as a child about 20 years ago and the red parts we are talking about were noticeable
darker than normal red parts. So I would say they have always been "rust".

I agree. Since the "bright light orange" parts are inventoried as yellow, how
about classifying the "rust" parts as red and adjust the note on both entries?

| Thank you all for the replies. I will certainly consider listing as 'custom'
items.
If you don't mind me asking, why do they choose not to add these to the catalog?
(Maybe you won't know, but I am curious anyways). They are official Lego
sets with Lego pieces, and the instructions have Lego logo and trademark all
over it. I thought it fit into the requirements for adding to the catalog.
Thanks for your time, I'm just trying to understand the guidelines for the
catalog.

We don't generally approve catalog entries without photographs. There are
some very limited exceptions, but these stickered counterparts would not qualify.
Don't feel too bad, though - there are thousands of stickered counterparts
not yet in the catalog. If anyone wants to contribute images for your pending
catalog entries, then I've linked them below:

We'll give it a week or so and then the pending entries will be removed.

Here's the problem with the "rust" parts. Were they really meant to be what
we consider the color rust? Or are they red parts that have changed color over
time?
For example, if we see the "brittle blue" parts these days, we know they look
absolutely different to the blue parts we know and love. However, these parts
probably looked just like blue parts when they were originally released in sets.
Also, the two parts that you have here are the same two parts that have been
documented as being found in a color very close to what looks like bright light
orange but were actually supposed to be yellow. I have a feeling that these color
changes may have to do with the type of plastic used for these two parts.
It would be nice for some of the resident color experts to chime in on this one.

Isn't there a mess with "rust" on Bricklink
WoutR list
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1146513
"27 Rust
= 13 Red Orange (Duplo cows, Fabuland heads)
= The other BrickLink Rust parts are probably an odd version of 21 Bright Red
(?) but that color is so different that the separate listing is justified."
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14960664342/

The decision to add these sets to the catalog is not my decision. I was just

that if they were to be submitted to the catalog right now, they would be rejected.

That's another interesting piece of the puzzle, thanks. Hopefully the OP
will read this thread and get that information.
I am still trying to figure this site out, it's not easy... is there a place

2 pieces that only came in red or rust in two sets, I bought this feeling pretty
sure that they'd be the same. Not too many were made. So if we're going
to recognize the color rust, I think all of these parts are rust and not red.
They might have looked the same new, but they don't look the same now.
-=-=-
A while back I noticed I had two colors of red in 11214. I hadn't documented
it and when I got some more I didn't document it again because I just thought
it was a variation. But the darker ones are a perfect match for these rust parts.
So that's a piece that came in both colors. To repeat, I have taken rust
11214 from more than one set, but I have no way of saying which sets.

Sounds like a grocery store where you need a keycard for some deals and then
an app for even more. To me, it is unnecessary when you have the power to reduce
prices or run general sales for all customers and advertise as such. I'd
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
code at checkout.
PS: Any Grocery Store Managers or Corporate see this... STOP IT. I'm already
in your store. Just give me the best price you are advertising without having
to go through all the extra steps!
PSS: I understand fully how advertising works. I just think it is getting ridiculous.
Keep it simple for all of us customers, no matter what industry we are talking
about.

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).

Torso should be black not variable color.

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

| Hello all, I've got several Toys R Us and Barnes & Noble build event sets
(May 4th promo events, etc). I don't see these sets in the Bricklink Catalog.
Is it possible to add those? (Can I submit them?) Or is this an area that
is not added to the catalog typically?
Thanks for your time!
Todd

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

What about your regular customers that might not be on social media? How do
they get the deals you are allowing for others?
Sounds like a grocery store where you need a keycard for some deals and then
an app for even more. To me, it is unnecessary when you have the power to reduce
prices or run general sales for all customers and advertise as such. I'd
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
code at checkout.
PS: Any Grocery Store Managers or Corporate see this... STOP IT. I'm already
in your store. Just give me the best price you are advertising without having
to go through all the extra steps!
PSS: I understand fully how advertising works. I just think it is getting ridiculous.
Keep it simple for all of us customers, no matter what industry we are talking
about.

You could use the store banner: "Request a quote and receive a discount for xxxx"

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.

code for 20% off and it would work for the first 10 orders.

The downsides would be that you have to give a discount!

Not many (zero) stores will roam the forum to find orders, especially tiny ones.
Search for your parts in the catalogue, and make a Wanted List: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/list.page
Then go search for a UK store on the Buy page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page

If you remove the cut hose, it will be very hard to know what length of used
hose to buy. Doesn't it make sense to move the cut pieces to 'counterparts'?

Yes, I think that's right.

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

I do not expect this.
The extra parts are not at all important for me, since we have this new definition.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

We don't generally approve catalog entries without photographs. There are

Don't feel too bad, though - there are thousands of stickered counterparts
not yet in the catalog. If anyone wants to contribute images for your pending

We don't generally approve catalog entries without photographs. There are
some very limited exceptions, but these stickered counterparts would not qualify.
Don't feel too bad, though - there are thousands of stickered counterparts
not yet in the catalog. If anyone wants to contribute images for your pending
catalog entries, then I've linked them below:
[P=54200pb095L]
[P=54200pb095R]
We'll give it a week or so and then the pending entries will be removed.

Yes, questioning the links in such a “gotcha” tone on a public forum was indeed
strange.
Or at least a strange display of drama seeking.

Question for you, Reza.
In this set, do you think that there are really 2x
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
Thanks,

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
instead of having two
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

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

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
of the extra baby bows with cut corners.

Okay, I have checked the set and can confirm the extra slope and wedges, but
not the extra 1x2 plate.
Additional evidence: https://youtu.be/R6xVJdlFl6g?t=87

Beautiful, Jonas! Thanks! 😄

I can confirm the extra 1x2 plate was my mistake. Sorry!! 😓

No problem! I am glad all of us worked together to get this right.

Thanks for your patience and help, Mauro. I will get these processed.

| Randy,
you are right, as there was previously no alternate part for the whites, it does
not make sense to add white 3794b as alternate.

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?

add my findings as regular ones and fully skip the alternate ones.

So it was a mistake on your part to ask to add 3794b in white as an alternate?
And are we sure we need to keep 3794a in red in the Regular Items section?

| Hi Randy,
in ALL 3 boxes there were the SAME mix up of these parts:
ALL red ones came as 3794b.
ALL white ones came as 3794a.
It seems that this was the standard for these boxes as I have bought all 3 from
different sources.

Comments from Submitter:
From 3 sealed sets, the red part was 3794b, during the white part was 3794b. The undertermined version is not required here anymore.

I am sorry if I am still confused by your statements, but can I ask you to just
answer these questions with a 'yes' or 'no'?
Did you find any 3794a in red in any of the three sets you parted
out?
Did you find any 3794b in red in any of the three sets you parted
out?
Did you find any 3794a in white in any of the three sets you parted
out?
Did you find any 3794b in white in any of the three sets you parted
out?
