I do not know who makes the decision on part variance they decide to put on Bricklink.
I do not like as a buyer or seller there decisions. Who cares if a part has a
line or not. However head variances are period correct variances. So are torso
ribs. Not as concerned about shapes of holes or number of teeth. However I spent
a lot listing the variances and now more to keep them separate. Plus every time
they move things to a different category because they think they know better
even if it makes no sense. It creates more work for sellers moving there inventory
around and trying to remember were it is now. Just one mans opinion

Set No: 76996  Name: Knuckles' Guardian Mech
* 
76996-1 (Inv) Knuckles' Guardian Mech
269 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2024
Sets: Sonic the Hedgehog

The set released on Jan 1; previously, it had an 'inventory pending'
tag, but has been since moved to N/A. Since there are two prominent minifigures
in this set, can I ask when this set can expect to be inventoried? It is the
only Lego Sonic set that that has not been inventoried yet.

I've contacted BrickLink support multiple times via the Help Desk link, and
been ignored every single time. The current system of silver classification is
laughably bad. There are 9 official Lego silvers/chromes/gunmetals, and you only
recognise 4.5, at best.

I have repeatedly offered you the information you need to fix this issue, and
have not once received even a reply for my efforts. Instead, BrickLink is more
interested in maintaining their poorly-categorised colours, removing accurate
listings (how can I include rubber bands with a set, when said rubber bands are
23 years old and dust?), and ignoring the fella trying to literally hand you
the answer to this issue, and also ruining your database by no longer tracking
part variants. You do realise some of those 'insignificant' changes actually
matter, right?

... Right?

Hi,
Question - Will this affect draw numbers? When they combine the variants, will
my draw numbers cease to exist? I will have to find all of my variants and pull
them??? I have thousands of drawers. Nightmare! This is a terrible idea.
Thank you,
Jill

Hello,

I'm back again with more questions about set 60431:

1. I've really combed the catalog and pending items and can't find the
new alien. I can add this cute little guy to the catalog, but have no idea whether
it's a minifig or a part such as animal/land/space. I also haven't found
the head, but can submit that too.

2. The robot shown on page 9 of the second instructions is a counterpart. Should
this be added as a separate counterpart during inventorying? If so, what is it?
A part, or a space exploration minifig, such as cty1447?

Hello again everyone. This is the latest update on the variants project.

*****************************************

Here is the original thread:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1447090

Here is the second thread:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1450622

Here is the overview Help article:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2625

Here is the exhaustive Help article:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2626

Important update to the sellers' correction list:

We have added an XML download to help sellers more easily see which lots in their
store may be affected by these changes. Also see the image attached below:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2629

List of replies from myself:

https://www.bricklink.com/messageList.asp?overTP=Y&q=variants&qS=Y&msgID=&uName=admin_russell&ID=&status=&v=c&max=50

Upcoming schedule:

Tomorrow (Feb 1) we will begin handling issue number 11 in the overview, which
includes tiles and 1 x 1 round bricks. This will not involve any merging, only
changing Item Numbers and Item Names.

A list of changes for this first step will be sent out tomorrow to our affiliates.
If you run a database and would like this list (Excel format), please contact
me through BrickLink and I will send you the list.

This first step is scheduled to be finished by Feb 14.

We have a meeting on Monday (Feb 5) with our catalog admins to go through the
rest of the list and make final decisions. After that meeting, a schedule will
be made for the merges. Due to the large number of minifigure heads in the catalog,
the merge process is likely to not be complete until the end of May.

Hello,

Just starting to work on the inventory for set 60431. I have a wedge part that
looks extremely similar to P/N 13269, but is printed with mold # 4365 (C) 2022.

Should a new catalog submission be made or should I include 13269 in the inventory?

Thanks, - Chris

Part 46212, besides being designed for transparency and so cosmetically very
different on any build, has a functional advantage over its side support counterpart
shown here in the Ninjago City instructions. Sure, placed elements are only visible
with transparent colors, but it can be used to conceal elements in solid colors
as well, or attach to tile parts as a loose connection, something the side support
version cannot do.

Please do not merge this part to 2454.

Hi,

I have a general question about part numbers. What does the "bp" in the

Hello everyone, I’ve been reading up on the multiple threads about the proposed
merge of variants. Setting aside the pros and cons of the change, I have a
question that may have material impact for any stores that are using the API
function. From what I can read it appears that one step in the merge plan is
to actually merge lot numbers together in a sellers inventory. That can create
huge problems for API users, as there is no function to link an inventory lot
ID number to a different inventory number.

My recommendation would be to leave all lot IDs existing and not merge them,
but just change the part number on both lots to the new post-merge item ID number.
So, for example, if a seller had one lot of 3747a and another lot of 3747b, then,
after the merge they would simply have two lots of 3747, and be able to make
the decision to physically combine those, keep them separate with notes, or just
leave the two lots in place.

Can we please get some specific technical information on the proposed actions
within the database and as someone commented previously it may be worthwhile
to send a targeted email to all API users alerting them of the detail of the
change, as some may not be reading the forum.

Thanks. -Jason

Sorry if this is answered somewhere obviously, but for the life of me I just
can't find it... I've just submitted an inventory (Friends set 42614),
and I'm looking to edit the instructions weight, but can't find where
I can do that.

Help please?

First time posting in this thread and my apologies if this is the wrong topic
to put this.

It appears that the weight on 10328 was a typo and the piece count was put in
the weight field.

Current listed weight: 822g
Current piece count: 822


Brickset reports a weight of .7kg. My gut is the piece count and weight wouldn't
be exactly the same. Regretfully I don't have the set so can't verify
the weight -- throwing this out there for consideration.

Thank you - again my apologies if this is the wrong place to flag. Welcome guidance
on the correct spot.

Hi,

I am sorry to bother you @catmins, but I am wondering, how long it will take
until my new submissions are verified. I really want to sell most of these items,
especially the coin and the bags.

Thanks for your help, I will add more items but need to be able to sell them.

Hi there, everybody. I could use some help. I'm looking for parts for the
following robot:

https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oS7AV7S5R64/WvcPV_m8iUI/AAAAAAAAI3E/e8fCrYjUBPsgDZHe2ihv8SKicvjvcFYfACEwYBhgL/s1600/2013---LEGO-Space.jpg

The red robot. I cannot identify the part that leads from his ankle up to his
hip. It's a "straight" gray piece. Can anyone identify this piece?

Much appreciated.

Jon

Hello
I'm identifying some lego parts, but I don't find in the catalog the
p/n 92411.
This part looks like the p/n 44728 but is different by a very slight particolar
(as in the attached picture).
Can the 92411 be catalogued as 44728 or it makes difference?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm trying to use the "Same Books in Different Languages" option
to add a turkish version of an exisiting book, but cannot manage to do it. Could
you please someone with experience tell me what to do with this window below
attached picture?

The situation is, the book has it's English and several other language options
already in catalog. What I'm trying to do is adding another language which
is not in the catalog.

Thanks and best regards,

For example Part 3747a and 3747b is it correct that I understand that the full
part description of this variants I put in the comments so buyers see the old
item description. With this item I have done it. After 15 February this 2 will
be listed under 3747 if I am correct and BrickLink will do the proposed corrections?

Please don't do it
As a buyer who likes to complete sets, I want the variant to match the existing
pieces I already have in the set. If the variant is listed as a separate piece
it's easy to find a seller, if its only identified in notes in a merged piece
it will be almost impossible to shift through every listed piece to find the
variant I need.
Buyers will go elsewhere. Sellers will lose out.
This is a huge step backward for bricklink.
Please don't do it

Please don't change the site! Why wouldn't we want to differentiate and
be specific with our orders? Some of us want to know we're getting a new
piece vs used or vice versa etc etc. c'mon man! What is the reasoning behind
this nonsense decision!

I have a couple minecraft crafting table bricks and the horizontal lines on some
of them are way darker than the others. Like one has dark brown and the other
one has reddish brown. The catalog says they have reddish brown horizontal lines
so I guess there is no distinction between them?

I was hoping maybe someone knew anything about this

Hello again everyone,

My initial post on this subject earlier this month has garnered almost 700 replies,
which is right about the level of the BrickArms threads a few years ago.

A New Thread

So I'm starting a new thread with some new information, and hopefully a few
links that will help you navigate through this complex discussion topic.

Here is the original post:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1447090

Here are three Help topics:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2625
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2626
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2629

Here is a list of my replies on this subject:

https://www.bricklink.com/messageList.asp?overTP=Y&q=variants&qS=Y&msgID=&uName=admin_russell&ID=&status=&v=c&max=50

If you don't wish to read all 700 replies in the previous thread, you can
at least look through some of these for answers to most of the questions that
have been raised.

************************************

The Responses

We sent an email out to all active sellers a couple days ago and we expected
a flood of responses in the Forum. As much as it may seem to be an overwhelming
response, we do appreciate all the members who have posted and shared their feelings
about this project. Keep them coming.

So far I have seen two YouTube videos addressing this issue, and I'll post
in this new thread to respond directly (and completely) to what they are saying.

I will be answering directly several of the more detailed replies over the next
day or two in an effort to clear up any misunderstandings.

************************************

The Research

The following is an example of the some of the research that has been done to
help determine the course of action we are taking.

When it comes to Frosted Bricks, we took a look at the price guide, the inventories
that contained these special bricks, and we studied the nature of the bricks,
at least as far as we could.

What we found was that bricks listed under the normal (umbrella) entries sold
on average for over twice the price, and the volume of sales was 17 times of
bricks listed under the frosted entries. In addition, sellers listing under the
main entries didn’t have to spend the time sorting out their parts. So from a
marketplace standpoint, these frosted entries are simply an inefficiency (see
image below).

In the inventories, there was only spotty information about which sets these
bricks are in. This is likely the main reason for the lower sales volume, because
the BrickLink inventory system drives sales for vintage parts. We started adding
frosted entries to the catalog over 20 years ago, but they are only reflected
in 24 inventories to date.

When it comes to the bricks themselves, there were actually more variants than
what are currently shown on BrickLink. And we’ve never been able to settle on
a reason for these peculiar markings. Some have suggested they are simply the
same patterns one would find on solid color bricks of the same era. Whatever
they are, though, this type of variant is typically found only in sellers’ notes
and not reflected in standalone BrickLink entries.

In fact, it is a peculiar thing that these entries were only for Transparent
versions of the part. We don’t really do that on BrickLink. Normally, all the
colors are placed under one entry.

But perhaps the best reason for removing these entries is the lack of a real
use case for any of our members. For new users, these entries clutter up important
basic parts categories, and if they end up on a wanted list, they can certainly
cause problems.

For the seller who wants to fill out vintage sets, these entries do not solve
their need completely, because there are serious color matching issues with older
transparent parts. It is not “plug and play” with these variants, and truth be
told, it would be easier to obtain the necessary selection of parts by using
the main entries.

For the hard core collector looking for information, BrickLink has very little
to offer in the case of the frosted bricks. We don’t need separate entries to
add representative photos and comparison images of variants, and we were likely
to never complete the “collection” of these entries due to the large number of
different patterns.

In order to preserve what knowledge we have, we plan to release new Help pages
for certain variants covered in this project. Stay tuned.

Dear Bricklink,
It's a really bad idea to destroy our database. We need the original database
with all the part difference. The database is build over Years and your plan
wil destroy al the efforts what countles members did in in al this Years. I am
a buyer and sometimes i need a specific part. With Your plan it's almost
impossible to buy that specific part. With your simplifacation you wil destroy
years of hard labor and makes things much more difficult.
So please don't do it.
With regards
Ingo Heinen

I propose an analogy between LEGO parts and Stamps - where there is basically
the same 2 different needs, approaches and goals.

On one side Collectors, Historians POV

We've to carefully differentiate those:
Type I: without shading on the first circle to the left from number 1 (NBN).
Type II: shading on the first circle to the left from number 1 (ABN and CBN).
Type III: retouching: darker engraving in upper corners (ABN).

Price: up to huge.
Availability: complicated, up to impossible.
In forum: present and shouting
Number: hundreds to thousands?


On the other side, every day Buyers, Builders, Creators POV

Price: 68 cents.
Availability: quasi infinite.
In forum: zero
Number: tens of millions (with half a million already on BrickLink, and
millions on PAB)?


BrickLink will of course choose to support the vast majority of buyers.
Just like USPS is selling base stamps for every day usage.
Because it's what the vast majority needs.

BUT BrickLink will ALSO keep on providing it's finest Catalog on Earth to
those who need details of the History of the Brand.

Please Collectors, Historians, rebuilders of Sets from the past - consider the
whole market. And you'll still have the Catalog we all love and use.
So what?

I really and sincerely hope that helps?

Hey, I just am trying to draw to everyone's attention the update Bricklink
is rolling out on February first that will cause several types of pieces to be
merged together under specific listings. For example, slopes that have smooth
and rough sides will no longer be considered different pieces. Now, this is
a BIG PROBLEM. When you are MOCing and you need a specific texture for a, lets
say, roof, and you use the wrong texture, it stands out A LOT. I hope everyone
sees what I am getting to here. If sellers are allowed to combine those two VERY
DIFFERENT variants of pieces, I may need to do several orders to get the actual
pieces I want, and it won't be the sellers fault if they send me a mix of
TWO DISTINCT TYPES OF PIECES. I am new to Bricklink, so maybe this has happened
before, but right now, this seems like it could pose a huge problem. I am sure
the Bricklink Devs had good intentions in mind when they decided to merge these
piece variants, but what they said in their letter to the Sellers, quote, "We
consider them (the piece variants) to be relatively unimportant and cumbersome
from the viewpoint of the Bricklink Marketplace" IS NOT TRUE. Specific things
like the textured variants of pieces DO MATTER. Please spread the word and hopefully
the Bricklink Devs will listen to the community.

Hello,

Regardless of my thoughts toward losing some valuable variants in our Catalog,
I have now read the message twice, and read most of the main Forum thread, and
I still have no idea how technically this is going to work.

You are going to take two active catalog items, 3747b and 3747a for example,
choose a main Image, choose one Image for each of the color thumbnails, choose
1 Price Guide (or does this merge also), and add a new Note explaining the 2
different versions. Is an experienced Catalog Expert going to do this or someone
else? Will the deleted info be archived in case of errors?

Then, you are going to merge the two items in the Catalog.

Seller shop inventory
Seller's shop items will be merged unless they paste a specific string of
text on the entry ahead of time. If not, they will not get to choose which price
is used or any of the other lot data. They will not be given a log of exactly
what was merged or changed.

It's not as if sellers are already prone to blaming BrickLink for errors
in their inventory. Now BrickLink will be actively changing their store listings.
We have no way of testing if this going to work and no way of flagging or logging
errors created.

Set Inventories
All Set Inventories that have these items will change to just one item. Any sets
that have the parts listed as Alternates will ?? Any Match ID's affected
will ?? Links to Change Requests discussing these items will ??

Everything else
All Wanted Lists that have these items listed will have the parts merged? What
if they are in separate projects? Isn't there an issue with Wanted Lists
already that involves problems with duplicate items?

All external links to one (or both) of the item variants will break or ??

All the people who write related software will have to adjust, rewrite, debug,
and ??

To sum up:

There is a reason it took so long to Mark Items for Deletion and then actually
delete them. It's to avoid all this trouble and uncertainty.

What happens 3 months from now when a seller who's been away reopens his
shop and doesn't understand what happened? You simply cannot count on every
single member receiving, reading, and understanding the email message sent out.
Will they receive any Action Items within BrickLink to understand the changes?

I wonder how much Catalog Credit will just vanish on Feb 15th. Credit for images,
items, inventories, ... all gone.

Thanks,
~Jen

On Feb 15th some merging will occur in the database.
No matter what.

This Wednesday I (we?) received a BL message regarding the upcoming change.
With a link to a Help Page. Nice.
Until I clicked it....

If a seller wants to 'add a short line of text' for each lot affected,
sellers need to enterl more than 4000 numbers to check IF they are in their inventory.
And than manually editing the NOTE field.

This will take every seller hours of entering numbers, checking the results,
editing note-fields en checking for the edits to be correctly made.

Urgent request: can BL please provide a script or simple change page where
this actions can be (partially) automated?



Question for Admin_Russell: what happens exactly with my affected inventory entries
when nothing is changed on the sellers end?

Hi everybody,

I understand that alternate lots represent different production runs, but I recently
stumbled on a used set that has the correct amount of a part, albeit both regular
mold and alternate mold parts are featured.

Is this mix-and-match considered valid to sell the set on BrickLink or do I have
to have only parts from the regular or the alternate mold?

Thank you in advance!

The main picture is showing two sides of the same buffer but buyers claim they
were tricked by the picture into thinking they were buying a set of two buffers
per entry.
Or at the very least put a disclaimer that they are buying one buffer and the
picture is showing the variation of the part on both its sides.
While I believe the picture was well intended- it is hurting newer buyers (although
the last one making this claim had 36 feedbacks) and will potentially hurt sellers
and site credibility.
Another solution would be to only show the picture of the side of the part that
is impacted by the variation.
Thank you

Why does sw1259 (sw1287, sh739, sh731, etc) have the hair piece instead of the
helmet? The box and instructions show the character with the helmet. I think
more people who prefer to have the helmet over the hair. A good compromise would
be to have an in-set variant that lists this figure with the helmet for people
who want to buy the helmeted figure.

Why is this part listed as "42042"? The ID of 42042 (and all the Element

as "x[number]" since its ID is unknown?

*All 8 shapes of Krana share the same ID, as they were produced in the same mold,
which is how they were randomized.

I discovered a second variant of sh010. One uses dark green to outline the details
and the other uses black. Both found in separate copies of the 2012 batcave set.
I've seen more minor variants approved and I think this one is 'major'
enough for a split.

Hi,

both elephants are the same, but have a different colour AND a different number.
People find and choose one elephant and pick a non-existing colous (light/dark
gray, depending on the elephant). My suggestion would be to consolidate the elephants
into 1 single catalogue-item with two colour variants. If you found elephant
nr. 1c02 it seems now both colors come from the same set. One has to search for
the other elephant to find info on the other set, but you can't know it exists,
because there a two colours offered for sale for each elephant.

Regards,
Remko

Hello,

I'm in the middle of doing the inventory for set 21254 The Turtle Beach House.

The side of the box identifies the large turtle as a named entity but does not
show/name the three baby turtles (built on page 12 of the instructions).

Set 30432 has all the parts for the large turtle but does not have the turtle
as a counterpart assembly.

Should mineturtle01 be added to both of these inventories?

Should I submit a counterpart assembly for the baby turtle (quantity 3)?

Thanks, - Chris

It has mold number 100907. It weighs .65g and has more or less the same dimensions

I don't have the 6416359 one to compare. Could this be a new mold or an
alternate number? It does look very alike. The mold number is visible in the
crevice on the underside.

Hello everyone,

As a platform, we have decided to take a hard look at some of the mold variants
that we are currently asking you to recognize. For sellers, more variants means
extra sorting and extra work while pulling orders, plus the issues that arise
from variant misunderstandings.

For buyers, excess variants mean that it's harder to assemble a wanted list,
find stores, and ultimately obtain the parts you are looking for.

I have put together a quick Help page to outline these proposed changes:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2625

Notice the date on this is coming up quickly (Feb 1), so I'm not giving a
lot of time for discussion. I'm aiming for about 1 week of discussion and
then we'll give sellers 2 weeks to adjust the descriptions on affected items
if they wish to retain the distinctions.

I plan to construct a full FAQ page with answers to all your questions. This
will serve to inform users about what was done here in February 2024, and also
help point the catalog in the right direction in the future.

To get started, I'll list a few here:

1. This sounds like you're dumbing down the BrickLink catalog to make
it easier for new users. Is that what is going on?


Not really. There are many, many other variants we expect people to sort and
care about. These ones don't really seem to matter much, and some of them
(e.g., the minifigure heads) actually cause problems for the catalog that cannot
be corrected otherwise.

2. What if I really care about a certain variant that is going away? Can I
still buy and sell that variant?


Absolutely! You can add notes to your listings to make them as "determined"
as you wish. Buyers can still search within notes for extra details, or they
can simply observe them as they browse listings.

3. How do I know which exact variants will be merged? I only see one example
in each category.


Please ask in this thread and I can be very specific. Usually we are talking
about a handful of parts and the printed versions.

4. Has a merge like this ever been done before?

Yes, there was a precedent - the Headlight Brick with Slot:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1016584

It was marked for deletion a few years ago and was finally merged last August.

5. Are these the only parts up for consideration, or are there other variants
that will be merged as well?


This is all for now. Based on how well this goes, we may elect to remove other
entries later. However, we will keep all functional variants and important cosmetic
variants.

Hi,

Minecraft minifigure min094 is missing in the catalog. We have a continuous range
from min001 until min159. But 094 is not there

Is there a catalogue admin who knows the story? It must happened somewhere in
2021.
And can we fill up the gap somehow?

For instance with the next variant of the Iron Golem which now counts 4: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=iron%20golem#T=M

Another suggestion is to use min094 for a future variant of Steve (009) or
Alex (017), like when they appear with legs or helmets in a new colour.

Hello!

I noticed that some sets like the Daily Bugle (76178-1) list the Doc Ock figure
with the arms included, but the one from the Monster Truck set (76174-1) didn't.

Could it be at least included as an alternate to the minifigure alone? It makes
more sense to me for the figure to be offered both with and without the mechanical
arms, but the listings including these are inconsistent.

Thanks for the consideration and any feedback about the situation.

Hello!

I've submitted a new minifigure, hp466 with the correct legs on the Harry
Potter figure that comes with the book, b23hp08. I used my own copy to provide
the images. Since I can't suggest the inventory change until the new minifigure
is approved, I figured here would be the best place to provide proof that a new
minifigure listing is necessary. See the attached images.

Thanks!

Just submitted these to be added to the catalog. As far as I can tell, there's
no actual item number to reference, so I submitted the LEGO with "badgeset6"
as item number.

What do you think; did I do it wrong? Is there another, maybe better term to
use as item number?

-Thanks

The gold quite noticeable on catalogue version but odd examples are transparent.

Note in other images, over light, that the odd ones are transparent in the centre
( image 2 ) and the others ( image 3 ) appear darker around ninja symbol.

Less colour applied or variation ?

One I would have dismissed but 4

Any views ?

Anyone else have these ?

Having two 325-sets in hand, I notice that there are completely different layouted-instructions.
While one is in landscape-style, the other one has portrait-style. Maybe that
should be added to the catalogue-entry 325-3.
I have pictures of both types available but can not upload them here for whatever
reason.

Set #71043, Hogwarts Castle, is missing one stickered part.
There should be a Tan 2x2 tile with 3 windows, but instead, the 1x2 tile with
3 windows is listed as having 2 in the set.

This is inaccurate.

According to the instructions, book 2, Page 148, step 361, sticker 23 goes on
a 1 2x2 tan tile, and 1 1x2 tile.

I have added the part, as 3068bpb1100, and a picture to go with it.
Please add the part, and connect it to set 71043, and correct the part count
for part # 3069bpb1004 to 1 instead of 2.

Thank you!

Hello,
I have this slope 30 1x2x2/3 piece with a sticker. The sticker is the mirror

Also it can not be that the sticker is placed upside down because then the white
dot would be on the other side.
Please see picture below.
Is there a difference in those 2 or can i list it as 85984pb294?

I was trying to order some of these when I noticed a strange thing.
I think there is a problem identifying which variations of the brick that vendors
have for sale.
Either that or the correct brick has not been identified in the set-inventories.

3002old TC comes in 36 sets and there are 411 available to purchase.
3002 TC comes in 1 set and there are 344 available.

That one set with 3002 TC is 1469, a shell helicopter with only one 3002 TC and
yet this one set accounts for 45% of the 2 x 3 Trans-Clear Bricks on BL. This
just doesn't seem likely to me.

PS
3002 has a couple more variations but I don't think they're relevant.
bhol03 doesn't have a TC colour.
3002f1 doesn't come in any sets apparently.

I wasn't able to find this brick in the catalog and was wondering if anyone
knew what it is. It's a yellow 1 x 2 brick but instead of one of the studs
there is a hole. It came in a bin of older bricks that I'm guessing is from
the 1970's or 80's.

Hi, if any one owns the Ninjago, 71737, X-1 Ninja Charger, than could you upload
the counterparts (AKA stickered parts) to the catalog for this set?

According to the catalog, the UCS Venator (75367) contains 5371 parts. The box
clearly states 5374. Someone's going to have to do a recount/re-inventory
- if someone could just send me the set, I'll do it!

Hi,

I found a DUPLO Storage Bag 5002934 in my shelf. I try to add it to my inventory
in my shop, but the bag isn't listed either as "storage bag" nor
as set 5002934.

How can I add it?

2878 Train Wheel RC, Holder
Parts: Wheel {Black}

This part predates the RC functionality and is not exclusive to the RC train
line. It seems slightly disingenuous to have it in the title, unless the reason
is to make it easier to search. But it still feels wrong to have RC in the name.

Hi

A while back i ordered new window frames (for 2493c01) for my 8680 set using
the Bricklink inventory as reference. When i got them i was thinking to switch
the glass over from my discolored variants, however i found out that the windows
i had, has fixed glass in them. The window i have with the set is part 4347.
I also noticed that Rebrickable and brickset use this part in their inventory.

When looking in the instructions, the step where the windows are added does not
describe the glass being added to the frame, thus i think 4347 is the most corect
window here. However i cannot be sure that 2493c01 was never used also. Perhaps
the instruction was kept not describing to insert the glass, or perhaps there
are two versions of the instruction floating around?

I was hoping to get some input from the community before going ahead and requesting
an inventory change request since i'm not really sure what is the most corect
corse of action here.

Hi,

The following 2 items both carry the same sticker (comming from 2 different stickersets),
but the description of these 2 items (both as parts as in inventory) seems to
me as inconsistent - not sure how big the issue is though

- 3754pb17 is called “brick with...(...sticker)"

- BA008pb10 is called “stickered assembly” (and: “white stickered assembly”)


Kind regards,
Menno

Hi there

some questions about Promotional parts;

what's the difference between part 4066pb513 and 4066pb506? I can't see
any difference.
and what's the difference between 76371pb210 and 76371pb147? There's
also not any little difference to see..

also 76371pb176 and 76371pb110
or 4066pb552 and 4066pb509

and there are many many more entries like them...

regards

I am looking for a part in my inventory:

Brick, Round 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 2/3 Dome Top

 
Part No: 20952  Name: Brick, Round 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 2/3 Dome Top
* 
20952 Brick, Round 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 2/3 Dome Top
Parts: Brick, Round {Light Bluish Gray}

and I was wondering if this part had been renamed as I cannot seem to find it
in my Brick Round category.

Is there a way to find out a part's naming history. For example, part 6091
used to be a brick modified before it was changed to a slope curved.

Thanks,

Evan

Parts: Boat

However it does come apart very easily.

Should this have a parts list of :

30255 white x 1

Plus a new part for the hull, something like 71958pb01 red with printed fire
pattern and 327 x 1

Hi!

The "Minifigure Breathing Apparatus, Scuba Regulator and Air Tank (Undetermined
Type)" is marked for deletion in the catalog.
 
Part No: 30091  Name: Minifigure Breathing Apparatus, Scuba Regulator and Air Tank (Undetermined Type)
* 
30091 Minifigure Breathing Apparatus, Scuba Regulator and Air Tank (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Minifigure, Body Wear {Dark Bluish Gray}
Marked for Deletion

There are 2 new versoins:
"without Bar Holder":
 
Part No: 30091a  Name: Minifigure Breathing Apparatus, Scuba Regulator and Air Tank without Bar Holder
* 
30091a Minifigure Breathing Apparatus, Scuba Regulator and Air Tank without Bar Holder
Parts: Minifigure, Body Wear {White}

"with Bar Holder":
 
Part No: 30091b  Name: Minifigure Breathing Apparatus, Scuba Regulator and Air Tank with Bar Holder
* 
30091b Minifigure Breathing Apparatus, Scuba Regulator and Air Tank with Bar Holder
Parts: Minifigure, Body Wear {Light Bluish Gray}

I was able to identify 2 of the 4 I have as "without Bar Holder" (top
and right on my pictures), but what are the other 2? The slot is to narrow to
fit a regular bar, even with force.

In the pictures of bricklink the "with Bar Holder" pictures show that
the "holders" are not that big as the ones in my pictures.

Thanks!

Hello!

There is a bit of confusion in the use of the listings of the Brick Costume Assemblies,
and I'm not sure how to fix them. Here is the list of assemblies:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=37191&in=P

The list there has individual listings for each combination of arm and hand color,
and it's not clear if the intent is to have individual listings for each
combination of arm, hand, and costume (brick) color.

Three of the assembly listings, 37191c01, 37191c04, and 37191c05, have lots for
sale in color options that are not identified as Known Colors. This is strong
evidence that the sellers of these combinations do not understand the differences
in the way these items are listed and are selecting the base assembly (37191)
or one as close to what they have as possible, and then choosing a different
costume color with the arm and hand color listed that hasn't been produced.

Lego has not officially created any assembly with differently colored arms than
the costume, and it is considered an illegal building technique to remove the
arms and change that combination, but it is possible to do so.

So how can I help clean up those color selections? Is there a method to reach
out to the sellers with incorrect listings and have their listings corrected?
If that were corrected, would the alternate color details correct itself (there
is price guide information for incorrect colors on 37191c05)?

I'm hoping there's a good way to help correct this little problem, and
make it more clear to sellers in the future how the listings are broken out.

Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

Hello!

I recently submitted the set TRUCHIMA-1, along with a picture of the set.

However, when I saw that the set had been approved, I noticed that the image
I submitted had been replaced by another.

I would like to know why this was done, and if there is any way my original picture
can be restored to the set's page.

Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

It does not have dimensions in the catalog. I have several in stock. They were
factory packed folded in half (so half the long dimension). Do I enter the folded
or the unfolded length for the X dimension. Note that using the folded X dimension,
will cause the Y dimension to become the large of the two.

Good evening,

While sorting parts, I came across a Utensil Cup (Mug) 3899 that was trans-red
color.

I looked at the item with a magnifying glass and I came to the conclusion that
this was probably Megablocks of another brand that copies Lego. It looks very
similar to a true 3899 item, but the lip seems different and (of course) no Lego
marking anywhere.

However, I see that this color is referenced in the Bricklink Catalog (not as
known but in the "All" category) and that even 10 sellers offer such
items worldwide.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3899&name=Minifigure,%20Utensil%20Cup&category=%5BMinifigure,%20Utensil%5D#T=C&C=17

My opinion is that this color is not produced by Lego and therefore should be
deleted from the catalog.

Can anybody provide an expertise on my affirmation? Is there something we can
do to prove if I'm right or wrong?

Thanks a lot!

David

Hello,

I wonder does the Ninja theme belongs to the castle theme? On some sites they
treat them in the same basket, but not on bricklink, so I'm interested? In
general, the these two themes are in some point similar. I like some Ninja sets
from 2000' almost as much as Castle sets.

Does anyone have this set or photos that it could be determined if the skateboard
is stickered or printed, and then have the skateboard added to the inventory?
Or should the minifigure be deleted from the set so that the set can be flagged
as "not inventoried" so that people are aware that this set is not (otherwise
it will never show up as part of the "not inventoried" sets. (It always
irked me that this set got approved with an incomplete inventory... And it's
never been fixed to this day, probably because it never shows up in the "not
inventoried" sets.)

Under the regular parts section of this set 8097, item #3298 is listed as quantity
of 4. This part is not needed to build this set, however you do need item #4210637
quantity 6, which currently listed under alternative parts. I think this needs
to be corrected, unless I’m mistaken.

When you look at this set on BrickLink, there is a picture of the actual blister
pack. There is only one figure with the legs 970c00pb0271. All of the other
figures in the pack have Black Hips and Black Legs. However, the inventory for
the figure cas529 show this figure with the legs 970c00pb0271. This figure should
have black hips and black legs. The inventory is incorrect for this figure and
needs to be changed. I have tried to submit the change but don't know how
to fill out the form to get it to accept it. Can anyone help with getting this
change made? I would love to learn how to do this since I have found several
errors in the past as well. Thanks for any help on this. RockesGuy Brick Store.

All of my 23221 are noticeably different in length (and longer than what the
name describes). Is this a common issue?
Four of these (all except the shortest one, the ones with the brighter green
rubber bands - I don't believe those are LEGO bands) are from a used copy
of 7690. The other one is from my 2007 copy of set 7691.

Of course, it is very hard to make these not bend so much... The baseplate in
the image is 48x48. The brick separators mark the lengths when straightened outs.
This increased length has pretty significant impact on 7690, putting quite a
lot of stress on the bricks. The shortest one is just short of 33 studs long,
the longest is 40.

LEGO describes these as 252 mm (31.5 studs).

The catalog guidelines state: "Unreleased items are those for which there

I have attached proof of the existence of this set. At least one actual physical

Recently I saw a Bricklink page that had part Category changes by year. If I
remember correctly it showed the part picture along with the old Category and
the new Category. For example: it showed part 6215 as moving from Brick, Modified
to Slope, Curved. It even showed what was planned for 2024. I can't seem
to find the page again. Can someone send me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hello,

Who can say something about this Luminara without Light up?

When was this edition and why is it not listed on Bricklink?

Thanks

Volker

Any way we can get a deferent color name for the Allianz 3001 bricks? like...
"Satin Milky White" or something? Makes it difficult trying to order
Milky White bricks when you arent sure what you are going to get.
