There’s a group on Facebook that specialises in misprinted minifigs if you’re

Could you provide a link or name of that group please? Thanks

| Very collectable from what i've seen and most if not all have higher values
because of it, i don't collect them specifically but we've had a few
come through our way and i have them all bagged in a draw, like my little treasure
box, my fave so far is Theoden's armour, the printing is on the back instead
of the front, always nice to get something a little more quirky.

I recently came across this Jar Jar Binks head (pictured on the right) and I
can't seem to identify it on BL. It is not like any of the three variants

| I am a curious person. I am curious about this and think it is natural to be.
I am also often frustrated by obituaries that almost never tell what happened.
No, we don't DESERVE all the details, but I totally understand why people
would be curious.
I have enjoyed many collaborations with Stormchaser. He knows how I feel about
him. Whether on staff or not in the future, I hope he will continue to contribute.
If his life has changed and he doesn't have the time, maybe he will return
later. If his feelings have been hurt and he needs some time or never wants
to come back, I understand that. There is still a lot of work to do on the catalog,
but at the end of the day none of us do it unless it is fun. Some day I will
quit. Not soon, I think. Meanwhile there are some ugly old renders and some
some undetermined coconut trees, so I'm going back to work.

Submit it to the instructions entry for 40315-99. This is a special trick that

Ouch! You got me there: I harbor no good feelings toward the BL office. However,
I do generally admire your positivity and wish I had more of it. I used to look
on the better side of things and now I don't.
There's too many things that could be better if they chose to make them better.
This rankles me. I do try to be supportive and kind when I see genuine effort.
I help newbies, I support our admin, I contribute. So, I am incessant in wanting
things to be better. You're right. 'Denigrating' implies that I am
lashing out without cause. Is that fair?
I don't feel good about what happened. I think we are worse off. If I came
across as disingenuous, that was not my intent.
Take care,

There are two different types of transparency here though - transparency about
decisions concerning the catalogue and transparency about decisions concerning
employment (whether paid for or not).
They should clearly be transparent about decisions connected to the catalogue.
However, they should not be transparent about why someone is no longer doing
something they used to do. It could be a whole range of things, from wanting
payment for voluntary work, a difference of opinion over part movements or definitions,
things moving at the wrong speed, through to more personal reasons such as someone
deciding they cannot do it for employment or medical or family reasons or just
that they have done it long enough and want a break. Unless the person involved
wants to tell us, then I don't think we need to know the reasons. I don't

The catalog didn't use to be this way. I was an admin for three years. We
were members and leaders and accountable to the community. For years now, when
you ask an admin for an explanation for a decision, you get one. Robert made
the system even better with published goals, definitions, plans, and community
discussion. Every move the BL office makes to move the catalog more toward them
and away from us is bad news. They are not accountable to us, have practically
no customer service, and have very little LEGO expertise among them. They didn't
build this catalog but they did buy it. So, there we are.
I've noticed for months that our admins, who have traditionally been some
of the most vocal people here on the Forum, are now largely silent. I doubt this
is a coincidence. I wouldn't speak for them, but I will speak for me. Whatever
the reason, the admins that work so hard and support our community have my respect

| Just because people are curious about it doesn't mean they are entitled to
the information. People have lives beyond BrickLink which details they rather
not share on BrickLink, it's perfectly fine you have to respect that.
It isn't about transparency, it doesn't change anything for the BrickLink
Catalog Admin team whether you know why two of their members left it.
If StormChaser wants to share the reasons of their departure, they'll do
it, in the meantime please stop prying.

Oops. In other words, I found the instructions. How they ended up where they
did I can't guess.
So please recreate the instructions entry. They weigh 5.6 grams. I don't

I'd like to include the dimensions of the instructions as well. Do I enter

The reason that a volunteer no longer volunteers is nothing to do with anyone

I am not 100% sure of the rules regarding having a new set in hand for an inventory.
An inventory admin will have to confirm. However, if you want to give it a go:
Start at the Add or Change page.
Choose: Add Inventory - Set
Enter your set number and Reserve Set (This gives you 3 days to start the inventory.)
Navigate back to this page and now Choose: Manual Add, enter your set number
and enter 1 in the Number of Entries
This will bring you to the Add Inventory page. A pop-up will come up asking if
you want to use the known data for the inventory. Click OK.
The fields will auto-populate with the generic LEGO data for the set. Read everything
there and then come back here with all your questions!
Forum members are usually happy to help new submitters.

It can’t be a move toward TLG/LDD’s naming conventions: they don’t exist!
It could be a move toward TLG/LDD’s categorization but
1. it’s not the intent, it could only be coincidental,
2. as seen in LDD, it’s rather simple (TLG uses more categories but LDD merges
a lot of them in its UI), so in the same way as a stick figure represents any
human and so any human can be recognized in the stick figure, any categorization
can look like LDD’s.

(Most of the) names start with the category, so the sort is already half there.
Also, as the change was moving items between categories, even if the WLs were
sorted by Cat name » item name, the items would still have been sorted differently.
Maybe you could use more, smaller Wanted Lists instead of one (or a few) big
one(s)? (You can buy from several WLs at once.)

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.

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.

You seems to be favouring twice yearly large moves instead of smaller ones, but
then go on to say there were too many to move. What is the plan here, to roll
those over to the next move and possibly bumping other parts of that move if
the list becomes too long again?
|
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.
|
I'll say it's also been a massive hassle for me the last few days, thinking
I'm going more nuts than usual with my chemo.
I have several large wanted lists for long-term models that I'm slowly accreting
parts. One of them has minifigure parts for statues. I spent several hours today
trying to hunt down all these parts after changes. They used to all be grouped
together but now arms are in one page, the torsos are 5 pages on (with the 100-parts-per-page
setting) and so on.
This is going to be a massive nightmare for me to do something like order just
the minifigure parts. They're now no longer selectable in nearly one go.
Ditto the animals.
If this process is going to continue, then I'd strongly recommend wanted
list sorting have a new extra option of sorting by item category, then name...
not just item name. So that there's at least some way of getting back to
that original sort order.

| Personally, I would wait as there seems to be a box error where you get 6 roadrunners,
but no wiley e. coyote. You can find info on Brickset and other Lego sites.
Minifigure Madness had the boxes, but they are currently out of stock. They
have a notify feature.
| I would like to know where to buy a full box at retail price, where do stores
order from ?

| According to the Lego (website), they are not released until April 26th. I expect
they will be in the catalog sometime after that date.
