do you think it should have its name changed??

It is because the person that did the work to add it to the catalogue added the
search terms, maybe to help searching or maybe in case they do another version
in future.
You can submit a change request if you want to, but you'll need to give a
reason why you think it is better to remove the extra terms.

You think that’s bad? Check the names for the Spider-Man 2 Doc Ock figs. They
don’t describe the figure at all. The names make no sense for the particular
figures.

| Okay thanks for that help
Are there any rules I need to follow? I dont want to be banned for uploading
poor photos or anything. I presume there is a moderation process?

Jared

I was just wondering how do I go about changing, updating the Bricklink catalog

You can add minifigure images here:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=M
Bear in mind images need to be quite small to be accepted. This can often make
a nice and clear high res picture significantly less clear once resized.
|
Crop/Resize to 600 x 800. Straight, front view with white background is preferred.
Inset showing reverse faces is appreciated.

Isn't more detail better than less?

Why? Is there a reason to include one but not the other? Or just that nobody

It's because you can easily destroy this assembly trying to separate it:
whereas the assembly with the larger 2 x 2 plate on top is easily separable.
|
I respectfully disagree. The larger plates also easily damage the assembly. I
believe the reason it is not in the catalog is due to the nature of how the hinge
can be built with the large top plate. We would need two entries for every one.
One with the plate facing forwards and one with the plate facing backwards. Both
of these techniques are used in official sets.

Who knows the reason? Probably nobody.
The whole thing with the assemblies for 3937/3938 was a really wacky idea by
some catalog admin that makes almost no sense. I guess some sellers with used
parts do utilize these listings, so there is some tiny bit of logic in creating
these catalog entries. One lame reason given is that these parts are supposedly
not easy to separate after being assembled. These parts have never come from
the Lego factory assembled, yet the BL catalog contains the long list of assemblies
of various color combinations.
Contrast this with the elimination of part 3830c01.
This was a catalog entry that was in heavy use by sellers for years and utilized
thousands of times, yet was eliminated for some wacky nonsense reason. One lame
reason given is the these parts are easy to separate after being assembled.
Another lame reason offered is that the component parts never came from the Lego
factory assembled.
And YET -- we have the opposite catalog position on one type of assembly
versus the second example. So there is no consistency of policy for the catalog.
I consider the whole situation ass-backwards: the most useful listing 3830c01
eliminated but a whole slew of mostly silly listings for 3937/3938.

You can say that again! I got in a 25 pound box of "assorted Lego pieces" for
very cheap. Turns out they were almost entirely Bionicle and Hero Factory. So
many little pieces, so similar, and yet tiny little differences, like flat vs
round ends, angled legs on the ball joint holders vs straight, open sides vs
closed. Driving me nuts!
|
Honestly, bionicle is a pain to learn. Your best bet is to figure out what sets
are there in partial, and then part out those sets so you don't mix up the
variants. I made a number of mistakes when I started out doing bionicle
Also check all the ball joint connectors for cracks.

They're both legit LEGO parts, just two different molds that were made during
different years:
The orange one has rounded ends, and was made for sets between ~2004-2008:
The black one has squared (or 'flat' ) ends, and was made for sets between
~2008-2010:
That mid-to-late-2000s Bionicle phase of LEGO was a real wild one for parts &

made more standard so a lot of "older" parts don't have the lego logo or
