I don't understand how to find threads for jeans and imitation leather (bag sewing) which are thicker than fabric thread.

I recently bought a rare LEGO set, and unfortunately, the original box arrived visibly damaged. As a collector, this was incredibly disappointing—not just because of the aesthetics, but because the condition of the original packaging significantly affects the value and integrity of the set. When I contacted Galaxus about the issue, this was their response: “Please note that the outer packaging and original packaging are used to protect products during transportation. Damage – especially to the original packaging – may be unattractive, but is not a cause for concern as long as the product itself is undamaged and in perfect working order. Damage to the packaging can therefore not be processed as transport damage.” Honestly, I found this quite frustrating. This kind of reply completely downplays how important the original box is—especially for rare or retired sets. To many of us in the LEGO community, the box is PART of the product. It’s not just cardboard. It represents the set’s history, collector value, and resale potential. A damaged box can mean a significant drop in value—even if the bricks inside are untouched. I’m shocked that a sales operations specialist handling collectible items doesn’t seem to recognize this. I’m curious—has anyone else had similar experiences? How do you usually deal with sellers who don’t understand the collector’s perspective?

How can I filter printers according to the manufacturer's warranty period? Reason why I want to do this: A manufacturer that "normally" gives a 5-year warranty seems to be more convinced of its product than the competition, which only gives a 24-month warranty. For the phones, see Fairphone vs competitor. With the Fairphone, I received a 5-year warranty with no ifs and buts. In the meantime, however, it is already 5 years old. I would like to have the same experience with the printer ;) I can filter for many things, but not for the warranty period. This should be easy to implement. If other filtering is also possible, isn't it?

I am looking for a cassette where the key can only be removed when it is locked. Are there any models with this security function? I haven't found anything about this in the descriptions.
