| There seems to be an increasing trend of identifying patterned parts by simply
calling them Pattern 1 and Pattern 2. Here are three random examples of recent
parts, but I could go on for a while.
I would caution against this practice of non-descriptively titling items. In
fact, I was hoping the site would move away from things like this, not more toward.
Although I suppose we could greatly simplify all titles by simply going the Mini
Upper Part "No. 1470" route that TLG uses.

| Inconsistency is a pet peeve of my, so you know it's my last nerve on this
issue.
I haven't parted out much lately, but I got an opportunity to part out 3
of the 2019 Star Wars Advent Calendars
For the last 9 years TLC has included a Winter-ized SW figure in the 24th position
on the calendar. I saw that this last year was a Porg Santa. I didn't look
at the BL inventory to see how the subsets were being handled before I started.
I wanted to preserve the Porg Santa as a complete fig and part out all the other
"parts only" droids.
After finishing the sorting, I went to upload the part-out to BL. And that's
when I found it....Porg Santa was a part out...grrr. But the Gonk and Mouse
droids were left to sell whole...grrrr.
Who decides this stuff? How hard is it to be more consistent? I know there
is a lot of discussion about "What SW Droids are figures" and what are not.
But geesse, SMH.
Just my two cents.
Thanks for reading, no changes are expected.

| Hi All,
Ive been looking for through the catalogue for various parts and have found that
some lots are coming up as zero available but still showing up for sale.
I was looking at 3700 technic 1x2 brick in dark green last week and the stores
showed up with zero in stock in the catalogue. I checked again today and all
resolved.
I then looked at orange part 6005 and same thing.
Whats going on ??
Seems off to me or is it related to these rarer parts ?
Help please
Yogi

| I am new to Bricklink. I recently decided to get out my lego to rebuild some
of my old Lego Star Wars sets. There were 2 sets I wanted to build but noticed
I was missing some pieces. I ordered two pieces last night (awaiting arrival)
for the first time, but then realised I needed more pieces for the other set.But
it says that 2 stores need my attention, why is that?
Thanks

the size of the Box itself (!)
How were these dimensions populated and what can I do to remove them altogether
(not just one by one)?
(Or better yet to mass-set the dimensions correctly.)
Thanhk you again.

| For quite some time now there have been discussions on the forum about catalogue
changes as well as other areas of improvement to the site (Performance etc.).
There have been lots of different people involved and Russell has commented on
a couple of occasions but of course nothing is out in the open for plans at present
whilst the Lego takeover completes.
One thing I find strange and that is with all the talent (Programming wise) that
exists on the site, coupled with the technical Lego knowledge that also exists,
no one other than a couple of people have chimed in about getting some senior
analysts involved with a plan to redevelop. This is a very complex site but it
can be broken into segments |(elements) many of which can be handled by existing
software. For example the core processing behind the site is an order processing
system. We are aware of at least two products which could deal with that side
of it easily and have been built with 'linking in' other elements in
mind.
Inventory control, which in our opinion, is an essential element which has been
needed for some time is also out there and fits nicely into either of the two
above products. Again this needs an analyst to look at it and report to the decision
makers what needs to be done. It doesn't, with all due respect, require a
programmer to sit down and write the code first.
The catalogue is a different animal and needs a huge amount of thought. The data
currently held is priceless - not sure even Lego have it all, so that needs some
TLC and a significant amount of time spent to come up with the best way forward.
But, and it is a little word with a great big meaning here, the costs of doing
this are nowhere near outrageous and if libraries of code can be used e,g, order
processing, inventory control etc, then huge amounts of money and time can be
saved in achieving what is required.
The redevelopment of this site will not cost a fortune and it was well within
the means of the former owners to accomplish. They chose, for whatever reason,
not to do that - Lets hope that Lego will look at it differently.
Lets get behind hiring some senior analysts and get the project off the ground.
There was never a better time to start than now. With the strength of Lego and
its marketing machine behind the site who knows where we can go.

| Doing some shopping and browsing and I have come across a few items that say
they are scheduled to be deleted from catalog. I’m curious if that mean removed
so I can no longer find/buy that piece and if that’s true then how would you
go about obtaining it? Also why would any piece be removed from the catalog?
Perhaps I’m not understanding the why behind it. Can someone explain to me please

| I think the "and Medium Blue Base" should be dropped from the description.
What do you all think?
I honestly missed this when parting out and just sold a black one, which is completely
black as is the one in the picture, don't think one was ever made with a
different color base than the cannon.
Should I post this somewhere else to request this?

| Now that Lego has acquired Bricklink do you think the official Lego part numbers
will be more widely used/accepted on BL or will Lego in fact actively want to
encourage the use of their codes on the site as a primary means of identifying
parts in the BL catalog?
Either way when you search for an official Lego part number BL already recognises
it so is there any reason the official Lego part code is not displayed alongside
the part in question? Perhaps there’s already an option in the settings to display
them that I don’t know about?
Also is there any reason BL have continued using their own reference codes instead
of switching to Legos? If it’s just a case of not wanting to upset members that
have inventoried their physical stock and become accustomed to these BL codes
wouldn’t it be better to have both codes to hand so that buyers and sellers alike
have the option of choosing whichever codes they prefer to work with?

| Why does BrickLink show me a picture of a white 48 x 48 baseplate when I click
on the catalog entry for set 11010?
Ok, maybe the picture is there because it is an official product image from TLG.
So they are also using the wrong image in their own online shop.
According to TLG's description of the set, it contains only a 32 x 32 baseplate...
