The one or two digit numbers indicate molds and mold cavities in the actual machine
that creates the parts from liquid plastic injection. As far as what year TLC
started putting part numbers on the parts themselves, I'm afraid I do not
know.

Part number such as 3001 for a 2x4 brick ? Certainly the older CA parts had that,
so it must have been in the earliest days.

The CA parts did have mold numbers (5 04) but not the part number (3176)

If I remember correctly, around 1985.

  Just to add to the never-ending "identify this part" questions, it's now
been semi-officially confirmed that LEGO has created exclusive elements for the
BaM (Build a Minifgure) bins in LBR stores. I'm sure this will give more
people headaches for authenticating parts, since they will not appear in any
inventories. Looks interesting though, and I hope they keep introducing new
elements.

It looks like there are other exclsuive parts that are going to cause some confusion.
These pics are on eurobricks. Look at the vampire torso, very similar to Lord
Vampyre's but a different colour waistcoat and tie. So a BAM exclusive that
will probably be confused with an existing one.

The spiderwoman - look at the large spider print, it used to be located lower
and was printed across the torso and dress. So that's another two parts very
similar to existing ones from sets but exclusive to BAM.

that the Technic categories make sense to you, or is it just a fairly random

I sometimes have trouble guessing where something is, but the categories aren't
too long and I have memorized some things that were hard before.

It could definitely be improved.

Just call it all technic.

  I have added the contents of 49595, a-g, for catalog submission but do not have
images since BL requires minimum sizes and I only have smaller images which I
could not upload.

I am asking that the items be allowed to be added without the photo or allow
the smaller image as having a photo does not seem to be a prerequisite considering
the vast number of empty cape boxes that are being added without photos.

(I'm not questioning why empty cape boxes are trending in the new items added
category, everyone has a thing)

Thank you for your consideration in adding without photo or feel free to add
the photo without me

- Big B

Sorry but they won't be approved without images. General rule is that almost
(because there are some exeptions of course) every item to be approved need to
have image.
Exeptions are:
1) torso for torso assembly - because when you have torso assembly submitted
with image you know how the torso without arms and hands looks like as the print
is the same as in the main torso assembly entry,
2) stickers sheet but only when correct information is submitted in description
so it have to be design id number printed on stickers sheet entered to describtion
by submitter (without it and without image stickers sheets won't be approved),
3) carboard sleevs as they looks the same they just differ by number printed
on it and this number is in description and part number.

From help page (Adding images https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=87):
"Item and image submissions are accomplished separately on different pages. You
do not need to wait for a submitted item to be approved and in the catalog before
you submit images for it. You do not need to be the item's submitter.
The item must simply have been submitted before any image upload is possible.
We encourage image submission to follow as soon as possible after item submission
because an image can help catalog administrators evaluate the item submission.
For more information on item submission, see Adding Items."

So always can sombody elese add images to pending items which are without it.
We wait a month after that period items without images are deleted from pending.

I promise not to have a conniption if anyone takes the initiative.

Although I’m usually clueless to the subtleties here in the forum, I don’t get
the “Inviting trouble” title. I can’t see how. I assume it’s referencing your
second comment of not having an issue if someone “takes the initiative”, as in
inviting competition for you and goatleg.com?

Regardless, it’s good to hear from you again, Mark.

Your inviting trouble remark, brings to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg-1qW2xAU4

The programmer only asked for €13 for the tasks I gave him but I added a tip,
considering that programmers are usually too expensive and too busy

Possibly you should be made aware that Bricklink considers its part names and
numbers to be its own proprietary information, and that using them on your own
commerce site might draw unneeded problems. They have taken action at least once
in the past to require another site to stop using the Bricklink part numbers.

As a result, other sites choose to come up with their own part numbering system,
or they use the LDraw names and numbers, which can be used freely with the proper
attribution.

Of course many BL numbers are the numbers actually molded on the parts by LEGO,
and these are probably safe to use. Also, many BL part names and numbers are
from LDraw. These should also be safe to use.

Thanks for the advice. Actually I'm not "using" Bricklink part numbers -
my sync system just needs to know what is what, so for that part, it's essential
that my software is able to "speak Bricklinkish" - I imagine that's the same
for BrickOwl and for Brickstock. I don't use it in the shop itself for the
customers. Names/descriptions I'm not using at all, I've described them
in Dutch (which was the most exhausting part of the job )

I'm eager to hear more about your webshop. As far as I've understood
you've been dreaming about it for quite some time now, and finally your on
the way. Do you have something to show? Screenshot? Do you have a markedplan?
How do you decide which features to add? How big development team have you managed
to put together?

Good luck

Thanks! You're right! Someone I know put me on the right track with a content
management system that's featured in my hosting package. I'm essentially
able to do it all by myself, thanks to the versatile system, a bit of programming
skills I do have, and €20 I spent on a programmer to tweak some things It
has been a huge amount of work so far, 1. tweaking the store, 2. writing software
that turns inventory files that I download from Bricklink into the format I need,
3. writing an entire database of all parts and 4. finding rights free pictures
of everything. I really don't want to take anything from Bricklink that was
given by contributers and isn't mine, so I'm really working like crazy
these weeks

I won't go sharing much of it, as I don't want to border on inviting
to buy outside of Bricklink. But anyway my main idea is to make a very white,
minimal site with good overview, and make it all Dutch. I'm going to try
to focus on the Dutch market, since I believe there's an untapped market
there for people who aren't insiders but would buy from a friendly accessable
webstore they can understand easily, and use the payment method they're comfortable
with that isn't featured on Bricklink. Also, having my own store means I
can go and advertise it everywhere. That's alot better than constantly having
to tell people that my store is on some platform called Bricklink.

I don't know if I'm right. I could be wrong, but if so, it'll just
mean one wasted summer If I am right, I could be having some great business
and stability for many years to come. But probably I will be having to boost
my inventory alot more in order for my store to be significant enough by itself.
I hope hierachical category system and independent filters for many part properties
are going to be selling points.

I was willing to gamble some €2000 on having someone build me a store, so if
everything fails, I'm fine with just having wasted a lot of time and still
have all my money - except from the €20

Here you can check how frequently item numbers are changed
all logs from the beggining of Bricklink
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReqList.asp?nID=&viewDate=Y&viewType=E&viewStatus=A&viewAction=I
In this time was 23844 changes in numbers
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogLogs.asp?utm_content=subnav

Thanks Marek, that's useful! Looks quite intimidating anyway, all those changes.
I've now put a module into place that recognises "new" parts that have new
part numbers but are linked to previously existing LotIDs in my inventory. It
then adds the new part and updates the lot with the old part number to zero quantity.
I think that should do the trick

I'm eager to hear more about your webshop. As far as I've understood
you've been dreaming about it for quite some time now, and finally your on
the way. Do you have something to show? Screenshot? Do you have a markedplan?
How do you decide which features to add? How big development team have you managed
to put together?

Good luck

Those can change as bb... are replacment bricklink numbers when part number is

I imagine most parts now have the correct numbers but minifigure can change,
like the extra 0 in SW figs.

Yes, I noticed some added 0's in the pattern numbers of some parts, because
the Bricklink number did not match with what Rebrickable thought was the Bricklink
number. I wonder how regularly such things happen. If it's a rare thing then
I should be fine just whiping and reuploading my entire webshop once in a while,
but if it's regular I should think of some way to update these items specifically.

  Hi everyone,

I found a torso with a Lego logo print on it's back - it's not on bricklink.
How should I add this torso? Is it an alternate? Or is it already in the catalog
and I can't find it?

It's this one (with Lego logo on the back):
 
Part No: 973p63c01  Name: Torso Space Robot Pattern (Spyrius) / Black Arms / Red Hands
* 
973p63c01 (Inv) Torso Space Robot Pattern (Spyrius) / Black Arms / Red Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

Indeed, it seems to be a keychain figure, thanks both of you!

I was able to remove the head, so I didn't check further, but the legs are
stuck to the torso and if you look "closely" you can see a hole at the top of
the head and also at the top of the torso's neck (where the keychain was).

Thanks!

I think you'll find that the figure cannot be taken apart, looks like a keychain

Hi,

minifigures from key chains have the Lego logo on their backs. So you have probably
this one:

 
Gear No: 9408  Name: Spyrius Key Chain
* 
9408 Spyrius Key Chain
Gear: Key Chain: Space: Spyrius

I've added some items / pictures, but how can I request a merge of both entries?

Strangely enough, someone else already did. Just a bit before you.
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1154134

The pieces were submitted by Hygrotus and I and we both watch all the incoming
things in the catalog and neither of us noticed it. And then they sat there
for a couple of months and then two people noticed a couple hours apart.

Hehe

I was looking for the torso with goatleg, found the one from cty1022, then I
looked further for some legs (970c00pb0718) and noticed that the minifigure (njo355)
with those legs has the same torso, although BL says that the previous one only
appears for one minifigure (cty1022).

But at least they are both priced nearly the same, so merging them shouldn't
be an issue I guess

I have 3 of them and they are either really good fakes or they are really Dark
Gray. The problem is Bricklink says they don't exist.

This is a picture of them on a Dark Gray 6x8 plate.

Anyone have any ideas?
thanks,

I got these and have the regular edition

Here's a thread on Eurobricks about this train. There's mention of some
sets being packed with the wrong color bars, so maybe that was this piece.

Unfortunately, it was too long ago for me to remember.

  So Bricklink doesn't list them? Only Peeron does? I just realized that after

  Hi, these are not actual LEGO pieces, they are simply packaging pins to hold
tracks together for shipping. They pin 4 or 6 tracks in a stack.

  I'm wondering if any of you have come across Dark Gray Patio Umbrella Stands?
I have 3 of them and they are either really good fakes or they are really Dark
Gray. The problem is Bricklink says they don't exist.

This is a picture of them on a Dark Gray 6x8 plate.

Anyone have any ideas?
thanks,
Eileen

So Bricklink doesn't list them? Only Peeron does? I just realized that after
I typed my last message.
