From the original notice

I have this set with building instruction, but nowhere are the 2 part 3003 blue
brick 2 x 2 mentioned in the instruction. Maybe original submitter has mistaken
the set? I would say only a sealed set could confirm their presence in this set.

Well not in mine. Does this mean they are considered as alternate parts? Note
that they are not mentioned in the instruction text in yours.

  Bringing this back, since the issue is coming up frequently for me again.

Dear BrickLink admin folks,

It would be greatly appreciated if a different system for listing Kraata (and/or
other dual color molded parts) could be implemented. BIOSector has detailed descriptions
of each Kraata color pairing, which in theory should make it easy to create a
drop down menu based on the head and tail colors.

As an example:
Say I have a stage 1 Kraata that has a metallic green head. I select “Stage 1”,
then “Head Color: Metallic Green/Lemon Metallic.” (Listing the most common name
for the color and then the official LEGO name for that color). Then I click “Tail
Color:” and am presented with a short drop-down list of possible tail colors,
which in this instance are “Lime/Bright Yellowish-Green”, “Dark Green”, “Metallic
Blue/Sand Blue Metallic”, “Red/Bright Red”, and “Dark Grey Metallic”. (These
are the only 5 tail colors that are paired with a metallic green head.)
The final listing title would look like this:
“Stage 1 Kraata: Lemon Metallic Head, Bright Yellowish Green Tail”

Implementing a system like this would ensure that sellers clearly disclose both
colors of the item before posting, rather than being able to list only the stage
and head color and ignore the instruction to “describe the rest.” Many Kraata
listings do not describe the rest of the item; in fact, many of them leave the
description blank, making their listing functionally worthless. Unless I contact
each and every one of those sellers to ask about their one specific item, there
is no way for me to know if it is an item I am interested in.

As a result, a great many items that people have listed in hopes of selling get
passed over and ignored, due primarily to seller error, but it would be really
helpful to us collectors and customers to be able to get a clear and standardized
system in place to help us make informed purchases.

Thank you for reading!
- ProneToDrift

I have 18 stage 1 Kraata with different tail colors pending. If the admins accept
them I will do the other stages.

That does sound like lot.

But there is no need for 252 catalog items, probably as there are different base
colors a lot can be under the same entry in different color...?

Oh indeed. Looks like only 12 colors of tails. 72 listings.

It is a lot. But it is definitely the way we do things for new listings now.

As I understand it there are 42 color variations for each of the 6 different
kraata stages, which would mean adding 252 items to the catalog.

I have no idea what a kraata is, but are they random packed in sets? Sounds
like there aren't a lot of variations. So why don't we just add all
the variations to the catalog and make them alternates in sets?

Dear BrickLink admin folks,

It would be greatly appreciated if a different system for listing Kraata (and/or
other dual color molded parts) could be implemented. BIOSector has detailed descriptions
of each Kraata color pairing, which in theory should make it easy to create a
drop down menu based on the head and tail colors.

As an example:
Say I have a stage 1 Kraata that has a metallic green head. I select “Stage 1”,
then “Head Color: Metallic Green/Lemon Metallic.” (Listing the most common name
for the color and then the official LEGO name for that color). Then I click “Tail
Color:” and am presented with a short drop-down list of possible tail colors,
which in this instance are “Lime/Bright Yellowish-Green”, “Dark Green”, “Metallic
Blue/Sand Blue Metallic”, “Red/Bright Red”, and “Dark Grey Metallic”. (These
are the only 5 tail colors that are paired with a metallic green head.)
The final listing title would look like this:
“Stage 1 Kraata: Lemon Metallic Head, Bright Yellowish Green Tail”

Implementing a system like this would ensure that sellers clearly disclose both
colors of the item before posting, rather than being able to list only the stage
and head color and ignore the instruction to “describe the rest.” Many Kraata
listings do not describe the rest of the item; in fact, many of them leave the
description blank, making their listing functionally worthless. Unless I contact
each and every one of those sellers to ask about their one specific item, there
is no way for me to know if it is an item I am interested in.

Just2Good unboxing sealed set

I don't think we should add that extra sticker sheet. TLG very rarely provides
an extra sticker sheet and as Yorbrick already pointed out, the two sheets stick
together so it looks like a packing error. I have found the same in a new set
a few months ago. I will leave this open for a while in case anyone wants to
add anything here.


  Another question, should the zeppelin ship be split into 2 parts, since it is
assembled only for display purposes?

Don't really have an opinion here. But we already have 171 parts in the inventory
while the box says there should be 170. So I would say it is okay for now to
not add another one.

Lovely.

As a point of reference, I have no experience with coding. I wasn't advocating
for a complete site overhaul; in theory my idea is simple. If it isn't viable
in practice, a practical "that's too much work for too little gain" would
be sufficient.

Hello All, I have two Item # 44813 Bionicle Weapon Staff of Light Blade. They
are neither Flat Silver nor Pearl Light Gray/Grey. I have included photos where
you can see the part number 44813 and the copyright c2002 LEGO Group. As well
on the reverse of both is the number 58813, also visible in the photos. Also
there are currently 13 sellers selling this part under the colour "Dark Red".
One seller includes a photo of the part against a green background. As you
can see the part isn't completely "Dark Red" but rather is partly semi-transparent.

I suggest we formalize this part with this colour scheme and add it to the catalog.

I make no suggestion that colour scheme should be associated with any particular
set, but clearly, it exists.
Regards

Yes there is a demand for these. Especially all from one place.

This issue is already known, and it would be part of project #2 on the Catalog
Roadmap: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476


In Suggestions, WOLKsite writes:
  At the moment, the "Copper" color covers 4 distinct major colors:

Comparison image, from DeMartinet: https://brickshelf.com/gallery/DeMartinet/Colors/img_2465.jpg

Pearl:
189 Reddish Gold (alt. named Gold Metallic) - Used most notably in Knights'
Kingdom II, but also for Krana-Kal/Kraata in BIONICLE. Like the name says, it's
a reddish gold color, somewhat similar to pearl gold. Replaced by Pearl Gold
in 2006. The minifig sword in the image.
139 Copper - Used most notably in Exo-Force. Kind of brown in color. The
2x2 dome piece in the image.
346 Copper Metallic - A much more orangish color, used between 2017 and
2020. The action figure sword in the image.

Metallic:
300 Copper, Drum Lacquered - Like 139 Copper, but "metallic". The axe-head
in the image.

Personally, I think these are distinct enough to warrent individual colors.

There's of course, the BIONICLE copper masks of victory (which use 176 Red
Flip/Flop) and golden masks (178 Yellow Flip/Flop) (also sold as Metallic Gold)
but given the very limited usage, a unique color is not needed there. Ditto for
the Pohatu/Pahrak canister lid, ofc.

I don't believe the site is going to do a code rewrite for one group of parts
in a catalog that has over 125,000 items and growing. Just saying.

This could well be a mistake rather than a widespread extra. I've had two
sticker sheets in sets before when there is meant to be one. They sometimes stick
together and you get two.

  My grandfather left a large collection of Modulex Bricks and Tiles. Is there
a demand for Modulex bricks? Is it worth the effort to record the stock and sell
it via Bricklink? Some bricks are not listed on Bricklink and many are still
sealed in their original packaging.

I’m not sure if there is much of a demand, but many MODULEX bricks sell for $1-2
USD each once you are getting larger than a 1x2 brick. For the ones that aren’t
on Bricklink, it is very easy to add an item to the catalog. If someone has not
added it already, I would guess that it is pretty rare. Most importantly, is
Bricklink something that you would want to put time into. When you have that
many parts, it would take a lot of time to sort, list, pack, and ship everything.
My recommendation is to go for it if if you want to sell. You have quite a bit
there, maybe even the most on Bricklink. One seller has nearly 6,000 MODULEX
pieces, while another has nearly 12,000 MODULEX Bricks.

Hi Nicholas
My grandfather's collection includes much much more than 12000 bricks. He
took over the Modulex Switzerland stock when they closed down.

  Bringing this back, since the issue is coming up frequently for me again.

Dear BrickLink admin folks,

It would be greatly appreciated if a different system for listing Kraata (and/or
other dual color molded parts) could be implemented. BIOSector has detailed descriptions
of each Kraata color pairing, which in theory should make it easy to create a
drop down menu based on the head and tail colors.

As an example:
Say I have a stage 1 Kraata that has a metallic green head. I select “Stage 1”,
then “Head Color: Metallic Green/Lemon Metallic.” (Listing the most common name
for the color and then the official LEGO name for that color). Then I click “Tail
Color:” and am presented with a short drop-down list of possible tail colors,
which in this instance are “Lime/Bright Yellowish-Green”, “Dark Green”, “Metallic
Blue/Sand Blue Metallic”, “Red/Bright Red”, and “Dark Grey Metallic”. (These
are the only 5 tail colors that are paired with a metallic green head.)
The final listing title would look like this:
“Stage 1 Kraata: Lemon Metallic Head, Bright Yellowish Green Tail”

Implementing a system like this would ensure that sellers clearly disclose both
colors of the item before posting, rather than being able to list only the stage
and head color and ignore the instruction to “describe the rest.” Many Kraata
listings do not describe the rest of the item; in fact, many of them leave the
description blank, making their listing functionally worthless. Unless I contact
each and every one of those sellers to ask about their one specific item, there
is no way for me to know if it is an item I am interested in.

As a result, a great many items that people have listed in hopes of selling get
passed over and ignored, due primarily to seller error, but it would be really
helpful to us collectors and customers to be able to get a clear and standardized
system in place to help us make informed purchases.

So you think that bricklink needs a complete rewrite to allow parts to have multiple
colours per part rather than just adding these in the description? It seems unlikely
somehow.

I don't really see the issue either. To me, it looks like the vast majority
of these have the correct colour selected then either a description of the tail
colour, or a photograph of the pieces. If they don't then ask or just ignore
them.

For reference, my uneducated eyes, not aware of any legoid, will say:

Brass:
- light brass: small sword
- dark brass: mask

Copper:
- copper: big sword

bronze:
- bronze: mask, dome.
- freshly cast bronze: axe head

At the moment, the "Copper" color covers 4 distinct major colors:

Comparison image, from DeMartinet: https://brickshelf.com/gallery/DeMartinet/Colors/img_2465.jpg

Pearl:
189 Reddish Gold (alt. named Gold Metallic) - Used most notably in Knights'
Kingdom II, but also for Krana-Kal/Kraata in BIONICLE. Like the name says, it's
a reddish gold color, somewhat similar to pearl gold. Replaced by Pearl Gold
in 2006. The minifig sword in the image.
139 Copper - Used most notably in Exo-Force. Kind of brown in color. The
2x2 dome piece in the image.
346 Copper Metallic - A much more orangish color, used between 2017 and
2020. The action figure sword in the image.

Metallic:
300 Copper, Drum Lacquered - Like 139 Copper, but "metallic". The axe-head
in the image.

Personally, I think these are distinct enough to warrent individual colors.

There's of course, the BIONICLE copper masks of victory (which use 176 Red
Flip/Flop) and golden masks (178 Yellow Flip/Flop) (also sold as Metallic Gold)
but given the very limited usage, a unique color is not needed there. Ditto for
the Pohatu/Pahrak canister lid, ofc.
