Today we received this update of items that were moved to another category:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2599

I strongly object to the movement of below parts to the Arch category.

 
Part No: 4190  Name: Arch 2 x 2 Inverted Corner with Recessed Stud
* 
4190 Arch 2 x 2 Inverted Corner with Recessed Stud
Parts: Arch {Dark Bluish Gray}

and
 
Part No: 73682  Name: Arch 3 x 3 Inverted Corner with Raised Hollow Stud
* 
73682 Arch 3 x 3 Inverted Corner with Raised Hollow Stud
Parts: Arch {Black}

The definition of an arch according to the Oxford dictionary is:

a curved symmetrical structure spanning an opening and typically supporting
the weight of a bridge, roof, or wall above it.


Neither of those parts fulfil that description. They do not span an opening.
They maybe help to raise an adjoining element.

This becomes more obvious if you look at the 39 parts that are now categorized
as Arch.
There are exactly two parts that don't look like any other part in this category,
the other 37 parts do.
See picture below or this link: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=6

I strongly suggest to undo the movement since it is not at all logical, not following
the definition of an arch and certainly doesn't a help a user to search for
an item like 4190 or 73682.

My suggestion is to move these items to Plate, Modified or Tile, Modified.

Please support my suggestion by replying with an upvote -- no need to cite
my post, just say +1

Sorry if I have missed something, but who and why is changing Stickers Package
Type from Weight To Volume Bound thus making Instant Checkout unavailable?

Thank you.

I have this part 30530 and it has molded in the bottom "3 - 01"

I'm not sure if it is authentic or not...No LEGO mold...


Thanks and Regards!

Souce: sealed set (European version). It was 66gr (not 55gr that was a typo).

I note that the weight of Canadian box is about 10-11gr more. Checked this with
two copies of European box and two copies of Canadian box. Though, the size of
boxes are exactly the same and they look identical, besides the extra prints
on the Canadian box.

So

The weight of empty Canadian box: 28gr
The weight of empty European box: 18gr

The weight of Canadian complete set with box and instruction (and considering
1gr extra for a mini catalog): 76gr
The weight of European sealed set: 66gr

Please add these as additional note.
If time permits, I add photos of both boxes.

While I was working on cleaning up part
 
Part No: 4532  Name: Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 (Undetermined Type)
* 
4532 Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Container {Light Bluish Gray}
I came across multiple sets such as
 
Set No: 71006  Name: The Simpsons House
* 
71006-1 (Inv) The Simpsons House
2504 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2014
Sets: The Simpsons
where they have the undetermined
as a normal entry and then have a solid/hollow version as an alternate in the
set.

for example set
 
Set No: 71006  Name: The Simpsons House
* 
71006-1 (Inv) The Simpsons House
2504 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2014
Sets: The Simpsons
has
 
Part No: 4532  Name: Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 (Undetermined Type)
* 
4532 Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Container {Orange}
as a regular part with match ID 10

then has
 
Part No: 4532a  Name: Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 - Solid Studs
* 
4532a Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 - Solid Studs
Parts: Container {Orange}
as an alternate with match ID 10

but when watching a new build of the set it has
 
Part No: 4532b  Name: Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 - Hollow Studs
* 
4532b Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 - Hollow Studs
Parts: Container {Orange}

then there are sets like
 
Set No: 3179  Name: Repair Truck
* 
3179-1 (Inv) Repair Truck
114 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2010
Sets: Town: City: Traffic
where
 
Part No: 4532a  Name: Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 - Solid Studs
* 
4532a Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 - Solid Studs
Parts: Container {Light Bluish Gray}
with match ID 3 in the main section and
 
Part No: 4532  Name: Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 (Undetermined Type)
* 
4532 Container, Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Container {Light Bluish Gray}
with match ID 3 is listed as an alternate.

so I'm a little confused as to how to handle these ones. when alternates
are the main part in the inventory and the a or b is in the alternates or when
a or b is in the main inventory and the undetermined version is listed as an
alternate is this something that happened when the part was separated? I dont
really know what to do with these
Thanks!

All the set images show the four nails on the right side and two on the left.
The image appears to be reversed. I'm a bit tired anyone else see the same
thing

I added something to the Toy, Early database on January 20th and it's still
sitting there. I have one of these items which I might want to sell, but I can't
because my post is still sitting there unapproved and seemingly un-looked at.
I have photos of some surviving examples, I have dates of availability on the
original set... what's the hold up?
