| The following two figures have the same title...
and
The only difference is the modified head, and I am unsure how to describe the
difference.

| Please consider changing the following titles of these parts:
to: "Duplo, Brick 2 x 4 with Blue, Red and Yellow Pennants Bunting Pattern"
to: "Door 1 x 4 x 5 Train Right with Pennants Bunting Pattern (Sticker)
- Set 41034"
to: "Panel 1 x 6 x 5 with String of Magenta and Medium Azure Pennants Bunting
with White Dots Pattern (Sticker) - Set 41132"
(bold to show change)
Reason: Outside of North America English, the word 'bunting' is used
for 'pennants'. Pennants are actually different and are used as a nautical
term for the signalling flags on ships, however, I presume North American English
(Canada and USA) have adopted this the term for festive flags also. Those outside
US/Canada may not find these parts when searching for bunting.

| Does anyone know if the Exo-Force comic books (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=B&catString=331.568)
exist physically?
I was of the understanding that these 'comic books' (Graphic Novels)
were only downloadable from Exo-Force website (a silly marketing mistake in
my opinion). Fans would download them and perhaps print them out and bind
them (told you it was a silly marketing mistake). I am not trying to
imply that this is what has happened here. However, if they are homemade copies,
then I think this would obviously be breaking the Bricklink policy to have them
in the catalog.

| I suggest a new category is created called 'Ephemera' and things like
competition forms and event guides from the ' (Other) ' category are
moved into there.

|
| Once again I would first like to congratulate [StormChaser] and the community
on the progress made in the ' (Other) ' Category Project.
I would like to raise my points to a few things in clearing out the ' Gear
(Other) ' category:
[1] Accessory, Human Tool - Rip Cords
The ' Accessory, Human Tool ' category has been created and it blurs
the line between a Part and Gear. I guess we should wait until all part categories
have been properly defined, however, the category has already been created and
rip cords have already been added. Therefore I suggest we move these gear ...
[g=ripcordcover1][g=ripcordcover2]
... as parts in the ' Accessory, Human Tool ' category. Also rename
them
" Human Tool, Rip Cord Handle Cover in Flexible Rubber with Lion Head for Chima
Speedorz "
and
" Human Tool, Rip Cord Handle Cover in Flexible Rubber with Crocodile Head for
Chima Speedorz "
, respectively.
This leaves ...
... which under the Human Tool definition should be sets and not gear.
[2] Accessory, Human Tool - Ruler
For the same reason as above, I suggest we merge the ruler set inventory with
the ruler (see also https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1060834). So merge
...
... into ...
[p=bb342]
So in the same manner gear ...
...should become a set.
[3] Speech Bubbles
The speech bubbles gear ...
... should be a set and its inventory (perhaps all but the stensil) should be
parts, since they interact with minifigs and not us humans.
That's all at the moment. I will be interested in your thoughts.

|
| Goal: Develop a seller customisable category system for each sellers Inventory.
Each seller should be able to go to their Inventory Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp
] and see at the top of the page an extra sorting choice, called 'By My Category'
(?) (see image)
This will sort the Inventory into Sets | Parts | Minifigs | Books | Gear
etc and then into set categories entered by the seller.
This seller specific category is set in the Inventory Add Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory_add.asp
] and the Inventory Detail Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory_detail.asp
]. See images for visual idea.
The sellers store will categorise them using the BL catalog (as usual), only
the seller's view of his/her inventory can only be seen by the seller.
Rollout of this idea and then after new sellers would get the BL categories pre-populated
for their inventories. Any new catalog entries would be pre-populated for sellers'
category system to change at will. Any catalog changes (re-category particularly)
only change in the BL category system but the 'My Category' entry wil
come up in red for the seller (a bit like Storeroom settings).
The 'My Category' feature is lot specific so the seller could have one
part in one category and the same part (perhaps a different colour or condition,
or something else) in another category. For instance, the controversial Beehive...
* | | 35574 Cone 2 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Stacked Rings (Beehive / Cotton Candy)
Parts: Cone |
...could be categorised by the seller as 'Animal, Accessory' for Bright
Light Orange and categorised as 'Food' for the same part but in 'Bright
Pink'.
The 'My Category' entry should be sorted alphanumerically, so the seller
will have to take this into consideration, when setting up his/her system.
Also Bricklink could also monitor how sellers are setting up their category systems
and gain some insight into the best use system. This would complement using this
forum for category ideas and listening to only about a dozen sellers on the forum.
This would help sellers sort their BL inventory the same as their physical inventory
making order processing easier and faster.
A reset function should be provide (after warnings) so the seller can reset his
inventory category system to the same as Bricklinks.
When an order comes in, there should be a setting to see the 'My Category'
with each order entry, so the seller can easily pick the order items.

| I don’t want to open a can of worms here, but I think this is a valid suggestion.
Can BL create a fourth entry for a set where is states:
‘Set Entry | Instructions Entry | Original Box Entry’
to become
‘Set Entry | Minibuild Entry | Instructions Entry | Original Box Entry’ ?
The ‘Minibuild Entry’ would contain the valid minibuilds (new and used) from
a set. Sellers are selling minibuilds anyway under 'Set Entry' as new-incomplete
and used-incomplete with the minibuld definition the description.
Separating out the minibuilds would...
- clean up the 'Set Entry';
- improve average pricing effectiveness;
- create an additional avenue for buyers and sellers
