LEGO Perspectives

Each person does see the world in a different way.
It is about perspective and how you look at something.
It is all through our own individual prisms.

WOT: Why my Bricklink store does not sell overseas

Many a times, I have been asked via bricklink message or email if I do deliver order to countries outside Singapore.

Well, I have done an exception recently, and yet again this is my Bad Experience with forex loss with paypal.

Here is why NOT again.

If you understand how my store works, buyer only pay for actual postage to whatever country (I would go get a quote from local post office) and adding in a percent for Paypal seller's charges. All these sounds fine in a deal, but let's understand more...

---

Hi xxxxx,
Please find the Quote.

Weight of package: 157.5 grams
Cost of package to Germany: S$12.35
Courier: Singapore Post (National Post)
Payment method: Paypal
Additional charges for Paypal: 4.4% of total Order + S$0.50
https://www.paypal.com/sg/webapps/mpp/paypal-seller-fees

Items: xxxxx
Qty: 40 pieces
Total: S$14.00

Estimated Order total for your consideration.
S$14.00 + S$1.17 + S$12.35 = Singapore Dollar $27.52

Warm Regards,

---

And so the buyer agreed to pay for the package. Paypal was the gateway to receive payment and was frequently used to pay for my purchases from overseas. This order was billed in Singapore Dollar, and so I would only make senses I need any balance in paypal to be in US Dollar or Euro.

I requested the payment in Euro. And so the transaction when thru, and I receive Euro in my paypal account.

And so in summary:
Bricklink order in total would be in S$27.58
But due to wonderful paypal conversion rate, I would only receive S$23.82 to be used for my next purchase.

Why is this happening?

I will not utilize any Singapore Dollar in paypal account.

Buyer is innocent in the deal, and shouldn't be ask to pay for difference.

Banks' Credit Card exchange rate are way better than Paypal conversion rate.

This order bypass Bricklink order process, so it exclude Bricklink Seller Fees.

So until my brain could process such loss with Bricklink's order, I would never process with another overseas request.

Thank you for the understanding.

BW Entry Link

Where have I seen this before?

Just go buy the instructions from ebay at USD 20. How is this called original MOC?

And this is not the first time Lego Certified Store Bricksworld's failed in her diligent to check for plagiarism. The following entry was also accepted and displayed in LCS store in earlier MOC competition.

BW Entry Link

Where have I seen this before?

The original Lester minifigure was designed and retail by Taiwan Mocer Helen Sham under Helen Sham Figures in Oct 2017, You may buy the complete figure with instruction from her website.
The original entry and pictures for comparison can be found HERE

It is a shame that competition entry were submitted and claimed to be their own design without giving credits to the originator. But when doing so, it also means these entries will not be eligible to join the MOC competition.

Perhaps this is yet another of Bricksworld lousy Spot The Difference contest

Farewell to Lego Trains K-5 Railway Gun Diorama MOC

Trains had always been good at delivering troops, and the K-5 guns were the last hurrah for the railway gun and the train as a weapon of World War II.

This MOC (My Own Creation) diorama featured the Krupp K-5 used by Nazi Germany in World War II. This diorama had been tore down, this blog post will served as a sweet memory for all the past good times.
