| | Yes but you didn't read sir.
Now we currently have for the same range
3068bp

3608pb
This is an error.

The error there is yours. You shouldn't be searching "3068bp*".
If you go look, nothing is named that. They just put the old numbers in as
alternates so people who were unaware of the change will be able to find things
labelled with the old numbers. You are aware of the change and should only be
searching "3068p*".
| | If 3068b doesn't exist anymore ALL the 3068bp should change to 3068p
|
They did. You are finding the same pieces in both searches, except the "bp"
search will omit new ones going forward and also the peeron, LDraw, and I guess
Star Wars ones.
| | But old tiles are under 3068bp.
|
Only in their alternate numbers.
Yes

| | Hello,
probably I'm not the first person to point this out but there are a lot of
2x2 printed tiles listed in the wrong way.
I suppose the part code is 3068b, so all the printed tiles should be 3068bp*,
but many are 3068pb*
Like : https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3068pb2361&in=S
I believe that this is an error.
Can you confirm me?
Because when searching 3068bp*, as it should, many do not appear.
|
3068apb are old, old ones without groove.
3068p are printed ones that were described by LDraw before Bricklink was created.
Dan used their designations to harmonize and gave them credit.
3068px are printed ones that were described by Peeron before Bricklink was created.
Dan used their designations to harmonize and gave them credit.
3068pb are printed ones that were described on Bricklink after creation.

In one photo on the catalog they look orange. When you click the photo, they
look Nougat. I placed an order recently from a fellow Canuck, and received arms
that definitely looked more orange than nougat. Is this a known issue?

Nougat is a pretty orange color, but I don't think you'd mistake them.

Are those nougat hands? They look more like light nougat, but all of this is
very hard to tell on a camera phone.

There is nowhere to confirm, other than the order. I'm not saying a glitch
is impossible, but there is no normal, intended way for a customer to buy something
at a lower price than you listed. The most likely scenario is that you entered
a different number than you intended.

We definitely could have talked about it on the catalog panel if the catalog
panel had EVER been consulted about this.
|
The catalog panel was informed of this merge project months before it was announced
publicly. But the purpose of the panel is to bring community voice to the development
team, not contribute to catalog policy.
|
Unless there was a meeting I missed somehow, I do not recollect that we were
informed of this project or asked to give any input or suggestions. There was
a brief mention that there was a variant project but no details or timetables
were ever given. Considering that many people on the Panel were among those who
expressed surprise and dismay when this was all introduced, I would think that
those meetings would indeed have been an ideal place to breach the subject with
the members at large.
|
The only thing I recollect is talking about the need to tackle the variants on
the catalog, but nothing specific, I must have missed it too.
| |
| | We do address catalog policy when it comes up, but it's definitely a sideline
issue, as are all issues that relate to other BrickLink teams, like Marketplace
and Studio. Panel meetings are not the place to debate proposed variant merges.
The Forum is, and there was plenty of debate and even opportunity for more debate.
|
Perhaps it was not the place to discuss the exact specifics of each part being
looked at. But it would have been good to know how the project would be introduced
and carried out. We are supposed to be looking out for the community and sharing
out expertise after all.
Thanks,
~Jen

He only claims that we were informed of the project and that is the truth. We
were told that it existed.

32064b could go on a hollow stud. I would have spoken up on it, but I didn't
realize it was on the block.

There went a double handful of my catalog work and all the give-a-darn that I
had stockpiled. I think I'll go touch grass and see if it is everything
people talk it up to be.
