I don’t think I ever managed to not finish a build. Sleep is overrated!

Yes, there is sleep (I get 4-6 hrs. a night), but in truth it is the 3,000+ sq

4 cats (they take a LOT of my time, and to top it all off my LEGO business.

I consider myself lucky if I get to spend 2-3 hours a week building one of my
own sets.

How long does the approval process for new sets, parts, and inventories take?

I want to contribute some images, a new part, and the inventory for an exclusive
mexican set, but the set has been pending approval since May 13th.

I already counted all pieces, took pictures, uploaded them, created the new part
& minifig id's (I have its inventory in Bricktore minus the new piece & fig
waiting for their approval). I just wanna know the usual delay time of the process.

The set is: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=6469488-1#T=S&O={%22ss%22:%22MX%22,%22rpp%22:%22500%22,%22iconly%22:0}

New items can take a while to get added as there is always a massive backlog
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPend.asp
So bricklink prioritizes new sets that people will be more likely to part out
and similar and since a whole bunch of lego sets were just released with the
June wave it can take a while to get to old requests. Bricklink likes to prioritize
the ones that provide the most commercial benefit first they work on the other
ones as they have time since there are only a limited number of people who are
working behind the scenes

Makes sense, lets see how long it takes them to approve this obscure one, thanks!

Like everyone else, I was pretty pumped when the LEGO released their 10302 Transformers
Optimus Prime set in '22. I bought one a soon as I could. However, I wondered
if this means that there will a future for a transformer line. Or perhaps
more sets that coincide with the recent 10302 Optimus prime set like Starscream,
or a Bumblebee?I think that it would be a popular line that would be a real money
maker.

For years Transformer fans have had to collect the awful KRE-O sets just to come
close to a real lego set. but now LEGO has broken the barrier and created the
first official set!

I hope that this will spark a future for more sets! post your thoughts below.

I doubt it.

Hi, i purchased a set to part out in my store, set 11027 . It is not inventoried

not in catalog. There are multiple color 3004 with a black smile line,and a
14769 part that I cannot find. Also a shade of yellow for bricks im not sure
what color it would be under. I would inventory this set but with these issues
I dont know. Any help or suggestions?

https://brickset.com/sets/11027-1/Creative-Neon-Fun

Brickset is a great resource for looking at the LEGO data for inventories. The
new yellow color is Neon Yellow. Search for the 7-digit code printed in the instruction
booklets to look up parts you don't know here on BrickLink.

Please, let's keep this logical. The instruction manuals are getting larger
and larger due to adding less and less parts on each step of the build. If they
were really concerned about an ink issue, the instruction manuals would be getting
smaller or removed entirely.

As far as saving the planet, everything they make is made of plastic. And they
are making more and more of it each year, not less. Companies and capitalism
are fundamentally juxtaposed to saving the planet, because the end goal is to
take as much as you can and grow, grow, grow. That dynamic is never going to
change.

I can one up you:

Have a look through the instruction manuals for sets released this year:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?q=&catType=I&catID=&itemYear=2023

This is the new style for all instruction books. I think they look absolutely
awful now.

And they don't even put the set number on the instructions for 18+ sets.
I find that very annoying.

You are probably right there. The boxes still need to look good, but instructions
don't matter so much as the consumer has already bought it.

Although I actually prefer images where it is just the product shown, and it
is clear what is in the set. Same with boxes, I like the black ones but I know
I'm in the minority there.

When you are posting, click the Add macro button. It's hidden in plain sight

Or just write the code yourself:

Bracket: [
code: P for part, S for set, M for minifig, etc
Equal sign: =
Item number
Close bracket: ]

30651-1 (Inv) Quidditch Practice polybag
51 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2023

if it's a part or gear, you can get fancy and add a comma and color code
after the item number.

reply to comment and look how it's written: [ s = 30651 ] (remove spaces
