(...) Which kinda goes back to my basic question... What makes one LEGO set 'collectable' and another not ? Is it age ? Is it appreciation above MSRP ? Is it availability ? Is it box condition ? Is it desireability ? Other than age, most of those (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.market.shipping)

(...) Sounds reasonable to me. If it's a collectible, the packaging affects its value, based both on condition and rarity.

(...) If the answer to the second question is "it is worth more", then, in my view, the item in question is a collectible. If it is "no difference" then the item isn't. LEGO is not fungible this way. Some LEGO items ARE collectible... an Airport (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.market.shipping)

I am currently pursuing a claim for a LEGO set (a 7127) which was (somewhat) crushed during international shipping. This question was asked of me by the postmaster where I am attempting to file a claim. I was left with the impression that being a (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.market.shipping)

(...) Maybe it ought to be, but it isn't. Numerous times I've send orders to Europe (UK, Ger, NL, Bel), and some arrived within 72 hours!!!

Is there a serious delay at US customs? I sold a set to a US buyer while ordering some huge sets from S@H. It had been 7 days since I got S@H's email that it was shipped, and I still have not seen my stuff. While my US buyer are running out of (...)
