A lot of old Lego sets have very small images in the Bricklink catalog. They
look like they were obtained from printed sources from the printed catalogs that
used to be included with those sets back in the 80s/90s. My suggestion is to
see if better quality and higher resolution images can be obtained from The Lego
Group for the Bricklink catalog. After all, Lego owns Bricklink. What does the
admin team think of this? Perhaps I am assuming too much and a convenient archive
of these images for all of these old sets does not readily exist for Bricklinks
use. It's worth checking into it. Are there any objections?

Some of the best buyers I've had the privilege of welcoming in my store have
been zero/low feedback users. So while I understand the rationale for this and
of course it being elective, I personally think that all users have to start
somewhere, so it is maybe not in the best interest of stores to needlessly limit
the buying experience.

Laws are not the same everywhere, so I guess we are fortunate that no order is
legally binding until I as the seller have acknowledged it. If I am really uncomfortable
with the buyer or what he/she is ordering, I reserve the right to cancel the
order, demand the buyer use a shipping method with insurance and tracking or
to demand another form of payment. If the buyer cannot agree, that is a red flag
and it will strengthen my reasons for cancelling.

For fraudulent chargebacks, use the NPB process and negative feedback, else such
buyers just get a free pass to go do the same thing to the next seller. We cannot
prevent fraudsters and scammers anyway. And in my personal opinion, the feedback
system is not a fair guide to good or bad users, which is why I hardly ever look
at it. So for me personally, this would not be a help at all and might just make
some buyers wary of placing orders in the first case. Some users might feel different,
but the idea that the site should limit the buying experience beyond already
having minimum buys, minimum lot averages, NPB and the one-sided right to cancel
for sellers, does not sit well.

I have no stake in this as I stopped selling parts and sets long ago, but I don't
see the harm this would cause if it's executed properly (meaning invisibly).
It's no different of a feature than minimum buy, bulk lot price limits, or
restricting countries that can purchase from you, and if it's opt in, than
the sellers that don't want to participate will have less competition from
other sellers. Buyers will be oblivious to it, so they won't know.

It's no different than how Bricklink stores operate now. Bricklink is a marketplace
with thousands of stores with their unique inventories and rules (minimum buys,
lot limits, speed/efficiency of operation, etc). Just another tool. The question
really becomes, is there enough interest from sellers for this feature for Briclink
to be bothered with implementing and what other coding/database issues this would
cause (Price Guide listing and sales data).

If they are intent on scamming, won't they just place five cheap orders to

I thought about that, but if it's up to the store to set the feedback threshold,
they won't know how many feedbacks they would need. Also if the inventory
does not even show up in listings until said threshold is met, they won't
know to target that particular store with the "hidden" threshold.

I understand the frustration of the seller that gets scammed and PayPal is not
siding on the seller's side. Since Bricklink does not want to get involved
with the monetary transaction or protecting the seller in any way, this is not
a bad idea of a feature as long as it's executed in a way where the buyer
is not made aware of it. If the buyer does not see a listing for that store,
than they can't even get upset. There will always be those stores that will
want to take the risk and sell to 0 feedback or whatever feedback buyer, so there
will always be inventory for them. Ultimately supply/demand comes into play.
I see this as no harm no foul sort of a strategy given the situation with PayPal
siding heavily in buyer's favor.

This will be unpopular with new buyers but may have support from sellers who
have been defrauded.
We instituted a measure to protect from fraud (based on being defrauded in the
past) where we require buyers to have a minimum of 5-10 positive feedbacks in
order to purchase certain high priced sets.
Currently, we can only put that in the item's description and buyers ignore
it and place the orders anyway which creates a sticky situation.

So the suggestion is:
Add a feature to individual listings that will prevent buyers with feedback rating
under X to purchase a certain item.
I can see merit to limiting X to 10 so sellers don't demand a buyer has 10,000
to be able to purchase items.

We allow 0 and low FB rated buyers to buy 99.99% of listings in our shop but
have been burnt a couple of times by 0 FB buyers who bought sealed sets in mint
condition and claimed they were opened and used and returned us boxes with non-LEGO
items in one instance and ransacked set on another purchase- PayPal obviously
sided with the buyers both times.

I'm hoping this will be a measure that would prevent this type of fraud and
will be optional to allow sellers the chance to opt out.

I understand your concern and I think the best way to handle this would be to
allow individual stores to choose this as an option as opposed to a site wide
mandate. This way you can choose to set your restrictions to your heart's
content and for your peace of mind and allowing others to take the risk if they
choose to do so. The best way to implement this would be so that your listings
won't even show up to those buyers to begin with should their feedback threshold
not meet your criteria settings. Additionally it would be useful if you could
choose various options for your threshold, not just feedback, but also which
types of sets (perhaps select them invidividualy or broadly based on price point,
popularity, risk, etc).

Miro

I completely agree and that is why i specifically said that the seller will have
to opt in on their own discretion.

Perhaps I missed that bit of information.

Important part of this feature would need to be where the buyer is not aware
of the inventory in your store that they are not permitted to purchase, otherwise
this will be off-putting to the buyer and could possibly cause buyers to turn
away from this marketplace and/or your store.

The Dutch do not use pink. We use "rose" (which is NOT a flower). The "pink"
is Dutch for your little finger. I do not want to suggest any color for that
finger, we should not repeat any flesh/nougat discussions

In my first native language (Slovak) the word for pink (ružová) also comes from
the flower rose (ruže), and it literally translates to rosy. Also the word for
green (zelená) is derived from the word for (zeleň) greenery as in plants and
word zelenina means vegetables.

Niek.

Earth Green is something that's not identical to TLG's name for 'standard'

to TLG's colour names. Also, Earth Green is no worse than Sand Green!

Take a look at the list here with the names
http://ryanhowerter.net/colors.php

Lego's colors for all the pinks are just crazy

dark pink (BL 47) is bright purple (Lego 221)
bright pink (BL 104) is light purple (Lego 222)
magenta (BL 71) is bright reddish violet (Lego 124)
Danish language has no word for pink, so all pinks are purples, which makes
it very confusing

blue (BL 7) is bright blue (Lego 23)
medium blue (BL 42) is medium blue (Lego 102)
*bright blue sounds lighter in color than medium blue

dark turquoise (BL 39) is bright bluish green (Lego 107)
Lego name is less obvious than BL name

You can compare the names for the rest, but the Lego names are very wordy often
times and quite confusing.

I would have been interested in buying them when I first discovered their use

This might be one of those cases where it would be good to make an exception

the 'leaves on sprue' part has precedents in the flowers, coins and keys.

I save my sprues from this plant element. I have used them here and there, but
not in great quantity. If I was still selling parts, I would have sold them.

On the flip side, the PAB cups and the BAM plastic cases are sold here. They
are in a sense a conduit in getting the part to your home, much like the sprue

Hello Bricklinkers,

Some minutes ago, I found out that the "Coral" part (49577) is included in the
Plant Section of Bricklink, which is scientifically wrong. Coral is an Animal!

Please check additional information here:
https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/coral.html

I wrote to customer service of Bricklink explaining this mistake. I hope they
change this part to the Animal Water section!

Best,

Rita

As it represented seaweed first, it is a plant. To me, I'd identify it as
seaweed, but if people also recognize it as coral, then maybe that should be
added to the name for search purposes. I wonder how many people pick one of these
up and the first word that comes to mind when searching for it is thallus.

Interesting this case is vice versa, a part that has been used extensively as
plants

55236 Plant Vine Seaweed / Appendage Spiked / Bionicle Spine
Parts: Plant

but is listed as an animal part, as that was its original use. Although at least
it had its name changed to include seaweed and plant vine, as that it was it
is also recognizable as.

That is the great thing about Lego, a part that was initially designed as a seaweed
can also be repurposed as a coral. This makes it difficult for categorizing especially
when a part takes on a latter role such as this spike piece (55236) that originally
was used in Bionicle sets but now is used more as a plant vine thingy piece.

That is the beauty of Lego elements, they can take on a different role. I would
not get too hung up on the classification of the seaweed/coral piece. Just keep
it in the plants category as most people would expect to find it there. I am
a biologist and I know that early biologists felt to compelled to classify everything
in biology by bucketing them into distinct groups, but life and nature could
care less how we humans classify things.

I'll leave this thread with my example of the lipstick element (93094). The
way I used it, it's a bird's beak, so it could be classified as an animal
body part in the BL catalogue if Lego chose to use it as such had it's first
appearance been this case. It can also be a chalk writing element to write on
chalkboards.

I enjoyed reading this thread's discussion. I was curious if The New Elementary
blog web page had this same conundrum, and they did, but they did not go
into any lengths in pursuing the discussion and instead focused on the usage
of the part. Article: https://www.newelementary.com/2019/07/plant-or-animal-closer-look-at-plant.html

Need of Plate/Tile Round Modified categories

Viewed:

57 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

If this is on the Catalog roadmap, my apologies, but I am noticing some logic
discrepancies on how some of these parts are allocated to their current categories.

Fo obvious reasons, part 25269 (Tile, Round 1 x 1 Quarter) is in the Tile Round
category, because 4 of these makes a nice circle shape.

25269 Tile, Round 1 x 1 Quarter
Parts: Tile, Round

Therefore I am assuming Part 24246 (Tile, Modified 1 x 1 Half Circle Extended
(Stadium)) is in the Tile Modified category because it's irregular and makes
no circle shape, despite one side being round.

24246 Tile, Round 1 x 1 Half Circle Extended
Parts: Tile, Round

Yet part 39739 (Tile, Round 1 x 1 Heart) is in the Tile Round category, despite
the fact that it makes no circular shape (clover leaf shape at best). To me,
they should either be in the Tile Round or Tile Modified as it's confusing
things.

39739 Tile, Round 1 x 1 Heart
Parts: Tile, Round

There are other parts in the Tile Round category which are clearly modified like

20482 Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Bar and Pin Holder
Parts: Tile, Round

2376 Tile, Round 2 x 2 with Lifting Ring Thin
Parts: Tile, Round

This is also true for Plate Round category items. Perhaps it's time to create
Plate Round Modified and Tile Round Modified categories. There may be reason
for not doing this now, but things like this really bug me when searching for
parts where my logic fails to find them, usually parts falling into 2 or 3 categories
due to vague nature of classification.

I've added this to the roadmap because there is more involved here than just
identifying and retitling MCM parts. It's the most recent project added
(end of the list):

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476

Our goal is to get through one project every month. This is not an overly complicated
project, so hopefully it will happen relatively soon. I would suggest this to
anyone reading: begin working on compiling a list of MCM parts so that when we
begin the project we can breeze through it quickly.

Thank you for adding this to the roadmap. It will be a great asset in the catalogue
and sounds the like MCM acronym is sticking. As some of the parts get identified,
I imagine some entries will need to be changed to "a" and "b" during the transition
that happened in 2014, like the Friends legs that I identified. I also see the
dark blue legs with tan and dark shoes has probably more to do with the original
intent being tan, which looks tan with MCM, but look dark tan when tan color
is applied to dark blue mold, as you can see in my photo here: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=851619

I would say it needs to be something in the titles, not in the part number.
We would need something very short because torso assemblies where some parts
occur already have crammed titles. So a code, of sorts, like BAM. It will need
to be something not used in any other part titles or numbers.

Having all that in mind, what do you think about adding the letters DMO
(standing for Dual MOlded) to the titles of dual-molded parts?
This would include those parts that come in similar printed/molded patterns
that are not currently distinguished with separate catalog entries.

This will allow two things: finding all dual molded parts in the catalog by search
and excluding dual molded parts from searches.

Anything to distinguish the Dual MOlded (DMO) from Non-Dual Molded would help.
Although I am not sure people would know what DMO stands for outside of this
thread. I understand the need for a unique acronym.

DCM could be another acronym for Dual Color Mold if you want a 3 letter acronym,
since the O in DMO is not that fitting. This way if they ever do a Triple Color
Mold (TCM) you could distinguish it easily.

Miro

or MCM for Multi Color Mould to cover any future eventuality.

I changed them when I changed the legs and torsos around based on the theory
Robert mentioned up the thread but I'm glad it was brought up and is being
discussed

I like the MCM (Multi Color Mould) acronym. It future proofs things and certainly
distinguishes from SCM (Single Color Mould) parts. Thanks for the suggestion.
This should had been addressed when these parts started to appear first back

There are no real definitions for a number of things and we're working right
now to change that.

As for dual-molded parts, I would say that the appearance of the part
is what is important. If a part appears to have a pattern, then BrickLink should
probably treat it as a patterned part regardless of the production method.

This is because when anyone is looking for an item, I imagine they would want
a clean distinction between plain parts and multicolored or patterned parts.
That's not to say we couldn't distinguish dual-molded parts in some
way, either with titles or item numbers. For example, we already distinguish
patterned parts that have stickers using the part title.

Oddly enough, at least for some patterned parts where the production is with
molding, we don't identify the part as a patterned part:

30566 Tile, Modified 6 x 6 x 2/3 with 4 Studs and Debossed Star Wars Logo
Parts: Tile, Modified

But sometimes we do:

bb0007c01pb01 Electric, Motor 4.5V Type A 12 x 4 x 4 (Train) with Engraved '4,5 VOLT' Pattern
Parts: Electric, Motor

Which makes me wonder what the catalog means when it uses the word "embossed:"

3010pb036e Brick 1 x 4 with Car Grille Black Pattern (Embossed Print)
Parts: Brick, Decorated

Anyway, there's still a lot to clean up all across the catalog. The first
step is enacting solid guidelines. Right now we're working on these two
pages and would greatly appreciate input before they become official in 11 (or
fewer) days:

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

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2479

The dual-molding issue will have to wait until we get to a catalog page that
would address it.

I would certainly like dual-molded differentiated from printed or stickered.
The additional wrinkle is there is no way of knowing when a part is dual-molded
or not.

For example these legs

92253c00pb01 Mini Doll Hips and Trousers with Back Pockets with Tan Shoes Pattern - Thick Hinge
Parts: Mini Doll, Legs

come in dual molded and printed version of the shoes, but BL did not implement
the differentiation even though I brought it up in the past. The quality is vastly
different and hence why Lego decided to start doing dual molding of minifig/minidoll
parts

I don't care either way, but it would be very useful to know which legs are
dual molded (and so have the correct colours on the back of the legs) vs those
that are printed (and so have a single colour on the backs).

I agree. Not to mention those that want to remove the decoration for their customization
or whatever purpose will not be able to do so with the dual-molded version.

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

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?

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

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?

No highlighting = not updated, but should be relatively easy updates

It would be beneficial if it contained real image examples in some sort of grid

and Slope, Curved such as

37352 Slope, Curved 1 x 2
Parts: Slope, Curved

49307 Slope, Curved 1 x 1 x 2/3 Double
Parts: Slope, Curved

6191 Slope, Curved 1 x 4 x 1 1/3
Parts: Slope, Curved

6192 Slope, Curved 2 x 4 Double (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Slope, Curved

which have no studs and are less like a brick and more like a slope much like

30602 Slope, Curved 2 x 2 Lip
Parts: Slope, Curved

44675 Slope, Curved 2 x 2 with Debossed Side Ports
Parts: Slope, Curved

yet

44126 Slope, Curved 6 x 2
Parts: Slope, Curved

41766 Slope, Curved 8 x 2 x 2 with 4 Recessed Studs
Parts: Slope, Curved

42022 Slope, Curved 6 x 1
Parts: Slope, Curved

have studs and curved surface much like

33243 Slope, Curved 3 x 1 x 2 with Hollow Stud
Parts: Slope, Curved

These all fall in the gray zone in my opinion and it's hard for admins trying
to classify them. I believe some time ago it was defined as if the base is brick
with curved surface or a curved slope.

There will be many more considerations for other part categories and a daunting
task it will be.

Coincidentally, earlier today I noted the category Mini Dolls Hair - Is there
any physical distinction between hair originally used for mini dolls and hair
used for minifigures? If not, why would this be a separate category?

15675 Mini Doll, Hair Friends Long Ponytail, French Braided, Hole on Top, 2 Holes on Back
Parts: Mini Doll, Hair

37703 Minifigure, Hair Female Long with Right Side Part (Extra Tolerance for Body Wear in Back)
Parts: Minifigure, Hair

Some are worn by both minidolls and minifigures, such as:

92254pb01 Mini Doll, Hair Combo, Hair with Hat, Long Ponytail, Side Bangs, Hole in Back with Molded Black Horse Riding Helmet Pattern
Parts: Mini Doll, Hair

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=92254pb01&in=M

This was already answered, but it appears that there is no distinction, except
that some of the minidoll hair pieces appeared first with minidolls. Otherwise,
they fit both heads for the most part. I am not sure if any of the ponytails/overhangs
cause any issues for one type of figure over other.

Inventory Backup/Restore/Deletion Prevention

To prevent accidental deletion of inventory or restore of store's inventory
for various reasons like accidental deletions, price changes, etc. Currently
changes cannot be undone and a self administered restore function would be beneficial.
Requiring administrative assistance in restoring one's inventory is inconvenient
on both the seller and the BL team.

Remedy Option 1
To prevent strain on the infrastructure of constant periodic backups of everyone's
inventory, the backup would only initiate when a user enters their store's
inventory page, and limited to certain time intervals (once a day, once per hour,
or whatever the system can handle). The seller would have the option of self
initiate backup as needed.

Remedy Option 2
If the infrastructure cannot handle backups on their own system, perhaps Bricklink
can prompt user with an option to download inventory prior to deletion or major
changes being done to it, and self administer restore function.

Remedy Option 3
At the least, the system should require a re-login to the account when inventory
deletion function is selected to prevent accidental deletion of the store's
inventory.

The above options are no mutually exclusive and can be implemented in tandem
depending on what Bricklink system/team can implement.

By the way 3684 is not marked for deletion yet.

Thanks.

I used to think this until I found Tom Alphin's lego ruler and sorting tool:
http://tomalphin.com/2014/02/lego-ruler-and-sorting-tool.html

One stud is 8mm wide but a plate is 3.2mm high, therefore the size of a 1x1 brick
is 8mm x 8mm x 9.8mm. I have Tom's guide printed and laminated and reckon
that it has saved me a load of time while sorting!

Very handy. Thanks for sharing.

This thread is a useful reminder that exemplifies that measurement values without
units creates confusion. I work as a scientist in my day life, and talking about
measurements without units causes same problems.

To the OP, the slope 3684 is 3 bricks tall, which is the same as 9 plates tall
(a brick is 3 plates tall), or 18 Lego units tall (a plate is 2 Lego units).
A good relation measurement is 2x2 brick width is same as 5 plates height, which
means that a 1x1 brick width is 2.5 plates height, therefore the 3684 slope which
is 3 bricks tall = 9 plates height = 4.8 stud widths (12/2.5=3.6). So as you
can see, it makes no sense in referring to this slope as 3.6 stud heights. It's
very confusing. That being said, having units in the dimensions handy, will prevent
further confusions.

Knowing dimensions is very practical when SNOT building, where the orientation
of bricks is placed sideways and combination of upright and sideway bricks.

It appears that the inventory is not pending or reserved. The minifigs are already
in the system. Someone may be planning on inventorying it, but it's not currently
reserved. Inventories are done by members and approved by the Inventories Admin.

If you just need the inventory, you can find it on Rebrickable:
https://rebrickable.com/sets/75936-1/jurassic-park-trex-rampage/#parts

and they also have the inventory just for the T-Rex:

if you want to build the T-Rex, do note that there are quite a few parts with

Wayne's post and others like it, https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1150409
brings to mind an idea that briefly visited my headspace some time ago:

A type of reverse want list. That is, a way that sellers could peruse the current
want lists to specific buyer's needs, to then as a seller, proactively engage
members like Wayne with offers on items they have on their want list.

Kinda like amping-up the want list and selling process, by getting the sellers
more involved in increasing their sales by actually selling

It's just a rough draft of an idea. Limitations, restriction and other refinements
of the idea, expected.

But hey, BL shot-callers, it speaks directly to upping the sales numbers!

-Cory

Cory,

I have read through this thread and it appears that there is lack of transparency
for sellers on what parts buyers need, what parts sell well and so forth. Personally,
I have a lot of wanted lists that I have no intention on fulfilling. Many of
them are remnants of what I was interested in at a given moment and I personally
just have not gone to delete them for various reasons, mainly being a low priority.
This problem alone would create a lot of dead end work for the seller trying
to fulfill a wanted list that the buyer has no intention in fulfilling. There
are many other practical reasons for wanted lists that buyers use them for, to
serve as a reminder of parts to look for in stores when they need to pad their
cart to meet minimum, but not necessarily an critical item they need to buy.
Those could be just nice to have parts if an opportunity arrises, so as not to
pay additional shipping just for those part(s).

Having been a seller, I understand the frustration of what to stock up on, and
I know the main advice is quantity, variety, highly desirables and high turn
overs. The problem is that Bricklink attracts people from all sorts of corners
of the world with wide range of needs.

The other problem with Wanted lists and stores is that even though the Wanted
List search function looks for stores with say most unique lots or a combination
search, the buyer is still tasked with trying to find a combination of stores
with best value (cost of parts vs cost of shipping). BL used to find stores with
cheapest cost, but I believe that was removed soon after it was implemented,
as in a long term it was causing price erosion for sellers, which is a valid
concern.

All in all, it's a balancing act of sellers and buyers doing their part,
with the sellers obviously carrying the financial burden of cost of inventory,
time and labor. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into it. I have carried
the burden for about 2-3 years, and I got burned out.

I think seller's tools would be very welcome for sellers in understanding
what parts sell well in their store and what parts are up rising/falling in demand.
Obviously with such tools, it would create more fierce completion amongst sellers
to provide best selling inventor, which in turn would change the behavior of
buyers and ultimately the demand of parts. Essentially what Youtube is currently
doing by changing their algorithm, which is changing what people watch and changing
the game ever so frequently.

I no longer have much at stake in selling, but as an infrequent buyer, I still
use this site and change is needed to keep up with expectations of both buyers
and sellers.

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum to post this in. I did a search
for 'set weight' in the forums and couldn't find anything addressing
this question.

How are the weight of sets derived? Does a submitter weigh the sealed set on
a scale and enter weight or is it automatically calculated by the inventory submitted?

I've purchased sealed sets 2nd hand over the years and they never seem to
weigh what is listed on BL. I've read recent posts about sellers finding
sealed sets purchased in stores as "new" only to find their contents were replaced.

I decided to check several sealed sets in our inventory, some purchased at chain
stores, others purchased at LEGO stores or SAH, and NONE of them match what was
listed on BL. On smaller sets they have been as close as +/- 2 grams off, but
on mid-size sets (200-400 pieces), I've seen them off up to +/- 30 grams

This has happened with two different scales, so not sure it is an issue with
an inaccurate scale especially considering the sets we are weighing aren't
always lighter than what is listed on BL, but sometime higher too. I also listed
a boat weight that BL shows as 49.69 grams and our scale wavers between 49 &
50 grams, so it seems to be accurate.

Could the package weight be different depending on country? (an inventory is
submitted by someone in EU and their packaging weighs less??)

I want to list some of these 2nd hand sets that appear to be sealed as "new-sealed"
but don't feel comfortable at the moment given these discrepancies between
what we show as weight and what BL says is the weight.

Sets should be weighed when brand new and sealed. Besides the obvious like instructions,
packaging, sealed sets also contain spare parts, sticker sheets and just the
general variance in packaging material. Packaging material variance is greater
than the lego content, as the thickness of cardboard and plastic varies more
than injection molded lego.

I have weighed items for the Bricklink catalog, and I would enter the higher
weight if I saw variance in the weight. I also used digital scales with sensitivity
down to a single gram for larger items, and down to 0.01 grams for individual
lego parts.

If you sell second hand sets, you are welcome to weigh them and enter your weight
in your inventory for those items.

Ultimately, you will have to package the sets and hence the final weight will
increase for shipping anyway.

I would say the weight is close enough for most people. If there is a big weight
difference, it's possible that either Lego changed the packaging on the set
or changed the inventory to reflect necessary changes to set design in mid-production
of that set. It has happened in numerous occasions, and usually those sets will
be marked as -1, -2, etc in the catalog if someone catches it.

What do you think?

That was the point of the Projectile Launcher category: to group all of these
together in one place. However, I'd prefer to wait for the launch of the
parts reclassification project to move these.

The first part of that project will be creating precise written definitions for
every category of parts. Once written definitions exist, then people will have
less room to bring out the torches and pitchforks when parts start moving.

Don't know if you noticed or not, but people sometimes want change and then
complain when it happens.

I hope the part reclassification also considers some of the modified bricks
parts reclassification, as it has become a dumping ground. I often find myself
clicking back and forth between modified bricks and curved slopes
categories as there are several bricks with slopes that to me would make more
sense to be in the curved slopes category. There are many others, and
I am sure everyone has their own reclassification wants.

The problem lies in how one chooses to classify parts, as it's in human nature
to label and bucket everything, but in reality there is a lot of overlap. Ultimately
whatever Bricklink chooses to do, there were be complaining. You just can't
please everyone, and I think the majority will be from sellers, as they will
feel more of the burden of rearranging their inventory, if they try to match
the Bricklink categories. As such it would be considerate if Bricklink would
communicate these changes effectively to ease the pain for those that would be
affected the most.

Miro

To me Brick,Modified vs Slope,Curved is absolutely fine. I never have any doubts
or troubles with it. Brick,Round is round in the XY dimension, Brick,Modified
is round in the Z dimension, and all curves that are not circular are Slopes.
I'm surprised it's Slopes vs Brick,Modified that troubles you and not
Brick,Modified vs Brick,Arch. If the curved Brick,Modified parts were moved elsewhere,
my first thought would be Brick,Round, definitely not slope.

Brick arch do not confuse me because arches have voids beneath them. Just speaking
from experience of having to click in 2 groups because some curved parts are
in bricks modified and others in curved slopes. That's just scratching the
surface. There are others as well in other categories, but as I mentioned earlier,
human like to classify things and each person classifies things based on some
definitions that do not always agree from person to person. It's a slippery
slope and ultimately whatever it becomes will be just a nuisance to some degree
to us all. Can't please everyone, and in grand scheme, it does not affect
my life all that much.

Yes I agree, your example is spot-on.

Miro78:
This would clearly require a tag system for individual entries to allow for such narrowing down of options.

Yep, totally agree.

Miro78:
Obviously this can be implemented when the BL catalog system is updated. I think doing a pilot sub-catalog trial is still in everyone's best interest that would bring in a whole slew of new buyers.

Would the pilot trial still be within BL or a new external sister-site perhaps?

I think the pilot site needs to be incorporated along with the main site, so
as to gain as much exposure and assess demand and flush out errors and get feedback.

Miro78:
Initially it would be best to start with high profile minibuilds that buyers and sellers need to exist without having the inventory admins busy with minibuilds with low likely hood of being sold.

Which are the high profile minibuilds? I would say they are the ‘new-incomplete’
and ‘used-incomplete’ sets that are already in the BL catalog. How do we know
which minibuilds have a low likelihood of being sold? Experience shows that there
is always something you think would not sell that someone is eager to purchase.

I think focusing on some key high in demand mini builds like the character based
ones that have always been discussed in the catalog would be a good start. The
admins can create a minibuild request page where people can request specific
minibuilds and if they reach a certain threshold of votes/requests then only
then admins would add those in, at least at the beginning, so as to control the
amount of work that would be needed, as well gauging demand/supply for them to
gauge success of the program. Spending time on bunch of minibuilds that would
not generate sales would not be very informative on the success of such an undertaking.

Obviously the catalog of minibuilds would not be complete from the get-go, but
it would need to start somewhere. I think sellers would be interested in it,
as it would generate sales and buyers will spend less time hunting for parts
for popular minibuilds.

If the goal is to take pressure of the Inventory Administrators then which is
more time -consuming/time-efficient: a few large-part-count minibuilds; or many
small-part-count minibuilds; or batches of a set-theme; or batches of a minibuild
category?

Miro78:
As far as sticker sheet problem, I have not found a good solution. Perhaps there can be 2 options: Without stickers and with stickers applied. The latter being a touchy topic on its-own, but at least it gives sellers and buyers options.

I checked on TLG website and does not seem to be any way to purchase replacement
sticker sheets for a set. Do you know is TLG do this? Purchasing an extra sticker
sheet for each minibuild would be another option, but it would be an extra expense
for the seller. Otherwise the minibuild sellers could buy bulk sticker sheets
from the part-out sellers.

If I were the king, I think I would put them on a new tree and not go by themes.
Use categories like "Vehicle - Land", "Vehicle - Space", "Animal", "Furniture".
It would be a whole new way for customers to shop Bricklink and a whole new

on an ease of browsing. Currently the catalog is not dynamic enough besides either
browsing and narrowing down branch by branch or by specific searches. The mini

Say for example I want to build a Star Wars battle scene, but I lack enough ground
based vehicles for the Rebels side. So I would like to narrow down the list of
minibuilds available by narrowing down. So a logical progression would be something
like this:

Minibuilds Star Wars Vehicles Ground Vehicles Rebels

but if I didn't care if they were ground vehicles, but still be Rebels then
it would be

Minibuilds Star Wars Vehicles Rebels

You get the idea. This same logic would be used for finding vehicles for my town
layout

Clearly the BL catalog does not have a dynamic catalog to handle this at the
moment, without specific searches. This would clearly require a tag system for
individual entries to allow for such narrowing down of options.

Obviously this can be implemented when the BL catalog system is updated. I think
doing a pilot sub-catalog trial is still in everyone's best interest that
would bring in a whole slew of new buyers. Initially it would be best to start
with high profile minibuilds that buyers and sellers need to exist without having
the inventory admins busy with minibuilds with low likely hood of being sold.

As far as sticker sheet problem, I have not found a good solution. Perhaps there
can be 2 options: Without stickers and with stickers applied. The latter being
a touchy topic on its-own, but at least it gives sellers and buyers options.
Any thoughts?

What would the buyer expect?

AFAICT, generally, each minibuild has its own instruction booklet.

Sticker sheets are more of a problem :/

I like the idea, but the problem seems to be in the details and how it can be
best handled, as has already been pointed out.

There are some obvious builds like the characters from Cars, brickbuilt figures
like Groot, the giant Antman and such, train cars, but then it it's not so
clear on the smaller builds that are not attached to the main set build. There
are lots of little minibuilds across various themes/subthemes and I am not sure
how they will be easily cataloged in what would require a whole new branch of
the catalog. Would they be classified under their themes and subthemes. How will
they be easily found. If I just want a brickbuilt trashcan, how will one know
what theme and subtheme to find it under. The character ones would be fairly
simple to find by name, but some accessory minibuilds would seem to lurk in the
shadows of the catalog, to be never found or browsed.

Additionally it would take a huge undertaking to re-catalog many of these. The
sticker sheets is one of the biggest issues that I can't figure out the best
way to handle the issue without making the minibuild seem incomplete if omitted,
but if the stickers are applied, then it would classify them as used. Cutting
instructions creates an additional chore for the seller, but mainly the quality
of the cut which could compromise the sticker just to name 1 of several concerns
with that alone. Some stickers have no space between them and cutting between
2 stickers would prove quite impossible without inflicting some damage.

Ultimately, people will probably still list sets as incomplete to gain better
visibility and to dump off the rest of the unwanted minibuilds in 1 sale as opposed
to various minibuilds.

As far as the catalog price averages issue, I think incomplete sets need to be
marked as incomplete and sale of those should not be listed or used for calculations
of averages. Perhaps that is already what is happening, I just wouldn't know.

Whatever Bricklink decides to do, should probably do a trial test with certain
figures and see how it shakes out, before they bite of more than they can chew.
Catalog and Inventory admins will have quite a work cut out for them.

I think it should be required that sellers who smoke must post a prominent note

Or if sellers who do not smoke sell parts that smell of smoke, that should be
listed on the part.

Getting parts that smell of smoke requires a lot of work by the buyer to remove
the odor, and we should know what we are getting into before buying. Not to mention
that when a seller does not disclose that they are a smoker, they are basically
lying about the condition of the parts.

I am really tired of getting stinky parts.

Sure, some sellers might be tempted to lie about about it, but users would complain.
Then sellers who smoke and fail to disclose their smoking should be treated with
the warning/termination policy applied to buying/selling offences.

Another point of view.

I do not smoke, I received negative feedback for parts that smelled from smoke.
As it turns out the post office allows mail carriers to smoke in their vehicles.
I stopped mailing packages on the day that the mail carrier who smokes is on
duty. That solved the problem. I also changed my packaging from paper bubble
mailers to plastic bubble mailers. I haven't had a complaint since then.

Wrongfully accused and sad about it

I recall you stating this in the forum in the past. That is unfortunate that
mail carriers are allowed to smoke in the vehicles in your area while being paid
to handle customer's goods. That is just inexcusable business practice/oversight.
I imagine it's hard to control for this behavior when there is no easy way
to monitor them when they are out there on their own. Additionally the package
passes through too many hands before reaching it's destination, so it would
impossible to pinpoint blame.

It's good you found a proactive solution to your problem as you can't
control what other people do.

When I used to sell parts, The parts were always double ziplock bagged. The smaller
zip bag for part sorting, and the larger zip bag to contain them all within the
package. Additionally I would bubble wrap them for extra cushioning before they
were put in a box or padded mailer envelope, which is plastic bubble lined on
the inside. The flap would get fully taped over for extra protection.

Tires are notorious for absorbing odors, as I have found out, when I purchased
some from a seller that must have stored them in a way that allowed them to absorb
smoke and/or perfume smells. The smell from them, takes forever to dissipate.

what is then ???

If you sell parts and they smell of smoke for whatever reason then it will be
a problem.

Even if you don't smoke near them , it is likely that they will get contaminated
to some degree.

Same with pet hair, although that is a different issue. I have cats, and while
they don't go into my office, I occasionally find hairs in my sorting cups
for example. Some people don't like, or are allergic, and I am aware that
I can't be absolutely certain that the odd hair won't end up in a jiffy
bag.

This is why I believe there is some threshold of reasonability. Every time you
open a bricklink order, you will smell another person's house. Some smell
more strongly than others. Sometimes you may find a hair or a fingerprint or
another hint of human existence. But this is just a reality. That's why I
raised the question how long the smoke smell really lasts. Because if
it's a significant amount of time, then yes, you can say it is part of the
part's condition. But if it's just a day or two, I would say that's
just part of life and doesn't need mentioning. Better to judge shops on more
meaningful factors in that case.
From what I remember, parts smelled of smoke when I unpacked them, but then quickly
smelled like coffee from me storing them in coffee cans, and then woodstain from
wooden boxes, then like lavender from washing...

As far as I know parts change
smell quickly, although it has been a long time since I was an avid buyer on
Bricklink, so perhaps I forgot.

This is a recurring topic, and it would be nice if it was controlled professionally
by Bricklink instead of an interpretation by each store owner. Personally I hate
it when new bricks smell like smoke. I have experienced various odors (smoke
or strong perfume to mask the smoke odor, etc). If that is the case, then they
should be classified as used, because if they don't look, feel and smell
like new bricks fresh out of a LEGO box or Pick-A-Brick wall, then they are just
not new, regardless if they have been "clicked" with another brick (which happens
in the box and on the PAB wall anyway). I know not everyone will agree, but you
don't see LEGO factory or store employees smoking in their facilities/stores
for a reason.

I like the idea of how the other site (assuming BrickOwl) uses "Smoke Free" store
designation. I think Odor Free would be more inclusive of strong perfumes, but
it's a bit vague on what constitutes as "odor".

A 3001 would be 18.8 x 9.4 x 5.6 millismoot.

The true universal measurement system would be the Planck length. It is the shortest
sensible distance in the universe derived from 3 fundamental physical constants:
the speed of light in a vacuum, the Planck constant, and the gravitational constant

A 3001 would measure roughly 1.1632x10^33 x 5.8160x10^32 x 3.4649x10^32 in Planck
length units

This should make dimensions clear enough for any ETFOLs (Extra Terrestrial Fans

Thank you for the consideration.

I went into the preview and made a shipping method with no cost, and made a note
for people only buying digital instructions to use it. It would be better if
we could designate certain items to only use certain shipping methods. You can
go see what I did by going to my store in the preview site and buying instructions.

M.Boss

But that shipping method is not limited only to instructions. Buyers can also
select it if they buy items that need to be shipped. I just checked your store
and it was the first listed and automatically selected shipping method. So buyers
will easily accidentally select it if they're not paying attention and just
quickly want to check out.

Thank you both for the input. That is exactly the point of my suggestion. I feel
that BL team needs to create a an electronic shipping option that won't allow
physical items to be checked out. In addition, the electronic items need to be
differentiated from physical items, either via a new category or weight. Currently
weight of zero grams is not allowed.

^As he said. Also add weight limits so that they know that they may be able to
add more items to the order without increasing shipping cost. I have a chart
that you may look at as an guideline, however I have not updated the prices since

Also it may be helpful to put the minimum international shipping price (~$13)

Unfortunately USPS has decided to do away with tiered shipping prices and instead
make everyone pay at an 8 oz price even if the package weighs far less than that
threshold.

Re: Analytics for sellers

This is a "roadmap" suggestion, as it would require a pretty big change in the
architecture of the site, but it would be very useful for sellers to have access
to tracking information for their shops.

Full analytics would tell sellers things like:

- How visitors got to their shop. For example, some people post sales in the
forums. Analytics would let you see how many people followed the forum link and
whether they bought something. That would give you an idea of how effective that
marketing activity is. Or if you link to your shop from other forums or social
media sites, you could follow that traffic.

- The search terms visitors used to find your shop.

- How people look around your shop. Do they search? Use a wanted list? Browse
by color?

- When your traffic is heaviest and lightest

- What country your visitors are from. Maybe you need to add a destination to
your shipping list or translate your shop terms into another language?

This is perhaps a long-term feature, but some of the things BL is working on
now could be designed with analytics in mind: payment processing, for example.
Analytics can give you lots of "gee-whiz" information, but to be really useful
it has to answer one big question about each visitor: Did they buy anything?
As BL works on its new automated checkout and payment system, I would hope they
keep an eye on the future and make it possible one day for sellers to track what
marketing efforts are working.

Old suggestion thread, but still very relevant for sellers and quite probably
beneficial to buyers as sellers will be able to make necessary changes to attract
more buyers and meet their needs.

Voted yes on this, as many other websites offer analytics (YouTube, Flickr, WordPress
just to name a few).

I would particularly like to see stats on:

-Buyer source (Item name search, Wanted List search, Catalog Price Guide, External
web sites (with names/some stats) useful for those that advertise elsewhere
-Items/categories browsed stats
-Shopping carts filled/emptied stats
-Buyer browsing duration stats
-What item/reason brought buyer to store

I am sure there are plenty of other stats that others would find useful.

I don't know a thing on how easy/difficult it would be to implement any of
these stat tracking and reporting with the current or future BL infrastructure,
but at least I listed them for the developers to think what would need to be
done to allow for implementation.

That would mean a regular buyer has to wait for his order to arrive before making

orders in a week.

I also don't want to burden buyers with having to do this, it is another
thing that you just don't have to do as a buyer on-line elsewhere... you
buy, pay, get stuff, that's it. Anything else is optional like FB, etc.

We have thousands of orders, many purged, where the status never got beyond shipped.
I personally have no problem with that.

Robert

Ole,
I see your point, but I also agree with Robert. This seems to only bug the seller.
Another way to look at it is if you haven't heard back from the buyer about
the order, then more than likely they received the order and were satisfied enough
to not be bothered with following up with you or the order status.

As others have said, we all get these, and I must confess that sometimes it takes
me a while to change the status to completed, but I change it to received as
soon as possible. Many times, I get orders and I don't get around to checking
the contents for days or weeks at a time, as I only take out what I need and
deal with the rest (filler items) at a later point. I know, my personal Lego
collection needs to be sorted, but I lack the space at the moment. I hope this
changes within the next year, but now it's not a high priority. Sorry, got

the whole list of known colours and what ones are currently being sold. It is
really not acceptable to load the page and then have to click a drop down list
to see colors, then click known colors, then scroll just to see what those are,
and then have to do more work to see what is being sold of each. It's really,
really, really not useful compared to the old page layout. The old page layout
had this visible immediately when the part page loaded.

Please change this back as soon as possible. There should be a list of all known
colors and a list of all colors for sale at a minimum. This is important because
there may be known colors of some parts but they aren't for sale.

Also, it's generally bad idea in UI design to use a drop down list with more
than 8 or so options. If this cannot be changed back then the drop down list
should at least be made bigger so you don't have to scroll.

I switched this to a suggestion so people could vote. I say, bring back the colors.

Has it been established that this is a format change and not just a bug or a
temporary experiment? The tabs are still coded into the pages, they just aren't
being displayed. If you are handy with Firefox and CSS you can get them back.
Makes me think it's not a permanent format change.

I hope you are right about it. I'll wait and come back when this gets fixed.

I figured i'd just import the parts list into BL and go from there, thinking
surely BL is setup to handle such things.

NOPE!

The only format BL is setup to import is BL XML files. The only formats that
LDD exports as are LXF and XLS. I am sure that there is some magic that can
be worked involving BrickStock, but I shouldn't need a third party program
to get this to work.

With people designing all sorts of things in LDD and LDRAW, BL should be able
to import these formats directly so that those people can source their parts
here. Why this wasn't a priority over the MOC Shop is beyond me. People
are going to be more willing o buy their own designs over someone elses.

So, my suggestion is that BL be able to import, at a minimum:

LEGO Digital Designer files
LDRAW files
Excel Spreadsheet parts lists.

For further incentive: This already works at BrickOwl. I was able to import
the LDD file directly, and BO provided me with an estimate of the cost. This
is all that was needed at this point, but I was able to go further and search
stores for the parts.

Would much prefer to buy here, but if my customer decides to proceed with the

I voted yes on this some time ago, but I just wanted to reply to this as this
comes up a few times a week. I figure more exposure can't hurt. If this sort
of thing is asked for by a few people a week on BL forum, there must be 50-100x
if not more people wanting this, but never post in the forum to begin with. Sure
would like to know if BL developers are working on this feature or not. The workaround
is tedious, non-obvious and unnecessary.

Additionally, BL team could leverage on some needed and some nice subfeatures,

Re: Display number of orders store is yet to proc

In Suggestions, activoice writes:

I find that some stores process orders a lot faster than other stores. Most
of the time this is proportionate to the number of outstanding orders that the
store has yet to fill (IE how backlogged they are)

In some cases I've waited 3 weeks from the day I paid for an order until
it was actually shipped.

From a buyers perspective if I knew how many orders there were ahead of mine
it would help me make a decision as to whether or not I was going to order from
this store or not... (in many cases you have no choice because you are selecting
the store because they have most of the items on your wanted list)

But at least if I knew that the store had 100 orders ahead of mine I could make
an informed decision whether I wanted to buy from them or if I would be better
off splitting my order across a few stores that have much fewer orders ahead
of mine.

In the brick and mortar world it's like being in a food court... I could
really want Chipotle, but I can see they've got a huge line... but hey there's
no line at Subway... that's good enough... I'll go there...

So what would count against the seller would be things like
- Order Placed but not yet invoiced
- Orders Paid for by the buyer but not yet shipped

Things that would not count against the seller
- Orders invoiced but not yet paid for by the buyer

You could even display an average for number of days from the day the Buyer marks
the invoice as PAID to the day the SELLER sets the status to SHIPPED. This would
be simpler and tell you how fast a SELLER processes orders on average.

(Hopefully most people are honest... once again I've had a seller outright
lie and tell me that they shipped something out, but when I actually received
the item I can see what date it was post marked, and it's more than 2 weeks
later.. I understand people get busy and they have lives... but at least be
honest about it)

I see your point here, but generally speaking, feedback comments tell you a lot
in regards to level of service a store provides (speed, packing, part quality,
communication, etc). Your suggestion would hurt those stores that allow buyers
to hold orders open while the buyer takes more time to add additional items over
a course of few days. That's just one example. Some of the big stores state
in their TOS and/or Splash page about their turn around time. Not all, but over
time you will see which ones are honest and speedy. I have my favorite go to
stores for when I need stuff fast.

These where added to the catalog in February of 2015. Now, I am a fan of accurate
listings, and satisfied customers, but how am I supposed to know to check my
inventory for these new listings? I was never notified that I might have these
figures listed incorrectly, and I don't have time to read every change log
that is posted. Is there any plan for notification of catalog changes in the
future? Bricklink already knows that I parted these sets out, as they are shown
in my part-out log. A simple canned message stating that a change was made to
X set, that shows in my part-out log, please check your inventory. Or, even just
a tag on MY Bricklink page, like the one that alerts you to items slated for
deletion. Is that plausible? anyone know?

Voted yes, as it just makes sense to have this be implemented and goes hand in
hand with the Item Pending Deletion type of a message alert system they have

Re: Solid Stud Heads

In Suggestions, par016 writes:

So I have been thinking a bit about the issues surrounding solid stud heads.
There seems to be a clear desire by at least some members to straighten this
issue out. I don't care too much which way it ends up going (though all my
future older figures will contain comments on head styles) but I did have a possible
solution.

I think that the reasons I have heard for not fixing this is:
A) It's in the rules that all figures will be inventoried with hollow stud
heads
B) There are so many listings that were made under this rule that changing it
would cause a lot of problems for sellers
C) Creating variants (such as sp007a) for every figure with solid studs is just
ridiculous

I agree that these are definitely concerns. When I first started selling, the
catalog was cannon. I figured that if the catalog said hollow studs, they better
be hollows studs otherwise buyers might get upset. I actually removed a few
solid stud heads from classic figures to add to my inventory. Going through
my ~2000 inventoried minifigures would probably be a pain now (though the vast
majority of those came after the switch). However, I do think that this is an
issue that should be addressed if possible.

I have no idea how feasible this is, however, I wouldn't think that it would
be too hard to implement. What if figures that are known to have been discontinued
before the 1990-1991 switch had some programming done to change the way they
are uploaded to the catalog? It could be programmed into the system to have
a pop up message when a seller tries to add any of these figures to their inventory.
The message would says something along the lines of "These figures must have
Solid Stud Heads to be added to the catalog." Then on top of that the system
AUTOMATICALLY puts "-Solid Stud Head" in the comments section.

This would allow users that have already uploaded figures with hollow stud heads
to continue selling their figures, the catalog would slowly update to the correct
version, people would be able to see which figures have solid stud heads by looking
at the comments, a new catalog entry would not be necessary.

Once all the figures before implementation of this were deleted, the catalog
could then be updated to reflect the change to solid stud heads.

Obviously I am not a BrickLink admin, and I am sure people will find problems
with my idea, but I thought I would try to throw out a compromising solution.
Whether it is feasible or nor and whether it will solve the problem is up to
the admins and community. Just an idea.

-Pete

Pete,
I am all for having a sensible catalog, and one problem I foresee is if a seller
removes the listing for some reason and then wants to add it back later, but
now they might not have a complete figure with the correct head type as would
be required by this new implementation.

Perhaps there ought to be an undetermined head entry? Would this please both
sides?

In Suggestions, Rob_and_Shelagh writes:

Not sure if this one has been suggested before or not but I think it would be
usefull to have the option of an indicator somewhere obvious in a store to show
buyers if the store owner is currently in the system or not. As a store owner
I could then state on my splash page that any questions could be answered in
"xx minutes" if the indicator shows I'm logged in and "XXX minutes" if I'm
not. I could also set an "expected back in office time" message.
If this could be customisable by store it would be great. Sometimes as a buyer
you just don't know if a store can be bothered to answer your questions or
is simply not there. I know there is a last logged in feature but a) that is
only available to parties who have already transacted and b) it does not tell
you if the seller is still logged in or not.

Robert

Sounds like a good idea as long as there is some customization to it. Some have
expressed concerns with being logged in and inactive. I think having options
showing last time seller was active on BL would be nice. A chat option would
be great too, but I don't know how much of an overhaul that would require
as that feature was taken out for security concerns (perhaps?).

Additionally, it would also be useful for sellers to know if someone is currently
in the store or not at any moment, as sometimes it would be nice to do some inventory/pricing
work without disrupting buyer's shopping experience.

I don't know if this is already available but when I look at an inventory,
I'd like to see which parts are unique to that set. For example, UCS Falcon
(since it's everyone's favourite set to reference) has boat mast riggings
in LBG and they only appear in that set. It would be helpful when trying to part
together a set to know which pieces will be harder to find.

47996 Boat, Mast Rigging Long 28 x 3.5
Parts: Boat

Great suggestion. I wonder why Lego hasn't rereleased that part in that color
since 2007. Surely they could use it in other sets. They have done that with
the dark blue arch from The Street Market modular and they even mentioned it
in their Designer video. I guess, ultimately it adds to the cost of the set if
they have to initiate a special production run just for AFOLs sake, which would
cut into their profits. If they can justify multiple sets to use that piece in
that color, then the cost would get spread among multiple sets, but that piece
is a bit more specialized. Hopefully they bring back the UCS MF. It still lives
on in the episode VII movie as is shown toward the end of the teaser trailer.

Miro

I find most of the 'rumour' around a re-release is more about desperation
of wanting something, but not wanting the bill for it (despite the fact that
most people that want it are people that are perfectly fine accepting huge mark
ups for their own sets)

From a "LEGO" perspective, I don't know if they would call that set successful
or not. I think most people thought it was too expensive (especially since the
Taj Mahal had more pieces, but cost $200 less)

It had "only" a two year run, unlike the Death Star who has a Hogwarts Age spell
on it.

Now, would another sell well now, sure because people would buy it thinking it
will repeat the same trend after market and because of that, it would have no
chance.

I also think it's bad for Lego to re-release exact copies because what they
are re-enforcing is "there's no rush to buy it now, we'll make another
one later"

If they announced in January that they are having double VIP point in April,
I'm sure their sales would be reduced greatly until that point.
That's why there's a shorter window on something like that.

I know what you are saying. I am not that desperate to have one. Even if it did
come out, I have no idea where I'd put it. Afterall, I tend to prefer smaller
creations and build them myself. I am content either way. I totally get the reasoning
why they would not come out with another exact copy. I am sure they are less
concerned about the AFOL community and more about the majority of their market,
which is parents buying set for children. They would much rather not have to
hear from a bunch of angry parents why they can't get Elsa's palace for
their child than some small AFOL fan base, relatively speaking, of course.

Agreed. Generally mobile apps provide less features and Bricklink is a feature-full
site, so it would probably disappoint anyway. I also don't like it when some
sites force mobile devices to their mobile site for this reason.

The m.bricklink.com site is only practical for comparing prices and part out
values while physically in B&M stores, where you are using data service from
your cell provider and the full site takes longer to load. One added benefit
to the mobile site is that it allows you check on a set's part out value
while the inventory is pending approval, whereas the full site does not.

That works on the catalog screen, I think the OP wants it in other people's
stores though.

So, if I am looking in your store, not only should it display how many of each
piece you have, it also has to tell me how many I have in my store (including
stockrooms)

Yeah, I get it. It would be useful for builders. I know it would come handy for
me. I assume it could be just like any other feature that you can turn on/off.
Although at this point, I doubt it will be implemented in BL 1.0 as it would
most likely break other things.

Thank you! I will make the changes as soon as the corrected figure is approved.
Could you please also confirm if this figure's Legs, Assembly 92253c00pb01

Jen,

To make things even more complicated, I looked at the other legs that the part

92253c00pb01 Mini Doll Hips and Trousers with Back Pockets with Tan Shoes Pattern - Thick Hinge
Parts: Mini Doll, Legs

is assigned to and from the pictures it looked like the shoes
on fig

frnd043 (Inv) Friends Matthew - Dark Blue Trousers, Lime Polo Shirt
Minifigures: Friends

look different (pictured on the right), compared to tan shoes
from fig

frnd066 (Inv) Friends Andrew - Dark Blue Trousers, Medium Blue Polo Shirt, Blue Cap
Minifigures: Friends

(pictured on the left).

So I compared them and sure enough they are. The shoes on frnd066 are tan, but
on frnd043 don't match any color that I am aware of. See photo below.

I placed some known colors in front: from left to right the colors are Tan, Dark
Tan, Sand Green, Olive Green, Yellowish Green, and Lime. The shoes on frnd043
don't match any of them. Perhaps some of the color chart experts like Ryan
can chime in. He might be interested in those shoes.

Here are the rest of the figs with those legs, all but frnd043 look to have tan
shoes.

all appear to have dark blue as the base color of the part with tan shoes printed
on them. Check the bottom of the shoes and they are all dark blue. They also
have the number 92253 printed on the bottom of the shoes. My frnd043 minifigs
came with a mix of those same legs in sealed plastic bags and newer legs that
did not come in sealed plastic bags. Those legs have solid tan shoes (bottom
of the shoes is also tan) and have a different number printed on the bottom of
the shoes. It looks like 16406 but I often have trouble reading these small numbers
so I could be wrong about the number, but it's certainly not 92253.

look different (pictured on the right), compared to tan shoes
from fig

frnd066 (Inv) Friends Andrew - Dark Blue Trousers, Medium Blue Polo Shirt, Blue Cap

I don't really have a strong preference about the catalog. I've uploaded a minimal
amount of info to it and don't really care how it gets used/abused. I'm just
trying to explain some of the rationale I have seen in these discussions previously.

If I wanted to champion the release of BrickLink catalog data, I'd start the
argument with BrickStore. That is oddly omitted from many of these discussions.

The catalog is, and has always been, freely downloadable:

http://www.bricklink.com/catalogDownload.asp

All of it.

With no restrictions placed on it.

By design.

Dan was always more community oriented than commercially oriented and believed
in freely sharing information to foster the community. Yes this may lead to
some use that we do not like, but that was the tradeoff for for the positives.

Brickstore would be one of the positives. It gives users the ability to do things
that Dan either could not or would not support on BrickLink. It was a winning
situation for everyone. Dan didn't have to provide features that only a small
subset of users wanted/needed. Members still got the features they wanted.
The author of BrickStore was able to make some money to defray the cost of producing
the software. The only negative is that the software is no longer being developed.
But in true community spirit, it is open source, so people can continue the
development on their own.

I believe that Brickset would also be a positive for all involved, depending
on how it is implemented. I believe that Brickset has a wider reach than Bricklink
in that it reaches people outside the core AFOL market. As such, it could only
drive more traffic to BrickLink, which makes BL more money and makes BrickLink
sellers more money. The only issue to be resolved would be how to compensate
Brickset for sending the traffic.

Any agreement between the two sites could stipulate that the inventory and parts
catalog information could only be used to link back to BrickLink and not to other
competing sites. Brickset maintains its own catalog of set information so it
would remain free to continue to link set info to eBay and Amazon. There is
also potential for information to travel in the other direction as well. BrickLink
could use set reviews.

Troy

I am encouraged by the generally positive nature of the discussion this time,
and thank you to everyone who's putting the case forward for allowing it.

I understand the concern about Brickset promoting eBay and Amazon, your main
competitors, but I'm pleased to see that many of you recognise that it would
be better for you if it were to promote eBay, Amazon AND BrickLink.

To clarify a few points:

- If Brickset were to display set inventories, they would not appear on any page
that also showed eBay or Amazon links at the same time.

- Links on image/part numbers would lead directly to the appropriate place on
BrickLink (whatever you stipulate that to be, the catalogue or for sale list,
perhaps)

- Currently, Brickset does not promote eBay or Amazon when viewing minifigs and
that would be the case for parts. Data provided by BrickLink would NOT be used
to promote anything other than BrickLink and would not be made available to 3rd
parties.

- There would be no stress placed on the BrickLink system by retreiving the inventories,
as it would be a one-off exercise when one was first requested by a user, possibly
refreshed every couple of months.

- There would potentially be an increase in requests for images from the BL server,
but arguably no more than if someone viewed the inventory after clicking on a
link to view it at BrickLink. In most cases users' browsers would cache these
anyway so any increase would be negligible.

My motivations for wanting to do this have been questioned in the past, often
with suspicion. Of course I want to do it to make Brickset a better website which
provides its users with more information. But, in doing so I believe it can make
for a more joined-up community which will benefit BrickLink as much as it does
Brickset. As someone pointed out earlier, Brickset's demographic is very different
from BrickLink's and many of its users do not even know BrickLink exists, or
are suspicious of it. There are several discussions in the forum where this has
been raised.

Finally, I have a working prototype showing how I would like to integrate BrickLink
inventories into Brickset and I can make it available for testing to anyone that's
interested. Drop me an email (huw@brickset.com) with your Brickset username.
(I wrote all the code to do so a few years ago but have never made it publicly
available)

Thank you for reading this. I welcome your comments. I would also welcome knowing
who ultimately can make a decision to allow this.

Huw

It has been 19 months since any more posts were done on this topic. Ownership
has changed hands on Bricklink and I am curious to know if the stance has changed
at all. I am not familiar with the history between Brickset and Bricklink, but
I think this would help both parties. Afterall, BrickOwl is already on both Brickset
and Rebrickable. Times are changing, what is Bricklink's stance now?

Bricklink is a Global marketplace. Awesome. So let's looks like one.

Not sure if it is just the American in me, but logging in to a site and seeing
a little red Chinese flag in the corner of the site with some chinese characters
next to it, just sets off a lot of little alarm bells in my head. It reminds
me of that movie with Sandra Bullock, The Net, where there was a little hidden
symbol on a page and when you clicked on it you were taken to somewhere bad.

If I were a new user and unfamiliar with the site that little icon might make
me think twice about using the site.

Why not do this like most other Global companies do it. Have the main domain
go to a splash page of sorts. A very plain page with a Large Bricklink logo
in the middle and right below it a dropdown box that says choose your location.
Then for now they can have North America and China (the only two localizations
currently available) then as other languages are made available you can easily
add the links for those to the dropdown and users can be directed the the version
that best suits them. Also below that dropdown box have a checkbox that says
Remember this setting on my computer. Checking this box will create a cookie
file so that the next time the user comes to the site they will be auto-directed
to the proper site.

Here are some examples of other companies that use this approach:

http://www.ups.com/
http://www.fedex.com/

Option 2 - You could do what companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google and many
others do and that is route the user based on their IP address. For instance
when I go to http://www.microsoft.com I am seamlessly redirected to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx
with no interaction on my part. And then at the bottom left side of the page
they have a picture of a globe, not a US Flag mind you, with the words United
States - English after the globe. If I click on that it takes me to a page when
I can then pick a different localization if for some reason I didn't want
to be on the US site. I know though that this option can be problematic espeically
for people who may be visiting or temporarily living outside of their home country
that they may want to view the site in.

Or Option 3 - If the above 2 take too long to implement. For now just remove
the Chinese flag!! Chinese in this case is a language, you shouldn't need
a national flag to represent that. Isn't the Chinese language used by
more people than just those living in China? Plus, When you click on the link,
to come back it just says Eng? No British or US flag? So why do you feel the
need for the China National flag? Also move the link to the footer of the page,
not the header. Most of the other large sites I am looking at have it in the
footer. And most are just simple text links. Look at Amazon.com for another
example. So internet users are used to having to look for it in the footer,
if they need it. Plus in the upper right there, what happens if you add even
more localizations, are you going to have 30 flags up there in that little tiny
space?

Now I know I gave you 3 options so since they don't give us an option for
a poll in the forum it will be hard to vote on. So how about this, A yes vote
just means that Bricklink needs to look at these options and do something to
change the way localization is currently. A no vote means you are 100% happy
with the way they rolled it out so far

Voted yes. It was the first thing that I saw. It's quite annoying to have
it stare at your face regardless what page of Bricklink you are on.

Just try clicking on the Chinese character next to the flag from this page

You are right that it might not be easy to add. But if BrickLink implements

I guess there would need to also be a clear definition of what would constitute
as a utensile/weapon that correspons with a minifigure. Would it only be acceptable
if it is included in the initial assembly of the figure? Or maybe if it is being
used/held at the end of the instructions as well? That would have to be determined.

Also, while at it, also include the alternate headgear (hair vs helmet) that

Re: Wanted List Improvements

Two improvements to the wanted list would greatly increase the workflow of buying
pieces on the site.

1. Quantity, the actual quantity desired not the minimum. I can understand the
reasons for the min quantity, however I believe the desired quantity would be
much more useful. With this information two new abilities can be done.
- As we order parts the quantity could automatically lower.
- The item count in "by shop" could be limited to our desired quantity making
it reflect our desire for there parts versus there stockpile of a single part.

2. Bulk Wanted List Load.
I would be nice to load say 100 parts at once using CSV.

Somewhat of a workaround is to put the quantity desired in the Remarks field
for each item in your wanted list. This is especially practical with large wanted
lists containing large quantities that one store is not likely to carry all of
it.

I also put an average price next to it so that when I search stores I can quickly
see if they have the quantity at a right price. The remarks do show up in the
stores when Wanted list search is being utilized.

Enable a viewer traffic/view counter for items in the store to give the seller

much from within the store. There could be monthly stats for those lots. I understand
this would be an additional task and perhaps too resource consuming for the site,
but perhaps something useful might come of it. I know some might say, if it hasn't
sold, it's priced too high. So there you go.

Miro

I assume that this would have to be per lot, rather than per item - although
may be a good incentive for consolidation of lots where the items are the same.

And then, there might be a problem if lots are completely sold out and restocked,
unless they are relisted under the old lot number instead of freshly listing
them.

They could also do a more global most searched for or most viewed in price guide
for the whole site rather than per store.

There are many ways to tackle this. I am leaving it open to what would make most
sense to the community. However, I bring this up, because the sellers are pretty
much left in the dark when it comes to any sort of information on how much traffic
certain items bring to the store.

Sure we know when items sell, but we don't know what brought them to the
store in the first place. I don't know how much sense a seller might be able
to make from this information on an individual item stat, so perhaps some sort
of a summary page to go along with ranking of the top 50, 100 or all lots based
on # clicks to that item from either price guide or item for sale search that
would be updated once a day.

Enable for the store to track buyer's accumulated purchase total for lifetime/period
to enable a point reward system, kind of like VIP points on S@H site. This way,
once the seller sees that a seller has purchased X amount total in the store,
he/she could offer freebies, discounts, raffle/contest point accumulation, etc.
This could be an opt in option for the seller, in case some have a problems displaying
it to their buyers, as if this expensive Lego addiction wasn't obvious already.

Probably the best solution would be to treat these something like VIP points
at lego shop at home site. The points can be then redeemed for either purchases
at any participating store, MOC shop or for BL monthly fee dues.

The way it would be handled from buyer to seller for purchases, would be by a
direct point transfer from buyer to the seller. The seller than would use these
for BL monthly fee reduction, MOC shop or other BL store purchases.

The reason I state that the buyer could use them with "participating" stores
is because some people want only cash and not point transfers, however, those
sellers that would accept them would in return gain the customer. The seller
could always set a limit that only an X % or X $ amount of points can be used
for any single purchase, to give the seller some flexibility.

I think this system would work for all the parties, buyer, seller and BL.

What do you think?

Miro

I'm not voting, just pointing something out.

Who will do all the bookwork for these points? Will BrickLink end up paying
someone to do it, or will it become another chore for the volunteer admins?

Thea
Always Learning!
(used to be a bookkeeper)

I think it would be automated. No different than fee accumulation, and any other
data that BL is handling at the moment. This site is already set up for this
sort of information.

However, with the state the BL 1.0 is and the limitation of what can and cannot
be handled, I don't see this being implemented until BL 3.0 rolls out.

Regarding previous entries, it's up to BL how they want to award those members.
If not with the current point system, then perhaps with some sort of a gift.
Although I think many would be happy to see the change of catalog ownership being
transferred back to the communities' hands, and have BL be the site that
hosts and benefits from it. I hope I am not reopening this debate all over again.

At this day, only BAD behaviour is santioned (NSS, NPB's, site and forum

I like this idea. I think if it was handled as a point system, that way after
accumulating certain amount of points, one could choose how one wants to be rewarded.
Don't forget that some contributors are not sellers, but buyers only. So
there will need to be a reward system in the form a free set, coupon to any store,
etc.

Although I do not know if the quality of the inventories, pictures and such would
improve or not, as some may be hasty to get it done. However, submissions can
be declined if they don't meet quality and completeness standards. Perhaps
the submitter can be given another try within a timeframe to correct the listing

Bricklink to compare the parts in that set against my wish lists, so I could
identify what I no longer needed.

If not, does anybody think that'd be helpful?

Already exists.
Part out the set.
Then check 'items on my wishlist' http://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp

But you can't buy from yourself, so then you have to remove items from store
manually, or part out using -1 qty feature and adjust item quantities to reflect
the items needed/not needed. Still somewhat manual, but more automated, so having
2 browser windows open would help with that.

For sorting search results.

Say you want 240 of some part, you put in "Min Qty: 240"

Seller 1 has "500x at 0.10 each"

Seller 2 has "400x at 0.12 each; buy 50 or more for 0.09 each"

The current sort will show seller 1 first, but the cheapest option (all other
things being equal) would be seller 2.

A Sort by "Best Price at Min Qty" would sort by the price of the highest bulk
tier under the specified "Min Qty" of each listing.

Another option could take into account savings if the min qty is near a bulk
tier. E.g. Seller 3 has "buy 250 or more for 0.08 each" - buying 250 from this
seller costs less than buying 240 from seller 2.

Good suggestion. Don't forget to also include the possibility that seller
3 may have 2 or more lots of the identical item totaling the desired quantity,
but not in each individual lot alone. Perhaps also adding the option to pool
new and used lots via a checkbox for all items on wanted list or individual lots
on wanted list.
