The End of Cardboard Sleeves

In the past we decided to add cardboard sleeves to the BrickLink catalog, because
after checking what was in it, the sleeves couldn't be closed again / were
damaged.

It was already decided not to add all cardboard sleeves, like the ones with instructions
and we also didn't add plastic packaging.

In the meantime packaging has changed for a while already. Cardboard sleeves
can be opened and closed again without damage, plastic packaging has been replaced
by paper sleeves and also large items are packed in paper sleeves. These paper
sleeves have the same open / close system as the new cardboard sleeves.

After discussing this in our Admin meeting, we decided not to add the paper sleeves
to the catalog and for the same reason to stop with adding cardboard sleeves
that can be opened and closed again without damage.

- The two sleeves on the left can still be added to the catalog, but not the
two on the right.
- The ones already in the catalog will stay there and set numbers can still be
added.

To add set numbers to the note of existing cardboard sleeves, you can submit
a catalog request here:

PS Let's hope LEGO keeps it this way.

Assuming you mean the bottom two since when you post it lays out different than
the preview for creating the post (just for clarification).

Yes, thank you for your clarification.
