Additional photos and thoughts: Wonderful set but not quite Rivendell in terms of aesthetics and build. Solid 9.5 overall. It’s a shame that the Fell Beast wasn’t included to begin with. Based on the interior art, I suspect it was but the bean counters came in at the 11th hour and changed that.

Yikes. You can really tell who the bonkers people are when they can't let a flippant remark in a complaint thread go. Nothing was even political. Things can be true and not political at the same time.

Just be aware that your terms do not supercede legal realities. I see dump trucks with signs that state that vehicles must not follow closer than 200 feet and that they are not responsible for broken windshields. However, you have to get closer than 200 feet to read the sign. I asked my father (the retired DA Investigator) about this many years ago and he just laughed. That's when he told me that, just because someone makes a statement does not make that statement true and it certainly doesn't make it legal. To be fair, what I quoted you above wasn't so much about legality or regulations. It was based more on Paypal demands and practices. I assume that they paid you using either PayPal or Stripe. Stripe is even stricter than PayPal when it comes to pleasing the customer first. I don't say the above to be argumentative. But I have been selling items at least part-time for 15+ years and I am now in my 11th year as a BrickLink seller, 9 of those years as a full-time seller. I have a perfect record. I have never lost a PayPal or Stripe case as a buyer or seller, not that there have been that many. Not to be an ass but, once your buyer offered to pay outside of BrickLink, he became a thief in my eyes, not to be trusted. I would have immediately cancelled his order, listing the exact reason(s) in the comments. And then added him to my Stop List. Doing so would have saved you from this type of crap.

Finally finished the Titanic just over 2 months off and on while building other sets in between to break up some of the monotony. No more missing pieces, so not bad only 2 that were wrongly swapped at the factory and replaced, out of over 9K elements. Although I did have a damaged 2x12 white plate that I replaced from my own inventory 46 numbered bags most with 2 and some with 3 bags per number. Four almost identical smoke stack sections with 7 bags each so 28 of the 46 bags are repetitive, and the portholes are brutal. When you finish the last smoke stack section for the rear of the ship which is the beginning of box 3 there is a notation in the instructions: “Stern & Well deck: the final section is the most complicated” and this is where the build really excels and probably why most have such good impressions of the overall build of the set. It is so good that it makes you forget about the misery you just went through. If you are doing a family build just grab box 3 as you will get the full effect of building the entire ship and feel sorry for whomever gets box 2. My ratings for this set which I purchased prior to the price increase: Build 8 Play 2 Display 9 Value 8
