| | Why is 3464c02 present in this inventory (as counterpart)?
|
This part is present as a counterpart because it appears in two motorcycle assemblies
in this set. As to whether it should be present or not, I don't believe
there are any rules for this sort of thing.

It seems from the photos that this plate was used on a model only appeared on
the box. (last photo, top-left model)
If the minifig without hat is considered as one piece, then the piece count 18
would be correct.

Good to see you around again! You haven't posted in the forum since June,
2017.
We're not getting rid of renders, so the two existing renders are fine.
We're only getting rid of renders which don't appear in any set in that
color. As for parts which simply don't appear in sets in a specific color,
there are many of these. We're keeping photos for these parts and deleting
renders. The image in red for this part is a photo, so it would not be deleted.
This project is actually finished, I believe. I just haven't closed it out
yet. Feel free to see if you can find anything the rest of us have missed before
I do.

| | I checked my PC and saw that I had saved these photos of a sealed copy few months
ago (during the time I could not submit any inventory change request) The seals
are intact based on the photos. Is this good enough?
|
Yes, these are wonderful images! I can clearly tell that the seals seem to be
original and intact, I can clearly see the contents in the box sealed in their
bags, and I can clearly see the 4275. Excellent job! 
| | The photos of this copy shows that the box is different. It has languages French
and Italian. The very interesting thing is that these light gray hinges appears
on the box "assembled" but it is written "3" under 4275a and "2" under 4531!
|
Yes, the parts list on this box is *very* interesting. It is a great example
for understanding that these parts lists printed on the sides of boxes cannot
be fully trusted either when making inventory change decisions. The contents
of each set really need to be examined case-by-case.
| | I have worked on this part for few months and realized that the very first time
it was produced was early 1985 yet it could had been used after until they ran
out of old stock of 4275a and 4276a. Do you note the transition time for each
part (to have a guideline)?
|
Yes, I was looking at the transition range for this part and its variant. Although
the timeline data is interesting as a whole, I do not use the timelines to make
inventory changes unless a *lot* of data has been proven reliable.
| | This is why I believed in this inventory change request.
|
I'm glad you did, because I have learned a lot from this. Thanks for contributing,
and I hope you will do so again!
Request accepted.

We don't, but it is more and more likely these days that these old sets have
been resealed to try and make a profit. Modern sets are easy to fix, because
multiple people are checking them constantly from sealed sets. More data points
for these sets makes it less and less likely that errors will occur. However,
for these old sets, we only have so much data to work with. I do not take any
inventory changes lightly, so I must be convinced beyond reasonable doubt before
I will make a change. I hope you can understand my position.

See above.

there are more and more fake sealed sets (unfortunately)/
So where do you draw the line?
|
As Inventory Admins, we are the last line of defense before bad data enters the
system. I take that responsibility *very* seriously. I draw my line when I personally
feel that I am comfortable enough that making the change to an inventory is a
good thing for BrickLink's catalog and BrickLink's users. If I do not
yet feel comfortable, I am going to question things until I either get comfortable
and accept the request or make a decision that I will wait for more data and
reject the request.
| | Extra evidence based on my knowledge about this part:
- I believe the hinges with hollow studs were produced since late 1984. I know
that the light gray hinges with solid stud have never seen with this set (sealed,
copy,...) This inventory change request is an evidence for this:

I do not have a good knowledge of this part, so I cannot say whether your belief
is correct. As I have stated before, the images of the 720-1 that you posted
in this thread were *not* sealed, yet the auction was listed as such. That does
not instill me with confidence in the source. If you have further proof of a
sealed set for 720-1 like the images shown in the thread posted, please add them.
| | The date of motor is 45 4 (45th week in 1984) and all parts also early version.
The set 7745 was released between 1985-90.
This set 720-1 was in market at least until 1989 so it is very unlikely that
the hinges with solid studs came with it until 1989. I believe they never came
with this set but that should be hard or rather impossible to prove
|
I am sorry that I can't make decisions based on beliefs for this set. Unfortunately,
if it is hard or impossible to prove, then the inventory will remain as is. I
will leave this request open for a while so yourself and others may have time
to add additional information.

|
The most interesting thing which is visible on your photos is completly different
printed parts list, compare with these.
|
Yes, this is what I mentioned. In 80s, there were variations of boxes based on
the language (so market). The box in my photos have languages D/F/I (German,
French, Italian)
The boxes mentioned in this thread are US (only English).
There should also be Canadian one (English, French) with a different box and
maybe different piece count (like the set 6384 or 6386 but I don't remember
which, I need to check later)
And UK/F/NL (see photo attached)
And Japanese!
There is also a box with seven languages which should be the one released in
1989 or later (see photo attached)
I didn't find photos of the part list printed on the side of the box for
other variations.
You may find this article interesting.

But it is clearly visible on other photo of this set that in fact these wheels
are not pre assembled despite what parts list on box shows.

Looks like the image on the box support this change.
And yes i know LEGO do changes after the photo is taken some time.
|
As you said, the photo of the box does not show anything because the box and
these photos were designed before the new variant 4275 (and 4276) were produced.
Another example of the exact same part (of the same color) is the set 7745-1
from the same year 1985.
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=235359
The date of the motor and other parts proves that this copy was a very early
release coming with 4275 and 4276. The photos of the box, the instructions and
catalogs show 4275a and 4276a. It is interesting that for a catalog of 1988,
new photos were taken from this train showing 4276

| | The date of motor is 45 4 (45th week in 1984) and all parts also early version.
The set 7745 was released between 1985-90.

the hinges with solid studs came with it until 1989. I believe they never came

will leave this request open for a while so yourself and others may have time

I checked my PC and saw that I had saved these photos of a sealed copy few months
ago (during the time I could not submit any inventory change request) The seals
are intact based on the photos. Is this good enough?
The photos of this copy shows that the box is different. It has languages French
and Italian. The very interesting thing is that these light gray hinges appears
on the box "assembled" but it is written "3" under 4275a and "2" under 4531!
I have worked on this part for few months and realized that the very first time
it was produced was early 1985 yet it could had been used after until they ran
out of old stock of 4275a and 4276a. Do you note the transition time for each
part (to have a guideline)?
This is why I believed in this inventory change request.

We don't, but it is more and more likely these days that these old sets have

multiple people are checking them constantly from sealed sets. More data points
for these sets makes it less and less likely that errors will occur. However,
for these old sets, we only have so much data to work with. I do not take any

The only 4275 in Light Gray that I can see in that photo is upside down so that
I can only see the bottom of it. Is there a way to know what the studs on the

Or is there something else in the photo that I am missing?

If you have any 1*2 plate around (or 1*3,...) check its bottom: that would be
how the bottom of hinge with solid stud look like; there should be a deep hole.
The bottom of the hinges with hollow stud look as in this photo.

OK. That makes sense. 
I found the auction that contains the image you posted. The description of the

the seals on both ends of the box are cut open. How can I be sure this is really

I use the BrickStock database to identify category changes. However, it won't
work for items that move to a different type (like your example). Reason is that
the BS database doesn't have unique identifiers for each item - my program
figures out any category changes by checking if there are such changes for partnr/type
pairs. I can't track changes across types of items, as there currently are
already items with the same nr in multiple types (and that wouldn't even
take into account the fact you will likely change the part nr in that example).

This was the result of categorizing the 700+ items which had no categories and
these were necessary changes. I expect additional changes to occur in the future,
so I have saved your link and will share it again in the future if you don't

If you could figure out a way to add sets and gear without overwhelming your
tool, then that would be awesome. At some point I plan to go forward with precise

The photos of the courtesy of collector nkiss82 who checked all parts in his
NIB set.
The manual: 120288
The catalog: D/A/CH/F/I 153382 (1986) this is a release of 1987 but the catalog
is the one from 1986 because there were no train catalog in 1987 so TLG used
the one form 1986.
The conducting rails have no holes on the sides

the fewest stores, or best price etc - add sets to buy that have all the parts.
Then a shopper could shop for complete sets to buy from sellers or determine
that they already have the sets in their own collection to build the MOC they
are shopping for pieces for.
Example: I bought the instructions for the UCS U-wing project by Mirko (Awesome
MOC by the way and beautiful instruction book)
uploaded the parts list 430 different parts 3300 pieces total.
I would love to know if I could buy 4-5 sets to get all the parts I need to build
the UCS U-wing project and the extra pieces could go in my collection. Certainly
there would be a handful of random special pieces to buy separately but it would
be cool to have the option of buying a few complete sets to get the majority
of the parts.
Just a thought and the development cost would be minimal since the hard parts
(set part inventories & want lists) already exist.

Thanks for that
My doubts came because of this set
instruction parts list shows PCC 6184858 so part 93587 would be, but LEGO internet
parts list shows part 38224 being in this set.
So something is not quite right in inventories then
https://brickset.com/parts/design-93587
it is design from 2012 and it is shown in official LEGO inventories only in one
set in one color
in black
https://brickset.com/parts/design-38224
2018 design in all three sets from 2018 should be
in yellow
in red
in black
In our system set from 2018 - 70921 is inventoried with 93587
There is 6 years gap between these parts.
When you checking PCC is getting more interesting
93587 - PCC for black 4656765 given by both instruction for set 4438 and LEGO
internet inventory https://brickset.com/parts/design-93587
and here is everything OK
but
38224
In LEGO internet inventories are given these PCC
yellow - 6223495 in set 41456
red - 6223499 in set 70921
black - 6223500 in set 41195
in our system we have only these for black and yellow enetered
but in instructions for two of these 2018 sets PCC are completely different:
yellow - 6184858 in set 41456
red - 6186057 in set 70921
and they are currently entered under "older variant" 93587
I couldn't find sources for these PCC:
6188936 black 93587
4613118 red 93587
So one set from 2018 have "new variant" 38224 in inventory, PCC in instruction
and LEGO internet parts list is the same - 41195
One set from 2018 have in instruction different PCC than PCC in LEGO internet
parts list and have "old variant" in invetory - 70921
Third one 41456 is currently under checking old one or new one variant. PCC diffres
in instruction and LEGO internet parts list
Maybe also PCCs are wrongly applied here?

P.S. So also renders are probably messed too then if 9387 came only in black
Is there 93587 in sand blue exists?

it can be a puzzle when items get moved to a different category.
Internally we have a web page that shows items that have moved. Would that be
helpful for others as well? See this link:

Currently I have it limited to only pick "parts" or "minifigs" - in the last

So, if something was done, it was obligatory done by an admin. And admins usually
don’t do anything stupid.
The catalogue has some inconsistencies but they are worked upon. And, without
discrediting the other admins, StormChaser is cleaning tornado.
As you can see with these minifigs, a lot have been marked for deletion without
anyone doing anything about them (like sellers keeping selling them while they
shouldn’t). Just putting that big mark should (and already has) wake(n) them

Most of the minifigures currently marked for deletion have been that way for

when I added MARKED FOR DELETION to their titles.
Most of them were marked for deletion because they did not meet inventory standards:

The figures marked for deletion don't need to be added to the catalog again

|
| I find it extremely irritating that the two options for the background while
rendering are: No background (renders as a png of only the MOC) and Floor (sets
the floor to a color, the background is black or white depending on light
type, has the bricks reflect the color of the floor as well) Why can't we
have an option that is like floor, but fills the entire background with the selected
color?
Yes, I understand that one could just lay the PNG from no background over a solid
color, HOWEVER, the thing about floor is that the reflected light color being
tinted towards the floor color is really nice, and makes the model seem to glow
the color of the floor.
Additionally, I find it annoying that while picking a color for the floor, there
is not a way to see what color the floor will actually end up looking like after
being lit unless you start rendering.
My suggestions are:
–Add an option for rendering that functions like floor, but fills the entire
background with selected color/
–Add option to see what color the floor/background will actually end up being
once lit, or add an option to lock the floor/background from changing color due
to lighting.
I think these are very much needed especially the first one, the renderer is
slightly dysfunctional without it in my opinion, and there isn't a way to
manually fix it perfectly. The best you can do is smart crop the color of background
out and then the entire image over a solid color that matches the floor. However
this doesn't work if the floor color or the model is too close to the color
black, and even then it really doesn't look that good.
I would very much appreciate it if these changes were made, and I think others
would as well.

This is true. However, the color is added to other parts inventoried this way
only when they appear in sets. This part does not appear in a set and never
will, so I felt like it deserveed an exception to the way other parts are handled
in inventories.

I don't like exceptions, and I have never liked them in the BrickLink catalog.
I still feel that this inventory follows the appropriate guidelines and does
not need to be changed.

I am not worried about having (N/A) entries in the catalog. They really don't
bother me, and I am all for getting rid of them if the proper set-up of an inventory
following agreed-upon inventory guidelines gets rid of them naturally without
having to make rule exceptions. We were able to accomplish this with the 4x6
plates in the minifigure display cases, and that was a good thing. However, I
am not for making inventory exceptions that do not follow the guidelines just
to get rid of a stray (N/A) that happens to appear on a page.
Sure, but once again, I am only for removing entries from that list if the inventory
system naturally gets rid of them without making rule exceptions.

I am actually really glad you brought this up as an example! I have never
agreed with this practice since I have been on BrickLink. These exceptions for
some of the complete assemblies have always bothered me, and I tried to have
them changed in the past with no luck. This is one area that I am going to try
to push back against the established guidelines to try and *remove* exceptions.
In fact, it is on my preliminary Inventories Roadmap.
Thanks for your comments, Robert.

Randy

I found it when looking here:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=3&pg=1&catLike=W&colorPart=0&sortBy=N&sortAsc=A&sz=50&itemBrand=1000&catType=P
Also on that list are a couple of other items in N/A colors which we spoke about
privately such as the 3001 brick. The fewer solid-color parts which appear on
that list, I would imagine, the better.
And it's not exactly out of the ordinary to specify all the colors in a part
assembly. This is done for many assemblies in the catalog:

There is no such part on the parts list for this set printed on box. I agree
that this part is visible in "instruction sheet" but it is more like a decoration
there this part isn't in any minibulids there also it isn't visible
on the box front. Parts list is in this case very clear.

Unfortunately, I am going to have to reject this request as well as the other
one. The inventory as it stands is perfectly acceptable. It is set up the way
that any other part assembly would be identified: the main part has a variable
color, and the part that does not change is specified. The fact that the assembly
is listed as a gear seems irrelevant in this situation, and changing the inventory
in the way you suggest would unnecessarily complicate things and go against established
guidelines.

I would think it would need correcting since it is there in the instructions
but I'm very new here and I wouldn't know how to. Let's see if someone

It is a detail, yes. Perhaps someone with better knowledge of Star Wars sets
than I have can comment upon it. If it needs to be corrected, then it would
merely necessitate adding a new catalog entry for the part with the sticker upside

| Hello,
I was checking parts on a "Republic Dropship with AT-OT Item No: 10195-1" here:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=10195-1#T=I
I noticed that in my set I followed the first set of instructions. I've attached
the relevant part from page 30 just in case.
When I check the bricklink parts list I noticed that it shows up as two same
parts with the sticker going up, not two different parts, one up and the other
down.
I realize this is a detail, I'm curious to know if this is relevant to bricklink
and how this is managed and/or changed.
Thank you.

| Does anyone know if the Exo-Force comic books (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=B&catString=331.568)
exist physically?
I was of the understanding that these 'comic books' (Graphic Novels)
were only downloadable from Exo-Force website (a silly marketing mistake in
my opinion). Fans would download them and perhaps print them out and bind
them (told you it was a silly marketing mistake). I am not trying to
imply that this is what has happened here. However, if they are homemade copies,
then I think this would obviously be breaking the Bricklink policy to have them
in the catalog.

I'll leave it open for a couple more days. I think we've plucked all
