| | So.. forgive my inattentiveness, but last time I checked (earlier this year),
the catalog was looking a biiit different from what I was used to for the past
15 years. And since I am a catalog based sorter, I decided to close the main
part of my store on Bricklink for now, focus on other stuff and address the issue
later on. Give it some time for the dust of moving stuff in the catalog to settle.
I recall there was some Dome category, amongst a few other things (didn't
wedge plates also got moved to plate? Or that was about to happen?)....
But the other day I was browsing my inventory and I noticed everything is...
preeetty much the way it used to be? Tried to search the forum but didn't
exactly find an explanation.. whatever happened? I mean, I'm fine with it,
but just wondering.. was it cancelled or just postponed?
|
A lot of the things were not approved by BrickLink, so we did not proceed with
them.

Our catalog is a work in progress! Parts are submitted by volunteer contributors
and approved by volunteer admin over long stretches of time. LEGO changes their
products, adds new variety and more and more parts and we keep changing too.
You can submit changes requests for any oddities and inconsistencies you find.
The catalog notes for these parts are:
Minifigure, Headgear - For minifigure head coverings, excluding hair. Most or
all also fit micro and mini dolls.
Minifigure, Hair - For hair and hair/headgear combinations that primarily appear
on minifigures. Most or all also fit micro and mini dolls.
Even these definitions are relatively new.  It looks like most of the Combos
started being put in the Hair category around 2015. Many of the leftovers in
Headgear were added to the catalog before that. Some of these are also fairly
subjective. How much hair needs to be present for an item not to be listed as
Headgear? etc.
Please keep in mind that parts that need to be moved to a different category
are now usually handled in batches to reduce the impact this has on sellers.
Perhaps an admin can chime in and let us know if the Hair/Hat combos will be
corrected in the next major update.

I have moved this to a Catalog Request and plan to look into it. Some changes
are probably needed, and if they are, they will be added to the parts planned
to be moved on October 1.

| | Very nice that have the option to change all dimensions on a single page: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=S
In my opinion, following the logic for instructions entries were we have width

same logic and I would therefore suggest to make this: width x height x thickness
(of the flattened box).
Depth?

I have moved this message to another topic since there was nothing here that
a Catalog Admin can do.
Here is the help page for measuring boxes:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2510#EmptyBoxes
The help page refers to "thickness" of the flattened box, so I agree that it
should be changed on the form.

The inventory on BrickLink was compiled from a sealed set and verified by at
least one other user from a sealed set. BrickLink has the most accurate LEGO
inventories anywhere.
The data on Brickset is retrieved from the LEGO replacement parts service, and
is very often incomplete or wrong.
And, when in doubt, you can always look for photos of a sealed set being opened.
Here's one for fun:

Just wanted to point out that what is listed as Part 50018g
is actually two parts

Please post a comparison photo showing the differences.

OK - I put this together, and also took some photos of the other pieces that
come in the same bag, which I will attach in replies to this post.
I'm not quite sure which pieces match a couple of the descriptions, but I'll
let someone else figure that out.
|
Has there been any further discussion among catalog admins about this? I see
a note was added that the part appears in left and right variants, however, this
isn't really what a variant should be. Variants appear randomly and unpredictably
but with part 50018 each and every bag has distinct left and right parts that
are deliberately placed there by LEGO.
I would like to be able to sell this part without having to create two separate
lots for left and right.
|
We separated the left and right versions of these
that come in a multipack, so we can definitely separate the left and right versions
of those, also, if you would submit the entries and relevant images.
The new item numbers would be 50018gL and 50018gR.
Cheers,
Randy

It is because the base part

Therefore, all decorated versions of this part will be named "Minifigure, Headgear

Although this would be better served by a tag, I have decided to add it to the
name for convenience. We may never have a tag system, so this is the best we
have.
I have also decided to only change this one part instead of standardize all wedges

After further investigation, there are only a few wedges that use the term "curved".
There are way more wedges that are curved that do not use the word "curved".
In my opinion, the term should only be used to differentiate a "non-curved" version
of a wedge from a "curved" version when the wedges have the exact same dimensions,
such as
and
* | | 4856b Wedge 6 x 4 Triple Inverted with Connections between 4 Studs
Parts: Wedge |
Otherwise, a lot of other wedges should be renamed to be consistent. In fact,
to make the names consistent in either direction is going to create a good bit
of work due to all of the decorated versions of either set of parts needing to
be renamed (seven alone for the 11291 parts).
I will discuss this further with the team and we will decide on a direction to
go in.

Randy

For now, you can just submit them like any other sticker sheet. Don't worry

I am back today after three wonderful weeks of fun, sun, hiking and biking!
To the OP, Jon is correct. Stickered counterparts always take a back seat to
everything else because they are very work intensive and do not provide much
value to the site. LEGO released more than 100 new sets over the last month,
so all of the new parts, new minifigures, and new inventories for those sets
are priority number one. We also have to keep up with the constant flow of change
requests. With the addition of the ability to enter packaging dimensions for
everything in the catalog, we have been swamped with change requests.

| | Hello everyone,
In response to some voices we heard last year, we have released a tool to help
folks out with using the catalog macro tags in the Forum and system messages.
This custom macro is one of BrickLink's signature features, and you can see
them peppered everywhere in the Forum, particularly in catalog discussions.
A while back we introduced the ability to specify color for parts, and people
started using it even though they had to look up or remember the BrickLink color
number. The tool we released today helps with the lookup of the color and will
actually write the macro tag for you - no coding experience needed.
So today we were also able to mark a Forum suggestion as Implemented:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1215932
We also fixed a bug that wouldn't allow Gear macros to have color:
We also changed the logic to only show the color name when the author specifies
it. We did this because the default color can be changed by a catalog admin,
so we want people to use the macro color code if they are specifying a color,
even if the color happens to be the current default color.
Enjoy!

is changed?
|
I believe the Additional Notes on part 6628a already cover the variants that
are possible, including the ring below the tow ball (what you are calling the
collar). The parts will not be split.

I am in this group. I am always fascinated by the little things around me when
I go on walks, runs, hikes, bike rides, canoeing, camping, etc. Not only does
the wildlife intrigue me, but every type of plant, fungus, etc. Right now, the
17-year cicadas are out in my part of Ohio ("Brood X" as it is known). The last
time they were here, I had just moved into my first home at 28 and had no kids.
Now, my life could not be more different than it was then. The sound is deafening
and overly irritating, but the whole cicada life cycle and observing them above
ground just fascinates me. They are cute in a weird sort of way.
I love spending time in the outdoors as much as my LEGO!

You have to pull the stock image yourself and manually upload it here on BrickLink.

| As far as things go on the catalog side, this is the guidelines we have been
given to help make things in the system work better for everyone:
- All parts start out as Weight Bound by default.
- Any parts that are 2cm cubed or larger should be set to Volume Bound.
- Any parts that have at least one dimension of 8cm or larger should be set to
Volume Bound.
- All flat parts should be Volume Bound, such as baseplates, sticker sheets,
and items in the Plastic and Cloth categories.
- Flexible parts should stay as Weight Bound, such as hoses, string, power cables,
and chains.
We are pretty quickly getting a lot of these things into place on the catalog
side so that individual stores will not have to deal with these things any longer.
As with all things, though, patience is required since the amount of packaging
settings needed in the entire database is quite large.
Cheers,
Randy

| | Oops, didn't check that, thanks for letting me know.
BTW, what's the difference bt "pending approval" and "in progress"?
|
"In Progress" means that the inventory has been reserved to be inventoried. "Pending
Approval" means that the inventory is in the process of being completed and verified
by an admin.
Any images provided publicly by LEGO are able to be used here.
| | I've never seen a cloth piece that has any number anywhere on it. They come
in little boxes, in the case of 41662, two different pieces in a box, with a
long string of numbers printed on the box, that has nothing to do with the item
names on BL...
|
A cloth piece can be assigned a part number immediately if the inventory for
the set that contains it has been made publicly available by LEGO. Then, you
just need to look it up through Brickset or through LEGO Bricks & Pieces.
If the inventory has not been publicly released, then BrickLink will assign a
'bb' number to it. This is a placeholder number for a part for which
the Design ID is not known.
The little cardboard sleeves and boxes that parts like this come in are listed
in the "Cardboard Sleeve" parts category:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&catString=1060&catType=P&v=2
These can be inventoried, also, so that buyers and sellers can know what comes
in them without having to open them.
