Hi, I received an email asking whether trading minifigures could be allowed on the forums.

I started a discussion amongst the mod team and we have decided that this will not be something that we can allow. I'm afraid it sets an unwanted precedent and if we allow it we will only serve to reproduce it everywhere else.

Apologies, but please do not perpetuate this.

Thanks

Thanks for that Gilly.

can always trade on mm i suppose.

Skeeter · 9 Jan 2013 at 16:28

They don't fit into the categories on the MM, so I doubt it.

Gilly, I assume contacting someone through their trust to get their email and then arranging a swap away from the forums would be allowed? Actually using the forums to organise and facilitate swaps is not?

Rotty · 9 Jan 2013 at 16:28

I doubt it would be allowed in MM as the items allowed are quite specific

what happens off forum is up to you, any mention,hints,offers etc on the forum would normally breach rules

If you put Lego up for sale, I'll ban you and then take your Lego

Daughter's Lego girl failed to brake for the bend and ended up in a tree. Luckily my army men were on hand to tidy up. Sadly, the doctors say the Lego girl won't walk again. Or live.

Skeeter · 10 Jan 2013 at 09:21

What about posting pictures of our collection and then posting another picture of the swaps we have (as has happened many times in this thread already)? People can then contact us via e-mail in trust to arrange a swap?

Or would this somehow breach?

I think that would class as hints, maybe Gilly can clarify

As said nothing should happen on the forum for it.

Free Lego coming in the Sun soon.

The only time I can justify The Sun.

Skeeter · 10 Jan 2013 at 20:17
