BrickLink Discussion Forum

You can find early bricks without Lego logo on the studs but not often seen these
days, most have slots but not all.

The long side fill gate was used on a few odd moulds, usually test moulds I believe.

I have seen clone brands with the colour shown by OP.

If LEGO is not on the studs, then it is not a LEGO. I have never seen a part
that you cannot read LEGO on the studs. I have parts from bulk lots severely
worn, bitten, scratched up, and have never seen a part that you can't read
the logo on the studs.

As stated in other posts, the fact that the fill gate is on the long side of
the part is another sure sign that this is not LEGO.

I got an 1x4 brick but i cannot find the satisfying color in the catalog. I would
say it is either medium brown or dark nougat both do not exist in the catalog
can someone help with identifying the color

the other colors on the picture are reddish brown (left crate) medium nougat
(right crate) and dark orange (slope)

This is not a big deal for me personally as I am not currently selling here,

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..

We will certainly miss him, and we wish him the best for the future. You can

more of a neon red-magenta color. As far as I know there are no other pieces

Does it classify as '3011old'?

You can add it to your listing, there are a few collectors, but not enough to
warrant a seperate 3011old listing.
And if you want to do it right, you also need to list the logo inside the studs

Cheers,

I agree with Maxx. There is no structural difference about this brick, besides
the notification of 'pat pend'. Which makes it not a candidate for a
seperate Catalog entry. We've tried that ourselves years ago.. many years
ago

But yes there are some 'pat pend' collectors, and also, if you want to
complete a set from that time period it is always nice to have bricks from that
period too!

In Catalog, StormChaser writes:

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES TO PARTS 4623 AND 88072

4623 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Arm Up (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Plate, Modified

[P=88072]

Members have recently identified two problems with these part variant entries:

1. The additional notes need to be updated.
2. Part 4623 comes in both 5 MM and 6 MM horizontal arm length versions.

A member has submitted a request for us to take action.

What changes will happen?
1. The title of Part 4623 currently in parentheses will be changed to
read "Undetermined Arm Length," but the part will not immediately be marked for
deletion.
2. A new catalog entry will be created with the part number 4623a and
the title "Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Arm Up (Horizontal Arm Length 6mm)."
3. Part 88072 has 4623b as an alternate item number. The primary number
(88072) and alternate item number (4623b) will be switched for this part.
4. The additional notes for all three entries will be updated for brevity
and ease of comprehension.

When will these changes occur?
All four changes are planned to occur between the hours of 8 AM and 4 PM CST
on July 8th, 2020.

Why are these changes necessary?
The changes are necessary because Part 4623 comes in both 5 MM and 6 MM horizontal
arm lengths. The catalog does not currently recognize this fact and some inventories
include incorrect part variants.

How will these changes affect BrickLink members?
Sellers should move their for-sale listings from the undetermined entry to either
4623a or 4623b as soon as reasonably possible after the July 8th changes. Members
who object to one or more changes should immediately provide input with clear
reasons for their objections.

I also suspect that if we looked at many more parts, the same would apply.

The 3001old with 3001 underneath would be an interesting oddity in the catalogue,
just to name one.

That is certainly an oddity

The main reason to include it in the catalog is so I can find more!
(If people find any, let me know!)

It could be nice to include the version with split tubes. But only for people
looking for bricks from that specific time period, as far as I know there is
no functional difference.

Personally, I think that I would not include 3001oldf1 or 3001f1 in the catalog.
I use them now we have them, and there is a visual difference that some people
might care about because they are used for transparent parts. Solid color parts
have the same inner surfaces, but we simply use 3001old or 3001 for those because
you can't see them.

I just added comparison photos and additional notes for the following part variants
I've recently discovered. All of these variants were undocumented on BrickLink
until today:

3001 Brick 2 x 4
Parts: Brick

I can probably provide at least 20 variations of these molded lines on the inside
of 2x4 bricks. As a collector of 2x4 bricks, I think that these mold details
are to small and to variable to mention in our catalog.

Re: Condition(s) for Used Items

I've had mixed results too.

I've bought bricks from a seller just labelled used and they've been
like new, from another labelled exactly the same and they've gone straight
into my scrap bin.

Some labelled as normal wear for age and they've been gauged, bitten numerous
times or absolutely covered in scratches,not light wear marks or odd scratches.

In Catalog, JRBricks writes:

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but is there a possibility to have
more options for listing used items? For example, I was shopping around for a
few hard to find, relatively expensive minifigs and in searching I notice from
lowest price to highest the Used ones of course are usually listed first, and
I appreciate sellers putting descriptions to help out, but most listings under
Used simply don't have more details. Especially if we are all using stock
photos, it's hard to discern between used minifigs when all have the same
stock photo and just listed under "used." Honestly, I just don't take a chance
on those and look for used with a description that has "like new" or "adult owner,
never played with" "displayed only" "great condition." etc.

Again, sellers have to type in those descriptions, but can there be options such
as "used - like new" "used - heavy playwear" etc. to give more accurate listings?
I guess a store's front page can be a good place to generally describe your
items too. Just a thought and if it's easier like it is then so be it and
I will advise sellers to try to give good descriptions for used expensive items

World production of paracetamol is concentrated in China and India, the two countries
occupy about 89.86% of the global production (China 70% India 19%, as per 2018
stats), and their marketshare has been increasing in recent years.

Today, it's over 90% of the world's production. And to be even more specific
in displaying the irony, the production is in the Wuhan area of China, where
the current Corona virus pandemic originated.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry at your attempt at levity. Maybe go with
the best emotion I know, that is a equal mixture of both.

It's our nature biting us in our butt. In 10 years I wonder how we look back
at these times: will it be our last chance for major change in our thinking and
acting, or do we need a couple of more 'virusses' to smash our egoïstic
nature to smithereens.... I am afraid the latter is more likely to become reality.

Dear BrickLink,

Considering the worldwide situation, the financial measures already started in
many countries (including the USA and the EU) and the financial measured not
yet taken, and the obvious consequences of all these (like inflation, devaluation,
and total financial and fiducial chaos), I’d like to strongly suggest BrickLink
add two new, but actually quite ancient, (mostly) universal, and staple currencies:
TP (Toilet Paper) and PST (Pasta).

Thank you,
Sylvain

I have this item with solid studs, so should be under 4215a

It is currently under 4215 which is undetermined.

Can anyone check the third picture - comes up too small for me, to see the studs

If they are solid, which I think they are, this wants re-assigning to a 4215a
number

Hi, the last days I spent with creating a list with BrickLink Item Numbers and
Description of all parts in my collection that I did not use for about 50 years
because I want first to document them for myself and then sort out and get rid
of them. I noticed that a lot of parts are not to find at BrickLink. In addition
I used https://www.toysperiod.com/lego-set-reference/ as source of information
but even there I could not find all parts. It would be very nice if BrickLink
would try to become a complete documentation of all parts that Lego ever released.

Hello everyone,

Today I am very pleased to announce we have a new Catalog Associate! As you may
see from the Hall of Fame, StormChaser has previously held two catalog-type admin
positions - Inventories Admin and the legacy Catalog Admin - and has recently
returned to the site.

We're delighted he has decided to come back, and I know many of you missed
him as well. He has many ambitious plans for the catalog, and now that we have
more staff on board, it's looking as though we can start making some serious
headway.

So please join me in welcoming him.

You can see his familiar profile in line
with the others here:

StormChaser is also the first member to officially join our new Community Expert
Program. We hope to see the other catalog admins joining in the next day or two,
and the rest of our admins within the week.

Re: Nougat is the new Flesh -> incorrect listing!

Every training course for safety, manual handling etc, that I've ever been

Their justification being that what's common sense for one is not necessarily
common sense for another, experience tells me that they are right, we all have
our own ideas as to what is common sense.

If a buyer orders an item incorrectly listed as Dark Nougat, then the seller
has no leg to stand on

Dark nougat is a new and rare color, so items listed as such should be carefully
verified. That is the seller's responsibility to the buyer.

If a buyer orders an item incorrectly listed as Earth Orange, it is site policy

An administrator gave commonsense advice for handling the integration of the
new color. That does not rise to the level of site policy.

that it is common sense that it might be the wrong colour

It has been the wrong color since whenever these colors were added until now.
The site has made progress and you complain? How would you recommend handling
the situation? Removing all items for sale in earth orange and insisting that
every seller examine the colors before relisting them for sale?

but since the seller listed it incorrectly, there is no assistance from site management in the event of a claim.

Again, true dark nougat parts have always been listed incorrectly. You are making
something out of nothing merely for the sake of having something to be unhappy
about.

Tetchy are we not? I did not ask you for an opinion on anything I said. I asked
a question (twice) as a paid up customer of BrickLink on something on which I
am unclear and to which not furher diection has been given other than the fact
that members who cannot understand this must use common sense. Now put your little
boxing gloves back on the shelf please. You would not begin to know what makes
me happy or unhappy. I've not said ANYTHING about the progress or lack thereof
of this site. I am not the only member who have expressed confusion about this
issue as raised by a member of site management and in fact the only current catalogue
administrator. I am tryig to get an understanding of what is meant by having
common sense and maybe/maybe not atatements applied to an agreement. That is
it, no more, no less.
