have features that other systems do not have, such as complete minifig and minifig
part data, stickers, counterparts, and extras. This is the reason that sellers
prefer to part out using BrickLink inventories, even if it means they have to
wait a while.

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.
|
Well right now we have a sort of "situation" which is slowing things down more
than normal. But also, that is not really an important set. Nowhere near the
importance of the latest collectible minifigures. If someone has to wait until
February for that one, it's not the end of the world. Besides, like you say,
other sites have it. So let people use those other sites. 
| | 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.
|
The new Terms of Service include the Discussion Forum Rules, and they haven't
changed. You can name anything you want. Just don't promote a competitor
site.

I don't take criticism personally - this is a community effort.
We could import the data just like Brickset and other places do, but that's
not the kind of inventory data our users have come to expect. BrickLink inventories
first and foremost are for parting out new sets. Because we know what a monkey
wrench it throws into the system when people part out an inventory with an error
in it, we do EVERYTHING we can to prevent an error in an inventory. It has to
be complete, complete, complete, with no errors.
We will not divulge the measures we take to check our inventories, but I will
say that the steps we take are considerable and when an inventory rolls off the
assembly line it is virtually bulletproof. And with our continual updates, it
will remain bulletproof as long as the catalog exists.

My string is actually 77.5 cm.

The string on my new 7838 is 76cm. This is why the length of wires and strings
should be rather given something like "about 75cm", not "75cm" or not "15 studs".
|
That's what the entry means. 75cm means about or at least 75cm long.

The volunteer admins are currently on break waiting for the status to be settled
with The Lego Group, so Russell is working alone right now. He's approving
new items and new inventories, but he isn't doing a lot of changes to old
inventories. I don't know what the timeline is, but you may have to wait
until Randy and Paul are back.

the point was not about people not submitting but BL not making inventories available:

Thanks for clarifying. Everything above seemed to refer to inventories getting
made. For instance the set that we were talking about, 10270, has never been
reserved. The inventory is not pending. No one has decided to do it.
