| I've been uploading new parts for 70831 the past couple days, and I'm
just about ready to do a full inventory on the set, I'm just waiting for
3 minifigs that I've tried to add to be approved: tlm145, tlm146, tlm147.
I know that they're in line numerically behind other figs that will be approved
once the Apocalypseburg (7084) is approved, can I get an admin to approve them
so I can inventory them and get them added to 70831?
Thanks!

I was hoping for an answer on this question. Any ideas?

What is the problem? The black render appears to be the same piece as the bright

And the reddish brown as well. I don't see a problem.

Yes. According to the review on brickset, the new one is printed pink compared
to red on the current design.

Personally, I would do what these other sellers have done and list the whole
set under the random entry. As long as you describe things clearly in your notes,
buyers will understand that they are paying for a whole set. This is one of those
areas where the average prices must be deduced from scanning listings or sold
listings instead of the calculated averages.

It is a shame that the site cannot do something and step in and help sellers
and buyers here, by realising what they need. Some people want to sell and buy
complete series. I thought the primary goal of bricklink was to enable sales
of LEGO, so adding a "complete series" for each CMF or similar series would work
well for those people. Does it really matter that they were never sold that way
by LEGO? If need be, this information could always be added as a note to a complete
series entry.

Thanks, everybody, for the responses.
In the last 12 days we have sold as many of the complete series as were sold
in the last 5 months under the random entry.
In response, I have added another of these collective entries:
And when we add The LEGO Movie 2 Series in a few days, it will also have an "entire

Too bad it took almost a *DECADE* for the catalog to move in this direction!
People said that more series of minifigs would sell this way from the very beginning
and the catalog would not listen. People said superlots were a pain in the butt
for these from the very beginning and the catalog would not listen. People said
that selling complete sets under the random entry would screw up the price guide
from the very beginning and the catalog would not listen.
Now we have the start of some data to prove that BrickLink lost out on a *LOT*
of potential sales over all of those years because of the unwillingness of the
catalog to move forward on something that the membership clearly wanted from
the very beginning.
It is very nice to see the catalog move in this direction for those of us who
wanted these entries in place for years upon years.
Here's to hoping that all of the other series are added very soon!

I agree it has been a pain that it has not happened in the past to maintain the
"purity" of the catalogue. Same with other important assemblies (like Treebeard
and Groot).
I really hope that BL is now seeing the catalogue as a tool of the marketplace
to enable sellers to sell and buyers to buy, rather than something that has to
be defined by rules set in stone from decades before.
Even though they might not be used as much, I hope all the older entries can
be inserted for consistency.
And thanks to Russell for testing this and reporting back on the results, which
are not that surprising. Although all mine went on ebay again this time around.

Very nice. I've sold two of these so far, hoping to move a few more.
I still have one very minor gripe about the name of the random entry. It is
still confusing (although eventually the price guide will hopefully make it's
true nature more apparent).
"Complete Random Set of 1 Minifigure" sounds like more than one minifgure: a
"complete set" in this context, whether it is random or not, sounds like more
than one. I understand why the wording has come out awkwardly because of the
technical BrickLink definition of "set", but the way it is currently worded is
potentially confusing for a newer member.
I might recommend,
(1 Random Complete Minifigure Set)
Then it matches the syntax of the 41775-2 entry:
(Complete Series of 12 Complete Minifigure Sets)

A. Please use the suggestions topic only for new feature suggestions not catalog
related questions.
B. I bought this set new and while I can’t confirm anything, the box size is
similar to assembly square and so I think the size is right. The box is much
thicker and taller than the completed model and so the box does not have to be
as big.

| thank you everyone for the feedback.
It looks like the differences between EU & NA would explain the weight discrepancies
I have seen.
In general are most sets inventoried by EU/UK members?
We don't use IC, so I'm not so concerned about the weight difference
impacting shipping charges as we always weigh the package first before adding
shipping cost and sending an invoice.
I was more worried about the tampering issue that some have experienced and not
wanting to open some sealed sets to make sure everything was included and thus
reducing the value of the set. It looks like that will always be an issue/possibility
then knowing that EU/UK submitted sets are going to be different weights than
what we would see in the US.

| | Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum to post this in. I did a search
for 'set weight' in the forums and couldn't find anything addressing
this question.
How are the weight of sets derived? Does a submitter weigh the sealed set on
a scale and enter weight or is it automatically calculated by the inventory submitted?
I've purchased sealed sets 2nd hand over the years and they never seem to
weigh what is listed on BL. I've read recent posts about sellers finding
sealed sets purchased in stores as "new" only to find their contents were replaced.
I decided to check several sealed sets in our inventory, some purchased at chain
stores, others purchased at LEGO stores or SAH, and NONE of them match what was
listed on BL. On smaller sets they have been as close as +/- 2 grams off, but
on mid-size sets (200-400 pieces), I've seen them off up to +/- 30 grams
This has happened with two different scales, so not sure it is an issue with
an inaccurate scale especially considering the sets we are weighing aren't
always lighter than what is listed on BL, but sometime higher too. I also listed
a boat weight that BL shows as 49.69 grams and our scale wavers between 49 &
50 grams, so it seems to be accurate.
Could the package weight be different depending on country? (an inventory is
submitted by someone in EU and their packaging weighs less??)
I want to list some of these 2nd hand sets that appear to be sealed as "new-sealed"
but don't feel comfortable at the moment given these discrepancies between
what we show as weight and what BL says is the weight.

Sets should be weighed when brand new and sealed. Besides the obvious like instructions,
packaging, sealed sets also contain spare parts, sticker sheets and just the
general variance in packaging material. Packaging material variance is greater
than the lego content, as the thickness of cardboard and plastic varies more
than injection molded lego.
I have weighed items for the Bricklink catalog, and I would enter the higher
weight if I saw variance in the weight. I also used digital scales with sensitivity
down to a single gram for larger items, and down to 0.01 grams for individual
lego parts.
If you sell second hand sets, you are welcome to weigh them and enter your weight
in your inventory for those items.
Ultimately, you will have to package the sets and hence the final weight will
increase for shipping anyway.
I would say the weight is close enough for most people. If there is a big weight
difference, it's possible that either Lego changed the packaging on the set
or changed the inventory to reflect necessary changes to set design in mid-production
of that set. It has happened in numerous occasions, and usually those sets will
be marked as -1, -2, etc in the catalog if someone catches it.
