| It should be safe to assume that there is an error with the catalog entry for
that fig and there's likely a correct version of the fig in the catalog.
Otherwise, provide some examples.
| | But not on all of them they say why.

| I realize that since you've been appointed many things are being accomplished/changed.
However, part of me is uncomfortable that Maggie or Ronald aren't at the
head of these discussions/changes, as if they are being side-stepped in this
process.
They have been performing these duties for a long-time and I think it would go
a long way to create credibility in these decisions, if they were the voice of
the catalog reorganization process.
| | Unfortunately, I've been rather busy in the last two weeks since I was appointed.
Until I get around to addressing this issue, part assemblies are kind of up
in the air.

| No, I'm simply stating that the "rocket science" argument is flawed. It
implies that you don't need the intellect of a very scientific person, as
if said person has the capacity to know how to do everything very well.

| | So, you are saying it is difficult. We're talking about sellers here, people
who decide that they can handle selling Lego. Not every person who signs up on
Bricklink has to understand how to set up shipping methods. But I think it is
only fair that for the small portion of those members who really are serious
enough to get into selling, it should be expected of them that they're able
to handle it. If they're not, they should either ask for help or just use
some other way to sell Lego that they do understand (In fact, I think setting
things up at Brickowl is easier than at BL.)

| | And I think on the seller's side of the interface, it should also warn that
not all weight/volume/value/country combinations are covered. I think it's
the sellers responsibility to make sure that they have it all covered, it's
not rocket science. But it is true it takes some concentration and staring at
the screen to make sure everything is OK, so an algorythm that checks if there
are no holes sounds like exactly the type of thing we have computers for.

| Instant checkout isn't so simple. You can think you have all bases covered,
but later discover something that prevents a buyer from ordering.
In addition, we have no way to test our setup or see a buyer's cart to troubleshoot
an issue.
I use instant checkout, though I would never recommend, as I'm certain to
have lost orders because of it not functioning quite right.
| | A size restriction sounds ridiculous, I never saw that... How can a buyer possibly
anticipate this? There's no way of knowing how big your order is going to
be, nor is it the job of the buyer to be a mathematician even if it was. I think
sellers should have shipping methods ready for all sizes.
But sounds like the lot average problem could actually be fixed by Bricklink
itself. If they flag stores who use it properly, it will solve this frustration
instantly for every store that uses it. And is this lot average indicated in
the listings, in the same way that minimum order is? I really think it should
be.

| The left one looks like it might be old (solid) med. blue and the right newer
(semi-translucent) med. blue.
I've often wondered if/how light plays a role in how we perceive the color
these (precolored abs pellets vs. dyed (by Lego?) pellets)
In Colors, Brick_Buyers writes:
| | Hi, I recently purchased The Tower Bridge and have noticed that the medium blue
4x8 plates are actually 2 different colour. I have shown pictures below that
outline this. The instructions say there are 18 4587271 plates, actually there
are two slightly darker plates. The lighter 16 say 4-35 on the bottom but the
darker 2 say 2-35. Can someone explain this? It is the same with some of the
other medium blue colours in the set as well.

| Power Man is the name on the set box that includes this minifig. So BL's
name is correct from that point of view.
In Suggestions, fuatecelik writes:
| | Minifig sh104 is incorrectly labelled as Power Man (Victor Alvarez). I don't
know where this confusion comes from, but this figure appears in the Ultimate
Spider-Man line that is based on the cartoon series of the same name. This is
what Power Man (Luke Cage) looks like in that cartoon. Victor Alvarez is a different
character that has only appeared in the comics and who has a similar appearance
to Luke in the cartoon. But officially and canonically, this is Luke Cage.
This distinction is important because Luke Cage is a very well known and popular
Marvel character that has appeared in several media including two seasons of
Netflix television, while Victor Alvarez is relatively obscure character that
has not been adapted into other media.

| Admins are not real humans, so they have nothing better to do than work on BL
24/7. Duh!
Being a volunteer inventory admin has to be the worst. Not only are you expected
to give your time for free, but also spend $1000's per year on new sets at
MSRP to do inventories.
Oh, and to the OP: 3% fees is the exact same I paid when I started selling here
in 2003. Please find me another company that you can say the same about. Ebay
was 10% the last time I sold something.

| Of course they are different. Did you read the descriptions? That would give
you a clue to the difference.
In Catalog, zux writes:
| | Just found out someone has added two parts that need to be distinguished as they
are slightly different but pictures doesn't provide any visual clue. Basically
pictures are useless since there is no difference whatsoever.
Parts in questions:
* | | 44301a Hinge Plate 1 x 2 Locking with 1 Finger on End with Bottom Groove
Parts: Hinge |
* | | 44301b Hinge Plate 1 x 2 Locking with 1 Finger on End without Bottom Groove
Parts: Hinge |
These are slightly better, but difference is barely visible:
[P=44302a]
[P=44302b]
Why there's no picture with both items placed side by side helping in distinguishing
the difference?
How did this slip into catalog?

| Is there any chance that paired items such as wedges (left and right) would receive
their own entry in the catalog, much like the pair of minifig arms entry?
Example:
Super-lots are a pain to work with and BL buyers don't seem to read listing
notes that items must be purchased with matching side (maybe due to generating
carts from wanted lists).

|
| The picture for this minifig seems fake or maybe a digitally altered photo from
Lego.
I find it a bit misleading since the head on the actual fig is garbage and certainly
not like the BL minifig photo. My head is such a thin yellow that the black
shows through in most spots.

| Marked for deletion only means that you can no longer sell under that catalog
entry. Unless a policy changes, this flag will likely take a long time (a decade?)
before inventory runs out and it is able to be deleted.

| | Russell,
will there be (or maybe there is already) some warning for sellers before an
undetermined variant is deleted? If I remember correctly, previously I received
a notification about items marked for deletion, but for the flags I didn't

| What piece is it that you still need?
| | Likewise as a buyer I think its ridiculous to not be allowed to cancel an order
for 2 weeks if the vendor wont even communicate whether or not they will even
send it! I paid for my items 2/27/18. Altho I have sent several emails. UT I
HAVE STILL YET TO HEAR FROM 1 of my vendors if they are even going to ship my
merchandise. I have received my merchandise from a vendor who was moving his
warehouse and 1 that was form the Netherlands. It's a tiny order & very little
money. But if they didn't want to mess with such a tiny order, they should
have told me! Bricklink chose the vendors, NOT ME! Now I can't build, because
I need a piece I was expecting to get from them. I submitted a problem response
through this system. It's a common piece but I shouldn't have to order
it again or go to a Lego store.
