Just wondering what other people's thoughts are now that they've had

I would guess that LEGO has done very little that has directly affected the site
up to this point except:
Non-LEGO items have been removed.
Some language and terms have been updated.
The sales tax/brexit/vat issues were met head on, but I don't know if LEGO
was the impetus for this.
Our volunteer admin are now called Experts.
A few surveys have come and gone...
Did I miss anything?
Lots of people are assuming the LEGO is now in direct control, but I haven't
seen any evidence that this is the case. Help Desk is still slow. Bugs still
aren't fixed. Transparency is actually getting worse. Shrug.

You are correct about the grammar. However, “less” is very commonly used this
way in the United States. Much more commonly than “fewer”. There is a fuzzy
line between poor grammar and a language evolving. They’re/there/their is clearly
on one side of the line for me, as an example, but less/fewer doesn’t bother
me.

be a note on the listing (like 2345p01)

to 92747pb01).

I am not sure about the differences, but since BL only has one entry for all
versions, it's up to the buyer to inquire if the seller has the exact variation
they wish to buy. They placed an order for 87568pb02L and you don't have
a crystal ball. ( I assume so, anyway.) I looked quickly and didn't see other
sellers listing this part with a note about the number or print color.
We need our resident Star Wars minifig expert! I only have the older version
so I can't help with the comparison.
Good luck with your buyer... hope they listen to reason.

But a lot of this comes down to simple display settings for instance on my PC
LCD they currently look perfect whereas on my Laptop they look a little too dark
but something easily adjustable for those that are bothered by it. Either way
at least all those example Lego images are uniform in colour/shading and that's
the important thing as the OP's examples show tan in different colours altogether?
besides if they're good enough for Legos official site I don't see any
reason why they shouldn't be good enough to use on Bricklink?
|
Here is where we agree to disagree. I don't how LEGO using them makes
them good enough for our uses. They are not pulling parts using their images.
The accuracy means nothing to them. They use different images in their instructions
booklets and on printed material.
I think their renders are only clear if you have another render to compare them
to. At a glance, the White look LBG, the LBG look DBG, and the DBG look Black.
The Trans images are all terrible. The Yellow all look... well not Yellow.
Would you really go pull a White part from just seeing this render? randyf's
images are WAY closer to the truth.

LEGO's are better than BL's but their colors are still bad. The old renders

is at it. If anyone ever wants an existing render to be improved, just drop me

This is a problem that can be fixed with a bit of effort and skill. I have not

I agree though, that it's more problematic when someone is deliberately copying

openly selling 'replica' capes. I have no problem with people making
up their own ideas to use on or with LEGO products, but copying is just plagiarism.
Use a different type of fabric. Cut it in a different shape, whatever. (But capes
cost too much! Real LEGO parts are expensive and that's not fair! So, we

I am wondering if perhaps the Inventory Note on these problem sets needs to move
to the Catalog Detail page.
"Due to the massive number of lines in this inventory (1000+), the BrickLink
system may time out during the partout process. If this happens, you may wish
to part out the set in two different halves."
There are too many similar Forum questions to indicate that sellers are finding
this information.
Also, how jealous am I at everyone parting this set out! What a project that

I very much doubt we are going to get one. The BrickLink office's lack of
transparency is well-documented. Personally, I think it stinks.
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
and support. I think we can all see from the XP site what our catalog would look
like without them.

I've often wondered how new set inventories are added to bricklink?
This set has been out for three weeks.
I understand that new parts need a designation.
For example parts 10283stk01 and 10283stk02 for the sticker sheets.
Can any user create the "official" inventory?
I'm eager to get this set listed so I can order duplicate sticker sheets.

Any member may contribute to our catalog. There's lots of rules and guidelines

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.

You can send messages to the 4 sellers who have them listed informing them that

That is what the standard LBG render from LEGO looks like. Almost all of the

It's easy to make your own guide: find a decorated part that only comes in
one color and use that for direct comparison. There are too many variants in
printing and monitors to trust any other method.

I keep a spreadsheet with all my sales on it. I note which zone, the weight,
and the class of service. That is tabulated into something that gives me a more
clear picture of what zone are ordering which weights. From that, I can distribute
the USPS zone costs into a rate for each weight band. Some buyers are going to
be charged more, some less, but at the end of the year I should be pretty close
the correct average. Zone 8 is getting a slight advantage, and zones 3-6 are
paying a bit more. While it would be nice for BL to get the zones to be fully
functional, I know that some buyers (i.e. everyone in zone 8) is going wince
when they see the rate they need to pay (for break even). Typically tho, if any
buyer is presented with a rate, and they know there are no more hidden or handling
charges, they buy in and go with it.
|
Thanks for sharing this info. I do see that there is a small trade-off between
exact cost and convenience at check out.

In the past 6 months, I've only had one buyer wanting free shipping … and
they were buying for resale on Amazon. So they were trying to make their cost
of acquisition lower, and at my expense. I politely declined.

What some sellers are doing, is opening a second account for testing. As long
as you do not create any real orders (i.e. with an order number assigned) it's
not hurting anything.

Yeah, I wouldn't be comfortable doing this. My rep and feedback here mean
a lot to me. (former Admin, contributor, store owner) so I will wait until it's

The problem is that we (BrickLink) cannot pay those taxes unless the seller chooses
to use an onsite payment method. We cannot force sellers to make this choice,
so it is up to these sellers to open themselves up to the larger market.
This is why some other members in this thread are advising you to contact sellers
you wish to buy from and kindly ask if they would adopt an onsite method. It
is not a lengthy process - it takes just a few minutes for those who already
have an account.
|
What Bricklink could do is inform all sellers that since mid last year they need
an onsite payment option to sell to (almost all) US buyers.
And inform them that in case of an error when trying to send an invoice they
have to check there template.
The Brexit mail was good although nothing was really said in it, but for the
US tax changes nothing has been communicated, while given all kinds of forum
posts a lot of sellers don't know about it.
|
Yes, I think there is overwhelming evidence that many sellers did not receive
the message from BrickLink regarding how the sales tax deployment directly affected
their stores. Despite all the problems and like 900 Forum posts about it, BrickLink
prefers to do nothing to solve this problem. The broken template thing was also
a bug they never addressed. Typical.

Well, you will be fine as long as you offer an onsite payment method. Paypal
can be used onsite and offsite. I don't believe that you can offer offsite

You are blaming the wrong people for the wrong things. Blame BrickLink for not
doing more to educate their sellers about the recent changes to the site that
directly affected their stores. Sellers received only one communication about
the tax update, and the relevant information was buried in it.
All you need to do is contact any sellers from whom you can't order, inform
them that they need to enable an onsite payment method, and direct them to the
Forum if they have any questions. You will be doing them, yourself, and lots
of fellow BrickLinkers a great service.
Also, many sellers have conflated onsite payments with Instant Checkout and have
resisted changing their stores for this reason. Instant Checkout is confusing
to implement and imperfect, so try to be understanding. Here is a handy chart
you can use if anyone needs convincing.
Good luck,

Comments from Submitter:
The Inventory currently does not reflect the correct stickers on parts 57906pb* in trans-dark blue and dark blue.
Looking at the instructions each of the 2 parts in the same color gets a different sticker (number 11 and 12 from the sticker sheet.
Which means the set accutally includes 57906pb014 once in dark blue and once in trans-dark blue. The same counts for 57906pb015.
After ordering some parts a while back, I just noticed this mistake while building the set.
|
The instructions I see have sticker #11 applied to the Dark Blue part on steps
87 and 100.
Sticker #12 is applied to the Trans-Dark Blue part on steps 88 and 99.
Are your instructions different?

I have two of these games Used but complete and not mixed with other sets. One is newer than the other. For future reference: the newer version has 3626cpb0628 instead of 3626bpb0121 so a new minifig entry is needed at some point.

I've seen a bad situation where BrickLink can told to use a particular shipping
method but the parts does not fit with the method, because on the restriction
on the dimensions. The problem is due to the absence of dimensions of one part
in the catalog.
In the Inventory page, I am able to list all items missing the weight in the

| I think the catalog admins have been incredibly clear about this entire process.
I have a category based store. I list a lot of used parts so I feel this is the
most efficient way. Yes, changes are disruptive, but I certainly don't have
to close down. Now that the changes are published and scheduled, it's very
manageable.
It takes me a day or two to move the individual parts and print some new bin
labels. It takes a couple weeks for me to remember something got moved as I
am going along pulling orders. The change log is always available on every single
item detail page if I forget.
I think it is pretty great that they have set up a system that accommodates stores
as much as possible while giving the entire community a chance for real input.

| In Suggestions, infinibrix writes:
| | Just an idea I’m putting out there for future consideration because with colour
abbreviations it can give you useful options for catalog use/navigation!
For starters I glanced at all the different colours and it didn’t appear to be
too difficult to give each colour a suitable 3 Letter abbreviation though it
goes without saying that a few colours may be forced to have a 4 letter abbreviation
but they will likely be just a very few obscure colours such as Very Light Bluish
Grey (VLBG) or Trans Light Bright Green (TLBG) but even if it became problematic
some colours may not even benefit as much from the need to have an abbreviation
compared to the more widely and commonly used colours
Either way here are just a few quick abbreviation examples:-
Black – BLK
White – WHT
Reddish Brown – RBR
Dark Brown – DBR
Light Bluish Grey – LBG
Dark Bluish Grey – DBG
Dark Grey – DGR
Red – RED
Blue – BLU
Dark Blue – DBL
Green – GRN
Olive Green – OGN
Tan – TAN
Dark Tan – DTN
Orange – ORG
Dark Orange – DOR
Yellow – YEL
It’s also worth mentioning that the idea would be to have these abbreviations
on display wherever we see colour descriptions which is pretty much anywhere
in the catalog and so if we had abbreviations like this I don’t think it would
take long for people to memorize them and put them to good use so that instead
of searching for ‘Dark Tan hair’ they can just search ‘DTN hair’ or instead of
‘Light Bluish Gray Helmets’ they can just search ‘LBG Helmets’. The other benefit
is that where space is limited in descriptions a Torso could contain ‘RBR Belt
Buckle’ instead of ‘Reddish Brown Belt Buckle’
However once you have colour abbreviations in places their uses can be extended
in other ways too for instance if they are combined with a minifigure part to
create a unique combined colour/part reference such as Legs-DBR (Dark Brown Legs)
or Torso-GRN (Green Torso) these combos can be exclusively used to narrow down
search results for minifigures in ways where you barely need to worry about trying
to guess or work out what keywords have been used and in some cases you won’t
even need to know the name of the character!
For Example if I start with this Henry Minifigure description in its most basic
form it would look something like this:-
Henry - Torso-RBR, Hair-DTN, Head-LNO, Legs-OGN
Granted it’s not the most visually pleasing of minifig descriptions and right
now you’re probably thinking it looks a confusing mess but translated it basically
reads ‘Reddish Brown Torso, Dark Tan Hair, Light Nougat Head and Olive Green
Legs
Now even before I add keywords to that description or even if it already had
keywords and I wasn’t sure what keywords to try? If I had that minifig in my
hand and I didn’t know the name of the character I will at least still be reassured
that with a simple search for some or all of those main minifig part colours
it will either bring up what I’m looking for or narrow it down considerably.
For example if I search for say both ‘Hair-DTN Legs-OGN’ that Henry minifig will
be the only minifigure match that comes up because it’s the only minifigure in
the catalog that currently includes both Dark Tan hair and Olive Green Legs.
Now even if I search for both ‘Hair-DTN Head-LNO’ I’m sure I will still only
get a very small page of matches and that’s before I’ve even attempted to narrow
down with character names Like Luke or Han or the colour/description of the torsos/legs
etc etc...
Essentially if minifigure descriptions were laid out in a format something like
this:-
Minifig Character/Type (*) - Torso/Arms-COLOUR (*), Hair/Headgear-COLOUR(*),
Head-COLOUR (*), Legs/Hips-COLOUR (*), (*Other Keywords)
where the (*) represents where keywords can be added for each core minifigure
component (as/when necessary) it would then mean a revised and more detailed
example of the Henry Minifigure might look something like this even though the
description may not need to be quite as detailed for helping to find this particular
minifig:-
Henry - Torso-RBR, Arms-WHT (Brown Waistcoat, White Tunic), Hair-DTN (Swept Back
Ponytail), Head-LNO (DS, Open Mouth Smile/Worried), Legs-OGN
Its worth mentioning that the ‘DS’ after head represents Double Sided Head (SS
= Single Sided) which would allow you to narrow down even further with just a
couple of extra letters added within search criteria
However one thing to also notice is that you can still search for specific colours
such as the ‘White’ print details found on legs or torsos such as the white tunic
without needing to worry about it bringing up core components in white as they
will only come up if you search ‘Arms-WHT’, Legs-WHT, Torso-WHT, Head-WHT, Hair-WHT
whereas searching for white alone would mean the colour can be set aside for
prints allowing you to be more specific with your overall minifig search results...
Here are a few more examples of how similar minifigs might look:-
Han Solo - Torso-WHT (Shirt), Hair-RBR, Head-LNO (SS, Smirk), Legs-RBR
Han Solo - Torso-WHT (Shirt), Hair-RBR (Wavy), Head-LNO (DS, Closed Eyes), Legs-DBR
Han Solo (Senior) - Torso-DBR (Jacket), Hair-LBG, Head-LNO (DS, Angry), Legs-BLK
(Printed Gunbelt)
Han Solo (Hoth) - Torso-DBL (Jacket), Headgear-DBL (Parka Hood), Head-LNO (SS,
Smirk), Hips-DBL, Legs-TAN (Printed Gunbelt)
Knight (Crusader Lion) - Torso-Red, Arms-BLU, Headgear-DGR (Neck Protector Helmet),
Head-YEL (SS), Hips-BLK, Legs-BLU
I appreciate in might not be to everyone’s liking but it does for the most part
seem to work and I’m pretty sure I could even use it to tackle all those samey
spider-man minifigs without having to worry too much about relying on vague (Web
Pattern) keywords and focusing more on the definitive colours of Torsos, legs,
hips, arms and definitive styles such as printed/legs arms etc…
But again just some ideas for another day perhaps?
|
The only abbreviations I have ever tried to use for colors are LBG and DBG and
then only when pressed for character space. Abbreviations are often difficult
to read and add to visual clutter. I am not sure why the entire minifig's
inventory would need to be listed in its name when that information is already
searchable? Sorry, I am very not onboard with this suggestion. I did a search
for 'spider-man' limited to minifigs and got 24 results. I can clearly
see all of them on one page of thumbnails and can quickly scan for the differences.
That's good enough for me!

| Please move the time for the daily maintenance (and any other site updates) to
a time when BrickLink staff are available to troubleshoot and fix problems.
Since BrickLink is global, having the site down for a few minutes will always
inconvenience someone. As your tech support is not 24/7, it makes sense to make
changes to the site when someone is around to fix problems.
It would show us all that you are serious about addressing the issues around

I have no trouble telling the difference between any colors of real bricks or

So, who can tell the difference between these two images? One is white and one

The images from LEGO are very poorly rendered with way too much light and shadow
which leads to color confusion. Our old thumbnail images had much more color
clarity but couldn't be enlarged, so what we have now is just a decent compromise.
Since the site changed to using renders, members like randyf have spent countless
hours manually adjusting each image to visually match a color.

The White items are particularly bad. I am happy to help fix any items that still
have bad part renders that are bothering you. Just send me a message with the
number and color and I will upload a color-corrected image to replace the one
we have. I really don't mind helping so don't be shy!
I will fix the White slope from your example.

It could happen if someone reserves the inventory and then does not submit it

In rare cases, an inventory admin may delete a pending inventory because the

Yes, my request was one that finally helped instigate the change, but I was very

the change seemed effortless. Many people cared about it going well and spent
even more time than me.
There is a big difference between the need for that color name change and what
is being suggested here.
I had no problem with the BrickLink color names when I was a newbie because I
started here first. LEGO names all sound weird and long-winded to me. I know
I can google a chart to cross-reference the colors because I learned it as a
newbie when I wanted to start contributing to the catalog.

He bought some from a different seller but due to our nice communication (I guess)
he asked me why the numbering of his series 13 didn’t make sense, he also missed
some and had some double.
If I am correct these leaflets are always the same unless you mark the empty
circle by yourself.
But maybe I need to be educated myself in this case...
The packages are marked with a barcode in the earlier series, later with dots/dents/pimples.
So if I am wrong I would like to know and I can give the information to my buyer
too, I will point this forumpost to him to.
Thanks already!

There were a couple of the collectors series that had a small printed number
on the instructions that was different for each set.
BrickLink did not differentiate between them.
Here's an example online:
https://jaysbrickblog.com/reviews/review-lego-minifigures-series-14-monsters/
See the 16 in the white circle on the upper corner on the back of the instructions.

If this is not helpful, no worries. Just hoping to prevent anyone from making
my mistake in future.
Question: How do most people here know these are fakes? Unless you
look carefully for the LEGO logos, which you can't do from most auction pics,
how do you tell fakes from real?
|
Honestly, the first clue that a part is fake is almost always how it feels when
you pick it up. Looking for the logo and part numbers are usually step 2 so there
is no help there regarding seeing fakes online.
I would guess items on the auction site are fake by how cheap/plentiful they
are. Many Ninjago figures only appeared in one set and are rare. If Pythor didn't
cost upwards of $20, that was the warning sign. Also, there are tons of fake
copies of this guy and the other snakes available so I wouldn't buy unless
the listing specifically claimed it as authentic.

I am going to vote against moving any of these bar parts. Just because something
can be used as a fence or a railing, doesn't mean it should end up there.
(4083 and 6187 are used more often on vehicles than fences in my opinion.) Moving
6020 and 30095 would separate them from other very similar parts like 62113 which
could also be used a fence or a ladder I guess.
Anyway, these parts are all comprised mostly of bars and should stay put.

The Building is still done at the same angle as the surface they are atteched.

I was not aware of this part variant and I have sold mine already. No one else
has verified the set. I would be comfortable just replacing the part in the
inventory, since I have no confidence that it wasn't always the new part.

The thing is that part 2479 is shown on the box and in the instruction manual.
However, my sealed set contain part 67737.

LEGO often does not update their promotional images or instruction images when
they introduce a new part variant. The printed manual is not a valid source for
part variations.

Yeah, I'm not really a LEGO purist...I started on BrickLink, so all the LEGO
names and colors names just sound weird to me. Changing our name for the category
won't affect its use, so why go against all our historical memory??
I realize that people who started on LEGO think BL names are strange too, so

Oh, my issue with credit is not with fair use or anything like that. It just
makes the catalog data opaque. We can't see who contributed what and what

It anonymizes the data and anonymous data just isn't good.
