| 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.

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.

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.

No - there is only 1 additional notes field per catalog entry.

While researching this minifigure I realized that the under (inside) color was
white. There is also a Chrome Silver C-3P0 minifigure with the under (inside)
color of Light Bluish Gray. The legs for both figures are listed as the same
piece, but the under (inside) color is different. White for the Stormtrooper
and Light Bluish Gray for the C-3P0 so shouldn't they be listed as a separate
piece? I would really be disappointed if I bought a pair of Chrome Silver legs
with white inside color when my C-3P0 figure's inside color is Light bluish
Gray.
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.

And I suppose that with the Additional notes space still occupied with
educating folks on the Monochrome Leg rules, this product detailed can’t/shouldn’t
be placed there?
Can notes even be added to color-specific listing pages within the Monochrome
Leg category?
Color me monochrome clueless

The 33 1x3 is about 25.5 degrees.

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?

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. Where needed, replace given angle with the missing dimension.

Giving more perspective to the slope

Looking at the inventory of 5152-1 it contains Slope 33 not 25 as the set implies

and a couple others contain no disks, contrarily to what the set names imply

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 ?

| | | There needs to be an indicator of the piece "slope" degree, even if not accurate,
but it serves to know which ones share the same angle.
|
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).
