part of the Community Expert Program.

Not sure why anyone is surprised about this. There was a big catalog dump that
was largely stormchaser’s baby and it was mostly cancelled at the last minute.
Was he frustrated, probably. Is this the first time he has left BL, no. This
might not be the last we see of stormchaser. He had big ambitions, but it looks
like he wasn’t given the freedom to execute his vision. Maybe BL was right to
not make too many catalog changes at once, but maybe not... Either way, when
you get paid to do a job, it’s important to do your best within the parameters
of that job. I’m just guessing, but I think he was just ahead of his time at
BL. All the best!

Did you check the packet throughly? Sometimes cloth elements can stick to the
inside of the bag or get caught in a corner.

| | We are pleased to announce that a major new feature was deployed to the catalog
today - Packing Dimensions!
|
Today the last bug was fixed for the new Packing Dimensions Project, Phase 1.
Contributors may now use the question mark link on the catalog detail page to
quickly and easily submit a missing Packaging Dimension (see Image 1).
If the question mark isn't working as a link, it's not a bug - just go
to your Catalog Settings page and check the box (see Image 2):
Show Links to Add Weight and Dimensions
...and be sure to save your settings. 
A full 7 months before the April 6 release of this feature, on Sep 6 of last
year I opened a new Forum Topic called Packing Dimensions X, to make it easier
to handle the large backlog of requests that had built up earlier in the year.
When I opened the topic, I actually asked people NOT to contribute except when
necessary:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1220218
As a matter of consideration, please don't add dimensions for parts with
every side under 20mm.
And then on Oct 6, I asked for the following:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1225859
...until we get a tool that goes through the normal approval channels (which
is coming in the next few weeks), please do not submit measurements for an entire
set of [300] decorated parts...
However, now that the tool is ready to use, I would like to officially remove
all restrictions from submitting Packing Dimensions. We are planning to open
up some other forms and give you some handy filters to find missing dimensions
- this will be in Phases 2 and 3. But for now, the paved road is finally open,
so drive on through!
I'd also like to include a little chart showing the effect of releasing this

I saw the blue ? before I saw the forum post. That should speed things up.

They are already in the inventory, as regular and extra parts. This is similar

This will be worth more, as it is a nice one that can also be used for variation
and not just curiousity. Did you get it in a set, or in a lot? I think one of
the Chinese sellers that do missing print / bad print parts was selling that
one a few years ago. I bought a lot of LOTR parts that were missing paint from
them but didn't really pay too much attention to the SW parts. I remember
that they had a lot of partially printed ewok heads.

No, we don't DESERVE all the details, but I totally understand why people

I have enjoyed many collaborations with Stormchaser. He knows how I feel about
him. Whether on staff or not in the future, I hope he will continue to contribute.
If his life has changed and he doesn't have the time, maybe he will return
later. If his feelings have been hurt and he needs some time or never wants
to come back, I understand that. There is still a lot of work to do on the catalog,
but at the end of the day none of us do it unless it is fun. Some day I will
quit. Not soon, I think. Meanwhile there are some ugly old renders and some
some undetermined coconut trees, so I'm going back to work.

Seems disingenuous, your expression of concern. He’s a big boy, that I don’t

I appreciate Robert and his efforts as much as any others here, and before most:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1178543
He’s quit the catalog team before though: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1178543
He’s also gone to the extent of quitting BL altogether, unregistering vowing
publicly never to return: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1123830
Only to be reinstated by that evil BL office (admin) you seem incessant in denigrating.
-popsicle

Ouch! You got me there: I harbor no good feelings toward the BL office. However,
I do generally admire your positivity and wish I had more of it. I used to look
on the better side of things and now I don't.
There's too many things that could be better if they chose to make them better.
This rankles me. I do try to be supportive and kind when I see genuine effort.
I help newbies, I support our admin, I contribute. So, I am incessant in wanting
things to be better. You're right. 'Denigrating' implies that I am
lashing out without cause. Is that fair?

Seems disingenuous, your expression of concern. He’s a big boy, that I don’t
believe was without compensation.
I appreciate Robert and his efforts as much as any others here, and before most:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1178543
He’s quit the catalog team before though: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1178543
He’s also gone to the extent of quitting BL altogether, unregistering vowing
publicly never to return: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1123830
Only to be reinstated by that evil BL office (admin) you seem incessant in denigrating.

There are two different types of transparency here though - transparency about

They should clearly be transparent about decisions connected to the catalogue.
However, they should not be transparent about why someone is no longer doing

The catalog didn't use to be this way. I was an admin for three years. We
were members and leaders and accountable to the community. For years now, when
you ask an admin for an explanation for a decision, you get one. Robert made
the system even better with published goals, definitions, plans, and community
discussion. Every move the BL office makes to move the catalog more toward them
and away from us is bad news. They are not accountable to us, have practically
no customer service, and have very little LEGO expertise among them. They didn't
build this catalog but they did buy it. So, there we are.
I've noticed for months that our admins, who have traditionally been some
of the most vocal people here on the Forum, are now largely silent. I doubt this
is a coincidence. I wouldn't speak for them, but I will speak for me. Whatever
the reason, the admins that work so hard and support our community have my respect
and support. I think we can all see from the XP site what our catalog would look
like without them.

I am not 100% sure of the rules regarding having a new set in hand for an inventory.
An inventory admin will have to confirm. However, if you want to give it a go:
Start at the Add or Change page.
Choose: Add Inventory - Set
Enter your set number and Reserve Set (This gives you 3 days to start the inventory.)
Navigate back to this page and now Choose: Manual Add, enter your set number
and enter 1 in the Number of Entries
This will bring you to the Add Inventory page. A pop-up will come up asking if
you want to use the known data for the inventory. Click OK.
The fields will auto-populate with the generic LEGO data for the set. Read everything
there and then come back here with all your questions!
Forum members are usually happy to help new submitters.

It can’t be a move toward TLG/LDD’s naming conventions: they don’t exist! 
It could be a move toward TLG/LDD’s categorization but
1. it’s not the intent, it could only be coincidental,
2. as seen in LDD, it’s rather simple (TLG uses more categories but LDD merges
a lot of them in its UI), so in the same way as a stick figure represents any
human and so any human can be recognized in the stick figure, any categorization
can look like LDD’s.

(Most of the) names start with the category, so the sort is already half there.
Also, as the change was moving items between categories, even if the WLs were
sorted by Cat name » item name, the items would still have been sorted differently.
Maybe you could use more, smaller Wanted Lists instead of one (or a few) big
one(s)? (You can buy from several WLs at once.)

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2487
We ran into a brief hiccup with those item type changes, but we plan to get them
moved later today. Let us know if you see anything on the list we missed.
As some of you already noticed, the list of moved items is about 1/9th the proposed
size. For a variety of reasons, we weren't able to accomplish the other
changes. This does not necessarily mean they won't happen, but merely that
they aren't happening right now.
For our October 1st, 2021 list, we're doing things differently to reduce
confusion. We'll post a page for that soon and begin listing items between
now and then. We'll lock it down on September 1st and every single item
placed on the October 1st page will be moved.
For anyone wondering about this process, our goal was to reduce confusion about
where things belong in the catalog. The project consisted of two steps:
1. Define in writing what should be in each category.
2. Move parts as necessary to conform with written definitions.
We've completed step one, for the most part (although it's still being
tweaked here and there). Now we're working (slowly) through step two.
Let us know if you have any questions or comments.

...
2) The parts in the original April 1 list are much more common than those in
the previous list. There are some obscure and some common parts in both lists,
but as a whole, moving parts in the original April 1 list would have had an exponentially
larger impact. Even if we were ok with all of the changes, we would not want
to move this many at one time.
|
You seems to be favouring twice yearly large moves instead of smaller ones, but
then go on to say there were too many to move. What is the plan here, to roll
those over to the next move and possibly bumping other parts of that move if
the list becomes too long again?
|
That was exactly what I've been wondering for a while. The logic of not wanting
"too much" at one time escapes me. The more often things change, the messier
it is. I may open my main store back up once all of this is over (late 2022 or
so) in the meantime it's just too much chaos for me and not really worth
the hassle.
|
I'll say it's also been a massive hassle for me the last few days, thinking
I'm going more nuts than usual with my chemo.
I have several large wanted lists for long-term models that I'm slowly accreting
parts. One of them has minifigure parts for statues. I spent several hours today
trying to hunt down all these parts after changes. They used to all be grouped
together but now arms are in one page, the torsos are 5 pages on (with the 100-parts-per-page
setting) and so on.
This is going to be a massive nightmare for me to do something like order just
the minifigure parts. They're now no longer selectable in nearly one go.
Ditto the animals.
If this process is going to continue, then I'd strongly recommend wanted
list sorting have a new extra option of sorting by item category, then name...
not just item name. So that there's at least some way of getting back to

Yes, I can certainly help you. I can add the parts and then you can upload the

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 ...
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.

is there any news when this set will be approved? Can I help completing it?
I am trying to import this set to studio and fail importing it. I assume it is

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

It is probable that they came with either one of them as it was in the crossover

That is what the standard LBG render from LEGO looks like. Almost all of the
