Set 8769 Visorak's Gate

I have piece 6082 and 6083 both with stickers applied. However to list them
in my store there is no number assigned to these pieces with stickers.

How do I go about asking for these two items to be added to your catalog?

Regards,
Josie
Carefree Building Blocks

The procedure to add a stickered Counterpart to BrickLink and a set inventory
is as follows:

(1) Add the stickered part to the BrickLink catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/wantedCatalog.asp?catType=P

Help on adding an item to the BrickLink catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=71

(2) Add an image to the BrickLink catalog for the stickered part:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=P

Help on adding an image to the BrickLink catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=87

(3) Fill out an Inventory Change Request to add the stickered part to the inventory
after it is approved by the Catalog Associate:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=41068-1

Thanks each!

I didn't realize they HAD been added, as I kept searching for the numbers
I had given them as I made the addition form. I didn't know that the "approver"
would change them. That's good though!

They were needed a correction as they weren't properly numbered

I made 2 additions to the catalog the other day (2 tiles, from https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1141099).
How long is typical for them to be approved and added? And, can I perhaps expect
a message or some other notification that "your item has been added", or similar?

Thanks,

It depends if pending item is problematic or not.

And, can I perhaps expect
a message or some other notification that "your item has been added", or similar?

No messages are sended when item is approved. Correspondence with submitter is
only with problematic items (somtimes, firstly a note is added to pending item
in such cases - in item name like in this one for example [p=15068pb169x]) or
when they are rejected.

That is why submitters should check they "My activity page"
https://www.bricklink.com/myActivity.asp
or this page, section "My Additions Pending Approval:"
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogAdd.asp

Pending items can bee seen also here
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPend.asp

You should check also this page where new additions to the catalog are showed
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?

Check this help page also
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2482
There are also answers to questions about pending items.

The year on the part is the copyright year. The year in the Bricklink catalog
is when it was first included in a set. This is often a year later because of
the time it takes to design and then produce parts.

Hi Guys.

We have a Count Dooku Clonewars figure

Minifig No: sw0224 Name: Count Dooku - Large Eyes

sw0224 (Inv) Count Dooku - Large Eyes
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars The Clone Wars

on a magnet from

852555 (Inv) Magnet Set, Minifigures SW (3) - Yoda, Count Dooku, Mace Windu - with 2 x 4 Brick Bases blister pack
Gear: Magnet: Star Wars

It's only missing the lightsaber.

However different to the listing the minifig is permanently glued to the base
+ Torso to the Legs. Basically only Head arms and cape are removable.

Is there
a plan to include these glued Magnetfigs in the catalog?

Or is only the complete
set considered sellable.
Also there maybe should be added a notice to those sets in regards of being glued
or with lose minifigs.

I was wondering if anyone has attempted/managed to separate the joined sub-components
that make up this assembly. As far as I can tell on mine, doing this would cause
damage. I'm curious to know what the 'rivet-like' pins on the bottom
look like separated and whether they could serve another useful purpose on their
own. I would hazard a guess that it is stud diameter for a length of one plate-thickness
with a bar-size (or similar) hole in the center on the inside.

I presume there is no LEGO-published part number for the pin alone.

Thankfully, since there are so many headlight bricks with varying levels of partial
holes. It was definitely a manufacturing defect.

You think the horizontal slot is a defect?

I believe, until Lego says otherwise, the slot is meant to be like this.

Out of all my 4070 at least 80% have a slot, no matter what year or color, no
matter what set it came from.
Too much for a defect.

It is a slot that is always the same form, sharply formed, very straight and
small.

I think it could be made for pressure relieve.

Yes, if you look from the inside, the hole is always moulded there. Sometimes
there is a thin skin over it. I think all my newer parts have the slot, with
older ones being hit and miss.

I believe the note on the part 'This part is occasionally found with a small
horizontal slot in the front near the base. This is believed to be an unintentional
feature.' is incorrect. Should be the other way round 'occasionally
found WITHOUT a small...'

Exactly my idea!
Maybe we should ask for a catalog change.

I've changed the catalog note for both entries. See if that sounds better
to you.

Many years ago I managed to speak directly with a Lego engineer. I reported it
to Admin and for some time the description of the conversation was shown in the
Additional Notes for the part.
The slot is NOT intentional but is more a problem with the design of the part.
Whether a slot forms or not is down, mainly, to the age of the mold.
A redesign is not possible and it is considered to be such a minor flaw that
keeping things as they are is better than scrapping the part altogether.

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

11477 Slope, Curved 2 x 1 x 2/3
Parts: Slope, Curved

Cheers,
Randy

Don't forget about

3678a Slope 65 2 x 2 x 2 without Bottom Tube
Parts: Slope

versus

3678b Slope 65 2 x 2 x 2 with Bottom Tube
Parts: Slope

with complete, intended smoothness
in the a-version.

Like others, I can see countless problems to solve with this but like others
before me, steer clear of Bionicles...looks suspiciously like Bionicle instead
of our endeared Technic

Speaking of Bionicle, you could have one of those common Technic ball-joint
balls (32474 or 53585) with just a stud sticking out the side when combined with
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:

https://www.myminifactory.com/de/object/3d-print-1l-lego-technic-liftarm-81004

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.)
