The inventory has not been completed by the submitter of it. When it is complete,
the inventory will most likely be approved in one to two days by either myself
or Paul.

|
| I'm about to create the Danish/Norwegian version of [G=G31314] in the BL
catalogue.
But I have one question: In G31314, the 14 curved and 6 straight road sections
are claimed to be identical, but the Nordic versions look different. They contain
studs on the road, and all road sections have subtle differences (see example
of two curved sections in attached image). They may be hard to differentiate
by users, so should I just create one part and maybe have a note on it that inform
of the differences, or should every different part be created?

Doesn't work for me either. This happened a few weeks ago. Then all of a
sudden I could enlarge them again. Then a couple days ago, it stopped letting
me enlarge them again. A big pain if you ask me.

I checked the HTML source for when you go through "Market" - "Parts" - "[some-category]"
and there is no "onclick" or anchor or anything, so this is not a browser issue.
By poking around I fond you can get the old behaviour back by changing the URL
of the page. For instance, when browsing the "Accessory, Human Tool" category,
it lands on the following URL:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=990&itemBrand=1000
Now manually change the URL to read as follows (add "Old" in there):
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?catType=P&catString=990&itemBrand=1000
Extremely clumsy, but if you are really needing large pics on those pages.
Niek.

I used to think this until I found Tom Alphin's lego ruler and sorting tool:

One stud is 8mm wide but a plate is 3.2mm high, therefore the size of a 1x1 brick
is 8mm x 8mm x 9.8mm. I have Tom's guide printed and laminated and reckon
that it has saved me a load of time while sorting!

It's been broken for weeks. It doesn't affect all pages, which may be
why some people are reporting the issue and others are not.
It's not browser or OS related so far as I can tell - I've tried three
different browsers on two different OSes and three different computers.
The 'add to wanted list' links are also broken randomly.

It's been broken for a while; there's another thread from a few days
ago about the issue, and I reported it to the helpdesk weeks ago.
The 'Add to wanted list' links are broken in a lot of places too.

That one isn't in the BAM. The BAM versions I have seen all come in a gloveless
form and the buyer adds the glove to it.
|
Is it possible that in German or USA LEGO Brand stores it is sell with glove?
|
I assume the boxes they come in are the same. All the ones I have seen in the
UK have been without glove. Of course, staff or other customers could add the
gloves then leave the assembly.
|
We don't have LEGO Brand Store in Poland so no Pick a Brick or Buil a
Minifigure and I have no idea how it looks like.

I got 5 new ones from the boxes in the storage at US Lego store. They are supposed
to have the glove, but most people rip it off and put them on another figure.

Also it would not surprise me if some torsos are sold without glove, and so it
would be good to have the gloveless entry, as otherwise some sellers might have
to sell them as missing a glove when in reality it isn't.

Can we add years to these. Clearly we know what year these appeared first. Also
it would be nice to note somewhere (item description or sub-category) that these
are exclusive to the Build-A-Minifigure (BaM) station in LBR stores. It will
help to have this information in the future, and the years will make it useful
to place these into some chronological context.

Are we sure that there aren't examples that such item later were used in
normal sets. I do not reckon now such cases when firstly such parts were in BaM
station and later appeared in normal sets but maybe there are such. Then adding
year could be problematic as when parts appear in a set then system add year
automatically and I do not know what bug in the system then occurs
For now we add years for those type parts
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemBrand=1000&itemType=P
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?catType=P&catString=534&itemBrand=1000
The problem is also with normal parts which are in sets but are in colors which
do not appear in sets. Recently were added
in Orange
and
in Bright Light Yellow
There is no possibility to match that they are from BaM station
But for now I added a note for mentioned torso part you can check if it is OK.

This thread is a useful reminder that exemplifies that measurement values without
units creates confusion. I work as a scientist in my day life, and talking about
measurements without units causes same problems.
To the OP, the slope 3684 is 3 bricks tall, which is the same as 9 plates tall
(a brick is 3 plates tall), or 18 Lego units tall (a plate is 2 Lego units).
A good relation measurement is 2x2 brick width is same as 5 plates height, which
means that a 1x1 brick width is 2.5 plates height, therefore the 3684 slope which
is 3 bricks tall = 9 plates height = 4.8 stud widths (12/2.5=3.6). So as you
can see, it makes no sense in referring to this slope as 3.6 stud heights. It's
very confusing. That being said, having units in the dimensions handy, will prevent
further confusions.
Knowing dimensions is very practical when SNOT building, where the orientation
of bricks is placed sideways and combination of upright and sideway bricks.

but the Jack in 70425 has a closed mouth. The other 3 parts are identical.

In our catalog main color is one which is on the part underside
* | | 35074pb02 Bird, Friends / Elves, Feet Joined with Magenta Body and Bright Light Orange Eyes Pattern (Pepper)
Parts: Animal, Air |
That is why bright light orange not Magenta
* | | 42861pb01 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Stormtrooper with Molded Black Forehead, Eyes, Nose, Chin, and Panels on Back and Printed Dark Bluish Gray Marks and Tan Dirt Stains Pattern (Sandtrooper)
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear |
that is why black not white
Dog underside is trans clear.
This is our policy.

Similarly hs001 has a pending approval inventory in which the submitter is unsure
if the White hoodie with a Red cap should be classified as Red or White. Again
the inventory supplied with the set has this as White.
When compiling inventories should we not give greater weight to the Lego parts

And yes the minifigure Jack is identical to the one in 70418-1 J.B's Ghost

Or that the size be formatted as “2 x 1 x 3 (studs x studs x bricks)” or, better,
“2 studs x 1 stud x 3 bricks.”

Fortunately, there is no 3 studs high slope and I believe any MOCers using the

Strangely, part and all its variants looks like to be also 4 studs

Has anyone actually seen this part in a BAM box with the mitt attached? I have
seen multiple of them in three different stores now, and they do not have the
mitt. They have a single hand and a missing hand. You can add either a mitt or
a hand, staff don't care.
So should this be listed with a mitt, given that this is not how it is supplied?
Or at least have a note about this, as not all the torsos will have mitts.

I had this set as a child and don't recall anything like that. And I built
and un-builthe it 100 times.
Probably the consistency and quality control weren't as high back then. I

No, my instructions say 928. But 497 doesn't seem to change anything with

|
| Hello,
In my sealed version of set the connectors are 'Cross-cut'
and not 'Hollow Pin'
The current wire in inventory is this one:
I know wire are on hold for now (project #15)
A) shall I create a new cross-cut connectors wire for 15 studs and modify inventory
(as alternate)?
B) I create inventory request with:
and
I prefer option (A).
As every wire length for same type of connectors are going to grow or reduce
the same size depending of project #15.
For example: if wire 996ac15blue need to be adjusted +1 studs, new wire on option
(A) will also grow +1 studs

What might work faster than reporting it is contacting the seller. Tell them
that you think they made an error in the listing and they should probably fix
it.
For those dishonest sellers who do this on purpose, they're not really helping
themselves. Nobody who wants a new set is actually going to buy one that isn't,
and someone who doesn't mind a used, incomplete set for a better deal is
probably going to hide all new listings. They're basically harming their
own business and are giving themselves a bad name. I'm not going to order
from someone who purposely is dishonest on listings, what else might they be
lying about?

I've run into friends polybags that are the same way. I always try to keep
sets together for resale, but sometimes I'm shocked that its not worth it
for the tiny sets.
I also just finished a Ninjago set recently where the figure was rare-ish and
more than I wanted to pay and I found a seller who had parted a bunch of that
fig out and was able to buy him in pieces for far less than buying the assembled
fig. Its normally the reverse.

"Minifigs - The catalog should only contain minifigs that came in an official
LEGO set or that can be attributed to an official LEGO program, display, activity
or event, regardless of whether the minifig is actually publicly distributed
during or at such program, display, activity or event.
The minifig item should not include hand-held accessories or items defined as
utensils, with the exception of robot winder keys. But do include all other accessories
definable as footgear (flippers, snow shoes, etc.), neckgear (generally defined
as items requiring the removal of the head in order to be placed over the neck,
such as capes, armor, backpacks, etc.) and headgear (hair, helmets, etc.), and
assembled parts serving as such, when these are shown attached to the minifig
in official LEGO set instructions. For instructions with images showing the minifig
in a play scenario, refer only to the portion of the instructions concerned with
assembling the minifig. If no official instructions were produced, then illustrations
on packaging or other marketing materials directly related to the minifig may
be used instead for this guide purpose. (See Exceptions below.)
Minifigs decorated by a sticker may have an entry for the figure without the
sticker applied, and an entry for the figure with the sticker applied. (See Exceptions
below.)
If 2 or more minifigs that came in an official LEGO set are the same except for
different hand-held accessories, do not add another entry for a minifig with
a particular accessory. An example of this would be "Majisto the Wizard with
glow-in-the-dark wand" which should not be added in addition to an otherwise
identical "Majisto the Wizard" entry.
Exceptions:
When the use of set instructions or other official LEGO images provide poor clues
about the precise nature of accessories: For example, numbers printed on neckgear
armor worn by each figure of a series, yet nowhere is it clearly shown which
figure bears which numbered armor. In this case the figures can be added without
neckgear armor. Arbitrarily associating a particular numbered armor with the
other elements of a minifig should not be done.
When the hand held accessory is an integral physical part of the minifig: For
example, the electric light-up figs released beginning in 2005. All the parts
that make up the complete light-up device, including those not integral to its
electric function, should be included as a part of the minifig.
When there is more than one possibility presented within a set for decoration
of the minifig by sticker, a catalog entry should not be created for each variation.
This rule also applies to the Torso and Torso Assembly parts of such minifigs.
For example, some Soccer theme sets have a sticker sheet that allows the builder
to choose from various team insignias and jersey numbers for each player in the
set. If every variation were given an entry, the catalog would be overwhelmed.
The early “stiff” minifigs (1975-1977) were often built into the model and not
shown in a freestanding position. In these cases, a minifig can be considered
a unit without being prescribed as such in the instructions or box images as
long as the four basic parts are present – legs, torso, head and hat/hair."

I guess producing crude oil generates a lot of emissions. But I wonder how much
less emissions their new production process really involves. I guess it kind
of stands or falls with that.
The end result is the same: polyethylene, which is basically a polluting substance.
But that's if you throw it away, of course, and thankfully LEGO is far from
single use. But the amount of parts LEGO pumps out of their machines per day
is staggering and it has to go somewhere eventually.
I would be more impressed if LEGO invested in degrading plastic. Not making parts
that degrade, I mean, but degrading the durable high quality parts with some
special process. I don't know about ABS but scientists already discovered
caterpillars that are able to digest polyethylene. If LEGO had some scheme you
could send in old and broken parts in exchange for some VIP points of whatever,
and they'd degrade or recycle it, then we'd be talking.

No, they couldn’t. Most of the parts are ABS, not PE. Different plastics, different
processes.
PE can be made from ethanol. (Ahoy matey, sugar cane is rum!)
ABS is more complex.

It's the same plastic: Polyethylene. It's just made from fresh plants

Intentions aside, it's kind of fascinating - plants turned into plastic mimicking

Could anyone explain please why are leaflets (instructions) for each minifigure

It seems especially weird, when I saw that someone bought leaflet for percival

while it seems that this leaflet is just pretty the same as all the rest of the

Thx in advance,

It is due to the fact that each collectible minifigure is treated as a separate
set in the BrickLink catalog. Since each set entry in the BrickLink catalog automatically
has an instructions entry added to it on creation, each collectible minifigure
set gets an instructions entry added to it on creation. It would be wrong to
say that each one of these sets does not have instructions included with it,
since each collectible minifigure does indeed come with the leaflet. Therefore,
each collectible minifigure set gets the leaflet as its instructions.
Cheers,
Randy

Thanks Randy, makes sense.
And I would a little bit modify my question then.
Anyone noticed that especially for HP collectables are there some differences
?
From what I found it seems all those HP leaflets are just the same.
But I might overlooked something, so I am curious whether anyone could confirm
they are just the same ?
Thx,
J.

The leaflet is the exact same for most of the collectible minifigure series.
Sorry that I can't speak specifically about the HP ones, but I would highly
doubt that there would be any difference in that series.
Cheers,

That is not true for series 1 up to 15 where all leaflets had a unique numbering,
also most series at least up to series 13 (if not all) had a unique code on them
to unlock the characters on the website https://www.playminifigures.com/ (is
no longer active, was closed at the end of 2016).

| | Hi,
I could not find anything on the topic :/
Could anyone explain please why are leaflets (instructions) for each minifigure
of the series kept separately in the catalog when they seems to be all the same?
It seems especially weird, when I saw that someone bought leaflet for percival
graves for such high price:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?I=colhp-22#T=P
while it seems that this leaflet is just pretty the same as all the rest of the
leaflets from this series....
Thx in advance,

It is due to the fact that each collectible minifigure is treated as a separate
set in the BrickLink catalog. Since each set entry in the BrickLink catalog automatically
has an instructions entry added to it on creation, each collectible minifigure
set gets an instructions entry added to it on creation. It would be wrong to
say that each one of these sets does not have instructions included with it,
since each collectible minifigure does indeed come with the leaflet. Therefore,
each collectible minifigure set gets the leaflet as its instructions.

Thanks Randy, makes sense.
And I would a little bit modify my question then.
