|
| Do I understand it corrctly that there are only three types recognized by the
cat now?
The first one only came in red, white and light grey according to the cat
However I have several yellow spacefigs that have this type of helmet and not
the one with a thick chin strap (about a quarter of my collection)
That does not match the cat? 
Cheers,
Ole

| I have 3 of these figures from a new/sealed 75290 set:
The torso print is thicker than with the previous figures from the 2014 Mos Eisley
set (yes, I have the figures from both sets).
Is something like this grounds for splitting the torso entries?

| Hello,
I recently was able to grab one of these from a friend who received it from Dell,
does anyone else out there have one? I haven't opened mine yet, but i found
a picture of a built one online, that i will attach. If t isn't in catalog
how would i go about doing that, i have never done it before.
Also, may be willing to trade it.
Thanks, NG

combo. I can clearly read the part number on the inside of the stud which is
28149 but when I put this into the search box, it comes up with an error and
no part found.
This is not the first time this has happened and it is very frustrating. Are
there any plans to update the catalogue with such pieces please?

|
| It looks that fake parts are becoming a plague- Many can be indentified quite
easily because of a different colour or slightly different shape. I recently
got two copies of the light bluishgray turntable bottom that have a correct shape
of colour but miss the word LEGO, however have as dot in the cross similar to
LEGO. Now I know from the tiles they have different texts on the bottom so this
may be the same for these parts. Illustrated are two genuine LEGO parts and the
two I doubt about.
Maybe there is someone who can tell me whether this is original, and if they
are fake let this be a warning for everyone.

There is a problem with duplo part 2332b, it is not possible to choose a color
different than yellow and tan.
However, this part exists in other colors too (red, medium blue). When adding

I can attest that this piece IS a solid. As opposed to liquid or gas or plasma.
Like everything else in the catalog. But why is it in the name? It makes me
wonder if it was meant to differentiate from hollow. The ones I have are hollow.
Are some not?

Does part 6222 always have an x axle hole, or could it also have a + axle hole?
If it has both, does it need to be split into 2 variants (6222a/6222b)?

|
| The Dark Purple Classic Space torso for the CMF22 series figure 11 (Space Creature)
pictured below contains a classic space torso given a new print ID of 973pb4514c01,
with the emphasis on the print pattern of ID of 973pb4514*, which does not follow
the classic space print torso convention of 973p90* which is used on classic
space torso prints.
Even the CMF Rocket Boy from the CMF series 17
or the other reissues of the Classic Space figures follow this convention torso
973pb90 ID convention.
I highly suggest changing the 973pb4514c01 to be renamed to 973p90new2c11 which
is the next sequential available color number. Ideally the # ID after the "c"
should be BL color ID, but alas that would be a huge undertaking for the Catalog
system. Here is the list of the current 973p90new2* catalog entries: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&q=973p90new2%2A&catLike=W&v=1

Email about counterfeits etc etc. Can't find any info here in the forums.
Noticed all other colors (white/yellow are also gone from others)
I saw some time ago the discussion about deleting M parts (mexican (illegal)

|
| I've created (pending) items for the contents of gear: snowkit01 and snowkit02.
Originally, I was thinking that gear wasn't normally assigned a color, but
now I see that there are actually similar items where color is assigned (i.e.
gear 853870). Wondering if this is a case where most of these items should have
a color assigned instead of having color in the name of the item? I'm imagining
a hopeful future where Lego creates more of these upscaled parts in other colors.
Perhaps it gets trickier when an item consists of multiple parts/colors permanently
attached, as in pending gear: UpscaledFlag
I originally took my cue from items: 851400, 853465, 853637, 853439, 853709 all
being different colors / decorations of what otherwise appears to be the same
item.
Just starting to make some catalog contributions, and probably getting into the
weeds. But just want to be consistent.
Thanks!

|
| All -
The catalog team is happy to announce that we have made another step towards
one-to-one color correspondence with the official LEGO colors that have been
used over time.
These new BrickLink colors will be specifically useful for those Bionicle collectors
out there, but they will also allow any other color collectors to complete their
collections easier.
Being as these colors are unique to Bionicle and are similar to other established
colors, they have all been given the designator "Bionicle" in their BrickLink
names.
So without further ado, the new BrickLink colors are:
----------
Bionicle Copper -
This color will only be used for a direct one-to-one relationship with LEGO color
176 Red Flip/Flop: https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15123159082/
----------
Bionicle Gold -
This color will only be used for a direct one-to-one relationship with LEGO color
178 Yellow Flip/Flop: https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15123158122/
----------
Bionicle Silver -
This color will only be used for a direct one-to-one relationship with LEGO color
178 Yellow Flip/Flop: https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15100531986/
----------
BrickLink is the first official LEGO marketplace / fan site / software outside
of LEGO itself to recognize *and* use these colors. Peeron recognized them in
the past, but they never used them for anything.
We have already made all of the appropriate changes in the catalog to the part
images and set inventories that were affected by these additions, so they are
ready for use by all.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Randy

|
| All -
I would like to start a compilation of dual-molded parts that are in the catalog
so that we can start to get an idea of the scope of what a reorganization project
for these parts would entail.
I obviously do not have access to even a small fraction of the parts in the catalog,
so I cannot visually check every part for dual molding. I also do not have the
time to scan the entire catalog for everything.
Therefore, I would like to make this a community effort.
If you notice a dual-molded part in a new set, see one sitting in your collection,
see one sitting in your store inventory, see one laying on your desk, find one
stuck between your toes in the middle of the night, etc., I want to know what
it is. This especially includes parts that pertain to any kind of minifigures
or mini dolls. Please make absolutely sure that the part is molded in more than
one color of plastic and not just painted. This is very important!
Since this compilation will very likely entail a large number of parts, I would
like to get these in larger batches in the beginning.
So if you would like to help out, please find a number of them before posting,
then please post them here in a list as a reply to this thread. I will then take
the batches and begin to make a master list on a catalog help page that can be
reviewed by all.
Once we have a good number of these determined, we can begin to see if we can
tackle this issue is a more structured way.
I hope if you have read this far, that you will join in.
Thanks,
Randy

|
| Hi, Sticker sheet (Item# 641stk01) for set 641-1 Excavator shows 4 stickers.
2 of the stickers clearly fit on the Minifigs vest, but the other 2 are dimension
2 studs wide and 1 stud height.
The instructions for set 641-1 show the application, and picture of actual Excavator,
of 2 stickers on the side applied to the 3 yellow plates. This sticker size is
1 stud wide and 1 stud height.
I'm questioning, is this the correct sticker sheet for the Set, or is there
2 versions of the sticker sheet for the set.
I bought a box of old lego parts and in it was this set which had the 2 (2 stud
wide) stickers applied to the 2x4 yellow brick at the back, and this is where
my question originates from.
kind regards

|
| Regarding 3003 Transparent colors, why are they not more correctly cataloged
as 3003old (without inside support bars)? It would seem this is inconsistent
with the opaque colors that can easily be defined by the inclusion or absence
of these support bars.
vs
Red is an example but this argument applies to all the transparent colors including

| Can someone please answer why there are minifigure numbers gb001 but also gb001i?
The same goes for gb002 and gb002i, so-on, so-forth. I do not think this is correct.
These "minifigures" are in fact the same minifigure. It only appeared in one
set and from looking at the instructions the minifigure is built as gb001i (with
the proton pack) as opposed to without. I understand when they appear with their
neck braces etc. in some sets but not others it makes sense to make them separate
minifigures, but this appears to be an error for the Ghostbusters ones?

the motor in LEGO packaging.
All the current listings are under "just motor"
The listing showing the motor in packaging is "original box entry" - but it doesn't
come in a box.
The motor was sold in a power functions set (hence no packaging) and also as

are dark gray. There is only one hit in the catalog for the "X-52" text on the

I've a precise electronic scale - 1/100 grams.
Well I think this was a recent variant, because today I found an older speciment.
This old guy is 42.11g.
The newer one was 41.27g.
I double checked today. same scale, same setup.
How could we submit that in the catalog? 2 weights for same part, plus the know-how

| Why not add cardboard sleeves as counterparts to the sets they appear in instead
of leaving them orphaned with a note that needs to be kept up to date? I don't
see why cardboard sleeves are that different from e.g. stickered assemblies.
They are a bunch of parts held together by something.

I'm inventorying set 21177 and have a different chicken. Instead of the yellow

I just wanted to confirm that I should submit a new chicken entry into the catalog
for the different 4073 variant. The body bb0816pb01 is identical. It would be
possible for Lego to add other different colored round plates on the bottom of
the chickens, creating many more entries.

|
| I'm trying to do my first set inventory for BL with the new
While it's not what I would consider a large set, there are still a number
of pieces that need to be adjusted and created. I've gone through the process
of creating and requesting all the stickered parts with images already. There
are a few new parts that need to be added to the catalog along with the new Sonic
minifig as well.
For these new parts (printed) I'm assuming that I should go through the same
process to create the new part in the system then add it to the inventory list?
Since some of these parts are printed, they have PCC numbers as well but I don't
see the PCC number anywhere in the add/change item tool. How do I make sure
this is added?
Secondly, there is one part that has a new PCC number in this catalog.
I don't see anything different from the already listed part but the PCC
number for this catalog entry is different (new=6401209)
Lastly, can I submit the main inventory page and then still make edits to it
as I create these last few parts and minifig? I had the set reserved over the
weekend and the lost the reservation because it only holds for three days apparently.
I don't want to lose all the work that I've typed in for all the parts
again.
I'm sure I'll have a few more questions but this should get me going
for now.

I'm trying to build a little piece of code for my own use, and I was wondering
where to find the list of alternate parts.
When on Bricklink I can search for part 2444, and the result give me alternate
or related item part as 10247
such as in this page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2444&name=Plate,%20Modified%202%20x%202%20with%20Pin%20Hole&category=%5BPlate,%20Modified%5D#T=C
I have download I believe all possible files from bricklink (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogDownload.asp)
But I cannot find a file which will help me identify the possible alternate part.
I looked a the parts.txt and codes.txt files, but cannot find anything.
I see this in the codes.txt file for the 2 parts I'm using as an example:
But I see no way to "pair" some parts as identical with this information
2444 Black 244426
2444 Blue 244423
2444 Blue 4529003
2444 Dark Bluish Gray 4196768

| 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.

| 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.

|
| I was doing a job lot and came across a Chrome Silver torso for a Stormtrooper.
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?

|
| I always assumed the 45 in Slope 45 means 45 degrees, and in Slope 33 it means
33 degrees, however if you calculate the exact degrees based on brick measures
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
Therefore... just curious, where do the 45 and 33 come from?

But I don't have any gear number for it. What should I use?

| All -
The main part of the project to move LEGO games from Gear item types to Set item
types has been completed. Unfortunately, we could not meet our deadline of November
1 due to some unforeseen circumstances in the code that required fixing. Thankfully,
these kinks got worked out quickly so that we could finally bring this project
to fruition.
A few other games in the Gear item type may still be moved (I need to look into
how to best handle them), but all of the ones with official LEGO set numbers
were moved and are now easily found through category searches as well as set
number searches. All of the minifigures that were associated with all of these
games have also been recategorized under the new category structure used for
the sets.

I would like to thank everyone (sellers, buyers, admins, etc.) for your patience
over the years as we moved towards this goal. I thought at times that it might
never happen, but here we are at last!
Special thanks go to:
(1) Prior admin StormChaser for pushing relentlessly to get this accomplished.
(2) Admin Russell for quickly submitting bug reports and following through on
them.
(3) The "Catalog Squad" at BrickLink for being very responsive to our needs concerning
this project and getting the bugs fixed quickly.
Cheers,
Randy

| I found a stormtrooper today with a yellow pauldron so I went to look him up.
Coincidentally I found that the specific pauldron was just added to the catalog
today!
Part number is bb0673pb03
This part has yet to be assigned to a set inventory.
I'm not sure if this helps, but I found this pauldron on this minifig
or could be
Don't know for sure, but maybe the yellow pauldron was a variant.
Thanks

| was on the shelves when the 9/11 attacks happened in the USA. Shortly
after that, TLC issued a recall on any unsold copies. Not all retailers complied
with that.
My recollection is that it had to do with a drawing that was considered offensive
in light of the 9/11 attacks. I thought it might have been a comic book, but
now I'm thinking it was something similar, but part of the instructions.
As several sellers of the instructions mention that the last ~10 pages were cut
out, I wonder if that was one way of dealing with it, without actually returning
the sets to TLG.
Does anyone actually have one of these with full instructions, and can confirm/deny
my remembrance of the issue ? Might make for an interesting note on the catalog
entry.

| We recently deployed an adjustment to our catalog admin tools that allows us
to move Gear items to the Sets Item Type. One of the reasons we wanted to move
these Gear items is that they would be more searchable and help with connections
to other sites. As a result, many of the item numbers had the letter "G" removed.
This "G" (or "g") had originally been added, both as a prefix and a suffix, to
distinguish between certain parts and Gear items which shared a "given" ID; that
is, an ID that has been "given" by the LEGO Group and is clearly enough exposed
that BrickLink catalog users could use it to help identify an item.
In particular, the G was necessary for the rare occasion that either the part
or Gear item needed to be added to an inventory via one of our manual inventory
upload forms. In these cases, the forms would only allow one of the two options,
and if the user needed the other option, a catalog item number change was necessary
before uploading the request.
This problem stemmed from an effort a few years ago to simplify inventory upload
forms (they were notoriously difficult for many users to understand). At the
time we removed the input column for Item Type, since 99.9% of the time it was
unnecessary.
However, we have determined to restore the Gear item numbers affected by this
and plan to deploy, on Monday, a dropdown menu for these cases, where users can
choose between duplicate IDs. This is already a feature of our autopopulated
inventory add form, where duplicate PCCs will trigger a similar dropdown.
So starting immediately, we will approve changes for Gear Item Numbers from Gxxxxx
and xxxxxG to xxxxx. There are several hundred of these in our system, and they
can be discovered quite easily by downloading via Tab_Delimited File all Gear
item types:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogDownload.asp?utm_content=subnav
...opening the file in Excel, and then searching the Item Number column for the
letter G.
If someone, or a group of people, would like to take on this project, it would
be greatly appreciated. Our catalog admin team is approaching the absolute busiest
time of the year and probably won't have time for this until mid February
otherwise.
Thanks!

| What exactly is the difference between 6048 and 6048b? There's no comparison
picture on either entry, and the only descriptive difference is that 6048b has
"finger grooves".
However, I checked through my copies of sets 6977, 6969, 6441, and 2151 for (6048)
as well as 6949, 6837, 6905, 6456, and 8480 for 6048b. I couldn't see any
difference between the 6048* copies in all of those sets, and they all seem to
have a "finger groove" to allow the piece to be attached to 3-arm pieces and
to rotate cleanly.
Does anyone have non-render pics of the normal 6048, or could anyone explain
what to look for? Thanks!

| I see LEGO part based games have finally (a few weeks back) been moved from Gear
to a new category of Sets / Games.
Was this fairly major change ever announced? I see there was one reply to an
older thread saying a set had been transferred here: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1314630
But shouldn't such significant reorganisation like this be announced / documented
somewhere? It seems a bit strange that there are recent admin posts about transparency
and communication yet things like this go apparently uncommunicated.
Also why does it have such a strange structure?
For example, these sets go in a named directory structure inside Sets / Games
/ ...
other games from a named theme don't get a directory such as
There is only one Star Wars game, one Harry Potter game, one City game, etc but
they get their own directory/folder whereas the Atlantis game doesn't get
a themed folder?
Then for some reason Chess (and a few others) is treated in a completely different
way
These go into the Sets / Theme Name / Games rather than Sets / Games / Theme
Name
Is there some reason that chess does not go into the Sets / Games structure?
That is, their theme trumps being a game in the catalogue structure, whereas
for other themes they are a game first, theme second.
