In my opinion it is neither color, certainly the 2853s seem to be between the
two (as previously mentioned, improperly dyed yellow). I have found one other
part so far that is similar, which are yellow technic axles. I think a note to
let shoppers know about the issue is necessary, since those looking to complete
older models will be in for a surprise.
Additionally, the 3 or so sets that have been inventoried with the part in BLO,
may be erroneous as whoever did that inventory may have interpreted the crankshaft
as being BLO when really it is neither yellow nor BLO. However it is the "soft"
matte plastic type, which tends to run a bit light in general, so I would be
more inclined to place it in the BLO category, and have listed it as such, until
I see evidence of a true BLO crankshaft.
But NONE of the 120+ crankshafts we have pulled are actually yellow, the only
yellow examples I have found were present in some early 1990s-era display models
we have collected.

The color of those parts is not Bright Light Orange. They are a poorly dyed variation
of Yellow that approaches the color of Bright Light Orange. LEGO shows that this
part was always made in Yellow and not Bright Light Orange. The inventories here
should be corrected to make sure they are all listed as Yellow. Each seller can
then list that their supply of them is not the typical Yellow, but the darker
variation.

Since when does TLG's assessment of color factor in to the inventory status
on BrickLink? If that were the case DBG LBG and RB would not exist as colors.
I agree that what you're saying is the way it is, currently. What I do not
agree with is why. Why should every seller list their supply as not being typical
yellow, when that is the case 100% of the time (at least for 2014-2018 era sets
we have inventoried).
I made this post because I believe there should be a note on the part page to
address this. There are several sets which do supposedly include this part in
BLO, and so I would ask you, do those sets actually contain a part which is markedly
different than the Yellow ones we have pulled out of sets?
As an aside, there are far more frivolous notations (as the notations present
with part 3626b, for example). It is my belief that the c-admins are unaware
of this issue, so I am bringing it to their attention. I highly doubt the ideal
solution is what you say it is. This part is not yellow, period. And there are
a lot of variations with the color Yellow, true, but this is not one of them.

It has been documented. The set inventory has been updated with the changes

Interesting looks like in all inventories where "99" MID is used in this new
inventory page is is change to "1" MID. Checked only few from this list
https://brickset.com/sets/list-18333 for example
The same sitation as you described it.

Only 4 part #4515 are needed to complete the build for this set. This set came
with optional stickers in case you have more than one and want to display them
together but have them be distinctive. I found the following at brickset;
"Take the battle to the Separatists with the Republic Attack Gunship! This heavily
armed and armored Clone Wars troop carrier can fly and land in any battlefield
or hostile terrain. Features include opening troop bay doors, removable command
station and healing chamber, positionable cannons, spy droids, flick missiles,
a speeder bike that deploys from the back, and multiple decals to create different
gunships for your army. But will even Obi-Wan Kenobi and Plo Koon be enough
to stop the sinister Asajj Ventress and her double Sith lightsabers? Includes
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Plo Koon, Asajj Ventress, Commander Cody and Clone Trooper minifigures!
Side troop bay doors open! Open the front side compartment to remove the command
station! The 2 cockpits in front and the 2 on the wings open! Features 8 positionable
flick-fire missiles on top and 2 rotating missiles in front! Back hatch opens
to deploy the speeder bike! Open the compartment on top to access the spy droids!
Measures 14" (36cm) long, 17" (43cm) wide and 7" (18cm) high"
If I were building this for myself I would get an extra pair of 4515's and
apply the extra stickers for easier storage.

Yes, strange, 4 plain slopes in the Regular section but 6 stickered slopes in
the Counterpart section.
The instructions say 4. But stickers just magically appear and p038 doesn’t
seem to be used.
I’d say you can choose which pair of stickers to apply on the front?

For now, they are handled with the special Alternate group 99:
— add the Match ID 99 to the Regular parts that change¹ or that you don’t have
in your version,
— add the parts that change¹ or that are only in your version as Alternate with
a Match ID of 99,
— add a note.
(¹ If it’s just the quantity of a part that changes, the part is both present
as Regular and Alternate with different quantities.)
E.g. Wall-E has two versions, the neck having been made more stable

| 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.

3003old is an odd duck if you ask me. 3002old and 3001old do not have Inside
Supports mentioned in the name but they do exist with Inside Supports (at least
3001old does). 3003 however does not exist without Cross Supports, still they
created a 3003old as if it were somehow similar as 3002old and 3001old but it
is not. I have missed the creation of 3003old so there might be a perfectly valid
reason for it but imo so far it creates more confusion, as can be noted with
your question as example.
On the other hand, it is hardly doable to be complete on this matter. More differences
do exist and differences combinations as well. Where does it end?
Interesting to learn the answer too

Sounds right. One of the Catmins is in the US and the other in Deutscheland,
so sometimes it is like we have 24/7 coverage, but just remember they've

Not only this one from SW is still missing inventory, also 75220 and 75221.
BTW Sandcrawler was added on the beggining of July, so almost two months without
inventory now
If you want to do it I can release this set to you to inventory it?

Hi
I have no idea how to do it

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

Being a volunteer inventory admin has to be the worst. Not only are you expected
to give your time for free, but also spend $1000's per year on new sets at
MSRP to do inventories.

I would say like every time a user is complaining of something here there always
someone who come back with poor argument.I was complaining of time it take to
valid inventory of a set and now your almost to tell me to go somewhere else
to sell.I don't known you,you are a seller and doesn't look like a admin
on that site.
If you do the inventory for free its your problem.Don't come here to complain
to me your doing it wrong because your doing it for free.
I invest a lot of money in my business every month and i give a really good service
to my customer but i expect the same from my providers.If you are in the process
of doing inventory for BL you should treat me like a customer and not telling
me to go sell somewhere else.That's call arrogance.
By the way BO is charging 2.5% but service is much better then here.Admin threat
you like a customer not like a competitor.Don't worry i already have a account
there.
For all the above answers,there is none from a real admin.That's the problem
on BL.
Nobody answer for anything on this site

At the end of the day, you don't what you are paying your 3% fee to Bricklink
for and it doesn't include a professional having the inventories ready on
Day 1. It just isn't part of the deal. And you are still here because there
is something about Bricklink that you still prefer. I have never used BrickOwl,
so I have no idea, but I expect it is the larger customer base that Bricklink
brings to you.
If you just need to bellyache, that's totally fine with me.

The three major sites I'm aware of which provide inventories are Brickset,
Rebrickable, and Brick Owl.
All three sites have inventories for this set. The official part count of the
set is 255 parts. For each site, here are the number of parts they list in the
set as of right now:
Brickset: 248 parts
Brick Owl: 251 parts
Rebrickable: 248 parts
We make take longer on BrickLink, but when we're finished you'll have
an inventory which includes the correct number of parts.

You're right about that. I apologize that we still haven't achieved
the ability to have complete, accurate inventories available on the day the set
is released. When you require that new inventories be created from sealed set
contents (as we do now) and after that you have people like me double-checking
the work to ensure its accuracy, then there is unavoidable delay. Our goal is
to reduce that delay as much as possible.
I will say that the delay has gotten much better within the last year and we
hope to continue to improve.

Thank you StormChaser,happy to see Admin are still around,but more improvement

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.

Sounds right. One of the Catmins is in the US and the other in Deutscheland,
so sometimes it is like we have 24/7 coverage, but just remember they've
got lives and jobs and what not. So sometimes nothing happens until after you
go to bed. I just looked at your pending stuff and no problems jump out at me.
Now you just wait for the wheels of the machine to turn.

Yes, you can create the inventory here:

However, you must have a brand new set in hand to create the inventory for this
