| 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.

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).

Dear Russell,

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.

If that is the case, could you change it to say "UNDER REVIEW" rather than "NOT

I guess it depends on what the purpose of the categories is. If it is to mirror
the "series" as defined by Lego, or give Bricklink users logical groupings of
items so they can find sets they want. But even if it's the former, unless
there's some official Lego categories I don't know about, Marvel sets
are branded "Marvel" not "Super Heroes", and "Marvel" is a distinct Theme on
the website, as is "DC".
Just seems dumb to have arbitrary distinctions in some instances, but not in
others, and both in ways that are not intuitive or helpful for buyers.

Well, I hope there will be an announcement about what is and what is not being

we won't hear a thing about all the juicy details involved in BL's office

I, for one, would like to know how changes brought forward and discussed by the
community, and then reviewed and decided upon by our volunteer admin are somehow
not 'approved' by BrickLink. Is this really what happened?
If BrickLink is, in fact, taking such specific control of the catalog away from
the volunteers, then we need to know about it. BrickLink has only 1 contributor
and no sellers on its entire staff. I don't trust them at all.

When Russell posted that very confusing message (to me as well as to the catmins
themselves) saying things may or may not get approved by April 1st, I realised
it'd be a mess... :/ The idea was that the 6 things directly listed in the
newsletter would certainly be approved, and the rest was going to be decided
sometime later on and may or may not make it in the April update.
If I recall right, for some reason Bricklink believes it is better to do little
bits at a time, so the other things will be approved later. Don't really
understand this logic, it just sounds like a recipe for confusion to me. IMO
it's way better to do major updates in one go...
Actually I wish the entire catalog revamp (this project started last year, will
last maybe another year) was just released in one update once it is properly
finished (and announced properly in advance). After so many years of working
with the catalog as it is, what is a few more months working with it? Just my
2 cents.

Maybe they are worried about the spaghetti code becoming so corrupted it would
bring down the site if they changed too much at once? Even when Daniel was alive
and made some changes it would break things and he wrote the original code.
Smaller changes means less to check and figure out if something goes wrong.
Yes it would be nice to have everything changed at once, but if it brought the
whole site down, well that might upset 1 or 2 people. Maybe 3 if it was the
right day.

Also, it bothers me that "Super Heroes" isn't subdivided into "Marvel" and
"DC" (the categories "Buildable Figures", "Sculptures", "Mighty Micros", and
"Super Heroes Other" could also be at that level to avoid fracturing things too
much).

| Forgive me if this has been asked before, but why do "Batman I" and "Spider-Man"
get their own top-level categories under Set, when all similar categories are
under "Super Heroes" (including another "Spider-Man", I assume another generation)?
"DC Super Hero Girls" is also a top-level category. I understand that more since
it uses the minidolls instead of minifigures, but I would still consider it Super
Heroes.

The person who submitted the pending inventory for this set did not take a photo
of the sticker sheet before using it. So I would appreciate if anyone who has
an unused sticker sheet can supply an image for it.

I like it! There are lots of great websites in our community, and it's smart

| The problem is consistency. If Jek-14 and Ezra Bridger are both listed with 'a'
variants due to one having a helmet and the other having hair, then Poe should
also follow suit. This is why the change was requested.
If, as suggested by Graeme above, the letter suffix would only be applied to
variants found within the same set then both of those examples are also invalid.
The first instance of the minifigure assembly within the instructions is a good
standard that clearly allows for a definition of a new minifig variant.
At the same time we are now counting stickered bricks as a minifigure.. this
makes even less sense in my opinion.
Best,
Kevin

Why is Poe now listed twice as sw0737 with hair and as sw0737a with helmet?

Also my eyes perceive old gray, so I needed you to state what colours are there.
I'm here to help, just give us more data of them

The left ones are LBG, the middle and right ones are LG.
I have decided to sell the LBGs as "soft" and the other ones as "undetermined".
Problem solved.

| Also, these helmet/hair variants are just crazy....
sw0737 even comes with a helmet in the set, it’s just not shown wearing it on
the instructions.
The new entry should be labelled as without hair.
Same goes for the Jek-14 fig sw0475a, it’s the same fig as sw0475 just without
hair.
The rules need to be reviewed for figs that have either helmet or hair, or indeed
both.

| It’s my opinion that this new version of Poe should be sw1144, as it’s not a
variant of sw0737 (although they’re the same). A variant with ‘a’ on the end
suggests it could come from the same set, which this does not.
I tried submitting a change request to sw1144 but that was pending for the upcoming
Blue Milk Luke fig (my submission), which I have now changed to sw1146, making
sw1144 available again for randyf to amend his change request, should he wish.
I noticed the fig was originally added under sw1144 but was then changed, this
is wrong imo.
