|
| Hi all!
So we've had the 6077 forestman set for a long time.
And, both on the instructions AND the Bricklink description, there is a mistake
on the color RED of colar for torso 973p48c01 : it IS REDDISH BROWN, not RED.
It's certified.
thanks 
best regards
Soon

I can see how that works for maybe a one-room workplace, but we have a storage
building, a sorting building, and then the listing usually occurs in the house.
When we list heads, for example, it's a lot easier to take one bin with all
the heads in it than a few hundred. But we keep them very organized with bags
and labels.
In fact, I feel this method may be slightly better as it forces the picker to
pay more attention to what they're actually handling and doing.

Where item x would be in category 1 and stored in bin 1, all of a sudden the
same item x would be in category 2. But I will not find it in bin 2, because
I didn't move storage locations when an item changed categories in the past.
|
The problem is you should NEVER organize your stock by Categories, neither by
Color or Reference.
All this can change, and often changed by BrickLink directly in your Inventory
(worst case scenario).
|
Agreed! I specialize in small minifig parts and most of my picking comes from
784 common sized small drawers.
I upload by category and before each upload, I run macros to auto sort my inventory
export so that I put each (lets say "modified head") into the most empty drawer
that doesn't already have a modified head in it. I do this for each category
with the goal being that any given drawer only has 1 minifig lot, 1 head lot,
one headgear lot, etc... as many dissimilar items as possible in each drawer.
It makes picking easy, cause you don't have to pay very close attention if
the customer ordered a torso from a given location and there is only 1 style
torso in that drawer.
I used to put all black torsos in one bin... uhhhhh... yikes... took forever
to find the correct one.

I run a very small shop, with a very limited inventory (although I have tons
to sort ...).
What is your secret to organize stock? By day of the week you purchased the part?

Spatial? Like "Drawer 056"?

Controversial opinion here, but I organize my parts by color or by color family
(red, green, blue, etc). It is clear and unambiguous; a tan brick is always a
tan brick no matter what the catmins decide to call the color, whereas categories
often change. Only if I have a lot of one particular color do I divide by category.
Obviously, this only works for a small store with a small number of bricks in
each color, for a larger store a more sophisticated solution is necessary, perhaps
by the part ID or something totally unrelated.

I organize by category, but also give each container a unique code and put that
code in the remarks of the items in that container. If an item changes category,
I still have the code in the items remark and can still find it just as easy.
Organizing by category makes listing easier; putting codes on the bins and items
makes it easier to find/remember where we put them.

A solution would be to clearly list the former categories on the item detail
page. I'm not sure if category changes are listed in the inventory log, but
that log is long which makes it hard to spot those changes.
Secondly, when trying to determine what part an item is, I usually browse categories
because the search functionality of the site isn't that good. Extending items
with labels or tags (to assign multiple keywords to items) and use those in the
item search, might be a good improvement.

I agree and therefore parts should be categorized by their design otherwise you
create wider issues where parts like this printed brick also may end up needing
to be moved being its a cat animal character?
However to me its still just essentially a 1x3 decorated brick! just like those
heads with pineapple and fish are still just heads and so if you really still
felt the need to separate them all the heads would need to have sub categories
something like this...
MINIFIGURE HEAD:-
Plain
Decorated
For Minifigure
But if tags are coming it may not even matter too much whether all these heads
remain bundled in the same category and therefore on the same token those minecraft
heads would be better left together with the other minecraft heads rather than
creating confusion by moving them

Thank you for your feedback.

Indeed, but that is not what us being suggested in the forthcoming moves. The
opposite is. Parts are being (and have already been moved) based on usage rather
than base part. Decorated parts are in different categories to plain parts.

Yeah, hopefully, if the category changes that the items name doesn't change
at all otherwise that might make it difficult to find.
|
That's the issue. If this isn’t a head and so head gets removed from the
name (even though the basic part is called a head) then it means we would need
to shift from easy to remember part names to part numbers. Of course it is only
a few extra clicks and searches to find the number but if you have lots of different
parts to look for, little extras add up.

| | | Interesting. I'm not sure I'd ever notice what category they're in.
|
Same, I don't think I really check item categories when listing items. I
usually only use it to look through different categories when I don't know
exactly what I need or want and just add different things that look interesting
from that category.
| |
My process would be to go to Steve. Find that his head part number starts with
"19729" and then I'd just go to the main search bar and search "19729*" and
scroll until I found it.
At a future point when there are a lot of minecraft heads this shape, I'd
probably go through the color guide and find my color and search the same thing.
|
Or you could even type "trans-bright green" ahead of the part number to find
it even faster

| | | Perhaps, but on the flipside someone who is looking for these probably already
knows what they are called and a simple search of the name is going to bring
it right up regardless of what category it is located in.
|
Fair point, But perhaps they went to the animal, land category and typed in Minecraft
and went from there if they could quite remember the name of it.
| |
Whereas how we do things (and I assume other sellers have a similar method) is
once we have a good amount of heads stocked up we'll then put them on our
store. We'll sort out all the minecraft heads, go the head modified category,
find the minecraft heads, and go through the list, listing each item as we come
across it.

| | The problem is that only 2 of the 53 heads are now in another location.
Unless I do a deeper search, I may very well set those heads aside thinking they
are not on Bricklink yet. I could see listings of these two items dropping as
sellers can't find them. And if sellers can't sell them, buyers can't
buy them.
|
Hmmm. I don't think that listing would drop too much unless since its easier
for people to find that it sell better

And of course there are plenty of other head base parts that are used for other
things that might be better placed elsewhere, such as these in animal, water:
The first one is also a named character.

Could be, like this is a minifigure too, not a brick-decorated:

I don't know know what a Minecraft mob is but I do know where the other Minecraft
heads are. I am always for changes when it makes things simpler and faster.
Looking in two different places for a piece that looks only different because

Why are these suggested to be moved over to animal, land? It doesn't make

A good question, and I will lay out the rationale below.
This is a part:
These are minifigures:
etc.
Just because a base item is in one area of the catalog (in this case, "Part")
does not mean that all other items that use that base item should be in the same
section of the catalog (in this case, "Minifigure").
In the above two cases that are to be moved, the items are Minecraft mobs, and
all Minecraft mobs that are animals/creatures are located in the Animal categories.
They are not used as heads for minifigures, so it does not reason to have them
located there. They will still be related to their base part through their item
numbers just as the microfigures above are.
Cheers,
Randy
|
I can see the reasoning behind the decorated microfigures being minifigures,
and I semi-see your point, but to me sometimes convenience should overrule technicality.
If I find one of these, my first look is most likely going to be straight in
the head,modified category since I will identify that shape right away as being
the minecraft head. However, unless I am very familiar with Minecraft (which
neither I nor our sorters are), I will never think to look over in animal at
all.
This is where tags or the ability to have the same piece in multiple categories
would be really nice, and until one of these features might exist, I think we
should keep the catalog as simple as possible to avoid unnecessary confusion;
with one of the ways keeping similar pieces together and not spread out. This
is also why I'm against the statuettes being split between parts and figures;
makes sorting very confusing (does this particular one go in our utensil bin
or complete minifigure bin?)
These two items are found in a minority of sets, while the steve/alex/skeleton
versions can be found in basically any minecraft set. Because of this, most users
are going to identify this particular piece as a head and find it very confusing
that two of them are seemingly randomly put into animal.
But this is my simple opinion, and if no one else feels the same, then who am
I to stand in the way of progress.
|
Thanks for your thoughts. At this time, these are just proposals. We had some
users that wanted them moved, but if more come out against them, they will not
be moved. I can see both sides of the argument, and I have to balance the pros
and cons. You obviously bring up some of the biggest cons.
And, yes, this is where tags would be wonderful. The good news is that a tag
system is to finally begin development this year.
| | And finally, regardless of what happens in this case, I would like to thank you
Randy, and the other hard-working catalog administrators, for all the work you
guys do. There have been many changes that I do appreciate and I'd rather
have continued progress on the catalog with the odd changes that I disagree with
than no changes at all.
|
Thank you very much for the kind words. We really do try our hardest with what
tools we have available to compromise with as many users as possible. Sometimes
it works in a user's favor, sometimes it doesn't. And we know we won't
ever please everyone. But the idea is to please as many as we can as much as
we can.

Perhaps, but on the flipside someone who is looking for these probably already
knows what they are called and a simple search of the name is going to bring
it right up regardless of what category it is located in.
Whereas how we do things (and I assume other sellers have a similar method) is
once we have a good amount of heads stocked up we'll then put them on our
store. We'll sort out all the minecraft heads, go the head modified category,
find the minecraft heads, and go through the list, listing each item as we come
across it. The problem is that only 2 of the 53 heads are now in another location.
Unless I do a deeper search, I may very well set those heads aside thinking they
are not on Bricklink yet. I could see listings of these two items dropping as
sellers can't find them. And if sellers can't sell them, buyers can't
buy them.

and this makes sense. It's no animal it's a minifig...
|
Especially when other named animals such as Scooby Doo and Santa's Little
Helper go in animal. And cars with names go in minifigs not vehicle.
It's the problem with a catalogue structure based on parts designed decades
ago that doesn't fit modern products.

Basically, they are not required to build the minifigure as the instructions

Just like

The rule for those is that handheld accessories are not part of the minifigure.
Footgears are included, like skates & the 1x1 round plates or bricks under Iron
Man’s feet, because (I think) they are clothes or gear on or around the feet,
not “foot-held.”

The "power effect" parts for Iron Man and company go on the feet but not the
hands, so it is a bit confusing there.

The difference is in the Ninjago logogram. And yes, the "MANTER" torso is probably
a mistake. The entries will not be merged because the parts have different item
numbers and the difference might be important for Ninjago collectors.

| Hi all,
Can anyone tell what the difference between
and
actually is. According to the inventory, they contain different torsos - the
color of the shirt (one being light green, the other white) and apparently "MANTER
or MASTER".
Given white printing is rarely actually white on dark colored torsos, I suspect
the shirt colors are the same. Similarly, is MANTER just a typo, and it should
be MASTER?
Should the torsos, hence the minifigures, be merged?

The rule for those is that handheld accessories are not part of the minifigure.
Footgears are included, like skates & the 1x1 round plates or bricks under Iron
Man’s feet, because (I think) they are clothes or gear on or around the feet,
not “foot-held.”

I know figs can be sold just as parts, but that is significantly less desirable.

The person that submitted the inventory is probably waiting for sh808 to be approved
before completing the inventory. Once that happens, they are able to update
the pending inventory.

The list of 'Known Colours' is automatically updated based on the part
appearing in sets.
So, currently the red version does not exist in any sets (the individual red
part exists in sets but not the complete 'with trans-light blue glass'
version)
It needs to be added as a counterpart (same as the white & yellow versions) to
the relevant set(s).
You can use the usual change form to add it as a counterpart...
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp?itemType=S
Once that change is sunbmitted and accepted, Red will then appear in the list
of 'Known Colours'.

Thank you very much, I have now filled in the change request form for both Red
and White counterparts to be added to this set inventory.

“Known” colours are those that appear in at least one inventory. That part is
not “known” in Red because it’s not in any inventory.
The composing parts are the ones found in new sets and are already in the inventories.
Such assemblies are added to inventories for Used sets, in the Counterparts section.
That the assembly in Red is not in any inventory is just because no one added
them… unless there’s a policy I don’t know about (but I’m not a specialist
) that would prevent them to be added.
You can make the corresponding change requests. Once they are accepted, the
assembly will be in inventories and Red will a “known” colour.
Now, as for being able to select a colour for items for sale, you should be able
to choose any colour, regardless of its “known” status.
|
Thank you, I thought it was the other way around, that the available colour had
to be listed in the catalogue first in order for the part to be added to an inventory
(you can tell I don't get involved with such matters very often).
Thanks for your help.
