Hi guys,

Yet another thief...

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Lego-Star-Wars-Venator-UCS-MOC-Modell-Bauteileliste-und-Bauplan-/322296227848?hash=item4b0a5a2808:g:JrUAAOSwCGVYA9ie

Can you please report that auction ?

 

PS : thank you to TomF who informed me about that auction.

[Cjd223]

Reported.  Same thing happened to my manuals today...

[TomF]

And new Offers for stolen Instructions from the same Seller

What is wrong with that guy...

I reported the auction (and you are welcome to do the same). But is there a way to ask ebay to ban that guy for good ?

Same problem here Anio, only problem is that I can't read German....

Reported the seller.

He's sold quite a few of the nebulon b instructions too.

I think the seller's listings were taken down, but thanks for the offer!

I have found that eBay are not that helpful in banning individuals plus its quite easy for them to re-register and carry on selling stolen IP sadly.  I'm always happy to help report anyone and I do keep an eye out on the UK eBay for such things where I can.

[dmarkng]

Yup... they don't really bother.

You can easily find pirated goods too and they aren't really bothered by it.

Even Amazon has stuff like that =/

Hi there !

 

And now thieves are poping on less popular website than ebay.

Here, on a NL website : http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/kinderen-en-baby-s/speelgoed-duplo-en-lego/m1119242540-star-wars-lego-ucs-venator-class-star-destroyer-moc.html?c=8c285449651fa109c354bbabe740c1b&previousPage=lr&pos=29

The guy says he can provide (steal) most of the instructions of my designs... What a jerk.

 

I do not know that website and so just sent "Rapporteer deze advertentie" request. Not sure it will work.

If some Dutch AFOL knows that website, help would be very appreciated.

 

Thanks for reading,

Régis

 

 

Edit : Tom, a Dutch Lego fan told me that that page had to be used : http://help.marktplaats.nl/help/contactuspage

 

Then, select "Veilig Andelen & Internetoplitching", then "Melding Verdachte adverteeeder".

All parts ordered... Building this one now :)

[VaderFan2187]

Always hate it when thieves steal hardworking people's work... 

[cavegod]

Never mind that Anios BB8 is on presell by Lepin!

[Anio]

Yeah I saw that too.
It sucks.

Someone should sue Lepin.

Sorry to hear Anio.

That thieving Chinese company! But on the plus side I guess it shows you're an awesome  professional builder. 

Kind regards, Ellis.

[Kristof]

Agreed on that positive note. Although I know it's maybe hard to get any good feeling. It's really sick what they do.

[masterX244]

found a error on step 169(page 175). you somehow got that angle connector part in dark red there while the parts list for BL and rebrickable both show it in bright red...

How would I go about purchasing a set of such instructions? And before I purchase the instructions, could someone send me a parts list, so I can calculate whether I can afford it? Thanks.

Parts list is also  on Rebrickable:

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/anio/venator-star-destroyer

For going cheaper search this post for the magnetless mod. optionally replacing LBG levers with old light gray levers helps, too

Another warning in advance: those 2x4's with holes are easy to confuse with normal 2x4 plates but thats also a issue with officail Lego instructions.

 

Edit: Build done. Inclusive a few snafus and fubars on the plates. (too many to notice it immediately that you screwed up)

Thanks for your help. However, when I click on it, I am re-directed to the start of this topic. Sorry, I am new to Eurobricks.
