  Having recently bought the Newbury High School and built it I am surprised to
find the dog Spencer is listed on here as Trans Clear with marbled White, when
the parts list in the inventory clearly places it in White. Should this not
be White with Marbled Trans Clear?


Similarly hs001 has a pending approval inventory in which the submitter is unsure
if the White hoodie with a Red cap should be classified as Red or White. Again
the inventory supplied with the set has this as White.

When compiling inventories should we not give greater weight to the Lego parts
list as to what colour a part is?

And yes the minifigure Jack is identical to the one in 70418-1 J.B's Ghost
Lab - hs001.

In our catalog main color is one which is on the part underside
 
Part No: 35074pb02  Name: Bird, Friends / Elves, Feet Joined with Magenta Body and Bright Light Orange Eyes Pattern (Pepper)
* 
35074pb02 Bird, Friends / Elves, Feet Joined with Magenta Body and Bright Light Orange Eyes Pattern (Pepper)
Parts: Animal, Air
That is why bright light orange not Magenta
 
Part No: 42861pb01  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Stormtrooper with Molded Black Forehead, Eyes, Nose, Chin, and Panels on Back and Printed Dark Bluish Gray Marks and Tan Dirt Stains Pattern (Sandtrooper)

42861pb01 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Stormtrooper with Molded Black Forehead, Eyes, Nose, Chin, and Panels on Back and Printed Dark Bluish Gray Marks and Tan Dirt Stains Pattern (Sandtrooper)
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear
that is why black not white

Dog underside is trans clear.

This is our policy.

  Just to add to the never-ending "identify this part" questions, it's now
been semi-officially confirmed that LEGO has created exclusive elements for the
BaM (Build a Minifgure) bins in LBR stores. I'm sure this will give more
people headaches for authenticating parts, since they will not appear in any
inventories. Looks interesting though, and I hope they keep introducing new
elements.

From month ago

  Hi,

Looks like this parts:
 
Part No: 4460a  Name: Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
* 
4460a Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
Parts: Slope
 
Part No: 4460b  Name: Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
* 
4460b Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
Parts: Slope

is taller than described as it is 4 studs high instead of 3 unless there is a
way to measure height I don't know.

Fortunately, there is no 3 studs high slope and I believe any MOCers using the
part just call it by its name and there would be no issue when building.

Strangely, part
 
Part No: 3684c  Name: Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
* 
3684c Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
Parts: Slope
and all its variants looks like to be also 4 studs
high and not 3 (last pic clearly shows the same aspect ratio as 4460).
By the way 3684 is not marked for deletion yet.

Where was the issue ? "It's not you it's us" or just me ?

Thanks.

Length and width are measured in studs, but height is measured in brick heights.
These slopes have the same height as 3 bricks stacked on top of each other.

And that is why exactly many submitters make that mistake when submitting measurements
of part to the catalog.

Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Minifig No: tlm209  Name: Rex Dangervest - Angry / Confused with Jet Pack
* 
tlm209 (Inv) Rex Dangervest - Angry / Confused with Jet Pack
Minifigures: The LEGO Movie 2

* Change 1 Part Black {42446 Minifigure, Neck Bracket with Back Stud - Thin Back Wall to 28974 Minifigure, Neck Bracket with Back Stud - Thick Back Wall}

Comments from Submitter:
New mold of this part wasn't in the catalog at the time when this minfig and set was inventoried. Set and minifig was inventoried just dew days ago. Corercting then part to proper variant found in the set.

P.S.
I checked other sets from 2019 which I inventoried
 
Set No: 70839  Name: The Rexcelsior!
* 
70839-1 (Inv) The Rexcelsior!
1816 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2019
Sets: The LEGO Movie 2
 
Set No: 471906  Name: Rex foil pack
* 
471906-1 (Inv) Rex foil pack
1 Minifigure, 2019
Sets: The LEGO Movie 2
In both confirmed old mold 42446 so they are correct (till somebody will find alternate variant)

  BTW, I found the hat. It's part 17349 (previously only been released with
print, e.g.
 
Part No: 17349pb01  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Hat, Cone Drooping, Wizard with Silver Stars and Gold Crescent Moon Pattern
*

When you have system plain part you can just add LEGO render from LEGO replacment
parts service.

I supply professional photos. I need help with that.

As complete minfigs check how other in Harry Potter are named then name it similar.
Names of minfigs should be also how LEGO names them on the box or in the offcial
description of set. (It is on LEGO S&H page)
https://shop.lego.com/en-PL/product/the-rise-of-voldemort-75965
"Includes 4 minifigures: Harry Potter™ with wand and Triwizard Challenge outfit,
Lord Voldemort™ with wand, Peter Pettigrew with wand and a Death Eater™."
So there you have minfig names

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&catString=227&itemBrand=1000&catType=M&v=1

as for weight it is not needed when submitting item to the catalog. Those things
are only needed to get things approved
number
name
image

and that is it.

Weight can be later added by users who can weight it.

Images also don;t need to be super professional
some examples
 
Minifig No: bio032  Name: Inika Toa Kongu
* 
bio032 Inika Toa Kongu
Minifigures: BIONICLE
 
Minifig No: frnd323  Name: Friends Stephanie - Gymnast
* 
frnd323 (Inv) Friends Stephanie - Gymnast
Minifigures: Friends
 
Minifig No: jw053  Name: Danny Nedermeyer - Flower Shirt
* 
jw053 (Inv) Danny Nedermeyer - Flower Shirt
Minifigures: Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar

till we can see what item looks like it is ok.

there are many users who can later correct images to better one.

As for parts names just this advise just look how other similar parts are named
and adjust it to your part

Example one of your torso, look how other are named, there are some things which
are in all torsos names.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=973pb%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
last one as an example
 
Part No: 973pb3617c01  Name: Torso Female Ninjago Robe, Black Hem, Dark Azure Scarf, Sash and Trim Pattern / Pearl Dark Gray Arms / Black Hands
* 
973pb3617c01 (Inv) Torso Female Ninjago Robe, Black Hem, Dark Azure Scarf, Sash and Trim Pattern / Pearl Dark Gray Arms / Black Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.
and template for naming torsos
Torso [here you enter describtion what pattern is on torso] Pattern / [color]
Arms / [color] Hands

  Hello

After having been on BL for a couple of years, both as a buyer and seller and
submitter to the catalog, I wanted to take up the challenge of making an inventory
for a set, and I chose set
 
Set No: 75965  Name: The Rise of Voldemort
* 
75965-1 (Inv) The Rise of Voldemort
157 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2019
Sets: Harry Potter: Goblet of Fire
because I just bought it. At this point,
I have only submitted the sticker sheet to the catalog, and I'm stuck with
10 parts that seem to be new (their PCCs don't exist on BrickLink and I can't
find them through search). I have a few questions for the upcoming work.

1) Should I leave it to a professional to do all this work? I'm thinking
that I can't provide professional pictures of the new parts and I can't
name the remaining parts or supply weight for them.

2) If the answer to 1) is "no", could someone please help me identify the remaining
10 parts or provide me with good names for the parts so I can add them to the
catalog? What do I do with the weight of the parts? I don't have a weight
with the precision needed.

Attached are pictures of the 10 new parts.

/Jan

They are mostly minifigs parts, legs, torsos etc. For inventory you should add
comelete minifigures assemblies as showed in the instruction.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?itemYear=2019&catString=227&itemBrand=1000&catType=M

This baby infant should be also added as minfig
Here you have similar ones
 
Minifig No: col339  Name: Baby / Infant - with Stud Holder on Back with Smiling Face and Small Eyes Pattern (6131197)
* 
col339 Baby / Infant - with Stud Holder on Back with Smiling Face and Small Eyes Pattern (6131197)
Minifigures: Collectible Minifigures: Series 15 Minifigures
 
Minifig No: frnd279  Name: Baby / Infant - with Stud Holder on Back with Smiling Face and Large Eyes Pattern (Baby Ola) (6193930)
* 
frnd279 Baby / Infant - with Stud Holder on Back with Smiling Face and Large Eyes Pattern (Baby Ola) (6193930)
Minifigures: Friends

After you add those as minifigs to the set than you can do their inventories

legs:
another new printed legs for the catalog
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=970c00%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
another new printed torsos
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=973pb%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
another new printed heads
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=3626c%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1

You can add them as separate parts also (by checking how they are listed in the
catalog at above links) but inv admins will require complete minifigs for this
inventory

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=199
"Minifigures - Include whole minifigures as seen in the instructions without
any hand-held accessories. Parts included in minifigures should not be included
in the Regular Items section. Sometimes a set may contain more of the same parts
found on a minifigure in the set (for example: a set includes three helmets with
castle chin guard, but only one of them is on the minifigure). In these cases
include the whole minifigure and then include any additional parts in the Regular
Items section."
