So there is an inconsistent approach.

ways based on the needs of the person viewing that inventory. You don't
think so, because you want inventories to be structured in the specific way that

Why not just agree with me that inventories can do more than the system currently

This feels like a false choice. Of course we would all like to see greater convenience
and functionality, but that does not mean we should allow information and functionality
to be removed now in the hope that someday we'll have a system
that lets us put it back. How about we use the existing functionality,
which will support all the information people want, including the full box contents
as they were packaged as well as the parts that form a "complete" set, and then
when (if) those extra features come along we can talk about how to use them?
Because we have put the cart firmly before the horse, here. There are thousands
of complete set listings right now that do not include all the parts Bricklink
says they should - some of them quite expensive parts. This is not due to any
error or wrongdoing by the sellers. It is purely the result of inventory changes
that have been made to accord with bad policies. I don't hear anybody really
defending that. I'm not surprised, as it seems indefensible.

Yes, the OP is correct, but for the wrong reason. The inventory would still be
"correct" even if the instructions only showed the two darts that can be held
by the model, because there are three darts in the parts list. The parts list
determines whether a part is extra or not, and not the building instructions.

That is absolutely false. From BrickLink guidelines for what should be included
in the Regular Items section of an inventory:
"Parts required to build the main model and any secondary models plus
any other parts on the official parts list. In the absence of an official parts
list, the official parts count, the instructions, and/or images on the packaging
are used to determine as closely as possible the contents of this section."

That is absolutely false. From the Standards for Inventorying a Set section,
which explicitly states that the source of an inventory should be a physical
copy of a set:
|
You have forgotten to boldface plus any other parts on the official parts
list.
Since there will be no parts in the building instructions that are not also on
the parts list, the parts list is all that matters.

"You should have a physical copy of the set you are inventorying to properly
identify the parts and colors. When this is not possible for old or rare sets,
then it is acceptable to use the instructions, set picture, or parts list (sometimes
printed on the box or in the instructions) to complete the inventory."
I hope the following sentence clears the confusion:
BrickLink inventories are based on what actually came in the box or bag.
Parts lists have errors. Set photos have errors. Building instructions have
errors. You like the idea of simple, straightforward, commonsense guidelines,
Don. Well, the sentence in bold text above is as simple and as sensible as you
can possibly get and you should applaud this if you stand behind your principles.

As I have pointed out elsewhere, packing a lot of vagueness into a short statement
does not make it more simple. "Based on" is the slippery term, here.
You are playing fast and loose with the definition of "inventory." The discussion
here is not about the complete inventory page, but in what section the parts
appear within that inventory. Nobody disputes that if three darts came in the
box, three darts should appear somewhere on the inventory page for the set. However
as is demonstrated by the existence of this thread, there are many people who
have come to understand that the regular section represents only the parts included
in the building instructions. For purposes of classifying parts within the inventory,
the building instructions do not matter.
| |
I understand and have participated in the debate about how to best represent
what came in the box or bag, but saying that BrickLink bases inventories on the
parts list only and that inventories are not based on the building instructions
at all is spreading misinformation.
|
I disagree. The building instructions are not used to determine whether a part
is in the Extras sections or the Regular section. The parts list is used for
this determination. The building instructions do not matter.
Where the building instructions do matter is in the determination of a
"complete" set. Unfortunately, since the fairly recent romp through the inventories,
Bricklink is no longer a reference point for this information. It is now up to
each individual seller to verify their own complete set listing against the building
instructions. It takes about thirty seconds to amass thousands of listings for
used, complete sets with the remarks that they do not include the "extras." What
sellers almost always mean by "extras" is "the parts listed in the Extras section
of the inventory."
The admins know this, but the official response is, well, you know, it says at
the bottom of the page the inventory is just a guide, so, you know, let's
just pretend that our actions have no consequences and make with the change requests.

Bricklink set inventories are not based on the building instructions at all.
The printed parts list is the only thing that matters. It is a widespread misunderstanding
that the regular section of the inventory lists the parts needed to complete
the set according to the instructions.

All three are listed. But only two were used. There is no place for the third
one.

Hello,
I think the the answer for you 2nd question is on the note at the bottom of Inventory:
Regarding the curved conducting rails included in this set, the timeline for
inclusion in sets is believed to be as follows:

Connection Holes shown in the Regular Items section
1981: 16 of part 3241 Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Curved shown in the

1982: 15 of part 3241 Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Curved, 1 of part

Don't worry about it. This is a piece that normally has extras included,
but the extra parts can vary by production batch.For extra pieces, the Bricklink
inventory is a guide only and your contents may be different.

| Yes, it is quite likely that some of the clear 3024 are extras and that they
have not yet been determined in BL's set inventory.

Think of it in terms of sold-in-units-of. In other words, if you place a one
in the box when listing, shoppers are able to buy in units of one, i.e. 1, 2,
3, 4, 5 through to any amount you make available. If you place a two in the box,
shoppers are restricted to buying in units of two, i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10…
And so it goes with any other number place there.
The format is beneficial in several ways, which you’ll learn of, as you gain
experience at selling here. You'll find the tier pricing (to the right) no
doubt useful as well.

the listing page? I don't want the buyer to have to buy a certain amount
of a particular item. I just want them to be able to buy the amount they want
so what number do I put in this box ? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

The only way is to upload an XML file. However, I've not had great experiences
with that and you still need to create the file.
For a set this old, unfortunately, a person just has to do the work. Are you
not wanting to open the sealed bags?

Depends on how long you want to wait. That set's been in the catalog uninventoried
for 18 years now . . .

I noticed there was a sealed one on eBay recently and I've been thinking
about spending the $100+ just to add an inventory to BrickLink. You could save
me that cost if you wanted to add the inventory. Just saying.

| I have an open brick box but the polybags inside are all still sealed. The set
is currently without an inventory
There are nine bags of bricks and each one is different. I tried inventorying
the sealed bags but after one polybag I decided it was taking too much time.
I'm wondering if there are other options to inventory this such as submitting
a list of unique parts (but with quantities of one or estimated quantities) or
is it better to just wait until someone opens the sealed polybags to get accurate
quantities?

Correct! And close enough to what I was looking for that I will count it right.
So the unwritten policy is that when figures are not clearly defined, then they
are not added to the catalog. This usually only happens for sets that lack instructions,
but has been an issue for other sets, too (like when a figure is included with
both male and female hair).
So for this set the male figure is shown both with red legs (while standing on
the shoulder of the giant) and blue legs (while seated in the amusement ride).
This set, being Freestyle, likely didn't include instructions. So the male
figure should not have been inventoried in the set. I only recently discovered
my error. Oops.
I probably approved that inventory myself, BTW, since I was an IA at the time.
What needs to happen here is that both figures should be removed from the inventory
and their constituent parts added to the inventory instead.
As a reward for getting it pretty much right (and it was a tough one), I will
release a truly rare item: a photograph of myself. This is the first time one
of these has ever appeared anywhere on BrickLink and you will be the first to
see it. It was taken within the last six months.
As promised, it is not a prize.

No, the part arriving in new sets disassembled is a more recent phenomenon.
As you can see from sets in 1998, this part came assembled:

At least three ways to do that:
1. Become a seller and keep your store closed.
2. Use BrickStock (or your own tools) and manage your inventory offline.
3. Use https://rebrickable.com/
|
Awesome thanks, rebrickable is what I needed thanks but it would be cool if it
could be built in to bricklink.
|
There is good cooperation between BrickLink and Rebrickable. At the bottom of
each BrickLink Set Inventory there is a link to the set at Rebrickable. This
lets you quickly see if you own the set already.
At Rebrickable you can use the Build this Set Feature to see what parts you have
and what parts you need to buy. Once you know what you need, you can use the
Buy Parts to get a list of BrickLink stores that have parts you need. Those
you need can be added directly to a BrickLink cart or you can export the parts
to a BrickLink wanted list.
I am Thea at both BrickLink and Rebrickable.

polished versions. Should I say the set has 5 polished versions and 2 frosted
versions like someone carefully made it this way or should I say there are 7
polished ones with 7 frosted ones as an alternate?

I am talking to myself here, I know, but I'm talking with 18 months of experience
and much more Clikits knowledge. If I don't get around to getting a more
concrete answer from more sealed sets, I can at least answer one question more
definitively. After opening and inspecting sealed copies of almost every Clikits
set, I have never found a mixture of frosted and polished in the same color again.
Not once. So what I feared was going to be a normal slushy thing with Clikits,
I now believe is unique to this set.
Unfortunately, I cannot find that I made a record of the distribution I got the
first time. But when another 7518 is opened, I believe the inventory should
be changed to reflect exactly what is in that set rather than alternates.

I think it stands for Match ID. The number and color correspond to different
but similar parts found in a set (that is, parts that are slightly different,
but function in the same way, like the tap with and without a hole - parts 4599a
and 4599b, respectively). If a set inventory shows these colored squares, scroll
down to the bottom of the inventory there will be an 'alternate items'
section that shows possible variants of those parts that might have been used
to make the set.
Hope this helps,
Steve

It probably got deleted. Sometimes one gets added to the catalog with an error

HI - sorry to tell you but you have been tricked. The set never came with DBG
4589b or LBG 63965.
This set is actually the reason why these 2 parts are so expensive (together
with a few other parts).

|
The issue here is that because you acquired the set used, there really is no
way to verify that those parts actually came with that set when
it was new, regardless of what was said about the set. So unless those parts
can be verified with an unopened set I don't think they should be
added to the inventory.

| Thank you for the help.
So far this is what I have and is in line what you are saying:
- This container should contain 165 pieces (Pretty close to what is in it)
- Mostly if not all CA plastic (correct!)
- Puzzling the inventory together based on "what can be made with this set" info.
I believe I will get to the 165 pieces.... I will upload the inventory as soon
as completed.
PS: This is a picture of the canister.

Short of someone finding one that is still sealed, we may never know.
Basic Samsonite sets of this era usually included a generic instruction book
that had "ideas" but no part list or indication of the parts included. This set
would just have had mostly red and white bricks (1x2, 2x2 and 2x4), possibly
some trans-clear bricks, and some red windows and doors. It was introduced in
1962, when the bricks and windows would have been made out of cellulose acetate
plastic, but beginning in 1963 they may have been mixed with ABS parts. It would
not have had any wheels or wheel holders, as these were sold in a separate set.
This particular set was sold only through department store catalogs (like Sears).

This is my first comment on Bricklink, so whether this is the right forum

there should be a light gray 6 x 12 plate in set no 148. That plate should rather
be a 6 x 14.
If I am right, then someone may perhaps see that the inventory is corrected!

If you're new to this, then I would not suggest parting out sets like that.
I did that when I first started, and it was a bad mistake because there were
so many variations I didn't know even existed. Such as the brackets and panels
with and without rounded corners. Or the three kinds of jumper plates. Or antennas
with rounded or flat tops. If you part out sets using the "part out" function
on bricklink, I would still take a very close look at what you're listing.
Just a friendly suggestion so you don't make the same mistake I did.

Tha Catalog should be used as guide.

Don't say "all versions". There are a lot of versions and some of them came

in the one from 2007. The one that you have came with old grays, but likely
came with new grays too if it was a 2004 set.

That's too bad. The catalog Add or Change pages are very specific out of
necessity. If you are trying to reserve an item, you are already to the inventory
section. All you need to do to add a new minifig is go to the Catalog Add or
Change tab and then click Add Item: -Minifig. Then, it gets much more complicated!
People here will answer questions so don't struggle with any one step too
