We are currently looking to get larger / better images directly from the LEGO

Wow! That's great to hear!

I really love how this image looks. How can we get more updated images of classic
sets. I have several that I have been taking lately that I would be glad to
offer if needed.

Don't expect any changes to this part of the site's functionality soon.
You'll have to learn how to make best of what already is there. I think maybe
you might benefit from:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&viewImg=Y&sortBy=D&sortAsc=D&catType=P&v=1
found halfway down https://www.bricklink.com/catalog.asp
Otherwise, for the task you have set yourself, you might be better of with sites
like NewElementary or Brickset. Bricklink's primary focus is to have a catalog
for selling purposes.
The year of release associated with part-color-combinations stems only from what
is listed in inventories. Information like a hiatus in production is not directly
available on Bricklink. You would need to breakdown the inventories to the source
of each part manually. You can use the catalog item relation pages like https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3008&colorID=39&in=A
to find the sets a specific colored part comes in, and https://www.bricklink.com/catalogDownload.asp
to get a reference list for all sets including their year of release.

I believe that assemblies are not only made for pre-assembled parts in sets.

Parts: Wheel |
This part is even easier to disassemble than the hinges, and have no risk of
inducing stress marks.

All wheel assemblies are automatically approved if they are assembled as such
in the instructions.
For the larger hinges, that may present a problem. I would not put any work into
photos, etc unless you know for sure we are going to take them. If I had to make
a decision now, I would say no, but with more time we might come up with a good
reason for them.

There are no guidelines at the moment for part assemblies, just as there are
no guidelines for part variants. If you're asking for suggestions, I would
suggest waiting until we have updated guidelines in place before submitting these
parts as assemblies.
Our goal is to have the guidelines fully updated by the end of the year. As
of this moment we have 18 out of 27 updated and only have 9 left to complete.
All of that work has occurred since February, 2020.

The intention of the recent update to this page:

was to clarify situations like this. Take a look and see if it does.
If it doesn't, then please offer suggestions on improving the standards so

I have an original helmet from 1999 and it is fur sure the left variant, so that's
definitly not a new mold. I would also say that most if not all images here show
the left variant:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=30368&in=M
And regarding the reintroduction of the old helmet in set 75261, the designers
said that the old mold was still available:
https://www.brothers-brick.com/2019/04/09/interview-with-lego-star-wars-designers-jens-kronvold-and-kurt-kristiansen-feature/
So I am wondering: Where did you find the right variant and are you sure it is
a genuine LEGO part?
|
I agree with Jonas.
Your "old" mold on right is suspicious. I just take a look on my Vaders from
different years and in all I have left helmet with narrow nose so your "new"
mold. And there is only one diffrence between oldest and newer Vader halmets
from this mold (later on this).
For this post I just took 4 representants from different years.
1) First one is
years 1999-2003
My minfigure on images is from 2002 set.
2) Second one is
years 2009-2016
My minfigure on images is from 2011 set.
3) Third one is
this ony came onluy in 2014 advent calendar.
4) fourth one
the newest one from 2019 anniversary set.
and as you can see all of them have identical narrow nose just like "new one"
from your photo.
The only change is that somwhere in timeline LEGO started to add molded number
on this helmet and LEGO logo. Oldest ones don't have mold number and LEGO
logo. It is visible on images. But with mold number this helmet was already in
2014 advent calendar set and this helmet is identical with 2019 helmet.
btw LEGO has for this part only one mold number and one PCC
https://brickset.com/parts/design-30368
I also check that in this Vader from 2013
helmet is also already with mold number on it. (and it is of course identical
with 2019 one). I couldn't track for now when LEGO have started to molding
part number on this helmet. But beside this only difference oldest helmet without
part number are identical with newer ones with part number.

Try:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp
For dark turqoise you mentioned, scroll down to that colour, click on the sets
link and sort by year:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=5&pg=1&colorInSet=39&catType=S
For parts, click on the parts link on that colours page, then sort by year again:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=5&pg=1&colorPart=39&catType=P
You can also just view of all of the technic parts by going to:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogSearch.asp
Selecting "parts" for item type, "technic" for the Category and the colour you
want from the drop down list. I'm afraid though I do not know how to select
multiple categories, so I have to do it for axles, pins, links, panels etc as
a search each time. Probably why I prefer to just use the colour page and sort
by category if that is what is needed:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=3&pg=1&colorPart=39&catType=P
then click on the specific categories I need. There might be an easier method
lurking somewhere.

| This is what I got after I sent in a dimensions change for the robot body part:
| | Do I have to put in a change for all three variants?
|
No, the dimensions changes wouldn't be accepted for any of them because this
part has non-standard dimensions.
| | The reason I put the dimensions in for this one was that I had a sale and the dimensions made it want to go as a package instead of meeting the dimensions of our lettermail. I guess I’ll have to change the dimensions for my own inventory.
|
I'm sorry that our dimensions are so confusing. We will be working on improving
them this year. I'll try to explain how packaging dimensions work. There
is a hidden field for each catalog entry that contains packaging dimensions and
these are used to calculate instant checkout.
The stud-size dimensions you see (2 x 2 x 2, in this case) are not used for packaging
dimensions. And stud-size dimensions themselves are in a mess. There are 28,000+
parts missing stud-size dimensions altogether.
But that's another issue. If you need packaging dimensions updated, these
are handled by a site administrator out in California and not by catalog associates
like myself. To get packaging dimensions added or corrected, please post in
the discussion forum using the Packaging Dimensions topic.
If you have any questions about any of this, please let us know. And again,
I apologize for the confusing way we do things right now.
I still haven't sent in the packaging dimensions to the site admin.

I got a quote request from a customer saying that the shipping was too high.
When I looked at the order it looks like the below piece is the issue.
I have shipped this part before with no issues as lettermail.
With Canada post anything thicker than 2cm must be sent as parcel which is much
more expensive.
I am trying to understand how bricklink takes the 2x2x2 and translates that to
shipping dimensions in centimetres or inches.
Also can someone help me to understand how this can be 2x2x2 when one side is
longer than it is wide.
Is one of the measurements stacked bricks?
Thanks for any help

Thank you this helps, but it doesn’t address how bricklink uses this information
as it relates to packaging limits.

BrickLink keeps a separate database for packaging dimensions not related to the
format of our catalog data. The new database was derived from a mishmash of sources
but is now updated by members posting in a certain thread here in the Forum.
You can only view the dimensions entered for the parts in your shop on the My
Inventory pages.
Hope that helps,

When comparing two Darth Vader figures I had, I discovered a mold variance between

this new mold was created because in order to create the anniversary figure lego
wanted to use a 1 piece Vader helmet, as opposed to the 2 piece helmets they
switched to a couple of years ago. This mold variation deserves a note in the
catalog entry for the helmet,, or a variant added to the catalog, but I'm
not sure which. If someone wants to take the appropriate action from here, please
go ahead. See the attached image for the differences between the two.

Anyone? Does this mold change necessitate an amendment to the Bricklink Catalog?

It appears it has just been made as an additional note.

Yes buyer left neutral, but still does not excuse the negative left by the seller.
and the way the rules are written the seller could do nothing about it. since
the rules were very specific on what reasons feedback could be removed. and that
is what I want changed since they are not the only reasons, since retaliatory
feedback has been removed before and so forth. (in fact he has already contacted
the admins about getting the feedback removed)

Yes. It’s not stud x stud x stud, it’s stud x stud x brick.
A longstanding issue that could be simply solved by a few words changed….

Part of the problem is buyers keep buying from sellers with relatively poor feedback,
suggesting (some) buyers don't care.

I think it’s more a “it won’t happen to me” attitude.
Remember HouseOfLogo (and what a real mess it was).

But that’s just my point with the ebays feedback system Sellers can’t leave negative
feedback for buyers which means they can’t leave retaliatory feedback in any
shape or form! Meaning the buyer is able to give their honest opinion without
fear of retaliatory feedback!
It’s a change I’ve been calling for some time:-
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1168664
I feel its only important that we understand how a seller performs(Feedback wise!)
because it goes without saying that there will always be a few difficult customers
and its how sellers deal with those tricky customers that’s important and for
those customers that are impossibly unreasonable they can be reported and dealt
with by Bricklink!
|
While I do agree such a system would be useful it could also have drawbacks too.
|
Well every system has drawbacks but presumably the current system has big enough
drawbacks for you to warrant posting your concerns in the first place? Hopefully
any drawbacks you associate with the ebay system will be outweighed with what
you are already experiencing right now with the current system?
