| New parts that already can be found on Rebrickable and Brickset are not in the
catalog on BL.
Rebrickable and Brickset extract the information from the LEGO website.
example parts: 69958 and 71772 (https://rebrickable.com/search/?show_printed=on&include_accessory=1&q=71772&search_type=all).
Why can't BL just import all new parts from LEGO automatically (just like
RB and BS) and attach a label to them with something like "still to be considered/weighed/photographed/measured
by Bricklink's catalog administrators"?
Buyers who are reading reviews on the aforementioned sites (but also NewElementary)
would have a better experience on BL(XP) when they can at least search for the
new parts. This way new parts would also be available to sellers to sell - and
for buyers to buy.
Since BL is now owned by TLG I really, really don't get this!
It would be nice to get a reply from @Admin - I'm looking at Julia and Marvin
from TLG.

| As some of you will know: TLG recently changed the plastic they were using to
mould trans-clear elements.
I remember having read some critical comments about this, perhaps on New Elementary
or on the Brickset Forum, but I can't remember exactly where.
Anyway: the new plastic material that is used by TLG today is far more prone
to scratching than the old plastic. The colour is also significant different.
I show this in picture below. The trans clear parts on the right side are from
sets that I purchased (and parted out for my shop) before 2019/2020. The parts
on the left side were purchased via the PAB wall in a LEGO shop, but they are
common in recent sets as well.
So my question is: what to do?
Suppose someone orders 8 1x2 transparent bricks from my shop and I send him/her
4x a brick from the left side of my picture and 4x a brick from the right side?
I don't think the customer will be happy!

the part you want to buy, but no part number.
Please add the part number somewhere here.
Thank you.

| The last couple of weeks we've seen an increasing number of forum posts from
new members with questions about how to use Stud.io.
@Bricklink: Please take some effort to make it more clear that when working in
Stud.io, there's a special forum dedicated to those questions so we won't
have to deal with it here.
I know SilvainS is happy to respond to the questions but the BL forum is not
really the place for it.
Thanks.

| Author: | Leftoverbricks | | Posted: | Mar 19, 2020 12:46 | | Subject: | Add paper flyers to set inventories | | Viewed: | 86 times | | Topic: | Catalog | | Status: | Open | |
| Quite a few of today's sets not only contain instructions (= booklets or
single sheets of paper) but also other paper items. These are included to promote
the product line or to provide information about what you can do with the set.
Currently there's no way to add these to a set inventory which means that
--as a seller-- you cannot sell a set as 'complete' until these
items are part of the catalogue inventory.
Example:
contains an instruction sheet https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?I=41906-1#T=S&O={%22ss%22:%22NL%22,%22rpp%22:%2250%22,%22iconly%22:0}
and a leaflet/flyer --whatever you want to call it-- with building ideas
and a product overview.
For the above set I added this paper sheet to the catalogue under number 6317480.
I can't add a link to this item in the form of p=xxxx or whatever because
it's not supported in the macro tags. See https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1147
Also: this item is nowhere linked to the sets in which it appears.
StormChaser approved it with the item number 'm20dots' and description
'2020 Mini Dots (6317480)'. BTW: I don't think this is very helpful.
I think we need a way to add those paper leaflets to the inventory of a set.
There are two ways to do this:
1. make items like this a part of the inventory or
2. extend the current set description [set entry | instructions entry | box
entry] with '| other included items' or whatever you want
to call it.

| TLG is distributing general product flyers in sets within the same theme. For
example DOTS and Ninjago Arcade Pods. The flyers are all the same, so not specific
to a particular set.
Can I add those to the catalog? And where: book / gear / catalog / somewhere
else?

| I found a link of the sets from 2020 that are not yet inventoried: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?itemYear=2020&itemInvUserID=0&itemBrand=1000&catType=S
However, is there is also a page that contains information about sets that are
reserved?
For instance I was looking for the status of set
to know whether this set was reserved or not. But by submitting the set number
on the page, I also reserved it for myself. That wasn't what I was looking
for.
@Admin_Russell: can you help / clearify?
And please un-reserve the above mentioned set for me.

| For insight information please look here: http://www.newelementary.com/2019/10/lego-store-build-minifigure-exclusive-bam.html
Questions:
How are these parts 'handled' by the inventory admins?
Since many of these parts do not yet occur in regular sets, what's the BL
policy here?
What should we know when uploading new parts from BaM?
TL;DR
BaM = Build a Minifigure, an option to build a minifig in an official LEGO brand
store. You can choose from a collection of heads, legs, torso's, hair and
minifig utensils. Some of them were never released before in official sets.

| Sorry if my questions seems dumb, but I wonder:
Stormchaser, who is a Catalogue Administrator, is posting to the catalogue requests
topic. But who is in charge of approving/denying those requests? To me it seems
that he is posting to himself?
Same for inventories requests (Hygrotus).
Can someone please explain:
- what is the purpose of these requests?
- when you are an administrator, like Hygrotus or Stormchaser, who is the person
that approves/denies? As far as I know there's not a Super Inventories /
Catalogue Administrator paid by BrickLink who has the last word.
Who's the boss?

| Dear Catalog Admins,
About 2 weeks ago I supplied a picture for
in the old brown color.
I spent almost an hour to get the lightning right and Photoshopping afterwards
to make sure that the colour is absolutely right.
1) what happened to my submission?
2) I can't find my submission on the myPend page https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&myPend=Y&itemBrand=1000
OK, I know that on the bottom right of the photo there is a shadow which shouldn't
be there, but hey, if that's all then you will never get all images right.
BTW: in listings the image is cropped to 400x300 pixels so what's the problem?
Thanks.

| Developers, please add iDeal as one of the payment methods for buyers in the
Netherlands.
This payment method is the most common in Netherlands and Dutch buyers/sellers
belong to the Top 10 in the world on BL.
iDeal has a very good and easy to integrate API.
There is also a growing number of PSP's (Payment Service Providers) in other
countries who have iDeal integrated in their payment options.
iDeal = instant payment method where the buyer uses his debit bank account to
pay. Payment is free for buyer, seller pays only a small flat fee, not depending
on the order amount (unlike PayPal).

| When submitting items, images or anything else to the catalog, please have an
option to receive an automated email when the submitted item has been approved
(or rejected).
This is very useful when working on inventories, especially when the submitter
and catalog admin have an ocean between them
Thanks!
