Hi,

The reason why 3830c01 Hinge Brick 1 x 4 Swivel is marked for deletion is not
justified IMHO ("it sets a precedent for adding dozens of unnecessary combinations
of hinges").

I don't think anyone has the intention to create colour-combinations for
these two parts combined.

Most sellers just want to sell the two parts together to avoid unequal (worthless)
quantities of the underlying parts.

So can this decision be undone please so that new items can be listed?

Best regards,
Kris - Autour des Briques

Part 15107 in two shades of trans blue, only trans light blue known in sets but
trans medium blue listed for sale.

Thought I'd just confirm there are variations/different trans blues.

Info only.

This is a secondary concern, also having to do with Games being listed under
Gear.

In the case of G3853, there are a number of sellers trying to sell the empty
box. But Gear does not allow for listing Original Boxes, only Instructions. Therefore,
they are listing them under the primary set listing.

Can anything be done about this shortcoming in Gear ? I know that in Sets, it
is variable if a Set has Instructions or not. The same may apply within Gear
for Boxes.

Does 3024 plate 1x1 exist in Metallic Gold?

I do have some examples in front of me (genuine parts) that don't look at
all as Pearl Gold but do look as Metallic Gold. But the latter is not featured
as a known colour.

Can someone else confirm the existence of 3024 in Metallic Gold?

And if so, please add it to the catlogue as a known colour!

I was about to create the stickered counterpart
for the blue 1x2x1 panel with rounded corners, but I noticed that all stickered
counterparts for 1x2x1 panels are created as "4865pbXXX", ignoring which variant
of the panel it is. I guess sellers must specify it manually. On the other hand,
for the stickered 1x2x2 bricks, both variants of the brick exists as

There is an error in the catalog regarding the heads for referenced minifigs.
The catalog says both scd001 and scd003 have the same heads, however they are
different if you look at their faces in the catalog. Also, if you look up the
head numbers on both, it says that 2 minifigs have the same head: scd001 and
scd003, but they don't.

In actuality, scd001 has head number 3626cpd1379; scd003 has 3626cpd1375. When
you try to look up 3626cpd1375, the catalog references head 3626cbpb1379. You
cannot buy 3626cpb1375 on the market, it automatically looks up 3626cbp1379.

This is the first time I've found an error in the catalog. I want to buy
3626cpb1375. Will I be notified when the catalog is fixed?

Thank you,

Ms. Dale Kurtz

Hello,

is this possible to ask for a description enhancement? The part 6553 for example
is just impossible to find without Jedi powers, it does not even have axle in
the name...

Is there a procedure for this kind of demand?

Thanks

Any plan to resurrect special assemblies?

I came across a mostly complete

 
Set No: 76031  Name: The Hulk Buster Smash
* 
76031-1 (Inv) The Hulk Buster Smash
224 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1 Book, 2015
Sets: Super Heroes: Avengers Age of Ultron

I didn't want to break the hulkbuster down so I decided I'd list him
on another site and oh boy...
Apparently said site has a new policy where buyers can request a cancellation
in the first hour.

Didn't see that message request and printed a label while I was in paypal
printing 10 other labels for bricklink.

Apparently, the action of printing a label automatically denies a buyer's
cancellation request.
Which is silly as I had no problem refunding since I hadn't shipped.

The other site would not let me cancel and refund through them. I got in contact
with CS and they said I had to refund through the paypal transaction since "I
denied the original request".
Then if I gave CS the paypal transaction, they would give me credit for the fees,
but I'm not holding my breath. I'm guessing they'll credit back the
final value fee, but I'm definitely out on the papal fees and the jury's
out on the sales tax.

Funny how THEY charge the buyer sales tax, and then when YOU give a full refund,
the sales tax portion gets refunded out of YOUR balance!?

Another funny thing is that paypal adds the sales tax that ebay collects to the
total and charges you 2.9% on that total. So you're paying a percent fee
on a percent tax collected by another entity..

I personally don't feel there should be sales tax on used items.

These days, that other site is about only good for buying and sorting out high
quality pcs to relist on this site.

So if special assemblies are a hassle with inventories, can we list partial components
of sets as "custom items"?

I have torso v neck blue overalls with white arms and wide stitch spacing on
overalls as seen in picture of listing cty0340.
However when i go into the parts of that listing the torso has a different tight
stitch spacing and the head post has the black part on it(mine does not have
this black mark either). I have looked and am unable to find any other pictures
or references.
I have 3 of them if that helps.
Wondering if anyone can identify the difference and what set i may have that
they specifically come from.
Thanks

Hi,
I recently bought a holder for trading cards, and it has a list of all the possible
cards (SW Series 2) with their numbers. Does it help if I add all the items to
the catalog? I have a few more where I will also add the images of the cards,
but in many cases, I won't.
Thanks,

Hello all, I've got several Toys R Us and Barnes & Noble build event sets
(May 4th promo events, etc). I don't see these sets in the Bricklink Catalog.
Is it possible to add those? (Can I submit them?) Or is this an area that
is not added to the catalog typically?

Thanks for your time!

I've submitted a load of stickered counterparts for set 75877, unfortunately
I'm missing the following four parts so can't take photographs (and needed
to add them to the database to make them easier to find for sale!). The others
have been approved but not sure what to do for these ones?

I feel like the axles are going to snap off of the 2X2 plates if I pull any herder
than I already am. Also, I've never seen a post with a tapered part at the
end like the chassis piece has. It seems a bit like those Bionicle brains and

I just came across of a set of 6 Legoland Sierksdorf postcards: 5 are showing
the German WM soccer team of 1974 on a visit a Legoland Sierksdorf (black and
white). The sixth one shows the entrance of Legoland Sierksdorf and on the back
there are autographs of the soccer team.

I only came twice across this set in a lot of years - add to the catalog as a
set or single?

Thanks for any advice

I think the sticker of part 4170pb01 for set 7745 is a little bit bigger, than
the sticker for set 7740. See image (below=7745; up=7740)

Quite a few of today's sets not only contain instructions (= booklets or
single sheets of paper) but also other paper items. These are included to promote
the product line or to provide information about what you can do with the set.
Currently there's no way to add these to a set inventory which means that
--as a seller-- you cannot sell a set as 'complete' until these
items are part of the catalogue inventory.

Example:
 
Set No: 41906  Name: Pencil Holder
* 
41906-1 (Inv) Pencil Holder
351 Parts, 2020
Sets: Dots
contains an instruction sheet https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?I=41906-1#T=S&O={%22ss%22:%22NL%22,%22rpp%22:%2250%22,%22iconly%22:0}
and a leaflet/flyer --whatever you want to call it-- with building ideas
and a product overview.

For the above set I added this paper sheet to the catalogue under number 6317480.
I can't add a link to this item in the form of p=xxxx or whatever because
it's not supported in the macro tags. See https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1147
Also: this item is nowhere linked to the sets in which it appears.

StormChaser approved it with the item number 'm20dots' and description
'2020 Mini Dots (6317480)'. BTW: I don't think this is very helpful.

I think we need a way to add those paper leaflets to the inventory of a set.
There are two ways to do this:
1. make items like this a part of the inventory or
2. extend the current set description [set entry | instructions entry | box
entry]
with '| other included items' or whatever you want
to call it.

Some takeaway observations so far.

Catalog is inconsistent in how it treats variants.
- Sometimes there is one ID number for two different designs.
-- Sometimes these design differences are noted, other times not
- Sometimes there is one ID number plus a letter (1234a, 1234b, etc.) indicating
different designs
- Sometimes there is one ID number plus "alternate numbers" for a single design
-- Sometimes these alternate ID numbers are the same design
-- Sometimes these alternate ID numbers are a different design

I would suggest that 48729 and 48729b are functionally different designs.
I would suggest that 48729b is actually 41005, and 41005 is a later variant of
48729b.

21 unique clip shapes to this point.

Some clip shape differences are obvious and others are subtle. Many probably
can't be distinguished by most people, even upon close examination. Through
the process of photographing these elements, and bringing the actual 6mm size
up to somewhere around 180mm these differences become more apparent.

So the differences are now cataloged and you can deal with them or not as you
see fit.

There's probably another page or two to come, but this is pretty slow going.

Hi

 
Part No: 4215pb003  Name: Panel 1 x 4 x 3 with Blue, Red and Silver Space Mechanical Pattern on Inside (Sticker) - Set 6949 (Undetermined Type)
* 
4215pb003 Panel 1 x 4 x 3 with Blue, Red and Silver Space Mechanical Pattern on Inside (Sticker) - Set 6949 (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Panel, Decorated
Marked for Deletion

I have this item with solid studs, so should be under 4215a

It is currently under 4215 which is undetermined.

Can anyone check the third picture - comes up too small for me, to see the studs

If they are solid, which I think they are, this wants re-assigning to a 4215a
number

Thanks

Seriously, what genius thought the best avatar brick in the catalog should be
white when the background is white too. So many hard to figure out bricks. Please
change all white avatar bricks to something more visible.

TLG is distributing general product flyers in sets within the same theme. For
example DOTS and Ninjago Arcade Pods. The flyers are all the same, so not specific
to a particular set.
Can I add those to the catalog? And where: book / gear / catalog / somewhere
else?

I apologize for the quick lo-res pic, but I think a lot of people are familiar
with this piece. It's the sprue from [p=19807c01]. And it IS just a sprue.
But I was looking it over today before tossing it in the trash and it is a pretty
neat looking piece AND it was obviously designed with some play value, because
it fits on a stud. It has never been used in a set, I believe, but it is easy
for me to imagine it being useful in MOCs. Would it be silly to add it to the
catalog?

The catalog has separate listing for parts 89652 & 60176, the only difference
being the open lower axle holes. For consistency shouldn't parts 89650 &
61053 have separate listings, they differ in the same way from each other.

Many thanks in advance

This is sort of akin to Number Six on your roadmap. I think.

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.

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

There are problems with these:

[P=41168c01]
[P=41168c02]
[P=41168c03]
[P=41168cx2]

Additionally, there are others not in the catalog. There are various problems
with images, part numbers, colors, inventories, titles, etc., etc.

Bored? Dive in and clean it up! Figure out what needs to be done and start
submitting the necessary requests/additions.

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

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?

So, what is the official policy for pieces with official Lego part numbers that
also have Bricklink numbers?

Such as:

bricklink: 98138pb023
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.

Hi all!

We are searching for the minifigure in the subject
Please, the next who submit a new SH minifigure use this code because in the
set 76147, that have three minifigures (sh617, sh618 and sh546), there aren't
no more new minifigures and that code had been skipped.

Many thanks!

set 40166 has a new counterpart in the minifig,

the darktan hair is different in about half of the sets i parted,

new partnumber that has to be added is, 25972 instead of 62810


tried changing it in the inventory (no luck since its a minifig entry) so cannot
use the inventory id of the part.

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,

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.
