| Hi,
I'm working to add a few bionicle pieces, and I seen that flat silver color
for many pieces was changed in pearl light gray color.
Is this correct? Or is this a bug?
If is correct, is there any messahe that inform sellers about that change?
Sincerely

| I have part 32270 (Technic, Gear 12 Tooth Double Bevel) in old gray - both Dark
Gray and Light Gray. They were clearly two different shades of the old gray colors.
All the Light Gray parts I had sold a long time ago. My Dark Gray gears aren't
moving at all.
Now I see that 32270 doesn't come in Dark Gray - officially. But a few others
have also listed this part in DARK Gray.
Why isn't this part officially listed as Dark Gray?

| These two parts are extremely similar!
Couldn't they be collapsed into one part entry? I understand that they technically
have different ID numbers and maybe this means they must have different entries.
I've also been browsing all over the catalog and I've found many part
entries that have "multiple variations" (with more significant differences
than the 1mm difference between these two skis!) and even some with multiple
reference numbers.
Not totally sure how your classification system works here but if there's
room for tightening up, I think collapsing these into one would simplify part
identification with very little downside.
Thanks,

| The new Satin Trans-Clear 2x4 bricks use a new mould with part number 3556.
It looks like this is a new mould for transparent bricks, and I think that we
can expect more transparent brick now LEGO is using MABS plastic and the new
mould has been made.
The mould does not have cross-supports. I guess this will look better when building
with transparent bricks, but it could be confusing in our catalog. Should we
identify this as a 3001 or 3001old (or 3001-something-new), and why?

The catalog states this to have been released in 1997. Most - but not all -
other reference sites have this date; some claim 1998.
The copyright date on the box and the instructions is 1998.
The Collector's Guide states it came out in 2000.
Does anyone know which (if any!) of these dates is correct?

| I've been a Bricklinker for many years - I joined while my kids were small.
Now that they are grown, I'm trying to organize our LEGO collection. At one
point, we had been trying to collect all of the soccer sets as we are big fans.
I noticed recently in the soccer sets that items related to a promo set were
to be deleted (alternate minifigures for a promo set.) While these items may
not be for sale on BL, they certainly exist - I may even own them, and if I don't,
I want them.
I know that many other sites (and people) consider BL to be the ultimate reference.
So I don't understand why an existing set would be deleted from the BL catalog.
Can anyone give me a good answer about this? Or at least guide me to someone
to whom I can state my case?
If items are being deleted on the site, it doesn't give me a good feeling
about being able to use this as a reference tool for my collection.
Thanks!

| I have noticed a rather significant mould variation on this part :
I reckon the original part "2641a" was not structually stable enough
so TLG made "2641b"
However, the "cut out" under the top plate was never used to any effect
in the two sets that used the part?
So TLG could have gone with "2641b" from the start ...
I only noticed this after buying a bunch for a MOC and I wanted to put a 4x4
structure uunder the supports. Not doable with half of them 
This part was also made in black for the Blacktron prototype set btw
What do you think?

| I'm hoping someone here might know more about a sticker sheet that I came
across. The stickers were clearly made in reference to set 375 / 6075 Castle:
They are pre-cut, so that at least rules out them being the result of an amateur
print job. Stylistically the sticker sheet is quite similar to other sets from
the Legends theme:
And similar to other Legends sets, there is a 2002 LEGO copyright, but what LEGO
set would that copyright be connected to? The simplest explanation is that I've
come across yet another example of reproduction stickers meant for set 6075,
but then why did someone go to all the extra effort to add these anachronistic
details?

Part Color Codes (PCC's) that don't show up in the catalog. Occasionally
I feel bold and state the PCC's in the inventory comments during submission,

| What I would like to propose is a new "tag" to add to many minifigure
arms and legs (even leg assemblies & torso assemblies) in the catalog so that
the tag could be searched for. Basically a new searchable term: "Dual Molded."
This way if a user wants to see every leg assembly or arm assembly that contains
even one dual molded arm or one dual molded leg within the assembly, then the
search results would populate with every instance that LEGO has made a part that
contained this.
I'm not sure how this would be achieved but I'm envisioning it as an
"invisible" tag, one that is coded into the catalog element but isn't
written out within the publicly readable description.
I think it would be greatly beneficial as certain parts that are dual molded
are harder to find via searching... For example, I sometimes try to find the
bulk of these dual molded parts by searching "boot pattern" or "sleeve
pattern," but I know there are a few other parts that exist that I'm
not seeing in my results. If the actual part isn't depicting a boot or sleeve
but is none the less dual molded, serving another design aesthetic, it won't
be listed. The same is true for dual molded parts that feature printing as this
sets them apart from the non-decorated dual molded legs/arms in other colors.

not available' is shown for each part. In the page that opens after clicking
on one of these parts brings up 'No image', presumably because the default
color selected is 'Not applicable'.
Can the links be changed/modified so that an image is displayed on these pages
(even if it isn't the correct color), which would be more useful than displaying
nothing?

| This is about the Duplo Little Forest Friends.
I have in front of me a Belgian set 2833, which contains two storybooks (one
in Dutch, one in French) and a Dutch set 2831 with one storybook in Dutch.
The inventory only shows the English book.
All books have different item numbers on the back of the cover, but otherwise
(besides the language), they are identical.
How to deal with this in the catalogue?
I see some options:
1. Change the item number of the book into an "independent" number, and
when listing a set the language has to be added in the desciption of the set.
2. Add all different versions to the catalog using there Lego item numbers, and
create an alternate entry for each book.
What seems to be the best way to do?
Regards Peter.

| Hello,
I was recently looking up a set online, and came across images of it with two
different box designs. From what I can tell comparing the boxes of both types,
the two designs of boxes have the same box dimensions. It is just the visuals
on the box that are different. The set is 4884 Wild Hunters, from 2005
Would Bricklink care about differentiating between the two design types? I know
for some sets they make a note of different box designs, such as 10242-1 or 10220-1,
but I don't know if they are not as concerned if there is no change in the
size of the box, just a change in the visuals.
Attached below are some images to show the difference between the two designs
of boxes. The first 2 images are of one design, and the last 2 are of the other
design. Sorry for the blurry images for some, it is hard to find good images
online.
Any insight would be appreciated,
Alizarin

| I have to browse through the categories sometimes, and the category in Parts,
Minifig Head, has 74 pages of minifigs to go through! A lot of these minifigs
are not sorted, and appear by default by date listed in the catalog or by number.
I therefore suggest that the category "Minifig, Head" be subdivided further
into categories, rough suggestion as follows:
Standard male minifig heads. If it properly identifies as a male minifig head,
it should go here.
Standard female minifig heads. Same as above, except if there are female features
included.
Standard minifig head, undetermined type. If it doesn't fit into either of
the above and is not a masked or theme specific head, it goes here.
Minifig heads with a mask on or designed to be worn with a helmet through which
printed features, such as eyes, show through
Minifig heads specific to a licensed theme, such as Star Wars.
These are just some broad categories to hopefully narrow down the number of pages
one has to go browsing through looking at random minifig heads. More may be needed,
anyone have suggestions or comments to the above?
There may be other categories that could benefit from subdivision or reorganization.
Cheers ...

| Hello dear BrickLinkers,
Had a friendly customer that bought 776px8 as an alternative flag for the almost
impossible-to-find 777px8, found in the Weetabix Castle (00-1). The only difference
according to the description is the no bottom lip on 776px8.
However (as pictures show, although the generic image for 777px8 is somewhat
poor) there are multiple small differences that separates them.
Most obvious is the fact that 776px8 was produced between 1957-1963 and the quality
on the print/production could be inferior to the 777px8 produced ~15 years later.
At least the prints and craft could vary a lot more in the 50s but the print
looks sloppy, almost "glued" on to. Some more minor differences (print,
top of the pole which isn't noticeable on my pictures and at least my eyes
also see some differences in the wave of the flag and on searching online the
bend of the pole seems to be different (or just playwear).
The most distinguishable difference is the outline, as on mine it's discolored/almost
turning gold. I've attached images of both. One of my questions is if it's
more common that 776px8 has the discolored outline around the logo? Or if I had
a worn part and the buyer had an excellent copy of 777px8. I don't think
I'll suggest a note on each part since it's already an related items,
just curious for no good reason.
Kind Regards
Ola

| Just wanted to give a heads up to some of the more avid Star Wars minifigure
collectors that there has been some development in the sw0112 discussion. The
origins of this figure and its subsequent deletion from the catalog has been
a topic of discussion here on the forums before without any real answers or direction.
Here is the information I have gathered and the changes to the catalog as a result:
- sw0112 was added to the catalog in 2004
- Shortly after being added to the catalog, it was marked for deletion because
it is not an official minifigure. It claimed to be from set 4504-1 and/or 4504-2
but if you look up the instructions for that set, not only do the figures in
that set have light nougat heads, instead of yellow like this figure, the assembly
of the Han Solo figure shows him wearing the hair piece and not the parka/hood
piece. Per BrickLink's guidelines on minifigure inventories, an item should
only be included in the inventory if the official instructions show it as being
assembled.
- Instead of being shown as assembled on Han Solo, this parka/hood piece is shown
as an accessory that is placed inside the falcon in step 24.
- At this point, many believed that this figure was unique in that it had a hood/parka
piece with different colors/markings (white fur) than any other Han Solo figure
(such as sw0253/a). As a result, this figure has somewhat been treated like
a misprint or rare collector's item. The lack of an inventory for the
figure marked for deletion left collectors with the task of understanding the
difference between the prints on the two parka/hood pieces and has at times sparked
some debate of giving the minifigure a catalog entry again.
- I began digging into this a bit more and received information from the original
submitter of the figure that confirmed a suspicion of mine: When they took the
photo, they just took it of a minifigure they had assembled in that set without
looking up what the instructions had assembled.
- Digging further the catalog admin and I were able to determine that the hood/parka
piece in step 24 of this set was in fact different from the only similar one
in that catalog. This one had white fur, while the other one had tan fur, and
only the tan version was a catalog item.
- So the white fur parka/hood piece had been added to the catalog
and the inventories for 4504-1 and 4504-2 have been updated to the white version.
The tan fur version of the parka/hood piece has been changed to an undetermined
pattern entry and marked for deletion.
and a new entry for the tan version has been added to the catalog as well:
with sw0253 and sw0253a inventories being updated to reflect this.
- sw0112 is not an official Star Wars figure, but if you want to create it yourself,
there is now a listing for the "unique" parka/hood piece.

| Hi everyone,
I recently put together the 6991 Monorail transport base after purchasing it
in an unsorted bulk lot.
I followed the Bricklink inventory to gather all the parts, but I noticed when
building, there were some extra pieces that I did not use.
I'm wondering if anyone else has this set and can confirm the inventory accuracy.
The Bricklink inventory says that the set includes 3x 3069bpb0017, but I only
used two and saw for the alternate track diagrams the use of two on the track
switches, not three.
[P=3069bpb0017,11]
4x 4275b, but only two were used
And finally two 4504, but this part were not used in any of the building steps.
Did I miss something putting it together? The older instructions don't typically
have parts required per step laid out, so it's possible.
Maybe there were alternate versions of the set, I'm not sure as I did not
acquire this new or with a box, just the instructions.
Many thanks!

| Hi all,
I am sorting a bulk used lot now and I am confused about one part reference.
The one I have (enclosed photo, sorry for the bad quality...) probably comes
from the set 4708 Hogwarts Express since I also have a lot of its parts with
stickers...
so I guess mine is :
and that's what is written on the underside, and so not :
Where I am confused is by the name "WITHOUT Bottom Notches" and since there is
no photo of the back (bottom ?  ) I'm a little at loss and come seek your
help...
I've checked rebrickable and on it is the opposite problem, there is a photo
of 40253 that is like mine, but not of the back of 30101 
Long story short I'm pretty sure I have the 40253 but I'd like someone
to confirm, and it would be nice, if that's the case, to change the names
to something like "without back support / notches not reinforced" and "with
back support / notches reinforced" and add a photo to clear the difference (I
could try to take and edit a better one when I get back home later if anyone
is interested...)
Another possibility is that I could be totally mistaken about what are really
those "Bottom Notches"...
Thanks a lot and a nice day, David

| After considering the entirety of the Wheels category, I think three approaches
are reasonable (skip toward the end for the short version):
__________________________________
Approach 1:
__________________________________
Title Section 1: The word "Wheel."
Title Section 2: Theme, use, or both. See below.
Title Section 3: Actual, measured size of the wheel hub in the format
"10mm D. x 10mm."
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.
__________________________________
Approach 2:
__________________________________
Title Section 1: The word "Wheel."
Title Section 2: Actual, measured size of the wheel hub in the format
"10mm D. x 10mm."
Title Section 3: Theme, use, or both. See below.
Title Section 4: Any other information deemed necessary.
Sections are not separated by punctuation. For Title Section 3, the theme generally
takes precedence. Theme can be followed by use, as in "Wheel 30mm D. x 14mm
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.

Approach 3:
__________________________________
Title Section 1: The word "Wheel."
Title Section 2: Actual, measured size of the wheel hub in the format
"10mm D. x 10mm."
Title Section 3: Any other information deemed necessary.
Sections are not separated by punctuation. For Title Section 3, this information
is only the information not captured by the tag system.
___________________________________

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?

| When looking at a part in the catalog, we can see the Years Released (first thing
under Item Info.) I had always thought that that span of years was based on
the earliest and latest years that that part had been in any set in any color.
I also thought that when an inventory is approved and shows up in the catalog,
the span of years is updated immediately, but maybe that's not the case.
Today I noticed that the inventory for
was just added. That set includes the following part:
The Wild Animals of Europe set is a new one from 2022. Since that set includes
part 11344, shouldn't the Years Released info automatically update to show
the most recent year being 2022? It currently shows 2019.

| I have all the LEGO wheels (in all the colors) from the 1970s to now. Two months
ago, on October 4th, I offered to help organize the wheels section of the BL
catalog (because it's currently a genuine mess).
I sent that offer of assistance to the catalog team, which apparently consists
of the two volunteer administrators and five BrickLink employees.
My offer was completely ignored by the catalog team. I think it was fair to
give them two months before expressing my discontent publicly. BrickLink members,
and especially members willing to contribute, should be treated better than this.
Dismiss, patronize, and ignore is not an effective customer service strategy.

| I came across a plate that appears to be very light bluish gray, marbled with
white and dark bluish gray, but I cannot find this in the catalog under decorated
or by its own color. Can anyone point me in the right direction? part number
printed underneath is 03034 rather than 3034

| Hi,
I'm curious why certain items change logs don't show previous names?
I know this figure was called "Kickboxer Girl - Minifigure only Entry"
as recently as May - 2020, yet the change log only shows it was ever called Boxing
Champ ect.
The CMF's set change log includes the kickboxer girl verbiage.

I just want to ask: when will you add a list of parts of sets 76214 and 76213?
(sets from Black Panther movie).
