Yep.

I tried to have this fixed almost three years ago and was rejected by the catalog
admins at that time without even an explanation.

You are exceptionally polite in your persistence.

  Hello

I got a quote request from a customer saying that the shipping was too high.
When I looked at the order it looks like the below piece is the issue.
I have shipped this part before with no issues as lettermail.
With Canada post anything thicker than 2cm must be sent as parcel which is much
more expensive.
I am trying to understand how bricklink takes the 2x2x2 and translates that to
shipping dimensions in centimetres or inches.
Also can someone help me to understand how this can be 2x2x2 when one side is
longer than it is wide.
Is one of the measurements stacked bricks?

Thanks for any help

Thank you this helps, but it doesn’t address how bricklink uses this information
as it relates to packaging limits.

BrickLink keeps a separate database for packaging dimensions not related to the
format of our catalog data. The new database was derived from a mishmash of sources
but is now updated by members posting in a certain thread here in the Forum.
You can only view the dimensions entered for the parts in your shop on the My
Inventory pages.

Hope that helps,
Jen

* 
10176-1 (Inv) Royal King's Castle
811 Parts, 12 Minifigures, 2006
Sets: Castle: Knights Kingdom I

* Change 2 Part Black {2453 Brick 1 x 1 x 5 (Undetermined Stud Type) to 2453a Brick 1 x 1 x 5 - Blocked Open Stud or Hollow Stud}
* Change 13 Part Light Bluish Gray {2453 Brick 1 x 1 x 5 (Undetermined Stud Type) to 2453a Brick 1 x 1 x 5 - Blocked Open Stud or Hollow Stud}

Comments from Submitter:
I acquired this set from its original owner in fantastic shape and still built. I am reasonably confident that these parts were not mixed with other sets, and this can be treated as a reliable source to update the inventory.

I didn't look to see who added the minifigures! (face palm)

If I would have seen it was you, I would have said "They are correct."


Awww, thank you!

Minifig No: loc041  Name: Lagravis - Heavy Armor

loc041 (Inv) Lagravis - Heavy Armor
Minifigures: LEGENDS OF CHIMA

* Delete 1 Part 11098 Pearl Gold Minifigure, Armor Breastplate with Shoulder Pads, Front Stud and 2 Back Studs
* Add 1 Part 11097 Pearl Gold Minifigure, Armor Shoulder Pads with Front Stud and 2 Back Studs

Comments from Submitter:
Wrong armor shoulder pads are listed for this figure, this can be confirmed from the instruction download from lego on page 5 of set 70010. I have this figure and can provide picture of correct setup if needed.

This has been wrong in the catalog for a long time and many sellers probably
have this listed as pictured. So it would be better to add a new minifigure and
have this one marked for deletion.

It looks like the armor shoulder pads for this minifigure were switched with
another minifigure this is pcitured with 11097 when it should have 11098. Can
you also add a new minifigure for this one?
 
Minifig No: loc042  Name: Razar - Pearl Gold Armor
* 
loc042 (Inv) Razar - Pearl Gold Armor
Minifigures: LEGENDS OF CHIMA

TLG either got the instructions wrong or got the official box and set images
wrong. The box and set images show the minifigures as they are in the catalog,
but the downloaded instructions show them reversed. My kids have this set. I
will find the hard copy instructions that I have to see if they match the downloaded
instructions. Maybe the online instructions are wrong.

Cheers,
Randy

By the way, I see that Bricklink's descriptions are a bit off and need improvement

"Purchase Confirmation: Sent to a buyer who made a purchase with Instant Checkout"

Not true, only when it is paid onsite. Otherwise it is not sent.

"Order Invoice: Sent to a buyer who you issued an invoice to"

...or sent instantly by Instant Checkout, unless the order is paid onsite.

I reported the typo and the poor grammar on that page to BrickLink for 6 months
before I gave up. Even rewrote the whole thing correctly for them. No one was
interested.

  I recently decided to add instant checkout to my store. I received my first
ever neutral feedback because I didn't include a note as requested in the
buyer's comment section. My suggestion is to add the buyer's comments
section on the sellers invoice (like it always has been on the invoice when an
invoice was requested). There is no buyer's comments section on the email
I receive notifying me that an order has been placed. In this instance, this
caused an unpleasant experience for the buyer.

Please excuse my ignorance, but where are comments left during Instant Checkout
viewable to sellers? I am wary of this system still and info like this makes
me even more uncertain.

thanks!

  As part of the larger roadmap project of updating catalog guidelines, we anticipate
making this page official on or before June 1st, 2020:

This morning I had two different people ask via PM that we delay implementing
these new definitions for item types and categories so that we could discuss
them further.

I see three paths we could take from here:

1. Make these official in one week from today, but not move anything yet.
Instead, only move things as part of projects on the roadmap.

2. Make these official and immediately begin allowing limited movements
of item types and categories as necessary.

3. Delay making these definitions official.

My thought is that these definitions will not be perfect. They must be field-tested
and will change over time as flaws are discovered. They have been delayed for
20 years and I'm not overly thrilled about further delays.

But I also understand that the last few months have been an exceptionally busy
time for sellers, so many sellers simply haven't had time to consider or
comment on the definitions.

So my preference is for the first option from the list above. What's yours?

Thanks for being so responsive about this issue! I am comfortable with Option
1 as it keeps things moving forward and respects the work that has already been
done. And, I would be very relieved to know that parts won't be moving around
yet without further time (and maybe discussion.)

Keep up the great work,
Jen

I realize that this doesn't cover all the points in your suggestion but here
is the most recent response from Admin about this issue:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1197156

It is quite a bit more than we have received in the recent past, so I am hopeful
that more positive and constructive changes are on the way. I do also hope they
develop a communication system to let us know of upcoming changes.

Take care,

  I don't know the proper place to post this but I have a question about order
received settings.

I see 12 ways to sort items but not really any that sort by item number. I would
like
Condition - Category - Item Number - Color Name

Do most sellers sort by category than number? It seems like that makes most
sense. It would be nice then, if orders could be sorted that same way.

Thanks

Sorting by item number is a difficult issue with this site. They are a combination
of letters and numbers and won't give you consistent results.

  Hi all,

I know I definitely added some particular items to my inventory some days ago
but now they seem to be missing?! Is it possible that if someone adds them to
their cart they are removed from my inventory even if they didn't buy them?
and is there any way to check this?

Kind regards

Bar

No, there is no way to check your inventory history. But you can look in your
stockrooms. Aso, the most common errors occur I believe when updating items on
the My Inventory pages, hitting Submit Changes and then having the site time
out on your request. (Or on the final page of the Add Items dialog.) Check and
double check your work.

Good luck,
Jen

  Hi,

The reason why 3830c01 Hinge Brick 1 x 4 Swivel is marked for deletion is not
justified IMHO ("it sets a precedent for adding dozens of unnecessary combinations
of hinges").

I don't think anyone has the intention to create colour-combinations for
these two parts combined.

Most sellers just want to sell the two parts together to avoid unequal (worthless)
quantities of the underlying parts.

So can this decision be undone please so that new items can be listed?

Best regards,
Kris - Autour des Briques

The no precedent excuse does not hold water. There is a whole gamut of 3937 assemblies
listed in the catalog. Like Stormchaser stated and is trying to overcome: things
happen here on the whim of a single Admin. This particular case is an example
of an illogical decision.

IC did not use the USPS API last time I checked. I think most sellers just decided

Jen

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!

  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

Also by the way I really wanted it as well for the minifigures and someone told
me it was already in the catalog. I never realized the figs could be available
for sale but the parts weren’t. I’m excited to see the set. Thanks again!

No bounty needed! It gave me an excuse for a lovely set to build to take my mind

All finished! The admins approved in less than 12 hours by the way.

Good luck with the part out! There are lots of great parts in this set.

You can achieve much the same thing by searching -sticker in the decorated category.

  that one of the requirements would be to make sure inventories are always done.

But anyways all I’m asking for is if someone had time and wanted $20 to do it
then great. If no one wants to do it then I would offer 30$ etc. That being said
even if you do it and I pay you there is no guarantee the admin staff will even
approve it. That’s just the risk I have to take.

?? There is no risk whatsoever. Admin approve all set inventories that are correct.
And they help submitters to make an inventory correct. I am not sure where you
are coming from in all this. Give me a couple days to complete the inventory
and you will see that the system works just fine.

I figured by now it would be pretty instant for inventories to get listed with
lego now owning this site. I’m hoping this site isn’t still using volunteers
to do inventory

I wondering what your thought process is on this subject. What does the recent
acquisition have to do with the speed at which inventories are completed on BrickLink?

My thought process is that the Lego Group owns bricklink and could potentially
instantly upload all inventories of sets that are released. You from what I understand
are now employed by Lego so I assume you would know more about what the capabilities
are.

But maybe it’s just going to take some cash to fix the situation. Maybe I need
to offer 40$ or 100$ for someone to inventory the set. You can call it a side
job or a bounty or something along those lines. I had thought that the Lego group
would have helped in this area but I guess inventories still rely on volunteers.
I really have no clue but I’m willing to pay someone to do it if someone wants
to make some cash.

Well I would obviously see what’s the lowest price I can get it done for. Hopefully
20$ or 40$. Even still I realize that I would have to wait for an admin to approve
it. I’m just trying to help myself and the community. I’m
Not looking for a debate or argument

Sorry you feel so negative about all this. Our system works with volunteers and
the LEGO group could not provide all the necessary info for a good inventory.
Just look at the differences between our inventories and Brickset's if you
need some examples. No pattern names, no minifigs, no part variations, no sticker
sheets, no extras. Anyway, you posted that you needed an inventory and someone
offered to do it. How bad can things be?

Take care,
Jen

Sure! I'll play along...

I am not convinced that 90460 is really a new version of 6131.

 
Part No: 90460  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Hat, Wizard / Witch, Slightly Textured
* 
90460 Minifigure, Headgear Hat, Wizard / Witch, Slightly Textured
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear
 
Part No: 6131  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Hat, Wizard / Witch
* 
6131 Minifigure, Headgear Hat, Wizard / Witch
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear

They look the same and LEGO uses the same thumbnail image for both. The small
image in Dark Green that I submitted for 90460 was back in the days before I
knew what I was doing. I cannot confirm the part number or what set it was from.
(I guess we all start somewhere!)

Anyway, I would like to see convincing side by side proof that they are significantly
different even if they have different mold numbers. I have not found any molded
with 90460. My Witch from Series 2 has been played with so I cannot confirm it
there either.

I am open to hearing any ideas or missing information about this!
Thanks,
Jen

  Hello,

I was wondering if a feature or timer, to see whether a BrickLink
member is active or has been active (like on FB messenger or WhatsApp), would
be a great idea.

The reason why I'm wondering:
I'm sure there are members who logs in daily to see if another
member has reacted to their order('s invoice)/message, and are nervously
waiting until he/she/they react(s).

It will also be handy to see if a member (who placed an order on your store)
is active on BL and isn't responding to your multiple messages (or just ignoring),
and easier to decide to cancel an order.

For example (my example):
There is a member (USA) who has placed an order on my store (Belgium) a few days
ago. I instantly filled in and sent the invoice to serve him and be able to send
the parcel (after payment) as quickly as possible. But until now, two days later,
he hasn't read the message nor has paid for the order. Now I'm just wondering
if he was active or not lately... cause the hole situation is making me nervous.
I know I should be patient... but I find it kind of weird he responded very quickly
to my last call for buying, and afterwards not responding anymore.

So if you recognize yourself in such a situation, maybe vote 'YES' and
perhaps selling on BL will be more pleasant and more serious. I'm sure there
is a lot of members thinking this way, isn't it?

Kindly greetings,

Yapke

Yes, we used to have the ability to see when a buyer had last logged on. This
feature was just removed last month due to 'privacy' issues. It's
unfortunate as it was a valuable tool for sellers. Hopefully, they find a way
to restore it soon.

Another vote here for Azul and Wingspan. We also play a lot of Scythe, Terraforming

Carcassone, Agricola, and Belfort are my all time favorites. I can't play

Any possibility we could get a "break multipacks into parts" option on the part

and is very useful for things like Advent calendars.

That would be ideal but would require actual programming to put into place. Any
programmers work at this website?? Oh, never mind.

The printed parts list is the only thing that matters. It is a widespread misunderstanding

the set according to the instructions.

Wow, this is a pretty bold incorrect assertion. I was an inventory admin for
three years. The building instructions are the ultimate source for accurate inventories.
Not every set follows every rule, but that is where everything starts.

Like I said before, the system *as it is* handles the overwhelming majority of
figures with absolutely no problems (I would put it at greater than 95% for sure).
I don't see why we need to tear down the entire structure and begin from
scratch on creating a system that MAY include 100% of figures when the *massive*
amount of work required for this from a *volunteer* team would far outweigh any
added benefits of making the last few percentage points of figures fit into said
system. The math just does not make sense.

Cheers,

I am totally with you here Randy. Our system isn't perfect, but it is stable,
and LEGO makes constant changes so not everything fits exactly. Of course there
is always room for improvement, but system-wide changes are not necessarily needed
to correct small historical inconsistencies. It is very disruptive for sellers
to have listings, categories, and inventories updated.

Just my two cents as a seller and contributor. Thanks to all who help maintain
and improve the unique resource we have here!

I understand why people get discourage by adding stuff.

Instructions to add are done really in general and find nothing to help.


I'm giving up .

That's too bad. The catalog Add or Change pages are very specific out of
necessity. If you are trying to reserve an item, you are already to the inventory
section. All you need to do to add a new minifig is go to the Catalog Add or
Change tab and then click Add Item: -Minifig. Then, it gets much more complicated!
People here will answer questions so don't struggle with any one step too
long.

Good luck,

Sorry, but I must say that I take offense at this statement. You are passing
judgement on the previous admins and their reasons for leaving the site. You
are implying that the 'correct' attitude would be to maintain one's
dedication to a site even after you may have had a bad experience.
You don't know how they were treated by the management and members of this

Adding as an alternate but the original inventory should probably be reconfirmed.

  My point was that if you categorize it as a bushing, you don't need to worry

Axle Bush" and

18654 Technic, Liftarm Thick 1 x 1 (Spacer)

to "Technic Pin Bush" and problem solved. No need to worry about the length at
all. Like I said, it doesn't and can't connect pins or axles at all,
so it is definitely *not* a "Technic, Pin Connector". And that's a fact.


I submitted changes along this train of thought long ago but they were not approved.
It is a 1x1 Liftarm in actuality but functions only as a bushing. I support moving
it to a more appropriate category.

  Hi, i'm trying to inventory a minifig (sc074) but the inventory page only

Also can somone breakdown the torso numbering convention as well?


Standard torsos all start with:

973 (base part number used here on BrickLink)
pb (abbreviation for a part with a decoration)
xxxx (current number available)
c (abbreviation for a part that is an assembly)
01 (current number available for this assembly)

So, a completely new torso will be: 973pbxxxxc01

To find the next available number, do a Catalog (NOT All Items) search for 973pb*
then sort by Date, Order: Down

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&q=973pb%2A&catLike=W&sortBy=I&sortAsc=D&itemBrand=1000&v=1

Looks like 3472 was just used. I checked the Approval Pending Overview and 3473
and 3474 are Pending, so list yours as: 973pb3475c01

Jen

It looks like you already submitted the inventory with just the legs. That is
okay. You can still edit your Pending inventory. Click Market, Add or Change,
New Inventories. That should take you to a page where you can edit.

There is no 4282 (2x16 plate) extra item. I just opened a new set; in addition, this kind of item is (almost?) never present as an extra in sets of this size.

Hello,
I am sure the admins will repost their policy about Extras for you. However,
I will just quickly let you know that extras vary by region and that it is very
common to find a large part such as this as an extra in a small set in the US
market. Any items that come loose in the box frequently include an extra.

I would like to go back to the beginning of this thread point out that I was
just trying to add information where there was confusion, that I do not use or
have a working knowledge of the Instant Checkout system nor am I defending it,
that my knowledge is limited to the Catalog only (which I know a great deal about,)
and that I am sorry for causing any trouble.

Good luck all at working out these issues!

No, that doesn't help at all. Why can't sellers have an option to search
their inventory for items without dimensions so we can add our own? Unfortunately
there are a lot of items in the catalogue without dimensions that have been set
by default as weight bound rather than volume bound that can't (In Australia
at least) be sent as a large letter as they will exceed the 20mm maximum thickness.
This wasn't as big an issue in the past, but now with instant checkout it
is. Why should it matter if an item does or doesn't fit within the normal
stud/brick height system? Surely the main purpose of dimensions is for calculating
postage costs?
It's not that difficult to pull out a ruler or tape measure and measure
something. I'm happy to do it myself to my own inventory, just give me the
option to search for items that don't have catalogue dimensions like we can
for items without weight.

First, I didn't make this system and I would certainly NEVER defend it.
I was just trying to explain some the details.

Second, you can absolutely look up parts missing shipping dimensions in your
inventory. I don't use Instant Checkout, but I believe there is a checkbox
for Instant Checkout Unavailable on your My Inventory page.
Your original post seemed to be asking about item dimensions which are not the
same thing.

  This is one of the incongruities of BrickLink. Dimensions are measured in studs
(system or duplo) in the Catalog, but the override fields below a lot entry are
in millimeters.

For example, a Duplo Brick 2600 shows on the catalog page as "Size: 2 x 6 x 1
in studs", but underneath a listed lot it is …

DimX(mm): 96mm
DimY(mm): 23.6mm
DimZ: (mm) 32mm
(and yes, the semi-colon is used inconsistently there)

I do not wish that we entered by studs for manual overrides, but it's clear
to me that the system is converting from one to another for the benefit of IC.
It's also clear that you can override any part to any set of dimensions if
you wanted to.

Nita Rae

The incongruity exists because BL has not yet decided to implement the newer
shipping data within the existing catalog structure and database.

Each part has a data field in the catalog for Item Dimensions (listed on each
catalog page as Size.) This is measured approximately in studs / brick height.
The data is supplied by members and is maintained by the Catalog Admin though
the forms on the Add or Change tab.

The newer shipping dimensions data was put in place along with Instant Checkout.
This data is only in mm. The data is not visible except on the My Inventory and
Order Detail pages. The data is maintained by the staff at BrickLink and is submitted
by members on a thread here in the Forum. I believe they originally calculated
many of their measurements from the catalog Item Dimensions data. They have not
maintained consistency in which measurements are X, Y, or Z, or how precise measurements
must be. However, you can change the data for each part in your own shop from
your Inventory detail page.

Hope that helps,
Jen

  Can we please have an option to search our inventory for items without dimensions
in the catalogue? There is already an option to search for items without a catalogue
weight or items that won't work with instant checkout, but it won't help
with finding items that are set as weight bound by default with no dimensions
(Curved train track, some rollercoaster track) which are potentially too big
to send in a letter.

Prohibiting new sets from being inventoried without all the parts having weights
and dimensions would be a big help too, providing users don't add arbitrary
values which seems to be the case for 99% of instruction books at the moment.

There are more than 20,000 items in the catalog without dimensions. Catalog dimensions
are only added when the item fits within the normal stud/brick height system.

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=3&itemDim=0

1x1 brick: dimensions are 1x1x1 in studs
minifig torso: ?

If it can't be reasonably measured in studs vs brick height, a part will
have no data at all.

Hope that helps,
Jen

This set doesn't contain extra 2412b in flat silver. I parted out 100 copies incl. extras and I find out, that I am 100 pieces of this part short now.

It is unfortunate you were caught short of these parts. I have heard this argument
so many times that it is indeed frustrating! However, the part out process has
a 'This part may or may not appear in your set' warning on every single
extra line item. Not sure why sellers would ignore this kind of warning?

Best of luck,

Could the package weight be different depending on country? (an inventory is

There is absolutely a 10-25% difference in the weight of most sets between the
North American and worldwide markets. The difference is the weight of the paper
for the box and instructions and also the different paper size for the instructions.
I kept data on this for years and compared hundreds of sets. A significant portion
of the sets, boxes, and instructions on BrickLink would need to have two separate
weights in order to be accurate for everyone.

You can always set your own weight for items listed in your shop.

Hope that helps!

I believe that if this were the case, there would be many, many more nearly similar
parts in our catalog.

Sellers have to be able to identify which part they have in hand with no more
then the text and image for reference. There needs to be some detail that isn't
subjective.

While you are waiting for this suggestion, I recommend adding:

Hello,

Here are my initial thoughts on this subject. There are several reasons that
I like the current system of using set numbers on minifigs.

1) I think a minifig that only appears in one set should have a set number. I
would be willing to go as high as 3 set numbers in the Name before I feel it
would be annoying. It is useful for searches and anything useful should not be
easily discarded.

2) When a new minifig is added to the catalog and before the set it appears in
is inventoried and approved, the only way you can find it is with its name or
the set number in the title. It would not yet have the link for 'Item Appears
In.' This is the most important reason to keep the number.

3) Brickset links to our minifigs in searches, but only if the set number is
in the Name description:

https://brickset.com/search?query=40108&scope=All
https://brickset.com/minifigs/twn215/balloon-vendor-(40108)

Nice to know the only listing to buy this minifig is on BrickLink! That's
good (free) advertising.

I do also think that adding some more descriptors would be nice on some figs.

I'm not suggesting this is currently a problem, but it does pose issues when
one comes to implementing features such as Jen suggests.

You keep coming back to and picking apart this idea? Please consider:

1) This idea has been asked for from the original BrickLink session in Seattle
more years ago then I would like to count up.

2) It would be a convenience to many users (and especially newbies) to be able
to further constrain their search results. "I am tying to find something, but
there are too many stickered parts in the way" has been stated numerous times
in the Forum over the years.

3) I do not believe that it would be complicated, difficult to implement, or
require touching the database. Each checkbox would simply add the necessary text
string '-pattern' '-sticker' to the search parameters. I have
spoken to people more knowledgeable than me who have assured me this is a real
thing.

4) It could appear within the search bar at the top of any catalog search results
page. One checkbox to Hide Decorated parts. One checkbox to Hide Stickers. The
new page designs are already likely wide enough to accommodate this. Try it searching
for 'tile 1x6' and then 'tile 1x6 -sticker' to get a feel for
how it might function when someone is looking for a part. Then, try 'legs
hips' and 'legs hips -pattern'

5) There would be less pressure on the admins to split some categories if these
options were easily available to everyone. Splits are still needed and necessary,
but I will restate that this would simply alleviate some of the pressure to do
so.

I admit that I do not really understand where you are coming from with these
last few posts discussing my little afterthought suggestion. It is not feeling
like a discussion much from my end so I am going to say thanks now for adding
your comments and that this is the last I have to say on the matter. I look forward
to this discussion heading back toward catalog issues and not coding for the
site which BL is not currently considering.

Take care!
Jen

  A precision: As Jennifer said, the years for the sets are the years the sets

Ah ok, that explains it. Still I doubt that the search for base plates is very
straightforward or accessible. Why so complicated?

It is simply the data that we have. We know when sets are released, not when
LEGO stops making/selling/distributing them.
And I understand that the catalog system does seem complicated at first, but
it is really a fantastic resource once you get used to it. People here are always
happy to try and answer any questions you have about it!

  I find it hard to see through. E.g., the 48x48 plates are listed as part 4186,
but it says: Years Released: 1980 - 2016. If I'm looking for sets, for example,
the 10701 appears, which has been sold since 2015 and still is according to Lego
online store.

So the listing 4186 is incorrect in saying that there is no current 48x48 baseplate.


The Years Released data for parts and sets only refers to the year they were
FIRST released, not all the years they were produced and available in stores.

The old Death Star 10188 only has 2008 as its Year, even though it was produced
for many years after that.

Is that what you are asking?

Ok, the brain is moving a bit slow today.

One checkbox for Hide Decorated (anything with the word Pattern)

I am not a coder, but I can't believe this is not possible with a very easy

Sure it is convenient! (But also easily achieved with a -pattern search??)

I don't know about "easily". Possibly "mostly". Only if the word "pattern"
is consistently used throughout the category in reference to those legs with
printing.

Yes, it very much is. The word pattern is used extensively for any part that
is not a solid color. Most everything with 'pb' in the number is going
to have that keyword.

  And this raises the same issue as the mini doll legs being molded or
patterned...some minifig legs are dual-color molded and not otherwise decorated.
I don't know offhand if there are also dual color molded leg assemblies with
printing. Wonder Woman maybe?


Right now molded and patterned are the same thing. There are lots and lots of
standard minifig legs with two color plastics and printing. Some are in here:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?searchMethod=searchBoth&q=legs+boots+pattern&itemBrand=1000&catType=&itemYear=&catID=&catLike=W
  
  There should be a check box on every catalog search page to 'Hide Decorated Parts.'
Ta dah! Problem solved.

I imagine Jen is attempting some humor here, but from a practical standpoint
the database isn't structured such that it would be feasible to implement
in this fashion.

Adding individual decorated hips and legs.


I think the legs are pretty much broken once they've come apart.

  

Changing titles of certain dual-sided heads to reflect this fact and splitting
heads into single-side print and dual-side print categories.


Disagree. Dual-sided is not the same as printed front and back. Dual-sided means
there are two faces to choose from. Printed front and back means there are also
details printed on the back. To call one of these Dual is inaccurate. It is not
meant to be put on the minifig backwards.
I think Dual-sides should be left alone and any head with back printing get a
mention of it is the Name if possible. Most images already show this.
  

Reorganizing/renumbering certain mini doll legs to reflect a change in production
methods.



This would help with the difference between

which has Tan printed shoes on Dark Blue plastic (despite it's

[p=92253c00pb05] which is molded with Dark Blue and Tan plastic.

https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=175562&nID=851127

However, you are opening up a nice can of worms here! Are you going to start
differentiating between printed patterns and molded patterns all over the catalog
or just here?? I do not envy you this task.

Please clarify what you're saying here. What exactly would mix up your sorting

I don't want to speak for novabrick, but it would mess up my sorting system
if the number where changed. If I had this minifig in a bag marked 'gen002'
and then got an order for minifig: 'cas999.' I would be looking for the
wrong item number to fill my order. That's why some of us are wary of changes
to part numbers, categories etc. Unless we regularly check our stock against
the Change Log, we only find out about things when an order is placed and we
go hunting for a part. It is understandable since the Catalog is a living breathing
thing, but it does cost some time. I need a little note or something to remind
myself:

Don't Look Twice, Check the Change Log First!

Hope that helps!

I assume that it should include flames, water, lightning (and I would say power

totally see new lightning and fire flashes being released the coming years. They
risk either crowding the (Other) category if they do not look "wavy" enough,
or making the "wave" category something really unclear. I see lightning bolts
are already described as "wave", I would not expect that. But I really do see
it makes sense to group these kinds of things together. But I'd prefer a
different name... something like "effects" or something in that direction...

I like the idea of Energy Effects. Blasts, bolts, waves and flames (and whatever
else LEGO thinks up) could all fit nicely. Kind of.

I don't know if it is a big enough project for the Roadmap, but I would like
to see the names for the rubber bands cleaned up a bit. The 'Approx'
measurements are a bit off and the actual mm measurements from Lego would be
more useful I believe. I can't find the old post where I wrote it all up
originally, but here is the image I created to illustrate the issue:

Randyf might also be a good resource for any info needed for this project.

Thanks as always,
Jen

In Catalog, calsbricks writes:

  Okay - our fist suggestions:

1. Get the dimensions field added to the catalogue page display as well as in
stores.
2. Introduce a level above the categories for the purposes of reporting and searching
e.g. Bricks would cover all sub categories of bricks e.g. modified, decorated
round etc. Without the catalogue it is unlikely Bricklink would still be here.

Just those two thoughts will take development time and careful planning and I
am sure those that are more heavily invoiced with the catalogue and inventory
updates will have tons more they wish to see.

Good luck getting any of that done - a roadmap is an interesting start and welcome
but it has to fill out with actions rather than just remaining a blueprint (as
the other one has done).

I would just like to quickly point out that the Catalog admins don't have
the ability to make developmental changes to the site. It won't be their
fault if your suggestions can't be implemented in a timely way. This road
map contains projects and ideas that don't require the BL office to facilitate.

Good ideas though!
Jen

Comments from Submitter:
I dont know if I did this right or not. But I think the comic con unikitties should have the full list of parts without having to go into the inventory of each minifigure. The other face plate + eyebrows is already on the inventory page. Dont know what the issue with no image for her tail is. I have the proper item id and presumed color code down.

And what of the 30 or so other Unikitty figs in the catalog?
