Since
is an arch, 49699 should perhaps just be a slope
At least it has something in common with

My first thought is technic or window frame
|
Well:
1. Window (or door) frame implies you could put a glass or panel (or door)
inside. That seems very unlikely with the technic holes in the way.
2. It’s been used in System (City) sets for now BUT it sure looks like a Technic
Brick, yet not really.
So Technic could do but not really “Technic Brick” and there are no similar parts
(that I know of) in the other Technic categories, that would mean it should fall
in the general “Technic” category, which is already overpopulated.
I’m not envying the catmins

Yep certainly a tough one. It's very clear what it is: A hatch. But how to
catalog it in the existing categories?
I'm voting Door Frame. Alternatively, Vehicle. It may be used in space bases,
but the whole point of hatches is that things are built up from compartments
that have been vehicles at some point.
Hmm, anyone remember the days when we had a "Space" category?

Funny this one - Lego put it into their Bricks, Special category where most of
the modified bricks go. It does look a bit technic Panel, though.
|
Really do wish we could edit messages. Forgot to say technic bricks are also
in the Bricks, special Lego category - so technic panel could be the right answer????

Also, it doesn't make much sense to call this part a cylinder:
When its own counterpart that fits into it is a Slope:
How about putting them both in Vehicle, Cylinder, or Aircraft?

Red one is for sure prototype/test color

Wonder if it's related to the BrickArms color rebellion?

Is there any point in the abbreviation PDG? I just checked, only three parts
use that, so as a search term isn't it useless? And if people need to know
what the assembly includes, the "item consists of" tells them that.

are affected.

In the absence of a proper tag-system, I wanted to include searchable keywords
and use descriptive names, such that these pieces are easier to find/identify.
The existing names are fine if you are already familiar with the part/theme
in question - Part (973pb0619c01), for example, provides no searchable
material beyond names that are likely increasingly-unknown to AFOLs (since Blacktron
is roughly 30 years old!).

| I have been working on a way to do this. There are a few ways to go, one with
macros, another with web scrapers, having an API with the data would be helpful.
The main issue I come against is the server draw. I am pretty convinced this
is one of the reasons we get so many 500 errors. There are those out there pulling
pricing for hundreds or thousands of parts every day. This draws the BL server
down. I read somewhere that bots and spiders are not permitted. Therefore if
found out you could be banned. Currently, I have only scrapers pulling pricing
from retail locations, then I manually go in and pull pricing from BL on items
I feel may be profitable.
It would be nice if BL would simply publish a daily csv file that included all
the pricing of each piece. Then we could just plug that into a spreadsheet or
google doc with vlookup and have a really good simple pricing tool.
Not to get too many people riled up, but I am hopeful that XP will have some
updates that will help us in this regard.

I once made something similar to what you're asking at my old job using macros
and web queries in excel. The macro would loop through each line on excel and
use the itemID to spit out the pricelist sales history on New and Used.
I would use it to find the most valuable versions of figures (example, most valuable
battle droids in picture.
Sadly, I lost this spreadsheet when I left that job.

| There are a couple of ways going about this.
1. With a magnifying glass, you can read the part number. Enter it into the search
function to see what it is.
2. Become familiar with the categories of parts. Plates. tile modified, wedges
etc. Then look around.
Some parts just might be Lego.
