Interesting. Why can printed versions of parts even have different categories
than their parent part? Is there even a case where that is needed? I can think
of one case: 2 x 2 x 2 Slopes with dress prints could go under Minifig,Bodypart
(or better: change the "legs assembly" category in "lower body" and move all
short legs, mermaid tails and ghost lower bodies there too). But even in this
case, those parts are simply "slope".
So if printed parts never even have a different category than their parent part,
why is it apparently needed that these parts are assigned a category manually?
It's just extra work and extra risk of error. In my own webshop's catalog,
the data of the non printed parent part is used as much as possible. That saved
me a whole lot of work.

The BL database does not 'know' about parent parts. This is something
that we as users understand by trimming the part number, but in the underlying
database, there is no such relation between P=3626cpb2423 and P=3626c. For the
database engine, these are just two unrelated records that happen to be near
each other in alphabetical order. Therefore, the category field is to be filled
separately with every item.
There is a relation in the database that relates P=3626c to P=3626a and P=3626b,
but that is not the relation you seek right now.
With the current database, this functionality of automatically linking categories
to the category of the parent part, is (a little) harder to build. However, it
would have unintended consequences: A quick selection in Excel learns that of
the 40K decorated part, 11K have the same category as their 'parent'
part, 24K have not, and 5K have no parent part defined in the database. This
is mostly because there is a separate category for decorated, but there are more
examples.

There are lots of reasons why something isn’t automatized. The main ones are:
1. You have to realize it’s stupid work.
2. “You can automatize that?!” The users don’t even know they can ask for it
to be done.
3. And, of course, “there’s something else more urgent to do.”
You thought about it because you’re lazy (in a good way ) and you needed to
do the job yourself.
|
You're probably right, a lot if this may have to do with the fact that catalog
work is unpaid work for Bricklink. Why waste time on making something that's
free less work?

This is why goatleg exists - the flatness of the Bricklink catalog makes it difficult
to find decorated parts because they are all thrown into one jumbled category
at the same level as undecorated parts. If the Bricklink catalog were arranged
with true categories and subcategories that move from the general to the specific,
then decorated parts would be subcategories of their undecorated versions and
would be much easier to find.

Hi
As you know there are 2 versions.
It would be fine if the first release parts are in the inventory, other parts
in the alternate section.
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/4502939.pdf
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/4586971.pdf
There are a lot of differences between the 1ste and 2nd release. Maybe put all
parts used for the 2nd but not for the 1st in the MID '99'. (as there
are already parts in for the MID 99 in this set)

Comments from Submitter:
The information comes from the opening of a "mint-in-box" unopened set (Samsonite). I opened the set to verify the pieces. I also have info on what "lego logo's" are on the studs, to ensure era-specific correctness if interested.
|
It's great to get info from unopened sets and that people take their time
to correct old inventory lists. Still, there is a problem. This new inventory
means that the old inventory was crap. I don't think it was. Is it dead certain
that the sets released in for example Europe contained exactly the same parts
as the Samsonite versions? I think that the parts 3009 and 3023 should have remained
as alternate parts. Also, what about the sellers of set 329 having painstakingly
collected the parts in order to sell this set? Now, they need to start the process
all over again. The BL method of inventory list making should allow some variations
which are highly probable.

| Hi All,
Maybe a stupid question, but why is the order details on the site the weight
of all items (so Lot weight x items ordered) and if you download it, the weight
of 1 unique lot.
Second, is it possible to have the total estimated weight per order on the Download,
like it's shown online in the order?
This because I like to see/calculate the average price/kg and the average price/piece
for my orders.

If I remember correctly, around 1985.

You remember correctly but the roof 4509 coming with sets 7755 and 7727 in 1983
had part number since its earliest production.
Some old baseplates from 60s or 70s had also part number.

The one or two digit numbers indicate molds and mold cavities in the actual machine
that creates the parts from liquid plastic injection. As far as what year TLC
started putting part numbers on the parts themselves, I'm afraid I do not
know.
David

Part number such as 3001 for a 2x4 brick ? Certainly the older CA parts had that,
so it must have been in the earliest days.
Nita Rae
|
The CA parts did have mold numbers (5 04) but not the part number (3176)

Thank you all for your replies. I am now going to pose another question - What
are 'CA' parts? Sorry to be so thick.
Linda

Cellulose Acetate plastic, which LEGO phased out in 1963.

Thank you very much. Everyday I learn something new from the forum.

What do these numbers refer to?
Apologies if this has been asked before - I cannot find a thread.
Thanking you all

The one or two digit numbers indicate molds and mold cavities in the actual machine
that creates the parts from liquid plastic injection. As far as what year TLC
started putting part numbers on the parts themselves, I'm afraid I do not
know.

Part number such as 3001 for a 2x4 brick ? Certainly the older CA parts had that,
so it must have been in the earliest days.
Nita Rae
|
The CA parts did have mold numbers (5 04) but not the part number (3176)

Thank you all for your replies. I am now going to pose another question - What
are 'CA' parts? Sorry to be so thick.

Cellulose Acetate plastic, which LEGO phased out in 1963.

Comments from Submitter:
My set actually contains the old style (B) treasure chest with no back slots and thin hinge. Confirmed by actual inventory and product photos on box/instructions. (Are there alternate versions?)

Hi,
I am very sure that this set came with the "a" variant for two reasons:
1. Set 6273 was produced between 1991 and 1993. Set 6260 was produced between
1989 and 1991 and that set already had the "a" variant (link below).
2. A few years ago, the user 1977_mauro changed the inventory of 6273 and many
other old sets based on sealed set contents (he added extra parts or string lenghts,
for example). As we can see, he has not changed the treasure chest in the inventory
of set 6273 but he has changed it in other inventories. I am sure he would have
also changed it here if he had found the "b" type in his copy.
All in all, the "a" type should stay here but the "b" type can be added as an
alternate if you confirm that you have found it in a sealed set.
Regards,
Jonas

Hello,
thank you very much for your reply. This is very interesting!
I own the entire collection for Pirates I up until 1991 and I got them right
when they came out (all new from sealed boxes). All treasure chests are there
and none of them is the A-type, all are the old B-Type (including set 6260 from
1989).
The picture on the box also shows the B-type (see attachment).
So I guess there really must be alternates for all of these sets.
Kind regards

Put the set number into the list inventory button and see if there are two different

I realized the lighting in my house in terrible, I tried for many pictures and
think this is it. The set is 3854 The Krusty Krab, and it says there is a 1x3
blue brick and the blue 1x2 jumper. Both are this weird blue and its 100% this

Yeah that's the set, I don't know where I got that other number from.
Trying to do to many things at once.

I had an issue with this set recently. Many of the bricks were brittle, thought
it was brown instead.
Brittle blue is usually from much older sets, but I think something weird happened
with that set.

| Yes this is "brittle blue" for sure.
It fits the color, its fits the time period

There is two identical boxes with parts inside (look that funny rabbit)
Should I add these boxes as alternate picture of original box 523-1 or add as
a gear inside inventory of set 523-1 ?

PS: maybe that box exist in catalog, but I do not find them.
