I have a LEGO green baseplate with 16 x 21 studs, which does not seem to exist
on Bricklink (one size smaller is 16 x 18 and one bigger is 16 x 22). It is a
genuine LEGO baseplate, which is not cut, not broken or damaged whatsoever so
I'm wondering to which set this baseplate might belong. I suspect something
from Fabuland 3664 since I have other bricks from this set, but I'm not sure.
Can someone help me out? Picture is uploaded.

These were cut in the factory.
I do not know if it was done by an employee with a ‘cuttingmachine’ but maybe
it was miscalculated.
So a really nice survivor.

Can I sell this item on Bricklink?

Greetings BrickLink catalog enthusiasts!

You will be pleased to learn that we have just today appointed a new Catalog
Associate - Randyf. Randy has served as an Inventories Administrator for the
last couple years and has done a fantastic job. We feel this promotion, though
it has been long in coming, is very well deserved.

As a reminder to those who are still learning about the BrickLink Community Expert
Program, the Catalog Associate position gives admin privileges over the entire
catalog half of our BrickLink system. After one year's experience, Catalog
Associates are eligible for promotion to full Catalog Admin, which gives them
full privileges on both sides, for both catalog and inventories.

https://www.bricklink.com/memberAdmins.asp

We plan to update the Hall of Fame page very soon. There are several things to
add, including Randy's time serving as Inventory Admin.

Please welcome our new associate!

Thanks for your efforts Randy!

A friend of mine has informed me of a promotional set "Kamille" given out to
children at one or more LEGO events by the Danish supermarket "Bilka". Kamille
is one of the supermarket's mascots. The set came in a LEGO zip-lock bag,
and it's unknown whether or not it came with instructions in the bag, it
may have been available only to the event hosts. A PDF version of the instructions
have been made available by Bilka on request.

Please see attached images.

Is this a set that is allowed to be put on BL?

/Jan

I don't see any reason why not; plenty of promotional sets are sold here
on BrickLink. You'll need to create a catalog entry for it first, though.

Yes, the catalog, that's the only thing I'm interested in. I don't
think she plans on selling the set. Because the set doesn't come with building
instructions, I don't believe it's actually worth much (it's just
standard bricks in a standard LEGO zip-lock bag).

Actually, I've found out that there is more than this single promotional
set from the events. There seems to be at least 4 others. I'll dig into it
and try to get my hands on some details.

In May of last year, we experienced a surge of requests from the community which
resulted in an overload of the manual process. We had been planning to add Packing
Dimensions to the standard catalog change forms from the beginning, as can be
seen from a footnote to the original Forum article on Packing Dimensions in October
2017:

2) integration of the System Packaging Dimensions field into catalog submission
forms

But it was really the gentle push from the community that put this project on
the priority list.

Looking for set image from Dacta (?) catalog

Viewed:

63 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

I'm hoping someone with Dacta catalogs from the mid(?) 1990's (perhaps
1993 - 1997) can help.

I recently acquired a somewhat obscure Control Lab set:

2001188-1 Let's Go, First Computer Control Literature and Software Pack
1995
Sets: Educational & Dacta

which I am in the process of creating the catalog inventory for. There don't
appear to be any references to this set of most of the other standard sites (e,g,
brickset, peeron) and the only image I could find of this set was at http://www.miniland.nl/Dacta/sets/2001187.htm.
The set in question is the set in the yellow case at the rear of the photo.

Via the wayback machine, I've had a trawl through LEGO's various sites
and have had no joy in finding any image for this set. Based on what I have found,
my presumption is that this set would have been listed in a Dacta catalog from
sometime in the mid-1990s - it may be that this set only was for sale in the
UK/Europe, although that is speculation on my behalf.

I was wondering whether anybody with Dacta catalogs from the mid-1990's would
be willing to take a look through their catalogs to see if they can find an image
for the set. My photo skills are "lacking" and if an image for the set is available
in a catalog, it will likely be better than any photo I add. If you do find an
image for the set, would you please submit it as the image for this set. I'd
also appreciate it if you would send me a copy of the image too please, as I
would like to be able to add this set to rebrickable.com.

Thank you and regards,

David

I recently bought YELLOW axles 50450 from a dealer on Bricklink offering them
in quantities at a reasonable price.

After arriving I noticed these axles being a bit lighter of colour. Because the
are more colour varieties I wasn't alarmed directly.

But when I looked a bit closer to the axles I also noticed the 'cross'
on the edge of the axle was a bit less sharp. I think normally there is a dimple
at one of the ends- these axes don't have one.

The combination of a quantity offer of this part, the colour difference and the
slightly rougher shape raises some questions.

If it is original: Perfect. If it isn't: How could we stop this? I guess
99% of the customers won't notice.

Or is it simply the end of the premium prices for this sort of parts??
Or place a warning with a clear description of the original?

* Do they have similar clutch power to the other axles? This is the first thing
to test. If not, might be an indication that they are indeed fake.
* Newer 32L axles should have ©LEGO and a mould number on them - at one of the
ends. NO mould pip at the (other) end.
* No idea if this also concerns axles, but recently we have been finding a scary
amount of pieces to be manufactured from that new bio-plastic crap. Does the
surface of those axles feel the same, and do they sound the same?

Thanks! The white 32 clearly has LEGO, the yellow one doesn't have it. The
material is the same. Clutch power not tested yet. So the question is: Do all
original 32 axles have the LEGO sign. Main difference is the cross the 32 had
slightly undeeper grooves and the cross is between 0,50- 1 mm thicker.

Mine don't have the lego sign. Although they are not as fat looking as yours.
Mine are from 2013 #60004.

Thanks! Yes the fat cross is the big question. But anyway you can see how difficult
it is to find out what is original and what isn't...and this is a bit worrying.
I started the whole post because I am reselling the parts and I want to be sure
that I sell original parts, especially because these parts fetch a large premium.
And of course the idea of paying 90 Euro for 10 axles that maybe can be bought
from Ali for 2 Euro all 10... free postage..If this is the case I don't blame
the seller directly, because there may be more chains in the selling process..but
if it are really fake parts someone is making a giant profit...

I have a couple of used, genuine of the 32 long axles.

They do not have dimples on the ends, they are flat ends. They also appear slightly
lighter than flat yellow parts but this might be an effect of the way light bounces
off them as they are a much smaller flat surface area compared to a tile for
example.

I sure won't win the photo competition and I hope it is clear.

Left: shorter yellow axle. Middle: the yellow 32 axle. Right: the white 32 axle.

Although the photo is not the best you can see that the yellow 32 has not ther
sharp cross the other axles have.

The dimple in the black or white axles I have is very tiny.

When I compare the cross of the white and black axle 32 with this of the yellow

We are sad to inform you that our Catalog Adminstrator StormChaser is no longer
part of the Community Expert Program.

Not sure why anyone is surprised about this. There was a big catalog dump that
was largely stormchaser’s baby and it was mostly cancelled at the last minute.
Was he frustrated, probably. Is this the first time he has left BL, no. This
might not be the last we see of stormchaser. He had big ambitions, but it looks
like he wasn’t given the freedom to execute his vision. Maybe BL was right to
not make too many catalog changes at once, but maybe not... Either way, when
you get paid to do a job, it’s important to do your best within the parameters
of that job. I’m just guessing, but I think he was just ahead of his time at
BL. All the best!

Did you check the packet throughly? Sometimes cloth elements can stick to the

We are pleased to announce that a major new feature was deployed to the catalog
today - Packing Dimensions!

Today the last bug was fixed for the new Packing Dimensions Project, Phase 1.
Contributors may now use the question mark link on the catalog detail page to
quickly and easily submit a missing Packaging Dimension (see Image 1).

271pb05 HO Scale, Accessory Policeman One Hand Left
Parts: HO 1:87 Vehicles

If the question mark isn't working as a link, it's not a bug - just go
to your Catalog Settings page and check the box (see Image 2):

Show Links to Add Weight and Dimensions

...and be sure to save your settings.

A full 7 months before the April 6 release of this feature, on Sep 6 of last
year I opened a new Forum Topic called Packing Dimensions X, to make it easier
to handle the large backlog of requests that had built up earlier in the year.

When I opened the topic, I actually asked people NOT to contribute except when
necessary:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1220218

As a matter of consideration, please don't add dimensions for parts with
every side under 20mm.

And then on Oct 6, I asked for the following:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1225859

...until we get a tool that goes through the normal approval channels (which
is coming in the next few weeks), please do not submit measurements for an entire
set of [300] decorated parts...

However, now that the tool is ready to use, I would like to officially remove
all restrictions from submitting Packing Dimensions. We are planning to open
up some other forms and give you some handy filters to find missing dimensions
- this will be in Phases 2 and 3. But for now, the paved road is finally open,
so drive on through!

I'd also like to include a little chart showing the effect of releasing this
tool (see Image 3). And we still have 4 more days to go in April.

I saw the blue ? before I saw the forum post. That should speed things up.

Part

23229pack (Inv) Rubber Band Extra Small (Square Cross Section), 7 in Bag (Multipack)

has a note displaying what sets it is in, however the catalogue states it doesn't
show in any sets. I was thinking of adding them as alternates to the sets but
thought I should get others opinions first. Should I add it as an Alternate,
Counterpart, Regular or Extra?

Regards,

They are already in the inventory, as regular and extra parts. This is similar
to other parts that come in card boxes to protect them.

Are misprints even worth anything on top of the original value? I know some people
like to collect them.

This will be worth more, as it is a nice one that can also be used for variation
and not just curiousity. Did you get it in a set, or in a lot? I think one of
the Chinese sellers that do missing print / bad print parts was selling that
one a few years ago. I bought a lot of LOTR parts that were missing paint from
them but didn't really pay too much attention to the SW parts. I remember
that they had a lot of partially printed ewok heads.

Very collectable from what i've seen and most if not all have higher values
because of it, i don't collect them specifically but we've had a few
come through our way and i have them all bagged in a draw, like my little treasure
box, my fave so far is Theoden's armour, the printing is on the back instead
of the front, always nice to get something a little more quirky.

I'm not a huge SW fan so I don't think I'll keep it, I think there
are others who will treasure it more than me!

Hi all,

I recently came across this Jar Jar Binks head (pictured on the right) and I
can't seem to identify it on BL. It is not like any of the three variants
of the mold. I think it could be misprint of 92743pb03 (which is pictured on
the left).

If I am horribly wrong please point me in the right direction! My Star Wars knowledge
is not the best!

What was wrong with sw1144?

Poe Dameron started out life as sw1144 - then was changed to sw0737a which caused
the problem:

In the meantime yoda was approved as sw1144 but we shouldn't reuse numbers
as it causes other problems.

So sw1144 now does to be left unused which is why yoda was moved.
