[sh693]

From Set 76175.
Hmmm, that's a tough one. The box front advertises Peter Parker (see attached
image). We could include the mannequin as the standard figure in the inventory,
but I think people will want the Peter Parker figure as advertised - so maybe
include s693 as an inventory alternate?
|
Why not have the inventory of the figure include both heads?

| | However, this does bring up a larger point about which types of images serve
our users the best. To be honest, the old renders with black lines were terrific
at the 80 x 60 size, and I've long considered the idea of bringing them back
as an option, specifically for sellers picking orders.

If enough people think they are an improvement over what we have now, we could
maybe give an option to select one or the other depending on preference.

I agree that the older renders with the black edges were terrific. One reason
was their simplicity, but another was consistency. I've browsed stores
where I'm looking at one color category of parts, and the small images are
not all the same color. (This is most noticeable with light bluish gray and
dark tan.)
I would love an option for viewing the original style thumbnail images. Maybe
it could be some checkbox or dropdown menu option?
All attached images are just for nostalgia.

The 2X2 round plate is listed in the inventory of the EV-A4-D minifig instead.

| When you use onsite PayPal, there are a couple of steps to go through, and the
final step for payment brings you back to Bricklink for payment confirmation.
Currently that confirmation page shows the icon for Admin_Jaclyn as the administrator.
I think she did a fine job when she was with Bricklink, but I also think that
any user icon that appears on that page should be of a current member of the
BL administrator team. Of course, that page could also function just fine with
a non-user specific BL logo or no image at all.
The image I've attached is from when I placed an order just today.

| As others have already mentioned, I would prefer BAMF parts listed in the catalog,
but not whole minifigs. They don't have instructions or packaging showing
what an "official" complete BAMF would be, so I think parts only would be best.

| These renames and moves make sense to me.
I remember MANY years ago when
was getting added to the catalog, and so they had to create the Roof category.
We've come so far!
Thank you for your efforts in this, and also thank you for posting the list a
while back so that people could give feedback before the changes were made.

|
The removal of the titles you created and their replacement with the word Retitle
was not a request for you to do anything further. It was merely a note to ourselves
that before approving your submissions every of them would have to be entirely
retitled to meet catalog standards.
|
I can see why the submitter would think that he needed to retitle all the submissions.
If the word "retitle" is just a note to the catalog administrators, then it
should be added in a way that is only visible to the catalog administrators (similar
to how sellers can ad notes that only they can see to their items for sale.)
Since the notes were added in a way that someone besides the catalog administrators
could see it, I assume that that's the only way to currently do it. Here's
to hoping that changes.

The cas072T is a counterpart. The BL inventory lists

I can't see why this would be a priority at all. Dark Green is clearly a
better name than Earth Green. TLC has come up with some odd color names over

David

I think the change of ALL colour names should be a priority because however bizarre
Legos colour names may seem to us it is the manufacture who made those decisions
for their product and so it’s their name choices that should take precedence?
If an established and well-known paint brand names one of their colours ‘Bright
Yellowish Green’ distributors and retailers should follow that colour guide because
by re-labelling it as ‘Lime’ they only create confusion for their customers.
The customer knows the brand of paint they want and they know the colour that
the manufacture calls it and yet the customer is expected to somehow work it
out for themselves or if they’re lucky stumble across a third party colour guide?
The variations of the Lego product are confusing enough at the best times so
why create further confusion in areas that are easily fixed?
|
Bricklink has been around for 20 years. Bricklink being owned by LEGO is a recent
thing, so for a couple decades Bricklink customers have become used to the Bricklink
color names. Changing them because TLC bought Bricklink is not logical.
Furthermore, you compare color names for LEGO parts to color names for well-known
paint brands. You mention "The customer knows the brand of paint they want and
they know the colour that the manufacture calls it," however, that's not
the case with LEGO. Very few LEGO customers are going to know that TLC calls
regular green "Dark Green" and that they call dark green "Earth Green." Changing
names like that at this point would cause a lot of confusion.

| It's hard to tell from the photos, but my guess is that they're both
Purple. TLC used to have a recognized problem with getting purple right, as
far as color consistency. It could be that both grills are meant to be purple,
but the coloring process was imperfect, and they ended up not being exactly the
same.
