I may have missed a discussion but was there a specific reason why all the big
figures have been renamed as "Big Figure - NAME"

e.g.
 
Minifig No: sh414  Name: Bane
* 
sh414 (Inv) Bane
Minifigures: Super Heroes: The LEGO Batman Movie
 
Minifig No: sw0402  Name: Jabba The Hutt - Tan Face
* 
sw0402 (Inv) Jabba The Hutt - Tan Face
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

Would it not have been better to be "NAME (Big Figure)" so that they still appear
in the correct alphabetic order in their respective categories?

I'm new to the Bricklink ecosystem, including selling. I've gotten the
Store API up and running to help drive my personal inventory software and replace
the Rebrickable API I've been using up until now. Because Bricklink maintains
records for parts with sticker and for assembled minifigs this switch is critical
for me.

However I'm running into one roadblock - how to programmatically download
the full Part List and Set List. I see in the API docs that the only Lists I
can access are colors and categories. But for items I seem to need to specify
the item number.

I have manually downloaded part list and set list from the Downloads page but
I can't figure out how to do that using code.

I've noticed that the program BrickStock updates its database automatically
which makes me think it's possible to do. Is it?

Please help. I don’t understand the apparent randomness of the abbreviated naming
rules for minifigures. I collect DC superheroes - specifically anything in a
Batman set. Back many years ago Batman Sh016 had a type 1 cowl. Shortly after
Lego released a type 2 cowl variant and this entered the catalogue as Sh016b.
And now in 2019 as part of the Gotham comic con scene and a magazine exclusive
they release With a sponge cape and this is now Sh016b. This is inconsistent
with other naming conventions. Which is right? For example the first repeat
in the Batman theme was the riddler Bat017. Then he got released with a jet
pack but identical figure and that was Bat023. So should the same figure but
with an accessory variant be a brand new number in the theme or should it be
an a/bc??

Hello

Question, about adding some additnal change on a minifig in a set.

I'm starting to sell some old sets, in this case 2 sets of 7171.

I have seen that in both sets minifig SW0017 doesn't have DG color hips but
LG Hips.

Both Sets are original with boxes en inner boxes.
So the first one I didn't understand why Jar Jar had different color legs;
but on parting out the 2nd the same color so my guess is that Jar Jar SW0017
also
can have LG hips.

How to proof or change/add to the part list as adittional minifig?

Thanks & Keep Safe

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
Todd

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,
Tamas
