Good afternoon all,

I was rebuilding my 6386 (Police Command Station) set yesterday and to make sure
I had all the pieces I consulted the inventory. While building the model, I realised
that the inventory was not accurate and started double checking everything once
again. To my surprise, I had all the pieces listed on Bricklink but I just couldn't
complete the helicopter.

So I spent another hour trying to figure this out and I finally found out
that my instructions were different!. For the same set, my instructions were
telling me to use different pieces.

Please see image attached.

My question to ou guys is how can we document this? And is this something that
you guys see all the time with older LEGO sets?

Thanks a lot!

3003 and 3003old

As far as I know none of the Trans- and Glittercolors have inside supports.

WHY do these colors appear as known colors on item 3003 and do not appear as
none colors on item 3003old - without inside supports.

This is a mismatch of catalog criterias - seen from my view.

I think that a short explanation in the additional notes would be good.

Thank you for a response
Waltraud

Sources for Set Inventories

Viewed:

Since around February of this year we have been informally requiring that all
new inventories (meaning recent sets) be submitted from sealed set contents.
We believe this rule greatly reduces the error rate in inventories. If someone
has a brand new set in hand, then parts, part colors, part variants, and extras
can be more accurately determined.

The only concern was that the requirement would result in a reduction in inventories
being added. Fortunately, this has not occurred. There have been 580 sets released
so far this year and only 73 of those sets don't have inventories on BrickLink
(about 12.5%). We can always do better, but 87.5% of 2018 sets inventoried is
still pretty decent (especially considering what an improvement this is from
the past).

Therefore, we have decided to make this requirement a permanent rule for new
sets going forward. The way it works is this: if the set has been in the BrickLink
catalog less than one year, then the only source accepted for its inventory is
a sealed set. After that, any source is acceptable. You can see the new rule
here under the heading Source:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=199

The only problem with this rule are sets like this:

4000025-1 Inside Tour (LIT) Exclusive 2018 Edition - Ferguson Tractor
2018
Sets: LEGO Brand: LEGO Inside Tour

We may consider listing these sets as exceptions to the rule, but for now they
are covered.

Inventory Pending Approval (?)

Can anybody can clarify why it take soo long for the inventory of a set to be
approve.

For doing sales,we need this inventory to be approve quickly.

Ex:75203 is been out for a month and other site have all inventory done.

I think with the sales amount that past here,we should expect a little bit of
service.

We are paying 3% on every sales and i think we should received a minimum of service.

Please don't reply its a voluntary work that user are doing the inventory.It
should not be voluntary first of all.This site is doing money.With the number
of set that coming out every month ,i think somebody should be payed and doing
this full time.

I just resign myself to spend a hour to enter and verify that set with brickstock.

I have this set and wondered if I could help add inventory (and minifigs and
the "alternate" minifig"). Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm
quite good with graphics and would be more than happy to take clean photos of
the new elements/prints in this set.

Thanks!

Parts for Gear #853191

Evening All...

I cam across a particular head piece that is associated with Jack Sparrow that
is only in this item:

853191 Magnet Set, Minifigures PotC (3) - Jack Sparrow, Barbossa, Gunner Zombie - Glued with 2 x 4 Brick Bases blister pack
Gear: Magnet: Pirates of the Caribbean

It shows no inventories for the figures. Are the figures glued together, or
is it just the brick bases? I might have the other parts for this particular
version of Sparrow, but I'd have to check my "odd ball" bin lol.
