Your only option at this point is to reach out to Lego and ask them for the compliance documents. Dear Lego, I am writing you as I am having a difficult time selling some of your products on Amazon. I've purchased this set in vast quantities as it is better than gold, but Amazon is asking for compliance documents due to the fact that this set has a battery in it. Could you please provide me the compliance documents so that I can continue rolling in the money? Eternally grateful, yyyybird111 (VIP # 8675309)

Good news, the air tanks will be available as a stand-alone GWP in August!

Not bubble wrap but, if you live near an actual (paper) newspaper office then almost all will sell you their paper end rolls for $1-2. There is a ton on plain white newspaper left on those tubes and make great dunnage when wadded up. Three rolls, like in the photo below, would last you hundreds, if not thousands, of packaging. Not bad for under $5. Many big Amazon resellers use these as it is so much cheaper than bubble wrap. Buy directly from the newspaper if you live near one. Many people buy up all they can and then mark them up to $10+ a roll online.

Just bought the instructions for this MOC Alternate of 42156 from rebrickable (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-180812/davidragon/42156-chevrolet-corvette-c8r)....

I feel like they were on a really good roll with the Classic GWP box art, but then this happened... (still a fan of the contents though)

Hear ye, hear ye. After millions of years, I am finally beginning a new MOC topic for anything castle, medieval, renaissance, whatever, related. Greenwood Deep by Blufiji

I just built the Pantasy Bakery and was blown away by their presentation of parts, including, not a single sticker. All tran-clear windows in a separate bag, numerous printed tiles, quality of the pieces, etc. All that I could think of was "LEGO had better watch their ass!" It was a truly enjoyable build with parts that, while not perfect, was about as close to LEGO-quality that you could get. And this modular cost $82 compared to a $240 LEGO one. (I added the MILS plate - it's LEGO.)

Placed a $35.64 order free shipping with Target. They offered a $1 discount to combine shipments, then proceeded to charge me $5.99 shipping as my total was now less that $35. :facepalm: Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk

Nailed it! lol

So I was going to put this in the "What Lego set did you build today" thread but since the build is on hold I decided to make a bigger complaint thread post about Stickers. I was building 76271 Batman: The Animated Series Gotham City. I purchased it to build because I like the 3D art sets and had pre-sold the minifgures for over half of the set cost to help offset this extremely overpriced set at $300. So, back to "why for such an expensive set can't they all be prints?" argument to which Lego replies that their is a cost per set formula based on how many sets they expect to produce/sell, the number of unique elements and other factors that determine whether it will be prints or stickers. So a $30 Creator set will get all printed parts because it will sell 10 Million copies while this set at $300 would need to sell 1 Million copies to get all prints but say it will only sell 500K so it gets stickers. Seeing what Pantasy is doing, I know @Captain_Obvious there he goes pumping his other side hustle, with all printed elements, Lego can afford to do the same as well or perhaps come up with some alternative option like Jang suggests in the YouTube clip. For the Premium price we are now paying for these Adult sets they should at least get the stickers right and they continue to not. Gringotts Wizarding Bank – Collectors' Edition: the stickers are abysmal especially for a $429 "Collectors' Edition" the off-center Name Plate that you have to cut yourself or display as is, is a major fail. The Orient Express Train: $299 and the stickers were the wrong color, yellow instead of gold, and had misspellings of cities. So you had to get a replacement set. Batman: The Animated Series Gotham City: $299 has 67 stickers and besides being off-center the color on the initial production run was either off or they ran out of ink. See the pictures of what was sent out light grey compared to how they should look, Black. I contacted Lego and of course they are out of the updated stickers but should have more within a month so hopefully I can get back to the build. Finally, BMW M4 GT3 & BMW M Hybrid V8 Race Cars, see Jang clip for more, but the SC product line lead designer stated previously that they learned their lesson from the Toyota Supra with doing stickered elements across 3 parts and would switch to prints the following year which they did, but now are back to stickers some that have to be aligned across all 8 studs of the build. Come on Lego you need to up your sticker game for the price of these sets. One last thing, if you are still with me, just an FYI they changed the piece count on Cherry Blossoms from 438 to 430, but it has no stickers 13:10 for a good alternative sticker option:

Exactly, if they did some Baseball stadiums or something else that Lego doesn't do like the amazing Cathedral from BL Designer program I would not hesitate to order from them again.

Are you reselling this crap? You've been cheerleading this stuff a little too much lately lol

Legendary cartoon. This show taught me how to drift cars irl. I'm buying this fs!

LOL Jang lost his loyalty to LEGO when LEGO removed his reviews of sets that were released early in EU (but not yet in US). This was what, 5 years ago ? Having said that, if the brick company holds official license from the IP owners, it should not be classified as knock off brand. 🤷‍♂️ Looking at CADA website, I am tempted to buy this Trueno from Initial D anime. https://decadastore.com/products/initial-d-toyata-trueno-ae86-c61024w

101 Bricks: Storybook Adventures by Markus Rollbühler

yea the mocs and original design are safe but many (most?) of the myriad of KO Flego companies crank out both. I'd wager most of the $$$ amount of flego bought is going towards illegal replicas... Lego legal probably doesnt feel its worth their time but with the economy plateauing and lego income post peak, they may well start to crack down. In fact, I'm extremely surprised they haven't already given the blatant and widespread availability of the clones. Begun, the clone wars have...

Love these Art sets they are really good mental builds. And looks like no Stickers 😝

I didn't use their baseplate. I just built the Bakery on top of a standard LEGO MILS plate. If I recall, the top plates were 16x32s.

Thanks for pointing me to this subforum. I built the Bakery about 3 weeks ago and find that, not only did we have the same experience building but also emotionally. I started building this with an "ashamed, but LEGO doesn't offer this set and I want it" and finished with a "wow, that was a fun and quality build." I think that, if Pantasy continues on its course that LEGO should be very afraid. Sure, they make different sets but the bang-for-buck is so lopsided right now that it doesn't make sense to NOT pay attention to Pantasy. I've been begging LEGO for years to make a large Sacre Coeur set. If Pantasy beats them to it, I'm all in!

LOL. Jenny's phone number puts the cherry on top of the sundae. Well played.

Wow, the end is nigh.

Not sure if you live by an Ollies but I found a bunch of bigger Lego sets there today. Not used to seeing big sets in the kind of quantities they had. Not terrible prices . These must have really not sold well for them to show up in the quantities I have been seeing at Ollies. Dreamz 71469 $60 Guardians ship 76255 $40 City 60379 $45 City 60378 $30 Dreamz 71459 $30

Damn near perfect fit, and only $3.50! Thank you again!

Home depot 24 x 20 x 21 should be a near perfect fit. Double wall for extreme protection.

Not sure if that adjective is based on experience? Everything I've read on online forums indicates the same as pseudoty. GoBricks is very high quality. The rise of the clones is an extremely important event in the Lego world and needs to be covered far more comprehensively, if anything. It's unusual even for a dominant player in any given consumer category to have such a monopolistic stranglehold; perhaps this is the beginning of the end of that. I find it interesting that Mega has come up with some worth lego level designs, but their bricks arent up to snuff. Pantasy on the other hand to me seems perhaps the opposite. Great bricks but not loving the designs.

same. is this is performace issue or can we ignore if we have no inventory

Triceracop by Dan Rubin

After more than 3 months, I was able to get all of my stock returned. It took more than a month to get any response at all, after pinging through every contact I had there multiple times. It then took more than 2 months to have them set up a return. And even at that point I had no idea things were going to come back. Eventually I had a ****-ton of stuff delivered randomly. I had couple dozen smaller items missing, but I assume they sold and got credited to someone else.... as it wasn't uncommon for me to have random items I never sent in credited to me, so I'll call it a wash. I also had one item returned that I never sent them. I didn't overdo it there like some people, but still tens of thousands of inventory over the years. 53% was the total lost to fees through them. This includes platform fees, vendor fees, storage, and shipping. Gross profit after fees was 99.4%, which is nothing to complain about at face value. But while not having control of your stock, many items missed prime selling windows. Looking at my spreadsheets, profit would have been at least 2.5x higher selling on my own, and much higher on a lot of items that missed their big bumps. I think they had a fine idea that grew too fast because they accepted too many people in before having the logistics figured out. Then moving all the inventory to another state just compounded things and it all collapsed from there.

Add this to my ever growing list of silly Lego purchases . Three cases of 30615 Incredibles 2 GameStop polybag. The crazy things I find on Facebook at 2am.

Yes, many thanks Tonka for following through on this. I'll may later regret saying this, but .... If folks want to DM their lists to me, I can collate them, remove dupes, and then pass them along to Tonka. Should only take you a few mins. go to manage inventory page set page max list to 250 items (not sure how I did this) search for "discontinued" Highlight all the search results. copy (Ctrl-C) and paste them into WordPad (or some other plain-text equivalent) doc. (important **not** Word. WordPad will save as plain text... no meta data) save and send If you want to delete some info, like quantity listed, that's OK by me. All I need is the "B0..." ASIN field.

Pantasy sounds like a name brand of women's undergarments. And just earlier Pseudoty was talking about his Funwhole....
