| Going back to discussion on alternate parts and the stupid decision to remove
the 3930c01 hing brick assembly from catalog we have above part, the glass fits
four seperate window frames so does that mean each one of those will have multiple
variants for glass colour.
Needs some consistency, the hinge brick parts are available seperately but are
usually in sets in the same colour, hence the assembly as a standard catalog
item. Glass on window frame is not required and will generate lots of unneeded
extra parts for catalog

| OK … I forgot … is there a BL number to the Malevolence custom model? This model
is an alternative build using parts from sets 7748, 7749, 8016, 8017, 8019, 8036,
8037, 8038 and 8039. I had it built for years … but now broken down. If there
is a BL number … I can double check the inventory. Thanks … LEE

| I have this set of hips from Patrick, without the legs:
But it shows no inventory for that assembly to split up the legs from the hips.
As far as I can see in the catalog, only solid color hips and legs are sold separately.
Am I missing something? Can the decorated hips and legs be sold separately?
Thanks,
Lisa

| Hi, I was wondering why the HP figs from 5005254 have been cataloged under Harry
Potter while the Superheroes (Avengers Infinity War) are under Collectible? The
Jurassic World figs are under Collectible too while Ninjago is simply under Ninjago?
What is the rationale behind these decisions please? Is there something obvious
I'm missing?

| Hi all.
Most of you may not know this but I believe that the mugs selection in the 'Gear'
category doesn't do it justice, as 90% of those images are not quite good
enough to see the whole design of the mugs fully.
I propose that the mugs selection to be allowed to have 3 images maximum, which
will allow the mugs to be displayed fully, and that the whole design can be seen.
I am willing to submit at least 60+ mugs to the catalogue, but it will be difficult
to show the mugs off if I'm limited to 1 picture.
Can this suggestion be implemented?
Cheers,
Paul

| I'm new in this forum, please let me know if I should use a different topic.
I'm not getting through the currently available baseplates. How can I sort
by plate size in the Bricklink catalog? For example, how would I find out if
there is currently a 32x32 baseplate in (Light Bluish) Gray?
I find it hard to see through. E.g., the 48x48 plates are listed as part 4186,
but it says: Years Released: 1980 - 2016. If I'm looking for sets, for example,
the 10701 appears, which has been sold since 2015 and still is according to Lego
online store.
So the listing 4186 is incorrect in saying that there is no current 48x48 baseplate.
When I search baseplate in sets, no sizes are displayed, it can not be sorted
by year.
Thank you

| Hi everybody!
I've had quite an adventure trying to track down a copy of 53588 Dark Bluish
Gray Baseplate, Raised 16 x 16 No Studs with Cross Opening, 4 Holes.
I got an incomplete copy of 7739 in a Craigslist lot and wanted to complete it.
First, I bought 2 copies of 53588 from USA sellers early this year, but when
they arrived they both had the Red and Light Gray marbling described in the entry
for 53588pb01. The marbling is fairly subtle, so I didn't blame the sellers
for missing it, and they both gave me refunds.
Then I tried messaging every single North American seller who had a copy of 53588
listed to see if it was actually solid Dark Bluish Gray with no marbling. Many
never replied, but all took down their listings within a week. I was busy for
a few months, but over the last week I've messaged more sellers. Again, nothing.
Most sellers have taken down their listings, and the 3 that returned my messages
confirmed that there was marbling in their copies that they missed.
Now I'm starting to wonder if a solid-color 53588 with no marbling actually
exists. I've tried Google, Brickset, and other sources to find pictures of
the set, but no pictures show the part in high enough quality to confirm there's
no marbling -- except box and instruction artwork, which doesn't count.
The biggest thing that makes me suspect that a non-marbled piece doesn't
exist is that both of the marbled 53588pb01 copies I have are almost definitely
Dark Bluish Gray, not Dark Gray... but they still have marbling. According to
Bricklink, those pieces shouldn't exist. So perhaps the part was entered
incorrectly, and the old Dark Gray versions of the mold from 4 Bionicle sets
and the Dark Bluish Gray version in 7739 are all marbled?
Can anyone who owns 7739, especially a copy they built new, check to see if their
53588 from that set is marbled? And if any seller out there can confirm that
they have a non-marbled piece for sale, you will immediately get my business.
Thanks everyone!

| Hi everyone!
I've recently sorted my parts by bricklink catalog category instead of colors
and already finished it.
I saw that some categories are new now - seems like at least 4 new categories
have been created from the old "(Other)" category:
* Accessory, Human Tool
* Chain
* Energy Effect
* Ring
Any other new categories than the 4 mentioned?
Instead of checking the list of categories every day (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P&itemBrand=1000),
is there some way to find out which categories are new (chronologically sorted)?
Thanks!

| Author: | StormChaser | | Posted: | Nov 9, 2018 03:28 | | Subject: | Fourth Catalog Project Underway | | Viewed: | 237 times | | Topic: | Catalog | | Status: | Open | |
| The next catalog project consists of replacing all current photos of minifigures
with photos of the same minifigures on sport bikes. You can see this on the
Catalog Roadmap:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2473
Okay, not really. The (Other) project is winding down and next we're looking
at implementing some, if not all, of LordSkylark's suggestions. We need
to decide together how many of these (or maybe all of them?) we want to tackle.
Let's discuss them.
Reorganizing dual-colored molded arms.
My take: I'm good with this and it has been requested before. It will reduce
catalog entries from 23 to 11 entries for straight two-color arms. It will take
some work and I'm not sure about the exact logistics, but it can be done.
Adding individual decorated hips and legs.
My take: This is currently against policy. Policies can be changed, though.
My question would be this: is it necessary? Does anyone feel a burning need
to sell these parts? Have your buyers been requesting them? How many support
this and how strongly?
Adding individual Technic figure parts.
My take: currently against policy, a policy which is not adhered to considering
that at least one of these is already in the catalog. I see little harm in it,
but again: how many want this and how badly?
Changing titles of certain dual-sided heads to reflect this fact and splitting
heads into single-side print and dual-side print categories.
My take: I think these are good ideas, but am always willing to listen to dissenters.
Reorganizing/renumbering certain mini doll legs to reflect a change in production
methods.
My take: I would like to see a detailed explanation of the exact issue to understand
it better. I believe one was posted somewhere, but it would be great if it could
be posted one last time in this thread so that we all have an idea of what this
would entail.
Splitting decorated/non-decorated minifigure legs.
My take: This one was not on the list for the original project, but I'm adding
it. There are over 1,400 items in the Minifig, Legs Assembly category and I
find it exceedingly difficult to find non-decorated legs in all that mess. Does
anyone else besides me feel like this would be a good split?

| I think this is a bad call, that complete assembly is necessary, but just my
2 cents, others may disagree. And absolutely not looking forward to wasting
the time to "undo" and reenter years worth of inventory.
"Hinge Brick 1 x 4 Swivel - Complete Assembly - (MARKED FOR DELETION)
Item No: 3830c01
This item was marked for deletion because it sets a precedent for adding dozens
of unnecessary combinations of hinges as assemblies to the catalog."

it comes in there is an white rubber band which holds the two halves
together. The instructions show the rubber band being used in each case. Should
there be an inventory for the part?

Does this change their itemnumber like

This may mix up our sorting system otherwise.

| Once again I would first like to congratulate [StormChaser] and the community
on the progress made in the ' (Other) ' Category Project.
I would like to raise my points to a few things in clearing out the ' Gear
(Other) ' category:
[1] Accessory, Human Tool - Rip Cords
The ' Accessory, Human Tool ' category has been created and it blurs
the line between a Part and Gear. I guess we should wait until all part categories
have been properly defined, however, the category has already been created and
rip cords have already been added. Therefore I suggest we move these gear ...
[g=ripcordcover1][g=ripcordcover2]
... as parts in the ' Accessory, Human Tool ' category. Also rename
them
" Human Tool, Rip Cord Handle Cover in Flexible Rubber with Lion Head for Chima
Speedorz "
and
" Human Tool, Rip Cord Handle Cover in Flexible Rubber with Crocodile Head for
Chima Speedorz "
, respectively.
This leaves ...
... which under the Human Tool definition should be sets and not gear.
[2] Accessory, Human Tool - Ruler
For the same reason as above, I suggest we merge the ruler set inventory with
the ruler (see also https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1060834). So merge
...
... into ...
[p=bb342]
So in the same manner gear ...
...should become a set.
[3] Speech Bubbles
The speech bubbles gear ...
... should be a set and its inventory (perhaps all but the stensil) should be
parts, since they interact with minifigs and not us humans.
That's all at the moment. I will be interested in your thoughts.

| Good morning
It is now clear from the evidence we have gathered that the catalogue is not
currently correct for these part id's. The part is correct but
should only be used for solid colours, similar to the 3004/3065. Both the 94638
and 353787 are for Transparent colours of the same part - we are in the process
of investigating those two parts to see if there is any difference in them.
So far the 94638 comes in 4 transparent colours Trans-Clear, Trans Bright Green,
Trans-Black and Trans-Light Blue. The part also carries a slightly different
description with Lego - incorporating the Letters PC (PolyCarbonite) at the end.
The 35378 is currently only available in Trans-Clear, Trans Light Blue and Trans-Black.
All 3 parts are available through the Lego Bricks & Pieces site as separate items.
What we suggest in the first instance is to separate 87552 and restrict it to
solid colours only. Hopefully in due course we will have the answer on the other
2.

| I have found a sticker sheet from the Grand Soccer Stadium set with all of its
minifigs.
www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=3569-1#T=I
The problem is that the person who originally had it used the green set of jersey
stickers on the white minifig torsos. The catalog has only the red stickers on
the red torsos and the white stickers on the white torsos. There are actually
2 other choices that could have been made, the green jersey stickers and the
blue jersey stickers. As much as I would to add these to the catalog it is a
bit more of a project than I am willing to get into at the moment.
So, is anyone interested in taking on this project? I am happy to donate the
stickers and minifigs that I have to someone if they are willing to spend the
time to photograph and upload the minifigs to the catalog.

I saw this on Amazon Prime, and I was instantly curious as to what the name really
means
Why is this packaged as a McDonalds set, and it has nothing to do with Quattro?
Maybe this is an item that needs to be 'sorted out'?

So, should the parts I have bundled together be listed as a combined part?

| Sorry if my questions seems dumb, but I wonder:
Stormchaser, who is a Catalogue Administrator, is posting to the catalogue requests
topic. But who is in charge of approving/denying those requests? To me it seems
that he is posting to himself?
Same for inventories requests (Hygrotus).
Can someone please explain:
- what is the purpose of these requests?
- when you are an administrator, like Hygrotus or Stormchaser, who is the person
that approves/denies? As far as I know there's not a Super Inventories /
Catalogue Administrator paid by BrickLink who has the last word.
Who's the boss?
