Re: Inventory Change Request for Set 6274-1 - 62Bricks (1455)

[...] Another chance to flog this horse. Some of these plumes are quite expensive: (URL) The misguided policy that says all parts on sprues are now regular items means that [...]

Re: Ability to identify parts for a specific set - 62Bricks (1455)

[...] We used to have the ability to do this with a shop's listings, too. You could see what parts from a set were for sale at any shop. That feature broke when the site [...]

Re: Remove image - 62Bricks (1455)

[...] Ryan's sheet also points out that there is a "rust" that is "Really 21 Bright Red in softer plastics." That is the case with the boat mast in question here. I don't [...]

Re: Remove image - 62Bricks (1455)

[...] "Rust" is just red in certain non-ABS parts. If it is considered a legitimate color, then we should also have the "medium old gray" of certain old 1x1 clips and airtanks [...]

Re: Items scheduled to be removed from catalog - 62Bricks (1455)

[...] There is often a note on the item's catalog page that explains why it is being deleted. Sometimes it is because a part's entry has been split into new entries [...]

Here's the list with the color codes added so you can see which ones need images (it's most of them at this posting). In Catalog, StormChaser writes: [...]

Re: Part Variants - 62Bricks (1455)

[...] For variants that share a part number and are distinguished by a suffix, it would be possible to add a "pseudo" entry on the parts browsing page that would lead to search [...]

Re: minifig cty0006 inconsistency error. - 62Bricks (1455)

[...] I don't find a version of this head with black lenses in the sunglasses, and it looks like the lenses are dark blue in the minifig photo, so I'm guessing it's [...]

Re: Define This Item - 62Bricks (1455)

[...] I believe they are pictured as they are shown assembled in the instructions. So if Lego is inconsistent, that will be reflected in the BL catalog.

Re: Inventory Change Request for Set 1881-1 - 62Bricks (1455)

[...] Every minifig (that is, every minifig of the classic form) already has assemblies in its inventory and they interact fine with the part out and want list functions. [...]

Re: Inventory Change Request for Set 1881-1 - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: Inventory Change Request for Set 1881-1 - 62Bricks (1455)

[...] Minifig inventories support assembled part entries. Every hips/legs combo and torso/arms torso, for example. It's not a functionality issue.

Re: Inventory Change Request for Set 1881-1 - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: 4085a light gray 2 types? - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: Inventory Change Request for Set 1881-1 - 62Bricks (1455)

[...] Putting sprue parts in the counterparts would attach them to that set inventory. They would not be orphaned. So that is not a valid reason. And if the pip location is [...]

Re: BRICKS & PIECES availability and price - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: Inventory Change Request for Set 1881-1 - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: Inventory Change Request for Set 1881-1 - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: Item Consists Of 122 Parts - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: Inventory Change Request for Minifig sw1030 - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: Add An Area for Catalog Scans - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: Lego Samsonite 704-3 (1962) Canister - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: Benny's torso 973pb1652c02 - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: Benny's torso 973pb1652c02 - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: 10205 : Parts to be removed from Inventory - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: 10205 : Parts to be removed from Inventory - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: 10205 : Parts to be removed from Inventory - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: 10205 : Parts to be removed from Inventory - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: 10205 : Parts to be removed from Inventory - 62Bricks (1455)

Re: 10205 : Parts to be removed from Inventory - 62Bricks (1455)
