Part 61073 also identified, last two is the bar and what resembles a wheel. I
think the wheel is possibly not even Lego at all because it lacks the Lego branding
but does include the part number - 032733 + 2. I wonder what it is.

Hi,

According to BL's TOS you must be of legal age or 18 at least to register.
That is completely understandable from the buying/selling point of view.

But what about a junior account without the privileges to buy or sell?
Kids could browse the catalog, make wanted lists - maybe "publish" them or somehow
share them with "proper" users (e.g. parents) and get used to the platform.

This would lead younger users to BL without being "illegal" and without the chance
to make "bogus" orders or other interference with the "business" on this site.

Just an idea as my daughter is building a lot of stuff in Studio and would like
to create her own wanted lists in BL and is generally interested in this site.

Hi,

today I received payment for two orders in "ready" status. So I went packing
them and after that I drove them to the post office right away. Upon my return
I wanted to set these orders directly to shipped. - Not possible - had to set
them to packed first, save, and then to shipped and save again. Just a minor
issue compared to other ones already mentioned but still annoying.
The orders would have been in "packed" for less than 15 minutes. Why make this
mandantory?

should also be more stuff as there were outputs for the motors and also a swichted
output for the flashlights (in fact is was a constant output in which you would
plug in a "Flash Light Unit" (x543) to have flashing lights).

In your picture I only see two springs leading to only one reversible output
which is used for the decoupler and switch.

  Hi

I have a 8x10 remote control without buttons that I want to sell in case anyone
can use it as spare parts (e.g. reuse the springs). But because I can't identify
it by the buttons, I need to know: Are the inside of all five variants the same
(e.g. only the print different)?

  It would be helpful if you could set the colour of items in a Wanted List to
"I don't care" or "any".

Sometimes you want to build something but really don't care what colour the
pieces are; e.g. an internal structure or some sort of technic mechanism; you
just want them to be as cheap as possible.

With this option when you searched stores for parts it would ignore colour, but
still select based on cost and volume etc.

/ben

Just set the color to "Not Applicable" will do the trick.

Regards,
Jan

As I keep my inventory in a custom database which uses the BL parts and categories
as core data, I was wondering if there is a way to download the "Item Relationships"
as a CSV file.
Currently I am working on a way to complete MOCs from my existing inventory.
This means I load a "wanted list" for the MOC into my system and then I get an
output of which of my lots match the items on that list. As my inventory is carefully
maintained reflecting all part variants I only get the exact same part into my
list. For my MOCs I do often not care which part I am using.
E.g. if I have some
 
Part No: 92950  Name: Arch 1 x 6 Raised Arch
* 
92950 Arch 1 x 6 Raised Arch
Parts: Arch
on my wanted list, it would be nice to show also
the
 
Part No: 3455  Name: Arch 1 x 6
* 
3455 Arch 1 x 6
Parts: Arch
I might have in my inventory.

To implement this functionality I would like to use the BL Item Relationship
"Similar Parts with Different Molds".
Unfortunately I cannot find a way to download this information as raw data.
Any Idea other than entering these manually?

Thank you very much!
