41999 was bad enough, but that was more quantity, a smaller audience, and worldwide.
Releasing these with no notice and just to Wal-Mart in the US is a dick move.
It's not like they are fringe characters either, a lot of people like these
two, it just doesn't make sense to not release these popular characters worldwide
to take advantage of the movie.
I'm all for scumbag reselling, you have to hate the game not the player.
LEGO shouldn't be enabling this in the first place, just like 41999, just
like the series 18 Policeman. I'm all for taking advantage as a seller, but
I don't agree the opportunity should exist in the first place.

I'm hoping they do release worldwide, and not limited. It would be stupid
not to. If they don't release Emmet and Wyldstyle, then there is no point
in wider releases of Sweet Mayhem and Benny.

Honestly, I don't see the point in changing the actual colors. Sticker sheets
always appear at or close to the top of an inventory when classified as N/A
and we have no arguments between people about defining colors of individual sheets.
I did go in a few years ago and submit a bunch of change requests to add the
search term "Mirrored" to all mirrored sticker sheets. I think we could do that
for any sticker sheet which had an overall pattern (reflective, mirrored, holographic,
etc.). Many of them are already that way.
So instead of classifying by color, would you settle for the color being defined
in the title? I have no problem with the idea of renaming sticker sheets to
reflect the color or surface type in theory, but I wonder if it would be worth
all the effort. How important do you consider it? What would be some benefits?
Are you willing to help by submitting catalog change requests?
BTW, the project of renaming every sticker sheet would never truly be completed
because many older sticker sheets are difficult or impossible to obtain.

I'm excessively pleased to announce the all-new Catalog Roadmap in the Help

If you lose that link, you can always find the page in the Help Center for the
catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?topicID=21
This is an effort to increase transparency about what is happening with the BrickLink
catalog and to make it feel more like a community effort. And, of course, to
get some stuff done.
And no, before anyone asks, I don't know what's going on with the site
roadmap. I thought it was a fantastic feature and I'm quite excited to finally
have something similar for the catalog.

Today I got panicked, because I didn't find my super lots on searcher, but
I have them for sell.
On forum I got an answer that I must check the field before "Include Super Lots"
and than I can see them.
For me, as a seller this is not logical.
How will buyers know If there is a possibility to buy for example a minifigure
together with weapon If they don't know that this option exsist?
Or that they can buy left and right doors in one package?
For now I have app 1620 lots for sell and app 320 of them are super lots, which
is 20% of my store items and they are not visible to the buyers.
Please put a fix check infornt "Include Super Lots" that all the items are visible
to buyers. If buyers don't want to see super lots, than they can uncheck
the option.
I think this solution will be good for all the sellers.
Thank you for the answer.

Per http://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=200
Heads - For figures with moveable arms and legs always use a head with an open
stud. When there are 2 entries in the catalog for the same head, one with an
open stud and one with a solid stud, always use the one with an open stud. Only
figures using old type torsos and/or legs (part no 17 and 15 respectively) can

And yes we know that's wrong but it's how this catalog is done.

Minifig head 3626bp01 (Minifig, Head Standard Grin Pattern - Stud Hollow) was not introduced until 1987 -- the year Classic Space was retired and replaced with Futuron.
All 5 Classic Spacemen, from 1978 to 1986 used Yellow 3626ap01 (Minifig, Head Standard Grin Pattern - Stud Solid) as their head, as did nearly all "Legoland" minifigures during that period.
(My 1st Classic Space set, 6824-1 -- Space Dart-I -- came brand new with 3626ap01 as the Blue Classic Space figure's head.)

Randy,
The parts list has 4 is this a misprint by Lego or should there have
been 4 as well? I don't have the set and must go on the Parts List.

These should all be listed as regular figs. Just because the figs are in a sitting

except they are not shown assembled as figs. So per the rules, they are not regular.
|
These early minifigs are an exception to the rule. Take a look at other inventories
that have them and you will see what has been done over the years. The reason
this anomaly has remained is because Dan J himself added the counterparts and
no one has had the impetus to overwrite what he did.
And even though Dan was excellent at seeing the big picture with regards to inventory
policy, he was not the detailed, methodical inventory worker that we usually
see working on these older inventories. He set up the system and mass-uploaded
thousands of inventories, but he left it up to others to do the fine tuning.
When one studies how these minifigs are used in sets, in becomes apparent that
the instructions cannot be used as a reference in the same way as those for movable
figs. Early figs coudn't bend or hold things, so the legs are often removed
from the torso when the fig is active, e.g. sitting in a vehicle or pushing a
wheelbarrow. Sure, if we want to be pedantic about it we could force the normal
rules on these figs. But it isn't practical - using counterparts means that
figs (whole or in part) are listed in three different sections of the inventory
- regular, minifig, and counterpart. This confuses people, and frankly is unappealing
aesthically.

| | Hi,
I may be among the newly banned from S@H. Got a letter earlier this month, existing
orders were cancelled, but haven't ordered more since to confirm I can't
buy.
I want to suggest Bricklink a possible expansion, source for new revenues, and
protection of investment. Working with TLG to become a distributor, or provide
and oversee a distribution line to Bricklink sellers.
I don't believe Bricklink sellers are the resellers TLG is most concerned
with. I would like to see a S@H channel that has some/all the benefits of S@H,
but not the volume limitation on sets purchased. BL and TLG are supposed to be
cooperating, and it would serve both of them to sell to the sellers here.
Reselling concerns could be addressed, even monitored. I'm not familiar with
the Minecraft problem, but problem sets need not be included in the BL@H channel.
This may not work for set sellers, but alternative packaging could be made available,
using basic or generic packaging to help reduce costs, or existing packaging
that has been damaged to prevent resale(like a hot rod pressed through the labels
of records, or covers torn from books). TLG sells mostly sets, we sell parts
that don't compete with most of their core sales.
Bricklink could watch the stores that are involved in this channel, and handle
any store that sells in a way it shouldn't. Start out with purchase limitations
for stores until they have histories or existing inventories that would qualify
for larger purchases. Make sure the parts from sets sold to the stores through
BL@H show up in those store's inventories. Bricklink should get a cut of
any BL@H purchase, plus the normal commision when a store sells those parts.
TLG makes money, makes fans happy, and reduces liability exposure to unhappy
customers. Also, buyers are still able to get parts they need that TLG is not
going to supply. Most PaB parts are way too expensive compared to prices here.
Bricklink is a fan site with commercial practices, but those practices would
be impossible to duplicate profitably with our love for the brick. If I were
to hire someone to do what I do here, unless it is at a special reduced minimum
wage, no profit would be made.
I have to believe an idea like this has already been kicked around. I don't
know why it wouldn't have been explored, but banning sellers and fans from
making economic purchases could change how people feel, could change how TLG
is perceived. Bricklink has been a success, but business have to grow and change
to remain a success.
I would like to ask Bricklink to develop a product distribution channel with
The Lego Group for Bricklink sellers.

Probably confused by the fact that they are shown assembled on the fig on page
4 and then are removed when Eris is in the cockpit on page 24 and then stuck
on the jet on page 75.

Just wondering, why are they added as counterparts?
When parting a set, counterparts cannot be broken up automatically -- but
if they are regular minifigures then someone can simply select to keep them as
figures or to part them out. Otherwise if someone is parting them out, they have
to manually check the inventory for every figure and manually delete every single
part.

Because for example "Steve" there are parts for a complete one but extra's
for part of one. We can let the Invmins decide how they prefer.

justifying the price paid for a retired set with the presumably lower MSRP staring

Dangerous. The same part in different colors has different weights. Close enough

| | I've got a lot of projects I want to do, I've got them all tidily made
in LDD formats and I export the brick lists for BrickLink. I've yet to purchase
anything, though, because going through hundreds of different bricks (and, hundreds
of different stores/ brick) and trying to get all the separate things put into
carts that are separated by store is really frustrating.
I'm only just now really wanting to get into buying lego parts this way but
the way this website is, it is way too difficult to try to optimize separate
orders. I think what the first priority of the development of the site should
be is to streamline and modernize the ordering process.
A website similar to this is TCGplayer.com , but obviously, for cards. For a
demonstration of the functionality I think this site needs, check this url: http://tinyurl.com/l9tjkp9
(It is a page where I have already input a list of cards and the number of them
I wish to have).
If you do not wish to see this in action, I'll describe it.
After inputting the list of cards and clicking "Add to Cart", the store automatically
creates a cart that contains all the items listed (anything not in stock is left
out and the user is notified that those things were left out). Your cart is made
from various stores and all the price totals from each store are displayed.
This functionality alone would make this website so much more usable, but what
is really great about TCGplayer.com is the cart optimization. It allows you to
order your entire list from all the available stores, but selects the particular
stores that have the lowest price for the particular item you want (it also includes
shipping costs in calculations so that that is also optimized). You click the
optimization button and can then from each listed card select the allowed printings,
editions, and conditions for the entire list, and on an individual card basis.
That way, if you don't care what printing of a card is, you can allow any
one. This could translate to a person allowing any color of a particular brick,
or choosing a list of colors they would allow, as well as the conditions. Then,
when you apply the optimization, your cart is rebuilt with the same cards you
listed, but optimized with whatever specifications you allowed so that you have
the best price you can get from the combined available stores.
I've been looking hard for some sort of similar functionality, or even the
ability to keep track of all of my carts, but I haven't been able to. It's
really disheartening, as it shouldn't take me hours of digging through the
website and comparing prices so build a cart and make an order, and I really
love the idea of this website.

The problem is the cart is stored on the buyers machine. Bricklink and the seller
have no idea it exists. Try putting stuff into a cart, then go onto a different
computer. It won't see your cart. Go back to the first one and it's still
there.

Thanks for your insight, Brett.
However, it makes me think wether people are understanding what I would like.
I'm talking about a system that would be a feature, and tool, something extra.
In example, bulk quantities exist. I don't use them, nor like them, but some
sellers do, because it makes their life easier. And yes, it seems that they don't
care too much about wether a buyer wants 2 tiles or 10 to meet the bulk amount.
This is what that would be, an extra. Some seller would appreciate it and implement
it. Just to make it clear, I wouldn't.
The "bulky" system thing is maybe too far out, if this is just going to be a
tool implemented by some. However, I'd just give it out as a tool, and let
people decide wether they want it or not. Some big sellers I'm should
would like the feature and use it.
It's just an extra, an option, a feature, a choice, something seller's
would choose to use if they like, and not use it if it's too much hassle.
If you wouldn't use it, why would you vote "no" then, if you wouldn't
be required to use it?
| | Make them see that you are going out of your way to give them a valued experience

Indeed, but also most of them are not the usual items you get in an order. Yes,
that would break automatic shipping, thanks for the point. Also, I'm not
talking about dimensions anymore, as that was a little unrealistic. Or a solution
for the future if they want instant checkout for every single order, which I
would hate to see.
|
Also "used complete" sets show up in the cart with the same weight as "new" sets.
Except used complete sets don't require the box or instructions. So clearly
not even close. You would have to change the way things are listed to include
check-boxes for these variables.

You can use the BrickStore program to save a shopping cart. Doesn't help

Save your cart, then re-upload that as a Wanted List when you are ready to shop

It would be nice if you could mass-select the Notify checkbox for all the items

For instance, I uploaded an XML wanted list (omitting the NOTIFY tag) - now I'd

the item goes back into the store, without having to run an inventory update
to achieve this.
|
Why have parts in your store room, simply upload them into your store?
| | 3. It would also be nice if possible to have regionlised pricing. We appreciate
that Bricklink is 'worldwide' and many of ths stores accomodate that, however
having the ability to look at your regions pricing would be very useful.
|
I agree, LEGO in the US is far cheaper than here, yet this is not clear in the
price guide.
This makes for lower European prices and thus higher profits for US sellers
| | 4. The Bricklink fees charges.
|
I believe these are 3%, so it does not matter what currency you use
| | Due to the fact that this is in USD, converting
on an almost constant basis, it is very difficult to pin down an exact cost for
Bricklink per order. It would help if this were in the local currency that the
store sets as its own and/or if there were a statement produced at the end of
each billing period which showed order by order what the fee was in USD and the
local currency that the store uses. This would also be ideal for the stores accounting

Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately using HTML is not an option for me
or my colleagues. We have used Word and published to html, but as usual Microsoft
have their own way of doing things which is making a mockery o9f basic html.
As for uploading directly to the store, that is what we have been trying to do
and each time we do it, we end up with some parts in the storeroom and others
straight into the store - very frustrating.
Glad to see there is a general view that regionlised pricing could be useful.
I hope Bricklink take that on board.
As for their fees yes you are right it is 3% of the order total shown in USD,
not in GBP. They then alter that based on the constantly changing currency conversion
so you end up with not knowing the exact Bricklink cost. Surely a simple statement
showing the order number, order value USD amount and the local currency amount
would be better.

As for uploading directly to the store, that is what we have been trying to do
and each time we do it, we end up with some parts in the storeroom and others
straight into the store - very frustrating.
Glad to see there is a general view that regionlised pricing could be useful.
I hope Bricklink take that on board.
As for their fees yes you are right it is 3% of the order total shown in USD,
not in GBP. They then alter that based on the constantly changing currency conversion
so you end up with not knowing the exact Bricklink cost. Surely a simple statement
showing the order number, order value USD amount and the local currency amount
would be better.

I think this is a great idea and it wouldn't be to hard to implement since the
info already exits on BL.
My thoughts are...
What would be considered rare?
I would suggest go with a standard already used on rebrickable, which I believe
if a color of a certain part is found in 5 or less sets it is considered rare.
As far as non-production parts I would not include them. The reason is it would
be extremely easy to defraud a buyer, at least in my option. Unless BL is going
to verify and approve the part through the Catalog Add or Change system that
it is a actual non-production lego. Just simply listing the part as a color that
isn't already known should not add it to the rares.
How would a buyer find a rare part in a sellers store?
It would be automatic. After a seller uploaded a parted out set that had a rare
part in it under the "Show All Items" link in stores it would say "Show All Rare
Items".

Occurs only in 1 set from 1988 . But not rare by any stretch of the imagination.

I like the idea. Often a store offers rare parts which are not on my wanted list.
But it is hard to find them. With this feature you can make a fast choice to
buy them for example to meet the minimum amount.
|
Yes, it woulg make more sales for stores that offer "rare" or "HTF" parts, without
them having to say "Rare" or "HTF" in the description. Also, it would filter
oy non rare, but marked as such in the comments 
-R
|
What about an option to filter for non-production parts, the rarest of all parts.
That seems easy enough: a filter that shows all parts which are listed as colors
that do not appear as their known colors. That would become tricky when parts
are make in new colors like the series 6 accessories, but would be sorted out
once added to the catalog.

Why are non-production parts "the rarest of all parts" ? There are non-production
parts that are far more common then some released in sets.

Please add a quantity box/field in the 'wanted list'.
Created my 'wanted list' with about 250 different items in it from about 25 different
sets.
Queried the shops with good results. Now I have to go back to the piece of paper
where I have written missing parts from each set. They are all different quantities
and are not in the same order like 'wanted list'. It will take a lot of time
now as oppose if I was able to type the quantities while creating the list..
I am still new so please excuse and inform me if solution to this problem exists.
All the best!

Use the line titled "Notify me only if the Quantity of the part for sale is more
or equal to:"
Or put it in the "My Remarks:" box and you can put the set number there also.

Hmm, my inclination is to leave the games where they are. They *are* different
than sets (even on the shelves of stores such as Target they are found on different
aisles).
Now it might be possible to create box entries for them in a similar fashion
that instructions entries have been created for certain Gear items, but it would
probably take a back seat to other issues in site development.
|
Okay that makes sense. If possible I would say that Box entries for certain gear
items would be a good idea, but I understand if that gets put on the back burner,
as I'm sure many other things are more important right now, and demand for these
items are probably very low.
Thanks for clearing things up Maggie

That would work.

Of course we looked at that alternative, but the fact is that the games are not
sets, so we won't categorize them as such.

What about ? Comes with bricks, cardboard game board and playing
cards.

True, this probably could have gone either way.

This one I would say is a Set first and Gear second, particularly since it hails
from the era before TLG was producing Gear items right and left.
Maggie

Maybe the current types of games should be revisited as to their type. When Dan
was building this site, games were only the traditional board type games with
a few pieces in them. They could be left in gear.

Dan created the Gear Type, he didn't create concomitant box entries because he

they don't. It's only the Set type that is programmed to automatically create
a box entry to go along with it whenever a set is added to the catalog.
Maggie

Okay that makes sense. Perhaps the Games should be listed under sets then? They
seem more sets than gear anyway, considering they are their own product line,
they contain regular Lego parts, and must be built with instructions. Just a
thought

There are a number of discrepancies like that on the site for search methods.
Browse Catalog: Parts by category and at the bottom Stickers by theme.
