  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6431  Name: Road Rescue
* 
6431-1 (Inv) Road Rescue
44 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1998
Sets: Town: Res-Q

* Add 2 Part 3023 Yellow Plate 1 x 2

Comments from Submitter:
These pieces fit between the head lights and tail ligths of the car.

The instructions that I have show that the part between the headlights is
 
Part No: 3021  Name: Plate 2 x 3
* 
3021 Plate 2 x 3
Parts: Plate {Yellow}
and that the parts between the tail lights are two
 
Part No: 4085c  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with U Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085c Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with U Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified {Yellow}

An image of the sealed set contents of this set also show those parts. In fact,
there are no yellow 1x2 plates used anywhere in the build.

This request will not be accepted.

If you have different instructions, please provide an image of them.

Cheers,
Randy

Had a largish haul of parts with a lot of Dark Pink bricks. Whilst sorting I
found quite a few sun damaged so just binned as I found them. But just had another
look at one and I don't think it is sun damage after all. It has totally
changed colour and completely consistent throughout. I would say this is the
same as the 'brittle blue' thing. Attached an image so show different
(photo doesn't quite capture it perfectly). Another one I'll add to
my ever-growing collection of weird Lego colours.

The color Dark Pink was changed around the same time that the new grays replaced
the old grays in 2004. So there are two true distinct shades of Dark Pink:

LEGO color 22 Medium Reddish Violet (early Dark Pink)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14777415117/

LEGO color 221 Bright Purple (modern Dark Pink)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14988645798/

I don't know if this explains the difference in the color of your parts,
but I thought you should be aware of the history of the color.

Cheers,
Randy

I have never been able to tell the difference with certainty. I have bought parts
that must be one of the two colors because of the date the part was made. There
is so much variation that I could not tell them apart.

I managed to get both those colours in 2x4 bricks Randy, I had them for a while
until I realised the colour discrepancy. I think I looked at those Flickr images
before, it's afab resource place for obscurities.

It's really interesting how certain colours do that. I'll keep a few
as I'm fascinated by lego colour quirkities.

Thx for your insights! - Marielle

Hi, after they are added to the catalog they still have to be added to the set
inventory. You can submit an inventory change request to add them to the inventory
at https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp?itemType=S

I think i submitted a request! Thanks!

If you use BrickStock, you can select all lots and choose Consolidate.

Don’t know of an “automated way” but there’s an easier way to perform the inventory
clean-up task that is consolidating lots…

First: go to: https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp

Second: within “Seach My Inventory” upper right section of the page, select Parts,
New
and Non-Unique, before hitting the Go! tab (see screenshot
below)

Third: set Sort Items By: to Item No, Color Name (see other screenshot)

At this point it’s fairly easy to see any lots that need consolidating, and to
do so.

I perform this and other tasks every month or so, to help maintain inventory
integrity of our store.

  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.

Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Minifig No: sp033  Name: M:Tron with Air Tanks
* 
sp033 (Inv) M:Tron with Air Tanks
Minifigures: Space: M:Tron

* Change 1 Part Yellow {3626bp01 Minifigure, Head Standard Grin Pattern - Blocked Open Stud to 3626ap01 Minifigure, Head Standard Grin Pattern - Solid Stud}

Comments from Submitter:
The main head type of the M-Tron figures was the Solid Stud Head in 1990. I've never found a set with Blocked Open Stud Head figure, thereby I think the current inventory item list is misleading for collectors. Please change it to Solid Stud Head if possible.

  So I have downloaded the instructions for 31109, and wondered how I could upload
the parts list in order to obtain parts to build the tavern. I want to do a Moc
based on the tavern to use with the island parts left over from Pirates of Barricuda
Bay with the ship built properly. Thanks.

It looks like this set is still in the process of having its inventory added.
Once it is done under the My Wanted List link on the set page, a Part Out link
will appear. That link will allow you to add all the parts to a wanted list you
can then use to purchase them. I don't use that feature often but as far
as I remember it will also let you edit the list to whatever subset of parts
you might want during the process, or you can also delete unneeded parts from
your wanted list later.
