I think this could be additional information. The attachment type isn't
included in the titles of many wheels. I have recently heard an argument that
attachment type is the most important piece of information about a wheel and
should be either the first or second section of the title.
What are your thoughts?

Jumping in here too 
This approach puts Axle Hole before additional description:
This approach puts Axle Hole after additional description:
Either way 18mm x 14mm or 18mm x 8mm, respectively, should be (in this case,
since there is no apparent Theme) the first piece of information.
Also, is the D. necessary?

| I would prefer approach 2. You can always determine the dimensions with a ruler
or tape measure but you might not always know what theme a wheel was originally
placed in when added to the catalog.
All wheels (and tires for that matter), should have the "mm" labels for the dimensions
so that they can be listed in ascending order. Also, perhaps the label should
have a space between it and the number, for example - 8 mm x 6 mm.
The 8x6 (4624) and 8x9 (30027) are on page 1 but the next size 11x12 (6014) are
halfway down on page 2. Listed in between are huge wheels, like 24x43 technic
and 70x28 futuristic. Perhaps due to inconsistent or nonexistent "mm" labels.

Title Section 1: The word "Wheel."

Title Section 3: Actual, measured size of the wheel hub in the format

Title Section 4: Any other information deemed necessary.
Sections are not separated by punctuation. For Title Section 2, the theme generally
takes precedence. Theme can be followed by use, as in "Wheel Town Motorcycle."
Although there are no firm rules for selecting the contents of this title section,
the preferred length is no more than two words. Themes should be loosely interpreted
into only a few basic categories (Fabuland, Space, Town, Technic, etc.) to reduce
the total number of themes and avoid more groupings than necessary.

Here are the pros and cons of each approach, followed by examples already in
use.
For Approach 1 the pros are standardization and grouping of similar items (like
Technic or wagon wheels). The con is that 82 of the 212 wheels already use the
second approach.
For Approach 2, the pro is a very straightforward system, where every single
wheel is ranked by actual size. The con is that groupings of similar items will
be lost in the places where such groupings currently exist.
For Approach 3, the pro is that all unnecessary information is moved to a tagging
system. The cons are that titles will be visually lacking and the tag system
may not be robust enough to support sucking most of the information out of titles.
My preference is Approach 1. I think it makes the most sense given the current
system, even after tags come along.
I will say, based on extensive experience, that BL is highly unlikely to change
much in the Wheel category, at least not in any kind of timely manner (meaning
within the next five years). But I have the wheels and my wish is that everyone
could benefit from this collection. So I'll make a one-time submission of
the data and change requests.
The only question is this: which approach would members prefer I use to submit
the data? Thoughts or input?

That's a perfectly reasonable position. Out of curiosity, though, doesn't
the size convey that information? Or do you prefer words to numbers? For example:
|
Not everyone reads size and converts it to item instantly words like the giant
or small can help quickly confirm at a glance when looking at something before
listing it or when pulling it to ship it out
| | Wheel Small
Wheel Medium
Wheel Large
Wheel Giant
Wheel 27mm
Wheel 36mm
Wheel 52mm
Wheel 96mm
I'd like to understand your reasoning better. A similar use of size, BTW,
is in the hoses (where words couldn't describe them all).

I don’t mean to bud in but those are more so very similar and are easier to mentally
picture size wise (I’m probably making no sense rn)

Just to clarify for those who don't know, that 81.6 x 34 dimension matches
the markings on this tire that fits the wheel:
But, of course, five other tires also fit the wheel (such as the one shown below).
So the 81.6 x 34 dimension in the current wheel title doesn't make much
sense.

Thanks! To answer your question, I'm not sure yet. I think it would be
nice to keep certain wheels grouped together. A straightforward [Wheel] + [Size]
titling system would lose those groupings. See below for an example of wheels
grouped with the word "Wagon:"
Right now I'm thinking [Wheel] + [Category] + [Size] might be best.

That does make sense to keep those keywords in the same section of the part's
name so that parts like the wagon wheels end up near each other in search results.
I agree that the size being the last part makes sense too.

Overall, it appears that the Wheels category has become messy name-wise due to
a Too-Many-Cooks-Spoil-the-Broth situation. Over the years several different
people, all of whom had good intentions, submitted the parts, and there was no
naming standard, so now it is just as you said—a mess.

| | Below are four colors that I would like to see added to the Bricklink catalog:
-Pearl Blue
-Pearl Brown
-Pearl Green
-Pearl Red
These four colors were used in the Rahkshi Bionicles. If you look at the parts
from each set (Item No: 44807 for example), you can tell that buyers and sellers
are clearly confused, they are listing the parts as "Metallic Green" and even
"Chrome Green" because the parts have a more metallic look than just regular
green/blue/red/brown.
LEGO does have IDs/names for these colors (and so does BrickOwl):
138-Metallic Bright Blue
187-Metallic Earth-Orange
136-Metallic Dark Green
184-Metallic Bright Red
Each color should only have 3 known parts each: 44138, 44807, and 44140. (unless
I am missing something).
We already have Pearl White and Pearl Black, so I'm not quite sure why the
rest weren't added.
This addition was originally brought up by grey_beard in the Colors forum several
months ago, but seemed to be forgotten, so hopefully bringing it up here gets
more traction.

I second this.
I just tried ordering some missing parts from my Rebrickable inventory. The missing
Pearl Red resulted in color = not applicable. I didn’t notice it until I received
BLUE parts.
Now I know why. It would be really helpful if these colors were added.

It might be Pearl Light Gray. That is not a known color for , but that

Fair question.
The primary issue is titles. The default sorting is by title and at least 11
different methods of titling are used, causing wheels to be sorted in non-intuitive
ways. Here are those titling methods:
Actual physical size:
Theme:
Physical characteristic:
Use:
Generic physical size ("small"):
* | | 41865 Wheel Small Wide Hard Plastic Slick, Hole Notched for Wheels Holder Pin
Parts: Wheel |
Set name:
The word "with":
TLG "size:"
And then those where "Wheel" is not the first word in the title:
Former BrickLink category name:
Theme:
Use:
For a category with only 212 items, those are a significant amount of different
methods of titling. And then you have multiple instances where similar items
are titled differently (also, the comma in the second example causes items to
sort to the bottom of the list):
* | | wheel4 Train Wheel Spoked Large (29mm D.) with FreeStyle Pin Hole
Parts: Wheel |
In addition, the small and large identifiers are unhelpful. There are 29 train
wheels in the catalog. The words small and large clarify nothing.
Additionally, there are a few instances of wheels being not categorized as wheels
or non-wheels being categorized as wheels. There are missing item relationships
and additional notes. Variants are not known in some cases. Pictures are sometimes
poor quality and sizes are missing. Those are the reasons I called things a
mess - because the current state of things resembles an amateur effort rather
than a planned, professional cataloging system.

We did receive your message and we talked about it. My apologies that no one
got back to you, but we didn't really finish the discussion.
As many fans know, the LEGO Group is the largest producer of tires in the world,
and it's something we are all proud of. Those who use the catalog know that
these types of parts are often confused for one another, and there have been
some great efforts made in the past to help users navigate through the wide selection
available on Bricklink - a double-sided sheet prepared by Jennnifer comes to
mind.
So we do think the project is important and we want it to happen. However, it
would be best to split it into manageable sections. First, we recommend starting
with these:
1) Incorrect or missing weights and packing dimensions.
2) Better photos, especially for assemblies that currently do not have an image.
A lot of the inconsistencies you mentioned involve the item name. As you know,
we have a project with tags coming soon, and ideally many of the keywords in
the item name will becomes tags and be removed. So eventually we want to have
all the descriptors available somewhere in a searcheable field.
If you would like to take a stab at making some rules for the item name, please
go ahead. It is likely that no one has ever thought through the issue with these
particular parts very deeply, and we might find some easy fixes that everyone
can agree on. And by everyone, I am including the Forum crowd here.
I'll send you a private message later on when I've had a chance to read
your proposal in more detail.
And welcome back to the Forum.

The main problem would still be not knowing, which version belongs to which set.
It's much more likely, it often took Lego several years to get old versions
out of stock or even production.
I've currently split 3001old in up to seven variations, and that only covers
split tubes, pat pend (all three versions exist with and without splits!) and
the CA bricks. There are probably several more versions within the "not split,
pat pend" ones for the Logo and a "bar" along the middle. Damn, these things
have clutch power like superglue And if you think, you have seen everything,
there comes a few "pend Pat" (jup, the lines mixed up…) or the whole writing

Hello,
I am happy to answer questions or walk you through the process.
The minifigs for 76214 are already in the catalog so it shouldn't be too
difficult. You may need to take images of any new parts or sticker sheets.
(I actually have 76213 on order so that one will be added fairly soon if you
want to wait a little longer on it. Either way, I can help you out.)
Here is a Help page to get you started.

The instructions make it seem pretty complicated, but it gets easier after you've

Feel free to send me a message or post questions here.

I was going to weigh the box for set 10307, but was unsure if I should weigh
only the outside box (left most box), or if I should also include the weight
of the 3 inner cardboard boxes that the pieces come packaged in. A photo is attached
to show all 4 boxes.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Alizarin

It looks like the big heads are bigger and so heavier than the bead pieces.

The entries are based off of what comes in the sets for counterparts but all
the base colours for all of the parts are still in the catalogue and you can
list any colour you want from the premade counterparts

I don't understand what you mean. These are 2 distinct part which can go
together in any combination which you choose. But, in fact, you're not able
to list it that way since some are not an option...

| Pen Beads appear as PARTS in a newly announced set for Lunar New Year. The photo
of the new set shows 2 minifigs with Bright Pink masks that are Pen Beads. Currently
Pen Beads only appear as GEAR items.
I thought that Catalog Admins should be made aware in the event that this may
require a catalog re-adjustment or re-classification of some kind.

You will need to add the part to the BrickLink catalog first. It's a bit
of a process but worth it! You've got the image already so you are more than
halfway there. I am happy to help walk you through it if you need any help.

Some sellers offer vintage parts but can't list them as separate entries. I have listed them as regular entries with a comment concerning customers should request vintage markings in the notes when an order is placed.

A PN does not constitute a structural difference to the part, so the presence
or absence of a PN does not result in a seperate catalog entry. Nor does the
'pat pend' text printed on many old vintage parts. (We have tried but
it was not accepted, and that's for the better as well it would create a
chaos in the catalog.)
Besides that, I think that many if not (almost) all vintage parts like these
are already in the catalog. I myself and a few other collectors have done a great
job some 10 years ago the add many vintage parts.

I don't know the whole history of the vintage part entries for some of the
bricks, but my guess would be that it had to do with collectors wanting those
entries at the time. I don't know if they would be added again today if they
weren't already in the system. I do know that there are no plans to add any
more of them at this time.
Cheers,

It's more likely that both variants exist. If you can take an image, we can
add the 'c' version to the catalog. I can help walk you through the process
if you are unfamiliar.

Since you have photos of the cups, you could add them to the Brick catalog.
They should be added in the "Food & Drink" section of the Gear category.
