* 
75188-1 Resistance Bomber (Undetermined Pilot Version)
2017
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 8
Marked for Deletion

* Delete 1 Minifigure sw1005 Resistance Bomber Pilot - Finch Dallow (Alternate) (match ID 99)
* Change 1 Minifigure sw0861 Resistance Bomber Pilot {match ID 99 to 0}

Comments from Submitter:
SW1005 should be removed and added to 75188-2 as it was a limited release with different box and instructions. Other early sets with different box and instruction releases have also gotten separate entries, such as 4502-1 blue box and 4502-2 original trilogy box

As long as there is no second entry for this set, these requests cannot be approved.
And from what I see it is unlikely there there will ever be a second entry.

See https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1125322

If you want to have a second set entry, you will need to convince the catalog
side, not the inventories side.

However, the last formal request for this was discarded:

Set No: 3118  Name: Funky Fashion Boutique
* 
3118-1 (Inv) Funky Fashion Boutique
118 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1998
Sets: Scala

* Add 1 Part 6891pb02c02 Light Lime Scala Wall, Vertical Grooved 40 x 2 x 22 2/3 with Window and Door, with Stripe White on Medium Orange Pattern (Alternate) (match ID 1)

Comments from Submitter:
The 6891pb02c02 wall in the set is not light yellow. I have light lime. The image of the box is also light lime.

Based on the instructions (attached) and several used sets which I just checked,
this really looks like a different color than in set 3119. Could you add a photo
of your part?
We would also need one in light lime for the catalog entry.

Comments from Submitter:
If 4032 has been improperly split, this set may never have come with 4032. Source: Parted out sealed set.

Based on previous change requests it looks like all black 4032 were 4032b at
that time. I have therefore removed 4032 from the inventory.
(4032 (with + style) was still used in other colors, though.)
  
BTW - my set didn't come with extra 2412b. Was this confirmed in a sealed
set?

The change log shows that the inventory originally had 2 LBG 2412b. One was removed
in October, 2004 but was added back again as an extra part in February, 2005
by nova (frequent contributer at that time and registered inventories verifier).
So yes, I would say it was confirmed in at least two sealed sets.

The extra yellow plate 1x2, however, should be in the regular items section.
It is needed to build the seaplane model on pages 21-28 and the inventory data
from LEGO.com confirm that there should be four of this part in the set. I fixed
this.

Comments from Submitter:
The set photos never show a hole in this piece, and it would be pretty weird if LEGO actually made the throne seat with a hole in it.

Well, they did:
https://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4792071
https://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4694188

https://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4628258
https://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4788665

Do you have any evidence that this set had the variant without hole as an alternate
part?

  Good morning.
I bought one of those elemental chart of colors, but still can't identify
this shade of yellow.
In the picture I have Light Yellow at the top, and Bright (plain) Yellow at the
bottom and a couple tan pillars for reference.
It such a slight difference from the light yellow...

Added BrickLink color names to your image.

Comments from Submitter:
In a properly built set, these parts don't exist. The stickers on them are superseded by the ones on sheet 2928.2stk01 instead.

Based on images I have found, it looks like the ANA version is the normal set
plus the extra (loose) sticker sheet. Do you know if this is correct?
If so, I think the stickered parts do not need to be removed since the set would
still have the normal sticker sheet and instructions. The ANA stickers would
then just be an alternate building option.

I think you forgot to change the
 
Part No: trainrim  Name: Train Rim for 4.5V & 12V Locomotive Wheels
* 
trainrim Train Rim for 4.5V & 12V Locomotive Wheels
Parts: Wheel, Tire & Tread
?

And then a few of those older posts show a set with
 
Part No: bb0012vac01  Name: Electric, Train Motor 12V with Wheels Type I with 2 Round Contact Holes with 4 Light Gray Train Rim for 4.5V & 12V Locomotive Wheels (bb0012va / trainrim)

but
 
Part No: bb0012v2  Name: Train Wheel, Middle Wheel for 12V Motor
* 
bb0012v2 Train Wheel, Middle Wheel for 12V Motor

and 6x

* 
trainrim Train Rim for 4.5V & 12V Locomotive Wheels

(Here: https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=232698 )

So because of that "in-between" set I fear we cannot use only one match ID number
for all alternates here. And with multiple numbers the inventory would become
quite complicated. I'm not sure it is worth the effort.

BTW do you have evidence that the set came with
 
Part No: bb0012va  Name: Electric, Train Motor 12V with Wheels Type I with 2 Round Contact Holes
* 
bb0012va Electric, Train Motor 12V with Wheels Type I with 2 Round Contact Holes

and 10x loose
 
Part No: trainrim  Name: Train Rim for 4.5V & 12V Locomotive Wheels
* 
trainrim Train Rim for 4.5V & 12V Locomotive Wheels

at some time?

According to this speed build video there should indeed be at least 3 extra 1x1

Request accepted (and I have adjusted the quantities manually since there already
was an extra entry for this part).

Probably. My seals had a bar code, so I couldn't read the date, but I think
the date is in the bar code.

These kind of boxes usually have the batch code on the top narrow side, NOT on
the seals. It is mostly *very* small and sometimes hard to find.

Comments from Submitter:
I am sad that when I finally got my hands on one of these it does not solve the mystery.

Yeah, in fact, you have opened a new mystery because now I would like to know
if the set also came with dark gray
[p=32064b,10]
at some time.

  I am not sure that putting match IDs on all the DBG pieces is worthwhile, but I can do it if requested.

No, the inventory note is sufficient here. See also https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1111011

There are already pending requests for these.
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1266947

But there is also an issue with them as discussed here:
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=255509&nID=1151122

So I'm still not sure if these stickered doors should be counterparts. But
if so, I will approve gunga's requests since he came first.

is not specified (so it can be the current but also an older mold).

See also https://www.leggodt.nl/items/lego/themes-minifigs.php?language=en

So are you saying you got the older mold ("short ribs") in your set? That would
be very unusual for a set from 2006.

Could you please let us know what your source is for making these change requests?
(I see you have this set for sale in your store, but it is still sealed. Do you
have a second copy with open box?)

Sorry for omitting that. Yes, this is from a second set bought new around the
same time, and never disassembled until yesterday. I only noticed it when struggling
to remove the blue grille from the bow piece and thought it was strange that
a 1997 set would have this part variation.

Many thanks. There are already a few sets from 1997 in the catalog which still
had 2412a. Looks like 1997 was the last year of the transition period.

Could you also check the string lengh in your set and replace the undetermined
entry with the correct lengh?

I have this set with building instruction, but nowhere are the 2 part 3003 blue

the set? I would say only a sealed set could confirm their presence in this set.

Well not in mine. Does this mean they are considered as alternate parts? Note
that they are not mentioned in the instruction text in yours.

Wow this is cool - we just discovered another redesigned set!
See pics at https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/pre-owned-mint-complete-lego-3683-1910486235

Many thanks for noticing that! I will update the inventory accordingly.

That does sound like lot.

Sounds like a great new project for you.

At least there is some excellent reference.

Comments from Submitter:
Just2Good unboxing sealed set

I don't think we should add that extra sticker sheet. TLG very rarely provides
an extra sticker sheet and as Yorbrick already pointed out, the two sheets stick
together so it looks like a packing error. I have found the same in a new set
a few months ago. I will leave this open for a while in case anyone wants to
add anything here.


  Another question, should the zeppelin ship be split into 2 parts, since it is
assembled only for display purposes?

Don't really have an opinion here. But we already have 171 parts in the inventory
while the box says there should be 170. So I would say it is okay for now to
not add another one.

You can see an evidence here
https://youtu.be/xAxMAoHMUIk?t=936

This extra part was requested to be added by a known and reliable contributer:
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=231366

And in addition to that I just checked the set in my personal collection and
it has this extra part. Therefore this request will not be accepted.

Comments from Submitter:
Checked in 2 different sets!

Please see the guideline about extra parts here:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562

"Removing or Changing Extra Items - Extra parts can vary depending on
when and where a set was manufactured, meaning that some new sets may include
them and others may not. The quantity of these extra parts can also vary. Extra
parts are typically not removed or reduced in quantity unless it can be determined
that they were originally added or increased in error."

The 4
 
Part No: 4274  Name: Technic, Pin 1/2 without Friction Ridges
* 
4274 Technic, Pin 1/2 without Friction Ridges
Parts: Technic, Pin {Blue}
and the 6
 
Part No: 2780  Name: Technic, Pin with Short Friction Ridges
* 
2780 Technic, Pin with Short Friction Ridges
Parts: Technic, Pin {Black}
can be seen here:
https://youtu.be/5c6xoochiOI?t=770

So their quantities will not be changed.

I will have a look at
 
Part No: 48729b  Name: Bar   1L with Clip Mechanical Claw - Cut Edges and Hole on Side
* 
48729b Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw - Cut Edges and Hole on Side

Comments from Submitter:
Hey there, I hope I did this correctly. Basically I have the prisoner transport 7245 in the German (Green/POLIZEI) version and I noticed that there is no counterpart to the english version of BA164pb01 yet. All the other stickers are also listed in the German version, only this one was missing. Have a good one!

This request will not be approved since the part BA164pb01 is already included
in the inventory.
A new catalog entry is needed for the German sticker version (see further details
via mail).

  I agree with my predecessors. Set 5004468 does NOT contain COL135. It contains
another minifigure, different from the COL135, composed of a head with hollow
stud, which we must create to put an end to the confusion (I propose a name starting
with HOL ...). The subject seems important to me, because the COL135 was valuable,
and its value has dropped due to the release in 2016 of an NON-IDENTICAL minifigure
included in the set 5004468. Some may judge the difference insignificant, it
is not for me. When I buy a minifigure, I hope it to meet my expectations. Some
may judge the difference insignificant, it is not for me. When I buy a minifigure,
I expect it to meet my expectations. A simple note "This minifigure has also
been found with the 'c' style head" is, in my opinion, insufficient,
because the difference is for me clearly established between the two minifigures.

I have added
 
Part No: 3626cpb0833  Name: Minifigure, Head Male Brown Eyebrows, Eyelashes, Open Lopsided Smile and Teeth Pattern - Hollow Stud
* 
3626cpb0833 Minifigure, Head Male Brown Eyebrows, Eyelashes, Open Lopsided Smile and Teeth Pattern - Hollow Stud

as an alternate part since this is the way how heads variants (blocked open stud/hollow
stud) are currently handled.

  Thanks for changing it! I have not checked if there were other additional parts
but focused more on the differences I have noted.

What can we do with the other two things?

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1269362

The assembled part is not a big deal but the wrong inventorized minifig is...

Well, the new minifigure and the assembly need to be added to the catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogAdd.asp

Please let us know if you have any questions (but have a bit patience, the Admin
team has just been reorganized).

  
I wanted also update the number of booklets to 11 for the 6464 instruction but
have not find the place to do that?

Link above - Change Item: Set
(BTW. you can also add or change other things there like weight or dimensions
of a set, box, etc.)

However the current maximum number of instructions which can be entered is 9
so I would suggest to do nothing here until the system allows larger numbers.

There is no trans-light blue visor but only dark-blue visors, 1 in the minifig, 1 in the set, 4 are extra parts.

There should be three regular parts, so three are extras. See

http://www.peeron.com/scans/6464-1/6/?id=2922

I have adjusted the quantities.

I would assume there were also some other extra parts in your set?

Bumping this because I got no reply on my previous post. A newish user reserved
this part mineavager01 six weeks ago. It still has the status of 'pending'.

Um, no.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?invPend=Y

I don't see anything that would prevent you from submitting the inventory.



  I would like to know if there's as problem with this part that prohibits
the inventory admins from adding it.
In general I know quite a bit about Minecraft in general and have successfully
contributed a couple of the brick built animals to the catalogue so far .
Ask me, I gladly help!

FYI: Here's a knolling picture of this part which I used to build it.

BrickLink Inventories do not show which parts are needed to build a model but
which parts were included in a set and in the official parts list.
See this help page:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562
"Regular Items - Parts required to build the main model and any secondary models
plus any other parts on the official parts list."

This photo shows the leftover parts after the main model was build, so these
parts were definitely included in the set:

That would be very unusal for a set from 2004. Maybe it is a later copy, but

  Normally I would agree with you about being a quality issue. There have been
some instances where it's almost impossible to tell a 'faded' LBG
from a old light gray.

But you can tell the color difference in these parts from 10 feet away in bad
light. Add in the fact that it's two different molds in the same set, and
they have the exact same color shade... maybe a wrong batch of color mixing in
the molding process?

I agree that it was probably a wrong batch of color mixing, but I would still
call this a quality issue - just a different kind of quality issue than the "normal"
color variation.

Btw. here is one more discussion about that:
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=262307&nID=1174163

Looks like about one year ago TLG was aware of the issue and added replacement
parts to some sets.

  In a large box of loose LEGO, I came across several light gray pieces that I
can't identify the color of. They are from set 41154 and the only gray listed
in the inventory is LBG. The pieces in question are the 1x1 bricks as well as
the 1x2x5 bricks. For reference, the arch, 1x4, and 2x4 are light bluish gray.
The liftarm is very light bluish gray.

I know there is a variance in the light bluish gray, but this is a pretty dramatic
shade difference. And they ALL have the same shade, every 1x1 and 1x2x5. They
are LEGO pieces as I checked the studs and the logo is present.

Any ideas? Or have I overlooked something simple?

Here is a similar case with 1x1 bricks in "too light bluish gray": https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=264511&nID=1183633

It is obviously a quality issue.

  Hello,
I want to take inventory of a new set, freshly released. In this set there are
new parts and new minifigures not referenced in Bricklink. Do you know how to
proceed to carry out this inventory?
Thanks for your help

Maybe have a look at this other discussion:

Where can I report that

Maybe it would be better to create a new set entry for that blister pack set?

Like
 
Set No: RRFR18F  Name: 5k Family Road Race Female 2018 blister pack
* 
RRFR18F-1 (Inv) 5k Family Road Race Female 2018 blister pack
1 Minifigure, 2018
Sets: LEGO Brand: Promotional
for example.

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 3807  Name: Snaptrax S45
* 
3807-1 (Inv) Snaptrax S45
193 Parts, 1 Gear, 2002
Sets: Spybotics

* Change {1 to 2} Part Trans-Clear x165c05 Electric, Fiber Optics Cable 5L

Comments from Submitter:
Sealed set, pic to follow. This correction is not really "correct". I guess the instructions are on the CD-Rom, but this inventory (and 3808 too, I'll bet) is way over on part count because the extras are not broken out.

I see you confirmed the inventory...so did you finally find an undetermined part
in a set?

  There are a lot of stickered or printed part stating the set the come from
at the end of the name, for example
 
Part No: 6636pb218  Name: Tile 1 x 6 with Shell Logo and Red 'V-Power' Large Pattern (Sticker) - Set 8157
* 
6636pb218 Tile 1 x 6 with Shell Logo and Red 'V-Power' Large Pattern (Sticker) - Set 8157
Parts: Tile, Decorated
At what number does it become unsuitable to put several sets in the name.
I've seen some with 2 but rarely any with 3. Also, does anyone have an opinion
if they should stay or be removed? Because I would much rather a cleaner, simple
title. It is annoying that some don't have this in their title, even if they
only have 1 or 2 sets.

Was it not originally announced that there would be some time for sellers and
anyone else to prepare for these changes? How will that work if the final list
is just published right on the day when the changes are made?

And am I seeing it right that there are some additions (especially the category
changes) which were not part of the original list that was published one month
ago? Despite the fact that it was said there would not be any additions to that
list after March 1st?

Please don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate all the time and effort
you and anyone who is involved are putting into this changes. But with that final
(and rather short) list it feels a bit like a missed opportunity and (regarding
the points mentioned above) yet another instance of bad communication. I am therefore
glad that you will adjust the procedure next time.

As for the changes themselves, I'm fine with them with one exeption: I would
suggest to not move
 
Part No: 15397  Name: Plate, Modified 3 x 3 Cross
* 
15397 Plate, Modified 3 x 3 Cross
Parts: Plate, Modified
and
 
Part No: 73831  Name: Plate, Modified 2 x 3 with 1 x 1 Cutout
* 
73831 Plate, Modified 2 x 3 with 1 x 1 Cutout
Parts: Plate, Modified
to "Plate, Modified" as long as
 
Part No: 2420  Name: Plate 2 x 2 Corner
* 
2420 Plate 2 x 2 Corner
Parts: Plate
has to stay in "Plate". I don't care whether these three parts are in "Plate"
or in "Plate, Modified" but it makes absolutely no sense and creates even more
inconistency to have them in different categories.

  Can we please add Chrome Red to the catalog? It's the only Chrome color missing.

Please provide some examples of parts that need this color.

It only comes on two keychains:
 
Gear No: 853303  Name: VIP Chrome Red Minifigure Key Chain with LEGO Logo Tile, Modified 3 x 2 Curved with Hole - White Label
* 
853303 VIP Chrome Red Minifigure Key Chain with LEGO Logo Tile, Modified 3 x 2 Curved with Hole - White Label
Gear: Key Chain
 
Gear No: 5005205  Name: VIP Chrome Red Minifigure Key Chain with LEGO Logo Tile, Modified 3 x 2 Curved with Hole - Yellow Label
* 
5005205 VIP Chrome Red Minifigure Key Chain with LEGO Logo Tile, Modified 3 x 2 Curved with Hole - Yellow Label
Gear: Key Chain

And they are glued, so cant be inventoried, so no parts in chrome red?

At least the arms and legs can be taken off, so it is possible to have singe
parts which would need to be listed in chrome red if you want to sell them.

Btw. this is already mentioned here as part of project 2:
