I have several unique pieces with stickers on them that are not in BrickLink's
inventory catalog. One is from a Moana set, and also 4 different parts belonging
to the Death Star Final Duel II (Star Wars) set. The Final Duel set currently
has zero parts with stickers in its inventory. This definitely needs an update.

I've never submitted items to be added myself, and so I'm pretty unfamiliar
with the process. How can I get these parts added into the system? Thank you.

Also a thank you for the pointers! I've got a couple of pieces from a Disney
Frozen set and Friends set that didn't appear on the catalogue

Okay, I'm reading up more on how to create a new number for a sticker'd
part... boy, this is really out of my league. Much more involved than I was hoping.
Oofdah.

Is there anyone willing to just take the photos I currently have of the parts,
and add them into the catalog themselves? I realize this might be a big ask,
now that I'm seeing all of the steps required just to input one piece.

Yes, I can certainly help you. I can add the parts and then you can upload the
images. I will send you a PM for more info.

Re: Minecraft Water Animal should be minifigures

In CatalogueList Animal, Water (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=145
), there are several minecraft animals, such as minedolphin01, mineguardian01,
mineguardian02, mineturtle1, but they have different characteristics from parts,
that is, they are some kind of minifigures not parts.

Almost all the part are inseparable, but the minecraft water animals are built
from several bricks. The item description says they are appeared in some sets
(for example, the mineturtle1 is appeared in 21152-1), but they are not in the
sets, only the parts of the animal appears. I think that is not good for inventory
management.

In case of minecraft iron golem (min082, min093), they are minifigures, not parts.
I think the two groups is very similar in nature. So all of the minecraft water
animals should be moved from parts to minifigures. Then, the minecraft sets management
will be more consistent, I believe.

Thank you for reading.

Min

Animals vs minifigures is a real mess for what gets included. Not just in Minecraft
but across all themes.

It happens in other animals sections too, air for example ...

smaug01 (Inv) Dragon, The Hobbit (Smaug)
Parts: Animal, Air

As the animals section exists, they put animals in there. So Scooby Doo, Smaug,
Santa's Little Helper, Snowball II (all named characters) plus other more
generic ones such as the Minecraft animals, the snail from the LEGO Movie, and
so on. Whether they are single pieces or large assemblies those animals go into
the relevant animals location. Yet Unikitty and the other animals from that series,
they go into Minifigures. I can understand un-named animals going into an animals
section, but not for named animal characters.

There is even a tea cup that also goes into minifigures, even though there is
a category for minifigure utensils where it should go with the other tea-cups
with or without faces (like there is an animals category for animals).

[m=dp115]
[p=38014pb01]

And that is without even starting with the trains, cars, steamrollers, and all
those other vehicles that are minifigures even though there are dedicated sections
for trains and vehicles.

It is not clear why (named) licensed animals are treated in such a different
way to licensed vehicles and tea cups and wardrobes.

I am trying to import this set to studio and fail importing it. I assume it is
due to the fact that the part list has not been approved yet?

This yoda is from the atlas book that I just received. The yoda is in a clamshell

was assembled already. My question is that I see the picture of sw1144 with the
backpack on but it was not assembled that way on the clamshell—do we need another
picture of yoda without backpack or just let it be?

How is Yoda depicted in the book? With or without backpack? If with, then it
is correct.

Then it is correct he has a backpack on in the book. Let it be known that yoda
also is seen using his other items in the book too!!

Hi everyone.
I am a new member and whilst searching for items I have come across a few items
that need editing or more details added to them.
How can I edit or supply more details??
An example is item min093, says it is found in set 21132 which is incorrect.
It appears in sets 21123 and 21128

Minifig No: min093 Name: Iron Golem - Tow Ball Arm Attachments

min093 (Inv) Iron Golem - Tow Ball Arm Attachments
Minifigures: Minecraft

could be in

21128-1 (Inv) The Village
1528 Parts, 9 Minifigures, 2016
Sets: Minecraft

but it looks like it's currently inventoried as just bricks, instead of a
complete minifig.

But in

21123-1 (Inv) The Iron Golem
166 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2016
Sets: Minecraft

that one IS a minifig.

Now how to fix:
Go here: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogAdd.asp
select "change inventory" - "Set"
And fill the form to remove the items that are parts of the figure, and add the
figure.

This is where I immediately get stuck. When adding, the submission form requires
the item number. But if this is a new sticker’d item, it doesn’t yet have a number.
The part that the sticker is on already exists in the catalog.

The sticker items seem like they need additional work involved, so I was hoping
to gain insight specific to them
.

This set

911-1 (Inv) Universal Building Set
369 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1976
Sets: Universal Building Set: Basic Set

was released in 1976. This is the first year of production of

3403c01 (Inv) Turntable 4 x 4 Square Base with (Same Color) Top (3403 / 3404)
Parts: Turntable

I know this because I have checked multiple used copies of train

183-1 (Inv) Complete Train Set with Motor and Signal
183 Parts, 1976
Sets: Train: 4.5V

and checked the production date of their motors.

Some early releases came with

3404ac01 Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted
Parts: Turntable {Black}

while the later productions came with

3404ac01 Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted
Parts: Turntable {Black}

It is however ppossible that some very early releases of

911-1 (Inv) Universal Building Set
369 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1976
Sets: Universal Building Set: Basic Set

came with left-over

3404ac01 Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted
Parts: Turntable {Black}

P.S. My inventory change requests for 183-1 are still under consideration since
Nov 2020:

Hello,

I was thrilled when my parts for 911-1 showed up to once again build my first
LEGO set. However, the turn table listed in the part list for this set on Brickling
is incorrect.

Current part: Item No: 3403c01 - Turntable 4 x 4 Square Base with Same Color
Turntable 4 x 4 Top (3403 / 3404)

Correct part: Item No: 3404ac01 - Turntable 4 x 4 Complete, Faceted

See attached instructions for correct part verification.

The parts are the same size, so the construction should not be affected.

It is probable that they came with either one of them as it was in the crossover
time. I did find online a picture of an open set that has the original turntable
without the 4x4 base. And the photos on the box show the older turntable,

I don't know if this is the right place to post this - if not, please tell
me where I should direct it to. I just noticed that the color of Plate 6 x 8
in Light Bluish Gray is way off from all the other Light Bluish Gray color images.
To me it almost looks like a Dark Gray. Is there a reason for that? because most
of the other plate images are consistent in color.

That is what the standard LBG render from LEGO looks like. Almost all of the
other ones have been updated by myself over the years to look more like the actual
color. I guess I never came across this one in a set that I had to update it.
I will add it to my list of parts to get to.

Thank you for this, btw! You create the best and most consistant color renders.
