Please change this entry of the catalog.
The original sets comes with 2x30237b in Red, the alternate items could be 2x30237 in Red.
See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiAKAJp2_OY at 1:05

If you don't accept this change, please could you explain which is the criteria to put the regular items instead alternate items????

Thanks.

Total disappointed with this answer from Bricklink.
In the same way as LEGO Group they are not able to address the problem properly.

Please, listen to us (customers) properly: The main interesting set in this round
is The Castle in the Forest so the poor customer needs solution on this topic.

The other rules are ok but not now and they are not going to apply to our most
desired set from this round.

Sorry Bricklink but from my point of view you are not up to par. What a shame...

Regards.

  Thank you for the incredible interest you showed in the BrickLink Designer Program. We have been blown away by the response. As with any new endeavor, some things went well, and others don’t go to plan.




What worked

Based on our first round of crowdfunding, we believe the BrickLink Designer Program has strong potential. Your interest exceeds all our expectations. The portfolio of products is strong, and the designers are a joy to work with. We are looking forward to preparing for rounds 2 and 3.




However, there are a few things we need to address urgently with Round 1.




What needs to be improved

Thank you to everyone who has shared comments and feedback with us over the past week. While we understand many of you are frustrated, we are grateful for your quick and clear input.




There are four areas we want to address:



Site performance

Limited production of 5,000 units of each set & ordering glitch

Order limits of 5 sets per customer

Shipping limited to countries serviced by LEGO.com





Site performance & server capacity

When the crowdfunding went live on Thursday July 1 traffic to the site overloaded BrickLink’s servers. This meant some users couldn’t place their orders in time and for many, the site ground to a halt. We apologize for any disappointment this caused. We are currently reviewing server capacity.




Limited production and ordering glitch

The limit of 5,000 units per set was based on the AFOL Designer Program run in 2019. For that release, we produced 2,500 sets which didn’t all sell out. We obviously underestimated the appeal of the Bricklink Designer Program sets and because of that, we will double the limit for future releases.




The high level of demand was compounded by the site performance issues. An ordering glitch meant that people were able to pre-order 5,000 additional Castle in the Forest sets, which means we’ve received orders for 10,000 sets.




We have talked to many of you in the community about how to address this and have decided on the following actions:



Produce 10,000 of the Castle in the Forest sets so we can deliver to everyone who ordered.

Re-opening pre-ordering for round 1 on August 3rd to allow the four projects Kakapo, Great Fishing Boat, Sheriff’s Safe and Pursuit of Flight to also sell up to 10,000 sets.

Increase production for Crowdfunding rounds 2 and 3 to 10,000 each to meet demand.





We appreciate that this approach may not satisfy everyone, but we had to balance meeting users’ expectations with offering a fair outcome, so all designers had the chance to sell the same number of sets and the potential to dilute some of the exclusivity that comes with doubling the number of set available. We hope you understand.




Increasing production will delay shipping and future rounds of crowdfunding. Since we are doubling the production run, the additional 5,000 sets for Round 1 will be shipped in June 2022, as opposed to January 2022. This will also delay the release of Rounds 2 & 3. The final plan for this will be communicated at a later stage.




If, because of these changes, you wish to cancel the sets you’ve pre-ordered, please contact LEGO Customer Service.




Order limits of five per customer

We initially set the maximum order quantity at five per customer. Unfortunately, we saw a very small number of opportunistic customers hoarding sets and re-selling them for inflated prices. We’re disappointed by this as it wasn’t our intention to enable such behavior. We want everyone to have an opportunity to get a hold of a set, so going forward, we will set a maximum order limit of 1 set per customer. This will apply from when we re-open Round 1 to additional orders and to future crowdfunding rounds.




It’s important to point out that 75% of orders for Castle in the Forest were for one set– so we’d like to thank you for being considerate of other fans.




Shipping limited to LEGO Shop countries

We have decided to sell BrickLink Designer Program sets through the LEGO.com shop to give you a smooth shipping and support process. Unfortunately, this also limits the countries to which we can ship. For now, we plan to continue to use LEGO.com and not offer additional shipping destinations.




In summary



For Round 1, we will increase the number of sets available from 5,000 to 10,000. Castle in the Forest has already reached this amount. The four other sets will re-open to additional pre-ordering on August 3rd, but it will not be possible to pre-order additional Castle in the Forest sets. The additional production run will delay in shipping and release dates for crowdfunding rounds 2 and 3.

All future pre-orders will have a quantity limit of 1.

Unfortunately, in the current LEGO.com setup we are not able to ship to additional countries.





Again, we apologize for any disappointment and hope that the steps outlined above go some way to address the concerns raised.



Thank you for your patience, feedback and support for the BrickLink Designer Program. We look forward to building a better experience moving forward.



Sincerely,
The BrickLink Team

It does. Those are the parts listed in the Regular Items section.

  If you use Counterparts section, duplicate always or not in this section.

The Counterparts section can currently show assemblies that can be made from
parts in the Regular Items section. The parts in the Regular Items section can
be used to make the wheel/tire combos *and* they can also be used to make the
motorcycle. In other words, they do not show "duplicate" parts, they just show
various assemblies from the set that can be used for commerce purposes.

Cheers,
Randy

Understood Randy.

Thank you so much for your clarification.

Regards.

Comments from Submitter:
This set Inventory includes 50860c01 Item 'Orange Motorcycle Dirt Bike, Complete Assembly with Black Chassis and Dark Bluish Gray Wheels' which includes the 50862c01 items, so are duplicated and it is neccessary to delete them. Thanks. Regards

Hi when bikes and motorcycles assemblies are in the couterparts section, wheels
and tires assemblies are also added to such inventory as another counterpart.
Just look in how many sets this wheel ant tire assembly is as counterpart beside
having also motorcycle:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=50862c01&in=S
Counterparts section can have "duplicate" items. Like also parts with the same
sitcker but having different mold variant.

This request will be rejected.

I understand your reply, but in my opinion the set inventory must show exactly
the parts that the set have, without duplicates. If you use Counterparts section,
duplicate always or not in this section.

Regards.
