  Under Age Buyers         


Author: Onideus Mad Hatter

From this thread:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=292018

I've found that one dead give-away with an underage buyer/seller is
that they have an uncanny desire to tack their age onto the end of
their username. So if you ever see a user name with like Something15
or Something13...yeah, 10 to 1 says it's a tweenager trying to play
adult.

  Seller Stupidity

Check this out:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=292455

http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=wahiggin&itemID=11192283

...he's trying to sell just the ONE minifig for basically $20...now,
um, anyone who isn't plainly retarded knows that the set she comes
with:
http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=7886&cn=39&d=70

...only costs $30, so why would anyone in their right mind pay nearly
2/3rds of the cost of the original set just to get ONE of its
minifigs?

I mean I could ~maybe~ understand it if the set was no longer being
sold, and I think that the other guy selling them, for about fifty
cents more who has like 56 of them certainly has that as his intended
goal. But to pop off in the forums, practically fondling yer balls
and trying to make it sound as if yer selling something absolutely
INCREDIBLE at a WHOLE 50 cents lower than the other TWO people selling
them on BrickLink WHILE the set is STILL being openly sold on Lego's
website for only $10 more...yeah...I don't think the greater fool
theory runs *THAT* deep.

  JediBlob Strikes Back

This time, he's DEMANDING an apology!
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=292090

...right, like I'm going to apologize for HIS slanderous, hate
mongering, nasty filled attacks. I've got a better idea, HE can
apologize to *ME* and then...nope, actually even then I wouldn't take
him off my stop list, because in the event there was ever any kind of
problem...I'd know *EXACTLY* how he'd blow up in response to it.

Really, when you get right down to it...I actually have a legitamate
REASON for having Jedirob on my stoplist, where as him having me on
his stoplist...yeah, that's fueled ENTIRELY out of hateful spite,
arrogance, ignorance and a desperate *NEED* to try and "get back" at
me for laughing at him when he so desperately tried to attack me out
of the blue.

  Sorting Legos         


Author: Onideus Mad Hatter
Date: Jul 17, 2008 21:09

Continued from nyah:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=292025

I have a rather...strange, way of sorting my Legos. I buy these:
http://www.sterilite.com/Category.html?Section=Storage&ProductCategory=43

About a buck twenty five for the two smaller ones and about two twenty
five for the larger ones. They stack real well on top of one another,
my current stacks go up about 10 high and they're still real solid.

First, I have a variety of subcategories...like translucent/light
parts. Most of those go in the bigger bins. I also have a category
for town minifigs, space minifigs, castle minifigs, pirate minifigs
and eventually I might add a Viking category. Now, the minifigs are
headless, but I do keep their pants all on. The heads go into yet
another, smaller container, separated into two plastic bags...one for
plain heads, the other for decorated heads. Then there's another
small container that has hair pieces and town people hats, again
separated into plastic baggies. Then I've got another small container
that has space helmets, space jet packs and helmet visors all together
(separated by plastic baggies).

  Thoughtlessness Of Lego Designers         


Author: Onideus Mad Hatter
Date: Jul 17, 2008 15:22

I mean...what were they thinking...
http://www.backwater-productions.net/_images/_Lego/Lego_Stupidity.jpg

And there's *SO* much of that too. Like curved river plates that
never had straight counterparts and that didn't line up. I mean,
honestly, as a graphic designer it's really not *THAT* difficult to
create a seamlessly tiled image. It would have taken *SO* very little
effort on their part and said little effort would have such a drastic
impact on the playability and range of creative designs that could
then be derived. You could create an entire beach front to yer Lego
city, or even make the city one giant island resort. Or with the
river plates, you could have a river running through your city...but
alas, they don't line up and there are no straight plates for any of
the river plates...and even the curved river plates don't line up very
good.

  BrickLink Bad Mouthers Rightly Forced To Shut The Fuck Up         


Author: Onideus Mad Hatter
Date: Jul 16, 2008 12:14

It looks liak every time the hate mongering slander brigade starts
tryin to start shit about me they're muzzled pretty quick by the
admins:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=291696

Just one of *MANY* locked threads. It's a pretty nice feeling, being
able to speak openly and freely about them (the TRUTH about them),
whilst they're muzzled (from telling LIES about me) and put on a short
leash.
