We inventory administrators have used up all the work. There are no inventories
or inventory change requests pending approval. I can't speak for Marek,
but I feel rather useless with nothing to do.

There are still 410 sets which haven't been inventoried, including 68 sets
from this year. Send us some work!

Is there ever an ongoing list or update of sets that need to be inventoried?
I personally would enjoy doing one eventually. For example, which 68 sets have
not been done yet?

Sure, and here it is:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?v=3&itemInvUserID=0

You can sort the sets to find which sets from 2018 still need inventories.

I added about half of them and still haven't gotten around to the other half.
Honestly, since you have the items there in front of you it might be better
if you added them to the catalog yourself. You have more knowledge of these
older items than I do and you can add weights, dimensions, years, etc. whereas
I cannot.

To RobErNat:

There is no compensation that I am able to offer for inventories. As for what
BrickLink offers, you already know what that is and I don't believe it will
change in the immediate future.

As for people being less proactive on submitting inventories, it's hard to
say with any degree of certainty. We're definitely doing pretty well with
this year's sets (659 sets released so far in 2018 and about 91% have been
inventoried). However, at least 236 of this year's sets (just over a third
of them) were inventoried by BL employees or volunteers.

Historically, that seems fairly normal. BrickLink staff have always supplied
a high number of inventories going back to when the site was first launched.
If you look at the credits for sets inventoried, 6 of the top 10 contributors
are (or were) BrickLink staff members.

To mfav:

I believe that you're saying the part assembly shown in your photo should
be included in the catalog? You're welcome to submit it and see what happens.
There are still no rules on what will or won't be accepted when it comes
to part assemblies.

Looks like there is plenty to do in the Catalog add or change section.

Inventory Admins manage 'inventories', not 'catalog entries',
that's for the cadmins to handle...
I know, it's confusing: 2 teams working 2 sides of the database

Which includes 'items marked for deletion'
It will be hard to get those inventoried
Granted, only a few among those 410

I might be wrong, but I'm sensing people seem to be less pro active on submitting
inventories, maybe the current 'offer' ain't good enough
For instance, I notice a lot of 'Lego brand Store' kits are uninventoried,
I got a few (like 'several' from that list, but hey, they will drop
value if I start on them, any specific compensation you're able to offer?
