  Four pieces that I would like to see added are:

Black Large Figure Torso Skeletal with Gear Hips / Waist / Bottom

Pearl Dark Gray Large Figure Torso Skeletal Connector with 2 Ball Joints

Flat Silver Bionicle Armor Uniter with 2 Pin Holes on Front, Axle and Pin Holes
on Sides

Pearl Gold Bionicle Armor Uniter with 2 Pin Holes on Front, Axle and Pin Holes
on Sides

These four would be very good for 2016 uniter mocs, as it is currently difficult
to make them

But it means sellers must use common sense when pricing them.

I still don’t understand why it’s “common sense” when it’s anything but common
(the same in French)

  We have tweaked the Forum / Message macro tags in the following ways:

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}

Yeah!


  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

Yeah 2!

3183 Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with Tow Ball Socket (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Plate, Modified

I have this in a set and I want to determine it, but I'm a little lost.
It has the 4 slots, but I can't tell from the limited pics the long and short
socket. Can someone help?

The four I have are the same length but as one has two slots and the others 4,
I guess they are all “long.”
The length is a bit more than a stud: you can’t put a brick in front of the socket
and aligned on studs. (You can put a plate because the slots are high enough
for the tiny “bit more.”)

Oh, if you have

those are shorter, by around 1mm.

I concur with the brownish looking older greys.

The light greys look yellow compared to lbg.

Yes. The “Bluish” aren’t bluish, they are really grey. They only appear bluer
than the old greys because those were actually yellowish. But they already had
a name and people were used to their names and tints, so the newer ones were
named “Bluish.”

  How do you tell the difference between Dark Grey and Dark Bluish Grey bricks?
I want to make sure I purchase ones that match what I already have.

Depends, what do you have?

If it’s post-2005, it’s DBG.
If it’s pre-2004, it’s DG.
In between, well, the Big Colour Shift happened in 2004 but LEGO used their stocks
for a while

You can also check the inventories of your sets. If both greys were used for
a set, it’s generally noted in the inventory (Alternates section).

Also some parts exist only, or are much more frequent, in one dark grey.

49699 Panel 1 x 6 x 4 1/3 with Window and 4 Pin Holes

I can't discover anything panel-ish about this part. I'd say it's
window, door, technic, other, vehicle, or pretty much anything except a panel...
What do you think it should be?

Since

30528 Arch 1 x 8 x 6 (Portal)
Parts: Arch
is an arch, 49699 should perhaps just be a slope

I don’t quite follow the logic here
Half an arch might be a slope but, surely, an arch + an inverted arch is not
a slope, it’s a cylinder!


  At least it has something in common with
 
Part No: 30180  Name: Slope 45 10 x 2 x 2 Double
* 
30180 Slope 45 10 x 2 x 2 Double
Parts: Slope

Okay but then it should be a Slope AND a Slope Inverted. And both Double. So
does that make it Quadruple or Double-Double?


We really need a catmin who is used to deep and rigorous classifications.
I don’t know, maybe an entomologist or something like that?

What do you think it should be?

My first thought is technic or window frame

Well:

1. Window (or door) frame implies you could put a glass or panel (or door)
inside. That seems very unlikely with the technic holes in the way.

2. It’s been used in System (City) sets for now BUT it sure looks like a Technic
Brick, yet not really.
So Technic could do but not really “Technic Brick” and there are no similar parts
(that I know of) in the other Technic categories, that would mean it should fall
in the general “Technic” category, which is already overpopulated.

I’m not envying the catmins
