* Change 2 Part {Flat Dark Gold to Pearl Gold} 48495 Minifigure, Weapon Sword, Greatsword Angular

Comments from Submitter:
It appears that there were other parts in this set that used to be Flat Dark Gold until they were changed to Pearl Gold. The 3048s in this set were changed from Flat Dark Gold to Pearl Gold in June of 2006. It seems that the sword was just never changed. This set should not have had any color transition alternates.


Where are these images from? Are they showing opened sealed sets? If not, we
need better proof, because the swords may have been Reddish Gold.

Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:
Set was released in 2003. 44302b was not released until 2013 according to BrickLink (2006 on Rebrickable). Therefore 44302a is correct.


A sealed set that I just opened proved you are correct.

Requests accepted.

Cheers,
Randy

This item is on the inventory but is not in any of photos or in the instructions. I have the original instructions.


The original set came with
[p=4502w,5]

The guidelines for items in inventories that originally came on sprues can be
found here:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562#regularItems

Specifically:

"Parts on Sprues - Complete sprues are included in this section unless
some parts from the sprues are used in minifigures. In that case, the parts from
the sprues that are not used in minifigures are included in this section."

Basically, the dragon plume is used in a minifigure, so the other parts of the
sprue are then accounted for in the inventory.

As such, this request will not be accepted.

Cheers,
Randy

  Hi All,

I am very new to Brinklink. Is there a way I can identify a single seller who
is selling multiple parts for lego set 6086? I would looking for a few differnt
parts but buying from multiple sellers the postage cost is crazy. I have tried
looking in the sellers individual shops but the search function is not great.
Is there a quick way to find a seller selling multiple parts for this set? Thanks

  I have been looking for an app or site to inventory my Lego collection and use
that info to tell me what sets I can build or what pieces are needed for partially
built sets. Does Bricklink do this? I know about the app on apple which you
can take a picture of a collection and it will tell you what sets you can build.
I am looking for something different since my collection is very large & sorted.
I am not interested in selling pieces since I would rather use them to build.
This type of user friendly app would build the Lego world since it would make
it easier to take ones collection and turn it into great things. Thank you...

  I don't think we are ready with the Flat Silver to Pearl Light Gray switch.

It's not the same color???


I've empathy for you; Flat/Metallic/Pearl colors is a real mess.
Wishing you the best.

The issue is that some BrickLink members in the past have seen distinctions between
the colors and have registered their findings in the inventory system and to
a certain extent in their listings.

Merging Flat Silver and Pearl Light Gray is something we will likely to in the
future. But it needs to be planned, announced, and carried out in a way to cause
the least disruption.

But they are not the same color:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15206357186

https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15076958255

The only harder to tell apart are the parts that come in a softer plastic than
bricks, but if you correct the inventories and listings people get along. And
side by side images show the difference in parts that came in both colors.

There are harder colors to distinguish like Light Yellow and Bright Light Yellow,
and some Blues if you don't have parts to compare.


It should say "Merging *pre-2010* Flat Silver and Pearl Light Gray is something
we will likely do in the future." There is no plan to get rid of modern Flat
Silver.

* Change 2 Part {Dark Gray to Light Gray} 6157 Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Wheels Holder Wide and Hole

Comments from Submitter:
These parts are Light Gray according to the instructions.
Part 30389 is actually part 30389a as 30389b didn't exist until 2002 (set is from 2000). This part do not exist in Dark Gray either.

Unfortunately we can't approve change requests based on instruction images.

Some points:
- if we would do so, the minifigure (inventory) would be wrong also
- it looks like there are two versions of this set (a polybag and a Kabaya box,
only the box is in the catalog)

- the instruction available online (and on catalog image) could be from the polybag?

So we would like to see more proof.
Do you own the polybag or Kabaya box? If so, did you buy it sealed?

Diana


The polybags came inside the Kabaya boxes. They are one and the same.

  Hello,

Since the category "Gear: Card, Trading Card / Ninjago" is constantly growing,
I think it would make sense to further subdivide the category into the respective
series. Can something like this be changed automatically by the catalog admins,
or does an request have to be made for each entry? The entries can all be assigned
very well using the catalog number, so I assume that could be done without much
effort.

What do you say to that?

Best regards
Martin


If each series had all of the cards in the catalog, I could see this possibly
happening. However, as it is, there are only a couple of series that have any
significant amount of cards in the catalog. The rest of the series have very
few. For now, I think they are best left as is for ease of locating them all
in the catalog in the same location.

Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:
6538b has had a Pearl Very Light Gray photo for a little while now, and the part in the photo certainly looks like said color. I have finally found PCCs 4169194 and 4177082 for part 6538b in Pearl Very Light Gray.

Pearly Silver colors are known to display lots of variation, but I believe the part in the photo is light enough to be this color.

I went through a few Brickset inventories containing 6538, and this set did not even have one in Pearl Light Gray. The LEGO customer service replacement parts page doesn't have ANY parts available in TLG 150 Light Gray Metallic, meaning that Brickset more than likely wouldn't. It doesn't have any TLG 150 items on it. The absence of a 6538 in any silver color in the 8010 inventory suggests that this set came with a Pearl Very Light Gray axle connector piece. It would have had a Pearl Light Gray piece if it was in the set's most recent release, which it doesn't.

The axle connector can be seen in both photos. This pearl color is much lighter
than basic Pearl Light Gray.


I have a sealed set headed my way, so there will be no need to guess.

I wanna be catalog admin if I can get all those sets!! *crosses arms* your lucky
*pouts* 😂
Maybe someday I’ll take your job 😉 when are you planning on retiring? 🤣🤣🤣
jk


I don't get them for free. I have to buy them on the second-hand market just
like everyone else.

with part number
254903 on it and thought I would ask if it would be good to add as an alternate

"03" would have been either the mold number or mold position number, so there
may be others out there that have 254901 and 254902, etc. on them. It shouldn't
be part of the part number. I have added a note to the item.

Built set in collection


Asked submitter "Was this set in your collection bought new and never mixed with
parts from other sets?"

Response was "Correct; it was received new in box, put together, and then sat
on a shelf or in a box in storage fully assembled since."

Requests accepted.

It is not YET marked for deletion, only labeled in the additional notes that
it may one day be, similar to 47847pb001U has been split into L/R/B variants.

You can still list your item under the unsplit entry.

But are these variances not just molding issues depending on how far the part
was positioned relative to the central injection points?


Yes.


  I bet that that all
three variants will eventually show up in the sets that at this point contains
at least one of them.


And you would probably be correct. I would like to get rid of these "variants",
so it may happen sometime in the near future.

Cheers,
Randy

Is there a reason we need names this long? Why do we need to describe the body,
the helmet, the head, etc. all in the name? I think TIE Bomber Pilot is fine.
I was fine with the Clone Trooper changes, but this seems like overkill for a
minifigure name.

Cheers,
Randy


We need names with this much differentiation/detail, since LEGO has made a number
of different versions and renditions of TIE Pilots (many of which share parts).
The names need to be standardised, searchable, and able to differentiate between
Minifigs. (Also, no TIE Bomber Pilots have appeared on-screen; LEGO just called
this one, because it was included in a set with a TIE Bomber.)


If I search for a TIE bomber pilot, I get one search result. I don't know
why it is necessary to go into the extreme detail you are going into, as it shares
no name details with any other figure. Plus, if you are going over 150 characters
for a minifigure name, you are doing something wrong. We are a LEGO commerce
site, not a Star Wars pedant site, so we need to be cautious about going into
such enormous detail for the average user. Please stop submitting any name changes
until we reach a decision on what to do.

Cheers,
Randy

The labels are actually incorrect. Ones in blue that state "Inventory In Progress"
with a link are actually just reserved to be inventoried. They have not actually
been started. Ones in red that state "Inventory Pending Approval" can be in any
state from having just been started to actually being verified. In the case of
the set you are inquiring about, it is being worked on, but is not yet complete.
When it is completed, it will be verified in a day or two.

Cheers,
Randy

  Im confused by the labling, ie when you look it up it shows:
Inventory Pending Approval (?) in RED / not a link, I thought this meant it is
just waiting to be verified / approved.
But when its in 'Blue' its a link you can click on that takes you to
a list of sets people are still working on / pre-approval (which i though was
limited to 5 days).
Am i reading this right ? Can't find anything in BL help about the distinction
/ exactly why some are in Red (not clickable) / why some are in Blue with a link
etc.

Are you sure? The part is listed as Reddish Brown in the instructions manual
and in the replacement parts data.

  Hello!

For a very long time, one of the parts in my inventory doesnt give me a rest.
Its color isnt lime, it is darker. It also doesnt match other green colors. According
to Rebrickable, this color is called Fabuland Lime and is found in sets
 
Set No: 2754  Name: Bathroom
* 
2754-1 (Inv) Bathroom
11 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1986
Sets: DUPLO: Playhouse
and
 
Set No: 2770  Name: Play House
* 
2770-1 (Inv) Play House
64 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1986
Sets: DUPLO: Playhouse
If You study the photos of these sets on the Internet, the difference
in shade will also be noticeable.
What is the position of the catalog administration on this issue? Does this all
refer to lime or should it be a separate color?

Sincerely, Elena.


This color was introduced to BrickLink as "Fabuland Lime". The inventories and
parts will be updated shortly.

Cheers,
Randy
