| The problem is consistency. If Jek-14 and Ezra Bridger are both listed with 'a'
variants due to one having a helmet and the other having hair, then Poe should
also follow suit. This is why the change was requested.
If, as suggested by Graeme above, the letter suffix would only be applied to
variants found within the same set then both of those examples are also invalid.
The first instance of the minifigure assembly within the instructions is a good
standard that clearly allows for a definition of a new minifig variant.
At the same time we are now counting stickered bricks as a minifigure.. this
makes even less sense in my opinion.
Best,
Kevin

| Also, these helmet/hair variants are just crazy....
sw0737 even comes with a helmet in the set, it’s just not shown wearing it on
the instructions.
The new entry should be labelled as without hair.
Same goes for the Jek-14 fig sw0475a, it’s the same fig as sw0475 just without
hair.
The rules need to be reviewed for figs that have either helmet or hair, or indeed
both.

I tried submitting a change request to sw1144 but that was pending for the upcoming
Blue Milk Luke fig (my submission), which I have now changed to sw1146, making
sw1144 available again for randyf to amend his change request, should he wish.
I noticed the fig was originally added under sw1144 but was then changed, this
is wrong imo.

Looks like it is Hufflepuff Quidditch player Cedric Diggory:
https://www.brickfanatics.com/new-lego-harry-potter-book-includes-first-hufflepuff-quidditch-player/
Publishers release date is 1 June 2021, so probably won't be in the BL catalogue
until then.

But they can't be all be normal because in the picture, the ones on the left

Many of the older ones do not have the logo. Some have 'Pat Pend', some
have those words scratched out. Some don't even have either. All have mold

Oh thats a shame to hear.... having glanced over your previous post I think I
pretty much agree with your proposal as I've just posted similar in this
thread though you may think some of my examples go a step too far with just relying
on different print decal but that is as least how I truly see minifigs being
unique enough to warrant their own ID

If anything those Yoda’s are actually more similar to each other than the Poe
and so if we’re adding the letter ‘a’ to the end for similar items then we should
probably start with renaming them as sw0471 and sw0471a if we insist on keeping
the one with the bracket in the catalog?
Likewise the same for minifigs like these (jwo23 and jwo23a for backpack)
I would even extend further by saying maybe minifigures should only warrant a
new/unique reference where the minifig specifically has unique print decal be
that on the head, torso ,legs etc… the point being that adding a backpack, changing
the colour legs or style of hair is essentially just accessorising that same
minifigure differently thereby these Han’s would become sw0612, sw0612a, sw0612b
And even these Zane’s although they may look very different they are still essentially
the same minifig with the same print decal on the head and torso and just accessorised
differently and so may benefit from njo106 and njo106a:-

I don't mind either way, but just want consistency. Especially as these feed
into other sites that use minifigure definitions based on BL.
And nice to see you again! I hope you are getting more time for bug hunting or

Minifigure is included in set 75149 and comes with helmet and hair piece.
In the past we often had Minifigures that had both helmet and hair piece but
they were only listed once in the catalog e.g. sw0416, sw0772, sw0407 ...
Why is Poe now listed twice as sw0737 with hair and as sw0737a with helmet?

The 4 black circles are clearly on the 2x2 brick, so I think the way it is now
is how it should be.

| I checked my own set and can confirm that the sticker is too big to fit on one
brick, so the current catalog entry for this stickered counterpart should be
replaced by a stickered assembly.

Clearly the sticker on the stickersheet is larger than the side of a 2x2 brick,
so it does not fit on 1 brick and should be placed on 2 bricks. The stove is
2 bricks high so that is very well possible.
IMO the entry with the sticker on 1 brick is wrong, it should be an assembly
with 2 bricks.

There was. There was a serious bug where each time you did a part out and the
item was already in your inventory, the remarks would be voided. THEN how would
you find the part..  the thought of having my entire inventory sorted by it
scares me a bit. I've used the remarks field for locating minifig parts within
the minifig category, but that bug made it a disaster. The bug was fixed and
then just reappeared again - which is often the case when Bricklink "fixes" something.
I believe this is fixed now so sure, it's reasonable to use it. But I just
don't dare - I'm just a coward I guess.. so you see, you can never be
100% safe.
Besides, my remarks field are used for my software to execute my pricing policy
and keep stats (If those get deleted, it's not a big deal)
|
The remark being voided during upload is most likely an issue with the default
settings you have for uploads. I've been using this for years in conjunction
with BrickStock and bricksync and have never had a real issue.
bricksync allows for nightly automated backups so I don't lose the remarks
and anything else and the price differences within BrickStock are minimal and
mostly based upon the settings the user controls.
If you are going to put yourself through rearranging your store bi-yearly, I'd
reconsider your options. I'd hate for a fellow seller to have to continually
put themselves through that when better solutions are available.

No, really, it was a bug. To be precise, it happened when you would select "concatenate
old and new remarks". Those remarks didn't get concatenated but just deleted.
Not just for me, for everyone. It was confirmed by Bricklink and fixed, then
it popped up again, then it was fozed again.
Well, you rely on third party software.. IMO it's more risky than relying
on what is part of Bricklink itself in terms of whose interest it is to keep
it working. (Luckily for you ryough, it seems the new Brickstore is going to
enjoy some decent community maintenance) By the way, you are in the US, so yes,
then the Vat problem than BrickStock has doesn't affect you and the prices
should be fairly accurate.
|
I always forget about the VAT issues you guys have with BrickStock. That would
make a considerable difference but wouldn't making the adjustment for VAT
after querying the US based prices fix that? Just trying to understand better
so I can be of some assistance.
What is this new Brick Store 2021 that I keep reading about? I licensed BrickStock,
which came after the original BrickStore was retired.
It's true I do rely upon a 3rd party tool or two but I get the feeling from
the way these applications are developed that they creators have a better understanding
of what a seller needs and uses. I have reference files for it to pull prices
or locations from and I control my data and don't have to rely that a database
that I have no control over will always be available. Since I seem to experience
the BrickLink blackout daily, I try to work around the deficiency.
|
Well, the problem with BrickStock and VAT is that it's a variable discrepancy,
so you can't really correct it. For example, if some part is only being sold
by VAT registered stores, then the average will be some 20% lower. But, if it's
only non-VAT registered stores selling it, the number is accurate - well, sort
of... I don't entirely understand it either but sometimes it's just a
bit off.
We're talking about like 5% here really, for many users it's just not
a big deal. The reason that it matters to me is not so much about the money,
but about how long it takes to sell things. I like to have some control there
and I noticed my price level have a huge influence on that.
Relying on BrickStock is OK I think, we've seen the catalog is an uncertain
factor too and life is uncertain in general Just a personal defensive attitude
that I prefer to work with just Bricklink and what I can make. Plus, I just really
like it when the identity of a part directly tells you where it is, so no additional
layer of administration there, even if it's easy to maintain. Thanks for
offering your thoughts, I think I should be okay - either the catalog has settled
down by the time I have more time for selling here, or I should be able to make
some tool that generates remark fields with my own categories, based on the part
number. That way things keep having a fixed place and I don't have to worry
about location management 
|
I do wish you luck with your style of organizing vs the catalog. The new minifig
head mold alone would make me change but everyone's style is their own I
do give you credit for using by part number.
|
Aaaaactually here you stumbled upon something that's nice about catalog based
sorting. There will be a main bag with a bag for each type inside (one bag for
1x1 plates with thick U-clips, one for thin, one for O-clips, ...). So whenever
the inventory is off, because of some set inventory mistake or a mistake during
part-out, and a buyer buys 10 of that part, you open the drawer and notice immediately
"hey, instead of 10, I have 2 of the one type and 8 of the other". So you can
A: adjust your inventory immediately and B: Give the buyer the other type free
of charge, or ask them if it matters.

I could explain why, but the thing is that I think the new BrickStore does it
pretty well, Bricklink says 3.99, BrickStore 2021 says 3.988 and Brickstock says
3.93 for a part I checked.
