  Considering the recent displeasure of the community regarding variants, why is
BrickLink adding to the variant problem with new catalog entries like these?


 
Part No: 44553pb04  Name: Minifigure, Hat with Small Pin, Tall Hat with Small Brim and Printed Black Top Pattern
* 
44553pb04 Minifigure, Hat with Small Pin, Tall Hat with Small Brim and Printed Black Top Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Accessory
 
Part No: 44553pb03  Name: Minifigure, Hat with Small Pin, Tall Hat with Small Brim and Molded Black Top Pattern
* 
44553pb03 Minifigure, Hat with Small Pin, Tall Hat with Small Brim and Molded Black Top Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Accessory

Instead of wandering aimlessly with no plan whatsoever and still
no written guidelines for variants, it might be wiser for this website to employ
someone at a high level who is capable of crafting solid, long-term visions for
the future.

totally agree with you,

  I've sent a couple of invoices this morning (AU time) and both are missing
'comments from seller', which means buyers aren't getting payment
information.

My first one affected was sent at 19.54 BrickLink time. Anyone else having the
same problem?

Judy

Happened with mine last night as well, I didnt know till this morning and again
just now,
anyone else still having this trouble?

  It seems like there is an increase in sellers listings USED figs as being in
NEW condition, but they put some like “looks new” or “like new” in the comments.
When I’m buying figs for my own collection, I’ll take the time to read the comments
and it’s not a huge deal. As a seller, however, it drives me nuts. When someone
lists a used fig as new, they usually sell it for well under the 6 month average,
which obviously affects what buyers believe is the average cost for actual new
figures. I know what they’re doing goes against BrickLink’s policy, but they
either didn’t get the memo or they don’t care.
As sellers, does this drive you bananas or do you just shrug it off? Do you keep
your new figs listed at a price that maintains a reasonable profit margin, or
do you cut your losses to compete with current average prices?

Yep, I agree with you there, too many wrong listings.
Report them, it needs to be reported via the link in OP message.

  Hello.

I have several of the Harry Potter activity books that come with the minifigure.
I found those on Bricklink and was able to post them to my inventory.

I have several of the Stormtrooper adventure activity books that come with the
minifigure. They are similar to the Harry Potter activity book. However, I
cannot find it on the Bricklink store or catalog. How can I list these for sale?
The ISBN number on the back of the activity book is 978-83-253-4237-1.

Thank you for helping.

CLM

Hi
I found this, a Star Wars - Imperialny patrol (Softcover) (Polish Edition)
 
Book No: b23sw02pl  Name: Star Wars - Imperialny patrol (Softcover) (Polish Edition)
* 
b23sw02pl (Inv) Star Wars - Imperialny patrol (Softcover) (Polish Edition)
Books: Activity Book: Star Wars
is it that you have the English version?
which isn't in the catalogue yet.

  In LEGO products, CBak writes:
  I'm hoping someone here might know more about a sticker sheet that I came
across. The stickers were clearly made in reference to set 375 / 6075 Castle:
 
Set No: 6075  Name: Castle
* 
6075-2 (Inv) Castle
706 Parts, 14 Minifigures, 1981
Sets: Castle: Classic Castle
They are pre-cut, so that at least rules out them being the result of an amateur
print job. Stylistically the sticker sheet is quite similar to other sets from
the Legends theme:
 
Part No: 10041stk01  Name: Sticker Sheet for Set 10041 - (45667/4190519)
* 
10041stk01 Sticker Sheet for Set 10041 - (45667/4190519)
Parts: Sticker Sheet
And similar to other Legends sets, there is a 2002 LEGO copyright, but what LEGO
set would that copyright be connected to? The simplest explanation is that I've
come across yet another example of reproduction stickers meant for set 6075,
but then why did someone go to all the extra effort to add these anachronistic
details?

There are 5 or 6 different variations of the original stickersheet (slightly
different colours and symbols on the shields)

I'll have more info later

Here is my 375 sticker sheet, person I bought it off thought it was from a book?
Interested to hear more from you about 375 castle

  Hi BLers,

Came across this description in a sellers shop:

'Great condition Taken from set and displayed since'

Is this still new or used ?

Im not interested in the figure nor the store but wanted other opinions.

I guess its not played with as such but is displayed equal to used ?

Thanks

Yogi

yes used as it has been put together, not ever a new piece after that

  So... after the initial input of inventory, how often do y'all randomly go
back and do a recount?
or do you just wing it from there?

Cause it's been about 6 months since I started my store and I notice some
numbers starting to be off but JESUS THAT'S A LIT OF WORK
-I don't have enough medicine for that

:0 never had a full stocktake
When an order comes in, do a rolling stock check,
from the order in the qty left column.
you see they qty left,
when you pick the qty required
see how many should be left as stock and count when you pick
HTH

I believe there is only a Price Guide if there are sales within the last 6 months.

BrickLink needs the payment to be made onsite (i.e., through PayPal or Stripe)
in order to collect VAT on EU orders under 150€.

^ that is.

I've included a photo of one of them surrounded by 2 of the standard red
forestmen for color comparison. The reds do seem to come in different shades,
most matching modern dark red, but seem to be true classic brown.

Is this just an old printing inconsistency, or am I just not finding the catalog
entry? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
