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!

In general I know quite a bit about Minecraft in general and have successfully

Ask me, I gladly help!

A couple of days ago this part was reserved, but it has been cancelled. I'm
now able to add the inventory (done, pending) and change dimensions etc. (partly

Right, it won't show up under "all" unless there's one actually for sale;
it won't show up under "known" unless there's a set that has the hair

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.

Here is the chart with the final April numbers, in addition to all the data from

was released that is not included here, but we'll have that with a future
update. It will not be much different than what's shown in the first part
of the graph.

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.
