I've been adding more stickered parts images and new parts but have noticed
that everything I've entered since 6/12/2021 is still "Pending Approval".
It hasn't taken long in the past for approvals. Has the process changed?

One of the catmins on vacation and a lot of new sets were released June 1. Getting
stickered counterparts from old sets always takes a back seat to adding brand
new stuff to the catalog.

I am back today after three wonderful weeks of fun, sun, hiking and biking!

To the OP, Jon is correct. Stickered counterparts always take a back seat to
everything else because they are very work intensive and do not provide much
value to the site. LEGO released more than 100 new sets over the last month,
so all of the new parts, new minifigures, and new inventories for those sets
are priority number one. We also have to keep up with the constant flow of change
requests. With the addition of the ability to enter packaging dimensions for
everything in the catalog, we have been swamped with change requests.

I just want to add:
Stickered parts do provide much value when trying to ID parts and sets in a second
hand lot. I agree with the priorities but remember that stickered parts are valuable
in the catalog.

Thanks

Everyone wants them in the catalog. They are very helpful, but they are very
helpful to a small number of people. Thousands want to part out a new set right
now. A dozen people will use a stickered part from a 10-year-old set over the
course of a year. I DO want the work to get done, though.
