|
| Normally I wouldn't think twice about this, but I just packed and shipped
an order for a bunch of tiles ranging from 1x1 to 6x6. If you're not aware
the, the 6x6's have a matte finish quality to them that almost resembles
a 4x3 slope rather than the high gloss you come to expect from, say, 2x6 tiles.
Should there be a note attached to 10202 mentioning this? If this particular
buyer is intending to have these seamlessly blend in with the other tiles they
bought, they're in for a bad surprise unless they are already familiar with
the part.

| I want to add this sticker part to the inventory of set 70813 rescue re-enforcements.
I want to contribute to the catalog but just find it too complicated to understand.
For some reason the image here has loaded sideways and need's to be rotated
to the right. The next available part number is 892pb039

|
| Hello,
Today I acquired the latest "25 Years of Lego Star Wars" promotional
item and I'm having doubts on correct categorisation.
The packaging says: "Fabric Sticker", but the item looks more like a
patch, rather than a sticker. Also, it's made of fabric, not sewed, like
patches usually are, and not paper, as sticker usually are.
That being said, I have doubts how to correctly add the item to the catalog.
What do you guys think? Does it belong to "Sticker, Collectible Sticker"
category, or "Patch & Pin"? Please also suggest an Item ID, as this isn't
obvious neither in both those categories...
Attaching two photos of the actual item

|
| Which preset am I supposed to select when submitting a change request for instructions?
I assumed it was just the Catalog one.
However when submitting it tells me; "Item No to Change does not exist in
Catalog."
I am copy/pasting them Item No from the existing entry.
I've tried changing to Book rather than Catalog as well as attempting to
change the Item No by removing both the -1 and "Instructions Entry" Text.
I did not expect these to work and indeed they did not.
Looking at the Catalog Add or Change menu, there is an option for instructions
under Add Image but not under Change Item.
I just wanted to submit weight and dimensions for an instruction manual.
Perhaps I am missing something. But the guide just leads to the same Change Item
form, which is where I started.

|
| Hello,
probably I'm not the first person to point this out but there are a lot of
2x2 printed tiles listed in the wrong way.
I suppose the part code is 3068b, so all the printed tiles should be 3068bp*,
but many are 3068pb*
Like : https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3068pb2361&in=S
I believe that this is an error.
Can you confirm me?
Because when searching 3068bp*, as it should, many do not appear.

|
| Set 76416 Inventory shows part 22385 in Green, but no such item in Dark Green.
This is consistent with the Lego instructions posted on Lego.com, since the
set includes one 6290600 according to the instructions.
The derived item with a sticker, 22385pb304, also in the inventory of that set,
claims it is Dark Green. I believe this needs to be updated to be Green.

| Hi,
On the 19th I tried to add a stickered item to the catalog, and I added an image.
Should those appear in the forum, and if not, does it mean that my request did
not go through?
I was trying to add part 45677pb161 (I can't remember the exact number at
the end, but I looked at recent sticker numbers from that part number and chose
the next one) from D.Va & Reinhardt set 75973. It seemed like it allowed me to
submit it and to submit the image. Just double-checking  Jennifer's link
explaining how to upload stickered parts was super helpful!
Thanks,

Do we have more informations about the set they came from?
As I know, recently added pi198 and pi199 minifigures didn't appears in any
official Lego sets. The specific torso is well-know to be part of some pirates
keyrings that already have been inventoried here on Bricklink few years ago :
The torsos are, in my opinion, unused keyring torsos. I also own these torsos

|
| During parting out and adding to my inventory this set:
I noticed that 553b (aka Brick, Round 2 x 2 Dome Top, C = Magenta or 71) is without
either catalog entry or image. I was about to submit a Cat Change Request and
then I remembered the ongoing headaches regarding the Variant Project as detailed
in this message:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1451828
So, is the image and entry merely and temporarily 'down' due to Variant
Project implementation? Or is 553b entry actually gone-gone and a CCR needs
to be completed in order to make 553b part of 553? Note that there are currently
only two catalog entries for Brick, Round 2 x 2 Dome Top. One is while
553a is listed as "without Bottom Axle Holder".
FWIW, the 553 in Set 11022 has a blocked open stud.
I'm uncertain what action to take, or if I even should.

| Hello all Bricklinkers!
I found this 2 x 4 brick, in pink color (I guess...) without cross supports.
In the 3001old entry, there are no pink parts. However, I can find it at the
3001special entry (special bricks, test bricks and/or prototypes). The thing
is, all the pictures in this entry have a letter on the studs (f, c, etc). My
part have a old 'lego' logo printed on the studs. Is this still a 3001special?
Or is another kind of 3001 brick that I can't find?
Thanks in advance for your help!
(An yes, the part needs a serious bath ... )

|
| Today we received this update of items that were moved to another category:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2599
I strongly object to the movement of below parts to the Arch category.
and
The definition of an arch according to the Oxford dictionary is:
a curved symmetrical structure spanning an opening and typically supporting
the weight of a bridge, roof, or wall above it.
Neither of those parts fulfil that description. They do not span an opening.
They maybe help to raise an adjoining element.
This becomes more obvious if you look at the 39 parts that are now categorized
as Arch.
There are exactly two parts that don't look like any other part in this category,
the other 37 parts do.
See picture below or this link: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=6
I strongly suggest to undo the movement since it is not at all logical, not following
the definition of an arch and certainly doesn't a help a user to search for
an item like 4190 or 73682.
My suggestion is to move these items to Plate, Modified or Tile, Modified.
Please support my suggestion by replying with an upvote -- no need to cite
my post, just say +1

|
| Souce: sealed set (European version). It was 66gr (not 55gr that was a typo).
I note that the weight of Canadian box is about 10-11gr more. Checked this with
two copies of European box and two copies of Canadian box. Though, the size of
boxes are exactly the same and they look identical, besides the extra prints
on the Canadian box.
So
The weight of empty Canadian box: 28gr
The weight of empty European box: 18gr
The weight of Canadian complete set with box and instruction (and considering
1gr extra for a mini catalog): 76gr
The weight of European sealed set: 66gr
Please add these as additional note.
If time permits, I add photos of both boxes.

|
| While I was working on cleaning up part
I came across multiple sets such as where they have the undetermined
as a normal entry and then have a solid/hollow version as an alternate in the
set.
for example set
has
as a regular part with match ID 10
then has
as an alternate with match ID 10
but when watching a new build of the set it has
then there are sets like
where
with match ID 3 in the main section and
with match ID 3 is listed as an alternate.
so I'm a little confused as to how to handle these ones. when alternates
are the main part in the inventory and the a or b is in the alternates or when
a or b is in the main inventory and the undetermined version is listed as an
alternate is this something that happened when the part was separated? I dont
really know what to do with these
Thanks!

|
| Hello,
I think there is something wrong with how super model sets are treated in the
catalog. I use this site in many different ways and buying stuff is just one
of those ways, another way would be to look for part lists to rebrick sets and
when it comes to super sets its quite sad that you have to either look for the
parts of the main sets, which means including lots of parts you dont really need,
or just go with the instruction and ignore bricklink as a helping hand in finishing
them - which I think right now is the better way...sadly.
I recently rebricked M-Tron Secret Space Voyager
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=6862-1#T=S&O={%22rpp%22:%22100%22,%22iconly%22:0}
and now i will start Blacktron II Super Vehicle
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=6861-2#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}
I think there should be lot of other sets with the same problem. It is not very
helpful for people who want to rebrick those, it they can't access a part
list.
Greetings

I have discovered that the LEGO House Tile has 2 versions, see below.
Appeared in sets 40502, 40501, 4000010 and 21037, with PCC 6089148.
And it was updated to:
And this newer version appears in sets 40503, 40563, 40504 and 40505, with PCC
6320270.
Once the newer tile has been approved I will update the set inventories above
accordingly, and add a relationship between the 2 tiles.
I have put in a request for the version currently in the catalogue to change
it's name and remove it's second PCC.
Any questions just let me know!
Thanks,

|
| Hello,
This is regarding my new minifigure submission (njo884x; althought I'm not
the one who added the "x" ).
The minifigure was included in "b24njo02pl". The Polish title and multiple
mentions inside the book suggest a "hunter", although the English publisher
site (https://www.ameet.eu/book/lego-ninjagoempire-warrior/) mentions the following
names:
- "Imperium Warrior" (on the cover)
- "Imperium Hunter" (in the description)
- "Dragon Hunter no 29" (multiple mentions inside the book, can also
be found among book pictures on publisher's site)
Parts wise:
- torso, legs, head and helmet are the same as in njo815 ("Imperium Claw
General" )
- the only difference between this minifigure and njo815 is the lack of "Black
Minifigure Armor Shoulder Pads Spiked with Stud on Back"
- a "Imperium Claw Hunter" (njo817) is already known, but has different
set of torso, legs and helmet
Please advise how to correctly add this minifigure.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best,

|
| Is it possible to add a decimal for the reference weights for pieces (or at least
optional for very small pieces like the 1x1 round tiles (id 98138).
In the catalogue there is a 0.11g but I assume it is something just rounded up
to 0.11g (not sure the correct number.
Background id that I thought that checking a delivery (or simply counting stock
of a higher number) is much more efficient by checking the weight. Then I checked
my last order which just arrived of supposed 3100 pieces but the overall weight
was 320g. So either the weight is more like 0.10322g (then als 0.11g would be
rounded wrong) or I received significantly less items.
So I guess I will need to manually count quiet some to have a good sample estimation
myself
Or does anyone know out there how much 1000 or 10'000 of these should weight?

| Dear catalog admins,
part 30388pb015 seems to have extra line breaks at the end of the part name,
which appear in the tab delimited download and break the formatting.
My guess may be wrong but the Parts.txt export file currently looks like the

I tried using the Change Item form but the name of the part is too long and won't
fit in the name field.
If you could have a look at this, it would be appreciated.

| Hi, I am new to Bricklink and am still learning how it works. I have many old
sets from my son, all from the late 90's and am trying to put them all together.
I have the instruction books for about 98% but am finding the books differ from
the set inventories on this site. For instance the Flame Chaser Helicopter #6531.
I have been using this reference to find all the pieces needed but now am concerned
that the instructions I have differ from the inventory I have been collecting.
Not really sure what my question is,, but am concerned the pieces don't
add up to the instruction books I have. I came online as some of the pieces were
difficult to see very well and was unsure of the colors needed. Why would these
differ from the instructions?
Hope this makes sense

or left. Inventory in general, parts lists, say that the flags for this set are

the parts lists wrong?

| What was the point of merging 44302 and 54657? The other hinge bricks/plates?
All of the element numbers are gone and now it’s going to be harder to find the
specific variant.
This catalog project was a rushed and stupid idea.
Merging parts did not move element numbers over because the merging process doesn’t
come with that built into it. Was that something that site admin considered before
this bright idea? Nope. Why bother ensuring a smooth transition when you can
carry on without a plan in mind? After all, that seems to be par for site administration.
Listening to community complaints? A waste of time.
Improving site functionality? A bigger waste of time.
Considering that a project of this scale would undermine years of progress and
effort from your catalog administrators and community members? An even bigger
waste of time.
Then, catalog administrators and community members have to clean the mess up.

I've just finished sorting a joblot of old(ish) LEGO from a recent bulk purchase
(contains space police and other sets from the early 90s).
I noticed that all the 2x2 bricks in trans blue, green and red have no inner
supports but these colours are not listed as known colours for this variant.
I've had plenty of those with the supports but don't remember coming
across this variant before.
I'm assuming these are fairly common but what sets do they come from?

| HI Bricklink Team
Please can you either do the catalogue changes or not - I am listing a load of
printed tiles and some have the b and some don't. this is infuriating and
is meaning it is taking me longer to list than before.
I thought the changes were there to simplify matters. so far its the opposite
in every way plus we have a worse catalogue.
Also - and I fully admit I haven't been at my best the last few weeks due
to illness, but I thought we were getting an email with the parts in our inventory
it was affecting. Did I miss this ?

|
| So, this is sort of a wider-spread issue that would be adressed across several
sets, so I wanted to make one bigger post to adress this as I'm not sure
whether this should be handled through a note or through inventory changes, and
I want to ensure consistency.
I've noticed that several sets with SQUARE rubber bands, the set typically
includes twice the amount of rubber bands necessary to build the set, and these
are typically also included in the piece count listed on the box. However, on
Bricklink, these parts are handled inconsistently.
I've only looked at BIONICLE sets, for the time being.
The following contain 2 rubber bands in their piece count shown on the box, but
only uses one:
8545 Whenua already handles this through a note.
These are duplicates of the above sets but don't show a piece count:
Nui-Rama contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
2 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 138 - It erroneously excludes all 8 rubber
bands.
Strangely, on Bricks & Pieces, the pcs count is 294. In a LEGO Shop At Home catalogue
I've found, it is 246.
Muaka & Kane-ra contains 12 XS and 16 S rubber bands, but only 6 XS, respectively
8 S, are used in the main model, and 1 XS and 4 S in the alternate model. Box
pcs is 647.
Manas contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and 6 in
the alternate model. Box pcs is 442.
The same LEGO Shop At Home catalogue mentioned for the Nui-Rama, however, shows
the count of 428 - not sure what's up there.
Nui-Jaga contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
4 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 218. Like Whenua, this one is already
noted.
Tarakava contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
2 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 401.
As a tangential addendum of notes to add:
Exo-Toa box pcs is 360, erroneously excluding the rubber bands.
Lewa Nuva box pcs is 36 - as already noted, all of the 38 pieces in the set are
used in the instructions one way or another, and Bricks & Pieces says 38 as well.

|
| There's the Tile, Modified category, which includes parts like
All of which are obviously indeed "modified", because they are tiles
with something extra. So why aren't these round tiles (among others) considered
modified as well?
The same applies to plates; with the current logic, these are just a few that
should be Plate, Round, Modified. It's ... interesting to note that these
parts are instead spread across two categories as of now (Plate, Round & Tile,
Round).
But that's all about categories that don't exist yet. On a more immediate
note, I also wonder what the catalog's logic is for categorizing jumpers.
To me, they look primarily a tile, so I would think to look under Tile, Modified.
Especially with parts like
Bear with me here, I'm using that extreme example to make a point: It seems
like it meets the requirements to be classified as a jumper (flat piece with
studs only in the middle, and antistuds on the bottom). And when you look at
that part, or an officially recognized 1x2 jumper, do you see "a tile with
studs", or "a plate with studs not there and/or moved to the middle
of the part"? The latter is nonsense, frankly. Never mind the fact that jumpers
now have a groove, a feature which is reserved for what? Tiles.
And look at parts like
that are already under Tile, Modified, and rightly so. Now look at a jumper.
Is that jumper closer to the above part, or the below part from Plate, Modified?
I'm sorry, but the answer is obvious. Jumpers are modified tiles.
Similarly, more catalog browsing leads us to this part, which is under Plate,
Modified, despite being an undeniable relative of 33909 (and therefore should
most certainly be considered a modified tile)
Anyway, to sum it up, I think the categorization logic needs better consistency.
Modified round tiles/plates should get their own category, and jumpers should
go under Tile, Modified instead of Plate, Modified (and if they're round,
put them under the newly created Tile, Round, Modified). I'm curious about
the current reasoning for the way this all is right now. I'm sure I'm
not the first to think of these things, and while I feel strongly about these
changes and that my logic is sound, I'm obligated to assume I'm missing
something and that it's the way it currently is for a reason.

|
| Hello
Collecting parts for 6468-1. Part 6014u is listed. Trying to decide between
6014a and 6014b. Colour of interest is white. Set year is 1999
Observations from catalog:
6014a: all colours 1991-2003, 163 sets -- year 1999, 24 sets -- 16 White,
2 Light Grey, 6 Yellow.
6014b: all colours 1999-2024, 563 sets -- year 1999, 1 set White
Further Part 6014a is a subpart in to Parts:
6014ac01(6014a 6015) and
30187c01 Tricycle with Dark Gray Chassis & White Wheels
Using part 30187c01, a search of the catalog identifies problems with inventories
of the following sets:
1) 6459-1 1999 lists parts Yellow 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014u
Recommend changing it to 6014a.
2) 6636-1 2002 lists parts White 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014b
Recommend changing it to 6014a.
3) 7034-1 2003 lists parts White 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014b
Recommend changing it to 6014a.
4) 4556-1 1999 lists parts Yellow 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014b
Recommend changing it to 6014a.
Of most interest to me in regard to set 6468-1 is the likely error in set 4556-1
as it is the only set in the year 1999 where part 6014b appears. I would argue
that if that set is changed to 6014a, then there would be no sets before 2000
where 6014b appears. That would suggest strongly that set 6468-1 should also
be changed to 6014a.
Hope this is helpful to the BL community

The hole in part 30103 is deeper inside, as you can see with the bar inside.
Does this need to be indicated and parts separated ?
Thank you,
Nicolas

| I have an entire pile of these that won't come apart. I noticed that in the
catalog there is a note: Early versions are believed to have been glued or
melted together at the factory.
I'm wondering if they are glued and if so, where would they have come from?

| Why is the round Friends alien in set 42605 not considered a Minifig, while their
slimmer sibling from the City sets (cty1727) is? The instructions do not have
this figure as part of a larger assembly, so there is no reason for this
egregious double-standard!
Please remove parts 3262pb05 (Lime, 1x) and 15469 (Lime, 1x) from the main inventory
of set 42605, and add the alien Minifig entry that I created. I will have a pic
of the Minifig up later.

| hi,
what I do not understand is why head 3626bpb0054 [blocked open stud]is in the
search page
and variant 3626apb07 is not..while in the example picture the top one is clearly
the one with solid stud .
many other heads apear sepparate in the search page ..solid/open/blocked open
and this one does not..only in the blocked open page [when opened] as variant.
what could be the reason?

| Hello,
I have a Maxi Zoo set (numbered 2669) that was around in Brazil in the 90s. It
is different from the 2669 referenced on Bricklink: it came with a "Duplo
Figure, Male, Black Legs, Green Top with Vest, Gray Hair, Glasses" instead
of a "Duplo Figure, Child Type 1 Boy, Yellow Legs, Blue Top with Red Suspenders,
Red Hair, Freckles, White in Eyes", and the trees were two brown "Duplo,
Plant Tree Trunk Segment Base" (picture below).
Could this version be added to the catalog as 2669-2?
Best regards,
Eduardo

| I was working on the archive for a few parts when I was working on 30151 when
I remembered an old thread
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1408010
and that these parts are being merged
For reference the old version 30151a (blocked open stud) along with (presumably)
some versions of 30151b are able to hold a connection with
and Meanwhile multiple of 30151b (hollow stud)
have no connection and falls right off making it not usable for the figure.
Should this be looked into more before they are merged? it is a functional difference
used in official lego sets.
Ive confirmed this 100% with parts on hand and would include pictures but I dont
exactly know how to include pictures of a part falling off.

| Hello again everyone,
This is my official response to the video from R.R. Slugger concerning the merging
of part variants in the BrickLink catalog:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGRxNX8Cg_o&t=1s
Here is an initial response to the video, specifically regarding the set inventory
for the Core Magnetizer:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1450164
Here is today's response:
*************************************
I’ll start with a couple points I actually agree with Slugger on:
1) BrickLink certainly is an invaluable tool, and one of the things that has
motivated me to invest in the catalog over the years, long before I became a
community admin or started working in the BrickLink office, was knowing that
whatever corrections or additions I would make would instantly circle the globe
and potentially benefit thousands of fans everywhere.
2) Regarding the suggestion to double down on accuracy – that is actually what
we’re doing, if you look at the big picture. I remember discussing with one of
the authors of the LEGO Collector books that came out a few years ago:
and one of the points we discussed was why certain things weren’t included in
a publication that was so comprehensive. The answer was that if a particular
data field didn’t have at least 80% of the data, then there were questions raised
as to how useful that field would be.
Of course this case does not cover all of the changes being made to the BrickLink
catalog, but it does pertain to some of them. The smooth slopes and frosted bricks,
even after 20 years of accepting data from the community, have a very weak connection
to our inventory system. Many of the parts are not represented even a single
time, and of those that are represented, there are serious questions as to the
accuracy of the inventory change requests.
The biggest obstacle in separating variants on BrickLink, especially the older
ones, is lack of real data. So the question comes up, should we have entries
on BrickLink that can’t or never will be represented sufficiently in the inventory
system?
Being orphaned or partially orphaned from the system is a bad thing, and our
stance on that is one of the things that has really changed since Dan built the
inventory system in the early 2000s. It used to be acceptable to have entries
floating around just for buying and selling, but over time we have realized the
power of our inventory system, to the extent that we now use artificial inventories
to represent certain parts (like BAM parts):
By removing some of these variants, the accuracy and inclusiveness of the inventory
system goes up, and that is the primary driving force behind these current changes.
Why not just fill out the data instead of consolidating entries? Because we simply
do not have the data, and if we did, we couldn’t handle it all anyway. There
is no way we can add thousands of new minifigure inventories to the system simply
to accommodate different types of studs.
Next I’d like to give an actual example or something that WILL be lost in
the transition.
Slugger is right – just because the example he gave may not have been the perfect
example, it doesn’t negate the point that something will be lost. So here goes:
Set 7171 from 1999 (Mos Espa Podrace):
is one of the celebrated early Star Wars sets and as such we may consider it
to be at the pinnacle of collector interest. In that set is a yellow dome with
a “blocked open stud” which is part no. 30151a:
[p=30151a,3]
The next version of that part by all accounts was introduced around 2010,
[p=30151b]
and by that time, the Mos Espa Podrace had long been retired. So we can say with
reasonable certainty that this set came originally with domes with blocked open
studs. If you see a copy of the set sitting on someone’s shelf and the domes
on Anakin’s podracer have hollow studs (no little Mercedes symbol), that is a
sure sign that the parts, and maybe even the whole set, is not original.
So if the BrickLink catalog stops distinguishing the “a” from the “b” version,
someone might build it wrong and wouldn’t even know it! However, as a quiz question
for savvy readers, why would this scenario never actually happen in the real
world? What do we know about these the 30151 variants that puts this problem
completely into the realm of the hypothetical?
Next example, set 4778-1 from 2005 (Desert Biplane):
This is not Star Wars buts it’s still a classic in my book. There is a different
kind of dome on the front of this plane (553), but it has the same issues as
the previously mentioned dome part.
[p=553b,5]
This set is from 2005, so it’s not likely that it ever came with the “c” variant.
The 2008 appearance is in the first UCS Death Star which had a really long production
run and has over 50 lines of variants in the BrickLink inventory:
But if this little set were produced up through 2010, there might be a real possibility
of seeing one with a “c” variant.
[p=553c,5]
So with the current merges, this is data that would be lost. People wouldn’t
know about the stud variants, and someone could get any of 3 different stud types
– blocked open, hollow, or even vented. All three exist in red.
[p=3262,5]
Next up is set 6745-1 from 2009 (Propeller Power).
This also has a red 533 on the nose of the plane, but here the inventory system
says it could have either the “b” or “c” variant. Check the change log to see
if you recognize any of the people who added these variants to the set:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=6745-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1
We’re pretty sure this came with both “b” and “c” types. It didn’t come with
a vented stud, and someone might mistakenly put one on this model if BrickLink
doesn’t educate them about it, right? That is the premise on why we need these
variants in the catalog, correct?
The thing is, how can we tolerate the difference of stud type in this model,
and not in other models where it is historically incorrect? In this plane model
from 2009, both are correct, so what does that say about the mixing of variants
in other models?
True collectors know that there actually is no replacement part that will ever
perfectly replace a part that is lost. The only truly correct part is the part
the set originally came with. It’s nice to get as close as possible to a correct
replacement part, but it’s a futile attempt.
So I will admit that something is lost in the catalog by harmonizing all the
hollow studs types. But the second message is that whatever is lost is quite
unimportant in relation to the effort it takes for the BrickLink community to
recognize these variants.
We weighed it up, and decided that stud types are not important enough. They
have some importance, and there are some workarounds available for the people
who really want to go down that path. But overall, what we seem to be losing
is less than what we believe we are gaining.
**************************************
One more detail about the video – in navigating around the BrickLink catalog,
I noticed Slugger used the new inventory tab on the catalog page instead of the
proper inventory page accessible by the link at the top of the page.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=6989-1
There are multiple problems with this version of the inventory. First, there
is no link to the change log, which for specialists is a must. Reading the change
log lets you determine the accuracy of the data you are consuming.
Second, the match IDs do not line up with the inventory notes, so any mention,
for example, of “match ID 99” (which is critical to understanding variant inventories)
doesn’t make any sense.
Indispensable
Some of my colleagues were surprised to see such a strong reaction from our users
on this topic. But the fact is, variants are an indispensable feature of the
BrickLink catalog and they are one of the main reasons for the “sealed set” standard
we maintain for new inventories. Keeping this standard comes at a cost, and it’s
important for people to know that all of this work and energy is appreciated.
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1103
BrickLink is not descending into a parts oblivion where nothing is distinguished.
I made that very clear from the very first announcement. This is simply a mid-way
correction to enable us to do better at what we already do. I trust that over
the coming months and years you will come around to believing me on that point.

| Hello,
I opened a new mold for 66912
in set
It's molded 100936 and has slight differences in the lock of hair in the
front and the bandana ties in the back. It weighs .05g less and is about 2mm
smaller. It's very difficult to measure.

| I have a shitty old spreadsheet where I track the market (and insurance) values
of Bionicle masks, and I've just been doing entries manually. It's due
for an update, but I've started using BrickStore for a lot of this sort of
stuff in the meantime. I know BrickStore has pricing functionality, I use it
pretty often but I'm still a novice with the program in general.
Is there an easy way to grab the entire BrickLink 'known' Bionicle Kanohi
Mask catalogue in one fell swoop, or do I still need to add masks individually
through BrickStore/wanted list/whatever? There's like ~540 items to add just
for G1, and that's gonna suck to input manually, even with auto pricing!
Cheers
