Hello,

the item 6468 is according to the catalog 1x3x4. This seems correct with the
picture.
However, it is referenced as being used in item 6460. That is not correct with
the dimensions.
I post a picture of the window/door that fits 6460. You can clearly see it fits,
but has other dimensions as item 6468.

Hello,

It came to my attention that the following parts Pin006 & pin005 are only listed
in the color red. Although there are much more colors: green, blue, white, silver,
yellow and black. I hope these could be added!

Yours sincerely,
Hendrik Brands

Hi, I have a 1x2 plate that has a sticker on it, I have gone to list it and have
found that it is marked for deletion because the sticker was applied to the wrong
part.
I have got this model at home and also have the instructions for it. the sticker
has been applied to the correct part as it shows it clearly on the instructions.
Who do we contact in order to get the deletion cancelled?
Part number is 3023pb01, you can see clearly in the picture that the sticker
is applied to the 1x2 plate and not the mudguard.

Is there any way for me to view the weight/dimensions of a set from its catalog
entry in Imperial units (pounds/inches- ghastly, I know, but I live in America)?
I commonly use this when quoting shipping for a buyer so I don't have to
dig out a set every time someone asks, but it is always a little bit of hassle
to convert grams to pounds and cm to inches.

Hey, I'm trying to help with the 21159 set, but it would be my first inventory
job, so I'm hitting a block early on.

It looks like the set has one of those:

 
Part No: minesheep04  Name: Minecraft Sheep, Red, Sheared - Brick Built
* 
minesheep04 (Inv) Minecraft Sheep, Red, Sheared - Brick Built
Parts: Animal, Land

but in white. Meanwhile, the name "Minecraft Sheep, White - Brick Built" is already
taken by:

 
Part No: minesheep01  Name: Minecraft Sheep, White, Plate 2 x 2 on Back - Brick Built
* 
minesheep01 (Inv) Minecraft Sheep, White, Plate 2 x 2 on Back - Brick Built
Parts: Animal, Land

which has a different build (plates instead of brick). What to do, I wonder?

Happy day The time that is spent differentiating between mold variants is
certainly not worth it money-wise, but worth it in other ways.

A customer purchased some classic 2555's. Apparently we still sent two different
variants to him. Sure, most of the older parts have various mini-differences,
just never thought anyone would actually care about getting a specific variant.
Either way, I was not aware of this particular difference.

Our customer described it as 'The wider ones and the narrower ones' and
sent us a picture, circling the different variants. A bit hard to see, I am attaching
one more.

The difference itself is in the sharpness of the outside/inside edges - the very
tops the clips. Principally kind of similar to the difference between classic
and modern 2555, except much more subtle. Difficult to judge if looking at the
edge itself, but becomes easy when comparing from the top view. At least when
you have two pieces to compare

The left one has, call it, completely sharp edge. The right one has a slight
roundness to it. That rounding comes at a cost of reducing the top surface area
of the clip.

Complete list of the differences between the two:

The 'flat top' type:
* Sharper edge / bigger top surface area of the clip
* mold pip on a side
* now looking from yet another side, the sidewall of the clip is completely straight
in all dimensions - does not get narrower towards the top and forms a straight
rectangle (the last picture)

The 'slightly slightly rounded top'
* Slightly rounded top edge of the clip, reduced flat surface area of the top
* mold pip at the bottom
* sidewall is of slightly concave shape - forms a trapezoid

Some more differences, but only concerns the construction of the mold and the
ejection pins placement.


Question(s).
1 - How many of you have/have not noticed this particular difference before?
Curious.

2 - any other different classic 2555s than these two?

Hi
Just wondering whether this is a different catalog number for torsos with no
clutch or would I need to mention this in my listing?
Thanks
Stay safe everyone

Hi!
I am just starting to get into MOCs. Can anyone tell me what pieces they use
to hold up the flags?

Thanks so much!

Part No: 981982pb038  Name: Arm, (Matching Left and Right) Pair with Molded Light Aqua Short Sleeves Pattern
* 
981982pb038 (Inv) Arm, (Matching Left and Right) Pair with Molded Light Aqua Short Sleeves Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Body Part

For the catalog project Figure Part Changes, number 1 on the in progress list
(https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476#ProjectsInProgress), I just noted
a significant difference between Bricklink and LDraw - used as a source for Studio
parts.

LDraw (and thus Studio if it were to include these parts) has the dual molded
arms with fixed color lower arms - currently only yellow and light flesh in their
database. (https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptscan.cgi?q=arm+right+lower+arm+pattern&scope=description)

Bricklink has the dual molded arms with fixed color upper arms - hence a plethora
of colors. (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=arm%20short%20sleeves%20pattern)

The choice is of course arbitrary, but during this catalog project, would it
be wise to adapt to LDraw's (and thus Studio's) choice?

Except for the coloring, is there any difference between [p=62575cx1] and
 
Part No: 23714  Name: Ant
* 
23714 Ant
Parts: Animal, Land
?

Also, how do we go about numbering in such a case in general? 62575 is the LEGO
design number for the marbled version, 23714 for the plain version. Is the former
really seen as an assembly (cx1)?

I would suggest 62575cx1 renumbered to 23714pb01 and 62575 listed as an alternative
number. Before making such a request, I'd like to be sure about any differences
and guide lines.

And yes, Robert, I know the catalog team has different priorities right now,
but this one just came up and I wonder.
