Not to sound like Jerry Seinfeld, but "what's the deal" with this part in
this color? Is it Yellow or Bright Light Orange? Every single set that we have
pulled this part out of has been BLO despite the fact that the BL cat identifies
it as Yellow. We have seen yellow examples from older models, this new part coming
out of 2014+ era sets is not the same shade. And yet there is no counterpart
(nor should there be, 100% of the sets are showing BLO). Out of over 128 pieces
we have obtained from MISB sets, not a single one is proper Yellow. This seems
to be a problem, as every time we inventory a set, we have to address this discrepancy.

Am I to believe set #7676 (as shown in sets and their parts info) that part #4515
listed as only 4 pieces in set. Yet by all indications there are six stickers?
peeron also lists only four pieces in set. I know you cannot apply sticker to
both sides of that piece. Anybody know what I am dealing with here? trying to
put it together...not sure how many of 4515 I really need.
Thanks

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!

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

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:

 
Set No: 4000025  Name: Inside Tour (LIT) Exclusive 2018 Edition - Ferguson Tractor
* 
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.

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.
