I think there you are talking about run change things. Minor adjustments to
a mold to use less plastic or something that don't change its function at
all don't make "a difference". But a change of design on a hat makes it

In regards to the two Unikitties in set , if you only want to list
one of them, fine. But which one? The decision is totally arbitrary. The box
itself is effectively two separate presentations. It doesn't have a front
and back, so much as two fronts. If you look at the instructions, they do NOT
have numbers. Instead it has two equal, independent instruction books. Really,
this set is two completely independent sets that happen to use the same parts.
As such, choosing just one of those Unikitties is a completely arbitrary decision,
and it can be argued that either one should be the primary.
|
The box, instructions, and LEGO set description are definitive about the situation,
although it may not look that way at first.
(1) LEGO lists the first instruction manual as the one used to build the house.
(2) The set is named "Emmet's Dream House/Rescue Rocket!", so it is clear
which model is considered the main model and which is considered the alternate
model.
(3) The set description from LEGO.com says "This 2-in-1 construction toy features
Emmet’s home which can be rebuilt into a rocket."
All of the key information is there to determine that the main model is the house
and the alternate model is the rescue rocket. Based on that determination, the
instruction manual for the house takes precedence.
| This is NOT a case where there is an obvious primary build of the minifigure,
with a side picture showing an alternative build. (Like a character that has
both a helmet and hair, where one is the primary build, and the other is an alternative
for play purposes.) No, this is outright two separate minifigures that just happen
to use common parts. This is a very different case than just about any other
situation.
|
It cannot be two separate minifigures, because there is only one tail for Unikitty
in the set, as well as only one set of ears, one horn, and one headband plate.
Therefore, we have to make a decision about what minifigure gets added to the
set for now. That minifigure was determined based on the above data that I listed.
In the future, when the "Minifigs:" section of an inventory will hopefully just
be an "Assemblies:" section which includes other assembled counterparts, two
different assemblies of parts can be added. However, we are nowhere close to
that.
The admins can discuss this situation some more, but I don't believe we will
come to a different decision at this time.
Cheers,
Randy

situation.
Also, if they can't be listed as counter-parts, how are they supposed to
be sold. It is flat out the case that this minifigure will be sold as a minifigure,
whether it has a specific listing or not. There are only two ways to do so: one
is as a custom figure (which is pointless) and the other is as an incomplete
set (which is what will be done). When listed as an incomplete set, this pollutes
the averages on which so much stuff is based. When it is such a small part of
the set, that can have a very over-sized impact on those averages. By allowing
the counterpart figure, you avoid those issues.

I completely agree.
But I also know from experience that bundling too many things in together is
not conducive to finishing things. So I may make this a separate project. One
way or the other, it is needed.

I'm content to let the mad geniuses of catalog control sort out the catalog.
I'm just documenting the differences I can find in the handful of hats I
have.
Regardless of whatever else, the presence of the prong on some hats and the absence
on others I would think constitutes a different mold, and the supercollectors
may want to note the differences. But, again, I'm content to let the catmins
sort all that out.
If you want to get really crazy, the undersides of the brims also exhibit differences
under the magnifying glass. Some are smooth, some have a pebbled inner and outer
ring, some have an inner ring with parallel striations instead of pebbling, a
couple have a narrow band of striations in an otherwise smooth inner ring. The
subtleties are kind of endless.
For whatever it's worth, though, mine are:
Black 90460: fine pebbling overall
Black: smooth cone, pebbled brim, with prong,
Black: slightly pebbled cone, pebbled brim, with prong,
Blue, Purple, Green: slightly pebbled cone, definitely pebbled brim, with prong
Dark Green, Dark Green with dragon decoration: definitely pebbled cone and brim,
no prong
Tan: slightly pebbled cone, definitely pebbled brim, no prong
Light Purple: cone too beat up to tell if it's smooth or slightly pebbled,
definitely pebbled brim, with prong
The dark green ones and the 90460 are pretty much pristine; the others are old
and worn. Your mileage may vary.
My sample size is small, so additional data is probably warranted if the admins
want to try to make sense of it.
I just updated the hats page with closeups. Don't know if you saw that version
or the earlier no-closeups version.
My opinion otherwise though is that using renders instead of photographs for
the parts is misleading for the collector.
Did I mention: The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error
has occurred.

I don't know if that rule applies to minifig categories, but I guess it depends
on how far down the "collector's details" rabbit hole you want to go. .
I have about 98% of the Harry Potter sets if you want to use that for year of

| We are finally making serious headway with the catalog backlog. The catalog
change requests queue is cleared out.
In the spirit of trying to ensure that the Catalog Roadmap is not just something
to look at, I am continuing with the goal of moving through one project each
month. We have essentially had a January project (flesh to nougat) and there
is a new project starting today for February:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476
What is this project?
This project involves accurately describing the differences between early (old)
versions of an item and later (new) versions. We need this for two reasons:
1. Using the words "old" and "new" were easy ways to avoid having to describe
actual differences between items. Set numbers in minifigure titles performed
the same function, which is why they were removed.
2. When a third version of an item appears, the old/new descriptors are useless.
Similar items should be described by their differences (usually the way in which
the later version is different from the earlier version).
There are around 500-1000 items expected to be affected by this project.
How can members contribute?
For the immediate moment, members may contribute by submitting title change requests.
I'm not sure how we're going to do item numbers yet, so hold off on
those. If you're not confident that you know exactly what this project entails
or need clarification on a specific issue, then please ask before submitting
a request.
For the immediate moment, ignore the additional topic bundled with this project
(looking at the use of with/without in titles). We may be able to include that,
or it may need to be made its own project. This project should also look at
the use of early/later descriptors since they serve the same function as the
terms old/new.
The goal is to wrap this up by the end of February. Of course, we also have
catalog work still to do and that takes precedence over projects - so this may
run over schedule.

They look the same and LEGO uses the same thumbnail image for both. The small

knew what I was doing. I cannot confirm the part number or what set it was from.
(I guess we all start somewhere!)
Anyway, I would like to see convincing side by side proof that they are significantly

I've got a question, Jen...
When are you going to arrive at the same conclusion that StormChaser already
has, that the BL catalog needs those like you (passion for, and knowledge of
the catalog process) and rejoin the team?
It is abundantly clear, that like Robert, you care and are impassioned about
BrickLink's catalog construction.
Consider with those already in place, and you (maybe a few others I can think
of) it would be the makings of a BL Catalog Dream Team.

I agree. I had about 4000 of the old kind, and went to the Lego store to get
1000 more to finish a MOC. They only had the new frosted kind, which would look
very out of place next to the ones I already had, so I had to find them elsewhere.
For sellers, these should be easy to separate. I'd also like to see the rounded
vs. flat ends separated in the catalog but that may be more difficult

Comments from Submitter:
Since the 4871, 4854 and 6636 are extra items, I assume those parts also need to be listed as extra`s. Since they are also exclusive used in the cross over model.
|
According to BrickLink inventory guidelines, in the absence of an official parts
list for a set, the official part count on the set packaging can be used to determine
as closely as possible the contents of the Regular Items section of the set inventory:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562
Since the official part count on the packaging for this set is 76 pieces, all
of the parts included in this set to be used to build the mini TIE bomber are
Regular Items.
Therefore, these requests will not be accepted, and I will adjust the inventory
manually to account for the required changes.

Someone just pointed me to this topic, which i never saw earlier.
Can this be the reason that lots are 'disappearing' from our inventory?
That would be a bad thing to do i think. Can you confirm this?
Today i noticed a lot of older regular items have been removed / or renewed with
a different Lot Id. That's causing issues on our side.
Maybee you can contact us, so we can discuss this?

Sure, Josh, I could and would for the current admin. In my book they are the
best we've seen here. Truly gifted and dedicated people, with strong guidance
from Russell.
But let me ask you, why is it needed? Given that TLG are in possession of the
site and it's catalog's information. They can spin whatever yarn they'd
like. In other words, get it straight from the horse's mouth. It's a
gift for you purest, if played right.

The group of color names 'flesh' were purely constructs that BL came
up with. THe 'nougat' family of names has been available in the LEGO
community, since at least 2011, when TLG gave to Peeron a reasonably accurate
list (as of that point in time). Now, having said that, before anyone knew the
names should have been 'nougat', BL began to coin color names, and this
likely began about 2003, when certain NBA minifigures came out with what appeared
to be flesh like shade of ABS. Having not seen much of this before, BL created
their own name(s). Soon thereafter, some of the HP minifigs transitioned from
basic yellow to flesh like shades.
What is happening here, is to steer the BL color inventory to align with other
sites, and (in the case of Earth Orange) to untangle errors that were being perpetuated
by a lack of clear information at BL.
IMHO, it's for the greater good, and people need to recognize that.

Interesting choices to start with, Marek!
Nonetheless, as to your first example: the full triangle is the anomaly. It was
initially intended as full triangle but as production produced a flawed triangle,
it was quickly corrected (wrongly in some minds) to the commonly seen trapezoid
shape. So, what’s the norm? I couldn’t say, it’s a matter of perspective. However,
the quantity of fully 'faulty' triangle produced, is far less than that
of the corrected trapezoid version.

People noticed...
With respect to you personally Marek, for myself and let’s say a group
of Lego Star Wars Collectors that collaborate, we’ve stopped attempts to correct
or add to the BL catalog some years back, when our continued efforts were rejected
or dismissed out of hand, by those placed into those positions at the time, that
could do just that without consideration.
There’s more than a few corrections needed to the Stars Wars portion of the BL
catalog. It’s too bad, such poor judgement in personnel had been used in the
past. Now, some in the know (through painstaking research) that had once cared,
don’t.
That’s all that I would like to say, but should not! While simultaneously
disavowing that which I would like to say, and shouldn't - How’s that
for equivocating
On a serious note, good job, Marek! Now to the next, there’s plenty You are
invaluable to the current catalog team, IMHO of course.

I believe I've explained that. You can't add the part without a sticker
in the way you requested. However, the correct part that you submitted has been
approved to the catalog:
That one may be added to the set inventory.

Interesting, more than ten years and almost nobody noticed it.
(OK I understand we can see them only from the front as they never retreat when
they attack so you can't see their back )
Interesting in our catalog torso is showed without long line.
According to the information which I found here
http://minifigs.nl/swminifigs/mfnl-shadow-ms.html
one with long line could be from magnet set from 2009.
* | | 852715 (Inv) Magnet Set, Minifigures SW (3) - Darth Vader, Snowtrooper, Shadow Trooper - with 2 x 4 Brick Bases blister pack Gear: Magnet: Star Wars |
so from sets which were issued earlier 2007 and 2008 could be one with short
line
My with short line is from set
I have also two in my collection with long line but bought them years ago loose
without sets.
I submitted both as new as in this case sw0166 should be marked for deletion
as we don't know which one is currently sell under this entry.
