i did the set twice and was left with 2 extra pins. With 55 used in the set, this would make more sense to have 2 extra included

I watched three speed builds from sealed set contents, and they all showed two
extra pins. Request accepted.

| | I have been checking my son's Technic collection for completeness etc, and
have come across some Technic stickered assembly items, which are not in the
catalogue under the counterparts section.
Is there a reason for this, or is it simply no-one has been brave enough to
do it?
I don't mind having a go and try and get them entered, but I am not very
good with coming up with good accurate descriptions for the stickers. If it
was a plain number, I'd be fine, but when it comes to a SW figure, I don't
wish to describe it as one thing and upset the SW fans who know it should be
something else.
Also is there a limit to the number of characters you can put into a description?
As some Technic entry's are quite long before anything else is added.
See the photos for the items which I am referring to.
Any help/advise I would be most grateful for.
|
I noticed when I was working on a similar project that yes, the counterparts
were missing to some of the older, smaller, technic sets.
I think just no one has bothered to work on it.

I think this is a mistake.
Or the parts were replaced with parts with the color Light Gray (in the used
set). Or the parts are yellowed with time (if the set was sealed).

Jon only parts out brand new sets that have never been opened. If he found light
gray parts, he found light gray parts.

3894, 3702, 3703, 56145), then we will see that LEGO did not use this color after

But in the end I have 3 bits left...
2x 3024 Yellow Plate 1 x 1

Looked at the instructions a couple of times now and I just can't figure

If you’re “bricklinking” the set.
And it also depends on your value of “good enough”: Do you trace all the parts,
asserting they came from boxes the siblings of the set you’re bricklinking?

real meaning do the words "historically accurate" or "period-specific" even have?

There’s the same thing with cars: there are the “only original parts,” the “we
replaced some parts with others from the same manufacturer and period,” and the
“we used some 3D-printed parts” and so on. And some parts (chassis, engine…)
are more important than others (belts) and even on some important parts, some
modifications are allowed without removing value (remove rusted parts of the
body, weld some new bits).
There’s the same thing with all collectible items.
And the “meaning” of “historically accurate” or “period-specific” is not binary
(is / isn’t), it’s, like about every word, a gradation of what people agree it
is.
It can be discussed precisely, generally between a seller and a buyer, to translate
it in monetary value, but it’ll still be generally fuzzy.

I do not have a large personal collection of LEGO parts. I looked through my
parts collection recently to create the attached image of the variants in molded
printing (which BL doesn't even distinguish) for just one part. And I missed
including one in the photo, by the way.
Each part in the photo shows a distinct and separate variant of molded printing,
with the second from the top having none at all. And my rough estimate at this
point is that at least two thirds of all parts have actual mold variants, while
most parts in production for more than a couple years probably have one or many
molded printing variants.

real meaning do the words "historically accurate" or "period-specific" even have?

I think I've figured out that, in addition to the other problems with variants,
BrickLink perpetuates the somewhat delusional thinking of pride in owning a period-specific
set.
Only if every single variant was thoroughly documented and also documented to
have appeared in that set could you say that your copy of a set is historically
accurate. And considering that many (if not most or all) parts have variants,
chasing those phantoms might become rather nonsensical at some point.

Don't know about the delusion so much, but I would be pretty ticked off if
somebody sold me a so-called used complete at $1 000 and it included
a bunch of modern cheap variants. Or worse still some early space sets with
the wrong clips, and LBG and DBG parts. It is all relative - someone like me
prefer to deal ith the correct thing at the correct time and I am prepared to
invest the time and effort in it. From experience with return buyers, I know
I am not alone. And yes, I've had buyers ask me to check pips, pins, hole
sizes, clips and mold numbers and send images prior to shipping and also to make
sure the variants and colour differences are correct. Of course I've also
had buyers who just do not care.
I personally would not go as far as to mention closed and open pins and combinations
thereof, but I find for the serious buyer it pays to find serious sellers, catalogue
failings notwithstanding

Er, not exactly.
One’s owning the set since it was bought sealed and never having mixed its parts
allows one to say one’s copy is historically accurate.
Or any certified track of the set and its parts from the time it was bought sealed
allows the latest owner to say their copy is historically accurate.
So even if BL’s catalogue didn’t exist, one could still be proud of owning a
period-specific set.

And the one who discovers a variant can’t even have the ego-boost of the variant
being named after them.

| I have been checking my son's Technic collection for completeness etc, and
have come across some Technic stickered assembly items, which are not in the
catalogue under the counterparts section.
Is there a reason for this, or is it simply no-one has been brave enough to
do it?
I don't mind having a go and try and get them entered, but I am not very
good with coming up with good accurate descriptions for the stickers. If it
was a plain number, I'd be fine, but when it comes to a SW figure, I don't
wish to describe it as one thing and upset the SW fans who know it should be
something else.
Also is there a limit to the number of characters you can put into a description?
As some Technic entry's are quite long before anything else is added.
See the photos for the items which I am referring to.
Any help/advise I would be most grateful for.
Thanking you all.

Comments from Submitter:
Upon verifying this set, it appears that there is an alternate head type with is "recessed/closed" and not "blocked/open". Unless this variance should create no concern, a note should be made that this item contains a head variant. A note should also be made to col084, as the minifigure in 853600 could be confused with the original. Or, a new catalog entry should be made for the variant head.

The new head should be added to the catalog first and can then be added as an
alternate to this magnet set.

I've uploaded a face shot of this part. I have the "recessed" stud image,
but it replaces the face shot, so here is the stud image.

Comments from Submitter:
The white flags were added as alternates because of the following change request:

The submitter of that request now confirmed that the set with sticker sheet came with a printed small flag:

So I suggest to remove the plain white flag here since there is no evidence yet that it was ever inclueded in this set.

Russell, how is it with dimensions of minifigures? I had often an order for 1

there are no dimensions for them, and you can imagine, that you cannot send them

I think you are a bit mistaken here.
But it depends on when you printed both orders. Did you do that after both orders
came in, or did you print the first one before the second one came in?
I think the first.
BL shows the remaining inventory at the time you open that order, not how much
it is after that 1 order, but how it will be after all open orders have been
gathered form inventory.
In other words, after gathering both orders, how many of those 2x2 tiles do you
really have left. I think when you count them, there will be 48.

From the manual, there is no blue hose with 10 stud lenght. There is not 2 10L and 2 11L but just 4 11L.

I parted this set out some 16 months ago and have so far been unable to sell

that are 32 ribs long and 2 that are 35 ribs long.

If you go through the instuction manual you can see that the purple color is
only for silver hoses and not blue ones. I bought missing parts for this set
and all 10L were too short.
|
I agree with you. The instructions show that all of the blue hoses designated
by the light blue dot should be the same length. The length definitely looks
like it should be about 11L. Your requests have been accepted.
Cheers,

Huh? The original inventory had the book and put in what he put in and what
I got out of a sealed set matched what he said. I have definite continuity on
the pieces in question.
|
These hoses are notorious for being up to 1L off in length in either direction.
I have plenty of sets where hoses are supposed to be the same length in a set
and one will be different and make the build look funny.
The lengths of the flat silver hoses in the inventory were confirmed by the LEGO
replacement parts website, but the blue hoses in the inventory are not listed
there to help confirm them. In this case, I have to use my knowledge of these
parts along with what the instructions show for the build.
I know the sealed set contents have hoses that differ slightly in length (32-35
ribs), but according to the instructions, the four hoses are all supposed to
be the same size. Knowing that these hoses can vary slightly (and yours do),
I believe it is better to have them in the inventory this way to make sure the
build can be constructed as shown with hoses of all the same length.
Cheers,
Randy

Yep. These changes were based off of a sealed set that was opened by a well-known
contributor to the BrickLink catalog. This is why we don't make decisions
based on the instructions alone (unless the instructions are all that we have).
This request will not be accepted.

could Bricklink create to help designers, and buyers keep track of the parts
they need.

If you are just building a single model, then the easiest way to buy the parts
is to upload it to your wanted list and use the easy buy feature to buy all the
parts at once. Since you already have some of the parts, you can update the "have"
quantity in your wanted list to avoid buying parts that you already have.

super easy while being in the process of building a design, and sticking to a

so I cannot say if this feature already exists or not. Given that I am trying
to keep my build a secret, to a point, I did not use the "upload" feature, thinking
it may reveal my design.
|
If you upload a .lxf file to your wanted list, no one sees the design.
| | The thing is, it would be handy to see the history in how many specific parts
I have purchased in total. This feature could then break down where I purchased
these parts, and allow me to add, and see the notes I left for myself for each
store. To make it extra easy, these parts could then be categorized under the
set's design each creator have made, keeping them a secret until after their
reveal.
|
I agree that this would be a nice feature. I would like it if BrickLink automatically
added all the parts that you ordered to your stockroom inventory and autofilled
the "my cost" attribute with the price that you paid. That way you could easily
calculate the exact cost of a MOC and if you accidentally order too much of a
particular part and decide to sell the leftovers, you can easily determine a
fair price. I would also like it if BrickLink automatically applied your inventory
to the "have" quantity in your wanted list so that you do not have to update
it manually and apply each order individually. Finally, it would be nice to have
the ability to "part out" a MOC based on a given parts list and to "part in"
again if you decide to take it apart and build something else. This last feature
is already supported by BrickLink MOC Shop (moc.bricklink.com), but you have
to publish your design, which means that it can be seen by anyone and that it
has to be approved by BrickLink, and from what I've heard BrickLink has stopped
approving MOCs on MOC Shop.
| | Perhaps I am over thinking things? Perhaps not?
|
Definitely not. These are features that I have wanted for quite some time. I
even tried to write a software program in high school to do all this and more,
but that was before the easy buy feature was introduced. Easy buy has made purchasing
all of the parts for a MOC easy enough that writing a software program from scratch
is no longer justified. But if you have computer programming skills, you can
do it yourself.

4543a is the older part, so it should be the regular and 4543 the alternate.
I'm not convinced that there are alternates for this part, but actually 4543a
is THE only variant for this set. Has anyone ever seen 4345 in this set? The
inventory for this set has no source, and I have seen no images of this set with
4345.

It does: Want | Upload accepts LDD, LDraw, Studio, or BrickStock formats (file
upload), or BL’s XML format (paste).

|
‘Want | Upload’ only uploads to a Wanted List.
There’s absolutely no reasons for BL to keep the temporarily uploaded design.
If you’re really frightened for your Super Duper model, you can always dismantle
your design (move all its parts haphazardly) before uploading it.
‘Want | Upload’’s totally unrelated to Studio’s “Gallery.”
Besides, even in Studio, there’s a Wanted List upload that doesn’t upload the
whole design, only the parts.
As for the rest, what you want is an inventory system for buyers.
There are many suggestions for this already….
Have been for years….

| This has been a problem forever. I have a wanted list named "On Order" that
I move parts to as they are purchased. Once they are received and determined
to be in acceptable condition, they are removed from the On Order waiting list.
Better data design and programming would have avoided this mess.

From used set images and from peeron.com, the string looks thicker than

Since there is not a catalog entry for medium thickness string with a length
over 300cm, a new entry would need to be added to the catalog for this string.
Make sure you measure the string as accurately as possible. Peeron.com has a
length for this string of 450cm, so 500cm may not be right.
Since the change request is currently incorrect, these requests will not be accepted.
If you do add the string to the catalog, you can then make the correct request

The left one is light gray for sure, the right one isn't light bluish gray
or dark gray or flat silver. So could also light gray in a different variation?
Thanks!

Comments from Submitter:
From the manual, there is no blue hose with 10 stud lenght. There is not 2 10L and 2 11L but just 4 11L.
|
I parted this set out some 16 months ago and have so far been unable to sell
the ribbed hoses. Maybe my price is too high. But I have from this set 2 hoses
that are 32 ribs long and 2 that are 35 ribs long.
|
If you go through the instuction manual you can see that the purple color is
only for silver hoses and not blue ones. I bought missing parts for this set
and all 10L were too short.

I realize that this doesn't cover all the points in your suggestion but here
is the most recent response from Admin about this issue:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1197156
It is quite a bit more than we have received in the recent past, so I am hopeful
that more positive and constructive changes are on the way. I do also hope they
develop a communication system to let us know of upcoming changes.
Take care,
Jen

| Hi
I have been buying and selling on BrickLink for nearly 10 years now and although
it can be a bit clunky it does the job of bringing buyers and sellers together
but just recently changes have been made that have caused problems for buyers
and sellers alike due to lack of communication from those making the changes,
I have listed 2 that have affected me and my buyers int the last week or so.
1) The change to the way the order and payment status works was a complete surprise
and took me a good 30 minutes to work out what was going on (not everyone has
my analytical ability to work this out).
2) The email sent out to buyers when a seller is short of parts (i.e. Problem
with Item in Order), has been made less useful as the link that used to be there
to help buyers 'approve' removal of item(s) is no longer given (yes the
email looks nicer but it is as good as useless). Because I wasn't aware
of this change I chased a buyer saying there was a link in the email which made
me look like I didn't know what I was doing.
I have been working in IT for 40 years and it is recognised good practice to
send out a 'release note' to all users (post it on the site somewhere
and email everyone a link) detailing key changes that are going to be made in
the next release (before the event) so everyone knows and can prepare accordingly.
Please don't say this doesn't apply to 'apps' or Internet based
systems because some of the best sites do this (e.g. www.mid.as).
BrickLink relies on the income provided by it's buyers ordering parts and
sellers paying commission, if you don't communicate properly you risk buyers
and sellers going elsewhere, which would be a big shame.
Please keep us all better informed so we can service our customers properly and
support you all at BrickLink to continue to proved an otherwise great site.
I would appreciate a constructive response from admin to this message
Thanks

In my childhood collection, I have only ever had three of these kind of hoses,
from set and , and those hoses were never replaced or mixed
with other collections. I've attached pictures of all three, and they're
all very close to 10 cm long (which means that the 9.6 cm stated for this part
is actually not precise).
So has actually ever been confirmed in set 6980? It only seems to
exist in black for this set, and judging by the current amount for sale (14),
this part may not exist (taking into account that some hoses may have been shortened
or measured/inventoried wrong).
/Jan

I checked my set and I also have a hose that ca. 10 cm. It's possible that
the person who added the 10L hose thought that 10L meant 10 cm. The hose was
added to this inventory before the length in cm was added to the name of the
hose.
|
The hose in my copy of the set is 77mm (slightly under 10 studs) in length.
There is no way to know if it's been cut down at some point, of course.

Comments from Submitter:
Upon verifying this set, it appears that there is an alternate head type with is "recessed/closed" and not "blocked/open". Unless this variance should create no concern, a note should be made that this item contains a head variant. A note should also be made to col084, as the minifigure in 853600 could be confused with the original. Or, a new catalog entry should be made for the variant head.
|
The new head should be added to the catalog first and can then be added as an
alternate to this magnet set.
|
I've added it to the catalog and will get some pictures together to upload
today.

The one plate that looks different than all of the other plates is brown. All
of the other plates are reddish brown. They are two different colors. Brown is
the pre-2004 color, and reddish brown is the post-2004 color that replaced brown.
If you sent the buyer reddish brown plates and they were expecting brown plates,
then you are unfortunately wrong.
