In Tiny Turbo set number 8159 there is a part that is not listed in the counter
parts that has two of part number 61678 together with a black sticker with the
circled number 6 on it. How do I add this to this set so I can add it to my
inventory? Thanks for any help.

Ok I found the "sticker over assembly" group but my question is what is the process
to submit it, when I go to add or change then it asks for the part number and
it doesn't have one because its two parts together with a sticker so how
do I submit it for an add to the set?

First hear

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=stickered+over+assembly&catLike=W&sortBy=D&sortAsc=D&itemBrand=1000&v=1

It was a problem only when parts assembly was hold only by sticker, then they
weren't accepted now they are.

1X1X3 brick & door compatibility question

I thought that this door

64390 Door 1 x 4 x 6 Round Top with Window and Keyhole, Reinforced Edge
Parts: Door

fit onto this modified brick

60583b Brick, Modified 1 x 1 x 3 with 2 Clips (Vertical Grip) - Hollow Stud
Parts: Brick, Modified

(either version of the 1X1X3 brick.)

The catalog pages for both the brick and the door list other parts that they
are compatible with. I thought that these 2 parts worked together, but from
what I see here, they do not. Perhaps the relationship just hasn't been
added yet? Can anyone tell me for sure if that door will fit into the clips
of that brick?

Thanks,
David

3183 Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with Tow Ball Socket (Undetermined Type)

I have this in a set and I want to determine it, but I'm a little lost.
It has the 4 slots, but I can't tell from the limited pics the long and short
socket. Can someone help?

The four I have are the same length but as one has two slots and the others 4,
I guess they are all “long.”
The length is a bit more than a stud: you can’t put a brick in front of the socket
and aligned on studs. (You can put a plate because the slots are high enough
for the tiny “bit more.”)

Oh, if you have

3730 Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Tow Ball Socket, Short, 4 Slots

those are shorter, by around 1mm.

Sorry for the late response, Mark.

I do truly enjoy your comic creations, they're superb satire. You sir, have
a gift, no doubt!

For the life of me, though, I don't understand this comic strip?

I see clearly Russell with his hair-on-fire, but don't get the storyline

Ok, yes, I can see why those should stick together.

Random idea: Changing Vehicle Base into Vehicle Base & Roof. Move all these parts
there, together with those car roofs that are currently in wedge but aren't

Since

Half an arch might be a slope but, surely, an arch + an inverted arch is not

At least it has something in common with

Okay but then it should be a Slope AND a Slope Inverted. And both Double. So
does that make it Quadruple or Double-Double?

We really need a catmin who is used to deep and rigorous classifications.
I don’t know, maybe an entomologist or something like that?

So it's a door/window/panel/technic/vehicle/slope/arch/brick modified/cylinder..

Brickowl has it as: Parts/Uncategorized

49699 Panel 1 x 6 x 4 1/3 with Window and 4 Pin Holes
Parts: Panel

I can't discover anything panel-ish about this part. I'd say it's
window, door, technic, other, vehicle, or pretty much anything except a panel...

What do you think it should be?

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:

45411 Slope, Curved 6 x 8 x 2 Double

How about putting them both in Vehicle, Cylinder, or Aircraft?

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.

If they are too long for the submission form, that's an indication that they are simply too long.

These names are over the limit by only a few characters, and just the Torso Assemblies
are affected.

What are you trying to accomplish by describing every detail?

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 bought a huge bin (approx. 40 lbs. for $40!) of LEGO and am in the process
of sorting the minfigs. So far I am at about 125 that I have positively identified
here in the catalog. I have about 75 more heads and a similar number of bodies
and legs.

Is there a way to say make an Excel spreadsheet that will automatically pull
data from the catalog so I can sort which ones are of value and which ones are
relatively common.

I started a spreadsheet and added a link to each figures page in the database,
but that doesn't help me sort them by value.

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.

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.

‘What a mistaka to maka’ if you know the classics.
The colors are quite different, the arm looks in a different angle and is left

That means you have to look back to the orders you made in the past.

I'm noy sure if I understand you correctly, but Axle 4 is 4 studs long so

On the sticker sheet there are 5 small 'MD' stickers: One (with additional

(part 3010pb132). So there is only one small plain 'MD' sticker left
for the minifig which can be either placed on the front or back of the torso.
Instructions show both variants - on the front page respectively in picture (13).
The catalog lists:
minifig mdf001 as 'MD Foods - White Torso (Sticker on both sides), Green
Legs, White Cap'
torso assembly 973pb0496c01 as 'White Torso MD Foods Logo Pattern on Both
Sides (Sticker) / White Arms / Yellow Hands'
torso 973pb0496 as 'Torso MD Foods Logo Pattern on Both Sides (Sticker)
/ White Arms / Yellow Hands'
So as there are not enough stickers for both sides and it is not obvious from
the instructions which is the correct placement – front or back of torso? - I
would suggest to just remove the term 'on both sides' in the title of
these inventory parts.

There is a sticker missing from the sticker sheet.

If you look at the attached picture you can see a feint outline where the sticker
has been removed (circled)

Gear instructions

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.

Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: Rise of the Snakes

111901-2 (Inv) Garmadon foil pack

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?

stickered skateboard with or without wheels

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

42511pb09 Minifigure, Utensil Skateboard Deck with Red Apple Pattern (Sticker)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil, Decorated
Marked for Deletion

and

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

Great catch!

I have a lot of these pieces, over 100, most in Light Gray from old Harry Potter
sets but also some newer ones in Dark Bluish Gray and Dark Tan. Not a single
one has the variant with the support facing toward the step. I'd assume that
one is rarer, but I'd love to see what others have to say.

Maybe it's worth millions D:

40243 Stairs Spiral Step variants

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

I know I am pretty new here, and I don't know a lot of the stories of the

Sorry, but I must say that I take offense at this statement. You are passing
judgement on the previous admins and their reasons for leaving the site. You
are implying that the 'correct' attitude would be to maintain one's
dedication to a site even after you may have had a bad experience.
You don't know how they were treated by the management and members of this
site.

Jen

This thread was supposed to be a joyful welcome for a new team member. I'm
sorry if it was offensive to anyone and I don't want to argue a point.

I will leave this thread as it is for now. But if people keep commenting on this
issue, I will be forced to lock it.
