For me, it has always been individual sellers.

Try ordering direct from LEGO.

Now I cannot. So everything in the phone is bigger than the legal site limits. On the last post I did, I sent the pics to myself via an email and resized on the attach function tot he email. Then I posted that way from a PC.

I don’t like the extra step for sure. Used to be quite simple.

Noticing lately (last ~3 months maybe) that the site crashes my posts. Especially with pictures. I usually use my iPhone so it may be a device interaction. The site (or phone) used to ask what size photo to upload. It no longer does this so likely this is the issue. I don’t know if this is a site setting or something changed…Read more

Across distances those variations add up to slight measurement inconsistency and bend.

Great display! I would love to see it in person. I have not had the opportunity to travel to any larger shows like Brickworld or Brickfair, but I know other LUG members have and also displayed so maybe they have met you or at least have seen your display.

Great work!
