@LEGO Historian should be able to help you out!

? What do you mean: https://brickset.com/sets/60691-1/Jungle-Explorer-Base-Camp says 2024...

Hi @YellowFrog, you are totally right, images should be hosted at e.g. Flickr or some other photo sharing platform (Google?!) as we don't have enough server disk room. Apart from that: welcome to Eurobricks and enjoy.

The old LEGO was indeed very susceptible to it. My dad's LEGO more or less melted and was afterwards not 'clutching' anymore. ABS should be ok till around 40 degrees C according to TLG, but too warm is always a risk of course. See also:

Yup, most people put their images on Flickr I think. They changed their policies not too long ago, so maybe some alternative suggestions: https://alternativeto.net/software/flickr/ (e.g. Google Photo's).

No idea at this point...

Nice one @Murdoch17. Will you also make it in such a way it can open / go up / go down?

Very nice! Hope you share the instructions, then I will definitely build it myself.

Haha, so now we can give our better part an original for a fraction of the price of the copy ;)

Not the same, but somewhat similar...

Great tutorial indeed!

Studio was updated (2.24.1 and newer) and that resolved the problems. B.t.w. Switching to other operating systems is never a good idea to resolve these kind of problems, you will keep switching... I had those kind of problems in Windows, that is why I ditched that in the first place. Now I use macOS (Unix) and Windows (once every other month) and Linux (regularly). But running Windows in a virtual machine slows down Studio of course so it was very inconvenient.

Very nice @brickbuilder711, it could even double as a turntable :)

A nice video review of all the Train sets we can vote for including the one from @Jefry Been and @Marooned Marin of course.

Thanks for sharing @JHS_NL!

Very nice @Jefry Been. I already saw it on bricklink and of course gave you my vote! B.t.w. maybe you could also experiment with the candle pieces for the barriers. I just ordered red 'candles' a few days ago to do so.

Hi @7wideguy, what's up? Welcome to Eurobricks!

Thanks for sharing! I think I will build mine in a few weeks... I finished a MOD of the Bricklink Engine yesterday shed so now I need to test the shed with a locomotive :)

Very nice @Murdoch17 thanks for the update and the heads-up.

That depends on local laws. In the Netherlands it is not very clear cut. That is probably also the issue for them. They should have registered a Limited (BV same idea as the German GmbH) as they are then not personally accountable. But that is also more expensive so most small business and/or private persons selling a few things aren't often registered as Limiteds. I also didn't do the stickers under a formal company name b.t.w. even though I had one but that was for a different purpose. I checked it and it is a one-person company indeed (with full personal responsibilities) : https://www.kvk.nl/bestellen/#/01134117000015162842

You have some points there, but I don't agree. This is how it goes (at least how it worked in our case), we hated the old 12V trains having faded logo stickers, so we found a printer that allowed us to print replacements but as it is was an expensive machine we could only afford it on a loan and needed to pay of that loan before making money. Our printer broke down twice (3000 euro for a new printing head). Nowadays you can get Chinese UV printers that could do white but that was impossible a few years ago. We basically only used the small profit we had to go to events and buy LEGO for our hobby... For some people it evolves into a day job (as with Bricklink sellers) but for many others it stays a 'professionalized' side project.

We can at least do something: "Friends from the afol community have started a crowdfunding campaign: https://gofund.me/8c7581ed"

Probably a solution could one would only sell based on individual requests and try to make it in such a way that the buyer accepts responsibility (and the seller can say, well I just sold a service, not actually a product)... I just did a custom built for some friend and asked a brick printer to print some text on tiles. Arguably me sending the parts to the printer, asking them to put the text on it as a service and shipping the items back (again as a service) to me will be a much harder case for LEGO to fight against. This will definitely but large dents in the feeling we all have for TLG and I totally understand you @Toastie! I don't go so far yet, but maybe I will have a different opinion in future (what if they would also come after people that are part of this community here for example (I won't mention their names but we all know them...). @Duq that is really horrible... so-called IT expert I would say... There is no justice in that...

"Wednesday May 29, 2024 | The latest news first on NU.nl Dutch people are no longer allowed to sell self-built LEGO trains By our economics editors May 28, 2024 at 12:29 Update: 13 hours ago A Dutchman who builds real trains with LEGO bricks and resells his buildings must stop doing so. LEGO believes that it is infringing the trademark rights of the largest toy manufacturer in the world and the judge has ruled in favor. The Dutchman must stop selling LEGO trains through his company HA bricks within two days. He must also share all his sales figures with the toy manufacturer. If the man does not do this, he will have to pay LEGO 1,000 euros per day. The manufacturer can also demand an additional 500 euros per product sold. The Dutchman must also pay 16,000 euros in legal costs to the toy company. The Dutchman sees his buildings as a tribute to LEGO and thought he was reselling the goods according to the rules. But the preliminary relief judge ruled differently. Because he printed the LEGO bricks and provided them with ball bearings, he permanently changed the appearance of the bricks. According to the judge, this is simply not allowed." But I guess they will also attack the use of stickers but than for other reasons (e.g. copyright violations). https://www.nu.nl/economie/6314601/nederlander-mag-geen-zelfgebouwde-lego-treinen-meer-verkopen.html So summarize: all customizing small companies are basically screwed... 16.000 euro, the costs of a high end UV printer, just in legal costs... 1000steine Dirk also gave a link to the actual verdict, mostly in Dutch but here it is: https://uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl/details?id=ECLI:NL:RBDHA:2024:7992&showbutton=true&keyword=lego&idx=1http:%2F%2F This might well be the start of the end for the hobby for many, many AFOLs.

Always good to have historians around :)
