The pictures were replaced with a proper (unaltered!) one, but may not show up

It should show up in the entry though.

Great picture. Thanks!

And I like the title change for the entry marked for deletion. It certainly
makes the pending deletion much more attention-grabbing beyond just an additional
note.

Agreed. And maybe it should also say superseded by a new entry...

  
My only concern regarding the new sticker entry would be the additional note
which equates cm to stud measurement, which are two different measurements.

yes noticed that as well, but it's not the first time sheets are being mismeasured,
I noticed a couple of people submit in cm, in stead of stud dimensions. Why on
earth is it stud dimensipons anyway on stickersheets, you don't measure an
instruction or box either in 'studs'
But I assume it's because stickers are still considered 'parts' (sigh)
and it's the main configuration of 'parts' that sets the dimensions
to 'stud' size.

  
To RobErNat: I found that incomplete image on BrickShelf and did not have permission
to use it for a catalog entry. I only posted it so that people would know what
I was referring to.

Oh, OK, I thought it was yours
So good Maggie was around then, she found the ultimate 'gem' then I suppose

Cheers, Eric

Thanks for finding that, it makes the perfect "model" for what to say in the
notes!

Wasn't hard to find, as the note was added by either you or Ronald based
on my findings on that one

So it was just a matter of remembering where we had a similar case before


[P=BA06pb02]

Thanks !

now I need to remember another one

  Hmm, you would think, wouldn't you? I just had a look at the instructions,
and they only show the sticker being applied to one side. So to me it
is ambiguous, as it could be considered implicit that it is one both sides because
of the existence of the other sticker and the fact that the back of the assembly
is visible on the built stable.

Yes, I saw that as well, but to me it ain't conclusive as TLG did not always
indicate to put stickers both side (they only start doing that later on), but
when looking at other assemblies the same thing is 'suggestive'
[p=BA17pb01]

(I didn't check whether there are images showing both sides)

   If we don't get more concrete evidence one
way or another, we could add a note to the entry for sellers to indicate whether
they have the sticker on one or both sides.

Yes, that would be nice, something similar to:

Why not add the picture you posted before?

Obviously incomplete, but it's not the only sheet like that in catalog.

And, it could also be 'altered' quite easely

Hi Maggie,
Thanks for pointing towards it.
I cleared my browser history, logged off and in again, now it shows properly
for me (nice image btw), if others have the same error they might need to do
the same thing.

so problem solved on the image

While where at it
I have an unlisted
[p=BA06pb02]
However mine comes with stickers both sides (as there are 2 stickers on the sheet)

 
Part No: 6379stk01  Name: Sticker Sheet for Set 6379 - (190165)
* 
6379stk01 Sticker Sheet for Set 6379 - (190165)
Parts: Sticker Sheet

However the entry for the assembly does not say 'both sides' (stickers).
Another seller is also selling with stickers both sides.
Is it plausible this assembly should have stickers both sides.

Eric

  Why were these added as non-stickered versions? Do they exist that way?

Originally yes, they came undecorated with the stickers on a sheet. So they are
no different then more recent stickered minifigs.
So this is just a matter of building consitancy in the catalog, regardeless of
the fact whether it is usefull.

  Perhaps I was not clear enough on what is occurring.

I would've saved myself some extra work if I had given these reasons in my
initial post:

1. There is no accountability when multiple people use the same account
to make catalog changes/additions. Is it okay for me to give my password to
a handful of trusted BrickLink members so that StormChaser may be used as a group
account for catalog contributions? How will anyone know if it's me or RobErNat
submitting something to the catalog?

1. Thanks for (still) considering me as a trusted BL member I feel honered
reading that from you
2.It would only amplify the issue, as RobErNat technicly *might* be accessed
by 3 people if one checkes my 'ME' page

  
2. The person making catalog changes/additions does not get credit for
the contributions when multiple people use the same account for catalog work.

True

  
3. The Admin account being used was not originally a pool account to
the best of my knowledge. It was an account/username used exclusively by a single
person (Daniel Jezek). Therefore, nearly all of the catalog contributions currently
credited to Admin were made not by a collective, but by a single person.

True, and a long time ago, when Admin Eric became Admin I suggested to have a
clear seperation between Admin Dan's account and Admin Eric's account,
this was not done, and next Admins just kept using the same account...

  
4. Dan's contributions have a higher value, I would argue, than contributions
of others. They show his intentions for the site, among other reasons.

Agreed.

  
5. I hope that when I die BrickLink members will have the courtesy not
to use my account to make contributions to the catalog. I feel like it would
diminish the work I did while alive. This is a nice way of saying that I feel
it's morally wrong to use the Admin account to make any catalog contributions
whatsoever.

Personally I wouldn't mind if one day my son (for instance) would take over
my account (and technicly he is allowed, as he's being part of the username
since many years), but I would indeed be favorable to a clear 'break'
on contributions/owner runnings between more then one accountholder. Right now,
the BL system isn't set up for that however...
This issue has been raised in the past when SimplyBricks was Inventory Admin:
Simply Bricks is being runned by 2 people: Emma, the IA and Mike, the second
person behind the SimplyBricks account with his own opinions as a pretty regular
member, always clearly identified by his signature, but also always 'tagged'
as being an IA (because the ID card said so), while he was not...

  
I'm sure there are other reasons which I'm too tired to think of at the
moment.

Responsability, credebility, legacy.
Analyse everything on those words, and you'll have *all* the anwsers

Sure
Use Brickstock, import your order, edit it, reupload in your store, takes about
2 minutes (depending on how much you wanna edit it).
make regular full backups of your store with Brickstock and keep the BSX files
safe

Forgot to say, if you use Brickstock, you need to use 'demo' mode and
you will need to setup your Bricklink access (username and password) in Brickstock
to make it work.

Russell

According to a doublecheck on another database which pulls it's data from
TLG, the OP is right.

How do you know that TLG's box image is wrong but their inventory data is
right
The OP worked "with the inventory listed in the instructions". These printed
inventories have been shown to be wrong in many instances (as well as some box
images). The OP should answer Russell's question.

Read my statement again. I did not state 'I Know', I stated 'according'
(with reason)

   I agree that there are many users that think they are ordering a set, when they buy a box.


Is that linked to the fact an original box would be listed as being 'new',
or is that linked to the fact the 'standard description' isn't explicit
enough?

Let me rephrase: Say a brand new user ends up browings here and finds
 
Original Box No: 10189  Name: Taj Mahal
* 
10189-1 Taj Mahal
Original Boxes: Sculptures
Listed used...
The seller is smart enough to state it's an EMPTY box, but what if he didn't,
do you think the potential buyer will KNOW that it's not a full set because
it's listed 'used' ?
Can we assume that the buyer would 'snatch' it because for him the price
seems reasonable for such a set?
The fact it is listed used doesn't make a difference, it's the description
that fails, and it would take BL 2 minutes to add the word empty between original
and box to solve that particular issue: original(empty)box
Luckely the seller here is smart enough to state it himself.

  BL classifies parts pulled from new sealed sets as new until they have been used
to build. Simple to comprehend. Since every box was Used (built up,glued,taped)
as intended it can no longer be New. Simple to comprehend as well in my eyes.
New does not mean perfect.

OK, so a set with broken seals ain't 'new' either? According to the
classification BL gives, such a set is still 'new', it's just no
longer sealed. So technicly, an open 'new' box *with content* is still
considered 'new', but an empty one would not be 'new', because
you took out the lego
Now I'm pretty sure every seller with a 'seals broken' set, actually
took out the LEGO to check the content, then placed it back in, so as 'used'
set then (soon 1 item is used, a whole set becomes used)
This is nitpicking and leads us nowhere IMHO, as long as there are no real issues
between buyers and sellers because of it (think I've never seen a complaint
about such on the forum and I've been around for a while now). I really don't
see the point of discussing it, as long as there aren't frequent complaints.

They just do not exist (maybe on an extremely rare occasion) but people still
keep listing them as new. For the people who think they are correct in listing
as new I challenge you to answer this question. What was used to contain the
particular Lego set you parted out ? Hint..... it was the box. It was USED for
a purpose.. Looking at the price guide it seems like people buy the incorrectly
listed as new more often than the honestly listed boxes. I just feel it is an
unfair advantage for those who are misleading with their new designation.

Ed

Following that reasoning, we should also classify all parts from a set 'used',
as prior to final wrapping parts are only handled by machines (mainly). Once
sets move out of factory, they get tossed, so the parts start rubbing against
eachother, then to part them out, we pour out the bags on a table and then we
sort and handle the parts, then they go in storage, some might move out fast,
others will remain in stock for ages, but are still 'moved' around when
picking other parts (depending on how people store). In the end, a part **might**
not be flawless anymore because of it... But we still sell 'new'. So
why would a pristine and carefully opened box no longer be 'new' while
parts from that same set might have scratches if longer time in storage...
The intent is to classify, that's it, if pristine, I see nothing wrong with
'new' for a box, just in the same we sell 'new' sets (and which
might have shelfwear, oftenly not even mentioned by sellers).
So 'No' for me, I'm actually more worried about the quality of 'used'
items, as it seems A LOT of sellers don't even bother stating an actual condition
(or lack quality control), particulary on more expensive sets, boxes, instructions,
parts and minifigs, so what am I buying? A used but very good condition item,
or one with damage/tears/discolorisation/bitemarks

Comments from Submitter:
Checked the items with the original instructions and several changes need to be done.

A year ago I made a full detailed list of what needed to be changed.

Why didn't you submit the changes

   I bought
a sealed set and found obscene number of error. It seems the original submitter
looked at the picture and tried to make a list as LEGO didn't release instruction
for this set. (They still haven't released it even though they have released
many other 4000xx sets)

Doesn't mean the actual content couldn't be found, clearly TLG did allow
download of inventory content, as other websites display the inventory correctly
(at first sight).

  Well, don't blame you, technology is here to make us nice and lazy,

Not really to make use lazy, bit rather organised. If you know excell a bit,
you know you can have several coloms, lines, but also multiple pages, with inventory
management it's a bit like that, people wanna be able to seperate things
one from another and the more 'pages' the easier it is to manage, because
the organisation is better

   so any
way in which it can do that is welcome of course But if setting remarks is
tedious, then maybe that is the root problem? So the solution is faster / better
interfaced inventory management & manipulation rather than just an arbitrary
number of extra stockrooms?

remarks ain't enough, to be honest, I would also like an active and non active
quantity option, that way I would know what I have as 'real' quantity,
compared to 'listed for sale' quantity, while now I use the remarks field
for that (anyway, I assume that's just whisfull thinking LOL)
Back to the stockrooms:
Fact is, from within your inventory, you can choose in what stockroom you wanna
work: All, A, B, or C, but with a multitude of items in all 3: parts, figs,
sets, *and* in condition used and new, one would at least need 6, but adding
personal inventory would most likely double that for me, so I would be extremely
happy with stockrooms A-M (considering gear/boxes/instructions), or better: 26
of them, A-Z Technicly whether you have 3 or 26 it hardly changes anyting
in the amount of data, it's just a matter of being able to organise more

  Ohh I see, yes, the retain function could have its own stockroom, I can see the
added functionality in that. But as for the others, can't you just use the
remarks field for that?


It's possible, but it's not easy. I like easy.

  Admin,

While we already have three options for stockrooms, I would like to have the
option to add more. I can see its potential in the aid of inventory maintenance
etc. Is there a way that the option could be enabled to let us have more stockroom
options such as add, delete amd rename? That is what I want for Christmas .

Brian @ Capital City Bricks

I'm always curious about this multiple stockrooms thing, what exactly is
its purpose? I mean, something is either on offer or it is not, that's a
binary thing, and remarks already allow you to assign any manner of tags. So
why multiple stockrooms? (We already have 3 so apparently it's useful but
it just escapes me )


Stockroom A automatically gets filled with lots that are sold-out.

Stockroom B, I use to move stuff into that I plan on using for one of my own
projects. (I don't want to delete the lots in case I change my mind.)

Stockroom C, I use for stuff that I have uploaded but not made live yet (because
I haven't checked the prices, etc).

Stockroom D, I use for ... wait... there is not stockroom D. So, Stockroom C
I also use for lots which I am temporarily taking down because I am going to
a live show where I will be selling, and I don't want to double-sell.

Stockroom E, I move stuff that sold out (from A) that I want as a reminder to
myself to restock.

Stockroom F, I just want to store stuff that I think has a funny name.

Stockroom G, I just enjoy saying "Stockroom G"

Etc

why multiple stockrooms? (We already have 3 so apparently it's useful but

Sold Out= Stockroom A
New items from Imports= Stockroom A

I use Stockroom B to store sold out Items (so I actually move them to B), that
way my Stockroom A stays clean with things I need to check, those can either
be 'to sell', To keep', 'to merge', etc, I know all newly
listed stuff is autocmaticly there, so I can concentrate on my Stockroom A. Stockroom
B also contains things I need to fllow up in future, like minifig parts, Stickers
I wanna activate in future, stufff like that. My stockroom C is mainly containing
my personal collection, but I would like to have that splitted, Minifigs, Sets,
etc... And would certainly wanna be able to split Stockroom B, and would like
to have a setting to move 'sold out' items automaticly to a stockroom
of choice (Z) for example...

So YES to more stockrooms (doesn't matter if then can be named or not, allthough
it would be handy...)
