That is a real shame about Bricklink! So are you thinking you can just use a VPN to get into the website, and then hope the seller doesn't care what country they're shipping to?

Indeed, my regular shop told me they would still ship to me.

For other shops I think I'd shoot them an inquiry email before placing orders.

That last one is savage! The 16t gear will now rotate most possible smoothest way [when the frames are finally fully attached/mounted]!

That's the spirit man! Keep going on!

I'm not sure I get what you meant by that but since you seem to like it here's what it looks like on the other side

It's already Feb 1st and Bricklink apparently still works in my country, for some reasons. Not that I'm complaining haha.

Edit: Nvm it's no longer available...

The good news is that I can still visit stores and put items into carts. Only the checkout part is unavailable. I guess I can just put all I want from a shop into the cart, create an XML list based on that, and ask the shop to prepare the order accordingly.

That's better than it could be! Hopefully that works for you.

Were there any Vietnamese stores you used that would be entirely shut down?

I never ordered from any VNmese store because there arent many, and the few that exist all focus on minifigs or System parts.

I'm using a VPN and changed my location to both Singapore and Netherlands but the checkout function is still not available. This is getting more annoying than I expected.

It turns out that the solution is very simple. The checkout function is only not available simply because my account's shipping address is in VN. Once I've changed my address, the checkout button is avaialble again. No need for VPN or any fancy tech.
