  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6398  Name: Central Precinct HQ

6398-1 (Inv) Central Precinct HQ
592 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1993
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Police

* Change {2 to 1} Part Light Gray 3938 Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Top

Comments from Submitter:
From the building instructions. There is only one of this items in the set.


This request will not be accepted as the inventory is correct concerning this
part.

One is used on Page 8, Step 2, and the other is used on Page 31, Step 27 in the
right-most call-out.

Cheers,
Randy

  Even it was a TRU exclusive, there is no TRU branding on the instructions or

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1046

Co-branded items are items that have another brand name, logo, or trade dress
on the box, in the set contents, or in the set name.


Cheating? Maybe a little, but Toys "R" Us is in BrickLink's set name.
There are additional guidelines on that page that would tend to prohibit this
type of co-branding, but they've been loosely followed going way back:

 
Set No: TRU01  Name: Toys "R" Us Exclusive Build - Quidditch Tower
* 
TRU01-1 (Inv) Toys "R" Us Exclusive Build - Quidditch Tower
38 Parts, 2002
Sets: Building Event: Harry Potter


 
Set No: TRUKAYAK  Name: Toys "R" Us Exclusive Build - Kayak
* 
TRUKAYAK-1 (Inv) Toys "R" Us Exclusive Build - Kayak
18 Parts, 2015
Sets: Building Event: Town: City: Recreation

Technically, shouldn't the set name be in curly brackets since it is not
an official name?

{Toys 'R' Us Exclusive Build: Kayak}

  So I am absolutely new to bricklink so If this is a dumb question answer it anyways,
please.

Am I correct in that I could build an inventory of all my Legos, and then from
that list see what sets I could build?

Sounds too good to be true.


The site you are looking for is rebrickable.com

Cheers,
Randy

Sets: DUPLO: DUPLO, Town: Race

* Add 1 Minifig 4555pb245 Duplo Figure, Male, White Legs, White Top with Black Zipper and Racer #2, Round Eyes, Red Aviator Helmet

Comments from Submitter:
Catalogue 1994 UK. Shows the racer figure has the updated look (4555pb245 instead of 4555pb069)


The box pictures clearly show
 
Minifig No: 4555pb245  Name: Duplo Figure, Male, White Legs, White Top with Black Zipper and Racer #2, Round Eyes, Red Aviator Helmet
* 
4555pb245 Duplo Figure, Male, White Legs, White Top with Black Zipper and Racer #2, Round Eyes, Red Aviator Helmet
Minifigures: DUPLO

Request accepted.

Fun fact: This change request actually unorphaned a DUPLO figure that has been
in the BrickLink catalog since 2012!

Cheers,
Randy

* Add 2 Part 24607 Trans-Black Windscreen 2 x 10 x 3

Comments from Submitter:
The Windscreen ist the wrong one. I rebuild the car digital in studio 2.0 an found out, that the 3x10x3 windscreen is not right. Correct is the 2x10x3 (Item No: 24607 Alternate Item No: 35159). Found in Original Instructions, ex. Book 2 Page 42.


This request will not be accepted.

The windscreen that is in that set is correct.

The version you are building is
 
Set No: 10242  Name: MINI Cooper {Reissue}
* 
10242-2 (Inv) MINI Cooper {Reissue}
1077 Parts, 2016

Comments from Submitter:
Source: set image. You can see on the image the updated look of the minifig's face. Minifig is 4555pb263, not 4555pb057.


For this rare set, we do not have much to go on besides the instructions and
the box art. Both of them clearly show
 
Minifig No: 4555pb263  Name: Duplo Figure, Male, White Legs, Blue Top with Plane Logo, Yellow Aviator Helmet, Turned Up Nose
* 
4555pb263 Duplo Figure, Male, White Legs, Blue Top with Plane Logo, Yellow Aviator Helmet, Turned Up Nose
Minifigures: DUPLO: DUPLO, Town: Airport

Request accepted.

Cheers,
Randy

What is the reason for not being able to get to this? It was brought up in very
fine detail in October last year and was brought up again this time. So between
when I first proposed everything and when it may eventually get implemented come
this October, that is one full year. I thought you were the one who wants to
solve issues instead of to keep putting them off? Or is that not the case anymore?

Just disassembled the set and found that there are grooves in jumpers 1 x 2


These requests will not be accepted.

The jumper plates with grooves are already listed as alternate parts in the set.
(See the bottom of the inventory.)

Randy

  The beatbox contents images are misleading.

 
Set No: 43102  Name: Candy Mermaid BeatBox
* 
43102-1 (Inv) Candy Mermaid BeatBox
67 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2021
Sets: Vidiyo: BeatBox
and so on.

These sets contain 16 tiles, 14 of which are random. Shouldn't the random
ones have been blurred out so as not to mislead buyers.

As they're official LEGO images, I don't think it's inappropriate
to use them (and is similar to what is shown on DOTS as there is some randomness
there too), but we should definitely have a note on all VIDIYO Bandmates and
Beat Boxes stating that there are the 1/2 exclusive tiles, and all others are
random. Without the warning we will definitely have issues with buyers not understanding
why it doesn't match.

The ones that are random could be blurred once the submitter has checked inventory
to avoid confusion. One of the things often said here is you get what is in the
image. That is no longer the case.

We do not change official LEGO images that are used to show the sets. The set
inventories will contain information about the randomness of the tiles.
