| We are pleased to announce that a major new feature was deployed to the catalog
today - Packing Dimensions!
We started a Packaging Dimensions Topic in the Forum in the Fall of 2017 so that
members could input dimensions to help Instant Checkout work properly. It was
only supposed to be a temporary solution, and it took a lot of time and dedication
for both contributors and admins to handle each request manually.
Now there is much better way - just input the data like you would any other catalog
data. Notice the upgrade to the Change Item form:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=P
The first thing, though, that we want to tell you about this new feature is that
it's only a start. This is actually just phase 1 out of 3 phases. We did
it this way so we could get the basic functionality opened up as soon as possible.
This means that the Add Item form does not have Packing Dimensions input fields,
and we haven't touched the seller interface either which still shows millimeters
and only allows the upload of custom dimensions.
We are also a bit behind on the new Help Page:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2510
There are 4 areas we still need to tackle with the Help Page: Minifigures, Gear,
Books, and Catalogs. Those sections will be filled out over the next few days.
If you could please hold off on uploading dimensions for those Item Types until
the Help Pages are finished, it would be appreciated.
As you may have noticed, we changed the name from Packaging Dimensions to Packing
Dimensions. Let us know what you think and of course report any bugs. And there
is no need to post in the Packaging Dimensions Topic any more. We'll keep
it there for a while in case something happens to our new system, but when we
wrap up with phase 3, we will officially decommission that part of the Forum.

| You can submit a request to add the part to the catalog here...
https://www.bricklink.com/wantedCatalog.asp?catType=P
I guess if you're asking how to add it, you're not familiar with adding
parts so some quick help...
Note: this stickered part has left and right sided versions.
Category = Brick, Decorated
Item No = 3009pb238L (I just checked and this is the next available number, L
is for left)
Item Name = I usually copy and paste the name of another 1x6 brick stickered
(with left and right sides)
part (3009pb*), then change the description to suit. Remember to change the set
number at the end of the description.
As soon as the part has been submitted, you should add an image here...
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=P
Once the part has been approved to the catalog, you can then add it the set's
inventory here...
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp?itemType=S
Hope this helps

Is it possible to create an assembly for the attached 1x6 yellow brick with driver
side sticker from set 5510-1? I see there is another assembly for another sticker
for this part. Or how should I list this part to found by people who may be
looking for it.
Thanks,

| I think its good to make a note like:
"The Minifigur is the same as the "Creativity Tour 2014", but with another blister
pack image." 👍
