  Hello everyone,

I am considering printing out labels to upgrade my currently subpar inventory
labels and I was wondering how other sellers have gone about doing that? Is
there a template somewhere provided by Bricklink I am unaware of that would be
good to work off of?

I use a lot of Akro-Mils plastic organizers, I wonder if any other sellers use
those as well?

Thank you for any information you may provide!

Regards,
Captain Q

I have a number of the Akro-Mils with the different drawer styles and they are
amazing. I've actually also purchased a Dymo LabelManager 280 and came up
with a grid number scheme for sorting and finding. Each tower was lettered (A,
B, C...) then each row was numbered, then letter for the drawer across. In my
inventory then, I've added the "location" in the remarks so that when I need
to find something, I tells me exactly where I need to go. For instance 3001
in blue location 6-D2. I spend a littl more time on the front end sorting, but
it's made it a lot easier and labeling the individual drawers was perfect.
I also then used the labeler to print out labels for all of my minifigs so the
bag is easier to find as well.

I don't know if it is the light reflection or not, but they look like
a metallic blue color which Lego does not have. Also, if you look at the 3D
render of that part, the Lego piece is not exactly round but has number of cuts
like a decagon. I would say fake.

Old versions (possibly from the 70's) of this part has a round hole, never
versions have hexagonal holes. So I believe this may be a genuine old part that
has been coated afterwards, i.e. the coating is not original.

That is true, this is possible. None the less, with that coating, they are destined
for the can or a kids play lot.

  The large danger


printed on the box and instructions is upside-down comparing to the one printed
on the actual sticker sheet. Clearly, people were not supposed to peel off the
sticker from the sheet and rotate it 180 degree in order to correct it as per
instructions.
I have four copies of this train and the previous owner applied the sticker as
on the sticker sheet.
Also the way it is printed on the sticker sheet make more sense.
So I suggest to accept
[p=3010pb296rej,0]
and add a note

"The stickered brick .... is applied as it appears on the sticker sheet but the
instructions and box art show it applied upside down. Since both ways are correct,
the alternate item 3010pb293 .... is also added in the counterpart section."

3010pb293 Brick 1 x 4 with Black and Yellow Danger Stripes Pattern (Sticker) - Sets 7720 / 7760
Parts: Brick, Decorated

This image for the brick in question and the box are actually the correct orientation
for this sign. Yellow/Black danger signs are meant to slope away from the "hazard"
and point the driver or person otherwise around or away from the hazard. In
this case, the hazard is in the center of the front of the train ad the slope
is meant to point the person to the sides of the engine car, not the middle.
Think of it this way, when you are driving at night on the road and you see
this type of sign, you eyes follow the slope of the reflective color down and
you reach the road, not up to the sky.
