Awesome, thank you!

  Some torsos have "ammunition belt" in their description and others "bandolier".
My personal vote is "ammunition belt". It makes it difficult to find a torso
in the catalog when you don't know the character or theme.

For example: "Torso Pharaoh's Quest Tan Waistcoat, White Shirt, Bandolier
and Silver Buckle Pattern (Jake Raines) / Tan Arms / Yellow Hands" (973pb0781c01)

"Torso Monster Fighters with Ammunition Belt Pattern / Dark Tan Arms / Yellow
Hands" (973pb1113c01)

These two items are similar-looking.

You can submit any name change you would like using the following form:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=P

The catalog admins will then decide whether the change will be accepted or not.

Cheers,
Randy

Just wondering if these should be moved to the ninjago minifigure category instead
of the junior category.
Just thinking someone looking for Ninjago wouldn’t look under Junior to find
them.

Also if someone can tell me how to list them so the link and photo appears it
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry should have clarified I am wanting to know how to have the link and photo
appear in the post.

Type [m = njo399] and [m = njo410] without the spaces around the
equal signs.

I didn't take a picture but the back side is similarly rotated differently
for each version

  Hi,

as a buyer, I found having only two choices for parts condition is far too basic
and not useful, mostly for buyers, but also for sellers who seek accuracy and
honesty regarding their inventory.

I mean, for now a seller can only pick new or used, but pretty much everyone
has his/her own standard and I got some used parts which are like new, some others
which are closer to the one way ticket to trash, if you see what I mean .

It's not good nor practical to force seller to put actual picture(s) of all
the used parts, both hobbyist and professional has better use of their time I
guess.
Plus, asking for every single part before ordering is not good either, some sellers
didn't took time to reply to potential buyer's question already.

And when seller put description, it's quite subjective, one adjective is
far to describe actual shape of a part: "bite marks, yellowish", ok but how many
marks, how deep ?
how much "yellowished" is the brick ?
Some may claims "quite good", some other "I can't send them to trash".

A quality score could be added to a used part. It would be used as well to set
the sell price, as trash-ready used parts can lower the infamous "average 6 months"
and lower ALL prices, which is very unfair for like new parts.

Any thoughts ?

The other site that has various categories of Used was the #1 reason I will never
use it, unless BL goes away. I do not want to have to make my judgment call
and "hope" that the buyer has the same judgment call on what category of "used"
I selected.

Here is my advice when buying Used. Buy from various sources, when you find
a source that sells you crap compared to others... don't buy from the crap
store anymore and continue buying from the stores that treat you well. For example,
a large % of my Used pieces I am confident I could put down "like-new" and maybe
even sell them as "new" and no one would know the difference. I surely don't
do that but I'm trying to make a point. I don't make too many comments
on Used Items because it isn't necessary. Buyers that purchase from me multiple
times know what to expect, that a large percentage of Used items will be in good-great
condition unless I did make a notation about a specific dent, scratch, etc...
but didn't want to toss the piece as it has value to it, however, still have
the notation that it any piece is Used and could have been played with.

I don't think we need any Buyer Rating system either. This will only cause
uproar when our opinions are ever so slightly different.

Each Store can make their own process as they see fit. I have no issue with anyone
taking the time to do this. I certainly do not have the time to "judge" every
piece though. It would literally be sorting everything once which takes long
enough, and then sorting them all again and instead of having 2 main locations
for items stored (new and used) you would need 4 or 5 or who knows how many to
make sure you are pulling from the correct drawer, bag or akro-mill slot, etc...

There is Positive, Neutral and Negative Feedback available if, as a buyer, anyone
does not agree with what they received from what they purchased.

I understand your argument but I, and I assume many others here, do not have
another 4-8 hours per day to put into subjective scoring. Thanks

Thank you, I appreciate that.

I'm looking for a 3001 master who can tell the exact color.

I can make a photo of all your reference colours with added Medium Yellowish
Orange and Warm Yellowish Orange. It will probably be a few days before I can
make time for that.

Also, the list only contains known colors for 3001. It is possible that more
colors were made. The list is updated when new colors are confirmed.

Minifigures: LEGO Brand: LEGO Brand Store

* Delete 1 Part 970c00pb842 Dark Tan Hips and Legs with Yellow Apron Pattern

Comments from Submitter:
Kidfest employee figure uses tan leg and hips with Yellow Apron Pattern not Dark Tan.

Yep, they definitely look tan to me. We will either correct the inventory once
the correct part is in the catalog or mark this entry for deletion and create
a new entry.

Cheers,
Randy

Randy I upload a photo of the correct tan pants for that figure. I'm not
sure if I should of entered it as the same part number (print looks the same)
or as a new part number?

  Hi,

as a buyer, I found having only two choices for parts condition is far too basic
and not useful, mostly for buyers, but also for sellers who seek accuracy and

I mean, for now a seller can only pick new or used, but pretty much everyone
has his/her own standard and I got some used parts which are like new, some others
which are closer to the one way ticket to trash, if you see what I mean .

It's not good nor practical to force seller to put actual picture(s) of all
the used parts, both hobbyist and professional has better use of their time I
guess.
Plus, asking for every single part before ordering is not good either, some sellers
didn't took time to reply to potential buyer's question already.

And when seller put description, it's quite subjective, one adjective is
far to describe actual shape of a part: "bite marks, yellowish", ok but how many
marks, how deep ?
how much "yellowished" is the brick ?
Some may claims "quite good", some other "I can't send them to trash".

A quality score could be added to a used part. It would be used as well to set
the sell price, as trash-ready used parts can lower the infamous "average 6 months"
and lower ALL prices, which is very unfair for like new parts.

Any thoughts ?


I had a shipment of Lego parts recently that were a batch of new and used allegedly
"clean" Lego parts that all stank to high heaven of tobacco smoke. Some sellers
really don't care about the product at all. The b@stard even gave me a negative
feedback for complaining that a product I had paid good money for smelled terrible.

I dunno, I notice most sellers don't even bother to describe their used parts
at all. So I find any description, even an opinion that may be slightly off from
mine, useful to me.

I've skipped sellers in the past due to no description (esp on expensive
instructions). Every junk part I've received has been on the cheaper end
with no description.


Anyway, I don't see a way to police this, honestly. Its too subjective. You
could have a rating system like ebay where you can rate the item "as described"
with up to 5 stars. However this means tons of sellers would now have to actually
take the time to describe their parts.

I think that many sellers know how to properly describe their lego and to ensure
that "used" lego is not junk. Bite marks, discolouration, deep scratches, and
damage are not part of what "used" means. All of those can only pass as filler
and should be clearly described as such.

I believe the best assurance a buyer has that used parts will be of good quality
is to choose a seller with a significant amount of positive feedback.

Buyers can also help themselves by regularly informing sellers if used parts
do not meet the standards for listing.

Depends on how much more $ buyers want to pay for used parts tp compensate for
the added time involved with listing,sorting,storing multiple conditions of the
same part.

In another site, there are different used ratings, Used (like new), used (good),
used (acceptable). i think this is a good idea.

Of course any seller can lie, and list a chewed part as like new, but then they
also could list a used set as new sealed if they wish, feedback should reflect
that.

Good question. The best I can think of right now is buyer feedback with a new
item:

part quality accuracy: 0 .. 5

if a seller got x ratings under the avg, someone (BL admins) WILL HAVE TO take
action quite like 3 NSS leading to close a store.

Of course, NO ONE can oversight the dishonest buyers, sometimes assumption has
to be made I guess. As human are flawed, everything made by humans for managing
humans will have to be flawed.

Maybe, constantly complaining buyers have to send proof, but even that is not
100% safe as the worst can gather trash parts, buy the same and put discredit
on a seller. As someone said: people sucks !

I agree there should be different qualities of used, although it would probably
cause more arguments than it will solve.

I tend to avoid buying any used parts unless absolutely necessary simply because
for some sellers used means any old junk. It is unfair on sellers that take pride
in their used parts and sell only the best quality. I am also probably missing
out on getting decent used parts and instead pay higher for new, but I was burned
on my first few transactions here and quickly learned not to buy used. If there
was a "like new" used condition, I'd probably buy more used.

6677-1 (Inv) Motocross Racing
61 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1986
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Race

* Delete 2 Part 4073 Trans-Red Plate, Round 1 x 1 Straight Side
* Add 1 Part 4073c01 Trans-Red Plate, Round 1 x 1, 2 on Sprue
* Delete 2 Part 4081a Yellow Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Light - Thin Ring (match ID 1)
* Change 2 Part Yellow 4081b Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Light - Thick Ring {Alternate to Regular} {match ID 1 to 0}

Hello,

I know as a fact that the thick clips was produced since 1985. I have evidence
that thin light gray clips came with 7745-1 in its early production, but in later
production runs, since mid 1985 or even earlier, thick light grays clips were
used?
Do we have any evidence that thin clips appeared with early releases 6677-1?
Answer: it seems to me "No".

In the photos, you can also see a NIB 6677-1 with sealed bags coming with yellow
thick clips. We can also recognize the mini catalog from 1986:
 
Catalog No: m86us2  Name: 1986 Mini US (113117-US)
* 
m86us2 1986 Mini US (113117-US)
Catalogs: 1986

This is why I suggest to remove the yellow thin clips from this set. If later,
somebody finds any evidence that they came with this set, they can be added again,
but I dont' think they did come with this set.

  When I look up these Lego Pirates books on Amazon, they're mostly listed
as paperbacks. Does anyone know if they were actually ever printed in paperback,
or are those Amazon listings wrong? Bricklink only shows them as being printed
in hardcover.

I ordered all of them from Amazon a few days ago, so I guess I'll find out.
3 of the ones I bought were listed as paperbacks, but I couldn't find any
evidence that paperbacks actually exist.

Hi, so my son’s name is Emmett and I got him the first LEGO Movie Emmet and am
trying to find him the second Emmet for LEGO Movie 2. Does anyone know the identification
number for the blind bag Remix Emmet? Someone said it was 41S8, but that was
Scare Crow...

Randy,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! (And nice avatar, Blacktron II forever!)

That makes sense, and my only counter-point to that is that Brickset uses info
from here to list minifigures, and being a collector, it's nice to be able
to have each of the alternate figs listed in a collection. Additionally, it gives
sellers more options to sell unique minifigs as well.

Just giving my two cents.

Thanks!
-Kevin

P.S. I'm curious how those decisions are made, is there one person that decides
on all these things, or do a bunch of admins just come to an agreement? Just
wondering

In Catalog Requests, randyf writes:
  The minifigs listed as Counterparts in any of these sets should not have been
accepted to the catalog. They do not fit the definition for how BrickLink defines
the minifigs, and the alternate faces would be considered play scenarios. I will
need to discuss this with the other admins, but my first thoughts are to *not*
accept further Counterpart figures and reverse the decision of the prior figures
and have them marked for deletion.

Cheers,
Randy

  I noticed that some of the sets from TLM and TLM2 that have Unikitty with alternate
face pieces have her listed as a Counterpart and others do not.

Just wondering if I could get the pending minifigs approved so that these are
all consistent.

Thanks!

I have the sticker, but that sheet is supposedly quite valuable. I don't
think the stickered assembly would be worth a nickel...
