I'm currently adding counterparts to the catalogue for this set
I didn't have the complete set when it arrived at my home, and upon dismantling
, I found that none of the stickered panels and other parts were not in the catalogue,
and so I've started to add them.
I'm stuck on 1 part.
It's the LBG 1x9 lift arms that have a stickered anti-slip tread pattern.
I can see one in the main image as above, and it seems to be on a WHITE 1x9 lift
arm, (underneath the driver's door) but there are no White 1x9 arms listed
within the set's inventory.
Can anyone verify whether this is indeed the case?
Also, if anyone has the whole set, can you let me know how many of the stickers
were applied to the appropriate lift arms and what colour they were, as the sticker
sheet is showing 6 of the anti-slip treads, and there are 5 of the LBG lift arms
within the inventory.

Hi stickers must be always applied as instruction shows. If instruction is imprecise
then official photos of model should be check. In this case it easy.
Two stickers with anti-slip tread pattern are applied to LBG 1x9 liftarms.
Instruction book2 pages 20 and 22
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/6004021.pdf
Four are applied to four black 1x8 tiles
Instruction book3 pages 13 and 14
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/6013913.pdf
|
Thank you so much for that.
The tile is obviously what has stumped me as I have those as well..
I'll be adding that as well too...
So, do you think that the main image has an incorrect coloured part?

| Hi all.
I'm pretty sure, like a lot of us who use this website, we have items that
are not within this catalogue's database, and would like to submit images
(like stickered parts)
I have tried so many times in the past, to re-size images to get under the 800x600
pixel limit, and have failed.
I can understand why the limit IS there, but with this day and age of high resolution
cameras on mobile phones, I have found that I still can't re-size images
to a size suitable.
Is it possible that BL's programmers will understand that this limit can
be lifted for image submissions ONLY.
for example, I submit an image of an item, and it's too big to use within
the catalogue, the CAT ADMIN can use that image, and re-size it suitably, as
not all of us are knowledgeable of various programs that will allow this to happen,
as this will really 'encourage' people to submit images, because I have
often 'given-up' trying to re-size images, and I'm pretty sure that
I'm not the only one.
If this isn't a suitable thing to do, then maybe someone can point me in
the right direction so that I can do this?
Regards,
Paul

Right,
Digging deeper, I can see that this particular horse seems to be allocated to
4 sets, but only 2 have images that can confirm that the horse has no eyelashes,
and the one that does is this one.
The 3rd set's horse has head armour on the horse which means we can't
see the head.
Can a catalogue entry be made for this particular horse?
Images and other sites verify this.

I have in my possession, 2 Duplo Horses which are not in the catalogue, but they
are clearly marked as LEGO.
1 is a black one, essentially the same as this:-
but has no hearts on it's left flank.
The second is a white one, with no extra markings except around the eye, which
are eyelashes, making the horse look quite feminine(?)
I have no idea as to what sets they would have come in, but looking at the listings
of this type of horse, we have the one with the hearts on it's flank, in
Black, and White, and the white one has a 'saddle' print which is not
the same as the Black one, so maybe a separate listing needs to be done for that
one?
I'll see if I can produce images for these two, but be aware that I can't
get them to be re-sized enough to be used, as I'm not computer savvy enough
for that.

OK Jangbricks video review confirms your findings 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEfzS34MrB0 time 3:58

I didn't look at the set review, but I can confirm that the set was sealed
when I parted it out.
I sold the older version of that part a couple of days ago, and when I went to
find it, I had the newer version.
Which is why I said that I'd 'worked it out', because I didn't
have that part new within my inventory, and the only set that it came from was
the one I'd parted out.
But, anyway, you've just confirmed it, and I was able to get the correct
version from my unbuilt UCS Slave one, to ensure that my customer got the correct
version.

This is very similar to wear and print rub off the studs.

| Hi Guys,
I'm really cheesed off right now, as I decided to dip my toe into the frustrating
world of BL's Mosaik designer, to re-create a picture of my recently passed
away dog.
The reason I'm cheesed off?
The Mosaik programme calculated that I need to have 559 1x1 plates in Sand Blue...
We used to fight over the 1x1 plates in Sand Green to complete the Statue of
Liberty and Yoda sets which in turn really pushed the prices of them up, and
then Lo and Behold, LEGO comes out with the Brickheadz Owen and Blue set, which
is now going to lower the prices... (need 288 of them as well... )
But with the 'unofficial' policy of old colours getting re-made (Dark
Turquoise comes to mind), I wonder if LEGO will actually re-release the 1x1 plate
in Sand Blue?
Ah well, rant/grumble over, I'm seriously debating of whether I could get
away by cutting a 1x2 plate in half?
Regards,
Paul

Be aware that the 'Brittle Blue' isn't an official LEGO or BrickLink
colour, but is a colour that has been noticed to have occured in the turn of
the century 2000-2003, and the composition of the plastic that this blue is in
is actually more 'Brittle' than the normal plastic, hence the name.
I have actually seen this colour across quite a few elements, including the 2x4
brick.
Earlier this year I was searching for this colour in a 2x4 for my palette, and
had to buy one from an European Seller, and when it arrived, I was so chuffed....
BUT....
Last week, I found one in a Bulk Lot of LEGO that I'd bought in February,
so I could have saved myself some money.... !
Ah well....

The catalog is not just a tool we use for selling, it is a hugely important way

I would still love to have a separate catalog tab back.

I totally agree.....
BUT....
If according to the BL developers and admins, us sellers are supposed to be getting
new 'tools' and features to help us with our selling, I'm not sure
if there is any thing like this in the pipeline, so I guess it's a situation
of where we will need to wait and see...
However, saying that, I'd love to see an additional line within that drop
down box when I hover over the Market Tab, and that is to have 'Instructions'
I'm really fed up of having to input a set's number into the search bar
so that I can get to the instructions section.
Apart from that, I'm now used to going to the 'market' tab to get

Just my 2p on this....

I've got 2 of the sets that this minifig comes from, and both were sealed, and I found that this propellor is actually in the newer colour of Flat Silver more than Pearl Light Grey, hence this change request. (I can't change the set's inventory to reflect this as well)

Here's the thing with PLG/flat silver parts: the catalog's really a mess
right now regarding those colors. It needs to be fixed, but right now the issue
is on hold. Sorry, but we're not going to be changing any PLG to flat silver
or flat silver to PLG for the time being.

OK
Then why not find out WHEN the newer style of Flat Silver that the LEGO group
uses first came in, and then state that all of the sets from THAT time will have
that style colour, so that we shall know WHICH colour is correct for a particular
part?
It's well known that there are 2 distinct colours for the Flat silver that
we are aware of, and it can be done in the same way as the Light Grey/Light Bluish
Grey saga came about over 10 years ago....
How can it not be resolved?

You see, ALL of the inventories that make up this catalogue have been submitted
by other people, myself included...

Comments from Submitter:
I've got 2 of the sets that this minifig comes from, and both were sealed, and I found that this propellor is actually in the newer colour of Flat Silver more than Pearl Light Grey, hence this change request. (I can't change the set's inventory to reflect this as well)

When anyone looks in a store, and selects a certain part, there is in small grey
letters, showing the date that particular item was added to the store's inventory,
but as I have selected the option of having the particular item(s) 'retained'
within my inventory after it has been sold out, I would like to have this feature

Any further news upon this issue?
I'm really surprised that this is still here, but surely it can be tweaked
to include the date of the newer additions of the parts have been added to a
store's inventory?

I've cancelled the original inventory as I couldn't add the newly added

The descriptions are adequate I think, but hopefully someone can submit split

Perfect Checked and approved. Thank you very much for submiting this invenotry.
So maybe you submit more in the future
|
I have to say, thank you for approving this quickly as those 2 sets had been
bugging me for a while since I bought them to plunder the 2x4 Blue plates!
I think it's possible that I'll be doing more Duplo sets as I've
decided to get out of doing USED duplo as I have loads of vehicle elements that
I can't shift, and with all of the other parts that I have, they are just
taking up so much space that I could use for the normal LEGO elements.
Another reason why I'm getting out of the USED Duplo, is that there are more
and more Chinese Clones turning up at the car boot sales, so it will be really
hard to garner a decent return...
So, it depends upon whether I manage to see NEW Duplo at reduced prices or not.
Thanks, once again for the speedy approval of that set.
Regards,
Paul

All decorated parts have their own entry with the same number as the main part
plus pb and following number in the numbering system of them in Bricklink.
So look at 4198 as an example, you have four new decotared version of this part.
Type in search 4198pb* (with asterisk), sort by "item number" and "down", result:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=4198pb%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
See all decoreted have their own separate entry. So you must now crate whole
new entry for four your parts. Thanks to this searching you see the next free
number will be
4198pb31. So crate 4 parts 4198pb with following numbers 4198pb31, 4198pb32,
4198pb33, 4198pb34, describe them in name - add in name what is their pattern.
You can see also in this search how other are named, you can create somthing
similar. But in name for this part there always must be "Duplo, Brick 2 x 4
x 2 Rounded Ends ... Pattern" for "..." you enter your description of pattern.
Then add photos for such crated parts.
Now repeat this for all your new decorated bricks: 31110, 3011, 98223, 31111.
Create new entries with "pb".

I actually saw where I went wrong.
I'd listed the images before I'd changed the numbers of the parts, and
this accepted the images which was wrong as the part(s) were already in the catalogue!
I think I've done it correctly now, and all it need is for the naming of
the parts to be tidied up.
I've also added the dimensions of the set, and if the parts can be approved,
I can add them to the inventory.

Paul

It doesn't matter how "right" you do it, so don't worry about that too
much. The catalog administrators can fix things like part numbers and titles.
You do need to add images, though.
Having said that, formatting your submissions correctly will greatly speed up
the process of approval. Here's a brief tutorial using one of the parts
you've submitted:
[P=6217957]
First thing: that 7-digit number is called a Part Color Code or PCC. These are
unique codes assigned by TLG which identify a particular part in a specific color.
A part in white, for example may have the PCC 6135522, but the same part in
black has the PCC 6001664. These numbers are not used as item numbers, but are
added as PCCs with a catalog change request after item approval.
To create the correct part number for your pending part, you need to find out
which item number is available. To do that, search for the part number with
an asterisk added. In this case, the part number is 98223, so search for 98223*.
You should see this:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?searchMethod=searchBoth&q=98223*&itemBrand=1000&catType=&itemYear=&catID=&catLike=W
Then sort your results by Item Number and Down. This will reveal that the most
recently used part number was 98223pb014. Therefore, this pending part will
be numbered 98223pb015 when it is approved.
There is good news, though. You can edit your pending submissions by going to
your My Activity page and looking for pending items. There you can change titles,
categories, part numbers, etc.
Is finding the appropriate item number too much work? Yes. Ideally you should
be able to enter the part number and the system could simply assign the next
patterned number. Ideally there would also be less poverty in the world. We
must work with what we have.
Second thing: all titles should be submitted as you would want to see them in
the catalog. For this pending part it means capitalizing the last three words
(Crossed Arms Pattern).
You've got the weight and dimensions added, so I think that otherwise you're
good on this one once you add an image. The same issues exist with your other
pending submissions, like the title for this part:
[P=6217961]
Like I say, though, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your submissions
should be approved, it will just take longer because of the extra work which
must go into spiffing them up to be official catalog entries.
Thank you, by the way, for taking the time to inventory this set. Duplo is one
of the neglected themes for which sets can go years without ever seeing an inventory.
|
Well, how can I submit images when they are already available as I saw when I
first put the set's number into the correct box?
Why can't the system take copies of those images and match them to the part?
I'm guessing that I'll need to change the part numbers from the LEGO
code to the BrickLink ones?
more work....
Lol

The images can be added from there, but you'll need to do it yourself. People
do it all the time for Duplo parts:

Right, I've submitted the inventory of the set, and the additional printed

You want to inventory Duplo set yes?
I've see that you submited to the catalog already 8 inventories. Submiting
of inventories isn't change so much from time when you last submited. Now
it is easer than ever.
Submit incomplete inventory it will be pending. I think you using autofill opition.
When you submit inventory of the set and it don't have all parts necessary
in the catalog but they are listed in LEGO inventory, they are marked red, delete
them from the form to go further. Then add the missing parts to the catalog,
after they approval, add them to the inventory which will be pending. After you
complete inventory and will be OK, We will approve it Then this set will
be available to part out.
I checked you credits and I see you also submited parts and photos to the catalog
so you should be familiar with the process.
regards,
Marek

I understand how the process works, but I'm always struggled with being able
to create suitable images of the 'missing' parts that need to be added
to the catalogue, which is why I was asking if the process can/had been made
simpler as the information is available already.
8 times out if 10, the images that I supply are too big, and I need to cut/crop
the image to get it small enough to be useful, which I think is too much of a
lengthy process, where the information is already available, so why can't

I hope you can understand why I'm asking in this regard.

I think you have got the colours right.....
Use BL's colour guide to help you, as I can often cross match colours within
bulk lots with known colours with sets and the like.
Why not create a small colour palette using standard 2x2 bricks (they have the
most colours), and use the official BL colour guide to determine those colours?
I've done the same using 2x4's as I have approx 92 different colours
as 48 of them are 'test bricks' and the like...

I have in my possession elements that make up this set, and the part in question is not PDG, but because of the rough effect of the arms of the grabber, it makes it look like PDG, but the colour is actually DBG
The Peeron site classifies this part being Dark Stone, which is indeed DBG, hence this change request

| | I think all sellers should be required to ship their orders in corrugated cardboard
boxes. I recently received an order of 24 NEW
from a 5000+ feedback seller. All 24 of them were thrown into a Ziploc baggie
and that baggie was crammed, along with the other lots in the order, into a flimsy
bubble mailer. Well, you can imagine what the surfaces of those panels looked
like after be squished and tossed from conveyor belt to conveyor belt as they
made their way across the country before being shoved into my mailbox. If they
had been shipped in a cardboard box they wouldn't have received nearly that
amount of abuse.
Therefore I suggest we force all sellers to ship orders in cardboard boxes.
Some orders, such as one or two figs, would probably be fine in a bubble mailer,
but rules are rules and we must enforce them uniformly and without mercy. We
must protect the entire community from the few sloppy sellers that are out there.
If a buyer receives an order that is not in a cardboard box, he must send a picture
of the package (with mailing label visible) to Admin. Once Admin approves the
picture, the seller will receive a non-negotiable negative feedback. If three
such feedback are received then selling privileges are revoked.
I ship 99% of my orders in a box already, so I don't see why this would be
such a big deal.
(yes, I'm making a point but I'm not making up my experience or my store
practices)
|
I am a very experienced seller as well as a buyer, and I have voted NO.
Why?
Because if I were to start to ship my orders within boxes (PIP Boxes for the
UK), the minimum buy I'd have to increase within my store, which would reduce
my orders to possibly 2-4 a week, and I'd have to start charging my buyers
for the boxes, and they are not cheap.
I use bubble mailers for approx 95% of my orders, and not once have I had anyone
complain about how the order was packaged.
The issue you have is actually down to the seller, and there is no way BL should
be involved within this situation, because BL is just a platform/website which
allows sellers to operate a shop.
There is a potential solution that could eliminate the chance of that from happening
again, and that is for BL to have a 'guideline' page , with various methods
of shipping/packaging solutions that will ensure that items will get delivered
safely.
Good luck with trying to get this resolved with the Seller, and please let us
know of the outcome.
Yours,
Paul
