| I think the "and Medium Blue Base" should be dropped from the description.
What do you all think?
I honestly missed this when parting out and just sold a black one, which is completely
black as is the one in the picture, don't think one was ever made with a
different color base than the cannon.
Should I post this somewhere else to request this?
* | | 94886c01 Duplo Cannon Shooting with Axle Hole, Red Firing Button and Matching Color Base
Parts: DUPLO |

| Hello, I’ve tried to add inventory for he following part: Hips and Medium Legs
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=167789#T=S&O={"iconly":0}
However, I had trouble doing so and could not provide images of the individual
medium legs myself. I wanted these separate legs inventoried so they can be added
to Studio 2.0 in the future. Thank you!

|
| Now that Lego has acquired Bricklink do you think the official Lego part numbers
will be more widely used/accepted on BL or will Lego in fact actively want to
encourage the use of their codes on the site as a primary means of identifying
parts in the BL catalog?
Either way when you search for an official Lego part number BL already recognises
it so is there any reason the official Lego part code is not displayed alongside
the part in question? Perhaps there’s already an option in the settings to display
them that I don’t know about?
Also is there any reason BL have continued using their own reference codes instead
of switching to Legos? If it’s just a case of not wanting to upset members that
have inventoried their physical stock and become accustomed to these BL codes
wouldn’t it be better to have both codes to hand so that buyers and sellers alike
have the option of choosing whichever codes they prefer to work with?

|
| Why does BrickLink show me a picture of a white 48 x 48 baseplate when I click
on the catalog entry for set 11010?
Ok, maybe the picture is there because it is an official product image from TLG.
So they are also using the wrong image in their own online shop.
According to TLG's description of the set, it contains only a 32 x 32 baseplate...

|
| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Change 7 Part {(Not Applicable) to Trans-Light Blue} 57555 Bionicle Squid, Rubber
Comments from Submitter:
The intended color does not vary, although there is color variation in the marbling of intensity or trans-clearness, but all sealed sets I have and I can open more if you want to see more proof. More appropriate is a note similar to zamor spheres

| Author: | hpoort | | Posted: | Jan 2, 2020 03:51 | | Subject: | Policy change - Undetermined versus Unknown a | | Viewed: | 221 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Open | | Vote: | [Yes|No] | |
|
| With the takeover by TLG, it may be time that some fundamental changes to the
site get implemented. Hence the posting of this idea - that has been bothering
me for years.
— requires programming and website extension —
Currently in the Bricklink catalog are parts that signify ‘undetermined variant’,
commonly marked for deletion or already deleted, and corresponding parts that
represent the specific variants of these. The current system requires sellers
to determine the specific variant type – even if they would prefer not to distinguish.
The same system requires buyers to exactly specify which variant they are interested
in buying – even if they don’t actually care which is commonly true. My suggestion
would be to distinguish the two concepts as are the processes: the process of
specifying what is for sale (which may be undetermined) and the process of specifying
what you want to buy (which may be ‘don’t care’). Both processes are already
separate on Bricklink (store inventory and wanted lists), but the concept of
‘undetermined’ is not.
For the catalog policy
• Keep all undetermined variants in the catalog and even add undetermined
variants for those parts that are similar. This information may be extracted
from the relation type ‘part is similar to’.
• Drop the deletion marks for all the undetermined entries and solely use
this marking for wrong or outdated entries.
For sellers
For sellers to don’t want to distinguish between part variants: list these parts
under the undetermined entry only. The BL system should be modified to show these
entries amidst the specific variants for any non specific search as through wanted
lists.
For buyers
For buyers it should be possible to specify an undetermined variety or in
effect a search pattern instead of a single part number. If a buyer does not
care whether a p=4085 is of type a, b, c or d, the buyer should be able to add
p=4085* to his wanted list and the search engine should have no trouble in matching
4085a, 4085b or 4085d with this. Similarly to the 0 color (labeled N/A or Not
Appicable while in this context it actually means Irrelevant).
Buyers should be assisted by the website to specify a specific variant if applicable,
but default to the don’t care form.
For the Bricklink website
• Add a feature to the ‘Add to Wanted List’ and ‘Edit Wanted List’ forms
to allow adding of (a) this specific variant only or (b) include variants. Then
populate the wanted list with the appropriate search pattern instead of the single
part number. This would take the form of either a complete enumeration of all
varieties like ‘4085|4085a|4085b|4085c|4085d’ (plate 1x1 with clip) or the more
general entry of ‘4085*’ or ‘4085@’; I would think the enumeration is more robust,
as it would also allow ‘3794|3794a|3794b|15573’ (jumper 1x2) and would also
allow manual exclusion of one or more variants.
• Adjust the ‘Items for sale’ pages or page fragments that show all matching
parts to include all variants when searching for the don’t care variety.
For the Bricklink database
• Widen the field WantedListItems.ItemNumber to allow for longer patterns.
100 chars would be enough for most enumerations of varieties I can think of.
For the Bricklink search engine
• For matching wanted lists with store items: presume that wanted list entries
may contain a search pattern instead of a single entry. Change the SQL from ‘=’
to ‘LIKE’ wherever necessary or drop the quotes around the field. (But make sure
no malicious code may be entered through this field).
Extra
• A similar feature might be implemented to search for approximate colors
such as ‘any gray’ or ‘any green’, similar to how Studio groups the colors.
Any thoughts of whether this would be helpful for you as a seller or for you
as a buyer?

|
| Hi,
Does anyone use an iPhone app that can detect the color of a piece? I’d love
to be able to point the camera to a piece on a white surface and the app would
tell me the color, or at least a guess on the color.
Thanks
