One thing I have discovered is #Bricklink, a website where you can look up any part, any set, and see the components list, add it to your collection, find replacements, find what set it's from.

Amazing. For a few special parts where we can't find it or it's broken (e.g. this spindly gymnastics bar) we will see if we can buy them from that marketplace. Any tips from existing Bricklink buyers are welcome.

Incredibly embarrassing to learn that #LEGO to 90% of people* now means “copy instructions to make replicas of the world’s biggest media franchise Stars War” and not “combine a bunch of modular minute pieces all slavishly sorted and color coded in the most male fashion imaginable to make whatever perverse building or scenario your twisted mind can imagine.”

(to the other 10%* it means “dorky kids toy”)

Tijdens mijn afwezigheid in Athene, zijn er drie orders binnengekomen in mijn #LEGO winkel bij #Bricklink
Ze liggen nu klaar om verzonden te worden.

Kijk hier eens of er voor jou ook wat tussen zit: https://store.bricklink.com/mbootsman&utm_content=globalnav#/shop

Just tried out Bricklink to fill out which Technic pieces we have (especially the "holey bricks") and wow! Feels like a super power to not need to build our collection with the standard sets. #legos #bricklink

Gisteren de eerste order in m'n #BrickLink shop ontvangen.

WIl je ook rondsnuffelen voor leuke #LEGO sets / onderdelen?

30 setjes staan er op een nieuwe eigenaar te wachten, allemaal in zeer goede staat, met instructies.

@SteineimWeltall es wurde reingegangen und ich bin recht zufrieden 😍

Vanaf zojuist heb ik een #Bricklink winkeltje waarin alle LEGO die we willen verkopen komt te staan. Geheel in stijl met de Bootsman Enterprise Naming Conventions (Italiaans) is het Mattoni geworden. Italiaans voor stenen.

Zo kunnen we de setjes lekker te koop laten staan, en zijn ze voor de liefhebber goed te vinden.

De komende dagen alle sets toevoegen en verzendopties/kosten instellen.

In spite of the problems with *gestures at everything*, I love living in the future. I'm currently building a LEGO model that I've always wanted but am too poor to ever own completely for free digitally. It's not as satisfying as having it in hand, but the joy of building it is real and pure. #Lego #bricklink #starwars #legostarwars

My boy is right now designing his own #lego moc with #bricklink studio 2.0 https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/download.page

Quite impressed how good he can already handle the UI with the #mouse and #keyboard

#LEGO Bulk Bin forensics trick!

You have a bin chunk you found. Doesn't match the manuals - no obvious set number on it. Did someone create this or is it another potential set?

#BrickLink "Appears In" relationships to the rescue!

Here we have a cylindrical magnet, blue 2-finger plate + 3-finger plate.

Enter these into "Appears In" tool and - 2 results!

Hey, that rocket looks familiar, I have that chunk here too! *removes hoses because they were added*

Bingo - we may have Set 6898!

If you remember my chunk of a forklift I didn’t know what it was. Well sometimes the #LEGO answer is obvious like a license plate with the set number. 4201 on #Bricklink shows a matching set and yep this looks right. I have no interest in this set so I sacrifice the chunk back to the bulk where it might be able to contribute a part to something else if we need it.

Lunchtime #LEGO bin processing - time to make #Bricklink Wanted Lists. A wanted list on Bricklink allows you to track the parts you have for a set so you know what you have and what you don't.

To do this, find the set number in question and select "Part Out" under My Wanted List. Follow it through, do this for every set you think is in the bin.

Eventually you'll have a collection of lists. I recommend naming the Wantlist with the set #, status of your project, and where you're storing it.

The little question mark in the Paid column links to info on what values it can take on, such as "Pending" etc. Still nothing on where to stick the money.

The #bricklink #ux is utterly baffling and I'm not sure I'd want to use it again.

You tell me. How do I pay this "awaiting payment" order? #ui #ux #design #lego #bricklink

(Clicking the order number brings me to a PDF of the invoice that has a bunch of personal info so I didn't screenshot that. Still no "click here to pay".)

I assume I don't pay by attempting to update the status to "Paid"....?

WTF is going on with #bricklink? I placed an order and said I wanted to use #Paypal. I got a "please wait for invoice", then an invoice emailed to me. Status is "waiting for payment".

Where do I click to make a payment? There's literally nothing that says "click here to send money". Nothing on the site, the order or the invoice.

Why is there not a big blinking red light that says "PUT MONEY HERE"?

Jaha, är visst nere i #Lego-träsket igen... Började bygga ett julset i mellandagarna med @helen efter typ tre år utan Lego-lust, och nu bygger jag plötsligt äldsta barnets skola. Hej #bricklink, snart måste jag köpa fler bitar. #wip

Und hier das Ergebnis #Lego #Eislaufbahn #Weihnachtsdorf #Bricklink #MOC

Was das wohl wird? #Lego #Bricklink #Weihnachtsdorf #Vorfreude
