I've just stumbled across this again so apologies for the reply to a post
from April!
In some ways this change has made it harder to find them; for example if you
look at the list of all Star Wars figures and order by "Item NAME", Jabba appears
under "B" rather than "J". I'm sure most people would expect it to be under
"J". This irks me no end!
Can the big figure item names not be changed to be the other way round as suggested
e.g. "Jabba - Big Figure" then they would still be searchable by the term "big
figure" AND appear in the right order in the catalog list so everyone's happy.
Thanks for your consideration.

You keep focusing on a part of my comment that was meant in jest. It was an attempt
at humor as an inside joke to Marek, because Marek is the one who inventoried
the second Watto minifigure, he is a Star Wars fanatic, and he is the one on
our admin team who deals with the Star Wars stuff and likes to make sure that
variations get their due. I don't know why you keep trying to spin it as
something that was meant in a negative light towards everyone out there.

Intended? I would say that there are unintended print variations throughout the

considering them anomalies or variations. If it's an actual print variation

I'm not interested in a back'n forth, Randy. Just thought I'd give
you the point of view of some of those serious Lego Star Wars collectors you've
characterized, and that I've deal with over the years.
I'm really not that concerned what is done with the catalog, these days.
But it's worth repeating to those that work so hard at it: the catalog has
never looked better!

If we had perfect knowledge, I am sure we would find that other sets had light
gray also. But most of those sets were opened and built and then went to garage
sales and trash cans. The ones that actually get opened and investigated are
a small sample. I have a vintage set on the way that has never been inventoried
before. And plenty of other sets haven't been verified or haven't been
parted out a lot by people who correct inventories.
Manufacturing pieces is one operation and packing sets is another operation and
the people or machines who pack the sets use the parts they have on hand.
It is clear from sets like 9797 and the Star Destroyer that set packers considered
LG and LBG to be the interchangeable until the time came that there were no more
LG parts in the bins. Hygrotus pulled a variant piece from a new set last year
that hadn't been seen in a new set in something like a decade. 32064c should
phase out somewhere around 2005, but Turez found one in a 2008 set. Because
some facility that packs sets still had some.
Frequently when entering PCCs on new pieces, I find something like (I am making
these specific numbers up!) most new PCCs we've been entering for months
are like 6301111 and 6301333 and then a new hair piece comes out with 6271222.
Sets are designed long before they are announced and released and there is no
reason to assume that a piece that didn't get released until 2006 wasn't
produced a few years earlier in some quantities. Some of the Dots elements were
made for Dots and then they decided not to release Dots and some of the pieces
made their way into sets last year. Then they decided to release Dots a year
later. They used those pieces in other sets because they had been manufactured
and were just sitting there. Similarly, LG 56145 may have been produced for
a set that didn't get released and then when they started making the piece
in LBG they used up the LG too. Or maybe when they develop a new part that they
want to start putting in sets, they start manufacturing it in the most obvious
colors, but by the time a designer put it in a set, they had changed over the
LBG, but still had the LG. We really don't know. But I promise you that
I can tell the difference between them and I found what I found. I have not
parted out 20 9797s. But I have parted out 8 of them from 5 different sources.
I have found all 3 heads and both kinds of hats and both kinds of light grays.

Probably not. They probably made it for model shops and then the leftovers got

There never was an argument, was there? The history of LEGO encompasses a lot
more than just the Dacta sets, so you have to have a broader knowledge about
where they fit in the scheme of things. This history includes sets including
mixes of the grays long after the color switch in 2004, the fact that Dacta sets
are sometimes dumping grounds for leftover parts, etc.
| | If necessary, I can send a request to LEGO to see if the 9797 set included parts

Go for it. However, I bet you, I, Jonathan (axaday) and a few others here probably
know a lot more about the set than they do.

A little more information about the configuration of 9797 sets:
Items 41752 and 41753 were included only in the set of 2006, in the future (2009
and 2012) rubbers lay in cardboard boxes.
Part bb0273 could only be included in the 2006 kit along with the x1678 battery.
Part bb0527 could only be included in the 2009 and 2012 set along with the 87662c01
battery.

That hat color is known here as Brittle Blue. You can search that on the forum

A little more information about the configuration of 9797 sets:
Items 41752 and 41753 were included only in the set of 2006, in the future (2009
and 2012) rubbers lay in cardboard boxes.
Part bb0273 could only be included in the 2006 kit along with the x1678 battery.
Part bb0527 could only be included in the 2009 and 2012 set along with the 87662c01
battery.
Regards
Alexei

I bought my 10030 a year after I decided to because I had to wait until I got

it.
I have gotten used to LBG by now. I do like LG better. But on the Star Destroyer,
LBG just isn't right.

This is definitely not true. There are a number of sets during the color transition
era where the old grays and new grays were mixed together in the same set. Please
do some research before making such broad generalizations.

Here is one of the most high profile cases of this:
See the additional note on the set:
"The early production runs of this set featured Light Gray elements but subsequent
production runs have contained varying mixtures of Light Gray and Light Bluish
Gray elements."

I bought and sorted 9797 sets a lot, so I have information about 9797 sets.
Lego released 3 versions of the set in 2006, 2009, and 2012. You can distinguish
the set versions by the LEGO copyright information on the boxes and paper sheets.
The first version of the set (2006) had the following differences:
1 version of NXT - Complete Brick
6538b Black Technic, Axle Connector 2L (Ridged with x Hole x Orientation)
4716 Black Technic, Gear Worm Screw, Long
6558 Black Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise

4019 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 16 Tooth (First Version - 4 Round Holes)
32269 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 20 Tooth Double Bevel
3648 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 24 Tooth (2nd Version - 1 Axle Hole)
x1678 Dark Bluish Gray Electric, Rechargeable Battery 7.4V - NXT, AC plug
The second version of the set (2009) had the following differences:
2 version of NXT - Complete Brick
6538c Black Technic, Axle Connector 2L (Smooth with x Hole + Orientation)
4716 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear Worm Screw, Long
6558 Blue Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise
3647 Dark Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 8 Tooth

87662c01 Very Light Bluish Gray Electric, Rechargeable Battery 7.4V - NXT, DC
plug
Add 55615 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Pin Connector Perpendicular 3 x 3 Bent with
4 Pins

Removed 6035c01 White Electric, Light Brick 1 x 2 with Single Side Light (6034

Gray".

I have parted this set out many times. I did find light gray pieces once.

Thanks for your reply.
I think this is a mistake.
Or the parts were replaced with parts with the color Light Gray (in the used
set). Or the parts are yellowed with time (if the set was sealed).

Jon only parts out brand new sets that have never been opened. If he found light
gray parts, he found light gray parts.
| | If we look in the Bricklink database for details with the color Light Gray (3023,
3894, 3702, 3703, 56145), then we will see that LEGO did not use this color after
2004.
|
They sure did. See https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&colorInSet=9&sortBy=Y&sortAsc=D&catType=S
| | A set of 9797 began production in 2006. The 56145 wheel was not produced
at all in the Light Gray color.
|
It was at some point, and it happened to make it into this set according to Jon.

Aha! Very nice. I understand it now.
But I believe a problem still remains. The system should always default to the
Select Color view, or at least I should be able to tell the system to do that
if that's how I prefer to see things (and it is).
Right now the system appears to default to a specific color only when
the item appears only in that color and all items for sale are in that color.
Otherwise, it appears to always default to Select Color. I would like
it to always default to the Select Color view, or at least for me to be able
to adjust my settings that way.
Thanks very much for helping me understand why this was occurring.

This was put into place in 2015 as a "solution" to the problem of variable color.
However, I would strongly encourage any member serious about using the catalog
to NOT use the inventories page via the tab on the current catalog detail page.
There are many errors / non sequiturs on these pages, which were slapped onto
the catalog page as an afterthought. Use the classic page via the Item Consists
Of link.

I originally thought. Now I'm getting variable results when I click on things.
Perhaps this could be looked into either way.

The nexo shield packs that contain five shields are almost listed like this.
Five shields are listed as regular items, the other ones in the series are listed
as alternates. This way, the regular part count is correct although it does define
some shields as regular and others as alternate when in reality they are random
(for a given colour).

| I want to put forward multiple requests regarding a few Bionicle supplementary
sets.
First issue: the original 18 Bionicle masks come in 6-10+ colors each. However,
most of them only come in one or a few sets, in one or a few colors. The rest
come from "mask packs", where you could get two random masks from a set palette
of colors. Because these mask packs are random, bricklink has them labeled as
"cannot be inventoried", but this means that the majority of official colors
that these parts come in do not show up in the catalog. As a result, many sellers
upload their parts incorrectly, as well as buyers putting them on their wanted
lists wrong.
A particularly strong example of this is the "bionicle mask kaukau". It's
a more popular one, with the trans-neon-orange variant selling for around $12
right now. However, 22 people put trans-orange on their wanted list, and sellers
capitalized on this by uploading them as such. If you look at the price guide
for regular trans-orange, they sell for a whopping $20-40!
I propose that to cut down on confusion, these sets be changed to have inventories
that list only alternate parts, so that the accurate color names show up as suggestions
when people add the parts to their inventories or wanted lists.
If somebody is willing to help me with this, i will gladly supply information
on which parts could be found in each pack. It does get a little confusing, but
bionicle is very well documented
-----------------------------------
Perhaps contradictory to my first suggestion, there are a few bionicle supplementary
sets that have random parts inventories but DO have inventories on bricklink.
Since these sets usually have no exclusive parts, they SHOULD be changed to "cannot
be inventoried", especially since there's no point in selling them unless
they're unopened.
These sets include:
6620-1 Ultimate Accessory Set 500
6637-1 Ultimate Battle Set
6638-1 Ultimate Creatures Accessory Set (Special Edition) 300+ Pieces
8711-1 Master Accessory Kit 702 Pieces
8713-1 Limited Edition 500 Pieces
8715-1 Ultimate Creatures Accessory Set

Yep. You did it perfectly!

There are a couple other items from that SDCC set that now have alternate numbers
as well. Is there a way I can fix the rest of them? I wasn't sure how to
do it. Thanks!

Just fill out this form:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=P
You'll need to check this page to know which sequence number to use:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp?itemType=P&itemNo=42859pb01&v=2
The 7 digit number is called a PCC and it is uploaded with a specific color.

| | Hello,
I recently purchased the "SDCC2018-2: Black Lightning" set. I then went on Brickset
to add it to my collection, but no minifig is listed for the set. I proceeded
to send them a message so they could fix this error, but they told me they rely
on Bricklink for their minifig inventory.
That's why I'm posting a message here. I noticed that there are two entries
for Black Lightning on Bricklink : comcon056-1 for the full set and sh521 for
the minifig. But these two entries are not linked one to another.
Could someone in the admin team link them?
Thanks a lot!

Is the minifig all there is in the set? It doesn't look like there are any
accessories.
If it is just the minifig, go to https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvAdd.asp?viewType=S
Under manual add, type comcon056 and then 1 in number of entries. Then hit "Go
to step 2".
On the next page, change the P to M under item type, type sh521 under item number,
0 under color ID, and 1 under quantity. Further down, set Source? to Sealed
Set Contents and hit Verify Items. On the next page click Add Inventory.
It is pretty easy, but I can't do it for you, because the person who does
it is attesting that they have the item and can verify its contents. So you
can do it.

Thanks very much, just did it!
