| I think to settle the issue of whether or not bricklink should merge catalog
entries, the admins should put up a voting page where we have until Feb. 1 to
vote.
All in favour of this idea reply yes/ I
(For those of you think that even if this is success nothing will happen please
keep your thoughts to yourself, reply’s are for public voting)
Others in favour of the merger please, don’t say anything, this is for the people
who are appealing the merge.

Hmm, I’ve two somewhat contradicting answers and can’t choose between them:
1. The WHOLE site is in English!
2. No one speaks English but the Queen. Everyone else speaks a dialect (natives)
or Globish (non-native).

But I agree there should ba a specific Topic "Garbage" (?) for bored people that
Suggest or Reply anything 'just because' - including Mods messages sometimes...
We could add also a special Nubs_Select one: named " "

They did:
The real question is why they retired it.
| | Why is there such a shortage of straight track, at a reasonable price?
|
That raises another good question: Where does LEGO train track come from?
Most LEGO train sets come with a complete circle (16 pieces) of curved track.
Many also come with straight track as well, but usually only 4 or 8 pieces.
So, there may simply be a shortage of straight track compared to curved track,
increasing the price of straight track relative to curved track.
In fact, some train sets even come with no straight track at all, just a circle:
Although the set above does include 16 pieces of flex track, which is equivalent
to 4 pieces of regular track (straight or curved).
However, the LEGO Group does seem to be aware of this gap in supply. The set
above was released in 2010. In 2015, they released
Which includes 12 pieces of straight track. Prior to that release, no set had
ever included more than 8 pieces of straight track. And in 2018, they released
Which includes 16 pieces of straight track and 16 pieces of curved track. Same
with
Which was released in 2022.
So, it appears that the LEGO Group has been including more straight track in
their recent train sets.
The LEGO Group also makes sets that just consist of track, but they typically
include a mixture of different track types:
Train stations and other supplemental sets sometimes include a few pieces of
straight track:
And there is a set that consists of 8 pieces of metal (9V) straight track:
But there are no sets that just consist of plastic (RC/PF) straight track.

| Hi,
I try to optimise the storage of my parts. To do this, I am using the EB-AFIT
Pallet Loading Algorithm. Actually, I determine the dimensions of the parts by
converting the studs. Some Parts have no dimensions in stud but have packing
dimensions, for exemple :
The XML file of my inventory (downloaded from https://www.bricklink.com/invExcel.asp)
contains only the dimensions of the parts are expressed in stud. I've also
checked in the API, the dimensions are also expressed in stud.
It will be great to retrieve packing dimensions through an exportation tool.
Thanks for your reading, regards.
Jérôme

Of course there's always diverting the traffic from BL to Google's YouTube.
But yeah, I get it, easier.
| | think it'll ever be implemented due to the cost & how slow BL is to change things...

I believe the old SOP is morphing, or in the throws of changing and that TLG
is coming into a more full understanding and appreciation of the investment gem
BL actually was for them. Finally seeing the potential, which I don't believe
was the case when they initially acquired it from Kim. Some very capable people
at it's helm today.
Stay bullish on BL's future. Hang tough and invest.
