| I'm trying to do my first set inventory for BL with the new
While it's not what I would consider a large set, there are still a number
of pieces that need to be adjusted and created. I've gone through the process
of creating and requesting all the stickered parts with images already. There
are a few new parts that need to be added to the catalog along with the new Sonic
minifig as well.
For these new parts (printed) I'm assuming that I should go through the same
process to create the new part in the system then add it to the inventory list?
Since some of these parts are printed, they have PCC numbers as well but I don't
see the PCC number anywhere in the add/change item tool. How do I make sure
this is added?
Secondly, there is one part that has a new PCC number in this catalog.
I don't see anything different from the already listed part but the PCC
number for this catalog entry is different (new=6401209)
Lastly, can I submit the main inventory page and then still make edits to it
as I create these last few parts and minifig? I had the set reserved over the
weekend and the lost the reservation because it only holds for three days apparently.
I don't want to lose all the work that I've typed in for all the parts
again.
I'm sure I'll have a few more questions but this should get me going
for now.

Add the new parts with the same process. After a part is approved, you submit
a Change Request to add the PCC for your color. From the Add or Change tab, choose
Change Item: - Part
|
Secondly, there is one part that has a new PCC number in this catalog.
I don't see anything different from the already listed part but the PCC
number for this catalog entry is different (new=6401209)
|
If you find a new PCC, it is best to check the part to confirm the mold number
is the same. Then, submit a Change Request adding the new PCC. There is an option
to choose the Seq ID and select the next available number.
|
Lastly, can I submit the main inventory page and then still make edits to it
as I create these last few parts and minifig?
|
Yes, definitely. There will be a link on your Add or Change tab for New Inventories.

You should not have to type in all the parts, the data from LEGO will likely
be available for you to start the process. You do not have to wait until all
your parts are in the catalog. Just leave a Note for the admin about the progress
of your inventory and keep updating it as you work.
|
I'm sure I'll have a few more questions but this should get me going
for now.

Happy to help!

Thank you. I've learned a lot from this group over the last almost two years
and felt it was time to take the next step. I've enjoyed adding stickered
parts for the sets that I've been collecting so this set just worked well
to continue that.

I've looked at all 10 of the parts that were included and they are all 87609
in black with a (c) 2009 stamped on the bottom. I'm wondering if maybe there
was just never a PCC number added for that part. I wasn't sure how to find
the PCC number in the system, but went back into an older set with this part
and found a PCC #4653049 which bring to the same part. I'll add a new PCC
number after the set is added.

I didn't have to type everything in, but there are 49 additional entries
for extra parts, 18 stickered counterparts and multiple new parts. I had a lot
of those field update plus the edits for the variants that needed to be adjusted
that all got wiped away.

That's awesome that you're inventorying the counterparts too, but not
strictly necessary when inventorying a new set.

It was small enough and felt it was worth the extra effort now so that I didn't
have to come back later to do it. I just had other stuff going on over the weekend
so I though I could let it sit. I was just hesitant to hit the submit button
having not done it before and thinking it would submit a partial set.

You can view all the PCC's for a part by clicking on the Small Images link
alongside the main picture on the Catalog Detail page. You may have to scroll
down to see it.
I made quite a loud fuss when they buried that link since it is super valuable
to catalog work, but alas, no one listened.

If I were you, I would not use the Manual Add form to work on any of that stuff.
Just get the basics in and then Edit your pending inventory for the rest. There
is a bug in the system and if you make any mistake and have to go back from the
verify page, you could lose all your work anyway. Just update the Blue boxes,
make a note of all the Red boxes that need to be added later (deleting any information
leftover in those Red boxes), and submit.
The Edit Inventory page works very well. Just leave a note for the admins when
you are ready for them to confirm you work.

Yep! They will not approve the set until it is complete. I use the Note to keep
track of items I need to add, variants I need to confirm, etc. Then, when I am
finished, I post a big happy 'Complete!' so they know to start checking
it.
By the way, it is just fine to add the stickered counterparts to a pending inventory,
but don't wait to mark it completed just for those. You can add them after
it is approved via the normal catalog request process.

This all makes sense. I kind of got in a grove when I was adding all the new

the minifig as well. I will keep an eye on all the main pieces and "complete"
it once everything is through. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks. I have one last question. For the new Sonic minifig ,
I went to add an inventory for the torso assembly after it was added to the catalog,
but it says that inventory is N/A. Do I need to make a request to open this
up. I know it's minimal to put the torso, arms and hands together, but it
appears the rest of the set and minifig are online now and I just wanted to finish
it off.

You can add inventory for the torso assembly in much the same way as other inventories.
On the Catalog Add or Change screen, you want to select Add Inventory for a Part.
You can then enter the torso assembly ID number (973pb4539c01) and Number of
Entries is 3 in this case.
Go to Step 2 and enter the relevant data.

Yeah, I was trying to do this yesterday and it wasn't letting it go through
telling me it couldn't be inventoried. Either way, it worked now so maybe
something just had to sync up. It's in now. Thanks

N/A here just means "Not Available" (it hasn't been inventoried yet) rather
than "Not Applicable" (which typically refers to colors).

To get an idea of how we all submit and edit inventories, you can see on this
page all the pending inventories and our Notes communicating with the admins
about our progress:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?invPend=Y&catType=S
From the Add or Change tab: Approval Pending Overview
Then scroll down to Inventories Pending Approval and click By Item Type: Sets

| Next set of questions. I'm working on the Sonic Minifigure which is new
as well.
1) Do I inventory the head, torso and legs individually and then add them to
an inventory for the minifig like you would a set?
2) The minifigure add page is much different than the parts page with the categories.
I'm thinking I should have (cat 1: Lego Ideas (CUUSOO), cat 2: Sonic the
Hedgehog)? Is this correct?
3) For the main set, do I add the minifig to the set inventory then? How do
you make this association of the minifig to the set itself?

You can add the minifigure first, then add the new parts, then add the minifigure
inventory,
| 3) For the main set, do I add the minifig to the set inventory then? How do

|
Yes - the minifigure (but not its parts*) should be added to the set inventory.
*Extra parts (e.g. an extra visor) should be added to the set inventory,
as well as any minifigure accessories that aren't part of the actual minifigure
build as shown in the instructions. For example, if the character wears a helmet
