OK great

I've cancelled the original inventory as I couldn't add the newly added
parts from the catalogue, and the newer inventory is now submitted for approval.

The descriptions are adequate I think, but hopefully someone can submit split
images for the yellow 'face' elements, as this will be better than the
ones supplied by LEGO.COM

If this can be approved, it will be great as this means I'll be able to part
out the 2 sets that I have.

Thanks!

Paul

Ok thanks for message, will check it in just a moment

I've also added the correct colour image for the Dark Azure 2x3x2 curved
side brick, as it's a new colour for that part.

Cheers!

Paul

For quite some time I've wondered why the term "PCC" is used on Bricklink,
instead of the LEGO-Company term "element id."

Does anyone know?

PCC describes the code better. The first PCC's were literally a combination
of a 4-digit part code and a 2-digit color code. Some of those original PCC's
are still being used:

3024+02

3024+21

3024+23

3024+24

The new 7-digit codes aren't "smart" like that, but they do represent the
part in a specific color, as opposed to the 5-digit mold number. PCC is easier
to read and type, too.

I think the question was “Why ‘PCC’ and not ‘Element ID,’ TLG’s term?”
As TLG calls PCCs “Element ID”s, the mould number being a “Design ID.”

All decorated parts have their own entry with the same number as the main part
plus pb and following number in the numbering system of them in Bricklink.
So look at 4198 as an example, you have four new decotared version of this part.
Type in search 4198pb* (with asterisk), sort by "item number" and "down", result:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=4198pb%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
See all decoreted have their own separate entry. So you must now crate whole
new entry for four your parts. Thanks to this searching you see the next free
number will be
4198pb31. So crate 4 parts 4198pb with following numbers 4198pb31, 4198pb32,
4198pb33, 4198pb34, describe them in name - add in name what is their pattern.
You can see also in this search how other are named, you can create somthing
similar. But in name for this part there always must be "Duplo, Brick 2 x 4
x 2 Rounded Ends ... Pattern" for "..." you enter your description of pattern.
Then add photos for such crated parts.
Now repeat this for all your new decorated bricks: 31110, 3011, 98223, 31111.
Create new entries with "pb".

I actually saw where I went wrong.

I'd listed the images before I'd changed the numbers of the parts, and
this accepted the images which was wrong as the part(s) were already in the catalogue!

I think I've done it correctly now, and all it need is for the naming of
the parts to be tidied up.

I've also added the dimensions of the set, and if the parts can be approved,
I can add them to the inventory.

Regards,

Paul

OK great

  Well, how can I submit images when they are already available as I saw when I
first put the set's number into the correct box?

You must save these images to your computer and then submit them to bricklink
catalog.
when you were making inventory these images are only for help purpose, and are
taken from external LEGO database, so for the missing ones they are not in the
Bricklink database.
Images you can save from LEGO replacment parts service or also from here for
example:
https://brickset.com/inventories/10861-1 (this is your set)
Brickset takes these inventories from the same source.

  Why can't the system take copies of those images and match them to the part?

I'm guessing that I'll need to change the part numbers from the LEGO
code to the BrickLink ones?

Yes numbers for the parts must be in bricklink style

  more work....

The are still beeing listed if they are added to the catalog, we don't have
rule that they must be added to the catalog in the same time when the set is
inventoried. They can be added later to the catalog and to the set.
So for this set nobody yet added these stickered parts to the catalog. That is
why they aren't in these sets inventories. They missing.

   I was verifying some set inventories and noticed all the following sets have
no stickered parts as CPs:

 
Set No: 41322  Name: Snow Resort Ice Rink
* 
41322-1 (Inv) Snow Resort Ice Rink
295 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2017
Sets: Friends
 
Set No: 41323  Name: Snow Resort Chalet
* 
41323-1 (Inv) Snow Resort Chalet
392 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2017
Sets: Friends
 
Set No: 41327  Name: Mia's Bedroom
* 
41327-1 (Inv) Mia's Bedroom
81 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2018
Sets: Friends
 
Set No: 41328  Name: Stephanie's Bedroom
* 
41328-1 (Inv) Stephanie's Bedroom
90 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2018
Sets: Friends
 
Set No: 41329  Name: Olivia's Deluxe Bedroom
* 
41329-1 (Inv) Olivia's Deluxe Bedroom
159 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2018
Sets: Friends

For my own purposes, I have put stickered parts in the comments section of Brickstock
as I verify my inventories, but I liked having them listed as CPs.

If you have stickered parts for these sets maybe you could add them.

"To add the stickered part to the catalog, first submit the part to the catalog
https://www.bricklink.com/wantedCatalog.asp and then upload a picture for the
part https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page. The picture must
show the sticker correctly applied to the part as it appears in the set instructions.
After the part has been approved and added to the catalog submit an Inventory
Change Request https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp to add the new
part to the inventory as a counterpart"

It doesn't matter how "right" you do it, so don't worry about that too
much. The catalog administrators can fix things like part numbers and titles.
You do need to add images, though.

Having said that, formatting your submissions correctly will greatly speed up
the process of approval. Here's a brief tutorial using one of the parts
you've submitted:

[P=6217957]

First thing: that 7-digit number is called a Part Color Code or PCC. These are
unique codes assigned by TLG which identify a particular part in a specific color.
A part in white, for example may have the PCC 6135522, but the same part in
black has the PCC 6001664. These numbers are not used as item numbers, but are
added as PCCs with a catalog change request after item approval.

To create the correct part number for your pending part, you need to find out
which item number is available. To do that, search for the part number with
an asterisk added. In this case, the part number is 98223, so search for 98223*.
You should see this:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?searchMethod=searchBoth&q=98223*&itemBrand=1000&catType=&itemYear=&catID=&catLike=W

Then sort your results by Item Number and Down. This will reveal that the most
recently used part number was 98223pb014. Therefore, this pending part will
be numbered 98223pb015 when it is approved.

There is good news, though. You can edit your pending submissions by going to
your My Activity page and looking for pending items. There you can change titles,
categories, part numbers, etc.

Is finding the appropriate item number too much work? Yes. Ideally you should
be able to enter the part number and the system could simply assign the next
patterned number. Ideally there would also be less poverty in the world. We
must work with what we have.

Second thing: all titles should be submitted as you would want to see them in
the catalog. For this pending part it means capitalizing the last three words
(Crossed Arms Pattern).

You've got the weight and dimensions added, so I think that otherwise you're
good on this one once you add an image. The same issues exist with your other
pending submissions, like the title for this part:

[P=6217961]

Like I say, though, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your submissions
should be approved, it will just take longer because of the extra work which
must go into spiffing them up to be official catalog entries.

Thank you, by the way, for taking the time to inventory this set. Duplo is one
of the neglected themes for which sets can go years without ever seeing an inventory.

Well, how can I submit images when they are already available as I saw when I
first put the set's number into the correct box?

Why can't the system take copies of those images and match them to the part?

The images can be added from there, but you'll need to do it yourself. People
do it all the time for Duplo parts:

* 
3664pb32 Duplo, Brick 2 x 2 x 2 Slope Curved Double with Clock Hands 4:57 Pattern
Parts: DUPLO, Brick, Decorated

* 
35734 Duplo, Train Cabin Roof 4 x 4
Parts: DUPLO, Train
 
Part No: 36075pb01  Name: Duplo, Train Steam Engine Cabin 4 x 8 x 3 1/2 with Yellow No. 925 Pattern
* 
36075pb01 Duplo, Train Steam Engine Cabin 4 x 8 x 3 1/2 with Yellow No. 925 Pattern
Parts: DUPLO, Train


Right, I've submitted the inventory of the set, and the additional printed
parts have now been added to the catalogue, using the codes found on the set
box's inventory.

I hope that I've done it right(???)

  Hi all.

I've got 2 copies of a Duplo set that has not been inventoried.

I've tried to submit the inventory, and I apparently need to supply information
about a few parts that are not within the catalogue, but there IS information
about the parts as BrickLink is getting the data direct from LEGO

What do I need to do?

It's mostly the printed parts that I'm having issues with.

Please help as I can't sell the parts as the set isn't inventoried

You want to inventory Duplo set yes?
I've see that you submited to the catalog already 8 inventories. Submiting
of inventories isn't change so much from time when you last submited. Now
it is easer than ever.
Submit incomplete inventory it will be pending. I think you using autofill opition.
When you submit inventory of the set and it don't have all parts necessary
in the catalog but they are listed in LEGO inventory, they are marked red, delete
them from the form to go further. Then add the missing parts to the catalog,
after they approval, add them to the inventory which will be pending. After you
complete inventory and will be OK, We will approve it Then this set will
be available to part out.
I checked you credits and I see you also submited parts and photos to the catalog
so you should be familiar with the process.

regards,

Marek

I understand how the process works, but I'm always struggled with being able
to create suitable images of the 'missing' parts that need to be added
to the catalogue, which is why I was asking if the process can/had been made
simpler as the information is available already.

8 times out if 10, the images that I supply are too big, and I need to cut/crop
the image to get it small enough to be useful, which I think is too much of a
lengthy process, where the information is already available, so why can't

I hope you can understand why I'm asking in this regard.

Yours,

Paul

Look here, there is no problem to supply Lego photos from their database for
decorated Duplo bricks. See how many this year were added only with official
Lego photo and not original submiter's photo:

I personally think that

9498-1 (Inv) Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter

has a better design.

It also has an inventory that you can use.

Cheers,

Thanks for the explanation.

So yes, the notes and Alternate Parts section does have the alternate parts,
but these aren't just alternate parts. This is a complete change in inventory
count. There should be at a minimum a notation in the main entry itself ...
and possibly a 10214-2 catalog entry entirely so that the part counts match.

How does one go about requesting such a change?

The catalog entry here shows 4287. Yet, there is no supplemental information

If anything, the box art WITHOUT the tree in the corner, but instead showing

Is the catalog entry here not up to date?

Take a look at the note at the foot of the inventory:

there's a problem with entry 4 ("Entry #4: New Match ID is same as Existing

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=79118-1

Extras can have match ID but it must be new number. and in this form you have
"3" match ID three times.
As you can see one sword w regular is conected with unique ID with altenate for
him. Extra one must have new unique ID and second alternate must be added to
match extra I hope I explained it clearly

More simply speaking if you want do add alternate for an extra then part must
be repeated in alternate section with new ID. One connected with regular and
one connected with extra. This is currently the only way to do it.

I don't understand why you state that I used match ID 3 three times. It's
only there twice in my form.

It seems to me that you're explaining exactly what I've done. I used
match ID 2 twice (one in the regular section, one in the alternate) and match
ID 3 twice (one in the extra section, one in the alternate).

/Jan

In my opinion there is definitly a bug in inv change request formula. You can't
add match ID to extra when this is the only change for it, but when I also change
it from extra to regular (see the first screenshot), everything went well (see
second screenshoot). So I tested my hypothesis on second extra to change (there
was change in part quantity). So I added only "4" as matching ID and see the
result on third and fourth screenshoot, the same error. So it looks like you
can't add match ID when part stays extra it must be changed from extra to
regular simultaneously.
But we can moved it back to the extra section after approving your request.
So this is the soultion for you for now. Add this change request with changing
this part also extra to regular and when approving it we will move it where it
belongs

BTW I remember that recently I had the same situation when adding my own change
request for something, the same problem, but I didn't took care much because
I could fix it after approving.

Originally I believe match IDs on extras were not allowed, and only recently
has this become the practice, and only in cases where the Inv Admin determines
to handle the problem in that way.

However, this is by far the trickiest form on the site and I have a request in
to remove the logic that gives error messages for duplicated data. It would be
far better if the system just ignored such data.

The ironic thing is that the form actually *requires* duplicated data with the
Item Type field. There is no need for this field as the Item Type can always
be determined from the Item Number. A request has been submitted to remove this
obstacle as well.

I've founded. I had the same problem as you with this change request:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1099942
so changed extra to regular (last line of change)
and then fix it after approving.

In the recent production runs,
 
Part No: 4854  Name: Slope, Inverted 45 4 x 4 Double
* 
4854 Slope, Inverted 45 4 x 4 Double
Parts: Slope, Inverted
has been replaced with

* 
72454 Slope, Inverted 45 4 x 4 Double with 2 Holes
Parts: Slope, Inverted
which have holes.
So TLG added 8x White
 
Part No: 3020  Name: Plate 2 x 4
* 
3020 Plate 2 x 4
Parts: Plate
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.

Funny you mention this. I was building an alternate build of 10214 in the Modular
style and they kept calling for white 2x4 plates and I did not have them. Now
I know why as I've had a couple spare 10214's for ages. Thanks.

Yes you have right, sorry, I'm tired today so all these 2 and 3 just blurred
and I didn't notice
I'm now checking your problem and I thik that just in a few minuts have a
solution for you. I think there is a bug and you can't change Extras Match
ID by this form when you don't change anything else in this line.

Extras can have match ID but it must be new number. and in this form you have
"3" match ID three times.
As you can see one sword w regular is conected with unique ID with altenate for
him. Extra one must have new unique ID and second alternate must be added to
match extra I hope I explained it clearly

More simply speaking if you want do add alternate for an extra then part must
be repeated in alternate section with new ID. One connected with regular and
one connected with extra. This is currently the only way to do it.

I don't understand why you state that I used match ID 3 three times. It's
only there twice in my form.

It seems to me that you're explaining exactly what I've done. I used
match ID 2 twice (one in the regular section, one in the alternate) and match
ID 3 twice (one in the extra section, one in the alternate).

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?

Can anyone tell me what's wrong? The system rejects my form by saying that
there's a problem with entry 4 ("Entry #4: New Match ID is same as Existing
Match ID."). But the item has no match ID yet, and the match ID I entered is
not in use yet. Is it because extras can't have match IDs?

Yes, you can create the inventory here:

However, you must have a brand new set in hand to create the inventory for this
set. Let us know if you run into any difficulties and need assistance.

  Hi,
Is it possible that the inventory of the set 70567 can be completed?
On 5 minifigs I am unable to see the parts because the "item consists of" is
not available.

I don't have this set, so I am unable to complete the inventory. The submitter
of the set inventory did not add inventories for any of the figures - the existing
inventories of the other figures in that set were done by five different people.

There has been some discussion behind the scenes about requiring that minifigure
inventories be completed before the set inventory is approved. However, this
is not currently a requirement.

The best I can tell you is that I will try to look at uninventoried 2018 minifigures
when I get some spare time and see what I can do about adding their inventories.

  I have come across a set that is missing 2 of the counterparts. I have located
them and I want to request for them to be added to the parts inventory for the
set. The two parts are
"45677pb001 Wedge 4 x 4 x 2/3 Triple Curved with Fire Logo Badge and 2 White
Chevrons Pattern (Sticker)"
and
"52031pb003 Wedge 4 x 6 x 2/3 Triple Curved with Fire Logo Badge and 2 White
Chevrons Pattern (Sticker)"

They are both currently showing as counterparts for set 7945 Fire Station. They
are identical to the two same pieces in the set 7208 Fire Station.

Can someone request for these to be added, or let me know how to do it?
Thanks

You mange to do it quite right

  Hi,
I think the parts list for the Black Seas Baraccuda is wrong.
It says it has 16 of these:
Brown Wheel 8mm D. x 6mm
Can this be fixed?

Yes, it can be fixed. But first we'll need to know what's wrong.

I'm so sorry. I was wrong. I searched the instructions many times and couldnt
find them. Someone just pointed out that they are part of the canons.

Why do you think that's wrong?

It has 4 cannons, and 16 wheels for those 4 cannons. I recently built it myself,
and that was correct for my instructions.
