Hello Bricklinkers,

Some minutes ago, I found out that the "Coral" part (49577) is included in the
Plant Section of Bricklink, which is scientifically wrong. Coral is an Animal!

Please check additional information here:
https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/coral.html


I wrote to customer service of Bricklink explaining this mistake. I hope they
change this part to the Animal Water section!

Best,

Rita

Twn270 had a name change in March from Barista to Barista NO Back Print. Twn270a
is listed as an alternate with back print but the printing on the front of the
torso is different.

The inventory for Twn270 lists 973pb2033c01, which has grey shading at the side
of the apron and Twn270a has 973pb3256c01 which doesn't.

 
Minifig No: twn270  Name: Barista with Gray Shading at Sides
* 
twn270 (Inv) Barista with Gray Shading at Sides
Minifigures: Town
 
Minifig No: twn270a  Name: Barista without Gray Shading at Sides
* 
twn270a (Inv) Barista without Gray Shading at Sides
Minifigures: Town

Is there another version of the Barista torso? All the I have have grey shading
like twn270 but they also have the back print. Some are from sets I parted out
a while ago and I've checked 4 others that I have waiting to do and they're
all the same.

I came across some old Duplo bricks and do see where the catalog entry lists
differences for the variations on the connections underneath. Is there merit
in mentioning the 'Pat Pend' connection as it is drastically different?

Does it classify as '3011old'?

It has status "Item is Pending Approval" since June 2nd.
Is it normal for a set to have this long approval time?:/ It is available as
of now in the LEGO shop in Billund.

From the to-do list:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476

Add Sets Members Want - A project to discuss and possibly add pickable
models, in-store builds, and other similar sets to the catalog...
Project Review: This project traveled directly from under consideration to completed.
There were no existing guidelines discussing these kinds of sets, so no policy
changes were required. Instead, after administrative discussion, the majority
were in agreement to rescind the unwritten rule that prohibited addition of these
sets.
Date first added: December 6th, 2018
Date work began: June 13th, 2020
Goal for completion: July 1st, 2020
Date actually completed: June 17th, 2020
Suggested by: Many members


Maybe this is not so complete as catmins would like to believe it is as it appears
that none of those sets are in the catalogue at this time.
Also:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1204676
seems to be voided now.

So perhaps this project should be set to under consideration again just so the
ball is not dropped and the technical issues, whatever those may be, can be addressed
before the goal date. I would dearly like to believe that BL will eventually
give members what they want.

Hi, searching for part 11113 produces nothing but that seems to be the part number.
Does this need to be added to the catalog? Or am I missing something?

TIA

Can someone help me identify these number bricks, because in de catalog there
are three different entries, I have three different bricks, but they do not look
the same. And they have two different logo on the stud. See attached pictures.
Thanks!

Ok, so this might open a can of worms, but is there a reason why some statuettes
are minifigures and others are minifig, untensil, decorated?? Or is it just
up to whatever the person who adds it feels like doing?

Hello

I got a quote request from a customer saying that the shipping was too high.
When I looked at the order it looks like the below piece is the issue.
I have shipped this part before with no issues as lettermail.
With Canada post anything thicker than 2cm must be sent as parcel which is much
more expensive.
I am trying to understand how bricklink takes the 2x2x2 and translates that to
shipping dimensions in centimetres or inches.
Also can someone help me to understand how this can be 2x2x2 when one side is
longer than it is wide.
Is one of the measurements stacked bricks?

Thanks for any help

Edward

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES TO PARTS 4623 AND 88072

 
Part No: 4623  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Arm Up (Undetermined Type)
* 
4623 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Arm Up (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Plate, Modified
[P=88072]

Members have recently identified two problems with these part variant entries:

1. The additional notes need to be updated.
2. Part 4623 comes in both 5 MM and 6 MM horizontal arm length versions.

A member has submitted a request for us to take action.

What changes will happen?
1. The title of Part 4623 currently in parentheses will be changed to
read "Undetermined Arm Length," but the part will not immediately be marked for
deletion.
2. A new catalog entry will be created with the part number 4623a and
the title "Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Arm Up (Horizontal Arm Length 6mm)."
3. Part 88072 has 4623b as an alternate item number. The primary number
(88072) and alternate item number (4623b) will be switched for this part.
4. The additional notes for all three entries will be updated for brevity
and ease of comprehension.

When will these changes occur?
All four changes are planned to occur between the hours of 8 AM and 4 PM CST
on July 8th, 2020.

Why are these changes necessary?
The changes are necessary because Part 4623 comes in both 5 MM and 6 MM horizontal
arm lengths. The catalog does not currently recognize this fact and some inventories
include incorrect part variants.

How will these changes affect BrickLink members?
Sellers should move their for-sale listings from the undetermined entry to either
4623a or 4623b as soon as reasonably possible after the July 8th changes. Members
who object to one or more changes should immediately provide input with clear
reasons for their objections.

Part No: 30368  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Darth Vader
* 
30368 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Darth Vader
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear

When comparing two Darth Vader figures I had, I discovered a mold variance between
two helmets. The "old" type came likey was made from 1999-2014, while The "new"
type appeared in the 2019 20th Anniversary Clone Scout Walker
 
Set No: 75261  Name: Clone Scout Walker – 20th Anniversary Edition
* 
75261-1 (Inv) Clone Scout Walker – 20th Anniversary Edition
198 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 2019
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 3
I think
this new mold was created because in order to create the anniversary figure lego
wanted to use a 1 piece Vader helmet, as opposed to the 2 piece helmets they
switched to a couple of years ago. This mold variation deserves a note in the
catalog entry for the helmet,, or a variant added to the catalog, but I'm
not sure which. If someone wants to take the appropriate action from here, please
go ahead. See the attached image for the differences between the two.

Hi all.
BACKGROUND: Let my start by saying that unlike my grandchildren, Marcus and
Soren, I am not a "Master Builder". I am a "Master Collector." My brick hobby
is to purchase long forgotten brick collections from parents of teen + former
brick fan that have been collecting dust in the basement or attic for years.
Once in my possession, I discard the fake pieces, wash the real ones then sort
them out looking for the special pieces that will tell me which sets the original
owner possessed.Then I try to re-assemble those sets.
PROBLEM: Currently, I have about 330 sets that I have identified as previously
owned. Those are my SIPs, "sets-in-progress." Each SIP has a container where
I store the parts that I've located. Together those 330 SIPs consist of
approximately 56,000 pieces. Of those, I have located about 23,000 pieces and
I am still looking for the other 23,000 pieces. I would guess my personal brick
collection consists of 100,000+ pieces that are not currently assigned to a SIP.
They are sorted and stored in other many other containers. When I need to locate
a piece for a SIP I look in about 5 "likely" containers then give up. Do I not
have the piece or is just in one of the many many "unlikely" containers?
SOLUTION: I'm building a MySQL Database to keep track of my collection.
Using BL's category system, there exist many bricks, slopes, arches etc.,
based more or less on shape. Within the sub-category bricks there are 1x1,
2x2, 2x4 etc., more or less based on size.
QUESTIONS: Q1;What are these sub-categories called? I would call them an ELEMENT.
is that correct? is there a better name for the sub-categories? Further, the
sub-categories such as 1x1 bricks of course come in many colours. Q2: What are
these sub-sub-categories called, or what are these ELEMENTs with a particular
colour called? I would call them a PART. Correct? Any other better name?
Q3; Lastly, if I hold in my hand, one blue 1x1 brick, what should that be called?
I would suggest that is a PIECE. Correct? Any better answer?
CATEGORY :: ELEMENT :: PART :: PIECE ??

I noticed there are two versions of the 1 x 4 x 5 glass with 9 stripes,
 
Part No: 2494pb08  Name: Glass for Window 1 x 4 x 5 with 9 White Stripes Pattern (Sticker) - Sets 6386 / 6540
* 
2494pb08 Glass for Window 1 x 4 x 5 with 9 White Stripes Pattern (Sticker) - Sets 6386 / 6540
Parts: Window, Glass & Shutter, Decorated
one has more wider and the other one more narrow stripes.
Looking at the sticker sheets of the two sets this part comes from I believe
the narrow one is from set 6386
 
Set No: 6386  Name: Police Command Base
* 
6386-1 (Inv) Police Command Base
347 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1986
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Police
and the wider from set 6540
 
Set No: 6540  Name: Pier Police
* 
6540-1 (Inv) Pier Police
315 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1991
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Police
Maybe there should be a remark about this.


Besides: how can I show a sticker sheet in a message?

Part #76338 is considered an alternate item id for part #4895. I noticed that
Duplo bed, part #4895 has a mold marking in the center of the bed while Duplo
bed, part #76338 has a mold marking inside a bottom tube.

Is this something that should be added to the catalog?

I checked 17 beds, part #76388, and they all have mold markings inside a bottom
tube, and 7 beds, part #4895 that all have mold marking on top of the bed (in
the center).

Hi all,


New member here...

I'm interested to know if there is a list anywhere of the sets with their
retirement date.

I see the 'year released' on all the item pages, but nothing on retirement.

If anyone can help I'd be most grateful

Thanks!

Hello

I was about to sell a lot of assemblies of
 
Part No: 6134  Name: Hinge Brick 2 x 2 Top Plate
* 
6134 Hinge Brick 2 x 2 Top Plate
Parts: Hinge
and
 
Part No: 3937  Name: Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Base
* 
3937 Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Base
Parts: Hinge
and found out
that no such assemblies exist in the catalog like they do for the 3939c* assemblies
with
 
Part No: 3938  Name: Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Top Plate
* 
3938 Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Top Plate
Parts: Hinge
tops. So if I want to sell them on BL, I have to disassemble them
and I have found that to be very difficult. In many cases, it leaves stressmarks
on the small hooks on the bases, and then I need to discard them.

So, is there any project planned to make assemblies for these? They come in two
flavors depending on whether the top turns upwards or downwards, so the amount
of parts needed would approx. be doubled compared to the 3937c* assemblies. But
IMHO, it would really help sellers.

I've come across this rare gem - A full, uncut set of sails from the Carribbean
Clipper, still attached, never used. Well, obviously I'd classify this particular
one as used as I found it floating around in a box of parts. But anyway, I don't
see a catalog entry for the sails still being attached. I'd be happy to
submit them as an entry if they are quantifiable. I'd plan to straighten
them before posting a pic - They're still a tad bit wrinkly from taking a
bath, I mean, they are 31 years old

This part has 1 known colour listed: white. But the only picture is of this part
in red. This torso is found in one part, that part is also listed as white.

Could an additional known colour of red be added? The Torso assembly would be
red torso, red arms, red hands.

All the baseplates from the 70's, which I have from original sets, have different
tubes (do you call them tubes?) compared with newer baseplates. I do not know
when this chance took place, but is it worth to add a note for these baseplates
as they come in different variations?

It would be a lot of work making pictures aspecially with all the baseplates
with white dots and I certainly do not have them all.

On the attached picture is a example from set 648-1. On the right the original
one from the 70's and on the left a newer one.

Hi

I have a head which I cannot locate on Bricklink. I can find it in the blocked
open stud version, but cannot locate the head with the hollow stud version.

The head has the lego stamp inside the top stud

Item number 3626bpb0435 is for the blocked open stud version

Help please

Thanks

Hey!

I am busy putting duplo into my inventory and ran into this little airplane.

It is not in a condition i want to sell it in, so i looked if it could be demolished
to smaller parts. In my idea it contains some wheels i cannot find in the catalog
and wheel pins number 2344. Can it be parted out?


Regards, Marielle

Asking as it is over 2 parts and not one it may not be.

Hey, so I was wondering why BrickLink lists the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's
Stone items under the "Sorcerer's Stone" name? Even brickset uses the original
title as the subtheme. Just seems kinda odd.

I don't know if its just me but with regards to the ideas and dimensions
themes would'nt it make sense to only give minifigures the 'idea'
and 'dim' codes if they don't already belong to an established and
existing theme? For instance all the Ideas Pirates of Barracuda Bay minifigs
should perhaps be given 'pi' numbers instead of 'idea' numbers?
Likewise dimensions Gimli, Gandalf, Legolas should maybe have a 'lor'
number instead of 'dim' same goes for Slimer and Stay Puft Marshmallow
man which also have 'dim' numbers instead of 'gb'

With the original ghostbusters minifigs from Ecto-1 it looks like they were already
changed from 'idea' numbers to 'gb' numbers with an i on the
end which might be a good way to keep some continuity on the site?

Here we go: (the answers are on the bottom of this message)

1. How many Classic Fire Logo stickers are on the stickersheet of set 374-1?
2. How many Classic Fire Logo stickers are on the counterparts together?
3. Which counterpart is responsible for the difference?
4. Can we just rename this counterpart? Yes or No?
5. Why not?
6. What can we do about this?

If you have correctly answered all the 6 questions, your price is the title 'logical
thinker of the day'!

Cheers, Wilbert








Answers:
1. Five
2. Six (3009pb043L: one; 3009pb043R: one; 3001oldpb07: two (both sides); BA067pb01:
two (both sides)
3. Part 3001oldpb07 (look closely to the frontpage of the instructions as the
instructions itself are not conclusive)
4. No
5. As counterpart 3001oldpb07 is also related to set 590-1, which has the right
number of Classic Fire Logo stickers on the stickersheet (six), which by the
way is not proven by the (frontpage of the) instructions. But ok .....!
6. I really do not know hahaha! No seriously: add a new counterpart for set 374-1.

Just wondering if anyone has a sealed set of
 
Set No: 3178  Name: Seaplane
* 
3178-1 (Inv) Seaplane
98 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2010
Sets: Town: City: Harbor
.

I am parting out an incomplete set bought off Ebay and have a query with part
 
Part No: 3794  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud, Jumper (Undetermined Type)
* 
3794 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud, Jumper (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Plate, Modified {Light Bluish Gray}
.

The current inventory lists the undetermined part 3794 in LBG, but I have found
 
Part No: 15573  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud with Groove and Bottom Stud Holder (Jumper)
* 
15573 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud with Groove and Bottom Stud Holder (Jumper)
Parts: Plate, Modified {Light Bluish Gray}
LBG during part out.

So hence the request for a sealed set to check which variant is used, and to
correct the catalogue if needed.

This minifigure "Endor Rebel Commando" sw0367 nad sw0368 has the wrong helmet
in partout:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw0368#T=S&O={%22ss%22:%22SK%22,%22rpp%22:%2250%22,%22iconly%22:0}

The actual helmet is the one on the attached picture not the one in the part
out.
This actual helmet colour variation is nowhere on BL to be found.

This is the actual color variation from the set. See attached. I have 4 of those
sets and all minifigures have this same helmet:

Not sure how to go about this, but part

 
Part No: 970c00pb0052  Name: Hips and Legs with Lime Boots and Belt Pattern (Buzz Lightyear)
* 
970c00pb0052 Hips and Legs with Lime Boots and Belt Pattern (Buzz Lightyear)
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Decorated

needs to be broken up into 2 separate entries. Currently we only have one for
a lime printing. I have been listing legs recently and came across 4 of these
legs. Three of them had lime printing, the fourth has bright green printing(verified
as Lego). Searching for "Buzz Lightyear" figures, I came across minifig toy004
from which the picture seems to show bright green printing, yet inventory says
it has the legs with lime print.

My guess is that it hasn't been discovered yet that there is a bright green
version, so all the figures with it are being inventoried as having the lime
version.

Hi,

This is probably a very daft question, but I can't seem to find the answer
anywhere so... where does the minifig item number come from?

For example, take the minifig 'twn071' (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=twn071)

As far as I understand, this means it is the 71st figure within the category
'Town'.

So who decides the categories and the number ordering within those categories?
LEGO? Bricklink? Someone else?

I am asking because I want to start seriously collecting and organising figures
across several categories, but I would like to fully understand this system before
I start using it!

Thanks in advance,
Josh

This page was becoming unwieldy with all the variants and was difficult to maintain:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=940

So now we've added this:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogRelCat.asp?relID=24

Definitions updated:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=599

Now when you discover a new mold or print variant, all you have to do is:

1. Submit a comparison image showing the differences.

2. Submit a relationship match.

That's it! Enjoy.

I have the small stickers that fit over the blue 6541 and the blue 4070 to this
set as they are applied in the first model. However in the alternate build for
this set, they look to be applied to a 1 x 6 brick.

Do they qualify to be added as a SOA part, and also as a brick decorated part
to the catalog, or are they nullified from being added since they can be applied
in multiple configurations in this set?

I have found this part in Light Gray, and I'll be supplying an image to the
catalog. Here is some comparison images. The car base is also Light Gray.

Hey fellow bricklinkers,

Today i parted out 20 times set 41916 - dots series 2 charms.

I added half of the printed tiles to the catalog (the other half was already
there), but it is not added to the set inventory. Am I to impatient or did i
do something wrong in adding?

Very curious in discovering (still...) the adding to the catalog functions

Thx for your insights! - Marielle

Hello everyone,

I have some long-awaited news for you! We have created a new Catalog Admin position
which has privileges on both sides of the system, the catalog and inventories.
This is a culmination of about 3 years of work, and we are so proud of our first
ever member to take this position, Hygrotus.

He has steadily worked his way up to this level from his years of being an outstanding
and reliable contributor, to a special class of contributor known as an Inventories
Verifier, to one year experience as an Inv Admin, and then most recently about
14 months as a Catalog Associate. We are pleased that he has stuck with the program
and now is going to forge ahead.

We are combining the two "halves" of the system for many reasons, but the main
one being efficiency. If only one admin is available on a given weekend, for
example, we can take care of contributions on both sides, which are often dependent
on each other.

We will retain the Catalog Associate and Inv Admin positions for the purpose
of training new Catalog Admins. They will be considered transitory positions.
