Parts 35442 and 35449 were just added to the catalog. They are currently named
"Plate, Modified [size] with [amount] Flower Petals".

 
Part No: 35442  Name: Plate, Round 2 x 2 Gear 6 Tooth
* 
35442 Plate, Round 2 x 2 Gear 6 Tooth
Parts: Plate, Round
[p=35449]

If you look at how these parts are used, then they are actually gear wheels.
Should the name not be "Plate, Modified [size] with [amount] Gear Tooth"?

Happy New Year.

This image discrepancy thing does appear throughout the catalog.

It looks like any time there was a condition where the large image contributor
and the small image contributor were not the same, the large image contributor's
large image has slotted into the small image contributor's small image gallery.
At least one of mine is in Randy's gallery, a number of other people's
images are in Jen's gallery...it goes on.

I have a suspicion there's some other related gremlin somewhere in the works,
but I can't fathom it other than to note that sometimes the large images
are also somehow awry.

Example:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=66490#T=C&C=10
The dbg image accessed via the popup is mine, and credited to me.
The gray image accessed via the popup is NOT mine, and credited to me...or at
least appears to be...or cannot be determined.

Sometimes
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page
(with no color specified for the part) on entering the page, the large image
space is empty, other times it's populated with (I guess) a default image.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41855#T=C
I see a default (medium blue?) image, and at the bottom of the page I get a credit
for a large image. The red image here is mine, this blue one is not.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=30358#T=C&C=2
This one defaults with a small white straked image (no color selected), I get
credit for the large image.

I thought the attribution dynamically changed on this page when you changed the
selected color of the piece from the popdown, but right now I can't find
where that's happening...but it may be effected with some pieces and not
others. In any event, the behavior on this page is inconsistent and seems to
have something to do with whether or not there's a "default" small image...which
is probably a misnomer. For example, as far as I can tell there are no "small"
images for
 
Part No: 650  Name: Hinge Coupling Nylon - Two Connected 2 x 2 Plates
* 
650 Hinge Coupling Nylon - Two Connected 2 x 2 Plates
Parts: Hinge

Can't figure out how to back-trace any of these pictures to their creators...

...hmm...guessing that the large image attribution is for whatever image occupies
that second vertical thumbnail position there...

Some of this might just be a UI problem where something isn't coded properly,
and with the 53588pb01 I doubt there is a gray version at all, just a dbg (this
was hashed about in the forum not too long ago).

Anyway, I've spent about as much time as I care to looking at this issue.
All I really know is something or things has gone wrong somewhere, and I suggest
you want to sort it out before any more images get put into the system and possibly
mispositioned.

Also, I don't want to be wrongly credited for someone else's contribution.
That's just not right.

You and the StormChaser may want to consider holding off adding any new images
until you can sort out what's going on.

The picture for this fig is wrong. 1st her head sucks in comparison to what's
shown (but not really the point here).

2nd and most importantly, she needs at least the clear neck piece, if not the
full wing assembly

 
Minifig No: ow013  Name: Pharah (Fareeha Amari)
*

This fig has special shoulder armor that has some studs on the back for the other
pieces.

______
Not a picture issue:

[m=ow014]

This one is up to the admins. The 1st assembly shown in instructions is the
standard w/ legs. I think this version is a good addition to the catalog, but
it may not fit the catalog policies.

I'm noticing my "large" images for these items are showing up as being credited
to other contributors.

And I'm credited for these "small" images which aren't mine...and no
idea whose they are.

(I thought the whole "small image" thing was kaput some time last year...no?)

If this is human error, that's one thing. If there are systemic issues or
database corruption or something else going on, then it probably should be looked
into before it gets worse.

There are two versions of this part where the small hole by the base varies
in location, mirrored left or right side.

This can be seen in the new carousel where it seems Lego tried to include 24/24
(I got 23/25) of each type, so that the holes wouldn't be visible.

This minifig is listed wrong in the catalog. The out side parts of the 3 minifigs
in set 75226 are all the same but one has a belt ... and other differences are
...

sw988 - a - normal storm trooper head (male) with belt part ... like in batman
sets (but black)
sw988 - b - sunken eyes no belt. (outside same as others minus the belt)
sw988 - c - mad face no belt. (outside same as others minus the belt)

Not sure what needs to happen but ... that minifig should be changed.

Hello,

I own the 2017 version of 9005008 (in 24-Hour format)

While I'm looking for size and weight of parts it look that my parts for
the Watch are not the same weight and size as catalog items.


For example:

bbw001
Mine: 1.8 x 1.0 x 0.41 for 0.2g
Catalog: 2.25 x 1.25 for 0.33g

bbw002:
Mine: 1.8 x 1.7 x 0.4 for 0.3g
Catalog: 2.25 x 2.25 cm for 0.51g


it look like my Watch from 2017 is smaller than watch from 2013

I'm pretty sure for the size of my parts, I'm using an electronic caliper
And a balance accurate to 0.1 g

What do you think?

is currently pending approval and should either be deleted or my submitted information
from 93273pb090 be transferred to the entry.
