Currently parting out a copy of 7047-1. In it I found a little cardboard box
which is the same as pictured on 46931. That page has a note about which sets
it is contained in, but there is no relationship between that and the actual
string entry (x77ac50, which appears in the set inventory). Should there be a
relationship ?

At first I was expecting to see an alternate part number on x77ac50, but then
I discovered the sleeve entry.

TIA, Nita Rae

The inventory of 46931 is a relationship of sorts.

Ahh. Ok, that makes sense. I’m still trying to decide: should the box entry be
a counterpart, because anyone with a new set will see the box, while a used set
should have the string.

Admin don't believe any of the options in the current system are right.

Well that helps, it really does. The issue here (I think) goes back to the same/similar
one that I posted a few days back about the extra part without the matching base
part (because it was tucked inside the minifig).

I think we wind up with what randyf alluded to about the sun going supernova,
that is it’s probably never going to happen. The inventory of a set should be
flat, with no regard to associations, assemblies, minifigs, etc. Once a full
and complete flat inventory exists, then views and associations (i.e. a hierarchical
rendering) can be applied to it.

In the case of this box/string, the string is actually in the inventory, but
the box is what I encountered when parting out. There is actually one person
with a wanted active against the box-sleeve. So I have to make a choice where
to list it, because the string is (more or less) a consumable, and those seem
to be quite popular.

The intention is just that someone who finds the box will be able to see what
is in it without opening it.

It needs to be separate.

I have a part that is not catalogued, a stickered item from set 8071. See attached
picture.
The part is similar to 40490pb030, exactly the same pattern. However, the size
of the sticker is not the same. The black part seems shorter.
Can I see this as the same part or does it need to be catalogued separately?

Two versions of the sticker for set 10269-1 exist. The difference is in sticker
number 2. The first version (58480/6270452) had a "MILWAUKE" spelling
error, the second version (69195/6312751) corrected this to "MILWAUKEE".

Hello,
Set 76174 Spiderman's Monster Truck
Would it be possible to add part 52031 Wedge 4 x 6 x 2/3 Triple Curved with the
appropriate sticker to the Counter parts section?
Also the 3069b ( 1 x 2 white tile) with the sticker for the licence plate.
I would like to add these to my wanted list so I will remember to buy them in
the future.
Thanks,
Mark

Someone who has the stickered parts will need to submit them to the BrickLink
catalog for approval, since all stickered parts are added by community volunteers.
Until that happens, there is nothing we can do.

Cheers,
Randy

Great Thank you. I will put pictures of the other stickered parts(need some
time, my camera is in for repair). Is it worth while to put pictures of parts
where the stickers have been placed upside down?

Mark

Only parts where the sticker has (or stickers have) been applied correctly according
to the instructions are accepted into the catalog.

Cheers,
Randy

Unfortunately,
the BrickLink system treats the minifigure assemblies as special items and all
of that needs to be changed. But the Sun may have gone supernova before that
ever happens.

Yep, I agree. If anything, a set inventory should be totally flat, with various
combinations of parts (done for various reasons) implemented as a view
upon the flat file.

In the meantime, I will be stocking up on dark shades to avoid the glare of the
supernova when the day arrives.

Welcome Jonas

In Catalog, Admin_Russell writes:

Hello everyone,

As of today, we have promoted BrickLink member Turez (Jonas) from Catalog Associate
to Catalog Administrator. In practical terms, this means he will now have full
privileges on both sides of the catalog, governing both the entries themselves
and the inventory system which connects them:

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/member/community_experts.page

Jonas has done excellent work during this past year in his catalog-side-only
position, quickly masterning all the various functions in what has often been
called a "minefield" environment.

Of particular interest to him is the process of getting all the set entries added
to the database at the correct time (and with the correct details of course),
which involves staging them as pending items and doing research as to when each
set will be released:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?itemPend=Y&catType=S

The scheduled release date is usually added to the item name on a pending entry.
As you can see, we are on the verge of a huge upload of new sets. June 1 is typcially
the single busiest release date besides January 1.

We are very pleased to have such great talent on our team. So join me in welcoming
Jonas to this new position!
