  It would be good for consistency in the catalog description if all instances
of numbers were either integers or words, not arbitrarily some of each.

Agreed. Have added it to the Catalog Roadmap (currently item 29):

#7662 (SW: Trade Federation MTT) in particular this time).

For sets from that time period brickshelf is always worth a try.

For example:

At first try to weight the whole set and check the BL weight.

Otherwise this link may help you too.https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/lego-star-wars-7662-trade-federation-459893715

https://forum.brickpirate.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=24109 shows 2412a. Set in my personal collection has 2412b so both variants should be in this inventory.

Unfortunately it is not clear if the parts used to build the set for that review
are original. They are definitly not new (at least the technic axle has clearly
visible signs of usage) and the user "TOOL" mentioned somewhere in another review
thread that he sometimes uses two copies of a set for the reviews (a new one
to show the sealed bags and a used one to show the parts and the completed model).
Therefore in this case I would not consider the photos as a reliable source.

Jonas

I don't see any parts in that review that look particularly used. The Technic
axle has visible plastic flow lines in it, but I don't see any wear on it.

I have never seen anything like that on a new axle, but you may be right and
then everything is fine.

(Nevertheless I suggest to be careful with pics from that source. Here we can
see the wrong variant

And perhaps, when the next problem comes along, examining all of them again.
It almost makes a person think that there must be a better way . . .

Export the catalog to txt, and open in Excel. This will give you pretty much
unlimited ability to search. Write an Excel formula to find what you are looking
for. You can even write a formula to create the desired replacement title
if you like, then just copy paste the change back to BL.

Regexp is a little harder to do, but Google “Excel Regexp” and you’ll get some
examples how to create your own function Using Excel VB.

Or if you are just not into programming or that technical you could follow the
guidelines set out here for using the advanced filter option in Excel

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2720580/using-advanced-filters-in-excel-2010

Good luck with that.

Guess what - as an exercise I just tried this in Brickstok - it works a treat.
Use the filters to suggest the description contains a number or the word for
that number.

The only problem is once it found them all I could not easily mass update them.
The search works great though.

I totally support this change
Consistency is key
Maybe search and change all you can find and then put it out there on here for
messages about items missed. That’s if the sql person is on holiday or unavailable

  It would be good for consistency in the catalog description if all instances
of numbers were either integers or words, not arbitrarily some of each.

I have noticed this before and definitely agree it needs to be worked on. The
problem is (and I'm starting to understand the rearranging the chairs thing)
there are too many problems.

In the case of this problem, you can't even find the problem because you
can't search for it. So it would involve examining every single catalog
entry. All 100K+ of them.

And perhaps, when the next problem comes along, examining all of them again.
It almost makes a person think that there must be a better way . .

The answer is really quite simple - talk to a SQL person and they will advise
you how to organise your query to find precisely what you want. It isn't
rocket science. .

What do you want to find?

Something like this?
"* three *" = 153 results
"* 3 *" = 6675 results
"* three *" AND "* 3 *" = 16 results

As example, last search find:
"Technic, Panel Car Spoiler 3 x 8 with Three Holes and Black and Yellow Danger
Stripes and Mud Pattern (Stickers) - Set 7968"

"Primo Brick 1 x 1 with Three Flowers and Number 3 on Opposite Side Pattern"

Of course,I made query to find only for "three" and "3" on same description,
but with a regexp it should be simple to spot every "word digit" with "digit"
on same description like "blah with two legs and 1 arm"

Some other incoherence (digit 3 should be between '' when you have pattern
after):
"*number 3 *pattern*" = 22 result
"*number '3' *pattern*" = 3 result

If you know what you want to find, it should be easy to make a search query,
to spot the majority of incoherence.

* Change 1 Part Red 4502a Minifigure, Plume Feather Small {Regular to Extra}

Comments from Submitter:
I do not see these parts used on any model. If they are not going to be in the inventory as sprue, isn't it better to move them to the extra section?

From the Additional Information About Regular Items section of the Inventory
Sections: Regular, Extra, Counterpart, and Alternate
help page:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562

Parts on Sprues - Complete sprues are included in this section unless
some parts from the sprues are used in minifigures. In that case, the parts from
the sprues that are not used in minifigures are included in this section.

These requests will not be accepted.

Cheers,

I don't find this a good policy for this case.

Cheers,
Reza

All parts used for main or any other model of the set go to the regular section.
This is a good policy for regular section. Any other part that happened to come
with the set, not used in any model, directly or indirectly, is better to be
in the extra section.
I see we will have anyway some inconsistency with parts coming with sprues, no
matter which policy is chosen.

I have noticed this before and definitely agree it needs to be worked on. The
problem is (and I'm starting to understand the rearranging the chairs thing)
there are too many problems.

In the case of this problem, you can't even find the problem because you
can't search for it. So it would involve examining every single catalog
entry. All 100K+ of them.

And perhaps, when the next problem comes along, examining all of them again.
It almost makes a person think that there must be a better way . . .

So:

Three eyeballs, Three earlobes

or

3 eyeballs, 3 earlobes

not

Three eyeballs, 3 earlobes

...that kind of thing.

There are pros and cons for each option. Please investigate how the search mechanism
works to see which option yields better results.

Unfortunately, single digits are thrown out of many of the search results. But
I think in general one would find more numerals in item names than the words
spelled out simply because it makes the name shorter.

Please drop the keyword exclusion altogether.

It does not make sense to make use of a full text English language keyword exclusion
list, when the contents of the database is actually not normal full text English,
but a specific dialect: Bricklink English (EN-BL) in which it makes more sense
to search for keywords like 'with' and 'without' and for single
digits. It should be easy to adjust the database configuration. No programming
involved.

  I couldn't say without seeing the setup. It could be a diffuser, but it needs
to be positioned correctly. I'm seeing hard white highlights on the tiger
figure which suggests hard direct light. Also seems the light is coming from
the sides, kind of backlit.

I'm going to let you help me.

  Phones are a pain because of the wide angle lens. You end up always having to
be between the light source and the object if you want to get a closeup. There
may be telephoto clip-on lenses that might help. Also a tripod/clamp/mount.

I have a Moment case and a Moment telephoto lens, but I barely use it because
it won't work for me. But I have a cheap, cheap on that does and the Moment
case holds it at the right position.

  Are you doing any postproduction with Photoshop or Gimp or something?

Yes, Photoshop Elements.

  By the way, did I mention: The page cannot be displayed because an internal server
error has occurred.

I don't know if you did this time, but you have mentioned it before.

I apologize for no pictures. I was so excited about the dark nougat bar that I forgot I had other undetermined pieces. When I set out to sort out the set I dumped all the bags and then started to find variants when it was too late.

Aren't you the fella to talk to to get that changed, Mister Site Manager?


  But I think in general one would find more numerals in item names than the words
spelled out simply because it makes the name shorter.

While that is undoubtedly true, it's not particularly helpful in any way.
If you search, say, legs assemblies...

search for "three" you get two results
search for "3" you get: The following keywords were excluded from your search:
3
...however there are 13 entries containing "3"

Isn't the point of StormBluser's standardization plan to fix this stuff?
To paraphrase the StormBluser: why name something like this when 75% of the search
words are invalid?

Again, I'll make the point you need to distinguish between identification
and discovery. The identification of a thing is irrelevant if it can't be
discovered. People use the search box to find things, they don't browse 180,000
individual items looking for "3". Hope you get my drift.

Aren't you the number one proponent of making the catalog useful? Let's
figure out a way to make it useful.

How do I go about determining the Sticker # when Adding to the catalog.

For example one is a 87079pb###, how do I determine the last few digits?

Search for 87079pb*
You will get 725 results. The next ‘free’ number should be 726.

I have come across a few tiles with stickers that are not in the catalog.
, nor in their set inventory.

How do I go about determining the Sticker # when Adding to the catalog.

For example one is a 87079pb###, how do I determine the last few digits?
