    Yeah I stopped trying using the search unless being desperate : I only parse through stores that used to have what I wanted... Not only is the search engine not efficent enough (maybe due to automatic translations) but more and more titles and descritions are completely useless. Furthermore if I were you I'd wait a little before ordering, if it is not available elsewhere it surely is a long shot pre sale and you don't even know if they'll have it ...

    For pogo/xinh I usually parse Twt, for other brands I parse the following site : See link Yiwu Fente E - Commerce Co Store

    Another factor is that a "single" vendor often handles severall stores, and maybe from time to time there is a need for a cleanup/catalog inventory and one store is empty so that they can update correctly the catalog. It can also be to balance the sales from one account to another : store visibility is important, so a store with 9000 sales can be "trusted" while one with 2 is doubtfull, hence I believe some stores/accounts are emptied and then reopens with a totally different kind of products but benefits from the sales count. (Megao was probably selling electronics a while ago, and I wonder if Onego wasn't selling clothes before). About old releases apprearing new : there again it is just a catalog matter, it is listed new by the platform because they are re-listed from the seller. maybe simply because of internal factors (if you're talking of some stores that were closed for some times it might be the direct consequence of reuploading a whole catalog) or willingly for visibility purpose (if they want to boost/clear some items they have to make them visible)

    Empire-vs-Rebels-2017

    I've been playing the flash mini game empire-vs-rebels-2017 on lego's website but i'm stuck on starkiller level : I cannot find how to open the trap to get kylo ren. Has anyone succeeded ?

    Have you tried simple searches : Searched "Weapons" for instance at World MF and the "weapon 5" might fit : x50 for ten bucks

    WTF ? Their homepage says "Dear Customers: Re-open next Monday (Feb 13th) ,thanks for your waiting!" This does not look like shut down, It rather looks like inventory time ... or post-party big hangover ;)

    Great ! The new year pause has ended and the announces are kicking out. I'm excited, not for this set but for what could be next : If Xinh is only relasing this 8 parts set, and since Pogo has done 12 and nothing in this one is "original", they will have difficulties selling this. But this can also mean there should be ANOTHER set with the 4 remaining known designs, and maybe up to 4 MORE "original" designs !!! I just don't known what source they get "inspiration" from : a GRRMartin from the same citizenBricks source, a thrall from brickwarriors, i'm still missing 2... And the others news keep going : there is "Gladiatius" from collectibles (maybe xinh?), there is a DrWho 8parts (maybe dlp?) ...

    It is supposed to be Electro, but it could easily be used for an iceman for instance

    This week end I checked a PotC Black Pearl and is it quite good for the price : For the MF : some arms are badly molded as if the character had a huge cramp Some background torso color is not right (eg grey for Will's neck) Davy Jones is blue and not dark blue. For the set some minor complaints : - the cannon's springs are wrongly set : they are fully pulled hence you can't fire - No extra part at all, not even a hand - The strings with studs are sustibuted with regular strings and chain extremities so you have to do you own knots - instructions have cgi issues (parts appearing at front while other parts should be covering them) - trans orange parts are replaced with trans red wich I like better. - you have a sprue of modern weapons just to have the knife so my pirates now have grenades yeehaa

    Can you see the chrome for venom ? Pictures seems to be regular black for me, only the price indicates chome.

    Maybe their board metting are "come with your child at work", they seem to simply think as a Toy manufacturer and not as a Commercial : their products are fun, not pretty (even uggly when comparing to other brands) and clearly children oriented. Most of us posting here are implying the interesting elements are those we'd like to display, JLB seems to focus on what to play with. There is no fun in another IronMan Mk<not released previously>, or a Chrome element, there is fun with smurfs or minions. It is just not what we are used to with bricks discussions : noone talks here about compatible fire trucks or police cars but plenty of the missalignment or the exact color of what the belt should have been ... It's controversial : I don't buy JLB but I'm happy they exists.

    SDCC Phoenix is the only "item" I bought other than regular sets, it was a real crush at the time, and I had no knowledge of bootlegers. Now I probably won't do it again (but that money for promotional items does not go to TLG at all). That knowledge had also no impact on my Lego purchases yet, I still buy what I like, probably because of the strong band image. But about the second hand market and old official sets ... I am still considering it : half the price of the original that I couldn't buy at the time vs 4 times on BL now (like pirates ships) ... tempting. And if you kill the second hand market, you'll kill slowly the current sales, let's face it lots of people are just investing in Legos, if no one is buying second hand, then no one will buy in order to sell later.

    C-3PO with a dark red arm was available from polybag wich was probably given for may the 4th 2015. Veeeery few things were innovation within SW theme, Darth Nihilus is the only I can remember. It is very difficult to find something that can be attractive AND that had not been done before : I'd so like to see a Rebels's Jedi Temple Guard but this is no big market target. Same for me.
