community" does
help sometimes, just a bummer to rely on complete strangers for technical BL
help instead of the company, but that's what it is.)

Firstly, I apologize for the trouble.

I added a Set by mistake to "parts" , and I was hoping someone could

Thank you for your support.

and my BL emails prove I sold about 6 weeks ago, but appeared in a new order.
I know it's an error listing because the Retain Lots was NOT enabled and
pretty much 100 percent of my inventory items have Retain Lots turned ON.

Wasn't the update just a few nights ago? That is usually the pre-cursor
to this type of problem cropping up.

Already said: do you have recent invxml.txt files downloaded and timestamped
to check and compare?

Or BrickStore files?

If not, it's very possibly an human error, or a inventory sync in between
platforms?


I could verify 2 BrickLink cases where it increased our Inventory of a lot in
almost 5 years. So 2 in 48hrs, sur that can happen, but far more probably something
else.

I see in your inventory you have many items with bulk x4 and x20, could it be
that when listing this item you wanted to put x20 and typed 10 instead?

You can download Brickstore and sort your inventory by the retain column to see
if all items are changed, do you use any other software?

I have been doing a massive switch from one type of storage to another, doing
inventory in the process. I was missing about a fifth to a quarter of my stock.
I never saw anything weird during the great BrickLink hack of 2023. I changed
my password etc. it's bizarre though, entire lots missing, thousands of pieces.

this happens to me too much. Always happens in groups, like they backed up our
inventory from an old database.


Recently, BL sold a torso I never had listed. I thought perhaps I had imputed
it accidentally, apologized to the customer, and made sure I did not have any
more in my inventory. This was some odd/rare torso in a non existent color.

a few days later, bl sells it AGAIN. Same song and dance.

It sold yet a third time.


The orders were not cancelled, just given credit for the "missing" part,
so I have no idea how it kept getting put back in my inventory and selling over
and over when it was never in my inventory to begin with.

I've had this happen about 1-2 times a year but always figured I was at fault
even though it didn't seem that way, after the whole recent fiasco I don't
think its me.

Haha yes!

I'm actually more shocked these days when I can't remove a stain, between
acetone, alcohol and H2O2 and the fabulous magic eraser (do not use on lego though,
I've learned the hard way you can see the scratches)

The disinfectant wipes, doesn't have to be lysol, work. They also take the
stickiness off if removing stickers. Or hand sanitizer (alcohol?).

While I'm sure your answer was covered by the others...

#1 There is a reason BL has the review section when you post new items. Its
good to review it before you blindly click. I've caught a few fat finger
typings during my listings.

#2 If you use the radio button for sales options be sure you ABSOLUTELY know
what your doing before hand and After you are done with the sale and review your
items again.

#3 Its always good to review your stuff every few months. Just to be sure.

Outside of that some have claimed over the years we have gremlins. While I know
these Gremlins exist, in all my time here I have never seen something magically
change until it was something I did via 1-3 listed above.


Cheers

Gremlins were, but not with the prices, but with the number of items, with onsite
payments, more items were returned to the warehouse than there actually were.
If the system evaluated these onsite payments as not executed, the items from
the warehouse were not written off, but the order in the deposit was then added
to them, so when someone then bought items to zero, I had 2x more than the actual
amount after such an unexecuted order. It happened to me with several orders
and quite large ones, when my warehouse suddenly grew by several thousand items
without me doing anything. But that was 2 years ago and luckily I haven't
registered anything like that since then.

I do know that qt# are one of those Gremlins but with my Store being small I
caught the few times it happened or before the order got processed to deal
with it. While I have NO way to prove it. I suspected a few years ago it was
tied to the Tier Pricing. almost like each tier could have been adding to the
inventory. When I worked the math it didn't make sense so I didn't bother
digging further and just always redid inventory checks every few months against
a previous qt count of the higher bulky items.

As the others said, there's no built-in way to check, but that's one
of the things BrickStore is excellent for - just one click to backup your stock;
do it regularly, and you have offline copies of everything to verify in case
of problems!
Anyway, don't fret too much, I don't think there's anybody here who
never had problems to learn from, welcome and enjoy your time on Bricklink!

First thing: buy from another seller to get positive feedback (all feedback is
transactional on BrickLink). Once you have a positive feedback you can convert
your account to a seller account.

Then you'll be asked to submit documents for verif

cation.

It sounds like you may have just entered the wrong price, I once bought a minifigure
for 15p and the seller messaged me saying they meant to put £15 and cancelled
the sale because they messed up.

While I'm sure your answer was covered by the others...

#1 There is a reason BL has the review section when you post new items. Its
good to review it before you blindly click. I've caught a few fat finger
typings during my listings.

#2 If you use the radio button for sales options be sure you ABSOLUTELY know
what your doing before hand and After you are done with the sale and review your
items again.

#3 Its always good to review your stuff every few months. Just to be sure.

Outside of that some have claimed over the years we have gremlins. While I know
these Gremlins exist, in all my time here I have never seen something magically
change until it was something I did via 1-3 listed above.


Cheers

There are a handful of times I questioned the price at which someone purchased
something from me. They seemed lower than what I would have wanted. You can't
get that data after the fact, but what you can do for future instances, is mark
everything in your inventory to "retain items after being sold out" (or
whatever it's called). It's in your inventory page at the bottom. This
will preserve that item with a zero quantity in your stock room at the original
price.

Turns out my issue was inadvertently having items on sale (like I put all black
and orange items on 50% sale when the Bengals went to the Super Bowl, but I didn't
realize that included my Darth Vaders. So I sold out of nearly all of them in
a day.) or when I would upload a new parted out set using the NEW price, not
realizing that the newly updated prices were 15% lower than a year prior.

It's way more likely you fat fingered a typo on the price than a glitch.

There is nowhere to confirm, other than the order. I'm not saying a glitch
is impossible, but there is no normal, intended way for a customer to buy something
at a lower price than you listed. The most likely scenario is that you entered
a different number than you intended.

  Hello,

I would need some helo please.

Is there by chance a possibility to change more remarks in the store inventory
at once?

For example, the remark "box 1" (50 lots) needs to become "box 100".
So I am not willing to change one by one these 50 remarks. This will take me
ages to do so for the whole inventory (nearly 19k lots)...

Can I change the 50x remark "box 1" to "box 100" at once?

Thank you in advance

First thing: buy from another seller to get positive feedback (all feedback is
transactional on BrickLink). Once you have a positive feedback you can convert
your account to a seller account.

Then you'll be asked to submit documents for verification.

Hi,

The one time code depends on “your machine” and is only valid for a month.
“Your machine” is identified by several supposedly invariable data (I don’t know
what BL is using).  If you used another browes, or if the cookies were deleted,
or if the month is out, then you need a new OTC.  Updating your OS and/or your
browser may also change the identity of “your machine.”

Some people have deactivated the OTC because they were asked for it too often
(the identifying data isn’t ‘invariable’ enough in their cases).

As others have said, magazine promotions. They switched over to paper bags in
2022.
Germans and Poles seem to have the most.

I suspect there are a few sellers who have the hookup to where they buy up all
the unsold magazines (or raid a dumpster/pay a worker where they are being thrown
away) for the minifigs.

They could be buying retail, but I find it hard to believe they are picking up
1000 of the same set by visiting stores and paying retail price.

In the US, LEGO has produced promotional figures that come with DVD/Blu-ray (LEGO
movie, superheroes), and I have recently seen small children's books that
include a minifigure at Dollar General.

Magazines; and they're not cheap (at least not in Canada).

Yep - they appear to be primarily available in Europe for some unknown (I presume
licensing) reason.

Nowadays the foil packs are actually paper though. The mags themselves can be
picked up in most newsagents and supermarkets in the UK for around £5. Themes
include Batman, Star Wars Jurassic World, Ninjago, City etc.

Thanks for the help. That clears it all up!

Hi,

The problem would be a old part number (due to a renaming or a merge)… and there’s
no way to correct that on the website

I think BrickStore could be able to automatically correct your XML file… or at
least it’ll have a simple and easy to use interface to find the correct part.

Open an NSS (Non-Shipping Seller) and, if you paid via PayPal, start a PayPal
case.

I think it's unlikely that you actually got scammed, but the seller is still
responsible for the package getting to the buyer.

We have plenty of magazines with that in France, I believe in complete Europe.
Lots of little City, Star Wars, Ninjago, Legends of Chima, Friends, Elves, Technic...
polybags
It's almost always cheaper to buy the complete magazine instead of just buying
the minifigure here

Two classic solutions - rubbing alcohol and/or hairspray! Seriously. These get
off even most permanent marker stains from pretty much everything (except clothing).

Try eucalyptus oil - it works for the lego paint so should work for other markers.

PS I hope that you can find some eucalyptus oil - its plentiful down under

You could try wd40. I haven’t tested it on Lego elements.

Ah-so. One day I'd also like to know where and how someone utterly new to
this site (never mind someone with 23 years) finds information like this.
[...]

It is briefly described in the help page on web macro tags: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1147
and you'll find the link to the help center at the bottom of each page.


It's also right here...

  How can I remove marker ink and pen ink from my legos?

Try some dawn dish soap. Sometimes it doesn't work and I use the edge of
a razor blade to gently debride a thin shaving of the stain. I only do this on
my personal ones, of course, not ones for resale.

Best wishes, have an epic day!

Magazines; and they're not cheap (at least not in Canada).

* 
892285-1 (Inv) Benthomaar foil pack
6 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2022

but I have no idea where these come from. Could someone please enlighten me?
Thanks very much.

- B

[ P = part num , color num]
So yes

My thank you to Nubs also extends to you:

P.S. Thank you also for not being ugly about it. That's getting alarmingly
rare."

As Nubs is showing you, or the old school method by adding a comma followed by
the desired color ID number onto the part number within the brackets, as I do.

  I've been searching everywhere for the answer to this. As is getting more
and more usual, nothing.

When one posts a Forum message that includes a Part Macro tag, a problem window
pops up if a color was not specified in the tag. Naturally, the window does not
include instructions as to how to actually do this. That would be so uncharacteristic.

So, what's the format, please?

I don't like it, only because if a customer has an issue with quality
or packaging for shipping I would like for them to contact me directly. They
could provide photos of anything broken or damaged in route. Perhaps one day
when my store is big enough I will feel more comfortable with drop shipping.

Have an epic day!

If it is shipped outside your own country, you will still have to add customs
info including price.
