I never noticed this for any set before, but the inventory shows a change log.
When you click on it no changes are shown. You might report this as a bug.

There is no link to inv change log on inventory page for this but
"...inventoried this Set on Oct 3, 2003, inventory last updated on Oct 19, 2003."
There is more such things, yesterday I notice this also here
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?M=sw052
Admin inventoried this Minifig on Feb 6, 2003, inventory last updated on Feb
7, 2003.
Here is only one day of difference but also no change log.
Was there any inventory change log invented on Bricklink in 2003? I think not
and that is why this discrapancy. Check here
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogLogs.asp?utm_content=subnav
for inventories first logs are from 2004 for catalog from 2005.

Marek and Randy, what I noticed with a few of these sets around 1990 is that
there were typically two editions - an early version without the separator and
a later version with the separator. I added an inventory note to at least one
such set:

I would like to see the absence of data simply as zeros, so like any other item,
I can discern how well that part sells. Seeing that this part basically never
sells is more certain information than seeing nothing at all.
The absence of the price guide makes it look like a catalog error.

Price guide only appears for green with option for red, however the red variant
shows as an option in the one set it appears in:
Red variant shown in set inventory that gives price guide AND green variant.
I'm not sure if this is a duplicate page issue or the price doesn't
show for pieces that have no sales, which it should imo, because otherwise at
first glance it looks like the piece does not exist in the catalog.

I think that this part on photo is LBG but due to lighting conditions could be
overexposured when taking photo. Model is black mainly so camera could had longer
exposure and you could had such effect.

I'm currently adding counterparts to the catalogue for this set
I didn't have the complete set when it arrived at my home, and upon dismantling

I'm stuck on 1 part.
It's the LBG 1x9 lift arms that have a stickered anti-slip tread pattern.
I can see one in the main image as above, and it seems to be on a WHITE 1x9 lift
arm, (underneath the driver's door) but there are no White 1x9 arms listed
within the set's inventory.
Can anyone verify whether this is indeed the case?
Also, if anyone has the whole set, can you let me know how many of the stickers
were applied to the appropriate lift arms and what colour they were, as the sticker
sheet is showing 6 of the anti-slip treads, and there are 5 of the LBG lift arms

Hi stickers must be always applied as instruction shows. If instruction is imprecise
then official photos of model should be check. In this case it easy.
Two stickers with anti-slip tread pattern are applied to LBG 1x9 liftarms.
Instruction book2 pages 20 and 22
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/6004021.pdf
Four are applied to four black 1x8 tiles

Thank you so much for that.
The tile is obviously what has stumped me as I have those as well..
I'll be adding that as well too...

Well, you deserve a raise if I could afford it.
I never had a better employee, to be honest, I never ever had an employee but
otherwise you would be my employee of the month!

Minifigure inventories, by the way, can't include alternate parts. Okay,
so here is what I did:
1. Every affected minifigure in both sets now include inventory notes.
2. Both sets now include inventory notes.
3. Both sets now include the other heads as alternates. This is a new approach
which Marek and I are trying out.
This should correct all the issues you raised.
Three of the four possible variants have been confirmed to have appeared, so
the fourth variant (black eyebrows, blocked stud: 3626bpb0628) is the only one
I added without having confirmation that it appeared in the sets. I think the
likelihood that this variant would have appeared in these very popular sets at
some point in their production run was high enough to include it.

Thanks for taking care in such a short while!
I will go on putting them in my inventory tomorrow with an extra note and link

Give me a few minutes while I see what can be done with the inventories of these
two sets to make things better.

| I have 2 Lego education sets, 9348 and 9349.
In both sets the males have head 3626bpb0628 (head with black eyebrows) instead
of 3626bpb0121 (head with brown eyebrows).
In both sets the heads are not even with different eyebrows but also with stud
recessed instead of blocked open stud with triangle.
There is a note below the 22 minifigs of set 9348 regarding the two possible
different heads, not with the set 9349.
Also only a note below the list of 22 minifigs, NOT with the individual minifigs.
Eventhough the minifigs of set 9348 have a note regarding the black instead of
brown eyebrows I think this would not be enough, it does not show on a picture
or with the minifig inventory.
So it is very rudimentary in my opinion.
Although I have the minifigs in hands I do not have the possibility anymore to
upload the right minifigs due to the use of an iPad. Bricklink needs a code below
the minifig and parts, this cannot be done with an iPad.
Bricklink cadmin can make a note below set 9349 like with set 9348 but I think
this is not the real Bricklinkway.
If customers do not read the line below the 22 minifigs they might believe they
received the wrong minifig because inventory does not show the alternate head
and because the note regarding the different heads/eyebrows do not show at the
minifigure itself.
What can be done with this isue due to the lack of a laptop/computer?

| There are a number of places where Black pins are used instead of LBG:
a) Step 5 Page 22: 4 black plus 4 LBG INSTEAD of 8 LBG
b) Step 23 Page 30: 2 black plus 2 LBG INSTEAD of 4 LBG
c) Step 25 Page 32: 2 black plus 2 LBG INSTEAD of 4 LBG
Back to the original question, on Page 46 step 12: The way the two tan connectors
#1 connect to the assembly are different as per the pictures. One uses two black
pins, and the other uses two pins with stop bush. There is another difference
in the pictures, but
I'll look a bit further into it.

| I pieced together a clone turbo tank from a lot I bought. I gathered the parts
for the version 7261-1 with the Light up Mace Windu. Now I am trying to build
the set from instructions online and they all have the parts for the non-light
up version (at least from the parts list on here). The instructions even show
the light-up fig but have the parts for the non-light up one.
I am not home so I don't have access to the other parts to switch it over
and I also have the light up fig not the non-light up figure so I would like
to build it for 7261-1.
Can anyone direct me to the instructions or how to use
in place of these?
I'm confused and any help would be appreciated .

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of stickered counterparts which have not

Those parts are called stickered counterparts. You can find some of them for
this set in the inventory. The others have not yet been added to the catalog.
To add them to your store inventory as official parts you would need to first
add them to the BrickLink catalog. Otherwise, you may sell them as custom items.

I added about half of them and still haven't gotten around to the other half.
Honestly, since you have the items there in front of you it might be better
if you added them to the catalog yourself. You have more knowledge of these
older items than I do and you can add weights, dimensions, years, etc. whereas
I cannot.
To RobErNat:
There is no compensation that I am able to offer for inventories. As for what
BrickLink offers, you already know what that is and I don't believe it will
change in the immediate future.
As for people being less proactive on submitting inventories, it's hard to
say with any degree of certainty. We're definitely doing pretty well with
this year's sets (659 sets released so far in 2018 and about 91% have been
inventoried). However, at least 236 of this year's sets (just over a third
of them) were inventoried by BL employees or volunteers.
Historically, that seems fairly normal. BrickLink staff have always supplied
a high number of inventories going back to when the site was first launched.
If you look at the credits for sets inventoried, 6 of the top 10 contributors
are (or were) BrickLink staff members.
To mfav:
I believe that you're saying the part assembly shown in your photo should
be included in the catalog? You're welcome to submit it and see what happens.
There are still no rules on what will or won't be accepted when it comes
to part assemblies.

Which includes 'items marked for deletion'
It will be hard to get those inventoried
Granted, only a few among those 410
I might be wrong, but I'm sensing people seem to be less pro active on submitting
inventories, maybe the current 'offer' ain't good enough
For instance, I notice a lot of 'Lego brand Store' kits are uninventoried,
I got a few (like 'several' from that list, but hey, they will drop

This assembly is only in counterparts of set inventories, and (very annoying
to many) its high cost parts are in set inventories instead.

The color of those parts is not Bright Light Orange. They are a poorly dyed variation
of Yellow that approaches the color of Bright Light Orange. LEGO shows that this
part was always made in Yellow and not Bright Light Orange. The inventories here
should be corrected to make sure they are all listed as Yellow. Each seller can
then list that their supply of them is not the typical Yellow, but the darker
variation.

Since when does TLG's assessment of color factor in to the inventory status
on BrickLink? If that were the case DBG LBG and RB would not exist as colors.
|
Umm, every time? DBG, LBG, and RB (LEGO colors Dark Stone Grey, Medium Stone
Grey, and Reddish Brown respectively) are all considered different colors by
LEGO compared to their old counterparts (LEGO colors Dark Grey, Grey, and Earth
Orange). BrickLink also recognizes all of these six colors separately. I truly
don't understand what you are getting at here.
| I agree that what you're saying is the way it is, currently. What I do not
agree with is why. Why should every seller list their supply as not being typical
yellow, when that is the case 100% of the time (at least for 2014-2018 era sets
we have inventoried).
|
It was just a suggestion, since the case you describe is, in fact, *not* 100%
of the time.
| I made this post because I believe there should be a note on the part page to
address this. There are several sets which do supposedly include this part in
BLO, and so I would ask you, do those sets actually contain a part which is markedly
different than the Yellow ones we have pulled out of sets?
|
Your original post said nothing about adding a catalog note to the part. And
once again, the color is neither Bright Light Orange nor Yellow. Yes, it is markedly
different from Yellow, but a seller adding a note to their own supply of said
parts would have sufficed as a solution.
| As an aside, there are far more frivolous notations (as the notations present
with part 3626b, for example). It is my belief that the c-admins are unaware
of this issue, so I am bringing it to their attention. I highly doubt the ideal
solution is what you say it is.
|
Maybe not an ideal solution in your opinion, but a solution none-the-less. I
don't consider a catalog note any more ideal.
| This part is not yellow, period. And there are a lot of variations with the color Yellow, true, but this is not one of them.
|
Yes, this is one of them.

bright light orange for this part and the piston head because they are clearly
not BLO. Those parts now only appear in inventories in yellow.
If at some point in the future a new color is added to the catalog to account
for these two parts, then we can go in and change all the necessary inventories.
For now, though, this seems like the most sensible solution.

In my opinion it is neither color, certainly the 2853s seem to be between the
two (as previously mentioned, improperly dyed yellow). I have found one other
part so far that is similar, which are yellow technic axles. I think a note to
let shoppers know about the issue is necessary, since those looking to complete
older models will be in for a surprise.
Additionally, the 3 or so sets that have been inventoried with the part in BLO,
may be erroneous as whoever did that inventory may have interpreted the crankshaft
as being BLO when really it is neither yellow nor BLO. However it is the "soft"
matte plastic type, which tends to run a bit light in general, so I would be
more inclined to place it in the BLO category, and have listed it as such, until
I see evidence of a true BLO crankshaft.
But NONE of the 120+ crankshafts we have pulled are actually yellow, the only
yellow examples I have found were present in some early 1990s-era display models
we have collected.
|
Thought I would check on these parts from a new set I have been parting out and
the colour difference is quite noticeable. I wonder if a new colour should be
set up for this as I agree that buyers purchasing for older sets are going to
be confused.
The crank arms do have more of a matt finish but are definitely darker than the
yellow as are the piston heads.
(the 1x4 plate is BLO)

It has been documented. The set inventory has been updated with the changes

Interesting looks like in all inventories where "99" MID is used in this new
inventory page is is change to "1" MID. Checked only few from this list
https://brickset.com/sets/list-18333 for example
The same sitation as you described it.
