I have just wondering if anyone knew when Lego started putting the part number

but has no part number. It just has the numbers 5 and 04 on the underside.
What do these numbers refer to?
Apologies if this has been asked before - I cannot find a thread.
Thanking you all

The one or two digit numbers indicate molds and mold cavities in the actual machine
that creates the parts from liquid plastic injection. As far as what year TLC
started putting part numbers on the parts themselves, I'm afraid I do not
know.

Part number such as 3001 for a 2x4 brick ? Certainly the older CA parts had that,
so it must have been in the earliest days.

The CA parts did have mold numbers (5 04) but not the part number (3176)

Re: Elements Exclusive to BaM

Just to add to the never-ending "identify this part" questions, it's now
been semi-officially confirmed that LEGO has created exclusive elements for the
BaM (Build a Minifgure) bins in LBR stores. I'm sure this will give more
people headaches for authenticating parts, since they will not appear in any
inventories. Looks interesting though, and I hope they keep introducing new
elements.

It looks like there are other exclsuive parts that are going to cause some confusion.
These pics are on eurobricks. Look at the vampire torso, very similar to Lord
Vampyre's but a different colour waistcoat and tie. So a BAM exclusive that
will probably be confused with an existing one.

The spiderwoman - look at the large spider print, it used to be located lower
and was printed across the torso and dress. So that's another two parts very
similar to existing ones from sets but exclusive to BAM.

I'm not super technical and as a kid I was terrible at making anything out
of Technic Lego so in spite of my dad's efforts I quickly abandoned it and
never picked it up again. But I'm seriously wondering if the Technic categories
make any sense at all. I'm not good at the jargon and especially not in English,
but here's my observation:

- There's a category called "Link", which includes belt/chain items as well
as suspension parts. Is that just a random semantic, well, "link" between these
parts?
- It seems like there's a whole family of parts that have to do with driving/gears
- clutches, gearboxes, driving rings, changeover catch.. all of these parts are
scattered across categories but I think they are supposed to work together.
- There's a category called steering but it seems to be about wheel suspension
as well as, well, steers. And then there are suspension arms in both "Link" and
in the generic "Technic" category that I think are equally involved in this stuff.
- There's a generic "Technic" category which includes very random items.
While there was a fanatic impulse of emptying out the "(other)" category, apparently
the "Technic" category is still full of randomness. And it's now the biggest
Technic category (if you don't count decorations). That isn't very helpful
is it?

So... I never used this stuff, but a question to the Technic pros: Do you find
that the Technic categories make sense to you, or is it just a fairly random
division that you just memorised the way it is? Should it be improved?

I sometimes have trouble guessing where something is, but the categories aren't
too long and I have memorized some things that were hard before.

It could definitely be improved.

Just call it all technic.

I have added the contents of 49595, a-g, for catalog submission but do not have
images since BL requires minimum sizes and I only have smaller images which I
could not upload.

I am asking that the items be allowed to be added without the photo or allow
the smaller image as having a photo does not seem to be a prerequisite considering
the vast number of empty cape boxes that are being added without photos.

(I'm not questioning why empty cape boxes are trending in the new items added
category, everyone has a thing)

Thank you for your consideration in adding without photo or feel free to add
the photo without me

- Big B

Sorry but they won't be approved without images. General rule is that almost
(because there are some exeptions of course) every item to be approved need to
have image.
Exeptions are:
1) torso for torso assembly - because when you have torso assembly submitted
with image you know how the torso without arms and hands looks like as the print
is the same as in the main torso assembly entry,
2) stickers sheet but only when correct information is submitted in description
so it have to be design id number printed on stickers sheet entered to describtion
by submitter (without it and without image stickers sheets won't be approved),
3) carboard sleevs as they looks the same they just differ by number printed
on it and this number is in description and part number.

From help page (Adding images https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=87):
"Item and image submissions are accomplished separately on different pages. You
do not need to wait for a submitted item to be approved and in the catalog before
you submit images for it. You do not need to be the item's submitter.
The item must simply have been submitted before any image upload is possible.
We encourage image submission to follow as soon as possible after item submission
because an image can help catalog administrators evaluate the item submission.
For more information on item submission, see Adding Items."

So always can sombody elese add images to pending items which are without it.
We wait a month after that period items without images are deleted from pending.

Although I’m usually clueless to the subtleties here in the forum, I don’t get
the “Inviting trouble” title. I can’t see how. I assume it’s referencing your
second comment of not having an issue if someone “takes the initiative”, as in
inviting competition for you and goatleg.com?

Regardless, it’s good to hear from you again, Mark.

I'm working on my own webshop and want it to synchronise well with my Bricklink
store. My software seems to work pretty well, but now I'm wondering, does
it happen that names/numbers of parts change on Bricklink, and if so, how often
does that occur? I want to gauge how necessary it is to do some extra coding
to accommodate for this.

Possibly you should be made aware that Bricklink considers its part names and
numbers to be its own proprietary information, and that using them on your own
commerce site might draw unneeded problems. They have taken action at least once
in the past to require another site to stop using the Bricklink part numbers.

As a result, other sites choose to come up with their own part numbering system,
or they use the LDraw names and numbers, which can be used freely with the proper
attribution.

Of course many BL numbers are the numbers actually molded on the parts by LEGO,
and these are probably safe to use. Also, many BL part names and numbers are
from LDraw. These should also be safe to use.

Thanks for the advice. Actually I'm not "using" Bricklink part numbers -
my sync system just needs to know what is what, so for that part, it's essential
that my software is able to "speak Bricklinkish" - I imagine that's the same
for BrickOwl and for Brickstock. I don't use it in the shop itself for the
customers. Names/descriptions I'm not using at all, I've described them
in Dutch (which was the most exhausting part of the job

)

I'm eager to hear more about your webshop. As far as I've understood
you've been dreaming about it for quite some time now, and finally your on
the way. Do you have something to show? Screenshot? Do you have a markedplan?
How do you decide which features to add? How big development team have you managed
to put together?

Good luck

Thanks! You're right! Someone I know put me on the right track with a content
management system that's featured in my hosting package. I'm essentially
able to do it all by myself, thanks to the versatile system, a bit of programming
skills I do have, and €20 I spent on a programmer to tweak some things

It
has been a huge amount of work so far, 1. tweaking the store, 2. writing software
that turns inventory files that I download from Bricklink into the format I need,
3. writing an entire database of all parts and 4. finding rights free pictures
of everything. I really don't want to take anything from Bricklink that was
given by contributers and isn't mine, so I'm really working like crazy
these weeks

I won't go sharing much of it, as I don't want to border on inviting
to buy outside of Bricklink. But anyway my main idea is to make a very white,
minimal site with good overview, and make it all Dutch. I'm going to try
to focus on the Dutch market, since I believe there's an untapped market
there for people who aren't insiders but would buy from a friendly accessable
webstore they can understand easily, and use the payment method they're comfortable
with that isn't featured on Bricklink. Also, having my own store means I
can go and advertise it everywhere. That's alot better than constantly having
to tell people that my store is on some platform called Bricklink.

I don't know if I'm right. I could be wrong, but if so, it'll just
mean one wasted summer

If I am right, I could be having some great business
and stability for many years to come. But probably I will be having to boost
my inventory alot more in order for my store to be significant enough by itself.
I hope hierachical category system and independent filters for many part properties
are going to be selling points.

I was willing to gamble some €2000 on having someone build me a store, so if
everything fails, I'm fine with just having wasted a lot of time and still
have all my money - except from the €20

Thanks Marek, that's useful! Looks quite intimidating anyway, all those changes.
I've now put a module into place that recognises "new" parts that have new
part numbers but are linked to previously existing LotIDs in my inventory. It
then adds the new part and updates the lot with the old part number to zero quantity.
I think that should do the trick

Yes, I noticed some added 0's in the pattern numbers of some parts, because
the Bricklink number did not match with what Rebrickable thought was the Bricklink
number. I wonder how regularly such things happen. If it's a rare thing then
I should be fine just whiping and reuploading my entire webshop once in a while,
but if it's regular I should think of some way to update these items specifically.

Hi everyone,

I found a torso with a Lego logo print on it's back - it's not on bricklink.
How should I add this torso? Is it an alternate? Or is it already in the catalog

It's this one (with Lego logo on the back):

973p63c01 (Inv) Torso Space Robot Pattern (Spyrius) / Black Arms / Red Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

Indeed, it seems to be a keychain figure, thanks both of you!

I was able to remove the head, so I didn't check further, but the legs are
stuck to the torso and if you look "closely" you can see a hole at the top of
the head and also at the top of the torso's neck (where the keychain was).

for a couple of months and then two people noticed a couple hours apart.

Hehe

I was looking for the torso with goatleg, found the one from cty1022, then I
looked further for some legs (970c00pb0718) and noticed that the minifigure (njo355)
with those legs has the same torso, although BL says that the previous one only
appears for one minifigure (cty1022).

But at least they are both priced nearly the same, so merging them shouldn't

Unfortunately, it was too long ago for me to remember.

Yes please do so.

I am not quite sure if the submissions I made the other day were done correctly
or not, especially when it comes to what number I should assign to the part.

[p=87079pb619]
[p=87079pb620]
There was needed only small corrections in names as I remember

Here is another one, but I haven’t submitted it yet. For set 60173 :

4515pb057 ???? ( the highest number I see anywhere is 4515pb056)
Slope 10 6 x 8 with rusting sheet metal roof 48 sections pattern (Sticker) -
Set 60173

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=4515%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
exactly, first free number is 4515pb057
Please remember also about correct category, just look where other parts of this
type are
And one more advice, in describtion almost all words should beggin from capital
letter beside 'and', 'or', 'with' and other conjunction
those should have small all letters. So your description should look like this
"Slope 10 6 x 8 with Rusting Sheet Metal Roof 48 Sections Pattern (Sticker) -
Set 60173"

I want to get this part listed. Unfortunately I don’t have the stickered parts
for the helicopter from this set to add them also.

You could also check this message where I tried to explain addition process of
stickered counterparts

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1085264

No many users add stickered parts so many are missing in inventory.

Because it's not white. It's more like Very Light Bluish Gray. Please
see attached picture of part with white, VLBG (shield), LBG and LG.

It is white printed on dark plastic, so some of the plastic color is transmitted
through the paint, making it look less than white. However, the paint is definitely
white.

Questions for Nordic version of G31314

I'm about to create the Danish/Norwegian version of [G=G31314] in the BL
catalogue.

But I have one question: In G31314, the 14 curved and 6 straight road sections
are claimed to be identical, but the Nordic versions look different. They contain
studs on the road, and all road sections have subtle differences (see example
of two curved sections in attached image). They may be hard to differentiate
by users, so should I just create one part and maybe have a note on it that inform
of the differences, or should every different part be created?

it lands on the following URL:

Now manually change the URL to read as follows (add "Old" in there):

Hi,

Looks like this parts:

4460a Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
Parts: Slope

4460b Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
Parts: Slope

is taller than described as it is 4 studs high instead of 3 unless there is a
way to measure height I don't know.

Fortunately, there is no 3 studs high slope and I believe any MOCers using the
part just call it by its name and there would be no issue when building.

Strangely, part

3684c Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
Parts: Slope

and all its variants looks like to be also 4 studs
high and not 3 (last pic clearly shows the same aspect ratio as 4460).
By the way 3684 is not marked for deletion yet.

Where was the issue ? "It's not you it's us" or just me ?

Thanks.

I used to think this until I found Tom Alphin's lego ruler and sorting tool:
http://tomalphin.com/2014/02/lego-ruler-and-sorting-tool.html

One stud is 8mm wide but a plate is 3.2mm high, therefore the size of a 1x1 brick
is 8mm x 8mm x 9.8mm. I have Tom's guide printed and laminated and reckon
that it has saved me a load of time while sorting!

Very handy. Thanks for sharing.

Also it would not surprise me if some torsos are sold without glove, and so it
would be good to have the gloveless entry, as otherwise some sellers might have
to sell them as missing a glove when in reality it isn't.

Can we add years to these. Clearly we know what year these appeared first. Also
it would be nice to note somewhere (item description or sub-category) that these
are exclusive to the Build-A-Minifigure (BaM) station in LBR stores. It will
help to have this information in the future, and the years will make it useful
to place these into some chronological context.

Miro

Are we sure that there aren't examples that such item later were used in
normal sets. I do not reckon now such cases when firstly such parts were in BaM
station and later appeared in normal sets but maybe there are such. Then adding
year could be problematic as when parts appear in a set then system add year
automatically and I do not know what bug in the system then occurs

For now we add years for those type parts
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemBrand=1000&itemType=P
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?catType=P&catString=534&itemBrand=1000

The problem is also with normal parts which are in sets but are in colors which
do not appear in sets. Recently were added

12890 Minifigure, Hair Female Long Straight
Parts: Minifigure, Hair

in Orange
and

17346 Minifigure, Hair Female Long Straight with Bangs - Flexible Rubber
Parts: Minifigure, Hair

in Bright Light Yellow

There is no possibility to match that they are from BaM station

But for now I added a note for mentioned torso part you can check if it is OK.

To the OP, the slope 3684 is 3 bricks tall, which is the same as 9 plates tall

A good relation measurement is 2x2 brick width is same as 5 plates height, which
means that a 1x1 brick width is 2.5 plates height, therefore the 3684 slope which
is 3 bricks tall = 9 plates height = 4.8 stud widths (12/2.5=3.6). So as you
can see, it makes no sense in referring to this slope as 3.6 stud heights. It's
very confusing. That being said, having units in the dimensions handy, will prevent
further confusions.

Knowing dimensions is very practical when SNOT building, where the orientation
of bricks is placed sideways and combination of upright and sideway bricks.

Having recently bought the Newbury High School and built it I am surprised to
find the dog Spencer is listed on here as Trans Clear with marbled White, when
the parts list in the inventory clearly places it in White. Should this not
be White with Marbled Trans Clear?

Similarly hs001 has a pending approval inventory in which the submitter is unsure
if the White hoodie with a Red cap should be classified as Red or White. Again
the inventory supplied with the set has this as White.

When compiling inventories should we not give greater weight to the Lego parts
list as to what colour a part is?

And yes the minifigure Jack is identical to the one in 70418-1 J.B's Ghost
Lab - hs001.

Just doubled checked hs001 and Jack has a different head. hs001 has teeth showing,
but the Jack in 70425 has a closed mouth. The other 3 parts are identical.

In our catalog main color is one which is on the part underside

35074pb02 Bird, Friends / Elves, Feet Joined with Magenta Body and Bright Light Orange Eyes Pattern (Pepper)
Parts: Animal, Air

That is why bright light orange not Magenta

42861pb01 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Stormtrooper with Molded Black Forehead, Eyes, Nose, Chin, and Panels on Back and Printed Dark Bluish Gray Marks and Tan Dirt Stains Pattern (Sandtrooper)
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear

that is why black not white

Dog underside is trans clear.

This is our policy.

Thank you both for the heads up.

Still, parts have "Size: 2 x 1 x 3 in studs"

This is the issue, when many units are used, they have to be explicitly written
to avoid such confusion, as history tells us, help page on BL are not enough.

I suggest to add a note on each single page of inventory for parts (done
by front "code" obviously, default design for parts for instance) about the units
used. Kind of studs from width/length, brick height for height.

Or that the size be formatted as “2 x 1 x 3 (studs x studs x bricks)” or, better,
“2 studs x 1 stud x 3 bricks.”

And these suggestions have been made almost every time a remark such as yours
was made but nothing changed

These slopes have the same height as 3 bricks stacked on top of each other.

And that is why exactly many submitters make that mistake when submitting measurements
of part to the catalog.

Hi All,

I'm building a database in MS Access where I want to compare my sets with
a different set to see if I can build the different set with the parts I have.

What I like to know is, is there a downloadable table with related items, so
if I don't have the original inventory item the DB will search the alternative
items to see if there is a match and give me the quantity of the alternate item?

Or is there an other way to relate the alternate item to the original inventory
item?

Thanx

Thanx all for the quick replies.
I found a downloadable table on rebrickable. For me that is the most useful solution
for my problem.

Generally similar parts can be found on

Not easily downloadable, but copy-paste should work.

Then there is:

and similar information can be found through:

If you only want to know about alternates that are registered within a set, you
will have to look at the inventory of that set through:

or download through:
