I prefer it this way. It's a rare occurrence and changing it would save only
a few entries while making the entire sticker sheet database inconsistent.
I see how it can be a problem when you're looking to buy one, but I wonder
how often this really happens?

So are you saying it is preferable for the database but not for buying and selling.
This seems like the better solution?

Would you have 6 entries on your own webshop?

Well, buyers seem OK with puzzling around with minifigs buying them either whole
or in parts. That's also a situation where people are searching for two things
in parallel that come down to the same thing and it's much more common.
It would mess up my syncing software, for one thing. And I think generally item
names being adaptable depending on what is released next is not a good situation.
So yeah, if I can choose, I'd have multiple entries, but that's just
my opinion.

Hey all,
Has anyone else ran into this? I have a sw0620 Tusken Raider mini but without
the markings on his shirt. He is super mint looking and doesn't look like
they have been removed. I will try to take a pic of him to show. So, has anyone
else ran into this one?? Thanks for any info.

  Ok I found the "sticker over assembly" group but my question is what is the process
to submit it, when I go to add or change then it asks for the part number and
it doesn't have one because its two parts together with a sticker so how
do I submit it for an add to the set?

This is how I added a stickered assembly a few weeks ago:

First check if there already is an assembly like yours in the catalog by searching
for "assembly slopes".

Results: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=assembly%20slopes

As you can see, there is no assembly consisting of two curved slopes 4x1. So
your assembly is a new one. Now check the first free number for assembled parts
with stickers. Open the "Sticker Over Assembly" category and sort by item number:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&catString=582&itemBrand=1000&catType=P&v=1

The highest number is BA91pb01, so your part number would be BA92pb01.

To be sure this number is not used for a recent entry, check items pending approval:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?itemPend=Y

No results for "BA92pb01", so you can use this number.

For part name, I would suggest "Stickered Assembly 2 x 4 x 1 with Circled Number
9 Pattern (Sticker) - Set 8159 - 2 Slopes Curved 4 x 1 No Studs"
(I have used the name of similar part BA43pb02 as a template).

If exactly the same assembly (two curved slopes 4x1 in our example) is added
with another sticker later, that assembly will get number BA92pb02 etc. That
means "BAxx" stands for the speficic assembly and "pbxx" stands (as always) for
the sticker or imprint.


By the way, the stickered assemblies have to be renumbered in the near future
to get an extra 0.

Regards,
Jonas

Nice, but now the links to the parts don’t work.......

So, maybe not that usefull?

1) For parts, the color of the image may now be specified by adding a comma and
the BrickLink part number after the Item Number:

 
Part No: 4085d  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085d Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified {Blue}
 
Part No: 4085d  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085d Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified {Medium Blue}
 
Part No: 4085d  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085d Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified {Dark Bluish Gray}
 
Part No: 4085d  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085d Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified {Light Bluish Gray}

2) For sets, instructions and original boxes, the suffix is only needed when
it is not "-1":

 
Set No: 493  Name: Space Command Center (Flatplate version)
* 
493-1 (Inv) Space Command Center (Flatplate version)
161 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1979
Sets: Space: Classic Space
 
Set No: 493  Name: Space Command Center (Craterplate version)
* 
493-3 (Inv) Space Command Center (Craterplate version)
145 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1979
Sets: Space: Classic Space

  I have a hard time understanding the sentence, in fact, we should read "a comma
and the BL color number" and not "BL part number".

Still, a direct link to color codes would be welcome, I doubt anyone knows them
all perfectly.
