Well there a lot of valid points I'd agree. While I understand that feeling when you see someone getting some serious money for stuff you created I don't understand why those who doesn't sell their own MOCs are unhappy with it? Did you offer same service? Probably not. It takes time and money to get all the pieces, sort them and assemble the moc itself. But as you may know people are lazy and those who have $$$ would end overpaying for the model without spending too much time sourcing all the parts. And if they bought it they are probably happy about it. I agree that lack of credit is serious issue here. Same as above, some would pay for ready to apply sticker, rather than going the whole round of finding where to print, printing the sticker and finally overpaying for the whole process. Consider printing same stickers in large amount per sheet and sell for little buck. Also, what is the difference between between reselling a model designed by TLG and AFOL? 41999 set's RRP was 179.99EUR and it is being sold for 350-400 now. I', sure RM8 would be happy to be the initial distributor Other retired models are being sold quite over their RRP too. Reselling of MOC instructions is a hard question. If you offer digital instructions only - you must keep in mind you have no control here. And if i bought one I feel I can give it away with moc I've assembled and then decided to sell. On the other hand, reselling more than once is of course not acceptable. So basically I see following unpleasant moments of other selling your stuff when: Your non-free instructions (only) are sold, resold not by someone else Lack of credit when selling other MOC Selling MOC, for which instructions are not free, more than once

Lego Serial Numbers?
zux replied to DrJB's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Isn't there a requirement in EU now, where packaging should have a certain number to help distinguishing between manufacturing batches. PS. mine is 21M4 -
Is this a fake Lego withi Lego logo or just some very old mold?
zux replied to Kalais's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I would suggest posting same question on BL forums. I saw there quite a few members interested in old stuff, variations and other crazy stuff. -
When did price change happened? Was it just after BnP got back live in January? Another positive moment - you can proceed with paying your order online, calling customer service is no longer needed. Which is very convenient when you don't have CS # in your country.

You may see here and here on Brickset that same part is numbered differently by TLG. And in this topic there are some thoughts of the reason behind it.- 5,509 replies

42040 Fire Plane
zux replied to timtimgo87's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This part is no longer in production (BL says since 2007). It will probably be 60208, which was released in white in 12 sets. -
4000 please, my OCD won't accept 4040 Btw, 4040 relates to "Page Not Found Error" ;)

I've ordered some already. If it is not grayed out then it is probably available, keeping in mind this is a new part.

That sounds just not right. Smaller boxes, which should be harder to managed due to "sticking out polybags, have changed and have much less air now. Large boxes have too much air and I still believe this is made to impress visually, rather than some technological obstacles. While I believe some manual labor has been involved, box of 41999 showed it is possible to manage inside space effectively.

I've checked the image on the box, which has different lighting and indeed it might be LBG... false alarm -
