| 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)

missing packing dimensions.

| | We are pleased to announce that a major new feature was deployed to the catalog
today - Packing Dimensions!
We started a Packaging Dimensions Topic in the Forum in the Fall of 2017 so that
members could input dimensions to help Instant Checkout work properly. It was
only supposed to be a temporary solution, and it took a lot of time and dedication
for both contributors and admins to handle each request manually.
Now there is much better way - just input the data like you would any other catalog
data. Notice the upgrade to the Change Item form:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=P
The first thing, though, that we want to tell you about this new feature is that
it's only a start. This is actually just phase 1 out of 3 phases. We did
it this way so we could get the basic functionality opened up as soon as possible.
This means that the Add Item form does not have Packing Dimensions input fields,
and we haven't touched the seller interface either which still shows millimeters
and only allows the upload of custom dimensions.
We are also a bit behind on the new Help Page:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2510
There are 4 areas we still need to tackle with the Help Page: Minifigures, Gear,
Books, and Catalogs. Those sections will be filled out over the next few days.
If you could please hold off on uploading dimensions for those Item Types until
the Help Pages are finished, it would be appreciated.
As you may have noticed, we changed the name from Packaging Dimensions to Packing
Dimensions. Let us know what you think and of course report any bugs. And there
is no need to post in the Packaging Dimensions Topic any more. We'll keep
it there for a while in case something happens to our new system, but when we
wrap up with phase 3, we will officially decommission that part of the Forum.

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.
