I see my order :D

[@BotanicalBob124]

Hi Keith, The last order on monday was mine. You were right they are for flowers. The bonnets are for recolours of the orginial roses set, all the trans peices are for a black light garden moc. I also bought the Dimensions discs because I heard the NFC tag is rewritable. They are! So now I have 5 Lego rick rolls. :)

[@BrickArena]

Thanks for confirming! Sounds like a fun project. As you found, all the "plain" dimension discs are rewritable. Only the actual game discs aren't.

Hey Keith, thanks for the great vids, been working my way through them all, really enjoy them - really appreciate seeing how you run your store. Just to mention that I sell on eBay too and confirm it's a quiet time recently! Thanks again and keep the vids coming!

[@BrickArena]

Glad you like the videos. Good to know its not just me who's quiet on eBay.

Hi Keith, could you kindly share a link to the pots your good lady uses to part out sets for you please? Struggling to find my way through the vast listings on Amazon of pots that look too small. Also, love watching your content 😊 cheers

Thanks for your support and kind words. It certainly takes time and patience and some investment to get going. It can be a real time drain too. Only do it if you really enjoy it, otherwise it can be painful.
