One issue was they shipped bootleg minifig parts and we even submitted clear pictures of what was shipped. The second order with a different buyer, they shipped minifigs with the wrong colored parts. I've lost a total of $65 over these two orders - both of which were gifts for my son. There's no buyer support and no protection from scammers. This last guy had 12 complaints in the last year for the same issues and Bricklink is doing NOTHING about it. The guy is a jerk and I'm out the money. Anyone else having this trouble? It's an abnormal/problematic shop. https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=luke93 Open NSS Alert. Open PayPal Claim. Report the shop: https://www.bricklink.com/problemMember.asp Then you can say: Scary mindset. It's one thing that you champion such for you and yours, but to advocate it more broadly is worrisome to those that are not of that somewhat troublesome mindset. Evidenced by the (satirical) Starship Troopers movie you invoke, meaning of which has apparently failed to permeate It's meant to show the absurdity of that statement, iow. I'm a fan of Heinlein, have MANY of his books, and I know how to read his words at 2nd or 3rd level. Otherwise, at 1st level it's pretty stupid, but that's what's genious in how he writes. And the Starship Troopers is a GOOD movie to represent this book. At the 1st level, it's action and dumb - but then it's a far deeper movie Apart this, OP member have difficulties, and the shop seems toxic. NSS, Claim, Report - and he already gave the shop a Negative, which is pretty brave. Bravo!

[...] My apologies if I misunderstood your use of the Starship Trooper meme. It remains an uncomfortable way of thinking for me and unfortunately very real path for humanity. (1 month ago, Apr 23, 2024, to Buying)
