Having recently bought the Newbury High School and built it I am surprised to
find the dog Spencer is listed on here as Trans Clear with marbled White, when
the parts list in the inventory clearly places it in White. Should this not
be White with Marbled Trans Clear?


Similarly hs001 has a pending approval inventory in which the submitter is unsure
if the White hoodie with a Red cap should be classified as Red or White. Again
the inventory supplied with the set has this as White.

When compiling inventories should we not give greater weight to the Lego parts
list as to what colour a part is?

And yes the minifigure Jack is identical to the one in 70418-1 J.B's Ghost
Lab - hs001.

Just to add to the never-ending "identify this part" questions, it's now
been semi-officially confirmed that LEGO has created exclusive elements for the
BaM (Build a Minifgure) bins in LBR stores. I'm sure this will give more
people headaches for authenticating parts, since they will not appear in any
inventories. Looks interesting though, and I hope they keep introducing new
elements.

Hi,

Looks like this parts:
 
Part No: 4460a  Name: Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
* 
4460a Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
Parts: Slope
 
Part No: 4460b  Name: Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
* 
4460b Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
Parts: Slope

is taller than described as it is 4 studs high instead of 3 unless there is a
way to measure height I don't know.

Fortunately, there is no 3 studs high slope and I believe any MOCers using the
part just call it by its name and there would be no issue when building.

Strangely, part
 
Part No: 3684c  Name: Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
* 
3684c Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
Parts: Slope
and all its variants looks like to be also 4 studs
high and not 3 (last pic clearly shows the same aspect ratio as 4460).
By the way 3684 is not marked for deletion yet.

Where was the issue ? "It's not you it's us" or just me ?

Thanks.

Hi All,

I'm building a database in MS Access where I want to compare my sets with
a different set to see if I can build the different set with the parts I have.

What I like to know is, is there a downloadable table with related items, so
if I don't have the original inventory item the DB will search the alternative
items to see if there is a match and give me the quantity of the alternate item?

Or is there an other way to relate the alternate item to the original inventory
item?

Thanx

So you used to be able to click on the picture of a piece in the catalog, sort
of a quick view. You'd see the years it was made, any sets/minifigures the
piece was in, etc. You all know what I'm talking about. Well, a few days
ago I couldn't do it anymore. I've tried three different devices.

Why would they make such a horrible change for? I rely on that heavily when listing
minifigure parts to make sure I have the correct listing. This is going to make
this job twice as long now.

Good evening,
I just bought a LEGO minifig with the part torso 973pb0679c01. This torso is
not associated here to none complete minifig, with just the information that
is from 1980. The minifig head in my hands have a small ring, possibly indicating
the minifig was part of a keychan. Could anyone provide me more information about
this curious item?
Best regards,
Cruz

Part No: 973pb3600c01  Name: Torso T-Shirt with Red Trim and 'CHAMPS' Logo Pattern (BAM) / Red Arms / Yellow Hand Right / Reddish Brown Baseball Glove Left
* 
973pb3600c01 (Inv) Torso T-Shirt with Red Trim and 'CHAMPS' Logo Pattern (BAM) / Red Arms / Yellow Hand Right / Reddish Brown Baseball Glove Left
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

Has anyone actually seen this part in a BAM box with the mitt attached? I have
seen multiple of them in three different stores now, and they do not have the
mitt. They have a single hand and a missing hand. You can add either a mitt or
a hand, staff don't care.

So should this be listed with a mitt, given that this is not how it is supplied?
Or at least have a note about this, as not all the torsos will have mitts.

The instructions show the reel in the winch to be black; the inventory here has

Does anyone know for certain which colour the set actually shipped with?

When I got set
 
Set No: 928  Name: Galaxy Explorer
* 
928-1 (Inv) Galaxy Explorer
318 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1979
Sets: Space: Classic Space
as a child, I remember clearly it had one plate of wrong
size in it (different from the one shown in the instructions), and from my recollection
it was the plate that held the control patterned slopes (it should be a 4 x 10
plate). The plate in my set was either 2 studs too long or too short, but I don't
remember which. Unfortunately, I switched the plate to a correct one long time
ago, so I can't prove anything about this today.

Does anyone else remember something like this?

Hello,

In my sealed version of set
 
Set No: 156  Name: 2 Signals with Automatic Stop / Go Attachment
* 
156-1 (Inv) 2 Signals with Automatic Stop / Go Attachment
6 Parts, 1968
Sets: Train: Supplemental: 4.5V
the connectors are 'Cross-cut'
 
Part No: 996bc01  Name: Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
* 
996bc01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

and not 'Hollow Pin'
 
Part No: 996ac01  Name: Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (Banana Plug)
* 
996ac01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

The current wire in inventory is this one:
 
Part No: 996ac15blue  Name: Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with 2 Leads, 14 Studs Long with 4 Blue Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (x466c14 / 996ac01)
* 
996ac15blue (Inv) Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with 2 Leads, 14 Studs Long with 4 Blue Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (x466c14 / 996ac01)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

I know wire are on hold for now (project #15)

A) shall I create a new cross-cut connectors wire for 15 studs and modify inventory
(as alternate)?

B) I create inventory request with:
 
Part No: 996bc01  Name: Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
* 
996bc01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector
and
 
Part No: x466  Name: Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with two Leads, unspecified length
* 
x466 Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with two Leads, unspecified length
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

I prefer option (A).
As every wire length for same type of connectors are going to grow or reduce
the same size depending of project #15.
For example: if wire 996ac15blue need to be adjusted +1 studs, new wire on option
(A) will also grow +1 studs

As you can see on the picture, the men is not the same on both sign
Should I create a new part, or request to add an additional note ?

It will be difficult to know which part goes on which set.

These two bricks are jujst hold together by a sticker. I thought this was against

Morning, Catalog guys I have a query for you. In regards to items attached on
the back there is no guideline in the help page (see full description below).
Could this please be defined and added. Even if there are minifigures that require
editing (I will help if needed). I just wish to prevent less work in the future
by having a clear guideline on what's included and what's not. The one
that peaked my interest is the Mr. Freeze in set 76118 (sh587).

Thanks in advance.

Tyson.

"Minifigs - The catalog should only contain minifigs that came in an official
LEGO set or that can be attributed to an official LEGO program, display, activity
or event, regardless of whether the minifig is actually publicly distributed
during or at such program, display, activity or event.
The minifig item should not include hand-held accessories or items defined as
utensils, with the exception of robot winder keys. But do include all other accessories
definable as footgear (flippers, snow shoes, etc.), neckgear (generally defined
as items requiring the removal of the head in order to be placed over the neck,
such as capes, armor, backpacks, etc.) and headgear (hair, helmets, etc.), and
assembled parts serving as such, when these are shown attached to the minifig
in official LEGO set instructions. For instructions with images showing the minifig
in a play scenario, refer only to the portion of the instructions concerned with
assembling the minifig. If no official instructions were produced, then illustrations
on packaging or other marketing materials directly related to the minifig may
be used instead for this guide purpose. (See Exceptions below.)

Minifigs decorated by a sticker may have an entry for the figure without the
sticker applied, and an entry for the figure with the sticker applied. (See Exceptions
below.)

If 2 or more minifigs that came in an official LEGO set are the same except for
different hand-held accessories, do not add another entry for a minifig with
a particular accessory. An example of this would be "Majisto the Wizard with
glow-in-the-dark wand" which should not be added in addition to an otherwise
identical "Majisto the Wizard" entry.

Exceptions:

When the use of set instructions or other official LEGO images provide poor clues
about the precise nature of accessories: For example, numbers printed on neckgear
armor worn by each figure of a series, yet nowhere is it clearly shown which
figure bears which numbered armor. In this case the figures can be added without
neckgear armor. Arbitrarily associating a particular numbered armor with the
other elements of a minifig should not be done.
When the hand held accessory is an integral physical part of the minifig: For
example, the electric light-up figs released beginning in 2005. All the parts
that make up the complete light-up device, including those not integral to its
electric function, should be included as a part of the minifig.
When there is more than one possibility presented within a set for decoration
of the minifig by sticker, a catalog entry should not be created for each variation.
This rule also applies to the Torso and Torso Assembly parts of such minifigs.
For example, some Soccer theme sets have a sticker sheet that allows the builder
to choose from various team insignias and jersey numbers for each player in the
set. If every variation were given an entry, the catalog would be overwhelmed.
The early “stiff” minifigs (1975-1977) were often built into the model and not
shown in a freestanding position. In these cases, a minifig can be considered
a unit without being prescribed as such in the instructions or box images as
long as the four basic parts are present – legs, torso, head and hat/hair."

Hi,
I could not find anything on the topic :/
Could anyone explain please why are leaflets (instructions) for each minifigure
of the series kept separately in the catalog when they seems to be all the same?

It seems especially weird, when I saw that someone bought leaflet for percival
graves for such high price:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?I=colhp-22#T=P
while it seems that this leaflet is just pretty the same as all the rest of the
leaflets from this series....

Thx in advance,
J.

The cape from this Robin matches the cut of the brand new Robin, but if I had

Can anyone check?

I have opened seven of the CMF versions and they do not come like this in the
set. The torso comes without the robot arm attached. Is there are reason having
only the assembly in the inventory, and not having it how it actually comes in
the CMF set?

Not sure if sequence number for multiple stickered assembly parts from same set
should increment the 'pb01' to 'pb02' rather than from BA76pb01
to BA77pb01. The part I'm questioning is [p=BA77pb01] and if it should actually
become [p=BA76pb02]
