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

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:

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

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.

| There is not really any good data to go on in regards to this. The original inventories
for the set and the minifigure that contains this helmet do not have sources
listed and I don't have any solid images to go on, so I feel that we can
only look at what is available. And that is the instructions.
Since the instructions show a type of 193b and the image of the minifigure in
the BrickLink catalog also shows a type of 193b, I feel it is enough at this
time to substitute the 193au entry in the inventory of
with 193bu.
Therefore, this request will not be accepted, but the minifigure inventory will
be adjusted to better align with the image of the figure and instructions.

| | Well, I got my hands on an instruction of set 1496. In those pictures it is clearly
the black helmet 193b1 (Thick Chin Strap - without Visor Dimples). Not that instructions
allways are telling the right story, but I think it is good to add the 193bu
as a counterpart. In that case any black helmet 193au or 193bu will fit this
set. Anyone agrees with me?

Comments from Submitter:
I am wondering or the black 193au (193a1 and 193a2) are the right one. Pictures
on the web are not conclusive. Black helmet 193a1 does not excist and black helmet
193a2 is from 1978 till 1986, as set 1496 is from 1987.
Maybe black 193au is not right. Maybe it is 193bu (193b1 and 193b2). It can not be 193b1, because this helmet is from 1984. So maybe it is the black 193b2? It fits the timeline (1978-1987) with the set 1496 from 1987.

I’m actually at this time against any further "new" features on BL - the

we have enough experience to say now that any new feature comes with so many
problems that you are better off aborting when the idea is still gestating

Comments from Submitter:
Hello,
I think I have stumbled over a problem regarding the Yellow Brick 1 x 4 with Red Danger Stripes on Printed White Background Pattern, mold number 3010p15.
Actually, there are two separate patterns for this brick but one is not recognized by Bricklink catalog. The error affects to my understanding sets 6329, 6422 while in set 6565 the correct pattern appears. This can easily be verified by looking at the the official photos of the sets as also provided by Bricklink. Please, count the number of red stripes or check the color of the pattern in the corners! So a new piece has to be introduced into the catalog and sets with the corresponding numbers should be checked.
In the sets 9287, 4222 and 1106 the brick is also present but I am not completely sure which pattern is there to be found.
Hope this small error can be clarified or removed from the catalog.
Have a nice day
PZ

Comments from Submitter:
I was parting out the set today and noticed that mine came with 4 61190d, not 2 as stated in the inventory for the set. The part lists states 2. This needs to be changed. I looked at my other 6 battle packs and all 4 of my sets come with 4 61190d pieces, not 2. In order for the forum to go through I had to put to delete the item then add it again. Thanks, - SB

Check
and
in the set.
There they are.
This request will not be accepted.

Yep. Nice catch!
It is used in Step 10 on Page 87 of the instructions. The other one in the inventory
is most likely an extra that was not removed from the Regular Items section when
it was added to the Extra Items section.

Sets that were released less than a year ago *must* be inventoried from a sealed
set. In this case, someone submitted the inventory who did not actually have
the set. Once it was communicated that they did not have the set, the pending
inventory was deleted so that someone else who actually has the set can have
a chance to submit the inventory.

No offense meant, but that is a not a good idea. "Gray" and "Grey" mean the exact
same thing, so "Light Gray" and "Light Grey" mean the exact same thing.
Any names chosen for the different grays are going to be confusing to some people,
no matter what. It is absolutely unavoidable. The names BrickLink uses are ingrained
in the LEGO culture worldwide. They may be confusing to some new to the hobby,
but any color names are going to be confusing to those new to the hobby. The
history of LEGO has a rich color palette that needs to be *learned*, and that
is also unavoidable. Therefore, I see absolutely no reason to change the names
of the grays unless they are changed to the official LEGO names. That would be
the only one worth considering, since LEGO will never reuse the names ever again
even if they changed to other gray colors in the future. Any other change just
for change's sake is truly unnecessary.
Cheers,
Randy

The grays are a difficult area because of the history behind them. We can't
just rename one set of grays without renaming the others. The easiest way to
screw everyone up is to start calling the newer grays the same names that were
just used for the older grays. It would be a huge mess.
|
Not if as others have mentioned the old greys are renamed first and the newer
greys are changed however much later even if thats a whole year or so later!
|
I am sorry, but the terms "old" and "new" are meaningless. They are relative
terms that mean different things to different people at different times. The
catalog is trying to move completely away from relative terms because of that.
I do not see adding more of those terms as a solution to anything. For instance,
if LEGO were to introduce new grays in five years, we have to go through the
whole dance again because LBG would now be *yet another* "old" gray.
| | | | However, there is a need to be able to use the official LEGO color names on the
site.

If that is the intended plan of action then that would be the ideal outcome that
would supercede all the concerns I have about Bricklink colour names. If it ever
happens?
|
It could definitely happen. I have personally worked behind the scenes to solve
a number of color issues over the last 1.5 years by having some new colors added
to untwine colors that are combined in relation to official LEGO colors, having
some colors renamed to make them simpler, adjusting tons of inventories, communicating
with some of the color experts out there, etc. This is a focus area of mine,
and I am trying to move the site in a better direction when it comes to all of
this. I am very confident that we will be able to make some headway on this in
the near future. In other words, you are being heard.
One of my next goals is the Pearl Light Gray versus Flat Silver issue. If you
want to talk about a problem area, then this would be it. Light Gray versus Light
Bluish Gray has nothing on this one.
Cheers,
Randy

However, there is a need to be able to use the official LEGO color names on the

The way to solve this problem is to add a column to the BrickLink color table
in the database that would store the official LEGO color name alongside the BrickLink
color name. The site would then use the BrickLink color names in the catalog,
but the LEGO color names could be searched for and cross-referenced to the BrickLink
color names when necessary.
This would require the site to develop the solution and implement it, but it
should be the long-term goal of the site.

Randy

Comments from Submitter:
From a sealed set. Regarding 32064c - in my set there was a mix of 15 x 32064b and 14 x 32064c.
-- the question is if the set really came with the part 32064 which is already there as alternate part
|
The history of the 32064 parts is that 32064c was the first mold used until ~2006-2007,
32064b was the second mold used, and what we now call 32064 has had two variations
since 32064b.
So, the 32064 entry in this set will be replaced with 32064c and 32064b.

Randy

We will certainly miss him, and we wish him the best for the future. You can

1x1 round plates from sealed seats I've bought in local stores and parted

Yep, lots of variation in this color. They used to be noticeably more yellowish
on occasion — the newest ones have fixed this problem, but they're now a
bit more milky-looking than before. I think they changed the plastic type.

They did change the plastic used for transparent parts (from polycarbonate to
methyl methacrylate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), but the color problem existed
before that.
