Hello everyone,
2022 release:

- LEGO "Vibrant Yellow" was added as BrickLink "Neon Yellow"

Totally agree!

But now, regular Yellow looks Orange, slightly lighter than BLO...

Hello everyone,

Apologies for the canceled post about colors the other day. We got our wires
crossed behind the scenes and in the effort to get a new color ready for use,
there was some miscommunication.

We have released a new color, Neon Yellow. The official LEGO name is Vibrant
Yellow (368):

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp?utm_content=subnav

There has been much discussion recently around the subject of color, specifically
how official LEGO color names relate to BrickLink color names. To explain a little
of why and how these differences happen, here are some examples of new colors
entering the marketplace:

2011/2012 releases:

- LEGO "Dark Azur" was added as BrickLink "Dark Azure" (name adjusted for English
language spelling)
- LEGO "Medium Azur" was added as BrickLink "Medium Azure" (name adjusted for
English language spelling)
- LEGO "Aqua" was added as BrickLink "Light Aqua" (named adjusted because BrickLink
already had an "Aqua" and this was lighter than that color)
- LEGO "Medium Lavender" was added as BrickLink "Medium Lavender" (no change)
- LEGO "Lavender" was added as BrickLink "Lavender" (no change)
- LEGO "Spring Yellowish Green" was added as BrickLink "Yellowish Green" ("Spring"
was removed for simplicity)
- LEGO "Olive Green" was added as BrickLink "Olive Green" (no change)

2019 release:

- LEGO "Vibrant Coral" was added as BrickLink "Coral"

In 2020, the "Opal" series of colors started to be released. These were called
"Satin" colors on BrickLink. 2020 also saw the replacement of the keyword "Flesh"
with "Nougat".

2022 release:

- LEGO "Vibrant Yellow" was added as BrickLink "Neon Yellow"

*************************************

General principles for naming new BrickLink colors:

1. When possible, the official LEGO color name is adopted as the BrickLink color
name.

2. Spellings are changed to BrickLink conventions, i.e. American English.

3. Extra keywords are removed (e.g. there is no need for a modifier in front
of "Coral").

4. Care is taken to relate the new color name to other BrickLink names of similar
colors.

5. Non color-specific adjectives are replaced with more concrete terms, i.e.
Stone = Bluish

6. Everyday color names often replace more exotic names: Medium Lilac = Dark
Purple.

Year of Release is tied to what inventories a part appears in. The vented stud
is listed as an alternate in a set that has been in production since 2013. The
data is not an indication of actual LEGO production.

I believe it also depends on your buying filter about location: they are for
sale but you don’t want to see them, so they are not shown

That makes sense, I guess there were no sellers in the area I am comparing my

I am a bit confused seeing Town as theme.

For example, I have these 3 sets, which are City Space Set#

3368 Space Center
3365 Space Moon Buggy
3367 Space Shuttle

Yet on BL they are categorised as

Town City Space Port Set#

This seems incorrect. The Town theme does not seem to exist in LEGO. The main
theme is City.
And Space Port is not a subtheme either.

Any feedback is appreciated.

They are historical BrickLink classifications.

Vintage sets were not themed, so everything to do with a city was categorized
as "Town" on BrickLink. Once the "City" theme was named, it was created as a
subset of "Town" so that all sets related to a city could be found by the "Town"
category search.

"Space Port" is the category used on BrickLink to categorize things that relate
to space but are realistic and Earth-focused in origin. It is a BrickLink specific
subtheme.

For future information, BrickLink's classification system is different from
other sites.

Occasionally, I run into items that don't have a price guide tab, but only
Items for sale and Color Info. What does it mean if this is missing? Is this
an indication that the item has never been sold, or is there a min. amount of
sales that should take place, before this is added?

There needs to be an indicator of the piece "slope" degree, even if not accurate,

IMO there does not... Slope 2 x 1 or Slope 3 x 1 says it all. No confusion about
the 45 or 33 (which is incorrect anyway).

So how about you ignore them, and other people that want to use them to identify
parts that naturally fit together can use them. I find there are many keywords
added to descriptions that I never use and are therefore superfluous (at least
to my way of searching).

In all my 50 years of playing, collecting, buying, selling and talking about
lego slopes I never ever had the need of something like a 45 degree roof or 33
degree rampage I just wanted to built a good looking roof

.

So I never gave it any thought or attention, indeed just ignoring it most
of the time. The one time it is practical is when sorting the slopes online to
find all the ones alike.

And that is the point of the label, knowing which ones work together.

For example, [p=3046a]

No doubt you can come up with dimensions to code up the system that will be the
same as regular slopes, but the two character "45" (3 if you include a space)
is much more efficient. It doesn't matter what the exact angle is, just like
it doesn't matter if all the torsos with "ascot" have true ascot ties, or
neckerchiefs, or cravats, or whatever someone wants to call them. Learning it
is called an ascot here finds them all, so long as the term is used consistently.

I agree to a certain point but if we would get rid of the angles, then we would
need the height for some slopes. Not sure what would be best though.

Yes… well… except for “33”: the only way I can find to get to that number is
to say “the brick is 3 units long and 1 unit high which makes it a 33% slope”
(%, not °, not a typo), except that the vertical unit is not the same as the
horizontal one and it counts the stud.
That or discaculia or dislexia (changing 31° into 33)…
… and a mighty bunch of people just repeating without understanding and/or correcting.

Just enough mystery for the words “Templars” or “aliens” to come to mind

Also makes me think of this joke:

A foreign lord is visiting a monastery, and the abbot explains how the monks
work at copying manuscripts. And the lord asks:
“So, the monks copy the original books?”
“Oh, no! Those are too precious and fragile, they are copying the last copy.”
“But what happens if someone makes an error in copying? Then the error will
be copied again and other errors will be added?”
At these words, a monk working next to them jumps from his seat and rushes out.
Everyone is astounded for a minute and then they hear wails and cries and go
check what it’s about.
They quickly find the monk in the archives, were the oldest books are kept.
He’s holding an old parchment and crying.
“What’s he holding?” asks the lord.
“Oh, it looks like the original of our order’s rules” answers the abbot.
“And why is he crying?”
And the crying monk says “It’s celebrate! Not celibate!”

The 33 1x3 is about 25.5 degrees.

It has to be less than 45, not more than 45 because when I put two together (slope
to slope) I get an angle very slightly less than 90 degrees. This was the easiest
test for me to do. The measurement of the actual slope can not include the full
length and height, just the length and height of the part containing the actual
slope.

Are you saying my logic is wrong, or that the digital tool is wrong?

I am only trying to show that the angle is less than 45 degrees.
Can you explain why this test is not accurate for determining if the angle is
less than 45 degrees?
The bottom of the piece runs parallel to the adjacent side of the triangle
The back of the piece runs parallel to the opposite side of the triangle
Therefore, if the angle is greater than 45 degrees, shouldn't the angle of
the combined pieces, as shown in the below image, form an angle of more than
90 degrees, not less than 90 degrees?

You are right. It is including the height of the step that is the issue.

The angle of the slope depends on whether you measure the slope of a single part
or the overall slope of multiple stacked parts.

So folks are measuring different things, explaining the different results. That
makes complete sense.

Can someone please fix this?

Chromed parts with same chrome color but different base color are not distinguished
in the catalog and we are not planning to change that. Besides that, it seems
both figures came with both base colors, see https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1264297

If you really need a specific base color I'd suggest to ask the seller in
advance to check which color(s) they have.

Convention is that if the height is 1 brick high that is not mentioned.

However 3300 is less high so it would be Slope 2 x 2 x 2/3 Double ?

The degree in the name gives them A NAME -- something to call them by.

I have been playing with LEGO for over 40 years and have always used the degree
of 45 or 33 to indicate what piece I am talking about (with other people).

The degree of slope is how many people label storage containers, too, such as
a label that reads 33 Degree Slopes, etc.

I have a Lego friend who is even older than me (he is now 64 years old) and has
been playing with Lego his entire life. He actually NEVER calls them Slope --
his word is BEVEL BRICKS -- but he says 45 degree Bevel Brick or 33 degree
Bevel Brick and I know EXACTLY which pieces he is talking about.

And your example doesn't work with these pieces:
Slope 2 x 3 versus Slope 3 x 2. They are NOT the same as one is 33 and the
other is 45.

In fact, more than one seller on BL has shipped me the WRONG piece when I have
ordered Slope 2 x 3 and they sent me Slope 2 x 3.

We definitely need to keep the degree in the names, even if it is not exactly
correct mathematically.

I always assumed the 45 in Slope 45 means 45 degrees, and in Slope 33 it means

it is not.

A standard 1 x 1 brick measures 7.9375 mm x 9.5250 mm (length/width x height
without the stud).

Building with Slope 45 bricks results in a slope of 50 degrees, not 45.
Building with Slope 33 bricks results in a slope of 31 degrees, not 33.

As is well know, assumptions are the mother of all f*ups, so I most likely assumed
wrong

As I understand it, the only reason to add angle to the dimensions, is to allow
for differentiating between the angles. Ironically, the other dimensions illustrate
the difference well enough vis-à-vis slope. The added number only serves to convolute
the dimensions and their usefulness. It’s superfluous, imho.

Update the BrickStore database, from the Extras menu.

The part that you called out is not the same. If you note the difference between
yours and the one in the catalog (the reason it's marked for deletion) is
that the catalog entry has the sticker on the wrong side of the piece. You can
submit it to the catalog using the add/change part system : https://www.bricklink.com/catalogAdd.asp?utm_content=subnav

No, they didn't want that from the start, it's a logical result. That
lip is simply a panel width. Brick width + panel width = brick height. Removing
one panel width from the bottom of the brick and you're left with a perfect
cube. Then you cut the cube diagonally (=45 degrees) to get the slope.

A panel? Back in the old days when the Slope 45 was created there were no panels.
So, I don't think that was considered at all.

Then the next Slope brick (known as Slope 33) was created with the same lip height.
Somehow this got called 33 on BrickLink, but it's not 33° but 31° close enough.

Hmm, I think it's like 26.57 degrees? 2 steps wide and 1 step high, that
gives a tangent of 0.5... calculator says that's 26.57 degrees...

Yes, but patpendlego calculates the slope of a stack of slopes, like he said
the 45° were actually 50°, and tan⁻¹(9.6/(2x8)) = 31°.
LEGO says 25° in the names, which is wrong too… but closer to 26.57° than 33°

Thanks for all the replies, so now it seems that:

LEGO made the first Slope brick (known als Slope 45) where the slope itself is
as high as it is wide both 7.9375 mm resulting in 45° angle and a lip of 1.5870
mm and when building a roof resulting in 50° angle.

Then the next Slope brick (known as Slope 33) was created with the same lip height.
Somehow this got called 33 on BrickLink, but it's not 33° but 31° close enough.

LEGO got stuck with the lip height of 1.5870 which does not match e.g. a Plate,
just because they wanted a 45° angle at the start.

I was looking at Cobi parts, they made a different choice. They set the lip height
to Plate height, thus 3.1750 mm. Resulting in smoother models to be built with
these parts if put along side. This is how I got to my question.

Most are rounded results of arctan (height/width) in BL units (where even though
1 height is different to 1 wide in actual mm dimensions, they are the same 1
unit).

The odd one is 33, but that helps to differentiate it from the different family
of 30 'cheese' slopes.

Also lego call the 33 system 25°, but the 45 system 45°.

1 up 3 along = 18 degrees

Seems not to work like that

You forgot about the lip (around 1.6mm), so the slope is ~8mm long and ~8mm high,
which makes it ~45°.

(Skedadling before you think about apply the same reasoning to the 33 slope….)

Therefore... just curious, where do the 45 and 33 come from?

I'm going with it's close enough to determine the difference in the slopes,
no need to be that accurate.

That seems rather likely. It also does not say 45º just 45. Then it is more like
a name/type to distinghuish then a number indicating something like degrees.

I presumed it was for 1 brick up for 1 stud along and then 1 brick up for 3 studs
length.

I had a foam shield at one time, think it was this one.

850087 Shield, Knights Kingdom Lion Head Pattern
Gear: Play Wear & Weaponry: Castle: Knights Kingdom I

There are a few different ones in the catalog but not sure how a number was
determined. The one I had came in a bonus pack with a boxed lego set. Maybe by
looking at the item numbers in the catalog a pattern could be seen to come up
with the next item number.

...we surpassed last year's yearly total of catalog items added:

In addition to that 2021 saw more catalog items being edited/changed than in
the previous 6 years combined:

https://www.bricklink.com/calendar.asp?v=Q

(mostly due to thousands of packing dimensions being added)

Us admins sometimes get thanked here in the forums for our work but those volumes
can only be achieved by all the submissions from you.

So here's a big thanks from us admins to you

Here's to 2022...

Paul.

Thanks for the update! I am looking forward to a positive and productive 2022.

Congrats to all the contributors!

This year 31942 pack dim changes leave 15270 others still better than any year
except the past one, but still quite impressive for this community of volunteers.
