Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 7725  Name: Electric Passenger Train
* 
7725-1 (Inv) Electric Passenger Train
483 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1981
Sets: Train: 12V

* Delete 1 Part 2731a Light Gray Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Curved with Connection Wire and Short Connector
* Add 1 Part 3241 Dark Gray Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Curved (Alternate) (match ID 2)
* Add 1 Part 3241c Dark Gray Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Curved, interference-free (Alternate) (match ID 2)

Comments from Submitter:
Parts 2731 was released in 1986, so it cannot be contained in a set from 1981. If it does, it should also appear in set 7727 from 1983, but it doesn't.

In 1981, the power came to the rails by using a simple 3241 conducting rail (=16x 3241)

In later revisions, the interference-free part 3241c was contained (same as invs from 7730 and 7740).
Therefore 15x 3241 and 1x 3241c as second alternative.

Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 7865  Name: 12V Motor
* 
7865-1 (Inv) 12V Motor
19 Parts, 1980
Sets: Train: Supplemental: 12V

* Add 2 Part x461b Black Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Steam Engine Cylinder, Round Surfaces, Interior Grooves (Alternate)

Comments from Submitter:
Inconsistency among sets.

x461b is the newer part, x461 the older one (because x461b exists only in red and appeared not before 1983 in 7727).

x461b is listed as alternate part in two short-produced sets 7730 and 7750. So, it must also be an alternate part for this set 7865, which was produced from 1980 to 1990.

Hi,


this one is very basic: I'd like to have a watch lists, that allows to "save"
certain items from certain sellers, to find them easily again.

Hi,


I am using lots of wanted lists. Some contain sets, some contain parts, others
contain catalogs and gear.
Unfortunately, the sorting criteria for the contents of wanted lists are set
globally. So every time, I have to switch the sorting when switching between
my wanted lists.
Because imho, sets are best sorted by set numbers. While parts are best sorted
by color or description. Finally, it makes sense to sort catalogs by description
or by year.


Adding sorting criteria individually to each wanted list, would improve the handling
a lot.

Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug or not. But every time I open the "wanted
list" area, all my wanted lists are sorted in newest order. This is really annoying,
I'd like to set another sorting order by default. And that sorting order
(e.g. alphabetically) should be saved and remembered every time I enter my "wanted
lists" area.

kind regards, Christian

Comments from Submitter:
Hello, I got this set in pristine condition with box, and compared the parts to instructions, sorting tray and box pictures. Also compared to Peeron.

Got a MISB 8868 set, and it contained 4697b and 4265b instead of 4697a and 4265a. Also applies to the extra parts, don't know how to fill the form to express this (combined extra+alternate).

Hello,


when buying, Bricklink unfortunately does not offer the possibility to manage
more than one shipping adresses.
This would really be helpful, because I am using different shipping adresses
for national and international orders. For national orders, I prefer shipping
to a Parcel Station (DHL Packstation in Germany). For international orders, I
prefer shipping to my home adress, because international shipping to a german
Packstation is a risk (depending on the service the seller has chosen, it may
work or not).

I already tried two workarounds:

1. Change the registered shipping adress for each order.
E.g.:
- change shipping adress to my local adress and make an international order
- change shipping adress to DHL Packstation and make a national order
Problem: As long as the international seller has'nt shipped, he will receive
a notification that my shipping adress has been changed. So, there's a high risk
that the international seller is going to use the wrong shipping adress

2. Use the additonal message box when checking out the shopping cart.
Problem: most sellers seem to be unable to read this. More than once, national
orders were shipped to my home adress, although I clearly stated the other shipping
adress both into the chckout message box and into the Paypal payment form.

The possibility to manage more than one shipping adress would be a great, great,
great improvement.


kind regards, Christian
