|
| Inconsistency is a pet peeve of my, so you know it's my last nerve on this
issue.
I haven't parted out much lately, but I got an opportunity to part out 3
of the 2019 Star Wars Advent Calendars
For the last 9 years TLC has included a Winter-ized SW figure in the 24th position
on the calendar. I saw that this last year was a Porg Santa. I didn't look
at the BL inventory to see how the subsets were being handled before I started.
I wanted to preserve the Porg Santa as a complete fig and part out all the other
"parts only" droids.
After finishing the sorting, I went to upload the part-out to BL. And that's
when I found it....Porg Santa was a part out...grrr. But the Gonk and Mouse
droids were left to sell whole...grrrr.
Who decides this stuff? How hard is it to be more consistent? I know there
is a lot of discussion about "What SW Droids are figures" and what are not.
But geesse, SMH.
Just my two cents.
Thanks for reading, no changes are expected.

Ive been looking for through the catalogue for various parts and have found that

I was looking at 3700 technic 1x2 brick in dark green last week and the stores
showed up with zero in stock in the catalogue. I checked again today and all
resolved.
I then looked at orange part 6005 and same thing.
Whats going on ??
Seems off to me or is it related to these rarer parts ?

The item doesn't show up in the items for sale.
I guess the Price Guide isn't shown in Real Time.
Maybe the items are in void of the payment process.

The items do show up in the items for sale
New (0) AFOL Supply (47562)

Min Buy: None EUR 7.21

New (0) Kentuckiana Bricks (27276)

These to sellers have a lot of zero quantity items.
It came up before in the forum (https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=260269)

It may have to do with the software they use to upload and sync their inventory.
This shouldn't be possible, however. Zero QTY lots should only be retained
in a stockroom.
|
And since it's one and the same company, they have the same software, which
probably sync both inventories at the same time.

Some statistics of average price, total sold, total available et cetera are calculated
during the daily maintenance and hence may differ slightly from the actual items
for sale. This especially shows for rare items that have just been sold or added
to inventories.

Ive just checked the same part again today and same issue. So its not the updating
of daily maintenance.
Admin - another bug ?

If you were tasked with identifying a reason for this, keeping in mind the source

Sorry I have no idea how BL works behind the scenes so I cant answer that but
I hope that the work with the TLG will speed up those things

The way it works is that you or me needs to build an inventory and submit
it. So far this year I have done and the
whole DC CMF series. Next up will be and
all on their way to me in the mail.

Sorry but BL has always been VERY slow when it comes to do inventorys (or rather
the Pending Approval).
Recent example: 40395 - 23 lots aka 67 parts. A set is out since 8 days and even
up on Legos site should be up including part list on BL by now imho.
I dont know how the policy is about naming other websites (especially now that
TLG owns BL) but the biggest lego moc site has the part list which includes no
stickers, minifigs or any new parts.
thats no critic of your work Russel just my 2 bricks.

I don't even understand. Bricklink has some computer problems right now
and has long been needing some investment that we all hope Lego will be providing,
but you're talking about Randy, Marek, and the Pauls and I don't know
what you want from them that they don't give you.

I doubt it. The catmins especially know their stuff. Significantly more than
LEGO customer service reps do. When older parts are not available, the LEGO CS
often suggest replacement parts that are nothing like what they are meant to
replace.

Well, it looks like it was probably just a data entry accident. I went to see
what the instructions would say on the set that had it in medium azure and no
set, unless it is a brand new one, has it in medium azure.
I have the set. If no one has corrected it when I get home and can confirm,
I'll take care of it. But it certainly looks like someone already entered
PCCs from those instructions because only the lizard and the printed tiles lack

I know it's daft of me to think this, but can't you just call up the

of questioning us. Like we know.
You know. As in sincerely, can't you do that?

Regarding this color Rust, BrickLink's definition (and usage) don't line
up with the internal official palette, as you can see here:
http://ryanhowerter.net/colors.html
BrickLink sellers tend to list colors exactly as they see them, not what the
catalog says they are supposed to be. That is why there are 86 lots listed under
Rust, yet no inventory lists Rust as a "known" color. And the image "verifies"
the existence of this part in Rust - that's why I am hesitant to remove it.
As far as access to the "mothership" goes, it's still very early in the transition.
Yes, I could contact someone who could put me in touch with someone else who
has access to internal color info. But right now there are other much more important
issues to deal with, so I will be reserving my lifelines for those.
|
"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 and maybe "translucent light yellow" for old minifig hands and airtanks.

According to Ryan's sheet, 216 Rust is an official LEGO color. And 13 Red
Orange falls into that category too:

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 think it is
a deliberate color by Lego in this part. It is considered red by Lego, but appears
dull because of the material. If we are going to use our own color definitions,
which I have no problem with, then we should allow them in similar situations
like I mention where the appearance does not match the official Lego color because
of the part material. .

the image for Rust color should be removed. This part doesn't
exist in this color (but may appear rust colored as written in the note).

I'm not sure I follow this. This part does appear in a rust variant - we
have one here in the office. It's not exactly like other rust colors, but
it's not red either.
Why shouldn't rust be considered a verified color for this part?

If you have one there, could you make a better picture and upload to the catalogue?
The current one is small and blur...

I know it's daft of me to think this, but can't you just call up the
mothership and get an answer? Then definitively tell us what it is? I mean instead
of questioning us. Like we know.
You know. As in sincerely, can't you do that?

Regarding this color Rust, BrickLink's definition (and usage) don't line
up with the internal official palette, as you can see here:
http://ryanhowerter.net/colors.html
BrickLink sellers tend to list colors exactly as they see them, not what the
catalog says they are supposed to be. That is why there are 86 lots listed under
Rust, yet no inventory lists Rust as a "known" color. And the image "verifies"
the existence of this part in Rust - that's why I am hesitant to remove it.
As far as access to the "mothership" goes, it's still very early in the transition.
Yes, I could contact someone who could put me in touch with someone else who
has access to internal color info. But right now there are other much more important
issues to deal with, so I will be reserving my lifelines for those.

"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 and maybe "translucent light yellow" for old minifig hands and airtanks.

According to Ryan's sheet, 216 Rust is an official LEGO color. And 13 Red
Orange falls into that category too:

Thanhk you again.

LOL me again, and thank you for alerting me to this as well as I went back and
checked mine saw some of them had a base thickness of 1cm - this is wrong. Research
cap on and lo behold - I think there are still a few of these floating about:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1063022
So that gets to the how it is populated. How to mass change it is another matter
altogether. Would you just want to change the thickness or do you want actual
dimensions? For actual dimensions you are going to have to measure each and every
one which still has the z dimension set to 10mm or 0mm. There is no way to simply
check this you have to check your entire inventory manually as there is no tool
to search the packing dimensions of items in your inventory. I'm not quite
sure if you can mass change the dimensions for your inventory - are they not
all different? Setting them all to manual for the time being, would be the same
method as in that other thread, except now you go M for Manual.
To mass change the dimensions:
For an item which you want to change the dimensions to say dim X, dim Y, dim
Z to 180 x 38 x 28 mm
Use the find and replace method in this message:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1166531
You make the file as you would upload it and add the lines as follows: (put angle
brackets where I have now got square brackets)
[INVDIMX]180[/INVDIMX]
[INVDIMY]38[/INVDIMY]
[INVDIMZ]28[/INVDIMZ]
As I noted - you anyway have to punch in values for each one. It might be easier
to set them all to manual, have some unfortunae soul sit with a caliper for a
day and ask for mass update on this topic:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1059042
then reset your invetory again. It normally takes about a day for these to be
fixed, but since Russell is the only doing all of this now, I would suggest giving
a bit of extra time.
I'm also going to apologise here, I've never thought of checking those
dmension when I submit items for the catalogue. My bad. I will make a big fat
note to fix this oversight on my part, thank you again for pointing me in the
right direction.

Wonderful, Jean!
Between BrickStock and Notepad, it worked.
I changed every Instructions to Weight Bound and the Dimensions to 300x200x10mm
(A4 size). It works here because as long as it is under the 90cm linear measure,
only the weight counts for shipping rates.
(Will have to adjust the bigger ones A3 size manually, but they're only a
few.)
Thank you again for your detailed explanation!
I will be uploading many Instructions this year, hopefully I can enter the correct
dimensions to the Catalog whenever Catalog Changes are working again.
