  Hello,

It's remarkable quit now, about the Nougat colours!

With all do of respect and comprehension about the decision to change the name
from Flesh to Nougat...
I didn't follow all those threads and discussions/remark, some were so funny
I couldn't stop laugh about it...
But I assume it has to be one of the most controversial and humorous decision
made by BrickLink or Lego, isn't it?

Anyway, we can presume that most BL members have accepted (or learned to deal
with it) the name change of the colour!

Now is the question: which colour next ???

Greetings, Yannick


Do you know North Korea?

The same is here. Do not say anything against a decision by the Admins!

  For those who may have missed this recent change, we have decided to change the
name "Flesh" to another color name in the BrickLink catalog. I'm not going
to get into the reasons why this was done - the purpose here is to inform you
of what the changes were and how they may affect your BrickLink user experience.

The changes are 5 in number:

1. Light Flesh becomes Light Nougat

2. Flesh becomes Nougat

3. Medium Dark Flesh becomes Medium Nougat

4. Dark Flesh becomes Medium Brown

5. Dark Nougat is added to the BrickLink catalog, which is currently included
with BrickLink's Earth Orange.

Changes to the color names in Item Names are forthcoming. No changes to inventories
are necessary except to give Dark Nougat a place in the system.

How this may effect you:

1. If you rely on any of BrickLink's list pages that can be sorted by color
(set inventory, catalog search, catalog item detail page, etc.) some items may
be listed in a different order.

2. If you have your physical parts inventory sorted by color, you may need to
relabel. Dark Flesh is relatively rare, but if you have it, you will need to
change the labels to Medium Brown. That's the tough one, although renaming
it to a type of brown is a big step in the right direction.

3. If you perchance have the type of Earth Orange from the early 2000's,
you should separate out these parts and relist them under Dark Nougat. This color
is retired and quite rare.

Thanks to our BrickLink color enthusiasts for their input. They've given
invaluable advice over the years and we're happy they were willing to give
some advice this time around as well.


The first step....

  I thought I would post this Discussion to bring to the members awareness of a
possible misinterpretation of the Inventory list of Set 75248 Star Wars Resistance
A-Wing Starfighter. The inventory is listed correct as I see it. I just opened
a sealed complete set and confirmed the Inventory. The only Item in Question
is Part 15303 Trans-Red Bar 8L with round End (Spring Shooter Dart). In the Instructions
it does show 3 Items are used but only 2 are actually used in the set. At first
I would think the 3rd piece would be considered an extra part, but since all
three are listed in step 101 the last Instruction step. The Inventory should
remain unchanged.


All three are listed. But only two were used. There is no place for the third
one.

you sure about that? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=28870
and https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/replacementparts/sale shows that the part
doesnt exist in black but only in Dark Blue, Trans-Dark Blue, Trans-Light Blue,
Trans-Neon Green, Trans-Orange and Pearl Gold????

It just hasn't been added to Bricks & Pieces yet. 6286835 is indeed 28870
in black. It comes in the new Bookshop set.

I see but the bookstore isnt parted out on BL yet so op has to wait for that
(sadly BL is the worst side speed wise when it comes to adding inventories...)


Maybe it will be better if TLG uses its own admins.

Our current admins are in the process of becoming the LEGO Group's own admins.


OMG
