  So.. forgive my inattentiveness, but last time I checked (earlier this year),
the catalog was looking a biiit different from what I was used to for the past
15 years. And since I am a catalog based sorter, I decided to close the main
part of my store on Bricklink for now, focus on other stuff and address the issue
later on. Give it some time for the dust of moving stuff in the catalog to settle.

I recall there was some Dome category, amongst a few other things (didn't
wedge plates also got moved to plate? Or that was about to happen?)....

But the other day I was browsing my inventory and I noticed everything is...
preeetty much the way it used to be? Tried to search the forum but didn't
exactly find an explanation.. whatever happened? I mean, I'm fine with it,
but just wondering.. was it cancelled or just postponed?


A lot of the things were not approved by BrickLink, so we did not proceed with
them.

Parts: Minifigure, Hair
Why is one classified a headgear and the other a hair? I was looking for the
goggles version and couldn't find it until I looked at the Apocalypseburg
Abe minifig inventory. I think they should be under the same category. Whether
it's hair or headgear I guess is up for debate, although there are a lot
of these hair/hat combos under "hair":
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&q=hat&catLike=W&catString=847&sortBy=N&sortAsc=A&catType=P&v=2
So maybe the plain black one belongs under the hair category?

And there are a few more of these headgear that could go under "hair":
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&q=hair&catLike=W&catString=16&sortBy=N&sortAsc=A&catType=P&v=2

I don't think it really matters where all these hair/hat combos go, as long
as they're in one place. I'm curious how some ended up in different categories,
whether it was differing interpretations of the parts or an actual rule that
I can't determine. Either disclose the definition of hair with hats vs hats
with hair (if there is one), or move into one category please!

Our catalog is a work in progress! Parts are submitted by volunteer contributors
and approved by volunteer admin over long stretches of time. LEGO changes their
products, adds new variety and more and more parts and we keep changing too.
You can submit changes requests for any oddities and inconsistencies you find.
The catalog notes for these parts are:

Minifigure, Headgear - For minifigure head coverings, excluding hair. Most or
all also fit micro and mini dolls.

Minifigure, Hair - For hair and hair/headgear combinations that primarily appear
on minifigures. Most or all also fit micro and mini dolls.

Even these definitions are relatively new. It looks like most of the Combos
started being put in the Hair category around 2015. Many of the leftovers in
Headgear were added to the catalog before that. Some of these are also fairly
subjective. How much hair needs to be present for an item not to be listed as
Headgear? etc.

Please keep in mind that parts that need to be moved to a different category
are now usually handled in batches to reduce the impact this has on sellers.
Perhaps an admin can chime in and let us know if the Hair/Hat combos will be
corrected in the next major update.

I have moved this to a Catalog Request and plan to look into it. Some changes
are probably needed, and if they are, they will be added to the parts planned
to be moved on October 1.

  Very nice that have the option to change all dimensions on a single page: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=S

In my opinion, following the logic for instructions entries were we have width
x height x thicknes
s the dimensions for flat boxes should also follow the
same logic and I would therefore suggest to make this: width x height x thickness
(of the flattened box).

Depth?


I have moved this message to another topic since there was nothing here that
a Catalog Admin can do.

Here is the help page for measuring boxes:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2510#EmptyBoxes

The help page refers to "thickness" of the flattened box, so I agree that it
should be changed on the form.

Cheers,
Randy

68888 Technic, Axle Connector Hub with 4 Bars and Through Axle Hole

which both refer to the other part
as "This Item is similar in mold type to the following Item(s)".

But 48723 has an anti-stud (which btw is not a "Pin Hole") and therefore has
a slightly thicker central part. You can see it on the diff pictures (even on
the part pictures themselves) that their heights are different.

Can we change this? Otherwise sellers are going to sell either parts under either
part ids...

Thanks!


Since there is nothing to change here, and the catalog is correct as is, this
request has been marked as "Already Exists".

Cheers,
Randy
