Should that not be "2 x 4 Brick - Chrome Black Key Chain"?

To be honest, I have no idea.
When submitting the new key chains, I just tried to follow what was said here:

There isn't any other part in Satin Black in the catalog yet and I don't
own that Chrome Black Darth Vader to compare the colors.

Chrome black is also this container on the outside
look at the note
I think this brick is chrome black

|
| Hi all,
yesterday i recovered my roborider wheel collection from early this century and
decided to sell it.
In the meantime i know about the metallic gold ones (from e. g. promo pack 800010,
see also my store).
What i am still interested in are 2 chrome silver chainsaw wheels (part 32362).
Does anyone know, if these were official parts or just a misprint?
They do not look like some just painted a normal one.
Best regards,
Manfred

The inventory of the 75939 has been added on june first. but we can not still

I guess Lego do not care about getting fees from Bricklink...
Lego should hire someone who can be responsable for inventories.
Why do we have to make the job of Bricklink and Lego?
Bricklink and Lego should give reward for the people who take their extra time

I bought the other sets to inventory them, but at the time this one was reserved
by someone else. It isn't clear now whether they decided not to do it or
their reservation just timed out. I don't remember who it was.

They have communicated that they are not going to do the inventory. I will free
it up for you.

I'm sorry if I seemed to imply it, but I am not planning to do the set at
this time. I have all I need on my plate at the moment.

Alright, I'll do it. I recently got the parting-out ich and it looks pretty

Excellent. I WILL want to get some of those baby Dinos at some point, but I

BrickLink inventories are and have always been submitted by BrickLink members.

I seriously doubt LEGO is generating wealth from this little site.

We have always had volunteer Admins who do an amazing job.

|
Because the job would be too big and too expensive. Our data is crowd sourced
because that system is efficient and effective.

BrickLink does.

Yes! You can! That's what's so great. Feel free to submit the inventory,
people here on the forum will answer any questions you have, and our awesome
admins will help you along. You will be parting out your set in no time.
Sorry if I sound harsh, but your post is very harsh and negative. You have been
a member here for 5 years and have never noticed who creates our catalog?
Good luck,
Jen

When we're redoing the catalog guidelines we'll take this into consideration.
I'm not opposed to these entries on principle, just for the potential they
introduce. But again, we'll consider it and have something solid in place
by the end of the year.

The lid on the tray is actually the way all of mine came from the factory.

There is a white Man-Bat minifigure now and I haven't added it to the catalog.
The rules say he could be added, but no one has done it. And if I needed an
excuse for myself it would be that the set isn't available to me yet, but
I don't need an excuse and no one else does either. It isn't my responsibility
to make sure that everything allowed in the catalog is in the catalog. So no
one would have to add lidded entries to hundreds of containers just because someone
submitted a listing for this one and it got approved. If someone wanted one
of the other hundreds in the catalog and were willing to do the work then they
would do it. Maybe we would never get them all in the catalog. We certainly
don't get all of the stickered counterparts in the catalog either.

I can't stand incomplete inventories and try to avoid them at all costs.
Some inevitably get through for things like gear items, but there really is no
excuse for having an incomplete minifigure inventory.

That's a fair question. The reason is that the BrickLink catalog is very
inconsistent. It's difficult to know if an item will be approved or not
and we get requests for preapprovals ("Would this be approved if I submitted
it?") with some frequency.
Preapprovals should not be necessary - that is the purpose of the submission
process. But they are necessary right now because of numerous inconsistencies.
We are in the process of moving to fewer inconsistencies. One step in that
process is updating catalog guidelines, which we are doing right now.
When it comes to the Dots trays with lids, the current catalog guidelines prohibit
them in two ways. First, from even having an entry:
The system automatically adds / updates / deletes the corresponding original
box entry for every set that is added to the catalog. Original Boxes should therefore
not be added to the catalog.
That rule has been disregarded for years and we disregarded it when approving
the Dots trays for catalog entries. The second prohibition is more important,
though. It is not expressly stated, but comes from a combined interpretation
of these two rules:
For example 2, 3, or 4 bricks stacked together should not be added to the
catalog as there are virtually infinite possibilities for these combinations.
Please limit submissions of multi-set Set entries to ways that LEGO itself is
known to have packaged and distributed such things, including sets released as
promotional items through other companies.
The meaning is that random items not packaged and sold that specific way by TLG
should not be added to the catalog. The Dots sorting trays and lids were never
sold separately as a combined empty tray with a lid.
The real question you're asking is this: what's the harm? The answer
is that it introduces further inconsistency. There have been a couple of very
carefully chosen exceptions to these rules over the years (collectible figure
entries are one).
But if we add Dots sorting trays with lids, we have no excuse not to also add
combined entries for the following:
I'm not going to list hundreds of examples, but look through the catalog
at all the items with lids and imagine having separate catalog entries for all
of them plus all combinations of them. This is basically a discussion of assemblies.
Like assemblies for parts, it is a contentious issue.
But we'll be working on the main catalog guidelines page within the next
six months and will post the new guidelines publicly for feedback and modification
before making them official. So if you feel strongly about assemblies of original
boxes, that would be the time to bring it up.
