Thankfully, since there are so many headlight bricks with varying levels of partial

Now if we could just get rid of the ridiculous entries for "smooth slopes."

This is something we are going to look into. From what I have seen over the years,
there is no real "smooth slopes" for some of those parts (or any of them). What
they are are parts that come from molds where the sand-blasted texture has been
worn down over time making the slopes look more smooth than others that were
produced when the molds were new. One thing is for certain - none of them are
smooth like real smooth-molded slopes such as

such a piece. That's got me brainstorming...

Okayyyyy- now I see it! You may be right!

Sort of reminds me of this thing someone 3D printed:

Of course you wouldn't want to get THAT stuck in a 32474! (I occasionally
run into a similar 'homemade solution' when I find 1L axle stubs snapped
off of Bionicle detail parts in used LEGO batches. I had to drill a tiny center
hole and drive a fine screw into the bit to remove it on a couple occasions.)

I *had* seen it, probably at the same time as the new 2x4 brick with axle holes
and that technic connector block...

But I can't find it so I probably noticed the part when I was looking at
new items pending approval in our catalog...

All I can say is that I really would like a part like that! I can already
think of some situations I could have solved easily with that. Hopefully some
sleuth can sort this out for us. Please keep us updated.

Why do you think that smooth slopes is not an appropriate entry? I actually prefer
textured slopes and when I order textured slopes and get smooth slopes it does
not make me happy.

Can I ask what proof is required to submit the rectangular version of the 3062oldtile
?

I have both the one shown below and the rectangular version without stud that
I suppose would be something like 3005oldtile.

Not ready to list just yet but might want to do so sometime this year.

There are 87 of the "set", whereas there are 4294 listings for the part. So most
people have listed them as the single part. The sealed ones listed as sets are
likely to be correct, as are the used ones listed as sets as they do not need
to contain the packaging (although the listing should say that).

If you have plenty of a single part set (or single minifigure set), it is often
a good idea to list some as the part (or minifigure) and some as the set, as
different buys will search for different things.

Thanks, that is very helpful

  But the reason we can't do that with the hinge brick is because Lego does
not issue the part as an assembly. They never have and likely never will.

LEGO doesn't issue BrickArms either but BrickLink has BrickArms on the website.
They never have and likely never will.

And meanwhile, we now have 14 recently created entries for mixed color 3937/
3738 Hinges.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3937c15#T=C

That decision goes directly AGAINST the catalog policy, so I deem those entries
to be stupid and unnecessary.



I believe keeping the 3830c01 single color combos is the right thing to do.
I dislike when admins forget that this is a COMMERCE website first and foremost
and does not exist to maintain a "pure" catalog.

3830c01 has been bought and sold THOUSANDS of times over the past 18 years and
it is clearly the preferred form for both buying and selling.

The decision to get rid of the brick hinge and add plate hinge had NOTHING to
do with any kind of purist notion. Rather, it was a decision based solely on
commercial concerns.

When a large portion of sellers list things as an assembly instead of the individual
parts, the listings are effectively split, meaning that for the part in question,
BrickLink's listing strength is diminished. What starts out as a well-meaning
idea based on someone's personal listing preferences then works its way through
the system as an ineffeciency, leading to more complicated wanted list assembly
and maintenance and a lot of missed hits from things like Easy Buy and traffic
that comes to us via Brickset and the Lego replacements parts website.

For that reason, we do not want assemblies in the catalog that have no good rationale
for their existence. The plate assemblies are very useful for sellers of used
parts because they don't have to pull the assemblies apart to list them.
The plate hinges break frequently when they are older.

The brick hinge, to my knowledge, does not break when disassembled. Neither is
it part of a larger class of items that can as a whole be treated as an assembly
- such as wheels and tires.

And lest people forget, this brick hinge assembly was completely removed from
inventories many years ago by Dan himself in what I believe to be was the first
step in decommissioning the entry altogether.

Regarding the idea that we could use the assembly *instead* of the individual
parts as the entry of choice on the site - this is kind of thinking that produced
this entry:
 
Part No: 8c01  Name: Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Wheel Holder Bottom with Red Wheel with Black Tire 14mm D. x 4mm Smooth Small Single (8 / 3464c01)
* 
8c01 (Inv) Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Wheel Holder Bottom with Red Wheel with Black Tire 14mm D. x 4mm Smooth Small Single (8 / 3464c01)
Parts: Aircraft
It's just easier and simpler for everyone to use the assembly, and little
by little the assemblies are taking precedence over the individual parts in both
listings and sales.

But the reason we can't do that with the hinge brick is because Lego does
not issue the part as an assembly. They never have and likely never will. This
places a constraint on us, because we want to line up our catalog as much as
possible with the way bricks are treated by them. That way there is a smooth
pipeline through the supply chain. This is the same reason we started using multipacks:
 
Part No: 93081  Name: Friends Accessories, Flowers and Insects, 20 in Bag (Multipack)

93081 (Inv) Friends Accessories, Flowers and Insects, 20 in Bag (Multipack)

I sell used bricks, nearly all of these come to me as a complete hinge, in order
to sell them I must either sell them as a pair or manually separate them and
then list them separately.

Marked for Deletion

I still don't understand why they were marked for deletion. There only single
colors in the catalog, no crossed colors, no decorated items. Nothing but plain
single colors.

I will sell them on other well known sites.

Cob

While this piece is being discussed, I have always found the name odd. It only
looks like a 1x4 hinge brick when it is paired together. Therefore if it is not
paired, then the parts are not a 1x4 brick. They look like 1x2 bricks with a
bit of modification.

LEGO refers to the individual pieces as a "hinge 1x2 upper part" or "lower part".
Which makes more sense when you are searching for it.

I believe they have all those colored listings simple because of the difficulty
of taking those two pieces apart. I have broken several trying to do so. With
the 1x4 hinge brick, the pieces can come apart easily. I do not see the Cob's
problem at all. You make more money off of the two pieces if you sell them separately
than together. And it's only one listing more; not like it's a five piece
assembly you now have to disassemble. It's only two pieces.

I still don't understand why they were marked for deletion. There only single
colors in the catalog, no crossed colors, no decorated items. Nothing but plain
single colors.

I will sell them on other well known sites.

While this piece is being discussed, I have always found the name odd. It only
looks like a 1x4 hinge brick when it is paired together. Therefore if it is not
paired, then the parts are not a 1x4 brick. They look like 1x2 bricks with a
bit of modification.

LEGO refers to the individual pieces as a "hinge 1x2 upper part" or "lower part".
Which makes more sense when you are searching for it.

And in terms of setting a precedent:

Not saying it should be deleted, but that reason is valid. There are plenty
of sets where the two parts have different colours. Why would those combinations
not be available to buy?

I have compared the photos. To me they appear physically identical; I just wanted

I don't get the whole service pack thing. :/

One is the battery box and the other is the bag and its content (its content
is the same battery box) So if you open the bag and take off the battery box,
you will get the item

Bests,

Yeah, sorry I get what you mean. But to me that's not a service pack - that's
just an item within a packet. I'm used to product/software service packs,
that are more like upgrades to the original software, or additions to products
that improve the product and/or performance.


Thanks for the reply BTW.

As for now splitting old parts mold variants is on hold and as you can see this

Do you have black ones and brown ones? Can you check to see if this holds true

Nope. I have none. Dark Ages.

If the sets that use them are using them differently, — that is, if they aren’t
substitutable —, the variant would really be necessary. It wouldn’t be the first
time TLG thought better about making a part “in System,” like
 
Part No: 4081  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Light Attachment (Undetermined Type)
* 
4081 Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Light Attachment (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Plate, Modified
Marked for Deletion

or
 
Part No: 4623  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Arm Up (Undetermined Type)
* 
4623 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Arm Up (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Plate, Modified

I wanted to look at the building instructions to look for a mathematical necessity
for the change, but there are some 14 sets that use them, so knowing from which
sets they came from would have narrowed the search.


On the other hand, another possibility simply is that some are not LEGO

Do you know which sets they come from?

It would be interesting to check if something changed in their uses, mathematically
speaking.

You type very well with polybags in your hands.

I didn't realize this was coming. It means I'm gonna need a Flynn Rider
now too.

  Hi,
What are the differences between the Power function Hubs: 88009 and bb892c01?
Externally they look the same.

None. It is just the classification system used on BrickLink.

Thanks. That clears things up as to why there there are two entries for the same
item.

There is no difference in the actual parts. In its catalog, Bricklink has an
entry for both the Lego Element ID Number 88009 (stamped onto the part), and
another number, for Power Functions elements. You'll see that there are
more "For Sale" items in the Bricklink bb892c01 catalog entry https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=bb892c01#T=S&C=1&O={"color":1,"iconly":0}
than there are for the 88009 entry https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=88009-1#T=S&O={"iconly":0}
. Shop for the best price and availability.

Minifig No: sh498  Name: Iron Man - Mark 43 Armor, Trans-Clear Head
* 
sh498 (Inv) Iron Man - Mark 43 Armor, Trans-Clear Head
Minifigures: Super Heroes: Avengers Age of Ultron
came out last year, retroactively an Age of Ultron set. It is very similar to sh167. There is a slight deco change to the legs that reflects nothing on Mark 33. There is a larger change to the upper torso with a large gray panels with silver cables.

Looking at the suits side-by-side, (sh498) is definitely the Mark 43. Since the
"cables" are in the same places that plates are, on (sh167), they likely represent
the skeletal inner layer of the suit, visible before the outer pieces are added.
It is an odd design choice, however, as the Mark 43 is never shown in
such a state.

My 10 cents is dont. But if you insist, I am about 900 figs into the approx 1090
figs and variants, it has been about 6 or 7 years worth of work and I estimate
5 to 6000 US Dollars so far. I suggest that you break it down into small batches,
and start a want list and go from there.

You will find that being SW attracts a premium, even common figs get expensive,
there are more than a few figs that will cost you $100 plus each up to $400 or
500 for a cloud city Boba fett. Add in some of the Rare older ones and you have
to search the BL catalogue regularly to find the bargains. I guesstimate that
the average per fig is $10 to 15 each - as new.

Good luck and many grey hairs to you on your quest mate.

Regards

Cameron
