Animals vs minifigures is a real mess for what gets included. Not just in Minecraft
but across all themes.
It happens in other animals sections too, air for example ...
As the animals section exists, they put animals in there. So Scooby Doo, Smaug,
Santa's Little Helper, Snowball II (all named characters) plus other more
generic ones such as the Minecraft animals, the snail from the LEGO Movie, and
so on. Whether they are single pieces or large assemblies those animals go into
the relevant animals location. Yet Unikitty and the other animals from that series,
they go into Minifigures. I can understand un-named animals going into an animals
section, but not for named animal characters.
There is even a tea cup that also goes into minifigures, even though there is
a category for minifigure utensils where it should go with the other tea-cups
with or without faces (like there is an animals category for animals).
[m=dp115]
[p=38014pb01]
And that is without even starting with the trains, cars, steamrollers, and all
those other vehicles that are minifigures even though there are dedicated sections
for trains and vehicles.
It is not clear why (named) licensed animals are treated in such a different
way to licensed vehicles and tea cups and wardrobes.

I am trying to import this set to studio and fail importing it. I assume it is

could be in
but it looks like it's currently inventoried as just bricks, instead of a
complete minifig.
But in
that one IS a minifig.
Now how to fix:
Go here: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogAdd.asp
select "change inventory" - "Set"
And fill the form to remove the items that are parts of the figure, and add the
figure.

| This is where I immediately get stuck. When adding, the submission form requires
the item number. But if this is a new sticker’d item, it doesn’t yet have a number.
The part that the sticker is on already exists in the catalog.
The sticker items seem like they need additional work involved, so I was hoping
to gain insight specific to them

Hmm, it seems all the resources on the web are only showing an image or two.

| Hi everyone.
I am a new member and whilst searching for items I have come across a few items
that need editing or more details added to them.
How can I edit or supply more details??
An example is item min093, says it is found in set 21132 which is incorrect.
It appears in sets 21123 and 21128

| I've just added inventory for [G=40315]. Apparently, it has been missing
since 2018. I have few notes:
1) I can not offer to submit a picture of the assembled set as I need the parts
in condition "new". Instead, I'll submit photo of the sealed (poly)bags and
their contents sorted roughly by the steps in the instructions.
2) This gear has an "instructions" entry, but my set had no instructions in the
bag. Is this the correct way to handle this situation?
3) Do you need the three goal paper figures created as individual gear and added
as counterparts?

That was exactly what I've been wondering for a while. The logic of not wanting
"too much" at one time escapes me. The more often things change, the messier
it is. I may open my main store back up once all of this is over (late 2022 or
so) in the meantime it's just too much chaos for me and not really worth
the hassle.

Politely ask the seller if they perhaps made a mistake or maybe meant to assign
that shipping cost to another order because shipping one keychain at the most
(counter prices) is $4.00 in the same state.
If that fails then ask to cancel and assure the seller that you have no intention
of leaving a bad feedback. (That might raise your chance the the seller would
comply)

Comments concerning the April 1 category change list
The idea of a larger-scale change conducted twice per year is working well and
is superior to occasional changes that are harder to draw everyone’s attention
to. So, the good news is that for the foreseeable future, we will shift categories
mainly at those times, with the current organizational structure. We still may
adjust categories at any time, though, as we will need to do soon for tax reasons
– think magazines and children’s clothes.
The bad news, at least for the moment, is that many of the proposed changes were
not approved by admin. Here are the main reasons for this:
1) This was a very large list of parts, about 70% larger than the one we worked
with in October. The larger the list, the larger the potential disruption.
2) The parts in the original April 1 list are much more common than those in
the previous list. There are some obscure and some common parts in both lists,
but as a whole, moving parts in the original April 1 list would have had an exponentially
larger impact. Even if we were ok with all of the changes, we would not want
to move this many at one time.
3) No new categories or category retitling was approved other than a couple cases
where we moved in the opposite direction. In most of the proposed cases, the
category names were longer. Generally speaking, category names are better when
they are shorter and listed on their own instead of listed alongside “Brick,…”
and “Plate,…” categories.
4) We should look at splitting the liftarms into basic and modified in the future.
The reason for not doing it now is because the split is not well enough defined.
There are several points at which a liftarm could become "modified". Even the
basic ones with bent ends could be considered modified to a degree, and that
would leave us with about 10 thick ones. But then there are thin ones too.
There is also the complication of a few decorated parts that would strictly need
their own "Technic, Liftarm, Modified, Decorated" category.
5) There were unfortunately two items on the list that we planned to change but
we couldn’t, due to problems with the admin tools. These two items are currently
listed as changes for Oct 1, 2021. We hope to have the tools repaired soon.
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2509
For the rest of the changes, I will address them subject by subject. Today we’ll
talk about corner parts:
**********************************************************
Part 1: Corner bricks, corner plates, and corner tiles
The 4 x 4 Corner Brick, the 2 x 2 Corner Brick, 2 x 2 Corner Plate, and the 4
x 4 Corner Plate were part of the original BrickLink catalog before March 25,
2001 when entry dates started to be recorded.
And there is no record of them having changed category after May 7, 2002 when
the old catalog change log was activated:
https://www.bricklink.com/js/cataloglog.txt
The Corner Tile and Cross Plate were added in late 2013, and the 2 x 3 Plate
with Cutout was added about 3 months ago. The 2 x 2 Corner Tile was placed in
a basic category out of consideration for the other corner elements.
So what we have done in this category is to revert back to the way things were
at the very earliest time on BrickLink. And looking even further back, the 4
x 4 Corner Brick was part of the very earliest LEGO building sets that were ever
produced, the Classic Bricks (the ones with slots):
[p=bslot16]
It is these facts that make the “corner” parts an exception when we are categorizing
shapes. It’s the nature of what LEGO bricks have always been to include the corners
with the other more strictly rectangular shapes.
That doesn’t mean, of course, that we will never move these parts. Just that
when we are being careful and moving things in logical stages, we need to recognize
that the inclusion of the “corner” elements is a completely different matter
than that of the 3 x 3 Cross Plate or the 2 x 3 Plate with Cutout, or other
parts like the 4 x 4 Plate with Center Cutout that could have been included with
the “basic” list had we gone another direction.

The only thing that would incentivize IC to me is for it to be designed to actually
function with the USPS system.

Stet (IOW, full agreement, no argument)
| Does everyone just charge for the highest zone
or aim for somewhere in the middle?
|
I keep a spreadsheet with all my sales on it. I note which zone, the weight,
and the class of service. That is tabulated into something that gives me a more
clear picture of what zone are ordering which weights. From that, I can distribute
the USPS zone costs into a rate for each weight band. Some buyers are going to
be charged more, some less, but at the end of the year I should be pretty close
the correct average. Zone 8 is getting a slight advantage, and zones 3-6 are
paying a bit more. While it would be nice for BL to get the zones to be fully
functional, I know that some buyers (i.e. everyone in zone 8) is going wince
when they see the rate they need to pay (for break even). Typically tho, if any
buyer is presented with a rate, and they know there are no more hidden or handling
charges, they buy in and go with it.
|
Thanks for sharing this info. I do see that there is a small trade-off between
exact cost and convenience at check out.
|
In the past 6 months, I've only had one buyer wanting free shipping … and
they were buying for resale on Amazon. So they were trying to make their cost
of acquisition lower, and at my expense. I politely declined.
| I guess what I am saying is I just don't trust
it to work, and I am basically prohibited from testing it in my own shop. The
interface is confusing, the packing dimensions are incomplete...I guess many
sellers are adapting to it despite all this?
|
What some sellers are doing, is opening a second account for testing. As long
as you do not create any real orders (i.e. with an order number assigned) it's
not hurting anything.
|
Yeah, I wouldn't be comfortable doing this. My rep and feedback here mean
a lot to me. (former Admin, contributor, store owner) so I will wait until it's
written in the terms.

If you have any specific questions about getting IC up and running, send me a
Contact.

Interesting, my son tried to create an account to help me test and to have his
own account (he's 32) and his account had the buyer privilege revoked. He
went back and forth with customer support and was told it was a duplicate of
my account! This was far from true, he is living here with us due to the pandemic,
there was nothing nefarious going on. So, how does he get his account reinstated?
He does not have ID with my address on it as DMV in our state is CLOSED.
Let me know if you need his account info. He has basically given up on Bricklink
for now.
