Just to reiterate, I am not in favor of wheel and tire assemblies in inventories
unless they came that way and are listed in the Regular Items section. Wheels
and tires are not hard to take apart. My kids have been doing it since they were
young.

I remember having had problems with this one as kid:
* |  | 8c02 (Inv) Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Wheel Holder Bottom with Red Wheel with Black Tire Offset Tread Small (8 / 3464c02)
Parts: Aircraft |
(Both wheel from plate and then tire from hub.)

| | I was Googling for some pictures of the LEGO Tower Bridge, set 10214. What I
find interesting, is that there are two different versions of the set BOX --
with one version showing 4287 pieces, and another version showing 4295 pieces.
The catalog entry here shows 4287. Yet, there is no supplemental information
as to what happened?
If anything, the box art WITHOUT the tree in the corner, but instead showing
the Expert label/icon, looks like the more recent box. And it is the one showing
4295 pieces.
Is the catalog entry here not up to date?
|
In the recent production runs,
has been replaced with
which have holes.
So TLG added 8x White
so that you don’t see the coloured parts inside the towers through the holes.
And 4287 + 8 = 4295.
The match ID for the alternate model is 99.
Funnily, with these 2x4 plates, there are Medium Blue 1x2 plates that are not
useful anymore but that are still included.

It would be very nice if there will be an option to invite somebody to an order

to my friend's order from my own account. It would be a spearated batch named
to me.
Obviously it could be a solution to share each's password, but obvious security
reason it's not really a fun solution.
And also: it would be nice if we have the itemNo with link to the catalog on
the shop's store page like in the global store page.

First, sharing WLs is a “feature coming soon!” (look at the setup screen for
any of your WL).
Second, you can download ( button on the WL’s page ) and upload ( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/upload.page
) WLs. So you and your friends can share them through other means (e-mail…).

What do you mean by “on the next page”  ?
Selecting a colour doesn’t change the page.

Okay, I get it: clicking on a colour name in the Known Color column in the Color
Info tab, not the colour selection box on top of the picture.
Yes, the link leads to a page (e.g. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=4073&colorID=36&in=A
) that shows the part in another colour.

Anyway, when I select a colour, I get the picture in that colour.
And changing the lower tab to “Price Guide” instead of “Color Info” (my default)
shows me the price guide for the colour I just selected.

BrickLink... please show the image of the color selected.

What would be nice (too) would be sorting the Known colours by name….

Paired part entries may make things marginally easier for sellers, but the added
burden of work on everyone involved does not, IMO, justify them. Also, I doubt
they'd be used enough to justify their existence.
|
Also, don’t forget that when you have “left arm” and “right arm” in a wanted
list, “left and right arms” is never suggested, and vice versa.
The complete minifig isn’t suggested either if you parted it out in your WL.
Same for sets.
When looking for a minifig part (which is rare but happens), I add both the part
and the minifigs that use it (if they are affordable). I would have to do the
same if there were paired parts….
Of course, if the search algorithms were to be modified to help me do that, that
would be wonderful.
And if they could also help search for multiple colours without having to look
for N/A and a bunch of colours I don’t want…
And if they could point me to a set or incomplete set that has a bunch of the
parts I want and which is for sale for cheaper than I would have to pay for the
parts…
And I’d want a poney too.

Lego.
I find it a bit misleading since the head on the actual fig is garbage and certainly
not like the BL minifig photo. My head is such a thin yellow that the black
shows through in most spots.

Yes, the shadows on the chin make me say “render!”
The head’s picture is more realistic:

| | i have one suggestion that i think all would greatly appreciate. the function
capability to isolate and block individual sellers. what i mean is to make it
where if you have unsatisfactory service, you the buyer, can highlight the specific
seller and put him on your own block list. much like facebook. so that way, you
no longer see the seller when you search for future lego products. for the bad
shops will be filtered out and you wont see them. i just had an order that i
cancelled. i was instructed to go thru paypal and enter all their info in order
to buy their products. instead of going thru bricklink to get thru to paypal.
in other words, they wanted to circumvent the percentage you guys make when each
sell happens. so i refuse to let them circumvent and cut you out. pretty sure
they will give me a bad review. dont care. i believe in being honest. but i find
it frustrating that i have to write down each bad seller and have to review my
own list before buying. that is timeconsuming. appreciate it!

See https://www.bricklink.com/pref_favorite.asp?v=L&viewType=
And all the settings for the different searches….

As I had mentioned, I only had one 3942a (in any color) and it came with this
set. Why is this rejected?

I think you should take this as a nudge to go in a different direction. Instead
of splitting hairs over these early variants, there is a lot of basic inventory
work to do on the site, even in older inventories. Wrong quantities, wrong colors,
missing things...
If you really like variants perhaps you should start working more with newer
inventories where there is easy access to sealed contents. You may find it more
rewarding to work with first hand information.

That doesn’t answer the question.
FWIW, I have five White 3942*, two come from 6970-1, two come from two 6920-1,
and one comes from 6881-1.
Three of them are 3942a, two are 3942c.
Therefore, two 3942a come from 6970-1 (1980), the two 3942c come from the two
6920-1 (1986), and that leaves one 3942a for 6881-1 (1984).
On the other hand, I have three Black 3942*, two from 1212-1 and one from 6951-1.
One is a 3942c. I can’t say for sure from where it comes, maybe my 1212-1 had
one of each….
