Is the one with the lighter cheek lines the recessed stud one?

came out 2 years after the other sources for that minifig. If I had
to guess, that set came with the updated head and it was never noticed.

| | Hi all,
I'am new to collecting minifigures, but there is something i dont understand.
Some figures are really expansive, but when u break them up to parts u can somethimes
get it by parts for under half price.
is there a difference in buying parts rather then the complete figure? or is
it the same? Trying to understand why some have the value they have.
|
It is mainly marketing. You present a complete minifig for sale and people want
that. Most people are not wanting to go find all the parts, even if a store
has them all.
I have occasionally parted a minifig out and had someone buy all of the pieces,
but it is very uncommon.

Comments from Submitter:
I am taking a conservative approach out of politeness, but I think admin should consider marking twn063 for deletion and making a straight replacement. All other browns in the inventory are reddish brown and the set came out well after the palette change, so I suspect that this was always a mistake.

| was recently added to simplify a lot of listings and make it easier
for monochrome collectors to find parts. I believe it is very sensible. I collect
a slightly different thing. Monochrome torsos with yellow hands. They are extremely
common in 80s minifigs and still in creator sets. Like the monochrome it is
a little difficult to find what all is available. Could we consider making a
unified listing for these as well? They would collect over a dozen listings
into one.

Do you know the origin of the italic non-rib? That is a complication that I

* Change 1 Part {Brown to Reddish Brown} x104 Minifigure, Hair Female Ponytail
Comments from Submitter:
I am doubtful that this 2005 minifig ever came with brown hair. The set comes with reddish brown suitcase and broom and 2 other minifigs with reddish brown hair.
I missed the color when I sorted out the set, but I was working on minifig pics today and I found the reddish brown hair and set it aside because I believed it was misplaced, but it was where my brown one ought to be and my brown one was missing. When I looked into it, I could not account for the presence of a reddish brown piece other than that it came in this set.

FWIW, in the set picture the hair looks twisted to the side. Does that work?

Actually, I made an inventory control error which caused me to grab the wrong
hair piece. Similar but not correct. I found the correct one and it works just
fine.

We have begun discussions about it within the admin team. We should know soon

From the Pending Images - Items section, it appears that the decision was to
not move forward with the new system. The three images submitted by Axaday are
no longer awaiting approval, but the new names are not in the catalog.

| | So it's been quite a while now since the bolt out of the blue announcement

concern that they would ruin the site, or at least have an overall negative impact.
However I haven't really noticed any difference so far (perhaps a bit more
downtime from the server?).
Just wondering what other people's thoughts are now that they've had
control of the site for a while. Better, worse, about the same?
|
My sales went up a lot last year, possibly attributable to the sale giving Bricklink
higher profile, but it is hard to account for the pandemic variable. There was
always a winter uptick presumably tied to Lego fans spending more time inside
and that would certainly extend through last summer even though the weather was
nice.

| | I imagine I'm not the only one to be aware of this grammar mistake. When
searching a store's inventory, there's a drop-down menu that says "All
Filters." Once it's been expanded, it can be minimized by clicking "Less
Filters."
Properly, in English grammar, when there is a countable noun, we do not use the
quantitative adjective "less". That's flat-out wrong. We must say "fewer".
We can say "less milk," but not "less cookies." We must say "fewer cookies."
So here, English grammar demands that we say "Fewer Filters."
I do think that correcting this error will enhance the site's professionalism.
|
You are correct about the grammar. However, “less” is very commonly used this
way in the United States. Much more commonly than “fewer”. There is a fuzzy
line between poor grammar and a language evolving. They’re/there/their is clearly
on one side of the line for me, as an example, but less/fewer doesn’t bother
me.
