The seller refused to refund even with that "evidence", so I went to customer service as all my appeal options had already been burned. They told me they'll be banning the seller from the platform I'm the next 48 hours as he was required to refund in the event I have proof of non-delivery.

It's still unclear if I'll get my $3 back.

An update! The seller was issued a warning over refusing to refund me. The seller then sent me an abusive message.

I notified AliExpress and they issued me with a $46.75 account credit (I had no idea this was a thing) as compensation.

I just wanted my $3 back lol. Great outcome!

Lol, did the seller get themselves banned over $3?

How hard is it to make a new account for a seller?

It appears that way yes. Seller accounts seem to be tied to business licenses (at least for Chinese sellers), so I guess it depends how hard it is to get a new business name/number.

I'd guess that's pretty easy.

That’s nice. Is it all stickers or a mix of stickers and printed parts?

I did an aliexpress Lego AMG Mercedes last night, pretty good for $10. It was missing one part, but it had three extra parts and I was able to substitute the missing part so I think I come out equal. There are a bunch more stickers but I didn’t bother with them.

That’s a better story - I should put his helmet on the seat and find a pissed off face for him, but he’s really there because he won’t actually fit in the car. I think I’m just going to take out the drivers seat so I can get him in there.

The bonnet/hood up because there’s a neat little engine build in there and none of my other Lego-ish cars have opening parts. The engine is designed like a V8 but if you leave it in the V configuration the bonnet sits up a little too high so I had to push them down making it a flat-8.

I bought five more ali Lego cars today because I’m enjoying them so much, including a Toyota AE86 with stickers for a tofu store.

A 100-pack used to be like $4 shipped, they are absolutely amazing! The sad thing is that you run out of things to clean, and there is still like 80 left.

What search terms do you guys use to look for legos? I tried combinations of toy/brick/model, wondering what else works. It seems as if they've blown everything with the term 'Lepin' off the site? That, or the search broke when I looked.

Search by the main Lego set number or by the number of known copies, which you can find by searching the main Lego set number on Brick4.

“Lego MOC [subject]” works for me. MOC is Lego terminology for My Own Creation and I think covers a lot of the designs they steal from rebrickable and the like.
“Lego speed champions” works for all the Lego cars I’ve been buying.

And as mentioned above, if it’s a real Lego set you can usually search the set number. Like “Lego 10316” will get you a bunch of listings for the amazing Rivendell kit that’s been in my cart for ages but I don’t have the willpower to purchase.

e: that’s totally Nostromo
