Design ID for stickers is the one before the / and the one after is the item
number.

The BrickLink item number/part number (or LEGO Design ID) is the one before the
slash and the BrickLink PCC (or LEGO Element ID) is the one after the slash.
That is exactly what I said above in my statement.

Cheers,

So this is basically a blocked open stud. We have two options:

1. Catalog them under the existing blocked open stud entry and add the new number
as an additional item number.

2. Create a new 3626d entry.

I don't have any preference here. What do others think?

Second option will be the best for now on.

Anyway, the question is...is the item on the roadmap?

Should you not start calling it an atlas?

  
I see what has been written here, and if I may offer a new user perspective?

I have a few tail pieces and ran some search tests (using various descriptions
of what I thought I should search for) to see what I could find, and the results
were all over the place. I had the most success just typing in airplane tail,
then adding parameters as I found them, but it was less than ideal. I did find
the tails I have, but it took several searches and they never all appeared in
the same search - which I would have expected searching just for airplane tail.
Interestingly, I didn't always get repeatable results. So I agree, we need
a workable standard.

After giving the matter some thought, I think I would find success with a W x
L X H x S and additional description afterward. Where W X L describes the base,
H for the height, and S for the sweep extension. For example:

2430 - 1 x 4 x 3 x 1 swept airplane tail, with 1 X 2 tip and RES Q sticker
6239 - 2 x 3 x 3.67 x 3 swept airplane tail, no decorations

Just my thoughts, it may not be the answer, but maybe it sparks a better idea?

Split the fin from the plates, and use its max dimensions thus:
2340 - 1 x 4 Tail Plate, 4 x 3 Fin, 1 x 2 T-Tail Plate and RES Q Sticker
6239 - 2 x 3 Tail Plate, 4 x 3.67 Fin
54094 - 2 x 14 Tail Plate, 14 x 8 Fin, 2 x 2 T-Tail Plate
(I don't have a
 
Part No: 54094  Name: Tail 14 x 2 x 8
* 
54094 Tail 14 x 2 x 8
Parts: Tail
, but I think those are the dimensions, obviously
it must be corrected as required)
This might also allow dimensions to be entered for the rest of that category
(how does a tail, shuttle differ from a tail shuttle, small? Both are tails,
just add the dimensions and do away with shuttle and small as descriptors, since
the one is not the small version of the other anyway)

Decide on a proper definition of a Tail part actually and standardise its descriptions.
Decide if the purpose is a vertical stabiliser, for which
 
Part No: 30925  Name: Vehicle, Spoiler 1 x 4 on 1 x 2 Base
* 
30925 Vehicle, Spoiler 1 x 4 on 1 x 2 Base

also becomes
a Tail, or if a Tail is wedge, plate, brick etc modified by fins, for which

It is, but definitely a good additional point to consider. I added the following
sentence to that project:

"Per mfav this project should also include an examination of how part dimensions
are titled, especially parts that have dimensions that exceed an attachment plate
(airplane tails, for example)."

And let me just say that it's not my roadmap. I made it for all of us to
share. It's our roadmap, our ongoing discussion about how to best
organize this catalog we share.

  Hello

We have 2 sets with faulty print box of Pet Shop (front of box shows 1332 pieces
vs 2032 official) - as relative new to selling appreciate help how best to put
it into the store inventory? Should it be a custom item, or should it be 10218-1
with custom image?

Many thanks in advance

That’s interesting, do you have pictures of the boxes?
If it’s sealed I would list it as 10218-1 with custom picture and additional
notes describing the error.
Where did you buy them? Was the error presented to you before you bought the
sets?

That one is a lot easier to measure with your eyes.

If a single consistent rule is necessary and this is the way it needs to go,
I'm not going to stand in the way.

But if the tails could say they are a tail on a 1x4 base, I'd like that.
For packaging dimensions we really need to see the extremes, but in the name
of the piece we need to see what we will search for and what will help us identify
the piece. I can't imagine a scenario when you are building something with
an airplane tail where you need to make sure it is going to clear some tolerance.

Is there a standardization scheme in the works for items like these shown, and
similar items, where the length exceeds the footprint of the attachment plate?

If you're going by the scheme used for 6239, then 2430 ought to be a 1x5.
If you're going by the scheme used for 2430, then 6239 ought to be a 2x3.

I know this is bound to have implications all over the catalog with many modified
bricks and plates and other things, especially when you get into SNOT pieces,
but there's inconsistency within and across categories now.

One would think the overall x-y-z dimensions of the piece would be considered
every time...

I know this is going to require some quiet contemplation followed by noisy debate,
but some semblance of consistency would be really nice to have.

I think average Joe-catalogsearcher will have better luck if the name is the
dimensions of the plate at the bottom. Measuring how far the tail extends backward
is a more advanced skill.

Agreed.

Sure it does. You just add the second part number as an alternate item number
and put both Element IDs in two separate PCC slots. In this case, the vendor
number (the 140413A or 134071A) don't matter, but on some they will.

Cheers,
Randy

So this is basically a blocked open stud. We have two options:

1. Catalog them under the existing blocked open stud entry and add the new number
as an additional item number.

2. Create a new 3626d entry.

I don't have any preference here. What do others think?

I'd say get rid of the current numbering system and give the sticker sheets
the part number which is written on the sheet itself. Then put the set # into
the description.

Hi everyone,

my set
 
Set No: 70432  Name: Haunted Fairground
* 
70432-1 (Inv) Haunted Fairground
443 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 2020
Sets: Hidden Side
came with a new minifigure head type with two holes and new
number 28621. It is already listed at Brickset:
https://brickset.com/parts/design-28621

Looks like the new mold is only used for transparent heads. All three trans-neon
green heads (1x plain, 2x printed) in my set are the new type while all other
heads are 3626c.

How should the new type (and the printed variants) be added to the catalog?

Regards,
Jonas

Ten years ago I would have found this worthwhile and interesting. Regardless,
someone should probably get it done. Maybe I should make this message a catalog
request so the CAs can look into it.

Bored? Dive in and clean it up! Figure out what needs to be done and start

I don't have time + interest at this particular moment, but it needs to be

I'm still interested in hearing additional ideas on the best way to handle
this restructuring. As I said, I do have some ideas, but I'd rather hear
what others think first so that I'm not influencing opinions.

This is the question from my original post:

  Sticker sheets are handled quite consistently at the present moment. How can we retain that consistency while eliminating duplicate entries with the least amount of disruption?

I'll likely post back here within the next week with what I see as some of
our options so that we may discuss them.

I was trying to identify some Marbled Bionicle Rhotuka Spinner and I noticed
that only 2 colors show up in the known colors list. However, if you click the
link for Color Images it shows actual pictures of 13 identified colors. Why aren't
the other 11 colors shown in the known list? I have the Yellow Marbled and Dark
Red Marbled on hand if additional pictures are needed. The ones I have came from
a bulk lot purchased years ago so, I have no way to identify which set they are
from. My intuition tells me they were from either set #8748-1 or set #6620-1.
 
Set No: 8748  Name: Rhotuka Spinners
* 
8748-1 (Inv) Rhotuka Spinners
5 Parts, 2005
Sets: BIONICLE: Supplemental
 
Set No: 6620  Name: Ultimate Accessory Set 500
* 
6620-1 (Inv) Ultimate Accessory Set 500
507 Parts, 2006
Sets: BIONICLE: Supplemental

While I'm on the topic, does anyone know if the Spinners in set 8749-1 were
all of one color (I am referring only to the 4 Marbled Spinners without code)?
A standard mix of colors? or Completely random assortment of color?

Hi,
Anyone knows what finish the 8 x 8 DBG dish that is included in 75159 death star
comes into? There seems to be 2 variants of finish on this one (smooth and shiny)

  So, what is the official policy for pieces with official Lego part numbers that

Such as:

Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Black Number 5 Coin Pattern

Lego: 17968
FLAT TILE 1X1, ROUND "NO.24"

Obviously the Lego description needs some work, but I would prefer to see the
Lego number when it is known. It facilitates checking shop.lego.com for new bricks.

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogAdd.asp

You can submit the LEGO ID for that specific part as an alternate. As far as
I can tell 17968 is only used for that specific part and not for 1x1 round tiles
as a whole.

Gotta ask out of curiosity... are you planning a large scale DBG MOC?

It's to complete some SW UCS kits that i'm rebricking

Right!
I always noticed this "missing figures" but I always thought that there were
only skipped code for some reasons (like mistakes) and then forgotten.
So, when I will find a skipped code I will need only to search that number in
the page you linked before, to see what happened.
I tried now with njo520 and right, it was the same figure as njo532.

Many thanks again!!

You can notice frequently such gaps
In Star Wars there are few for example.

Also you can spot this when submitting stickered counterparts which you are doing,
that is why always take next free number not one missed.

  Hi there,

Can someone please enter the correct weight of instruction booklet 6624 Delivery
Van. Due to Bricklink catalog the weight of this booklet is 55 grams, but it
should be 3 grams.

Thank you.

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=S

Type 6624 at the top by "Item No:"

Put the weight next to "Change Weight of Instructions To:" and check the white
box to the left.

Then "Submit Request"

It is very easy, but I want you to do it because it was your discovery and your
measurement and you should get the credit for it.

Thank you axaday, wanted to change it but it has already been done.

99% DBG, those technic panels w/stickers on them are most likely flat silver
though.

  Hi there,

Can someone please enter the correct weight of instruction booklet 6624 Delivery
Van. Due to Bricklink catalog the weight of this booklet is 55 grams, but it
should be 3 grams.

Thank you.

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=S

Type 6624 at the top by "Item No:"

Put the weight next to "Change Weight of Instructions To:" and check the white
box to the left.

Then "Submit Request"

It is very easy, but I want you to do it because it was your discovery and your
measurement and you should get the credit for it.

Not very easy to say without a reference but there’s a plate that looks more
olivey on the upper left, so I’d say most of it is DBG but there’s DG in there
too.

Thank you

Those big plates with the big round hole in them only comes in dark bluish gray,
so I'd say the majority of this lot is dark bluish gray.

Thank you

Another issue might be sticker sheets that come with gear sometimes have the
same numbers on different sheets. I guess these can have A's and B's
added if needed.

Thank you

Why don't you put all items into a stockroom.
This way the inventory is still there with the prices and you can just go in
and change the quantity and then move it back into a store item.

If you still want to delete your inventory, the location to do this is in the
same place.

On your inventory page
https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp

Click on the category box.

Then click on "Change availability status" radio button and then click on the
"to Stockroom Item" button.
(If you do want to delete your entire inventory, there is a delete items button
as well)

Make sure to click on the "submit changes" button on the bottom of the page.

tried changing it in the inventory (no luck since its a minifig entry) so cannot

tried the minifig, but that can't have alternate parts,


why does this have to be so hard?
trying to add to the catalog seems to be a 1 time thing for me now, since it's
already taking me 30 minutes to do this, and nothing has happened,

Minifigures can't have alternate parts. So an alternate minifigure needs
to be added to the catalog. That new minifigure can then be added as an alternate
to the set inventory.

I'll state the obvious: put the color in the description field, not the color
field.
Clear carrier
White carrier
Silver carrier
etc.

3 sets: 21

If they were as suggested, not a part any longer, that would not be an issue.
A dedicated section like instructions or sets... sticker sheets?

Or is this messing with the database and too much to accomplish?

If the only difference with Intl/NA is the sheet number, then combine them. If
there is a difference, keep them separate.

  At long last, it is time. By the end of March, my goal is to eliminate duplicate
catalog entries for sticker sheets:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogRelList.asp?relID=15

You can see that this has been moved from Section 11.1 to 11.2 on the roadmap:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476

I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear yours - especially those of you who've
given this some thought over the past decade or so that some of us have wanted
it.

Sticker sheets are handled quite consistently at the present moment. How can
we retain that consistency while eliminating duplicate entries with the least
amount of disruption?

As a side note, how do you feel about the NA/International duplicate entries?
These are the same sticker sheets, but have different item numbers, differently-sized
paper backing, and in some cases a slightly different finish (matte vs. glossy).
I don't want to get too distracted with this particular side discussion,
but do we need to maintain separate catalog entries for these sheets? Do you
want us to?

Looking forward to hearing some discussion and seeing some ideas other than my
own to get these duplicate entries handled.

I'm sure many here know, but for those that don't, Bret has specialized
in Lego sticker sales in the past, and has more knowledge on the topic than most.
A voice to listen to in this.

I agree with all of this.

Seller too. The going price for the same sticker might be higher on a different
listing and you might not even know.

Yes, true. It also increases the number of people looking for the one you list
as, although of course also increases the number of competitor sheets being sold.

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogRelList.asp?relID=15 should all be merged.

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogRelList.asp?relID=5&catID=160
If the only difference with Intl/NA is the sheet number, then combine them. If
there is a difference, keep them separate.

I would also like that color be required for sticker sheets. And that it be based
on what the sticker is printed on. So, white, trans-clear, Chrome Silver, Chrome
Gold. it's useful for MOC builders.

I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear yours - especially those of you who've
given this some thought over the past decade or so that some of us have wanted
it.

Sticker sheets are handled quite consistently at the present moment. How can
we retain that consistency while eliminating duplicate entries with the least
amount of disruption?

As a side note, how do you feel about the NA/International duplicate entries?
These are the same sticker sheets, but have different item numbers, differently-sized
paper backing, and in some cases a slightly different finish (matte vs. glossy).
I don't want to get too distracted with this particular side discussion,
but do we need to maintain separate catalog entries for these sheets? Do you
want us to?

Looking forward to hearing some discussion and seeing some ideas other than my
own to get these duplicate entries handled.

From a buyer's point of view, I don't think it does make sense. If a
sticker sheet has come in five different sets, then you have to look at five
different listings if you want to know the going price / best price or availability.
If you have one on a wants list then you might miss it completely in a store
if a seller has one of the other numbered but exactly the same sheets.

Good point!

2) No strong opinion on Intl/NA versions, but more inclined to lump them together
(as in don't mantain separate catalog entries).

3) Sticker shouldn't be a Part! In my opinion Should be treated as Instructions
or Original Box.

4) Thank you!

Are they still doing separate sheets for North America? It has been a while
since I have seen new ones, but maybe people stopped fussing with it? Or I got
numb?

I don't see a NEED for separate listings for NA on its face, but eliminating
them complicates my preferred solution to the other part, which is adopting the
5 digit number on the sheet as the item number. The name being "Sticker Sheet

Well can't you add one number as the ID and the other to the alternate ID
as with some parts?


  for 40175 40176" may not get too cumbersome. I don't know how overused some
sheets are. But "40175-40176-40177stk01" is not a fun item number.

Stating if the sheet is complete or incomplete would be useful for the price
guide.

Sticker sheets that appear in multiple sets are an issue possibly the number
should be the first set that used that sheet, any subsequent set that uses the
same sticker sheet could be referenced back to the first set or sheet number.

Would the part number need to be that long if it is used that way? If it first
appeared in set 40175, call it 40175stk01. If it appears in lots of sets at the
same time, use the lowest set number.

Although I am not against using a number actually on the sheet to identify it,
it is often the first thing to type in if you are unsure of what you have. That
should also be searchable.

As far as I know, all duplicate sticker sheets before 90s were exactly the same,
like
Match #602
So for those, the number of the relevent sets should appear in the name, like..
Sticker for Sets 1966, 6373, 6377, 6391 - Sheet 2, 5 White Window Stripes

but "Sheet 2,5" should then be removed.

Many thanks for starting this! My preference would be to eliminate the NA/international
entries for consistency, maybe notes could be used to mention differences and
sellers could specifiy in listings if they wish. I'd also like to see used/incomplete
tags for part sheets, again where sellers specify in the listing what is actually
included or missing.

I think the same as Robert and yorbrick

I did not design this website or the way it's intended to function.

Nor do I have any significant input on the way it will operate in the future,
at least from a design standpoint.

But we can talk about all this in further detail if/when the dimensions project
occurs.

The primary purpose for including stud-size dimensions is so that builders will
know the size of a part that they may not own and how that part would fit (or
if it would fit at all) into a MOC.

So stud-size dimensions have a legitimate purpose. If I'm building something,
I don't want to pull out a tape measure and start counting millimeters to
decide if a part I like (but don't own) will fit where I need it to fit.

But stud dimensions can be in the title...?

Looking forward to hearing some discussion and seeing some ideas other than my

Personally, I'd like to see duplicates removed. If a sheet appears in one
set then call it "Sticker Sheet for 10001". If it then appears in another set,
call it "Sticker Sheet for 10001 10002". For NA/International sheets, a single
entry is fine for me unless there are actual differences in the stickers on the
sheet.

I'd also like to see the word sheet go in there, to indicate that these should
be sticker sheets as supplied by LEGO, and not stickers removed from sheets and
applied to parts. Plus while we are at it, incomplete sheets should not be allowed
to be listed under the complete sheet listing unless the system is changed to
allow incomplete items to be excluded from searches / price guide.

At long last, it is time. By the end of March, my goal is to eliminate duplicate
catalog entries for sticker sheets:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogRelList.asp?relID=15

You can see that this has been moved from Section 11.1 to 11.2 on the roadmap:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476

I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear yours - especially those of you who've
given this some thought over the past decade or so that some of us have wanted
it.

Sticker sheets are handled quite consistently at the present moment. How can
we retain that consistency while eliminating duplicate entries with the least
amount of disruption?

As a side note, how do you feel about the NA/International duplicate entries?
These are the same sticker sheets, but have different item numbers, differently-sized
paper backing, and in some cases a slightly different finish (matte vs. glossy).
I don't want to get too distracted with this particular side discussion,
but do we need to maintain separate catalog entries for these sheets? Do you
want us to?

Looking forward to hearing some discussion and seeing some ideas other than my
own to get these duplicate entries handled.

That it ought.

If the next argument I hear is that it should be a 1 x 2 because that's how
many anti-studs are on the bottom then the

Sure should, and the description should be “Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Tipper
End Flat with Pins”!

Barman, another one! The seagulls can walk.¹

That's true if the stud size dimensions are accurate; but when something
is really 1 x 1.4 but is labeled 1 x 1...not so much.

But by looking at the picture it is very easy to determine what is meant by the
1x1 size and it is easy to see that the tooth sticks over the edge adding a little
more dimensional size to it but at least you can know the general size.

Okay, the picture.
And tt’s somewhat okay to have only “1 x 1” within the description because it’s
followed by a “with…”, but what help is “1x1” in the size field?

Or we could talk about this part:

which doesn’t have anything in its size field but with the same “rule” would

The description field doesn’t give you the real size at all.
The picture doesn’t give you a useful approximation.
And were the size field filled this way (1x2), it would be useless.

True, but in terms of discovery...search...if you want to find something that's
1x1 and you find all these other things: 1 1/3, 1.4, 1 1/8, how useful is that
set of results?

Now granted, the whole search mechanism and the whole database need to be addressed,
but either the data is correct or it is incorrect. Sort of correct, sometimes,
in some instances, if you look at a picture, and so on...that's just noise
to be sifted through. So the results are useless or nearly useless.

Folks have settled for this dog poop data here for so long, they've become
accustomed to or accepting of it. And there's no need. These things can be
fixed now...at least to some degree. Everybody has their own kludge. Nobody should
need one.

I do not think it's searchable

If you take this part as example
 
Part No: 2383  Name: Electric, Light 1 1/8 x 2 x 1 2/3 Cabinet with Lamp Holes (Sign Back)
* 
2383 Electric, Light 1 1/8 x 2 x 1 2/3 Cabinet with Lamp Holes (Sign Back)
Parts: Electric, Light & Sound

Size: 1.12 x 2 x 1.67 in studs
Description: 1 1/8 x 2 x 1 2/3

Searching "1.12" or "1.67" will not return this part.
It return the same result as "1 12" or "1 67"
The search form replace '.' with ' '

Okay, thanks.

And that’s also another example of the description containing the size but in
another for (fractions instead of decimals). So the more I look into the size
field and the less it’s useful.

The primary purpose for including stud-size dimensions is so that builders will
know the size of a part that they may not own and how that part would fit (or
if it would fit at all) into a MOC.

So stud-size dimensions have a legitimate purpose. If I'm building something,
I don't want to pull out a tape measure and start counting millimeters to
decide if a part I like (but don't own) will fit where I need it to fit.
