Comments from Submitter:
Torso should be black not variable color.

Torsos are always variable color in torso assemblies. This request will not be
accepted.

Okay, I was writing to ask why but just found out why it is that way clicking
some torsos

Thanks!

Comments from Submitter:
The parts list (via Brickset.com) from LEGO replacement parts website says one 8 tooth gear should be regular.
But why?

Because it is used in an alternate model from the CD-ROM.

(Took me some time to figure that out.)

Awesome, Jonas! I could not figure out why that part was included!

Besides Jonathan's set, I had found many images of other sealed sets showing
the gears included in the set, so I knew they had to be used for something. Nice
detective work!

Randy

Technically speaking the inventory is incorrect because of the different LEGO
logos on the back of the torso.

973pb0678 Torso Pirate Captain Jacket Open with Yellow Trim over Green Shirt with Neck Ruffle, Brown Strap, Belt with Buckle, LEGO Logo on Back Pattern

But considering the number of items for sale and recently sold items it's

Hi,

I think it would be great if you could generate a code for your store so people
could enter it for a discount.

This would be good for marketing on social media rather than having to issue
individual coupons.

Is there any chance this could be developed?

Thanks,

Allen.

You don't use Instant Checkout, so why not just put your code on facebook
or wherever, saying add it to the order comments. Then you can manually adjust.

Sounds like a grocery store where you need a keycard for some deals and then

be quite upset if I bought from a store, and then realized that I could have
saved 10% if I saw some advertisement from somewhere else. This is just like
when any of us buy something and then learn it was cheaper if we entered some

Keep it simple for all of us customers, no matter what industry we are talking

The goal isn’t to have every buyer pay the “best” price. This “best” price is
funded by the ones who don’t pay it.
IOW, you say “when you have the power to reduce prices or run general sales for
all customers,” but that’s the thing: they can’t afford to reduce the prices
for everyone, or it would be a tiny, unmemorable reduction. So they do the next
best thing: make you believe they reduce the prices often. Too bad you always
miss it.

And there’s lots of psychological reasons: feeling special, feeling the discount
is earned, remembering the prices are low even if you paid more, etc.

Also, people are different: You get upset when you realize you missed a discount
while others don’t care and just throw away coupons. And it seems to work because
they do it again and again (and they have the numbers to know if it’s efficient).

Adding yet another facility to race to the bottom - are you sure that is a good
thing?

Whilst figures rarely lie - they also mislead people. The latest digital media
usage figures are shown below and that ia a heck of a lot of people using social
media - but conversely the other half + do not use it (we are one of those).
Let your store speak for itself with quality goods, wide variety and first class
customer service - that will drive people to it as well as encouraging them to
return and become regular buyers/customers. Why do it with discounts? There really
isn't that much real margin in selling Lego.

We see enough 40/50/60 + % sales notices in the forum to do us for a lifetime
without adding to it.

Voted no, needless to say.

I think part of the idea is to draw people to the site that don't know about
bricklink

buts its like that flyer for the takeaway down the road, you ignore it! but then
if its saying get 50% off maybe you will look into it a bit more? Takeaway leaflets
are not the best example as I ignore them all anyway but I think you get the
idea....

Nothing wrong with drawing people to the site e.g. encouraging it for the right
reasons. Perhaps with TLG actually getting involved and some marketing effort
put in by the new owners that can be achieved without further discounting. A
lot of people are put off by discounts - not all, of course , There is so much
more to be done to the site and Lego's involvement needs to get stronger
and stronger - and that should pull more people here.

There will be people, some already, who think this is a good idea. In fact there
probably isn't anything wrong with it but we wouldn't use it as we aren't
interested in seeing 'how low can you go' - That isn't part of our
business model - it may be for others.

If you remove the cut hose, it will be very hard to know what length of used

Since I had saved the photos of the listing, I sent him and got confirmation
that we were talking about the same copy. So I asked him about the extra parts
and he listed them as given here. I found all the extra parts used in an alternate
model except the extra 1*1 black plate.

For extra parts I'd like more evidence than just one used set.

I don't think we can have any extra evidence one day.

Especially when you only have an extra in black and not in light gray. I know extra 1x1
plates sometimes came in sets from that era, but I would expect them in both
colors.

I do not expect this.

The extra parts are not at all important for me, since we have this new definition.
But if I put two plus two, I believe in this evidence.

Comments from Submitter:
I was unaware of this variant until a few days ago. Even then I didn't think to check if I had any, but I thought of it when I sold these and snapped a pic. It wasn't green in any inventory, so it wasn't even in my wanted list. I may have to buy this set again now.

I believe until 2001 (or maybe even 2002 or 2003) only the "c" variant existed.

And we already talked about that part last year.

https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=256195

I didn't mean that I had always been unaware of the part. I meant that between
last August and last week I was unaware of it.

. And also before last August.

I loaded up my wanted list with it now, so I will probably stay aware of it now.

It should be centered on the container which means that should be partially on

Ah ok, I only based it on what I read in the help notes here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2464

So for US sellers, how do get to establish what a zone is? As far as I can tell
for us here, we can't even go by Provinces nor Postal Codes, so there are
no ways for us to create zones within Canada.

I believe those 'zones' are just ways for the seller to organize international
shipping. My understanding is that there are no zip code based anything in IC.

Jen

Ok good to know. I'm not sure how granular it is for you guys with USPS but
for us in Canada, we go from basic Lettermail (2cm thickness maximum, low weight
max) which is standard country-wide, and then jump to basically only a single
kind of parcel service (if you exclude Xpresspost) which varies SO widely in
prices across the country. A parcel that ships within my city for $11.27CAD (and
also ships to Toronto and Montreal for the same price) costs $14.80 in a town
15 minutes away from my house. It's actually cheaper for me to send that
same tracked parcel to the US.

It's so difficult for us to create generic shipping parcel prices because
the gap between the prices in different parts of Canada is so great. The urban
cities in ON/QC ship for $11.27CAD for me (or even cheaper in QC due to taxes),
but can reach just over $20 for the same parcel in the more remote areas on the
opposite side of the country. If we could at least create manual zones, even
based on province of the buyer, we would at least be able to create a better
"average" price for all buyers.

The differences in our zones is much smaller. For me in Chicago, the smallest
package ranges from $2.74 to $3.18. A 16oz package is $5.04 to $5.70. Over that
weight, we have to use Priority where the differences get much more noticeable.
But 90% of my orders are below 16oz so it is not too much hassle.

Good luck!
Jen

As far as I can see, IC looks to have been setup in 2017 with little to no additional
updates having been made to it. I have e-mailed Help Desk a couple of months
ago with no response, so just posting here in the forum to hopefully gain a bit
more visibility (and perhaps other buyers/sellers from Canada could add onto
this):

-Provincial sales tax; Canadian sellers who must collect provincial sales tax
may not enable IC at all for domestic orders. This is one of the most basic requirements
which is preventing myself (and others) to move fully to IC. This primarily impacts
the higher volume stores.

-Zone-based shipping for Canada Post; as far as I know, only USPS has a built-in
API at the moment. Due to the granularity of Canada Post, this would be of huge
assistance, or at least let us create zones by Province or Postal Codes and we
can manually set up pricing based on that information. Canada is a vast country
and this impacts pricing.

Thank-you for your consideration

Thanks for the feedback!

For this initial version, I didn't want to add any Macros just in case it
made people wary of downloading and trying it out, but I can absolutely create
a version that's macro enabled and add an export option/button linked to
a macro.

Right now, it's two steps, right click the data and export the xml, then
the Upload button just takes you to the Bricklink upload page so it can be uploaded
manually. I'd have to take a look at the upload HTML request / post detail
to see if there's a way to do it in a single button.

I'll take a look tonight. Thx again!

Neat!
-I've got a similar spreadsheet for initial uploads that links the color
code to the typed color name.
-I'll often download by current inventory and then use a vlookup in the "Remarks"
column for the new upload so it'll return an inventory location if an identified
part/color combo already exists in inventory.
-Do you create the XML using that yellow "Upload" icon as a macro enabled button?
That'd be a handy short-cut I might have to add.

Cool, also every time I export from my sheet, the first line of code is filled
with a bunch of garbage so I always type the first line manually
and then paste in the rest.

Any ideas on how to get rid of all that schema blah blah jargon when exporting?

Question for you, Reza.

In this set, do you think that there are really 2x

3195pb04 Door 1 x 5 x 4 Left with White 'TRANSPORT' on Red Background Pattern (Sticker) - Set 725-2
Parts: Door, Decorated

Looking at the instructions and assuming the stickers are symmetrical on both
sides of the car, shouldn't one of the stickers be applied to a

3194 Door 1 x 5 x 4 Right
Parts: Door {Red}

Thanks,
Randy

Randy,

I am not sure what you mean by "symmetry" so I studies all the symmetries of
this car. See photo attached.
The reflection along the yellow line is one symmetry, but we can surely assume
that there is no preference between the front and back of this car so we get
a reflection along the red line. Overall, the group of symmetries of this car
has four elements and its group structure is
Z/2Z + Z/2Z
This group is not cyclic and depending on the symetry we choose, we can get four
different answers.

Sorry, I know my presentation is too simple and is not at the level of complexity
of your question but this is the best I could do.

Cheers,
Reza

Hi Reza!

Okay, look at the image below. The left side shows the car from the instructions
with the "TRANSPORT" sticker attached on one door. The right side shows the car
mirrored to simulate the opposite side of the car. Therefore, shouldn't the
"TRANSPORT" sticker on that side be on the

3194 Door 1 x 5 x 4 Right
Parts: Door {Red}

instead of having two

3195pb04 Door 1 x 5 x 4 Left with White 'TRANSPORT' on Red Background Pattern (Sticker) - Set 725-2
Parts: Door, Decorated

listed in the inventory?

Cheers,
Randy

Randy,
I don't think you realized I was kidding in my entire message. Even this
one didn't hit? See

Sorry, I know my presentation is too simple and is not at the level of complexity
of your question but this is the best I could do.

Behind the scenes, I went through all photos on the box art and the instructions.
No image! I also checked photos on the catalogs. There was even a photo of a
train layout in which the train was in front so the sides of the train were not
visible.

This issue exists also for other trains, like 7740. My suggestion is to assume
the symmetry in the normal sense, meaning one left and one right stickered door.

Did you check my question in regard to the inventory change request for train
162?

Cheers
Reza

Please do. It may be a regional thing, since the inventory was submitted by someone
here in the States, and it was confirmed by someone here in the States (both
of them are recognized contributors to BrickLink). When I was checking some speed
builds on YouTube from people not in the States, I seemed to see some evidence

Okay, I have checked the set and can confirm the extra slope and wedges, but
not the extra 1x2 plate.

Randy, it was not a mistake but I did not want to complicate the inventory change
- as the regular part was already established as an alternate one.

But you said *all* of your sets came with *all* white 3794a. If they *all* came
with *all* white 3794a and you didn't get any white 3794b, why would you
ask to add any white 3794b as alternates? It doesn't make sense. There is
no established white 3794a or 3794b in the set, just one undetermined entry that
should just be replaced with what you found. Right?

But when we get now rid off of the undertermined entries, I would just simly
add my findings as regular ones and fully skip the alternate ones.

Hi Randy,

in ALL 3 boxes there were the SAME mix up of these parts:

like to see implemented.

There's a good chance I might buy the fig instead.

After a brief search I could not find anything on the following, so there goes
my first post.

Sometimes I have parts like a hinge plate 1 x 2 with 1 finger (the old hinges)
on my wanted list.
This can be found
- as such , just this part
- in a parts assembly (together with the 2 finger hinge plate)
- in a set

If I search for any directly I can find them, no problem.
Nevertheless an option like "include part assembly in search" and/or "include
sets in search" would save me doing 3 different searches, besides possibly adding
all possible combinations to my wanted lists (risking missing out on a good purchase
or duplicating parts).

I would expect an option like this in the wanted list, (search and shop options),
shop search and catalog search for example.

To avoid massive search results ( if you have big wanted lists and/or very common
parts on the wanted list) a tickbox could be added at wanted list item level:
to indicate whether you want this to be eligable for the above options or not.

I am looking for feedback on the idea. Did I simply mis an option that I can
use? How can I propose it to the administrators?

Thanks for reading and feedback is really apreciated

randyf, the part is definitely made up of 3 separate parts (1 of the main chassis,
and 2 of the modified 2X2 plates.) Each of the 3 parts has a molded part number
that you can see on the underside.

What I meant to say was that the part comes as one complete unit in the sets
directly from LEGO and is counted as one part by LEGO. There is no need to assemble
it, and it is not meant to be disassembled. I was rushing through messages before,
so I didn't explain it well enough.

Cheers,
Randy

That makes sense. I did have a strong suspicion that the parts came pre-assembled
in sets, since that chassis is a juniorized part (for young kids), and the precise
force that would be required to put the 2X2 modified plates on the underside
looked like something that would take adult level effort.

Hopefully not for long. But perhaps I can shed some insight as I have a background
as a photographer/videographer.

I can't say what camera, but for pictures like this a macro lens is required
to get close in shots with tiny objects like Lego. If Mark is using a DSLR of
some kind or comparable then shooting uncompressed photos will retain sharper
images.

I can't say what filters Mark used, but a polarizer filter can help greatly
with reducing reflective / semi-reflective surfaces like Lego.

And Mark is most likely using a light box of some sort or using white surfaces
of some kind to bounce the light for even lighting/softer shadowing.

Hopefully Mark will be back to elaborate but hopefully this information is helpful
in the meantime.
