Bricklink Seller Review - Timeless Toy Bricks

It's a trifecta! All three of these words nail the essence of what this about. Popular Toy Bricks wouldn't have the same ring. It may even give the impression of being temporal. Timeless Plastic Bricks would feel sort of industrial or impersonal. Timeless Toy Blocks would make me think of wood. When avoiding the trade name for legal purposes, we tend to land more in the 'plastic' and 'brick' category. So lots of you have stores with names like "So-and-so's Plastic Bricks" or just "Somebody's Bricks" (guilty here). But it's true. What would you rather call them?

Recommendation
The proprietor was very gracious in letting me remove some items that I had ordered and adding a total of two more batches to my original grab. The removal is not something I test often but most sellers have beeen amenable. A few state in their store terms that they won't allow it. The premium on Priority shipping seems a little high so I curated my order to come in at 13oz and stay within the first class range. Overall selection is very good even if the prices feel a touch high.
