Should dual molded legs or arms in their respective assemblies really be considered
as decorated?
To me BL considered the decorated as by means of printing or applying decoration
using stickers.

example
 
Part No: 970c00pb0970  Name: Hips and Legs with Molded Dark Orange Lower Legs / Boots  Pattern
* 
970c00pb0970 Hips and Legs with Molded Dark Orange Lower Legs / Boots Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Decorated

the reasoning is, how is that any different from legs assembly with single color
legs but different color hips or mismatched leg colors?
 
Part No: 970d46  Name: Hips and 1 Medium Azure Left Leg, 1 Bright Light Orange Right Leg
* 
970d46 (Inv) Hips and 1 Medium Azure Left Leg, 1 Bright Light Orange Right Leg
Parts: Minifigure, Legs

I feel the same way about dual molded arms
 
Part No: 973c83  Name: Torso Plain / Yellow Arms with Molded Green Short Sleeves Pattern / Yellow Hands
* 
973c83 (Inv) Torso Plain / Yellow Arms with Molded Green Short Sleeves Pattern / Yellow Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

There are reasons for not separating them, mainly for new buyers not knowing
or caring about the difference or just the general way of looking at it, but
I feel like there is no real definition for the term decorated that should be
defined. As far I am concerned, dual color molding is not really decorating.

Any thoughts?

Does anyone know why Brick Modified 1 x 2 x 2/3 No Studs, Wing End is
so expensive?? It's in more than 100 sets and I feel like it's quite
common. I came across several stores selling it for $1, even $2.

Hello, I would like clarification on the 5306bc electric, wire and connector.
The number next to it corresponds to the length of the cable, or is it the length
of the cable and the brick (for example 5306bc026) ?
Thank you for your answers.
Best regards,
Joel

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,

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

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.

I have had some issues with items not having size dimensions (particularly for
newer items - come up as 0x0x0 or ?x?x?).

This has caused me problems with instant checkout because even though there are
no dimensions it is not forcing a quote request (which is what I thought should
happen).

Anyone have any similar experiences or suggestions for a fix (Admins?)

Thanks in advance

Hello, I am new here and I have a problem with part 3002, since I have two parts
of this color that I do not know very well how to classify. Let's see if
someone knows how to tell me what color it is? to me it looks blue-purple.
Thanks in advance

I've just added [P=4867pb24] in hope that it will be accepted. Here's
a photo of the set. It's not mine, so I can't prove anything about it.
The building instructions are generic.

I notice the head of the Fright Knight from CMF S19 is listed as female. Has
LEGO ever confirmed that this character is meant to be female? I couldn't
find the online bios like they used to do.

Thanks to new functionality from BrickLink we've added hundreds of large,
high-quality additional images for City sets during the past three weeks. These
images are now available for most City sets from 2010-2020.

The actual set images weren't updated, unfortunately, but the additional
images are amazing. I've included representative samples from each year
below. The additional images can be viewed by clicking on any set image, but
the set entry must be visited to zoom in and appreciate the true image quality.

How long does it usually take for item to be finally added to Catalog when it
is in "Pending" status? I tried to add a few items released in 2020 in my store
but I didn't find them in Catalog. When I tried to add an item I got notified
that this item is already in Catalog but pending approval. It's been a week
now since my attempt and items still not there.

We're considering the possibility of updating the page defining item types
on June 1st when we add the new category definitions.

Please take a look at the difference between the existing page:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=170

and the proposed update:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2487

Are there any items in the catalog that still aren't addressed by the new
page? Put differently, what can you find in the catalog for which classification
by item type is still unclear when going by the definitions on the new page?

On the definition for figures: yes, I know that is very vague and could need
work.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

If I have this part in hands, plate modified 1x2 with 1 stud jumper undetermined
bottom type.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3794#T=C

What does this means when selling this piece? Is it the lazy way of selling this
piece, or the way to sell it if you do not know the differences?
Is it the sort of term I can use when I do not know if it has a groove or not,
does or does not have a bottom stud holder?

In fact, if I sell a part like this, does it means I sell it in the way: I don’t
know, buy it an expect 1 of the 3 different types that are mentioned as related
items?

If not the above mentioned, what does this type of modifies plate looks like?

What can a buyer expect when they buy it?

Why aren't there separate catalog entries for the US vs. Foreign instructions
on set entries? They have different id codes printed on them. Lego differentiates
between them if you are reprinting them.

Print Versions
Building instructions labeled "NA" or "V39" may be printed on US standard letter
size paper
Building instructions labeled "IN" or "V29" may be printed on EU standard A4
paper

Project number 8 from the Catalog Roadmap: Torso and Leg Assemblies Categories
Split

This has now been completed

The legs categories have just been done so although they show up in the main
list of categories they will not show as a separate category in storefronts until
the daily maintenance later.

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P

The torsos were completed a few days ago so are already showing up correctly
in stores.

Hopefully that will make it easier for yoy when browsing the categories or looking
for non decorated parts when searching or listing parts for sale.

Paul.

(still remains project number 8 - I'll edit the page shortly)

I hear that it's now possible to locate brick-built creatures in the catalog
simply by searching for "brick built." I don't know how helpful that will
be, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Minifigures: Collectible Minifigures: Series 16 Minifigures

I remember the first time I came across this figure, I searched "devil" and nothing
came up in the search because the figure name back then was...

"Imp - Minifigure only Entry"

So I thought, "well, I wouldn't call it an "Imp" but I'll remember that
going forward"

Then, I encountered it again more recently and searched "Imp" only to find no
results again because the figure name is now...

"Cute Little Devil - Minifigure only Entry"

When making a change to an item name, can the old name be left as part of the
name when possible/ feasible so that users can find a figure/part that they took
the time to memorize?

Howdy folks, I'm looking for some info.

Like many others I have taken the self-isolation as an opportunity to go through
my LEGO storage. I have come across an oddity. LEGO released the Master Builder
Academy line back around 2011. Originally it could only be found in the USA
so I would pick up the latest sets as I found them on vacation. Somehow I managed
to buy the first set 20200: Space designer, twice. The thing is, they are in
two totally different boxes. Both are sealed, same parts count, same name.
But the box art is vastly different. I'm curious if there is a rarity to
one vs the other or do they essentially have equal value?

Anyone out there familiar with this variation?

Cheers,
Stephen

There are four variations, well indeed five

The four variations I gave have hollow studs.
1) extended lip, fixed glass
2) extended lip, removable glass
3) short lip, removable glass,
4) short lip, no glass (the part above but without glass)

How do we name these variations and what Id should we use for them?

I see that only the random fig and the complete set of 16 entries are pending
approval.

I have nearly a whole box of this series so I was going to work on adding the
set entries and images unless someone else is already at work on it. I'm
hoping to list a bunch of the extras as soon as they are approved (hopefully
tomorrow on the release date...fingers crossed

There are are better photographers than me out there but I can certainly get
a decent image if no one else is working on them.

Part No: 768  Name: Technic, Gearbox 2 x 4 x 3
* 
768 Technic, Gearbox 2 x 4 x 3

The member says the gear ratio is 20:1, not 24:1. We'd appreciate input
from anyone with knowledge of this part.

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but is there a possibility to have
more options for listing used items? For example, I was shopping around for a
few hard to find, relatively expensive minifigs and in searching I notice from
lowest price to highest the Used ones of course are usually listed first, and
I appreciate sellers putting descriptions to help out, but most listings under
Used simply don't have more details. Especially if we are all using stock
photos, it's hard to discern between used minifigs when all have the same
stock photo and just listed under "used." Honestly, I just don't take a chance
on those and look for used with a description that has "like new" or "adult owner,
never played with" "displayed only" "great condition." etc.

Again, sellers have to type in those descriptions, but can there be options such
as "used - like new" "used - heavy playwear" etc. to give more accurate listings?
I guess a store's front page can be a good place to generally describe your
items too. Just a thought and if it's easier like it is then so be it and
I will advise sellers to try to give good descriptions for used expensive items

Some time ago I crated this
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1085264
as I heard from some users it was helpful.

So today I wanted to present to Bricklink community updated version.

This is the first try of making video tutorial for Bricklink. I decided to create
tutorial about stickered counterparts as they are freqently problematic for users
how
to add them.

There are two parts of the

part 1
shows how to submit such part to the catalog (ca.20 min long)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JqkgN1IsqB_hBGn_Vh61Pb4YqwUiTtLp

part 2
shows how to add such part to an existing inventory (ca. 4 min long)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1---YraPzshF26aTdR9CiPi-TVqdyTIsU

I hope they will be helpful.

Please share yout thought about them. Do you like them? Are they helpful? Do
you want more, if yes about what?

or maybe you don't like then and they are not needed.

I know first one is quite a long (20 min) but wanted to slowly and thoroughly
show process on two examples from one set and even there I didn't showed
or possible cases (so wideo could be longer )
So are such long videos are ok or should be shorter.

All inputs are appreciated. We can do more in that way if needed.

the current description includes the word "flat" but this tire has tread
the current description does NOT include size, as most tires do

the tire itself DOES have the part number on it, so I know I'm addressing
the correct tire

thanks

As part of the larger roadmap project of updating catalog guidelines, we anticipate
making this page official on or before June 1st, 2020:

Your feedback is critically important. Once this page is official we will be
open to moving items from one category to another as necessary. The implementation
of these category definitions will also allow the launch of the Part Reclassifications
project from the roadmap.

Please take the time to look over this page and provide feedback. We are open
right now to changing anything on the page and will carefully consider all feedback.

This page is not fully finished and will be undergoing continual revisions between
now and the time it's implemented. Some questions to consider as you look
through the page:

Do the definitions do their job?

Imagine a part you'd like to see placed into another category. Do the definitions
of the existing category for the part and the category where you'd like to
see the part moved fully explain the necessity for the move?

Is the page structured well?

We are working on a heading that will allow quick navigation to each section.
It will be added soon. Beyond that, is the page confusing or difficult to understand?

Will this page solve problems or add to them?

This page will affect the future direction of the catalog to some degree. Will
it be a positive or negative effect? Will this page help to resolve problems
regarding where items should go?

Keep in mind that this page does not address item types (sets vs. gear, for example).
That will be a separate update. For now we're just trying to define what
existing categories should contain.

Thanks for your feedback in private messages guys

Bricklink recently moved all torsos with pattern into a new category, which resulted
in avsearch not finding them.

I've fixed it now by adding an option for plain/decorated torsos. Enjoy:
http://avbricks.no/#/avSearch

avSearch is based on goatleg by 62Bricks with some additional input from mfav.

For your information, the new nougat colors are not yet fixed, but I am aware
of the issue.

I'm considering to take my store from being a hobby into something more,
and would love to get some feedback. I am planning to find out how much it costs(how
many hours) to sort and register used-bulk-lots. Did anyone measure or research
how much time you spend to sort bulk lego, and what is the best strategy? My
current strategy is:

1) sort everything into 10 self-made categories
2) sort each category into specific pieces or narrower categories
3) repeat previous step until everything is sorted by specific pieces
4) sort each specific piece by color
5) Add to my inventory.

I plan to check kg/minute speed for each of my steps.

I noticed that Minifigure torsos have now been split up into decorated and plain,
which is pretty handy. Is more subdividing on the way with other categories like
legs? I always have a hard time finding the right pair of plain legs.

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??

Hi
I just discovered, that I'm in possess of drum with sticker from set 558,
not 6361.
I compared both stickers and they are different. Please create new counter part
number for 37037 part.

Sebastian

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
