| Ok I tested it for a bit. I added 20 things, bricks from disparate themes, even
a power transformator id 70928.
I think the new page is good. I can add stud- and packing-dimensions at the same
time. There is some error checking on our measures, preventing blunders. Zero
is allowed, we can use that with multiple meanings, better to give us guidance
maybe?
We disperately need the search engine now.
I spent hundreds of clicks just to find parts needing a caliper job. I won't
do that again (note: I'm not seller so can't fiddle with that famous
flag)

There are 4 areas we still need to tackle with the Help Page: Minifigures, Gear,

If you could please hold off on uploading dimensions for those Item Types until
the Help Pages are finished, it would be appreciated.

All, please note that the dimensions you fill in are CM (not MM), I now see very
large items coming up.
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=87079pb912#T=C&C=110
for example. It is a 2x4 tile, but now has dimensions "Pack. Dim.: 16 x 32 x
3 cm"

| How will this be used? Will we be able to set up a shipping method that is only
allowed if all pieces are under a certain thickness? (i.i USPS large envelope/flat)
So the checkout would need to find the smallest of the three dimensions for each
element in the cart, and make sure it is below the threshold.
Or is it just to better approximate the total volume of the order?

The inventory has been pending for some time, but I believe I remember checking
that. I will check again this evening.

And did your set really come with

That would be very unusal for a set from 2004. Maybe it is a later copy, but
then I would expect it to be the 2005 version.

I will double check that for you also. But you might note that the 2004 and
2005 sets were both added to the catalog by me. This inventory for the 2004
set was built from the same 2004 set I bought to create the set listing in the
first place.

| Finally!
A few questions about this feature.
Are the dimensions also available in the API? Or do we need to scrape the from
the different pages?
Does IC still use the 0 and ? as 0 (zero)thickness or will this be an manual
invoice type only?

There is also a typo on the hell page for the flattened tractor box. It should
