Like a placed upside down?
You still have to figure out how to build SNOT, and whether this part is suitable
since it does not yet come in Light Bluish Gray.

| | WHAT I SEEK
There are some ways of doing this.
#1, Let the retailer specify how much space there is, and somehow be able to
fill that virtually in some way?
|
It's rare that the order is space constraint; much more likely that adding
more bricks will bring it up to the next weight band. That information is already
shown in your shopping basket or at checkout. Some sellers even have this in
their payment instruction message: "your order currently weighs x grams; you
can add upto y grams for the same shipping cost".
In practice, I've never really considered these factors when choosing what
to order extra. Only things like: will this become a package or stay a small
envelope.
| |
#2, Be able to provide a list to the retailer, and ask, to fill what you can
of these. Perhaps in any order or priority??
|
That's what the wanted lists are for and for you to choose.
| |
#3, Be able to split my wishlist, into these priorities.
|
You can use as many wanted lists as you like, be it a single one or a hundred.
When in a shop, you can toggle these separate lists on and off.

That’s not a LEGO colour. I don’t think there’s any transparent colour close
enough to Light Nougat….

How about a yellowed ?
They are old, but abundant. Some are so yellowed you might even call them Trans
Medium Nougat.
I don't think the more modern comes as yellowed although color
variations occur.

| | So how can this be addressed?
These 4 instructions are identical, but have different part numbers on Bricklink.
(and as was also mentioned for the minifig series instruction).
|
It can only be addressed by completely reprogramming the way the catalog database
functions in regards to instruction manuals. The chances of that happening anytime
in the foreseeable future is pretty close to nil.
|
I was thinking to suggest (mis)using a relation type like "Same Stickers with
Different Catalog Entries" but even that won't work since it does not allow
links between instructions entries. Instructions are really the strange beast
among part/sets/gear/books/minifigures.

Why? In Dutch it's the same way: 8-tands tandwiel / tandwiel met 8 tanden.
(tands = singular + genitive 's' / tanden = plural)

This leads to the question: are Braille bricks 2x4 bricks?
And do we need a new category?

TLG's policy. These were produced by a different branch of TLG (The LEGO
Foundation) and explicitly not for sale. See https://www.newelementary.com/2020/08/free-lego-braille-bricks-released-by.htmlMakes sense that BL follows this policy.

Where i can find Archive Orders?
Thanks

On the orders page, top right, it reads: Current | Filed | All | Summary | Find
Orders
Select 'Filed' or 'All' to include archived ('filed'

| | Hi everyone,
I have a few large boxes of used lego, all unsorted, and want to list it all.
I'm wondering if anyone has the best idea/way to sort it all, as I want to
be most efficient in my time and cost-effective.
Any suggestions from the store owners that sell mainly used parts?
Thanks,

Sort by BrickLink category first. (Bricks, Tiles, Technic, etc) Then lay each
category out where you can see everything. Using the Catalog page as a reference,
add each part with all the colors you have of it one at a time.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=5
Store each category together so you can find your items, or use Remarks to label
where you are storing stuff.
It's a time-consuming process if you are not intimately familiar with LEGO
parts and our catalog, no doubt about it.
There's a page for difficult to identify parts:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2479
Also, read through the thread for catalog identification, as someone has undoubtedly
asked about the part you can't find already. 
https://www.bricklink.com/messageList.asp?ID=34
Good luck,
Jen

Excellent advice, but I miss the first step:
When you have the big pile of unsorted parts in front of you, ask yourself: "What
is the biggest part or category of parts that I see many off?" For instance 'Panel
1x6x5' or 'Bricks 2x...'. Then pick those and put them in a pile
until you have most that can easily be seen. Repeat with the next biggest part
/ category. Repeat until done. Go from big to small. Go from broad category to
finer category or to specific parts. Split by color only in the very last round.
In every round you will spot parts that you ought to have picked in the previous
round. Pick those with your second hand if they are many, or put them in the
proper pile directly if there are few.

| | Hey, its hard to explain but on the receipt page after an order,under one of
the bricks it has a *! symbol, ive never seen this before, normally under bricks
it just has a *. What does the *! mean?
|
It has to do with what kind of extra images are available.
* means: additional images are available
! means: a 3D image is available
When there is neither of these symbols, no additional images are available which
is not so common nowadays.
