the other versions that were in the main inventory were never in the set so removed

Ah, thanks for clearing it up.
BTW - I still haven't found documentation of the dome tops with hollow studs.
But I'm convinced that the set came with these - either originally or as
a variant.

Is it not used once Lego puts it on the backing? The sticker is then stuck to
the backing that needs to be peeled off to put it on the Lego element. So if
it has not been put on the original backing it is new. Once it is stuck on the
white backing it is used.

Nope, a new, blank sticker sheet already has the backing. The backing is like
a sprue. LEGO doesn’t put the sticker on the backing, they print on the sticker
while it’s on the backing.
So it’s the printing that makes the new, blank sticker sheet not new anymore.
A new sticker should be pristine white (or transparent), unprinted.

| | Hello,
I was looking to define some missing parts dimensions.
With standard bricks, it's easy, but how do we define dimensions when parts
are not standard?
Maybe I miss something, but I didn't find the rules there:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=261
For example:
The size is [2 x 4 x 2] or [2 x Y x 2] ?
The size is [2 x 5 x 2] or [2 x 4 x 2] ?
The size is [2 x 6] or [2 x 4] ?
[p=bb73]
The size is [4 x 4] or [Y x Y x Y] ?
PS: I put "Y" in my examples, because I don't have the parts in front of
me.

"Pet Peeve d'jour"
I'm sure you're not peeved daily, Lisa 
We're talking about adopting a dog, as my son has out grown his allergy.
If we do, what do you think about naming our new pet, Peeve?
But seriously, it makes sense what you're proposing
|
Oh, my gosh. Get a lab! I had German Shepherds for over 30 years, and we finally
let my son, Daniel, have a choice. He wanted a lab, so we found someone with
lab puppies and he chose a yellow one and named him Archer. He has been with
us almost 4 years and he is the happiest dog I know! I take him to the dog park
almost daily (it is very close to the post office!) and I love to watch him play
with other dogs, or just to play with me: he loves tennis ball, frisbee, tug
toys, etc. A really good, friendly family dog! (and doesn't have the double
coat shedding that the German Shepherds have!)

|
| I have a few stickered parts, acquired second-hand, from sets 60009-1, 75872-1
and 75051-1. I'd like to be able to inventory them properly in my collection,
but all or most of the stickered part catalog entries for these sets have not
been created yet on BrickLink. I could submit catalog additions for all of them,
but I'm a bit hesitant since I've never done that before on BrickLink,
and I don't have all the stickered parts for each set. Are there any of
you guys out there who have one or more of these sets and could submit the stickered
parts? It would be a great help. (Otherwise I'll get around eventually
to figuring out how to do it myself.)

Since we are talking about stickers, I see incomplete sticker sheets listed as
"new" as well on occasion.
Since there isn't an "incomplete" option, they should be considered "used"
IMHO.

How would I list an element like this if you disabled new? Totally agree on
the applied aspect but a generic limitation may not be the way.

Agreed. A box cannot be new if it has been opened! Now, if you have a sealed
box and you have magically transported the contents out of the box without opening
it, then I would make an exception and it can be listed as 'new'.

Or you if you get them directly from LEGO (or their supplier) before they are
filled.
Unless in that case you call them “pre-new” or “not-even-new-yet”

If someone actually got unused boxes from lego that is the only case where they
are actually new since they were not used for their intended purpose.

Dogs ARE the best, especially labs
My son, daughter & I like all dogs! But we did grow to LOVE a certain Dachshund
that was in our care while the owners were out of country. Hung with us on all
of our back country hikes in Utah, if you can believe that. So, any dog that
needs a home, but if we stumble upon a Dachshund, well you know...

Comments from Submitter:
This minifig has brown (not black) hair in all the sets of 5895 I have seen.
|
So you are trying to replace the figure in the inventory with black hair with
a figure that has brown hair?
The correct way to do that would be to ask for a change in the inventory from
one figure to another. The request you are asking for here would add the same
exact figure to the inventory that is already in the inventory. Therefore, this
request does not solve the problem and will be rejected.
However, you have brought up an issue that needs looking into.
According to the packaging and set instructions, the figure should have brown
hair. When I look through the BrickLink catalog, I do not see a figure like this
with brown hair, only black hair. So that is question number one: Is there a
figure like this that actually exists with brown hair? If there is (and your
request as well as the instructions and packaging suggests so), then we hit the
next step: The figure with brown hair would need to be added to the BrickLink
catalog because it does not currently exist in the catalog. After that, we would
finally reach the question that concerns the set inventory: Which figure came
in this set originally? The one with black hair, the one with brown hair, or
one of them sometimes and the other one sometimes?
I don't know if I will be able to find enough information to answer and solve
all of these issues, but I will try.
Cheers,
Randy

| I'm 100% in agreement with you that a piece with a sticker on it is considered
used. But for example, say I have a sheet of stickers from a set that are unused
and I cut out each individually and sell the brand new piece with its unused
sticker along with it? It's similar to the Special Assemblies where they
are separated from the complete set and require their stickers to be cut from
the original sheet. I feel that the New option should still exist, but only used
for that specific case (as rare as it may be).
