That's funny. I just encountered 4 of these:

 
Part No: 4150  Name: Tile, Round 2 x 2
* 
4150 Tile, Round 2 x 2
Parts: Tile, Round

With "X" bottom in Light Bluish Gray in some 2019 sets. I mixed together many
sets so unfortunately, I can't trace which one it's from. But it's
definitely a set from this year. According to the catalog, the part died out
in 2014.

For insight information please look here: http://www.newelementary.com/2019/10/lego-store-build-minifigure-exclusive-bam.html

Questions:
How are these parts 'handled' by the inventory admins?
Since many of these parts do not yet occur in regular sets, what's the BL
policy here?
What should we know when uploading new parts from BaM?

TL;DR
BaM = Build a Minifigure, an option to build a minifig in an official LEGO brand
store. You can choose from a collection of heads, legs, torso's, hair and
minifig utensils. Some of them were never released before in official sets.

I loved the Goatleg search, when it was not attached to BL.

I go to goatleg.com, pick "legs Assembly" and it takes me to BL with a frame
at the top where I can choose the colors to search. There is no box to type
"other descriptions" to help narrow the field (it used to, and it does for torsos).

This is what I get when I searched Black Hips and Black Legs. One item and it
has blue hips.

The old goatleg was soooooo much better!!!! I don't know what happened with
the integration with BL, but it is not the same. It was originally made by 62bircks.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Because there are a TON of legs Black/Black.

I blame BL. To 62bricks, I thank you for helping me with your program. I really
loved the way it worked when it was stand alone.

Hello I found a 75102 X-Wing with Poe Dameron but the helmet is strange. The
visor in not a transparent yellow but an opaque dark part colored in bright yellow.

Hi,

I found an item that is missing from the catalog. I attached the image of it.
It is a dark blue 47753 with a sticker on it. The sticker is from the set: 70730
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=70730stk01&
I checked the instructions for the part and the sticker is applied as needed.

I have a few questions:
- What is the best name to give to the part?
- How to find what is the part number to use? 47753pb???

Thanks,
Tamas

Hello everyone,

 
Part No: 772  Name: Brick 1 x 2 x 2 without Inside Axle Holder or Stud Holder
* 
772 Brick 1 x 2 x 2 without Inside Axle Holder or Stud Holder
Parts: Brick
Marked for Deletion

I came across this brick while checking the inventory of 7623
and I am wondering, does this part variant actually exist? I do not have it in
my collection and I also haven't found a photo showing the bottom (BL doesn't
have one too). Moreover, the quantities for sale are very low. I have asked four
sellers to check this variant. Two of them replied instantly and said their parts
are 3245b/c. One seller didn't answer but moved his parts to 3245b/c and
one seller didn't react at all. Based on that it is very likely that the
other parts for sale are also sorted incorrectly. But I don't know how to
go on with this thing now. How can one be sure that this variant actually does
not exist?

(Yes, there is a printed brick
 
Part No: 772p01  Name: Brick 1 x 2 x 2 without Bottom Tube with Window Pattern
* 
772p01 Brick 1 x 2 x 2 without Bottom Tube with Window Pattern
Parts: Brick, Decorated
but I am talking about the plain variant.)

Anyone know why this happens? I notice the also melt the bricks they are sitting
against, so I'm presuming some sort of chemical reaction.


I'm guessing heat? I've run into this 3 times now one the lots also had
heat warped baseplates. I've never seen it on my own/original lego which
has never experienced a hot garage.


Are they trash? Can I clean them?

I just got some
 
Part No: 2346  Name: Tire 30 x 10.5 Offset Tread
* 
2346 Tire 30 x 10.5 Offset Tread

in light grey and was pretty stoked (only came in 3
sets) and they are awful gooey messes, I have more on the way and I don't
want it to be a total loss. The weird color on a common part is so neat in person.

Thanks everyone

I don't have the correct word to get the catalog to search for large flat
pieces, 32x32 stud for example.
What does the cataolg refer to h=these as?

These warped 2x4 plates have been showing up in some lots I've bought (I've
thrown out about 25 of these during the last couple of months).

They only ever warp in the pip end, and I've seen it only for black, and
never for any other types of plates.

Does anyone know of an explanation?

Hey all,
Has anyone else ran into this? I have a sw0620 Tusken Raider mini but without
the markings on his shirt. He is super mint looking and doesn't look like
they have been removed. I will try to take a pic of him to show. So, has anyone
else ran into this one?? Thanks for any info.

Any reason there are 6 entries for the same sticker sheet? Can the name not
contain all the different sets it comes from?

We have tweaked the Forum / Message macro tags in the following ways:

1) For parts, the color of the image may now be specified by adding a comma and
the BrickLink part number after the Item Number:

 
Part No: 4085d  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085d Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified {Blue}
 
Part No: 4085d  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085d Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified {Medium Blue}
 
Part No: 4085d  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085d Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified {Dark Bluish Gray}
 
Part No: 4085d  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085d Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified {Light Bluish Gray}

2) For sets, instructions and original boxes, the suffix is only needed when
it is not "-1":

 
Set No: 493  Name: Space Command Center (Flatplate version)
* 
493-1 (Inv) Space Command Center (Flatplate version)
161 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1979
Sets: Space: Classic Space
 
Set No: 493  Name: Space Command Center (Craterplate version)
* 
493-3 (Inv) Space Command Center (Craterplate version)
145 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1979

In Tiny Turbo set number 8159 there is a part that is not listed in the counter
parts that has two of part number 61678 together with a black sticker with the
circled number 6 on it. How do I add this to this set so I can add it to my
inventory? Thanks for any help.

* 
60583b Brick, Modified 1 x 1 x 3 with 2 Clips (Vertical Grip) - Hollow Stud
Parts: Brick, Modified
(either version of the 1X1X3 brick.)

The catalog pages for both the brick and the door list other parts that they
are compatible with. I thought that these 2 parts worked together, but from
what I see here, they do not. Perhaps the relationship just hasn't been
added yet? Can anyone tell me for sure if that door will fit into the clips
of that brick?

Thanks,
David

I can't discover anything panel-ish about this part. I'd say it's

What do you think it should be?

I bought a huge bin (approx. 40 lbs. for $40!) of LEGO and am in the process
of sorting the minfigs. So far I am at about 125 that I have positively identified
here in the catalog. I have about 75 more heads and a similar number of bodies
and legs.

Is there a way to say make an Excel spreadsheet that will automatically pull
data from the catalog so I can sort which ones are of value and which ones are
relatively common.

I started a spreadsheet and added a link to each figures page in the database,
but that doesn't help me sort them by value.

Thanks for any help!

I recently bought a huge bin of legos from a friend for 50 bucks. I’m still sorting
and cleaning, but realized these are probably all 15 to 20 years old! I’m desperately
trying to find someone who could help me identify these older pieces. Some of
them I have never seen! I would be more than happy to share with anyone willing
to help. Thanks!

I stumbled today on a few of these flags

 
Part No: 3596pb02  Name: Flag on Flagpole, Straight with LEGO Logo Pattern
* 
3596pb02 Flag on Flagpole, Straight with LEGO Logo Pattern
Parts: Flag, Decorated

in a box that contained other parts in counts that suggest that some of the contents
may have come directly from the LEGO factory. But 4 out of 5 of these flags have
the print on the other side as the image shows.

Is that a known part or should it be considered a misprint?

On the sticker sheet there are 5 small 'MD' stickers: One (with additional
'Danmarks Internationale Mejeri' to be placed at the back of the vehicle,
two (with additional small 'MD FOODS' print) for the doors (parts 3821pb014
and 3822pb014) and one plain 'MD' sticker for the vehicle's front
(part 3010pb132). So there is only one small plain 'MD' sticker left
for the minifig which can be either placed on the front or back of the torso.
Instructions show both variants - on the front page respectively in picture (13).
The catalog lists:
minifig mdf001 as 'MD Foods - White Torso (Sticker on both sides), Green
Legs, White Cap'
torso assembly 973pb0496c01 as 'White Torso MD Foods Logo Pattern on Both
Sides (Sticker) / White Arms / Yellow Hands'
torso 973pb0496 as 'Torso MD Foods Logo Pattern on Both Sides (Sticker)
/ White Arms / Yellow Hands'
So as there are not enough stickers for both sides and it is not obvious from
the instructions which is the correct placement – front or back of torso? - I
would suggest to just remove the term 'on both sides' in the title of
these inventory parts.

I notice that there are now a number of things like this in the catalogue under
GEAR:

[g=ST1]

[g=superman]

What are these meant to be?

Looking at Castle Byers, some people are usnig the listing to sell the set, some
the stickers, some sets with custom stickers, another the set with custom prints,
etc. No-one is actually selling just the instructions!

Is the intention that these should really just be the instructions given that
they come under a category called "Building Event Instructions"?

If so, why are they not listed like normal instructions? Is it because BL does
not recognise these as sets, and properly listed instructions must have sets
to go in?

I remember trying to add the Superman set long ago, and it was denied. But now
it seems the instructions do exist in BL's view, but the sets do not exist.

The strange thing is, when I got my Superman, they were using laser copy / printed
instruction sheets and you could get the PDF if you wanted it, but they did not
have "genuine" instruction sheets.

Lego recently make more and more sets packed in blister packs.
There are even sets packed in two types of packing and being exactly
the same set.

 
Set No: 111901  Name: Garmadon blister pack
* 
111901-1 (Inv) Garmadon blister pack
4 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: Rise of the Snakes
 
Set No: 111901  Name: Garmadon foil pack
* 
111901-2 (Inv) Garmadon foil pack
4 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: Rise of the Snakes
 
Set No: 111902  Name: Wu blister pack
* 
111902-1 (Inv) Wu blister pack
1 Part, 1 Minifigure, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: The Golden Weapons
 
Set No: 111902  Name: Wu foil pack #2
* 
111902-2 (Inv) Wu foil pack #2
1 Part, 1 Minifigure, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: The Golden Weapons
 
Set No: 111903  Name: Kai vs. Wyplash blister pack
* 
111903-1 (Inv) Kai vs. Wyplash blister pack
2 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: The Golden Weapons
 
Set No: 111903  Name: Kai vs. Wyplash foil pack
* 
111903-2 (Inv) Kai vs. Wyplash foil pack
2 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2019
Sets: NINJAGO: Legacy: The Golden Weapons

So we have "polybag" added to names to find easly such sets
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?q=polybag
we have "foil pack"
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?q=foil%20pack

So I added to sets packed in blisters "blister pack" similarly to above, now
they will be easier to find
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?q=blister%20pack

If you find any more such sets please submit change request to add "blister
pack" to the names of them. I could missed some.

Hi

There has been 2 countdown calendars as I know it - one is 40222, there was another
one?
I cannot find it can anyone help?

They are meant to be rebuilt every day, not like the city/star wars calendards,
and were not on sale, but as a bonus on purchase

Hi!

I am collecting for a Museum with Pinball Machines and LEGO® Sets in Neulengbach
(near Vienna AUSTRIA) and figured out, that many LEGO® Education Sets are not
listed on BrickLink (eg 9781-1 MINDSTORMS® FIRST® LEGO® League Start Set with
Mindstorms AND Robolab Software) even thogh I have them. How can I add them?

Also a lot Sets (eg 953009-1 Control Lab Teachers Project Guide) are missing
photos and inventory - how can I add them?

thanks for your answer

Stickered skateboards show up as counterparts in inventories, both with and without
wheels.

I'm about to add a stickered skateboard to the catalog, but I only have time
to add one of the variations. Do either of the variations have a higher priority
for being added to the catalog over the other?
For example
 
Part No: 42511pb09  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Skateboard Deck with Red Apple Pattern (Sticker)
* 
42511pb09 Minifigure, Utensil Skateboard Deck with Red Apple Pattern (Sticker)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil, Decorated
Marked for Deletion
and
 
Part No: 42511c01pb09  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Skateboard Deck with Red Apple on Black Background Pattern (Sticker) with Black Wheels (42511pb09 / 2496)
* 
42511c01pb09 Minifigure, Utensil Skateboard Deck with Red Apple on Black Background Pattern (Sticker) with Black Wheels (42511pb09 / 2496)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil, Decorated
Marked for Deletion

I noticed there are two variants of the 40243 spiral step that behave differently.
On the bottom side, there is a support ridge in the round part that may be located
(see picture):

- Facing away from the step
- Facing toward the step

Both parts have the same code, 40243.

When assembled with the 40244 support axle, with the steps fully spread out:

- The variant which has the support facing away from the step, will have
a part of each step overlapping the previous one (see second picture).

- The variant which has the support facing toward the step - as far I
can tell - will have no (or very little) overlap between adjacent steps.

See third picture, but note only the lowest 6 steps are of the second variant,
because I don't currently have a full set of 8 of them.

All of the steps pictured here are of the old light gray color.

So, does anyone happen to know if particular sets come with a particular variant,
or if it's just random?

Hello everyone,

I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed longtime member BricksThatStick
to the Catalog Associate position. Paul served as the site's 4th Inventories
Admin during 2010 to 2011 alongside Emma (SimplyBricks). He effectively replaced
Dan Jezek, the site's founder, who had a special fondness for inventories
work and who of course left very big shoes to fill.

If you take the time to scroll through Paul's 900+ inventories changes:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?chgUserID=44744&v=3

...you will notice a sea of green, followed by a sea of blue, followed by another
sea of green. This means he continued to contribute to the catalog after having
once been an admin, which is (unfortunately) something rather uncommon. But it
demonstrates a great and correct attitude, the kind of attitude we wish to model
for all of our other contributors out there, especially the ones still cutting
their teeth.

Paul has, over the years, been very active as a seller and many of you will know
him also from his activity in the Forum. We look forward to his practical insights
and we are confident he will play a vital role in our growing catalog team.

Please welcome him back!

Russell

Greetings all...

I had a question regarding the following set:

 
Set No: 4486  Name: AT-ST & Snowspeeder - Mini
* 
4486-1 (Inv) AT-ST & Snowspeeder - Mini
76 Parts, 2003
Sets: Star Wars: Mini: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

Can anyone confirm, who has this set, how many bags are included? I have this
set without the box. It contains 2 bags and the instructions. It looks like
everything is there.

Also, what is the difference between the two sets below, other than the box?

 
Set No: 4486  Name: AT-ST & Snowspeeder - Mini
* 
4486-1 (Inv) AT-ST & Snowspeeder - Mini
76 Parts, 2003
Sets: Star Wars: Mini: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6
[s=4486-2]

Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody,

Hope the post is right here. I found an article that is listed in the wrong category:

3626cpb2423 is listed under "Mini Doll, Head". Should actually under "Minifigure,

Today I received my bought set
 
Set No: 523  Name: Locomotive and Station
* 
523-1 (Inv) Locomotive and Station
46 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1977
Sets: DUPLO: Basic Set

Inside the box
 
Original Box No: 523  Name: Locomotive and Station
  
523-1 Locomotive and Station
Original Boxes: DUPLO: Basic Set
There is two identical boxes with parts inside (look that funny rabbit)

Should I add these boxes as alternate picture of original box 523-1 or add as
a gear inside inventory of set 523-1 ?

-Fred

PS: maybe that box exist in catalog, but I do not find them.

I have just wondering if anyone knew when Lego started putting the part number
on the pieces. I have just found part 3176 which looks fairly 'new'
but has no part number. It just has the numbers 5 and 04 on the underside.
What do these numbers refer to?
Apologies if this has been asked before - I cannot find a thread.
Thanking you all

I'm not super technical and as a kid I was terrible at making anything out
of Technic Lego so in spite of my dad's efforts I quickly abandoned it and
never picked it up again. But I'm seriously wondering if the Technic categories
make any sense at all. I'm not good at the jargon and especially not in English,
but here's my observation:

- There's a category called "Link", which includes belt/chain items as well
as suspension parts. Is that just a random semantic, well, "link" between these
parts?
- It seems like there's a whole family of parts that have to do with driving/gears
- clutches, gearboxes, driving rings, changeover catch.. all of these parts are
scattered across categories but I think they are supposed to work together.
- There's a category called steering but it seems to be about wheel suspension
as well as, well, steers. And then there are suspension arms in both "Link" and
in the generic "Technic" category that I think are equally involved in this stuff.
- There's a generic "Technic" category which includes very random items.
While there was a fanatic impulse of emptying out the "(other)" category, apparently
the "Technic" category is still full of randomness. And it's now the biggest
Technic category (if you don't count decorations). That isn't very helpful
is it?

So... I never used this stuff, but a question to the Technic pros: Do you find
that the Technic categories make sense to you, or is it just a fairly random
division that you just memorised the way it is? Should it be improved?

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
