Hi,

When I check my shipping countries USA is in allowed countries.
Can you please advise where to check this elsewhere and how to unblock this?
I have this in settings
I ship to 216 countries (99% of buyers).
Non shipping countries are only Myanmar, Sudan.
Thank you for your tips!

If you don't have onsite payment method, you won't be able to ship to
most of the USA. BL requires this to collect sales tax.

This exists because it was sold this way. Same for the others that are mentioned
below that have appeared in sets as figs built that way. I get the idea of having
all different monochrome color figs available, but then where do you limit the
creation of them. Does it mean, you could only have figs if all the parts are
available to create it. If someone "cleans" a part to remove the print and create
a new monochrome, they technically have the part, but it's not original by
any means. The current catalog doesn't limit anyone from buying or creating
them, but I could see the gap if someone is looking to purchase one. It's
a balance that I'm glad I don't have to manage.

Proposal for extension of the catalog.

I think there is a very big market for monochrome minifigures. So far, these
are considered custom items.
I would like to suggest establishing a separate category for monochrome minifigures
in the "standard version" of all colors.

For example "Minifigure Monochrome - white".

I look forward to your estimation and feedback

I think with the increase in wiping torsos and parts to make monochrome figures
adding monochrome figures to the catalog would be a bad idea.

On top of this, I'm pretty sure the main objective behind the catalog is
that it is a representation of the parts that are officially sold by Lego. While
they do sell parts to make monochrome minifigures, they are not sold as such,
hence why they are not listed in the standard catalog and require custom listings.
If they were to do this, it could open a can of worms for other requests.

I have a 30375 that isn't quite lime, or isn't in the range of shades
I would normally associate with lime. Here it is with x118 that I have verified
(as far as I am able, by comparing it with other pieces) as lime. Is this just
a normal color variation? The part in question doesn't seem to come in any
other greenish colors. Looking at the color guide online it seems to resemble
"neon green" which I'm not sure is an actual color:

From the image, it looks like it's been played with so is there a change
that it's just worn or sunbleached? I would still call it lime, but just
"old" and used from a color perspective.

This is not a big deal for me personally as I am not currently selling here,
so I can plan it when I want.. but... really?!

The catalog changes are scheduled for April 1. That's only 2 weeks away.
I noticed that this is a DRAMATIC catalog update that will throw the entire store
upside down. Definitely won't be able to take my entire 1.2 million parts
store apart and piece it back together just casually within these next two weeks
between sorting orders. Especially moving all the wedges will be be fun puzzle.

Not gonna object against any changes, they seem alright to me. Except that there's
one change clearly missing from that list: Moving the 2x2 corner brick to Brick,
Modified.. (since plate and tile are there)

I hope this really was THE update everyone was waiting for, and now we're
satisfied..

The list you see is of the PROPOSED changes, not SCHEDULED changes. There are
only six items on the list so far that can officially be considered approved
by admin, and those are the six examples listed in the Catalog Newsletter which
went out yesterday.

Oh, whoa, thanks Russell, that's an important addition here. That's not
the way I read it at all, but now I see.

Does this mean the other proposed changes are going to trickle through at random
moments later on, or will they be implemented in one go with the next edition
in October?

No, it means a decision on those items has not been made yet. If something is
rejected, it doesn't mean it can't happen at another time, or that it
will happen at another time. But the bigger question is more about how much of
this moving around the community can accept in a given period of time.

Regular updates at specific times seems to be the path forward with these types
of changes. That way, there is a reference point people can look back on and
make adjustments.

Incremental updates are definitely a better way to go that a dump and run. With
a system like this that is "owned" by the parent company but was not previously
managed as such, there will always be fluidity in the system. Managing these
expectations and keeping everyone (mostly) happy is a balance that you deserve
immense credit for.

Interesting. I'd prefer the other way - just make all the changes they feel
are necessary now in one go, then have stability for existing parts for a couple
of years.

There is a balance though that is needed when you are performing maintenance
of this type though:

A- All updates at a single time (relative).
- requires a lot of prep, management, organization, community input and alignment
- takes a long amount of time and typically would continue to incur questioning
from the community of lake of response, delays and where, when, how long

B- Incremental updates by section, category or other option
- Still allows community input but applies focus
- Shows work and effort which usually gets positive response from community
that their voice is being heard and shows progress
- Allows for more focused efforts to get it right the first time and breads
standards for implementation in the future

While an all for one option is valid, in this communities case, I feel that the
sheer amount of change and the community influences don't allow for it.
Just my opinion.

I don't spend much time search the catalog for instructions, so I'm more
curious than anything. Are you saying you are seeing instructions that are torn

I agree with a previous poster that this would be additional programming that
probably only servers a small purpose and personally if I was looking for instructions
that I couldn't get online and they were "incomplete" or had a note that
they were missing pages, I wouldn't purchase them in the first place so this
feels like a waste of effort personally.

Hello everyone,
I've created a mosaic project tha took me quite a long time to figure out,
and I find myself in a pickle having it based on the bricklink color guide. I
thought light grey and light bluish grey were 2 different colors, and bought
them accordingly from separate sellers.
As no one on the site seemed to have light grey in stock, I went to e.bay and
bought quite a big lot of it. Only to find out that it was in fact the same color
as what I thought was light bluish grey.
As I seem to have understood reading through the forum they are in fact the same
thing, as light grey was an old color now completely replaced by what bricklink
calls "bluish".
First of all, what the hell.
Second of all, now I can no longer finish the project, as I really need an intermediate
color between light (bluish) and Dark (bluish) grey.
Is there such a color?

Your original assumption is correct, they are in fact two different colors.
The problem that you might run into on bulk seller sites is that they might not
care. Finding bulk lots of Light gray is a difficult task as it gets mixed in
or seller just don't care. It can be a little difficult to tell the color
difference, but when you have them in your hand it's obvious (at least to
me). There is a slight bluish hue to the newer color and the older color tends
to be more dull from age.

To your point, I do still consider myself a newbie. While I joined almost a

is a learning curve for everyone. If you are getting into the hobby or shopping

have it's gotcha points. While these two colors may be the ones in question
now, the point of what to call them still would require significant work on both
maintenance and seller to adjust. Is there really that much of a need or more
of a convenience?

And speaking of numbers, I'm thinking the first step in harmonization would
be to replace the BrickLink color numbers with official LEGO numbers. What do
people think of THAT idea. When we speak to internal folks, they tend to use
the numbers instead of the names, so there is value in those numbers.

Would that move the giant modulex gap out of my color chart?

Well, in a sense it would because LEGO didn’t always give different numbers for
Modulex colours when they were the same as already existing colours (a colour
is a colour, Modulex or not)… but they also used the same numbers for different
colours (e.g. 3 is “normal” Light Yellow AND Modulex Black).

http://www.ryanhowerter.net/colors.php

Does Lego use every number sequentially?

It seems LEGO used numbers sequentially as they were needed but there are unexplained
holes (no 51-79, no 92-99, etc.) and what I think are “never used colours” or
“not used yet colours” (e.g. 361 & 365, missing opal colours?).

Also that doesn’t address the many-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many relations
between BL and LEGO colours.

And, finally, it would ruin a tonload of files that use BL’s numbering. Wanted
Lists and Inventories that use the BL numbers but also all the compatibility
databases out there.

So I’d say: not a good idea.

Just to piggy back off of this, if you switch the ids in the back end, would
that require everyone that uses the API to upload parts to modify all that tools,
calls and what have you? I'm pretty sure that all that hash mapping in the
back end uses the id numbers currently to specify the color so this would be
a hard impact on users adding parts.

At what interval does something become "old"?

At the point it just becomes inherently obvious that Lego has moved away from
the production of a main shade of a colour in prefernce for a new shade of colour.
Brow along with Light and dark gey I think everyone would consider old colours
that have fallen out of favour by the Lego Group.
It does'nt mean I think an obscure colour that Lego has'nt release for
a few years should also be considered old/discontinued but maybe the use of the
term 'Classic' to get around these concerns? though I prefer to reference
them 'old' myself

Point taken.

I agree with your point that they could easily be a new gray down the road at some point,

To be honest I think any new shade of grey that Lego create will only be to accompany
the exisitng Light/Dark grey rather than to replace them hence why I feel these
greys will remain the current staple greys for many years to come hence whi I
feel they deserve the proper accurate title of Light/Dark grey.

but is the fact that there are two and one is more "bluish" really an issue, or just because it's a longer name?

So if we were to rename the existing LG and LBG (in the future), how do you work
the compliment colors for these that were create for a short time of Very Light
Gray and Very Light Bluish Gray? If we are to stay constant, do we then rename
these as well to Very "Classic or Old" Gray?

Okay by I think your side stepping away from my main point which is not so much

Light/Dark Bluish grey?
That said I do still see more of both grey and blue in Sand Blue whereas for
the other colours I only really see Light and Dark grey

I remember when I first joined this site looking for the Stone greys I just thought
oh wait they must just be called Light/Dark grey, no wait Blusih grey?? What

It will be known to many that I’ve always favoured the idea of using official
Lego colour names not because I like them better or think they describe the
colours better (Many are very odd choices!) but simply because it creates less
uncertainty about what I’m selling and what the customer thinks they are buying
however I’ve made that argument already and now’s probably the time to accept
that Bricklink colour names are unlikely to match that of the Lego group!

However one thing that has always jarred me somewhat is the use of the term ‘Bluish’
to describe the greys when I’m sure if it was’nt for the need to fit around the
older existing greys already in the catalog both would have no doubt just been
given the simple description Dark/Light Grey instead of Dark/Light Bluish Grey?

The thing is the way I see it Bricklink uses its own colour names for three main
reasons:-

A) Lego never provided a colour name for them to use (at least not in the early
days!)

B) They wanted their colour names to better describe and match the actual shade
of colour!

C) They wanted their colour names to be short and to the point!

However when it comes to those last two points colours like ‘Dark Bluish Grey’
and ‘Light Bluish Grey’ both fail to meet that ideal objective compared to most
of the other colour names that have been created by Bricklink. Both descriptions
are lengthy and somewhat misleading? If anything I see more ‘Bluish Grey’ in
a colour like Sand blue than either of these two greys and when all said and
done they are basically just Light and Dark Grey?

So what does it matter and what to do?

Well because they are both what I would call very common CORE central colours
in Legos colour palette it stands to reason that we should perhaps think about
giving them the most suitably descriptive name for them (Light and Dark grey?)
after all that is what any newbie or anyone else for that matter would define
them as?

Both of these colours are ‘very current’ where as the discontinued greys are
not so current and therefore probably don’t warrant the need for the best descriptive
name for them any longer? In fact if we were to rename the existing Light and
Dark Grey as ‘Old Light Grey’ or ‘Classic Light Grey’ I think this would also
be very helpful to newbies when they are confronted with so many different shades
of grey?

I would also consider using the ‘Old/Classic’ tag for some other discontinued
colours too like Brown i.e ‘Old Brown’ I have less problem with Reddish brown
remaining as that is at least what Lego themselves call it but ‘bluish’ is a
made up bricklink term that has little relevance to the actual colour nor does
Lego use the term? Lego may have added more blue to the actual colour mix than
the old greys but in appearance they are simply intended to be a Light and Dark
Grey in a new and current form hence I feel we should refer to them as such?

Also wherever we use the term ‘Very Light’ can I suggest using the term ‘Pale’.
i.e ‘Pale Grey’ instead of ‘Very Light Bluish Grey’ as shorter names are much
easier for people to read off the site and to label/Inventory their stocks even
if that does mean some initial disruption?

Lastly shouldn’t we at least try and mirror Lego’s reference to Grey and use
‘Grey’ instead of ‘Gray’ in the descriptions?

I hope others will share the same logic in what I’m trying to suggest or perhaps
I’m barking up the wrong tree? Thoughts?

I understand your point about the names being long or drawn out, but I don't
agree with your point on sand blue. From a color spectrum perspective, the six
core primary and secondary colors are traditional used for shading. As everyone
know naming colors from there become part of the problem as each industry or
supplier calls things different names based on real world objects. Even BL has
"Olive" or "Coral" that fit this mark.

When it comes to shading though, I've always been of the understand that
it's similar to a compass reading. West (W), South West (SW), West South
West (WSW). When you reference the sand blue or LBG, the predominant color becomes
the final work so sand blue by shading would become Grayish Blue.

Then you get to the Medium Violet range when has multiple shade in as single
name as I just came to find out while building my color palette. I accidentally
ordered a 3001 from two different stores and received two different shades which
I found our were color id 112 and 219.
https://rebrickable.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3565-2-different-medium-violet-colors/

While I understand the need for standards (health care worker), if the industry
doesn't adopt one that already exists from the start, they are usually bound
to the one they create and BL seems to fall into the secondary making it much
harder to change as the years progress.

Also if anyone knows a good way to arrange all the colors that's a little

I wish there was an option to put items on sale and then round to a set number
of decimal places.

You can make sales prices the base price and it gives you an option to round
there, but I would like to see an option to round at the put items on % sale
button.

Thanks

Down at the bottom of your inventory.

I just received a number of 2x4 bricks to complete my color pallet, but I've
already identified two problem with the order, and I'm unsure if the other
bricks included are the right color either. The tall part is confirmed Blue-violet
from set 8781. The two purple-ish pieces are supposed to be Medium Violet and
Light Purple. While I believe one of them might be Medium Violet, 1) I don't
know which one it would be and 2) I'm fairly sure the second is not Light
Purple so I don't know what it would be.

Both are medium violet, one is medium bluish violet (left) and the other one
medium reddish violet (right).

There are "tones" of medium violet??? I don't see these names in the BL color
chart, https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp

Check my store, I have both

That's very interesting. I used your color codes and found images linked
to Brickset that had some good information. I guess BL does nothing to distinguish
between the versions then so you really don't know what you will get when
you order that part color.
