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

em

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,
Sam

Could the dimensions be updated on this part
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4025#T=P

currently showing as 3.2cm high and 1.04cm long/wide, but it is actually 3.2cm
long/wide and 1.04cm high.

currently calculates postage incorrectly for instant checkout as will fit large
letter, does not need small parcel post.

Thanks,

Ian

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?

I have this promo "board game" from 1982 that I want to put up for sale,
but I can't seem to find it. Do these kind of promos not have a place here
on BL or do I just suck at searching?

Part 40938, the hair to Rex is always dark brown, but in set 70849-1 it's
listed as reddish brown.


Couldn't get my submission working probably because I just couldn't figure
out the catalog entry.

Pick-a-brick currently sells this part in black and white using. I have bought

the earlier variant. No part number printed on the part.

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.

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!

Hi,

I wanted to add the inventory for the unreleased game 50004 Story Mixer, but
2 Microfigures don't exist at all. I know there are unreleased parts and
sets in the catalog. Is it still possible to add these Microfigures and after
that complete the inventory ?
The Instructions already exists with every part number.

Thanks,

Nicolas

Hey people,
just found a
 
Part No: 6259  Name: Cylinder Half 2 x 4 x 4
* 
6259 Cylinder Half 2 x 4 x 4
Parts: Cylinder {White}
which has the number 6218 stamped on the bottom. Is that a alternate nr. that
should be added? Got it out of a fleamarket box, so not new, but it clearly says
(c) LEGO, and looks identical to 6259, as far as I can tell.
Cheers!

Hi,
the catalog lists item 32505 to be a similar mold as 87788, but the are both
rather different. While 32505 is a little bit larger, it does not have an axle
part on the inside to attatch it to another part.

I can't find this in the catalogue. Looks like a town plan board but it's
not the UK/Australian version. This is the Canadian Samsonite version. Anyone
have any info on this or if it's already in the catalogue?

Please put me out of my misery if you can.

I have a newer form of 973pb4275.

Was this re-issued at some time like a number of others, I can’t find an entry
for a re-issue, might be me.

Both have Lego logo.

1121 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2010

and all the heads for all the minifigs have an inventory
with "blocked open studs" but my set has 3 of the figs with "hollow
stud". The 3 figs are:

There are no alternate minifigs with the option for hollow stud heads. I dont
want to break the figures down but I also dont want to sell them and have the
customers complain that we sent them the wrong heads. What should I do in this
case??

Thanks in advance.

I have noticed a rather significant mould variation on this part :

 
Part No: 2641  Name: Support Crane Stand Single
* 
2641 Support Crane Stand Single
Parts: Support

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?

Cheers,

Ole

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:
 
Set No: 6075  Name: Castle
* 
6075-2 (Inv) Castle
706 Parts, 14 Minifigures, 1981
Sets: Castle: Classic 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:
 
Part No: 10041stk01  Name: Sticker Sheet for Set 10041 - (45667/4190519)
* 
10041stk01 Sticker Sheet for Set 10041 - (45667/4190519)
Parts: Sticker Sheet
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?

Is it possible to replace battery in lightsaber minifigures without damaging
them ?

Does the hood normally come off as the rest of the figure appears fixed, what
colour should it be ?

Theoretically, I know what it is... but what is it used for? Is it usually part
of an engine, building construction, generic mode of transportation part, minifigure
etc?

Trying to physically categorize it properly in my stuffs
