I notice that there are now a number of things like this in the catalogue under
GEAR:

[g=ST1]

[g=superman]

What are these meant to be?

Looking at Castle Byers, some people are usnig the listing to sell the set, some
the stickers, some sets with custom stickers, another the set with custom prints,
etc. No-one is actually selling just the instructions!

Is the intention that these should really just be the instructions given that
they come under a category called "Building Event Instructions"?

If so, why are they not listed like normal instructions? Is it because BL does
not recognise these as sets, and properly listed instructions must have sets
to go in?

I remember trying to add the Superman set long ago, and it was denied. But now
it seems the instructions do exist in BL's view, but the sets do not exist.

The strange thing is, when I got my Superman, they were using laser copy / printed
instruction sheets and you could get the PDF if you wanted it, but they did not
have "genuine" instruction sheets.

Lego recently make more and more sets packed in blister packs.
There are even sets packed in two types of packing and being exactly
the same set.

 
Set No: 111901  Name: Garmadon blister pack
* 
111901-1 (Inv) Garmadon blister pack
4 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: Rise of the Snakes
 
Set No: 111901  Name: Garmadon foil pack
* 
111901-2 (Inv) Garmadon foil pack
4 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: Rise of the Snakes
 
Set No: 111902  Name: Wu blister pack
* 
111902-1 (Inv) Wu blister pack
1 Part, 1 Minifigure, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: The Golden Weapons
 
Set No: 111902  Name: Wu foil pack #2
* 
111902-2 (Inv) Wu foil pack #2
1 Part, 1 Minifigure, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: The Golden Weapons
 
Set No: 111903  Name: Kai vs. Wyplash blister pack
* 
111903-1 (Inv) Kai vs. Wyplash blister pack
2 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: The Golden Weapons
 
Set No: 111903  Name: Kai vs. Wyplash foil pack
* 
111903-2 (Inv) Kai vs. Wyplash foil pack
2 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: The Golden Weapons

So we have "polybag" added to names to find easly such sets
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?q=polybag
we have "foil pack"
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?q=foil%20pack

So I added to sets packed in blisters "blister pack" similarly to above, now
they will be easier to find
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?q=blister%20pack

If you find any more such sets please submit change request to add "blister
pack" to the names of them. I could missed some.

Hi

There has been 2 countdown calendars as I know it - one is 40222, there was another
one?
I cannot find it can anyone help?

They are meant to be rebuilt every day, not like the city/star wars calendards,
and were not on sale, but as a bonus on purchase

Hi!

I am collecting for a Museum with Pinball Machines and LEGO® Sets in Neulengbach
(near Vienna AUSTRIA) and figured out, that many LEGO® Education Sets are not
listed on BrickLink (eg 9781-1 MINDSTORMS® FIRST® LEGO® League Start Set with
Mindstorms AND Robolab Software) even thogh I have them. How can I add them?

Also a lot Sets (eg 953009-1 Control Lab Teachers Project Guide) are missing
photos and inventory - how can I add them?

thanks for your answer

Stickered skateboards show up as counterparts in inventories, both with and without
wheels.

I'm about to add a stickered skateboard to the catalog, but I only have time
to add one of the variations. Do either of the variations have a higher priority
for being added to the catalog over the other?
For example
 
Part No: 42511pb09  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Skateboard Deck with Red Apple Pattern (Sticker)
* 
42511pb09 Minifigure, Utensil Skateboard Deck with Red Apple Pattern (Sticker)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil, Decorated
Marked for Deletion
and
 
Part No: 42511c01pb09  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Skateboard Deck with Red Apple on Black Background Pattern (Sticker) with Black Wheels (42511pb09 / 2496)
* 
42511c01pb09 Minifigure, Utensil Skateboard Deck with Red Apple on Black Background Pattern (Sticker) with Black Wheels (42511pb09 / 2496)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil, Decorated
Marked for Deletion

I noticed there are two variants of the 40243 spiral step that behave differently.
On the bottom side, there is a support ridge in the round part that may be located
(see picture):

- Facing away from the step
- Facing toward the step

Both parts have the same code, 40243.

When assembled with the 40244 support axle, with the steps fully spread out:

- The variant which has the support facing away from the step, will have
a part of each step overlapping the previous one (see second picture).

- The variant which has the support facing toward the step - as far I
can tell - will have no (or very little) overlap between adjacent steps.

See third picture, but note only the lowest 6 steps are of the second variant,
because I don't currently have a full set of 8 of them.

All of the steps pictured here are of the old light gray color.

So, does anyone happen to know if particular sets come with a particular variant,
or if it's just random?

Hello everyone,

I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed longtime member BricksThatStick
to the Catalog Associate position. Paul served as the site's 4th Inventories
Admin during 2010 to 2011 alongside Emma (SimplyBricks). He effectively replaced
Dan Jezek, the site's founder, who had a special fondness for inventories
work and who of course left very big shoes to fill.

If you take the time to scroll through Paul's 900+ inventories changes:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?chgUserID=44744&v=3

...you will notice a sea of green, followed by a sea of blue, followed by another
sea of green. This means he continued to contribute to the catalog after having
once been an admin, which is (unfortunately) something rather uncommon. But it
demonstrates a great and correct attitude, the kind of attitude we wish to model
for all of our other contributors out there, especially the ones still cutting
their teeth.

Paul has, over the years, been very active as a seller and many of you will know
him also from his activity in the Forum. We look forward to his practical insights
and we are confident he will play a vital role in our growing catalog team.

Please welcome him back!

Russell

Greetings all...

I had a question regarding the following set:

 
Set No: 4486  Name: AT-ST & Snowspeeder - Mini
* 
4486-1 (Inv) AT-ST & Snowspeeder - Mini
76 Parts, 2003
Sets: Star Wars: Mini: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

Can anyone confirm, who has this set, how many bags are included? I have this
set without the box. It contains 2 bags and the instructions. It looks like
everything is there.

Also, what is the difference between the two sets below, other than the box?

 
Set No: 4486  Name: AT-ST & Snowspeeder - Mini
* 
4486-1 (Inv) AT-ST & Snowspeeder - Mini
76 Parts, 2003
Sets: Star Wars: Mini: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6
[s=4486-2]

Thanks in advance!

Brian
