| Hello,
On the article page of "TLS095 LEGO EMPLOYEE, MALE WITH Apron, Lego Store at
Kidsfest 2013" is a wrong picture where the Minifigur shows in the blister.
The picture with blister is from the "Creativity Tour 2014" and not from the
Kids Festival 2013.
The right picture is attached here.
Where can I report that because the user who does make the changes on the page
can not be notified by mail, as this user has blocked the mail?
Best regards Daniel.

I asked this some time ago and got this reply:
It is ephemera. We're still not sure exactly what place ephemera will
occupy in the BrickLink catalog in the future (or if it will have a place at
all). We're not even certain how we're going to define the term. Until
we get it figured out, we're trying not to add any ephemera. This particular
item was mistakenly approved.
I kind of understand it, it will be hard to keep a catalog of everything Lego
ever produces... Wish we could.

I'm preparing a statement about this current round of changes that will help
explain the decisions that were made. But real quick, while I am reading this,
I can let you know that all three of those parts WERE included in the original
list. They were listed under the 2 x 2 corner as related parts that would also
be moved.
Two of them were moved, and two remained behind.
|
Oh... ok; that explains it. Perhaps in the future parts with totally different
shapes shouldn't be under the related parts. I understand the variations
and decorated items, but I wouldn't of thought that the corner and cross
as related.
But anyway, thank you for your response and communication. It is appreciated
by many, I'm sure, even if they don't say so. I look forward to your
statement as I hope that will clear up some of the confusion of this round.

| There are dozens of minifig heads that are produced in other non standard colours,
known as test prints.
Produced in batches and given away by Lego which then make their way into the
market.

You have to piece him out and look up just his head but the white variant is
present.

Does anyone know any information on this head or where it came from?

Yeah, that cross plate was NOT in the list before; I'm certain. Also the
Arch name change; they literally had a statement on that page a couple days ago
saying that no category name changes or additions would be approved.
Hopefully the new method that Stormchaser has mentioned will help with this confusion.

| Was it not originally announced that there would be some time for sellers and
anyone else to prepare for these changes? How will that work if the final list
is just published right on the day when the changes are made?

Please don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate all the time and effort
you and anyone who is involved are putting into this changes. But with that final
(and rather short) list it feels a bit like a missed opportunity and (regarding
the points mentioned above) yet another instance of bad communication. I am therefore
glad that you will adjust the procedure next time.
As for the changes themselves, I'm fine with them with one exeption: I would
suggest to not move
and
to "Plate, Modified" as long as
has to stay in "Plate". I don't care whether these three parts are in "Plate"
or in "Plate, Modified" but it makes absolutely no sense and creates even more
inconistency to have them in different categories.

| Everything on this list has been moved except for the last two items:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2487
We ran into a brief hiccup with those item type changes, but we plan to get them
moved later today. Let us know if you see anything on the list we missed.
As some of you already noticed, the list of moved items is about 1/9th the proposed
size. For a variety of reasons, we weren't able to accomplish the other
changes. This does not necessarily mean they won't happen, but merely that
they aren't happening right now.
For our October 1st, 2021 list, we're doing things differently to reduce
confusion. We'll post a page for that soon and begin listing items between
now and then. We'll lock it down on September 1st and every single item
placed on the October 1st page will be moved.
For anyone wondering about this process, our goal was to reduce confusion about
where things belong in the catalog. The project consisted of two steps:
1. Define in writing what should be in each category.
2. Move parts as necessary to conform with written definitions.
We've completed step one, for the most part (although it's still being
tweaked here and there). Now we're working (slowly) through step two.
Let us know if you have any questions or comments.

It sounds like you are measuring the packaging dimensions for the part. In that
case, you would post them to the Packaging Dimensions forum topic in centimeters.

I would love for someone from the catalog packaging team chime in with thoughts
about how to measure tire+wheel assemblies. If the two are to be integrally assembled
prior to shipment, then it would be identical to the tire dimension. If not,
then that really should be spelled out (somehow) on the catalog page so that
sellers know what the game plan is.

The dimensions entry on the catalog change request form is to be used for adding
stud dimensions for width and length and brick dimensions for height to standard
parts that can be easily measured in those terms (such as bricks and plates).

I don't see it in the catalog either. I would add it as: Gear, Poster. Check
to see if it has a 7 digit number code on it to use as the item number.

Thank you for the reply, Russell. Who does the reviewing? Would it be possible
to put a small paragraph or two briefly describing the review process on that

Dear Russell,
Thanks for this info. But can you elaborate on this review process? Who is doing
the review, why, and what kind of criteria are taken into consideration?
I think this kind of information would really help us understand and hence be
more understanding about the delays or the way things are done.
Best regards,
Hans-Peter

If that is the case, could you change it to say "UNDER REVIEW" rather than "NOT
APPROVED" then? There is a big divide between those two sets of words.
