Thank you. That reveals another shortcoming in the BL implementation. That being
that, while you may be able to see that on the HTML web page display (assuming
you can click something that expands the sub-inventories), there is no option
to do likewise on the XML download of the set inventory. All I get in the XML
file is a flat rendering of the basic set inventory. It doesn’t reveal that this
part was an extra assigned to the minifig (which we can’t do in the inventory
section of the catalog, because that might imply that every sale of the minifig
comes with the extra).
In one sense it would be nice (I suspect) if extras were matched to the
item they are extra to, just like alternates are (but at the same time not trying
to say they are an alternate because they are not).
|
Extras _are_ matched to the item they are extra to. They are extra parts to the
set. That is how TLC defines them. They are not extra parts to a minifigure.
A minifigure is an assembly defined by BrickLink, and it should have no bearing
on the set that contains it. Basically, it is just another counterpart like all
other assemblies that are defined in the Counterparts section. Unfortunately,
the BrickLink system treats the minifigure assemblies as special items and all
of that needs to be changed. But the Sun may have gone supernova before that
ever happens.

The subject is the counterpart / combo for {30179 + x39c01}. There’s several
30179cxx, but not with x39c01 in Yellow.

There likely never will be, either, unless TLG decide to do a rerelease of 6434-1

The yellow door at the time of it's original release happened to fit the

coordinated and we know a lot more about the parts numbering scheme TLG uses

If there ever is a need for that particular yellow door in a set design, perhaps
they would reuse it, although given their color palette now, I'd expect it
would turn up in some shade of yellow.

I guess this open up (again) the eternal question … Is it better (or more correct)
to list the two individually and linked together as a superlot, or to create
a unique catalog entry for the combo. It is existential in one sense. I’m curious
if there are ground floor reasons that suggest one over the other (and this same
subject somewhat also applies to wheels and tyres).

Ouch! Yes, at some point the BL office dumped all our line-drawn images for part
renders. They decided to trade people complaining that our images were too small
for people complaining about the color of our images. What can we do?
We are still free to correct and upload images. The community still can improve
our catalog.
The old grays are a problem for sure. Those of us who spend time recoloring renders
(of which randyf is our fearless leader) tend to focus on getting new parts and
colors done and less on the vintage stuff.

I believe that replacing all the old images was a bad decision. I'm not
saying you specifically did it. I honestly don't know what individual or
group was responsible, but I do know that it has led to the trouble that this
thread's initiator experienced.
What a pompous question. You know exactly how to look up all of the catalog
images that I have contributed. I appreciate your many contributions to the
catalog, but I don't think that their vast number is a valid excuse to be
condescending to anyone.

And yes - sorting by color helps avoid this mistake. Unfortunately my parts are
sorted by type so when I am doing plates - I get all the plates of all the colors
I need etc. Then I have everything organized alphabetically as bricklink displays
them so I can, usually, get things done more quickly.

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!

Congrats!!

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!

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!

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

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

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
the community questioning wether or not variant minifigs such as this should
be given an sw number on here?
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...)

Further to this forum thread, I just checked Peeron and it does not list it as

My thoughts are that someone has incorrectly identified a color for this part,

Seems like it must be an error. Light Bluish Gray is not even listed as a known

True, not used in any sets. However... oddly there is a LEGO render of it on
