| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Delete 3 Part 4073 Trans-Yellow Plate, Round 1 x 1
* Add 2 Part 4073c01 Trans-Yellow Plate, Round 1 x 1, 2 on Sprue
Comments from Submitter:
I have a mint used copy. I would say the set was built only once. The bags are still at the bottom of the box and inside one bag, there are twi sprues. Three
are separated from sprues and used for the main model but one is still attached to one sprue.
May have photos of a new copy in my old computer but cannot check it for now.

[p=87079pb672] is used next to [p=3070b,65] on the cover image of

I therefore assume the printing is close to Metallic Gold.

Let's just say that I wanted one, I ended up with two, and I had to bid on
a lot of twenty-five to get the two. The others all found homes with local individuals,
and I made a little money on the transaction. The really hard part was figuring
out what oil to put into the damping cylinder. Seems I used 30-weight, because
no one could tell me what I was supposed to use. All the old oil had been taken
out when they were removed from service.

Yes, 44865 is a very new mold, so I would expect to see it only sets produced

You can test it by putting things in a cart and trying to go through checkout.
I personally tested it quite a bit when Instant Checkout was released, and it
works very well. You will need to make sure you have accurate dimensions for
the parts in your store, and you will need to make small adjustments to the process
at first.
|
When I put items in my cart and then go to checkout to test it I get the message
"Unable to buy from yourself
BrickLink does not allow sellers to buy from themselves."
It doesn't show me any shipping options.
Were you able to override this or did you test it using two separate accounts?

OK This is the 4th case since January.
Who know, maybe they liked it in the factory =)
I'd get one for my collection indeed.
I'd like this serempiditous error makes it into *real* production.

| | Yes, it would be allowed. The system would lay the brick down on its side to
fit in the package.
|
One of the presumptions inherent in the current volume-based calculation method
is that items are rectangular. Bricks are, generally speaking, rectangular, but
many LEGO parts are not. For the non-rectangular parts, which are volume-based
but entered as an imaginary rectangular bounding box, this can result in an over-shoot
in calculating volume required. That over-shoot can/will propagate into selecting
the correct (or best-fit) packaging.
Obviously, purchasing a single quantity of a non-rectangular item will (very
likely) require rectangular packaging. In which case the system works as intended.
Where things drift away from optimal is when there are multiples of a non-rectangular
item and/or multiple lots. That is very easy to achieve with some of the large
figure parts (hockey, Hero Factory, etc).
inserting blue sky suggestion here
As a down the road way of solving this, is to both have a dimensional
entry for a single quantity, and a dimensional for a standard multiple (e.g.
10). That would allow the system to flesh out the clumping factor of a
given part, and assist in calculating the proper volume needed for a given quantity
of that part.
It may be necessary to have a standard cube volume, then answer the question
How many will fit inside that cube ? Same principle, but attacking it
from the other side of the equation.
This isn't the most ideal path, but it gets us closer to the desired result.

In the photo I have attached, the window piece also came with the set. I have

I am not sure if this is intentional or a color error at the manufacturing plant,
but these bricks are lighter than the standard light blue gray.
This brick sells for $5 a piece for some reason in the color very light blue

It's just a slight color variation within light gray. Very light bluish gray
is almost white; from the picture those do not look to be that color at all.

You should compare this brick with a very light bluish gray part like one of
the Knights Kingdom shields.
This part isn’t meant to be very light bluish gray, it might be a color issue
like less color in the mix.
LBG, reddish brown and also other parts have quite some color variations.
So before calling it rare be sure it is.
Rare seems to be a very much abused words nowadays, maybe in this case it isn’t
but you need to be sure.

How do dimension limits work on instant checkout? I haven't been able to

You can test it by putting things in a cart and trying to go through checkout.
I personally tested it quite a bit when Instant Checkout was released, and it
works very well. You will need to make sure you have accurate dimensions for
the parts in your store, and you will need to make small adjustments to the process
at first.

Many of the currently entered Packing Dimensions were mass imported from LDraw
data when Instant Checkout was implemented in 2017. These measurements have no
user credit - that is how you can tell where they came from.
Things were done that way to get the system up and running quickly, but at this
point we need to refine the data. I am outlining the submission rules on the
Help page, but essentially what they say is this - for parts, use the stud dimensions
to determine the order of the fields. Where there are no stud dimensions, add
dimensions in whichever order you wish.
So please submit a correction to that data. It is very likely there is more wrong
than just the order of the fields.
Instant Checkout will work no matter what order the data is in, but when stud
and metric dimensions are listed together, it makes sense that the fields line
up.
The Z dimension should always mean height / thickness according to the rules
for stud dimensions.

Yay, this makes sense! You can always perform a calculation on the server side
to display stud dimensions. Entering a real unit of measurement on the user/data
entry side is a great improvement!

Sorry about that. Here is another screenshot:
|
An observation, and not a criticism, the Z dimension (on the brick and the slope)
correctly includes the height of the stud on top, and because of that is not
directly convertible into brick heights (when measured in brick units). This
is because assembled bricks nest the stud within the bottom of the above brick.
And, as we all know, no one ever ships bricks assembled (but see below).
Which also, causes the rather oblique situation of hips/legs (which have studs
on top) and torsos, to not add up correctly in the Z direction, because of being
shipped individually.
Somewhere in all this (part II or part III ?) we need to address the issue I
pointed out a couple of weeks back about part-assemblies (e.g. wheels and tires)
and how they are measured for X+Y+Z and if assembling them is required.

There is no relationship or dependency between the two types of dimensions
- stud and metric. I know in the past that stud dimensions were used to give
an estimate of actual metric size, but we don't want to do that now.
I will continue adding examples of how we want you to measure things for the
catalog. It's going to be a long Help page!

They were rejected because we do not accept stud dimensions on non-standard parts.
Especially now that we have actual metric values being added, there is no need
to find the stud dimensions for weird shapes.
In fact, we are considering hiding stud dimensions altogether, or moving them
to a separate info tab to keep people from being confused. Almost all pertinent
stud information is contained in the item name anyway.
Of course, it is a bit subjective whether a part is "weird" enough to not have
stud dimensions, but that is up to the catalog admin handling the request. Personally,
I would encourage you to spend 100% of your measurement submissions on actual
dimensions at this point, and not worry about the studs.

| | How will this be used? Will we be able to set up a shipping method that is only
allowed if all pieces are under a certain thickness? (i.i USPS large envelope/flat)
So the checkout would need to find the smallest of the three dimensions for each
element in the cart, and make sure it is below the threshold.
Or is it just to better approximate the total volume of the order?
|
It's already very much in use with Canadians sellers; it can jump from a
$1.94 stamp to $22 if the part is over 20mm in thickness. Canadian sellers have
been manually putting in the packaging dimensions for every oversized item (and
setting those items to Volume based).
What you do is set the packaging limits (if you have any for USPS) in the shipping
option like you mentioned, and it ensures that if there's a thickness maximum
(like the 20mm in Canada for Lettermail), that no part has any dimension that
goes over that. There's also general volumetric dimensions that you can set
where it's to try to calculate if "that much LEGO" can fit into what you
gave it, but I'm not entirely sure how well this part works.
|
So you have to exclude a part with any dimension over 20mm? That doesn't
seem like it would work very well. A 1x6x5 brick can easily fit but only one
of its dimensions is less than 20mm.
|
Believe it or not, the correct answer to this question also involves orientation
within the envelope when shipped. If you put solid bricks (or any part) in the
envelope with the wrong orientation, then it becomes what is known as a nonmachinable
letter. It all has to do with what USPS (and likely Canada Post) normally
expect letter mail to be subjected to when it goes through the processing equipment.
See this passage in Postal Explorer for a better detail of the requirements (DMM
101.1.2) …
https://pe.usps.com/text/DMM300/101.htm?q=diameter&h=diameter&t=H&s=R&p=1&c=DMM|QSG
There are even a few USB thumb drives that are thin enough to get thru letter
mail, but you need a thin cardboard frame to keep them oriented correctly.

Yes I do.

This is the only hairpiece ever made in Dark Nougat (and is one of the only pieces
known to exist in Dark Nougat), and Dark Nougat is very similar to Dark Orange.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14890173099/
And this set definitely came with that hairpiece in Dark Nougat. (The official
LEGO data for this set confirms this as it also says it came with Dark Nougat
hair.)
If your original figure came from a sealed set with *true* Dark Orange hair,
then another minifigure will need to be created instead of altering the inventory
of this one.
Cheers,
Randy
|
also just to add that within that same set it actually comes with Kenobi with
hair described as Dark Orange and then the Anakin hair is officially described
differently as:-
Color Orange-brown
Description Dark Nougat
I'm not sure why Lego use two colour references for that same part but its
certainly intended to be different to Dark Orange thats for sure
|
I just checked my fig and you are right, it's Dark Nougat.
Then why is the figure pic in DK OG? The set pic and box image also have it
as DK OG?
Any new sellers that sees that pic will think it is DK OG.
So now you will ask me to provide a new pic, with and without cape? I'll
try to get to it.
Thanks for the "schooling".

That's what I've been doing the whole time with the packaging dimensions.

They are actually still stored in the system as mm, but we didn't want the
catalog upload forms to use two different measurement standards. All of the dimensions
you entered through the Forum Topic are still in the system and attributed to

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.

Sealed set, pic to follow. This correction is not really "correct". I guess the instructions are on the CD-Rom, but this inventory (and 3808 too, I'll bet) is way over on part count because the extras are not broken out.

According to the official LEGO data, here are the parts that are over by 1x in
the inventory and should be extras:
I am going to go through the instructions to see if it matches up.

I was able to verify according to the instructions that the parts listed above
are each over by one.
How many of each of the above did you get in your set?

I got the total amount expected of each of those. So 1 extra of each.

| | | So you have to exclude a part with any dimension over 20mm? That doesn't
seem like it would work very well. A 1x6x5 brick can easily fit but only one
of its dimensions is less than 20mm.
|
Sorry that's my mistake in how I described it because I said any dimension
(and that's not accurate). I think it's oversized only on the triple
dimensions because like you said, a brick is flat and is over 2cm in two dimensions,
but not the 3rd ("height") so it fits. So for example, when I manually set packing
dimensions, I haven't even been bothering measuring the exact dimensions
since it's just for me (how it was currently), so I would set all 3 dimensions
to 25mm.

It's already very much in use with Canadians sellers; it can jump from a
$1.94 stamp to $22 if the part is over 20mm in thickness. Canadian sellers have
been manually putting in the packaging dimensions for every oversized item (and
setting those items to Volume based).
What you do is set the packaging limits (if you have any for USPS) in the shipping
option like you mentioned, and it ensures that if there's a thickness maximum
(like the 20mm in Canada for Lettermail), that no part has any dimension that
goes over that. There's also general volumetric dimensions that you can set
where it's to try to calculate if "that much LEGO" can fit into what you
gave it, but I'm not entirely sure how well this part works.

I love seeing these kinds of new features for sellers being implemented! Thank-you
so much!
A feature to add later which would be fantastic (which another site has been
doing) would be to have a direct link (probably on the "My BL" page), that takes
us to a list of all of our inventory that has missing packing dimensions. The
benefit is that you'll get the catalogue populated more quickly as sellers
will be directed to items that they know they have on hand as part of their inventory.
And then of course, perhaps a link in the Catalogue section to all parts missing
packing dimensions (for general catalogue contributors).

Make a search with a list of bricks possible.
If you have a list of brick codes, it would be very helpful to find the store
that owns the entire list or has the largest number of them.
Thanks for your attention.

You mean something like a Wanted List that already exists?

You are looking for a Wanted List. It's already here on BrickLink. Start
with the little heart 'Want' on the top menu. Or, type in your code in
the search, navigate to the catalog item page and click 'Add to My Wanted
List'

BTW, I wish we had a different icon and indicator for this on the top menu. I
just don't see how a heart and the word Want conveys to new users that necessary
shopping methods are hidden there. Does anyone have a better idea?
