| As far as I can see the only way to look up the catalogue entry for a store product
is to click the image then the catalogue reference - it is not at all obvious,
I even forget from time to time.

Hello,
Thanks for contributing! Catalog submissions are approved by our admin and they
only have so much time to go around. It is normal to wait several weeks at least
for stickered counterparts to be added. (Priority is given to new parts and sets,
understandably.) A quick search of the word 'sticker' in the log of pending
items returned about 400 results. So, I would be a bit patient here if I were
you.
I looked over your submissions and they look pretty good! There are a couple
things I would recommend just from my experience as a submitter:
1. Some of these parts are missing the word Pattern.
2. When possible, try to describe the colors accurately using LEGO colors as
your guide. For instance, you use the word Green several times. Is it Green,
Bright Green, or Lime? The admin are going to need to confirm.
3. The sticker on 87544pb100 is quite crooked. If it were me, I would carefully
remove, dust off, and reposition this one.
Good luck!
~Jen

Lol reading this I'm so surprised that my submissions took only 2 days (I

As of today, we have promoted BrickLink member Turez (Jonas) from Catalog Associate
to Catalog Administrator. In practical terms, this means he will now have full
privileges on both sides of the catalog, governing both the entries themselves
and the inventory system which connects them:
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/member/community_experts.page
Jonas has done excellent work during this past year in his catalog-side-only
position, quickly masterning all the various functions in what has often been
called a "minefield" environment.
Of particular interest to him is the process of getting all the set entries added
to the database at the correct time (and with the correct details of course),
which involves staging them as pending items and doing research as to when each
set will be released:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?itemPend=Y&catType=S
The scheduled release date is usually added to the item name on a pending entry.
As you can see, we are on the verge of a huge upload of new sets. June 1 is typcially
the single busiest release date besides January 1.
We are very pleased to have such great talent on our team. So join me in welcoming
Jonas to this new position!

Many thanks - could you please send the original image files to catalog@bricklink.com?
The upload through the forum makes them smaller than necessary, so it would be
nice to have larger images for the catalog entries.
It will likely take a while until we have time to proceed with this little project
(probably not before we are done with all the new summer sets and parts), but
in any case it is very helpful to have the images ready.

Hi,
Parts in the catalog needs to be added by people who have them. These people
can take pictures and add them with the form "Add or change", add dimensions...
and finally add pictures.
But don't forget it could take time for the parts to be approved

i just got the obi-wan one in a lot and can provide more photos if needed
|
oh and for the dimensions should i remove the lightsaber or keep it on
|
I would say don't remove the lightsaber (i.e. the 4L bar), as the figure
came assembled with it when it was new and it could get lost more easily when
stored or shipped separately.

sounds good. ill work on it shortly

Many thanks - could you please send the original image files to catalog@bricklink.com?
The upload through the forum makes them smaller than necessary, so it would be
nice to have larger images for the catalog entries.
It will likely take a while until we have time to proceed with this little project
(probably not before we are done with all the new summer sets and parts), but
in any case it is very helpful to have the images ready.

| | With the recent addition of Commander Fox sw0202b, it has got many people in

Have the rules changed or been relaxed? Where will it end?
For the completionists it just makes collecting more challenging (& expensive)
& the worry will be it’ll put people off or they’ll give up altogether, as the
barrier to collect minifigs is already high with over 1300+ in the catalog.
For those wondering, I did own Fox, but sold it as it never had an sw number
& now I’m faced with a decision, do I fork out hundreds of pounds to get it (if
I can find one), or just sit with the knowledge of my collection never being
complete & quitting altogether?
|
The catalog is a fluid entity, and it ebbs and flows in many ways all of the
time. Some things get added (sw0202b), some get deleted, and some just get changed
(like five Star Wars "figures" that were just decommissioned [ https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2571
]).
It was decided by the current catalog administration team as a whole that sw0202b
should get its own entry because it was made and distributed in sets in significant
quantities.
The Star Wars figure mentioned is no different than this Technic figure
that was printed incorrectly and distributed in sets in significant quantities.
That was just added to the catalog in December of last year.
As catalog administrators, we cannot play favorites and we try to apply guidelines
and decisions as consistently as possible.
Cheers,
Randy

Ok—I’ll say hi here
I am putting together info on sw0102–again as the admins have asked of me since
it was years ago when the full triangle of this minifigure helmet was misprinted
into many sets but never got it’s separate variant entry. It was I and a couple
others that tried to get this accomplished but without success. At present Sw0202
torso misprint was accepted really quick by the admins. Why? Just split the
sw0102 to add the variant correctly as sw0102a and sw0102b.
|
None of the current administrators were around for the old discussions or yet
understand the issue fully for sw0102. That is why we need the information.
We received all of the necessary information promptly when dealing with sw0202b,
and we were able to make a decision based on our collective prior experience
as an admin team dealing with similar scenarios (such as the Technic figure).
Once we feel like we have enough information, a decision will be made and acted
upon.
Cheers,
Randy
|
Any chance you could tell us what this "necessary information" that you
received on sw0202b was? I'd just be interested in knowing the backstory
on this figure.
Also what is the criteria that the decision is made on? What determines whether
you will add it to the catalog or not?
Thanks,
Pete

Just curious if any catalog admin is willing to answer this.

Sure,
Lego keeps track of parts being used in specific colors with Element IDs (Part
Color Codes). And sometimes update them with new numbers to float currently in-use
parts to the top of their filing system. Kinda like renaming an old Word document
to remind yourself that you're still working on it.
There used to be a naming convention for ID #s, but now (I think, 41XXXXX onwards)
they just go up in numerical order.
So,
Color - Element ID - Chronological Order (1,2,3...)

position with privileges on the catalog side only. After a year of activity in
the new area, Diana will be eligible for promotion to the new Catalog Administrator
position with privileges on both sides.
Diana was the first Inventories Administrator who exclusively used the new Inventory
Comparison Tool for inventory approval work:
https://www.bricklink.com/r3/inventorycomparison/main.page?sourceB=1&invB=60001&sourceA=0&invA=60001-1
She has also done considerable work in improving the Help Pages for those contributing
inventories to the BrickLink catalog. For example, this page explaining the Inventory
Comparison Tool was just completed recently:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2594
This page also happens to contain the first-ever BrickLink-hosted color chart
comparing BrickLink color names with official LEGO color names.
We trust Diana will continue with the enthusiasm and dedication she has shown
over the past year. Please join me in welcoming her to this new position!

Technically, it’s a brown.
The HSL equivalent of #BBB29E is (rounded) H=41, S=18, L=68. Enter these values
here: https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_hsl.asp
You can play with the Saturation and Lightness fields to be more convinced.
(The Hue value mostly corresponds to what we call tint or colour in everyday
language. Low Saturation would be “faded,” high “bright” or “vivid.” And Lightness,
well, it’s about black and white, with the “full” colour in the middle.)
But then it also may be a cultural thing / translation problem. Colour names
are tricky and translations are never exact.
For instance, in French, common brown is called marron, from the fruit
of the horse chestnut tree¹. It’s now the generic term for every hue of brown.
The English word that etymologically correspond to it is “maroon.” But, in English,
that’s a particular colour that’s actually a dark red (#80000) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maroon
.
The other way around, in French we have brun, which clearly is etymologically
linked to brown. It can also be a generic term for brown colours (more literary
/ older) but it’s more particularly used for dark brown hair and fur (brown bear
= ours brun, never ours marron).
And that’s with languages, English and French, that are close together.
Even when you know all these false friends, your brain still sees the etymological
link, the “they sound the same” link.
––
¹ For the “real” chestnut fruit (châtaigne), we have the colour châtain,
which is used exclusively for hair and it’s not the same colour as English chestnut.
There’s colour patches here https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chestnut and https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/châtain

OK, I admit, that the "Old Trans-Black" parts are kind of "brownish"
when compared with new Transparent Black, and if it is the official LEGO name,
it makes sense to name it that way.
But I still think according to RGB values also that the Transparent Brown parts
are in a way darker and far away from simple Brown Color.

It does have a brownish teint. It’s “warm.”
If you look at the RGB values ( http://www.ryanhowerter.net/colors.php ), it’s
BBB29E (red 187, green 178, blue 158). It’s far from a pure grey (where R=G=B
or very near that).
Apparently, if you put the new Trans-Black next to it, this brownish teint is
even more obvious.

Yep, the right one is definitely Trans-Bluish Brown.

I’d have said it looks like squid ink (the thing they overuse in cooking shows,
yuck), that is, black with a tint of violet.
But squid ink has another name: sepia… which is brown when diluted and dry (hi
Nicéphore!).
So, yes, it’s all browns

Why don't you name it as Trans-Light Black or Trans-Dark Gray or something
which represents the real color?

| | Dear BrickLink members,
In May of this year, the LEGO Group plans to release a new color, and this has
implications for the BrickLink catalog and marketplace. The new color being introduced
is 375 Transparent Black, and we believe it will eventually replace LEGO color
111 Transparent Brown.
As most of you know, the greater fan community has for many years referred to
LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown as "Trans-Black". Up until now, this
name has served us well because there was no official LEGO color known as Transparent
Black. Now that the LEGO Group is introducing a color officially known as Transparent
Black, it will cause alignment problems to have the same name being used for
two different colors.
We anticipate that the introduction of this color will cause some disruptions
over the short term, but we have created a plan of action to minimize those disruptions.
The first thing we will do is change the name of the current Trans-Black color
to "Trans-Brown (Old Trans-Black)". This change is scheduled to
take place at the beginning of April. This will ensure that the name change will
be very noticeable within the catalog, set inventories, BrickLink stores, order
summaries, etc., so that the majority of BrickLink users can adjust to the change.
Next, the new color will be added to the catalog as "Trans-Black (2023)"
to make it very obvious that this is a new color and should not be used for older
set inventories and older parts being listed for sale. This addition is expected
to happen at the beginning of May when set 75346 is released and inventoried:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1398124
After a 6-month transition, we will remove the text in parentheses from both
color names. The older color will then be "Trans-Brown", and the
newer color will be "Trans-Black". This will complete the transition.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The question arises, why have we decided to go the route outlined above rather
than leaving "Trans-Black" aligned to LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown
and creating a new color name for the new LEGO color 375 Transparent Black? There
are several reasons.
First, we want to make sure that we do not create long-term confusion between
these colors, since we believe the new LEGO color 375 Transparent Black will
become the standard color and LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown will become just
another part of the history of the brick system we all know and love. As time
goes by, the older color will not be seen as often and the newer color will be
everywhere. And after what we hope is a relatively short period of time, BrickLink
users will adjust naturally to the change.
Second, coming up with a name for a new color is not an easy task. Although it
looks darker than the current LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown, it doesn't
look much different from what most people would say is some type of "transparent
blackish gray" color. Typically, new color names grow longer over time to
help distinguish from existing colors, so we could end up with something like
"Trans-Very Dark Bluish Gray".
Longer names are something we have come to accept in a catalog that covers the
entire history of LEGO colors, but it helps lower the entry barrier to BrickLink
when we can use simpler names at least for the most common colors. Using the
relatively short names "Trans-Brown" and "Trans-Black" are ideal
instead of retaining "Trans-Black" for the earlier color and creating
a longer name for the new color.
Finally, aligning the names of the two colors with the official LEGO color names
helps us future-proof the BrickLink catalog. By aligning these color names now,
we make sure that any other colors the LEGO Group may introduce within this range
in the future would not cause any further issues.
Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.
The BrickLink Catalog Administrative Team

using "muscles." It took me a long time to find this fig/torso using
other methods.
Bare flesh does not appear to be a solid rule or requirement when using the term
"muscles" to describe several other torsos, for example those for Batman

just "muscles"
