| I might have missed something about this, but are there going to be movements
in the 6 main item types on 1 October as well?
So are there gear items moving to sets?
Are there animals moving to the figures category?
Are there printed parts moving to the figures category?
Is the minifigure main type being renamed to figures?
Or is that catalogue project still going to remain open?

Comments from Submitter:
This container is pre-assembled, so the pre-assembled part should be the regular inventory only. It does require some force to split the assembled parts, so I doubt the split parts can be listed as new. Should have picked this up when I did the inventories, apologies.

| Refer:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1220057
Would it not be simpler to write a guideline, add the catalogue dimensions for
odd sized parts and do away with this issue of having packaging dimensions added
once in lifetime by forum request?
The standard 2 x 4 brick has the following catalogue dimensions:
2 x 4 x 1
Its current packaging dimensions are:
16 x 32 x 11.2
The correct millimeter dimensions to 2 decimals are:
15.86 x 31.72 x 11.40
So:
DimX for 1 Stud: 7.93;
DimY for 1 stud: 7.93;
DimZ for 1 stud: 11.40
So by having the correct standard measure of the standard in LEGO terms (a 2
x 4 brick), now the stud measurement of any part can be worked out and added:
So for [p=66954c01]
we have 10.40 x 54.42 x 5.01
Catalogue dimensions: 1.31 x 6.86 x 0.44
Packaging dimensions as a result: DimX: 10.39, Dim Y: 54.40, Dim Z:5.02
There is still a minor rounding error, but that would still be infinitely better
than the nothing error we have at present.
And for it stays 2 x 4 x 1 or DimX: 15.86, DimY: 31.72, DimZ:11.40
That should then translate packaging dimensions as near as possible (personally
I would prefer catalogue dims to 4 decimals (for 1.3115 x 6.8625 x 0.4395 in
part 66954c* as above but lets not be pedantic) as soon as a member adds catalogue
dimensions. Certainly this will be much easier than the current cobbled together
system where some parts have odd dimensions and others not and where some parts
have incorrect packaging dimensions as a result of these not being tied to the
catalogue dimensions when added through forum requests.
[p=3626c] which is apparently not difficult to measure, but

is.
Then the only thing admin has to, by request, do in between everything else is
to mark defaults for volume and weight until such time as long suffering members
can request a change to that directly.
Here I'll help you
Catalogue dimensions must be added in relation to the actual measurement of
a part in millimeters as follows: W: 7.93mm = 1 stud; L: 7.93mm = 1 stud; H:
11.40 mm = 1 stud.
And then add a roadmap project to get these dimensions fixed along with the decorated
part weights asap, same form same time same approval. Easy.

| Author: | bje | | Posted: | Aug 13, 2020 04:26 | | Subject: | Do not default new parts as weight bound | | Viewed: | 96 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Open | | Vote: | [Yes|No] | |
| When new parts are added to the catalogue and these parts have only a catalogue
weight, please do not default the item to weight bound for packaging type. Just
as IC is not possible if the item does not have a weight entered for the catalogue,
it should be just as impossible for IC if the volume is patently a problem.
This seems to be the only workaround at this time to make the inventory search
function for "Instant Checkout Unavailable" useful.
Case in point this part, which do not appear on that list even though all of
the information to determine whether or not IC should be applied, is not provided:
* | | 67138 Aircraft Fuselage Forward Bottom Curved 6 x 24 x 1 1/3 with 4 x 21 Recessed Center and 12 x 6 Wings, 20 Holes
Parts: Aircraft |
This part qualifies for IC, will fit my requirements for medium letter by weight,
but is in fact a small packet due to its height, the cost difference is 250%.
The argument that IC is useful enough without being too precise is not valid
if BL do not give sellers the reporting tools required. Setting defaults with
the potential of causing sellers financial loss, without giving sellers the opportunity
to address the issue on listing the item, is not useful.

| Please add a line for "Orders in this store" to the quote page. I cannot remember
the user name of every buyer so I will miss return buyers and quote incorrectly,
leading to acceptance and costly financial transactions to refund discount monies
which should never have been paid. Sometimes buyers forget they have coupons
or to ask for the coupon or coupons expire in which case I have to add those
discounts manually on quote. It is a bit difficult to quote correctly if not
all of the information is available.

| On checkout from my store, please stop:
Pre-selecting a shipping method in my store for any buyer to use.
I cannot and do not set those defaults. BL cannot assume for itself the right
to pick and choose defaults for any contractually determined matter between myself
and the buyer, on my behalf. The shipping method to use is the one the buyer
actively chooses.
I had an order this morning where the buyer told me in prior negotiation what
he wanted. He was then able to place an order using a different shipping method.
This because that experienced buyer did not think to change what was pre-selected
by BL during checkout.
I also had an order last week from a new user who did exactly the same thing.
It is not for BL to choose what shipping method is applicable for any buyer.

| Author: | bje | | Posted: | Jun 30, 2020 07:05 | | Subject: | Sets Members Want Project | | Viewed: | 132 times | | Topic: | Catalog | | Status: | Open | |
| From the to-do list:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476
Add Sets Members Want - A project to discuss and possibly add pickable
models, in-store builds, and other similar sets to the catalog...
Project Review: This project traveled directly from under consideration to completed.
There were no existing guidelines discussing these kinds of sets, so no policy
changes were required. Instead, after administrative discussion, the majority
were in agreement to rescind the unwritten rule that prohibited addition of these
sets.
Date first added: December 6th, 2018
Date work began: June 13th, 2020
Goal for completion: July 1st, 2020
Date actually completed: June 17th, 2020
Suggested by: Many members
Maybe this is not so complete as catmins would like to believe it is as it appears
that none of those sets are in the catalogue at this time.
Also:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1204676
seems to be voided now.
So perhaps this project should be set to under consideration again just so the
ball is not dropped and the technical issues, whatever those may be, can be addressed
before the goal date. I would dearly like to believe that BL will eventually
give members what they want.

| I have some from sets between 2008 and 2010 that have a white
knot on the tie and Light Grey lapels, sides and button prints, as in the part
on the left in the image.
The assembly on the right is from sets in 2007, 2010 and 2013, which has the
same torso as the current entry for this part - black knot and Dark Grey lapels,
sides and button prints, on the right in the image.
Is this a misprint on those torsos I have or is it a differrent torso altogether?

I have one of these from but mine have all 4 studs as solid studs
and no hollow studs. Are the renders for this part correct or is mine an undocumented
variant?
