Thoughts?

Those big plates with the big round hole in them only comes in dark bluish gray,
so I'd say the majority of this lot is dark bluish gray.

Not very easy to say without a reference but there’s a plate that looks more
olivey on the upper left, so I’d say most of it is DBG but there’s DG in there
too.

Hi there,

Can someone please enter the correct weight of instruction booklet 6624 Delivery
Van. Due to Bricklink catalog the weight of this booklet is 55 grams, but it
should be 3 grams.

Thank you.

Another issue might be sticker sheets that come with gear sometimes have the
same numbers on different sheets. I guess these can have A's and B's
added if needed.

Thank you

Why don't you put all items into a stockroom.
This way the inventory is still there with the prices and you can just go in
and change the quantity and then move it back into a store item.

If you still want to delete your inventory, the location to do this is in the
same place.

On your inventory page
https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp

Click on the category box.

Then click on "Change availability status" radio button and then click on the
"to Stockroom Item" button.
(If you do want to delete your entire inventory, there is a delete items button
as well)

Make sure to click on the "submit changes" button on the bottom of the page.

tried changing it in the inventory (no luck since its a minifig entry) so cannot

tried the minifig, but that can't have alternate parts,


why does this have to be so hard?
trying to add to the catalog seems to be a 1 time thing for me now, since it's
already taking me 30 minutes to do this, and nothing has happened,

Minifigures can't have alternate parts. So an alternate minifigure needs
to be added to the catalog. That new minifigure can then be added as an alternate
to the set inventory.

I'll state the obvious: put the color in the description field, not the color
field.
Clear carrier
White carrier
Silver carrier
etc.

I guess most people don’t change the default sorting but it’s nonetheless a welcome

Just for scale, and I probably should have included this in my original message,
here are the duplicate listings (not including NA/Int):

Sheet appears in 2 sets: 95 instances of occurrence
3 sets: 21
4 sets: 5
5 sets: 2
6 sets: 6
8 sets: 2
10 sets: 1
11 sets: 1
12 sets: 1
13 sets: 1

If they were as suggested, not a part any longer, that would not be an issue.
A dedicated section like instructions or sets... sticker sheets?

Or is this messing with the database and too much to accomplish?

there is a difference, keep them separate.

I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear yours - especially those of you who've
given this some thought over the past decade or so that some of us have wanted
it.

Sticker sheets are handled quite consistently at the present moment. How can
we retain that consistency while eliminating duplicate entries with the least
amount of disruption?

As a side note, how do you feel about the NA/International duplicate entries?
These are the same sticker sheets, but have different item numbers, differently-sized
paper backing, and in some cases a slightly different finish (matte vs. glossy).
I don't want to get too distracted with this particular side discussion,
but do we need to maintain separate catalog entries for these sheets? Do you
want us to?

Looking forward to hearing some discussion and seeing some ideas other than my
own to get these duplicate entries handled.

I'm sure many here know, but for those that don't, Bret has specialized
in Lego sticker sales in the past, and has more knowledge on the topic than most.
A voice to listen to in this.

Seller too. The going price for the same sticker might be higher on a different
listing and you might not even know.

Yes, true. It also increases the number of people looking for the one you list
as, although of course also increases the number of competitor sheets being sold.

  1) I wouldn't eliminate duplicates because it makes sense to have 4444stk01
and 4445stk01 even if they are the same.

From a buyer's point of view, I don't think it does make sense. If a
sticker sheet has come in five different sets, then you have to look at five
different listings if you want to know the going price / best price or availability.
If you have one on a wants list then you might miss it completely in a store
if a seller has one of the other numbered but exactly the same sheets.

  1) I wouldn't eliminate duplicates because it makes sense to have 4444stk01
and 4445stk01 even if they are the same.

From a buyer's point of view, I don't think it does make sense. If a
sticker sheet has come in five different sets, then you have to look at five
different listings if you want to know the going price / best price or availability.
If you have one on a wants list then you might miss it completely in a store
if a seller has one of the other numbered but exactly the same sheets.

I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear yours - especially those of you who've
given this some thought over the past decade or so that some of us have wanted
it.

Sticker sheets are handled quite consistently at the present moment. How can
we retain that consistency while eliminating duplicate entries with the least
amount of disruption?

As a side note, how do you feel about the NA/International duplicate entries?
These are the same sticker sheets, but have different item numbers, differently-sized
paper backing, and in some cases a slightly different finish (matte vs. glossy).
I don't want to get too distracted with this particular side discussion,
but do we need to maintain separate catalog entries for these sheets? Do you
want us to?

Looking forward to hearing some discussion and seeing some ideas other than my
own to get these duplicate entries handled.

1) I wouldn't eliminate duplicates because it makes sense to have 4444stk01
and 4445stk01 even if they are the same.

2) No strong opinion on Intl/NA versions, but more inclined to lump them together
(as in don't mantain separate catalog entries).

3) Sticker shouldn't be a Part! In my opinion Should be treated as Instructions
or Original Box.

4) Thank you!

Are they still doing separate sheets for North America? It has been a while
since I have seen new ones, but maybe people stopped fussing with it? Or I got
numb?

I don't see a NEED for separate listings for NA on its face, but eliminating
them complicates my preferred solution to the other part, which is adopting the
5 digit number on the sheet as the item number. The name being "Sticker Sheet

Well can't you add one number as the ID and the other to the alternate ID
as with some parts?


  for 40175 40176" may not get too cumbersome. I don't know how overused some
sheets are. But "40175-40176-40177stk01" is not a fun item number.

Stating if the sheet is complete or incomplete would be useful for the price
guide.

Sticker sheets that appear in multiple sets are an issue possibly the number
should be the first set that used that sheet, any subsequent set that uses the
same sticker sheet could be referenced back to the first set or sheet number.

Would the part number need to be that long if it is used that way? If it first
appeared in set 40175, call it 40175stk01. If it appears in lots of sets at the
same time, use the lowest set number.

Although I am not against using a number actually on the sheet to identify it,
it is often the first thing to type in if you are unsure of what you have. That
should also be searchable.

As far as I know, all duplicate sticker sheets before 90s were exactly the same,
like
Match #602
So for those, the number of the relevent sets should appear in the name, like..
Sticker for Sets 1966, 6373, 6377, 6391 - Sheet 2, 5 White Window Stripes

but "Sheet 2,5" should then be removed.

Many thanks for starting this! My preference would be to eliminate the NA/international
entries for consistency, maybe notes could be used to mention differences and
sellers could specifiy in listings if they wish. I'd also like to see used/incomplete
tags for part sheets, again where sellers specify in the listing what is actually
included or missing.

I think the same as Robert and yorbrick

I did not design this website or the way it's intended to function.

Nor do I have any significant input on the way it will operate in the future,
at least from a design standpoint.

But we can talk about all this in further detail if/when the dimensions project
occurs.

The primary purpose for including stud-size dimensions is so that builders will
know the size of a part that they may not own and how that part would fit (or
if it would fit at all) into a MOC.

So stud-size dimensions have a legitimate purpose. If I'm building something,
I don't want to pull out a tape measure and start counting millimeters to
decide if a part I like (but don't own) will fit where I need it to fit.

But stud dimensions can be in the title...?

Personally, I'd like to see duplicates removed. If a sheet appears in one
set then call it "Sticker Sheet for 10001". If it then appears in another set,
call it "Sticker Sheet for 10001 10002". For NA/International sheets, a single
entry is fine for me unless there are actual differences in the stickers on the
sheet.

I'd also like to see the word sheet go in there, to indicate that these should
be sticker sheets as supplied by LEGO, and not stickers removed from sheets and
applied to parts. Plus while we are at it, incomplete sheets should not be allowed
to be listed under the complete sheet listing unless the system is changed to
allow incomplete items to be excluded from searches / price guide.

That's true if the stud size dimensions are accurate; but when something

But by looking at the picture it is very easy to determine what is meant by the

more dimensional size to it but at least you can know the general size.

Okay, the picture.
And tt’s somewhat okay to have only “1 x 1” within the description because it’s
followed by a “with…”, but what help is “1x1” in the size field?

The description field doesn’t give you the real size at all.
The picture doesn’t give you a useful approximation.
And were the size field filled this way (1x2), it would be useless.

True, but in terms of discovery...search...if you want to find something that's
1x1 and you find all these other things: 1 1/3, 1.4, 1 1/8, how useful is that
set of results?

Now granted, the whole search mechanism and the whole database need to be addressed,
but either the data is correct or it is incorrect. Sort of correct, sometimes,
in some instances, if you look at a picture, and so on...that's just noise
to be sifted through. So the results are useless or nearly useless.

Folks have settled for this dog poop data here for so long, they've become
accustomed to or accepting of it. And there's no need. These things can be
fixed now...at least to some degree. Everybody has their own kludge. Nobody should
need one.

If you take this part as example

2383 Electric, Light 1 1/8 x 2 x 1 2/3 Cabinet with Lamp Holes (Sign Back)
Parts: Electric, Light & Sound

Size: 1.12 x 2 x 1.67 in studs
Description: 1 1/8 x 2 x 1 2/3

Searching "1.12" or "1.67" will not return this part.
It return the same result as "1 12" or "1 67"
The search form replace '.' with ' '

Okay, thanks.

And that’s also another example of the description containing the size but in
another for (fractions instead of decimals). So the more I look into the size
field and the less it’s useful.

(I can’t test if it is because I don’t know of a part that would have a size
field without having the dimensions also repeated in their description. So if
I search a dimension, I can’t tell if the part was found by its size or by its
description.)

This size field is exactly what mfav was talking about for the reforging of the
description: dimensions should be one (or three) of the closed-valued fields
that should replace the free-valued description field.

If there are stud size dimensions, relegate them to the description field until
such time as there is a database rethink. Populate the dimensions field...systematically...x,
y, z...in mm...and that ought to go some way towards sorting out the volume calculations
for shipping and whatnot, wouldn't it?

My two cents towards more fully developing roadmap #7.

Also, why are some things 1 x 2 and other things 2 x 1? That's confusing
as all get out.

There shouldn't be any parts in the catalog with millimeters or centimeters
in the dimensions field (only everything else but parts). If you know of any
items in the Parts item type that use something other than stud-size dimensions,
then these need to be corrected.

It's confusing to many people. This is what the catalog has been operating
off of, pretty much unchanged, for two decades:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=261

Even in my new catalog help pages, I struggled with the topic. The new page
is frankly not much better:

I figured so. I tried an assortment of item numbers using the numbers you gave,
but to no avail.

  
 
Part No: 15070  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Tooth Vertical
* 
15070 Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Tooth Vertical
Parts: Plate, Modified

So that part is one of the parts that exists in a non-standard size, meaning
a size that is not easily measured in stud dimensions. Another way to look at
it, as has been done in the past, is that it makes little sense to have stud-size
dimensions for parts like this.

For some of these parts dimensions were added in the past. Sometimes the dimensions
were added for the base only (as in this case) and at other times dimensions
were added based on the base + attachment (as you suggest should be done here).

For tens of thousands of other similar parts, stud-size dimensions simply weren't
allowed. In fact, 28,000+ parts in the catalog lack dimensions for this reason.

This is a known issue that needs to be addressed and is item seven on the roadmap:

which I found by going to animal, land and typing "cat, " then scrolling.

Should all be Tooth or all be Toothed ?



Or maybe just left alone, and I use better search practices like "saber-t*"

  or just "tiger"

My formatting was garbage and you can't edit a post, so here is a replacement.

The animal's name is smilodon, but saber-toothed tiger is a generally accepted
substitute. Not saber-tooth tiger. Unfortunately, those minifigs come from a
set named "Saber-Tooth Tiger Tribe Pack".

+1 figured that was the case on the figs

There's a lot to consider.

1. should a piece be restricted to its original part number? If 3713 is superceded
by 6590, which is superceded by 42798, should those subsequent numbers become
official parts, or are you going to continue to collectively house all those
different flavors of the same part under a single number?

Note: http://v4ei.com/brickref/3713-variants.php

I don't know if those are all actually 3713, or by the time you get to the
fifth one if that's actually a 6590 or what, but...one one hand if you're
wanting to research and find the actual part (or as reasonably close to the actual
part) that came with a set, and you have the instructions, and the instructions
say 6590, then you want a 6590. On the other hand, if you're making a thing
with the grandkids, it really doesn't matter. There's a "continuum of
relevance" there that needs to be addressed.

2. http://v4ei.com/brickref/30104v69109.php

Those ought to go on the list to be split if they aren't already. 30104 and
69109 somewhere along the line are decidedly different parts. I don't know
if there's a 136mm 69109 or a 128mm 30104, but having one entry for items
with two different numbers and functional differences ought to be separated.

3. Whatever you decide to do with the variants, it's pretty clear to me that
they need to be investigated in greater detail to have sufficient understanding
of a part before being able to make an informed decision.

4. It would be nice if the points considered in making the decision were noted
on the parts' pages and all relevant parts are cross referenced with links.

which I found by going to animal, land and typing "cat, " then scrolling.

Should all be Tooth or all be Toothed ?



Or maybe just left alone, and I use better search practices like "saber-t*"

  or just "tiger"

A quick Google search returned that Saber-Tooth isn't a thing. It looks
like the proper name is Sabre-Toothed Cat/Tiger.

  Not saber-tooth tiger. Unfortunately, those minifigs come from a

My formatting was garbage and you can't edit a post, so here is a replacement.

The animal's name is smilodon, but saber-toothed tiger is a generally accepted
substitute. Not saber-tooth tiger. Unfortunately, those minifigs come from a

I did note there would be pain associated with the proposal. Thus the question
mark in the title.

We’re finally getting three asp pages rewritten, so maybe the logjam on the dev
side is breaking. Lobby for a better underlying database structure. If you get
that, then cross site labeling issues become moot.

I’d like to see all the nonsense labeling of decorated parts go, too. That should
be an auto increment process handled by the database, not the arcane manual search
process with b p c x and whatever else gets thrown in there with the kitchen
sink.

Real improvement will look like pain for a while. In the end it is probably a
wash. You can have a big knife cut once, or ten paper cuts a day forever.

Certainly agree with the radical rethink. That also becomes a non issue with
a better underlying database.

I’m arguing for consistency in presentation and labeling at the moment, as those
things are achievable within the current structure.

Good idea and I added it to the roadmap (currently project 36):

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476

However, there are some things to consider here. First is that the a/b/c letters
are generally intended to indicate the chronological appearance of part variants.
Some have been intentionally switched in the past solely for the purpose of
indicating chronological order.

That order may or may not correspond with the axle hole appearance order, so
the renumbering will present issues. But the renaming should present no difficulties.

An additional issue with renumbering is the discord it causes for other websites.
Like it or not, at this point in time BrickLink generally sets the standard
that other sites follow and renumbering items must take this into consideration.
I personally would very much like to get rid of the mess of old item numbers
brought over from Peeron and who knows where else:

 
Part No: 3068px9  Name: Tile 2 x 2 with Map Blue Water, Yellow Land, Black Letter X Pattern
* 
3068px9 Tile 2 x 2 with Map Blue Water, Yellow Land, Black Letter X Pattern
Parts: Tile, Decorated
 
Part No: 3068p68  Name: Tile 2 x 2 with M:Tron Logo Pattern
* 
3068p68 Tile 2 x 2 with M:Tron Logo Pattern
Parts: Tile, Decorated
[P=3068bpx8]
[P=3068bps1]

As for single catalog entries consisting of two different axles types in some
cases, this is because those entries haven't yet been split.

But your post raises the larger issue of part variants in general. As time passes
this page makes the scale of the problem ever clearer (and I've still got
a bunch of updates to make):

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2488

I've been thinking about part variants and I'm beginning to be of the
opinion that variants should only be considered for separate catalog entries
when absolutely necessary. There are no guidelines at the moment for part variant
splits, but we need them and we need to rethink part variants and how they're
handled in general.

Like, a radical rethink. We can never hope to do justice to part variants in
such a hidebound system as BrickLink is compelled to be by the weight of its
own impact on adult LEGO usage, nor can we ever hope for accuracy for older sets.
And trying results in unnecessary hassle and expense for everyone involved.

Then there's the issue of sometimes two things that are the similar have
two different catalog numbers and other times two things that are similar have
a single number and a note. So the whole handling of naming and suffixing is
kind of all over the place.

If that page isn't clear, hit me up.

In theory, it sounds reasonable.
However, i fear it may hurt sellers/buyers that purchase parts for MOCs listed
on 3rd party sites (i.e: Rebrickable) that may not be able to adapt the part
lists to the new suggested format.
that scenario could potentially trigger frustration among buyers trying to source
pieces for MOCs listed on Rebrickable and could hurt sales because sellers won't
show up as having those parts on rebrickable while actually having these part
on hand but under a part number that is suddenly incompatible with the Rebrickable/current
bricklink part numbers.
Unless this issue can be addressed- it may be best to leave things as they are.

There is whole paragraph of things which are logged

Item name change made by Catalog Administrators directly is not logged.

For this part, sellers might want to see a change log to know that the listing
has become more specific and they will need to check the part before shipping
to verify which pattern it is.

I believe this part came with the set but do not want to make a catalog request
without conformation.
If someone else owns this set, can they check if their set contains this part
and then add it as an alternate item?

  Would seem appropriate to contact the member directly, or set up a notice when status on the request is changed, especially after a month of no action on it and the request that
additional action by that member is to be taken.

This is a fair point and I will take it into consideration in the future. I
apologize that I didn't directly contact you.

Appreciate the understanding....wasn't directed at you specifically, but
the general way things work around here of late.
  
  But of course that is just one of the many notices that members really would
benefit from but never get

I agree with this also, but setting up a notification system is well beyond the
purview of CAs/IAs and requires action from the site's side. I simply don't
have time to individually notify 700,000+ people of changes because to do so
I would have to send exactly that many PMs. There is no system in place for
mass-notification, even though members have asked for it for a long time.

Not to contradict, but BrickLink has everyone's registered emails, so how
hard is it to send an update to those? Granted I don't have a million users
to notify, but even a novice website owner can do that, it's typically built
into any domain control panel, or at least the option to activate it is there.
Plus there are services out there for mailing lists too, and could easily be
used if the BL server can't handle it. And then what about the LEGO user
agreement pop-up we all saw a few months ago? Why not use that function again
for a pop-up that we all should hear about? Guess I just don't see how excuses
are valid given this is the internet with a million way to stay in contact.
Probably not your department, but someone behind the scenes surely can do it
as it has been done before.
  
  Please appropriately respect and value the user.

I have always tried to do that and I appreciate knowing where I fail.

Again not you, but the collective "site powers" failing to take actions to keep
all in the loop. Just a request we "all" get the respect of a notice, not the
few digging around in the forum.

I had a few minutes to play with my photo software and decided to add color names
to the photo showing the 8 colors of 32554 that I posted previously. If you would
like to swap if for the original, I'm okay with that.

* 
6620-1 (Inv) Ultimate Accessory Set 500
507 Parts, 2006

to this set will not be accepted.

This one looks like three different colors of trans-blue for the brain stalk:

The light gray one and red one have a trans-medium blue "brain". The white one
for that part definitely has a trans-light blue "brain". That image needs to
be removed.

I was following up on this thread and read that an image for 32554c05 in White
had the wrong image and needed removal. I looked an it had been removed so, I
retrieved my copy of that part and have uploaded a picture with the correct color
parts. I'm not sure if the original image was one that I uploaded or if it
had been uploaded by someone else. I apologize for the mistake if it were mine.

  I bought 10+ pcs of 3846pb31 Minifigure, Shield Triangular with Black and Silver
Falcon Pattern from 2 different sellers. Seller1 has LEGO markings at the back
of all his shields, while Seller2's shields have none.

I checked it and it came from 1 set only. Question is, why some have LEGO markings
while others have none? Are those legit LEGO?

I checked the shields from my own set and they don't have markings on them.
I guess they started using a new mold with markings for shields that were included
in later production runs.

I see, thanks for verifying. I also checked it side by side and I did not see
any red flag for the no marking shield.

Not really an answer to your question, but you can "hack" it

Your original printer friendly link
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=30215-1&viewType=P&sortBy=0&sortAsc=A&bt=0

URL end for your minifig page is M=lor035
