| HI there, I was browsing the catalog listings for the Darth Vader helmet type
2 on the BL, and I noticed that there appears to be a problem with the both listing
of the helmet and collar. 19916 and 19917 both appear to have a trans green-clear
option!? is this a listing for a test shot or something? any help would be appreciated.

| Hi all,
I have discovered that the LEGO House Tile has 2 versions, see below.
Appeared in sets 40502, 40501, 4000010 and 21037, with PCC 6089148.
And it was updated to:
And this newer version appears in sets 40503, 40563, 40504 and 40505, with PCC
6320270.
Once the newer tile has been approved I will update the set inventories above
accordingly, and add a relationship between the 2 tiles.
I have put in a request for the version currently in the catalogue to change
it's name and remove it's second PCC.
Any questions just let me know!
Thanks,
Josh

Quite new with all the catalog requests:
I added three new rare pieces I would like to sell. It's been quite a while

Is there a way to ask someone kindly to proceed with the upload?

|
| Hello,
This is regarding my new minifigure submission (njo884x; althought I'm not
the one who added the "x" ).
The minifigure was included in "b24njo02pl". The Polish title and multiple
mentions inside the book suggest a "hunter", although the English publisher
site (https://www.ameet.eu/book/lego-ninjagoempire-warrior/) mentions the following
names:
- "Imperium Warrior" (on the cover)
- "Imperium Hunter" (in the description)
- "Dragon Hunter no 29" (multiple mentions inside the book, can also
be found among book pictures on publisher's site)
Parts wise:
- torso, legs, head and helmet are the same as in njo815 ("Imperium Claw
General" )
- the only difference between this minifigure and njo815 is the lack of "Black
Minifigure Armor Shoulder Pads Spiked with Stud on Back"
- a "Imperium Claw Hunter" (njo817) is already known, but has different
set of torso, legs and helmet
Please advise how to correctly add this minifigure.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best,

|
| Is it possible to add a decimal for the reference weights for pieces (or at least
optional for very small pieces like the 1x1 round tiles (id 98138).
In the catalogue there is a 0.11g but I assume it is something just rounded up
to 0.11g (not sure the correct number.
Background id that I thought that checking a delivery (or simply counting stock
of a higher number) is much more efficient by checking the weight. Then I checked
my last order which just arrived of supposed 3100 pieces but the overall weight
was 320g. So either the weight is more like 0.10322g (then als 0.11g would be
rounded wrong) or I received significantly less items.
So I guess I will need to manually count quiet some to have a good sample estimation
myself
Or does anyone know out there how much 1000 or 10'000 of these should weight?

| Dear catalog admins,
part 30388pb015 seems to have extra line breaks at the end of the part name,
which appear in the tab delimited download and break the formatting.
My guess may be wrong but the Parts.txt export file currently looks like the

|
| Hi, I am new to Bricklink and am still learning how it works. I have many old
sets from my son, all from the late 90's and am trying to put them all together.
I have the instruction books for about 98% but am finding the books differ from
the set inventories on this site. For instance the Flame Chaser Helicopter #6531.
I have been using this reference to find all the pieces needed but now am concerned
that the instructions I have differ from the inventory I have been collecting.
Not really sure what my question is,, but am concerned the pieces don't
add up to the instruction books I have. I came online as some of the pieces were
difficult to see very well and was unsure of the colors needed. Why would these
differ from the instructions?
Hope this makes sense

wondering what people found in the set when they openend it as new: wave right
or left. Inventory in general, parts lists, say that the flags for this set are
wave left. So is the photo on the first page of the instructions wrong or are
the parts lists wrong?

I'm used to seeing variant messages for parts that have "soft" variants
- why do these merges not have them? I'd argue they are clearly significant
variants worth noting if they used to be listed separately.

| What was the point of merging 44302 and 54657? The other hinge bricks/plates?
All of the element numbers are gone and now it’s going to be harder to find the
specific variant.
This catalog project was a rushed and stupid idea.
Merging parts did not move element numbers over because the merging process doesn’t
come with that built into it. Was that something that site admin considered before
this bright idea? Nope. Why bother ensuring a smooth transition when you can
carry on without a plan in mind? After all, that seems to be par for site administration.
Listening to community complaints? A waste of time.
Improving site functionality? A bigger waste of time.
Considering that a project of this scale would undermine years of progress and
effort from your catalog administrators and community members? An even bigger
waste of time.
Then, catalog administrators and community members have to clean the mess up.

I've just finished sorting a joblot of old(ish) LEGO from a recent bulk purchase
(contains space police and other sets from the early 90s).
I noticed that all the 2x2 bricks in trans blue, green and red have no inner

I've had plenty of those with the supports but don't remember coming
across this variant before.
I'm assuming these are fairly common but what sets do they come from?

| HI Bricklink Team
Please can you either do the catalogue changes or not - I am listing a load of
printed tiles and some have the b and some don't. this is infuriating and
is meaning it is taking me longer to list than before.
I thought the changes were there to simplify matters. so far its the opposite
in every way plus we have a worse catalogue.
Also - and I fully admit I haven't been at my best the last few weeks due
to illness, but I thought we were getting an email with the parts in our inventory
it was affecting. Did I miss this ?

|
| So, this is sort of a wider-spread issue that would be adressed across several
sets, so I wanted to make one bigger post to adress this as I'm not sure
whether this should be handled through a note or through inventory changes, and
I want to ensure consistency.
I've noticed that several sets with SQUARE rubber bands, the set typically
includes twice the amount of rubber bands necessary to build the set, and these
are typically also included in the piece count listed on the box. However, on
Bricklink, these parts are handled inconsistently.
I've only looked at BIONICLE sets, for the time being.
The following contain 2 rubber bands in their piece count shown on the box, but
only uses one:
8545 Whenua already handles this through a note.
These are duplicates of the above sets but don't show a piece count:
Nui-Rama contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
2 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 138 - It erroneously excludes all 8 rubber
bands.
Strangely, on Bricks & Pieces, the pcs count is 294. In a LEGO Shop At Home catalogue
I've found, it is 246.
Muaka & Kane-ra contains 12 XS and 16 S rubber bands, but only 6 XS, respectively
8 S, are used in the main model, and 1 XS and 4 S in the alternate model. Box
pcs is 647.
Manas contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and 6 in
the alternate model. Box pcs is 442.
The same LEGO Shop At Home catalogue mentioned for the Nui-Rama, however, shows
the count of 428 - not sure what's up there.
Nui-Jaga contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
4 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 218. Like Whenua, this one is already
noted.
Tarakava contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
2 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 401.
As a tangential addendum of notes to add:
Exo-Toa box pcs is 360, erroneously excluding the rubber bands.
Lewa Nuva box pcs is 36 - as already noted, all of the 38 pieces in the set are
used in the instructions one way or another, and Bricks & Pieces says 38 as well.

|
| There's the Tile, Modified category, which includes parts like
All of which are obviously indeed "modified", because they are tiles
with something extra. So why aren't these round tiles (among others) considered
modified as well?
The same applies to plates; with the current logic, these are just a few that
should be Plate, Round, Modified. It's ... interesting to note that these
parts are instead spread across two categories as of now (Plate, Round & Tile,
Round).
But that's all about categories that don't exist yet. On a more immediate
note, I also wonder what the catalog's logic is for categorizing jumpers.
To me, they look primarily a tile, so I would think to look under Tile, Modified.
Especially with parts like
Bear with me here, I'm using that extreme example to make a point: It seems
like it meets the requirements to be classified as a jumper (flat piece with
studs only in the middle, and antistuds on the bottom). And when you look at
that part, or an officially recognized 1x2 jumper, do you see "a tile with
studs", or "a plate with studs not there and/or moved to the middle
of the part"? The latter is nonsense, frankly. Never mind the fact that jumpers
now have a groove, a feature which is reserved for what? Tiles.
And look at parts like
that are already under Tile, Modified, and rightly so. Now look at a jumper.
Is that jumper closer to the above part, or the below part from Plate, Modified?
I'm sorry, but the answer is obvious. Jumpers are modified tiles.
Similarly, more catalog browsing leads us to this part, which is under Plate,
Modified, despite being an undeniable relative of 33909 (and therefore should
most certainly be considered a modified tile)
Anyway, to sum it up, I think the categorization logic needs better consistency.
Modified round tiles/plates should get their own category, and jumpers should
go under Tile, Modified instead of Plate, Modified (and if they're round,
put them under the newly created Tile, Round, Modified). I'm curious about
the current reasoning for the way this all is right now. I'm sure I'm
not the first to think of these things, and while I feel strongly about these
changes and that my logic is sound, I'm obligated to assume I'm missing
something and that it's the way it currently is for a reason.

|
| Hello
Collecting parts for 6468-1. Part 6014u is listed. Trying to decide between
6014a and 6014b. Colour of interest is white. Set year is 1999
Observations from catalog:
6014a: all colours 1991-2003, 163 sets -- year 1999, 24 sets -- 16 White,
2 Light Grey, 6 Yellow.
6014b: all colours 1999-2024, 563 sets -- year 1999, 1 set White
Further Part 6014a is a subpart in to Parts:
6014ac01(6014a 6015) and
30187c01 Tricycle with Dark Gray Chassis & White Wheels
Using part 30187c01, a search of the catalog identifies problems with inventories
of the following sets:
1) 6459-1 1999 lists parts Yellow 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014u
Recommend changing it to 6014a.
2) 6636-1 2002 lists parts White 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014b
Recommend changing it to 6014a.
3) 7034-1 2003 lists parts White 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014b
Recommend changing it to 6014a.
4) 4556-1 1999 lists parts Yellow 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014b
Recommend changing it to 6014a.
Of most interest to me in regard to set 6468-1 is the likely error in set 4556-1
as it is the only set in the year 1999 where part 6014b appears. I would argue
that if that set is changed to 6014a, then there would be no sets before 2000
where 6014b appears. That would suggest strongly that set 6468-1 should also
be changed to 6014a.
Hope this is helpful to the BL community
Regards

| Good evening,
I've discovered a functional difference between parts 30103 and 90394.
The hole in part 30103 is deeper inside, as you can see with the bar inside.
Does this need to be indicated and parts separated ?
Thank you,

| Why is the round Friends alien in set 42605 not considered a Minifig, while their
slimmer sibling from the City sets (cty1727) is? The instructions do not have
this figure as part of a larger assembly, so there is no reason for this
egregious double-standard!
Please remove parts 3262pb05 (Lime, 1x) and 15469 (Lime, 1x) from the main inventory
of set 42605, and add the alien Minifig entry that I created. I will have a pic

many other heads apear sepparate in the search page ..solid/open/blocked open

| Hello,
I have a Maxi Zoo set (numbered 2669) that was around in Brazil in the 90s. It
is different from the 2669 referenced on Bricklink: it came with a "Duplo
Figure, Male, Black Legs, Green Top with Vest, Gray Hair, Glasses" instead
of a "Duplo Figure, Child Type 1 Boy, Yellow Legs, Blue Top with Red Suspenders,
Red Hair, Freckles, White in Eyes", and the trees were two brown "Duplo,
Plant Tree Trunk Segment Base" (picture below).
Could this version be added to the catalog as 2669-2?

| I was working on the archive for a few parts when I was working on 30151 when
I remembered an old thread
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1408010
and that these parts are being merged
For reference the old version 30151a (blocked open stud) along with (presumably)
some versions of 30151b are able to hold a connection with
and Meanwhile multiple of 30151b (hollow stud)
have no connection and falls right off making it not usable for the figure.
Should this be looked into more before they are merged? it is a functional difference
used in official lego sets.
Ive confirmed this 100% with parts on hand and would include pictures but I dont
exactly know how to include pictures of a part falling off.

| Hello again everyone,
This is my official response to the video from R.R. Slugger concerning the merging
of part variants in the BrickLink catalog:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGRxNX8Cg_o&t=1s
Here is an initial response to the video, specifically regarding the set inventory
for the Core Magnetizer:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1450164
Here is today's response:
*************************************
I’ll start with a couple points I actually agree with Slugger on:
1) BrickLink certainly is an invaluable tool, and one of the things that has
motivated me to invest in the catalog over the years, long before I became a
community admin or started working in the BrickLink office, was knowing that
whatever corrections or additions I would make would instantly circle the globe
and potentially benefit thousands of fans everywhere.
2) Regarding the suggestion to double down on accuracy – that is actually what
we’re doing, if you look at the big picture. I remember discussing with one of
the authors of the LEGO Collector books that came out a few years ago:
and one of the points we discussed was why certain things weren’t included in
a publication that was so comprehensive. The answer was that if a particular
data field didn’t have at least 80% of the data, then there were questions raised
as to how useful that field would be.
Of course this case does not cover all of the changes being made to the BrickLink
catalog, but it does pertain to some of them. The smooth slopes and frosted bricks,
even after 20 years of accepting data from the community, have a very weak connection
to our inventory system. Many of the parts are not represented even a single
time, and of those that are represented, there are serious questions as to the
accuracy of the inventory change requests.
The biggest obstacle in separating variants on BrickLink, especially the older
ones, is lack of real data. So the question comes up, should we have entries
on BrickLink that can’t or never will be represented sufficiently in the inventory
system?
Being orphaned or partially orphaned from the system is a bad thing, and our
stance on that is one of the things that has really changed since Dan built the
inventory system in the early 2000s. It used to be acceptable to have entries
floating around just for buying and selling, but over time we have realized the
power of our inventory system, to the extent that we now use artificial inventories
to represent certain parts (like BAM parts):
By removing some of these variants, the accuracy and inclusiveness of the inventory
system goes up, and that is the primary driving force behind these current changes.
Why not just fill out the data instead of consolidating entries? Because we simply
do not have the data, and if we did, we couldn’t handle it all anyway. There
is no way we can add thousands of new minifigure inventories to the system simply
to accommodate different types of studs.
Next I’d like to give an actual example or something that WILL be lost in
the transition.
Slugger is right – just because the example he gave may not have been the perfect
example, it doesn’t negate the point that something will be lost. So here goes:
Set 7171 from 1999 (Mos Espa Podrace):
is one of the celebrated early Star Wars sets and as such we may consider it
to be at the pinnacle of collector interest. In that set is a yellow dome with
a “blocked open stud” which is part no. 30151a:
[p=30151a,3]
The next version of that part by all accounts was introduced around 2010,
[p=30151b]
and by that time, the Mos Espa Podrace had long been retired. So we can say with
reasonable certainty that this set came originally with domes with blocked open
studs. If you see a copy of the set sitting on someone’s shelf and the domes
on Anakin’s podracer have hollow studs (no little Mercedes symbol), that is a
sure sign that the parts, and maybe even the whole set, is not original.
So if the BrickLink catalog stops distinguishing the “a” from the “b” version,
someone might build it wrong and wouldn’t even know it! However, as a quiz question
for savvy readers, why would this scenario never actually happen in the real
world? What do we know about these the 30151 variants that puts this problem
completely into the realm of the hypothetical?
Next example, set 4778-1 from 2005 (Desert Biplane):
This is not Star Wars buts it’s still a classic in my book. There is a different
kind of dome on the front of this plane (553), but it has the same issues as
the previously mentioned dome part.
[p=553b,5]
This set is from 2005, so it’s not likely that it ever came with the “c” variant.
The 2008 appearance is in the first UCS Death Star which had a really long production
run and has over 50 lines of variants in the BrickLink inventory:
But if this little set were produced up through 2010, there might be a real possibility
of seeing one with a “c” variant.
[p=553c,5]
So with the current merges, this is data that would be lost. People wouldn’t
know about the stud variants, and someone could get any of 3 different stud types
– blocked open, hollow, or even vented. All three exist in red.
[p=3262,5]
Next up is set 6745-1 from 2009 (Propeller Power).
This also has a red 533 on the nose of the plane, but here the inventory system
says it could have either the “b” or “c” variant. Check the change log to see
if you recognize any of the people who added these variants to the set:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=6745-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1
We’re pretty sure this came with both “b” and “c” types. It didn’t come with
a vented stud, and someone might mistakenly put one on this model if BrickLink
doesn’t educate them about it, right? That is the premise on why we need these
variants in the catalog, correct?
The thing is, how can we tolerate the difference of stud type in this model,
and not in other models where it is historically incorrect? In this plane model
from 2009, both are correct, so what does that say about the mixing of variants
in other models?
True collectors know that there actually is no replacement part that will ever
perfectly replace a part that is lost. The only truly correct part is the part
the set originally came with. It’s nice to get as close as possible to a correct
replacement part, but it’s a futile attempt.
So I will admit that something is lost in the catalog by harmonizing all the
hollow studs types. But the second message is that whatever is lost is quite
unimportant in relation to the effort it takes for the BrickLink community to
recognize these variants.
We weighed it up, and decided that stud types are not important enough. They
have some importance, and there are some workarounds available for the people
who really want to go down that path. But overall, what we seem to be losing
is less than what we believe we are gaining.
**************************************
One more detail about the video – in navigating around the BrickLink catalog,
I noticed Slugger used the new inventory tab on the catalog page instead of the
proper inventory page accessible by the link at the top of the page.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=6989-1
There are multiple problems with this version of the inventory. First, there
is no link to the change log, which for specialists is a must. Reading the change
log lets you determine the accuracy of the data you are consuming.
Second, the match IDs do not line up with the inventory notes, so any mention,
for example, of “match ID 99” (which is critical to understanding variant inventories)
doesn’t make any sense.
Indispensable
Some of my colleagues were surprised to see such a strong reaction from our users
on this topic. But the fact is, variants are an indispensable feature of the
BrickLink catalog and they are one of the main reasons for the “sealed set” standard
we maintain for new inventories. Keeping this standard comes at a cost, and it’s
important for people to know that all of this work and energy is appreciated.
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1103
BrickLink is not descending into a parts oblivion where nothing is distinguished.
I made that very clear from the very first announcement. This is simply a mid-way
correction to enable us to do better at what we already do. I trust that over
the coming months and years you will come around to believing me on that point.

pretty often but I'm still a novice with the program in general.
Is there an easy way to grab the entire BrickLink 'known' Bionicle Kanohi

What’s the deal with
The part has been added to the catalogue but is not in any set.
— Brickset doesn’t have it anymore.
“Anymore” because, obviously, the BL image is a render from LEGO, and Rebrickable
has a link to its (now non-existent) page on Brickset.
— Rebrickable has it as an alternate for

— I think I remember it being shown on some site (NewElementary?) but I can’t

| Hello again everyone,
Below I have listed the general groups of variants we are tackling and the results
of the deliberation over the last month. I was originally planning to provide
a schedule for when these changes will happen, but based on the progress with
the tiles since February 1, I am hesitant to commit to any timeline except that
we will not change anything on this list prior to February 15.
Frosted bricks
These will be merged as planned, and a new Help Page is being written on this
topic.
Smooth slopes
These will be merged as planned, and a new Help Page is being written on this
topic.
Connections between studs
This whole class of variants will NOT be merged as part of this project. Complete
research needs to be done for the related 1 x 3 inverted slopes and the differing
angles, plus more work to understand how the 2 x 2 inverted slope relates to
these parts.
Sprue marks
The minifigure chair was the only one in this category and it will be merged
as planned.
Torsos with ribs
This whole class of variants will NOT be merged as part of this project. However,
we will rename these parts to remove the “ribs” depending on if we can get some
better photos. We will also place a moratorium on any new torsos distinguished
by underside ribs.
Inside supports
We will merge 46212 (Brick 1 x 2 x 5) as planned, but as part of this project
we will not be touching 32064c (Brick 1 x 2 with Axle Hole and Side Supports)
or 10247 (Plate Modified 2 x 2 with Pin Hole). More research needs to be done
in regards to the practical use cases of the parts and their actual use in LEGO
sets. As part of this project, however, we will also mark part 772 for deletion
(with a 3 month time frame before a merge), even though it wasn’t on the original
list. This variant likely does not even exist and it’s similar in class to the
46212.
X-shaped axle holes
These will be merged as planned.
Hinges with teeth
These will be merged as planned, and a new Help Page is being written on this
topic.
Duplo bricks with bottom tubes
These will be merged as planned.
Blocked and vented studs
These will be merged as planned, and a new Help Page is being written on this
topic.
Determined entries for very common parts
Update: We are well on our way through the decorated versions of 3 out of the
4 parts. Another 250 of these are scheduled to be changed on Tuesday (tomorrow).

| Variant Merge - How do I sort this out after being close for a couple years.
I had always hoped to reopen when my elderly parent caregiver roll had ended.
I feel like it's just not worth the bother to merge or update all these parts
with "notes" of variants. That's quite ridiculous. I don't know
what the push is, but this is certainly pushing me to the point of - is it worth
my time?
This is a very bad, generic move - the catalog was awesome, now no more.
Really. I'm not sure what to do to keep my inventory current now.
Apparently, I've missed a lot.

I have submitted 2 Minifigure name change requests.
For Ron Weasley from Harry Potter
Figs hp113 and hp123
The torso, used in two sets, represents the Ron from Order of the Phoenix.
The Red Plaid or Tartan sweater he wore had brown sleeves. It was not a vest.
The Hogwarts express set had Black legs, Diagon Alley had Reddish Brown legs.
Just trying to make it easier to notice the difference and similarities between
the two figures.
Thanks.

| Considering the recent displeasure of the community regarding variants, why is
BrickLink adding to the variant problem with new catalog entries like these?
Instead of wandering aimlessly with no plan whatsoever and still
no written guidelines for variants, it might be wiser for this website to employ
someone at a high level who is capable of crafting solid, long-term visions for

|
| This mask genuinely keeps me up at night. It shouldn't exist, and yet...
This mask came to me from a guy here in NZ, who owned it since he was a kid.
His parents owned a toy shop in the 2000s, which might be relevant. He claims
he never painted, dyed, or otherwise modified this piece, and sold it to me as
a sundamaged white Hau. I have no clue what it is.
Theory 1: Prototype/Test Tan Hau
Counterpoint: the mask is white underneath, note the small scratches around the
mouth stud showing white plastic.
Theory 2: Sun Damage
Counterpoint: the colouration is perfect. No inconsistency whatsoever, all facets
are equally tan. Coverage is also perfect, even inside the mouth stud, all facets
of the grills, the inside of the mouth hole etc.
Theory 3: Modified white Hau
Counterpoint: sole previous owner is just as confused as I am, and genuinely
believed it was just sun damaged. He had no idea how said damage would have occurred,
he just assumed it was once white and copped some sun.
Help?

| I was looking at the advent calendars for Harry Potter, and I noticed a discrepancy.
the 2019 advent calendar lists the snowman as a minifig, whereas the 2023 one
does not.
I know that statues are listed as minifigs, so it stands to reason that snowmen
would be too.
Is there a reason the 2023 snowman is not a minifig? Or is it simply because
no one has entered it as such? Even the snowman from the Christmas Accessories
polybag is listed as a minifig. Hol170
It seems to me, that these Advent Calendar days should have a listing for the
snowman as a minifig.
76418-25 Harry Potter
76267-6 Avengers
76231-18 Guardians of the Galaxy
Also, ID conventions...
The Harry Potter "Snow Wizard" is cataloged as generic hol161.
But other licensed themes are listed as follows.
sh759 "Snowman Iron Man"
sw1134 "Snowman - Rebel Pilot Helmet"
sw0424 "Astromech Droid, R2-D2, Snowman"
sw1133 "Snowman - Imperial Pilot Helmet"
sw1120 "Snowman Gonk Droid (GNK Power Droid)"
The Harry Potter snowman should be renamed to match this ID convention.
If this is something that I can do, I will start working on it.
Thanks.

|
| Had this first image cross my path today, a supposedly non-glittery Avohkii.
It reminded me of a damaged one I had in my sad bin, which had a chunk of its
crest missing its trademark shininess. I had to mess with a bunch of other stripping
chemicals anyway (bonus pic of my shiny new dechromed Light Grey Hau) so I figured
I'd chuck this in some chems and see what happened.
Evapo-Rust was unreactive, unsurprisingly. I only used that because I knew it
could strip galvanisation off screws and I had the ex-chrome Hau to test (also
no reaction). Simple Green concentrate was similarly unreactive, but stripped
the Hau perfectly when used with the ultrasonic cleaner. I did manage to get
a positive reaction with IPA, and was able to get the glitter layer to go tacky.
I scraped off the majority of the central crest with my thumbnail as a proof
of concept sorta thing. I can confirm that it's just a layer over top. There's
a milky white transparent mask underneath. I feel cheated.
I've currently got it sitting overnight in a bath of acetone-based nail polish
remover (hardware store was closed, supermarket was not lmao) and will strip
the glitter 'varnish' off entirely. I'd love to know exactly what
this glitter layer is made of, if anyone has any insight? It might make removing
it a little easier.
The next question here is: what colour actually is this? I was under the impression
117 Glitter Trans-Clear was plastic with embedded glitter, not just a coating.
Would this just be 40 Trans-Clear + shiny varnish?

|
| When LEGO tried to develop a larger brick for young children, they first experimented
with Jumbo bricks. Soon, these were replaced by the Duplo size we stil know today.
The LEGO designers tried several things, and as a result there are two very different
versions of the 2x4 Jumbo brick x1446.
Samsonite verion
Best known is the Samsonite version.
These bricks were designed in Denmark using the metric system, but produced and
released in North America. A 1x1x1 brick unit size would be 25x25x25 mm, minus
(2 x 0,2 mm) tolerance taken from the ends to allow for building. The resulting
2x4 brick would be 50 x 100 x 25 mm minus a tolerance taken from the length and
with to allow for easy building. As a result, the actual 2x4 brick is 49,6 x
99,6 x 25 mm in size.
This is close to imperial (inch) based sizes, but it really is SI metric. The
height including the stud (and logo) is 30,3 mm. The stud diameter is 21,6 mm,
noticably larger than on the European bricks.
The Samsonite Jumbo bricks are generally known to "not work with any other
LEGO system", but in reality the size of these bricks IS exactly 5x the Modulex
system. The bricks themselves don't connect with each other though.
Samsonite Jumbo bricks were used in:
European version
Less known is the European version of the Jumbo bricks. This seems to be mainly
because they were made in smaller quantities and were available for a shorter
time.
The size of these bricks is exactly 3x the regular system. This seems to be a
later design idea, leading to the 2x system size of the later Duplo bricks.
A 1x1x1 brick unit size would be 24x24x28,8 mm, minus (2 x 0,2 mm) tolerance
taken from the ends to allow for building. As a result, the actual 2x4 brick
is 47,6 x 95,6 x 28,8 mm in size. The height including the stud (and logo) is
34,3 mm. The stud diameter is 17,9 mm, noticably smaller than on the Samsonite
bricks.
European Jumbo bricks were used in:
Looking at the images (especially when you find better quality images of these
sets), the difference in relative stud size is recognisable.

|
| On the bottom of the inventory page of these sets, it is written:
The instructions do not show a trailer on the ladder truck, but actual set
contents and the official piece count (218) and an image of all three trailers
together on the box, prove that the set did come with the necessary pieces to
build the third trailer.
I found and bought an extra white-and-black sheet from a Lego fan in Canada.
This is probably added as extra page for instructions of 357 to some copies of
this set. I say some, because I had not seen this sheet. I bought myself this
set with box and all parts from a Canadian seller in very good condition but
this sheet was not there neither.
The paper I bought might be itself a copy of an original one because the bottom
of the page seems to not been copies (the bottom rectangle don't have a line
and there is no number on the footprint). I don't know how to verify whether
my sheet is original.
This extra sheet proves that the set did come with the necessary pieces to build
the third trailer.
I suggest to modify the note for these two sets:
The instructions do not show a trailer on the ladder truck, but one extra printed
page was added to some copies of this set (see the extra photo of instructions'
page) and actual set contents and the official piece count (218) and an image
of all three trailers together on the box, prove that the set did come with the
necessary pieces to build the third trailer.

The b) versions are older than the (current) a) versions.
Shouldn't thus the older versions be renumbered to 4738a/4739a and current
4738a/4739a be renumbered to 4738b/4739b?
(Same with 2739a and 2739b technic links, by the way; and I seem to remember
a few other parts suffering from this and reckon this is a known issue, if an
issue at all, but seems odd at least.)

I do not like as a buyer or seller there decisions. Who cares if a part has a
line or not. However head variances are period correct variances. So are torso
ribs. Not as concerned about shapes of holes or number of teeth. However I spent
a lot listing the variances and now more to keep them separate. Plus every time
they move things to a different category because they think they know better
even if it makes no sense. It creates more work for sellers moving there inventory
around and trying to remember were it is now. Just one mans opinion

laughably bad. There are 9 official Lego silvers/chromes/gunmetals, and you only
recognise 4.5, at best.
I have repeatedly offered you the information you need to fix this issue, and
have not once received even a reply for my efforts. Instead, BrickLink is more
interested in maintaining their poorly-categorised colours, removing accurate
listings (how can I include rubber bands with a set, when said rubber bands are
23 years old and dust?), and ignoring the fella trying to literally hand you
the answer to this issue, and also ruining your database by no longer tracking
part variants. You do realise some of those 'insignificant' changes actually

1. I've really combed the catalog and pending items and can't find the

it's a minifig or a part such as animal/land/space. I also haven't found
the head, but can submit that too.
2. The robot shown on page 9 of the second instructions is a counterpart. Should
this be added as a separate counterpart during inventorying? If so, what is it?
A part, or a space exploration minifig, such as cty1447?

| Part 46212, besides being designed for transparency and so cosmetically very
different on any build, has a functional advantage over its side support counterpart
shown here in the Ninjago City instructions. Sure, placed elements are only visible
with transparent colors, but it can be used to conceal elements in solid colors
as well, or attach to tile parts as a loose connection, something the side support
version cannot do.
Please do not merge this part to 2454.

|
| Hello everyone, I’ve been reading up on the multiple threads about the proposed
merge of variants. Setting aside the pros and cons of the change, I have a
question that may have material impact for any stores that are using the API
function. From what I can read it appears that one step in the merge plan is
to actually merge lot numbers together in a sellers inventory. That can create
huge problems for API users, as there is no function to link an inventory lot
ID number to a different inventory number.
My recommendation would be to leave all lot IDs existing and not merge them,
but just change the part number on both lots to the new post-merge item ID number.
So, for example, if a seller had one lot of 3747a and another lot of 3747b, then,
after the merge they would simply have two lots of 3747, and be able to make
the decision to physically combine those, keep them separate with notes, or just
leave the two lots in place.
Can we please get some specific technical information on the proposed actions
within the database and as someone commented previously it may be worthwhile
to send a targeted email to all API users alerting them of the detail of the
change, as some may not be reading the forum.
Thanks. -Jason
