| A small asterisk (*) below a thumbnail image indicates that there is a large
image (like the one you see on this page) available when you click on the small
thumbnail.
An exclamation mark (!) below a thumbnail image indicates that there is 3D data
available.

When you view a set inventory, each part listed usually has a ! or a * (or both)

Yellow 1x1 round plate open stud is part of this set, not an alternate. It needs to be moved into normal inventory.

| I'm not sure that it's only the sun light in itself that causes discoloration.
In my old store inventory, I've found a small number of parts that were
fully discolored, yet they were not exposed to direct sun light.
On the other hand, I had the little Filmore VW bus (from Cars) in which certain
colors on one side became discolored.

| | Hello,
So I am well aware of the "sun burnt" effect on white, blues, yellows, the old
light grays and among other colors, however I am sorting through quite a bit
of used Lego with the old light grays and I pulled quite a bit of them out believing
they were discolored by the sun. Upon closer inspection, they appear to be quite
uniform in their color, including underneath, just definitely a different shade
than the others and not quite like the "sun burnt" ones. Does anyone else out
there recall issues with Lego having off color batches on old light grays in
the past like they have trouble with now on the new light bluish grays and yellows?
Thanks in advance for everyone's time.
Sincerely,
Ken

I print the order for pulling, so a buyer isn't getting anything extra (more
wasteful).
In Suggestions, cosmicray writes:
| | As this has been a controversial topic recently, perhaps we should make it a
buyer select-able option.
Allow the buyer to choose to receive paperwork with the order, or to have the
order shipped without paperwork. The seller would then be obliged to follow the
buyer's selection.
thank you, Nita Rae

| Not even close. Having an order with a record of the transaction would be easier
and more ideal.
Regardless, it doesn't really matter, as I fought for this feature at least
twice in the past and had little in the way of support. I doubt it will ever
be possible.
The forum is a tough crowd to win over. Add that to the 'new' administration
and you'll see why so many have lost faith that BL will ever reach its potential.

| I just noticed that these sets require a Target credit card to purchase.
From this point on I will make an extra effort to ensure that I purchase in a
manner that limits the direct benefit to TLC. All these exclusives seem to do
is create a rift in their loyal fan base. They end up solely in the 2nd hand
market at inflated prices.

rebrickable, and s@h as often as possible and still cannot seem to stay in the
Lego loop. Last year(?) I missed out on the classic set exclusives, some s@h
specials, and now these special sets.

(in my case) means they could be around the corner or 12 hours way in Thunder
Bay. Being able to search nearby stores would be a fantastic option. It would
be an option to opt into, whereby a store must enable the feature to show up
in nearby store searches. This would allow stores to disable the feature in
case they are uncomfortable with the feature.

The crocodile consists of 4 parts and doesn't come assembled (at least not
in set 60157 which I just parted out). So isn't the correct way to include
the four parts in the inventories and the complete assembly as a counterpart
for all sets in the above list?

| Based on many other catalog examples I would say that Mercy should have wings
in the assembly. I'm not sure if Pharah should just have the armor or
include the other pieces. I would like to find some comparable examples, though
all of this is up to an admin in the end.

| More bad news. I just checked Lego's website for instructions and it appears
that Genji (dual-sword holder?) and Hanzo (quiver) are missing these neckgear
in their pictures here.
Also, Genji appears to have a piece that connects to his helmet.
I don't have this set yet to confirm the contents. I'm going to run
to Walmart to see if they still have some.

| | The picture for this fig is wrong.

I'm confused. The figure doesn't have a picture.
Only kidding. I removed the images just now. How and why did these images get
approved?
Well, the catalog (me) is trying to be more responsive than it has in the past.
That means more and better communication with members, quicker item approvals,
and no more long queues of pending items. One of the casualties of pumping out
catalog entries is that some get in which are wrong.
I have to put some trust in members that items are submitted properly, especially
for new figures for which the assembly instructions are not always immediately
available. Sometimes that trust is repaid and sometimes it ain't. I have
a decent memory and submissions from the member who submitted these entries will
be checked carefully in the future.
It's a messier method in some ways, but I believe the benefits to members
outweigh making sure a catalog entry is absolutely perfect in every way before
approval. That's what change requests are for. This is not to say that
I don't check and occasionally reject things, of course. I'm just not
going to hold catalog entries forever, especially not desirable new items which
can easily be corrected. The inventory administrators, as Randy said, also sometimes
catch errors during the inventory process.
Having said all that, it was my fault that I approved these images/figures when
they were incorrect and I apologize for the error. I believe the instructions
were already available when I approved those figures with those images and I
neglected to download and check the set instructions regarding the correct assembly.
As you've noticed, the images are gone now.
| | This one is up to the admins. The 1st assembly shown in instructions is the
standard w/ legs. I think this version is a good addition to the catalog, but
it may not fit the catalog policies.
|
There's kinda only one CA for now, and it's me. If the figure does not
match the assembly first shown in the set instructions, then it's off to
deleteland for that figure, which is where this figure has travelled.
Thank you for bringing these issues to my attention.

Been a buyer for a few years now.

And while I'm gooding through a store for a particular part, I'll come
across and item listed in one of my Wanted lists.
If I'm at a large store their maybe a few.
It would be nice to have an option / filter to just list parts in your wanted
list(s).
You may decide to get more parts from that sttore than intended.

The picture for this fig is wrong. 1st her head sucks in comparison to what's
shown (but not really the point here).
2nd and most importantly, she needs at least the clear neck piece, if not the
full wing assembly
This fig has special shoulder armor that has some studs on the back for the other
pieces.

There are two versions of this part where the small hole by the base varies
in location, mirrored left or right side.
This can be seen in the new carousel where it seems Lego tried to include 24/24
(I got 23/25) of each type, so that the holes wouldn't be visible.

| I realize that since you've been appointed many things are being accomplished/changed.
However, part of me is uncomfortable that Maggie or Ronald aren't at the
head of these discussions/changes, as if they are being side-stepped in this

They have been performing these duties for a long-time and I think it would go
a long way to create credibility in these decisions, if they were the voice of
the catalog reorganization process.

| | So, you are saying it is difficult. We're talking about sellers here, people
who decide that they can handle selling Lego. Not every person who signs up on
Bricklink has to understand how to set up shipping methods. But I think it is
only fair that for the small portion of those members who really are serious
enough to get into selling, it should be expected of them that they're able
to handle it. If they're not, they should either ask for help or just use
some other way to sell Lego that they do understand (In fact, I think setting
things up at Brickowl is easier than at BL.)

| | And I think on the seller's side of the interface, it should also warn that
not all weight/volume/value/country combinations are covered. I think it's
the sellers responsibility to make sure that they have it all covered, it's
not rocket science. But it is true it takes some concentration and staring at
the screen to make sure everything is OK, so an algorythm that checks if there
are no holes sounds like exactly the type of thing we have computers for.
