How is this addressed in the Bricklink inventory catalog - or should it be?

I encounter this occasionally, I just make a note in the description. I do think
however that images and notes should be added to the catalog.

I've also seen pictures of "instructions" that are likely just images of
the box art (shape is wrong etc)

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

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.

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

  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:

 
Part No: 73037pb01  Name: String Reel Winch 2 x 4 x 2 (Light Gray Drum) with Black and Yellow Danger Stripes Pattern (Sticker) - Set 6361
* 
73037pb01 String Reel Winch 2 x 4 x 2 (Light Gray Drum) with Black and Yellow Danger Stripes Pattern (Sticker) - Set 6361
Parts: String Reel / Winch
The size is [2 x 4 x 2] or [2 x Y x 2] ?

 
Part No: 2426c01  Name: Technic Rack Winder
* 
2426c01 (Inv) Technic Rack Winder
Parts: Technic
The size is [2 x 5 x 2] or [2 x 4 x 2] ?

 
Part No: 6249  Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Pins
* 
6249 Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Pins
Parts: Brick, Modified
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.

I would imagine its consider a tail due to how the "base" of the brick is the
same as "normal" tails

Sellers have to be able to identify which part they have in hand with no more
then the text and image for reference. There needs to be some detail that isn't
subjective.

Jen

Photos side by side of both of them, on left sw0530 from 2014, on right sw0993
from 2019. Differences are very elusive. White lines of printing are thiner,
especially on front emblem and on shoulders.

That simply looks like a print fidelity difference. This happens with many parts.
The printing can change as the equipment wears down, the printing can change
as advances are made in printing technology, the printing can change with part
alignment during the printing process, etc.

In other words, looks like the same minifig to me.

Cheers,
Randy

I have several prototype parts in my store. In fact I am thinking that I will
specialize in these types of parts. Is it possible to have a part type called
prototype? These are molded parts made by Lego that were never released in ant
set or any color.

Agree,

Takes a long time to find when something like this happens.

Too bad these aren't on a project list of stuff to improve somewhere anymore...

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.

  Hello all,

I have a question. Hope you can help me.

I would like to give all my used parts a 20% discount. How can I only select
my used parts so I can put in the discount? If I use the search option I will
get everything what's used in my inventory included my sets, instructions,
minifigures etc...

I only want my parts on discount. Do I have to do this for every parts individually
now or is there a other way?

Thanks.

Edwin

Go here, enter the discount, then under condition select items that are USED.

https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp




Hello,

Thanks for the reply. This I know but I want to choose all used parts at once
if possible? If I put "used" and "parts" in the search then I get like 20 pages
of 100 parts and I have to check every item individually?

Is this even possible?

Greetings Edwin

Please consider tweaking the names for 64251 and 93575 in order to make identifying
them a little easier.

Please add "3 fingers" to
 
Part No: 64251  Name: Bionicle Fist with Axle Hole - 3 Fingers
* 
64251 Bionicle Fist with Axle Hole - 3 Fingers
Parts: BIONICLE
Please add "4 fingers" to
 
Part No: 93575  Name: Hero Factory Fist with Axle Hole - 4 Fingers
* 
93575 Hero Factory Fist with Axle Hole - 4 Fingers
Parts: Hero Factory

Then maybe rearrange the pictures so that the images showing the fingers shows
up while browsing the catalog.

Thanks!

Thursday. The street date is February 1.

They are already available in French Lego store, also in the French catalog the
release date is January (bottom left of the picture).


Most of supermarkets have them for sale in the last 2 weeks.
I already sold a few on BO which list them 2 weeks ago but Bricklink...

10 made as a prize i$75 or more in December from Lego.

Apparently there is one platinum one out there too.

Can anyone add special Assemblies?

I'd like one added to sell the Hulkbuster suit (76104) vs breaking it down
for parts, but the one I acquired was in a used lot so I don't know for sure
if it's complete.

I guess I could find online instructions and enter in everything for him that
way.

Please someone pay attention while opening them and post here. I noticed when
opening my case that several of them had inner polybags and I couldn't make
any sense of it at the time. In at least one case the entire minifig was inside
the inner bag, but others it wasn't. I couldn't see a pattern. But
while taking pics to inventory them I noticed that some torsos have their arms
on flat instead of slightly forward and at least one of them I know was one of
the ones in the polybag. Could it be that a Chinese factory makes those inner
polybags and the rest is being assembled elsewhere?

(I thought I'd replied to this message, but it didn't seem to go through?
Either way, here goes).

Thanks! Glad the images are working I can update that Unikitty pic when I
get home tonight.

As far as the Unikitty figs, I figured we'd have the sleeping one as the
main fig (since it's the one in the main instructions) and the other one
as the counterpart (that's what we did when I inventoried the Apocalypseburg
Unikitty set)

And as far as Rex goes, I wasn't sure whether or not to do his backpack as
part of the fig, but figured I should include the backpack (thinking back
to Mos Eisley stormtroopers in sets I have that have brick built backpacks) but
I shouldn't include the trans-light blue pieces (because Sweet Mayhem
has similar boosts, but aren't part of the main minifig).

Either way works, just let me know, because I'd obviously have to tweak the
inventory to put his backpack pieces back in there.

Thanks!

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!

They are being held up because of issues concerning the exact build. The rocket
guy has blasts coming out of the rockets. However, we need to decide whether
or not to include the whole blaster backpack assembly or not. Sometimes those
decisions take a while.

The unikitties have similar problems. First, I don't know if we will approve
two different constructions of a minifigure for a single set. This has been done
before, but only on a case-by-case basis.

The sleeping one will get approved for sure since it comes from the primary build.
However, you need to reshoot that one with the head attached as shown in the
instructions. The current pending image shows the head 1/2 stud offset to the
right. It shouldn't cover the Reddish Brown 1 x 1 at all.

I realize the photos on the box and instructions show the sleeping kitty built
the way you have it in your photo, but we try to stick close to the instructions
whenever possible.

Thanks for you contributions so far, especially the images.

Go ahead and move the inventory to pending status using autofill before it drops
off the reservation list. You can add the figs to the pending inventory and the
Inv Admins will address any problems they see.

That's really interesting. I've never seen a thin one. Any idea what sets it came in?

A new CMF comes with a watermelon slice that is dark pink. Is that what this
one is? It looks like red to me in this pic.

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

Excellent!

Thank you!

Can we now get all the rest of the series done?

areas where the average prices must be deduced from scanning listings or sold

It is a shame that the site cannot do something and step in and help sellers

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

It's about time!

Here you go. Let's try it out.

* 
41775-1 (Inv) Character, Unikitty!, Series 1 (Complete Random Set of 1 Character)

* 
41775-2 (Inv) Character, Unikitty!, Series 1 (Complete Series of 12 Complete Character Sets)
12 Sets, 2018
Sets: Unikitty!: Unikitty! Series 1

Let me know if you think the random one needs a big question mark placed over
it. If people like this entry and use it, we'll go ahead and add the others.

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:
 
Set No: 71021  Name: Minifigure, Series 18 (Complete Random Set of 1 Minifigure)
* 
71021-1 (Inv) Minifigure, Series 18 (Complete Random Set of 1 Minifigure)

* 
71021-2 (Inv) Minifigure, Series 18 (Complete Series of 17 Complete Minifigure Sets)
17 Sets, 2018
Sets: Collectible Minifigures: Series 18 Minifigures

And when we add The LEGO Movie 2 Series in a few days, it will also have an "entire
series" entry so we can see how it does from the start.

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)

I created the reference 42859pb01 originally (from the SDCC Unikitty from last
year) and now that 70831 is out, the instructions list it as 6253956.

There are a couple other items from that SDCC set that now have alternate numbers
as well. Is there a way I can fix the rest of them? I wasn't sure how to
do it. Thanks!

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.

There is absolutely a 10-25% difference in the weight of most sets between the
North American and worldwide markets. The difference is the weight of the paper
for the box and instructions and also the different paper size for the instructions.
I kept data on this for years and compared hundreds of sets. A significant portion
of the sets, boxes, and instructions on BrickLink would need to have two separate
weights in order to be accurate for everyone.

You can always set your own weight for items listed in your shop.

Hope that helps!

I've always presumed it was the weight of a complete set with a box and instructions.
Occasionally I have to refund shipping cost a bit on sets because the BL IC has
the weight set so high.

Yep, it's the weight of a complete set with instruction etc. (sealed)

"
Catalog Item Weight - Parts, Sets, Books and Gear can have weight in the catalog.
Weight must be entered as a number in grams using the metric system. Weight of
Sets, Books, and Gear is of an unopened sealed item including original box or
packaging. Weight of Parts is of the single part. Weight for catalog items can
be supplied by BrickLink members through the Catalog Change Request Form.

  Today we added a somewhat historic entry to the BrickLink catalog:
 
Part No: 4538  Name: Duplo, Plate 2 x 4 x 1/3 (Thin)
* 
4538 Duplo, Plate 2 x 4 x 1/3 (Thin)
Parts: DUPLO, Plate
At first it looks like a normal Duplo plate, but it's not:
 
Part No: 40666  Name: Duplo, Plate 2 x 4 x 1/2 (Thick)
* 
40666 Duplo, Plate 2 x 4 x 1/2 (Thick)
Parts: DUPLO, Plate
The first Duplo plates and tiles were based on the regular Lego plate/brick ratio
of 3:1 (that is, it takes 3 plates stacked on each other to reach the height
of a single Lego brick).

Somewhere around 1992, these "thin" plates and tiles were abandoned for the "thick"
type, which have a 2:1 ratio. These are what we find in modern Duplo sets.

What prompted the change? It could have been the advent of the 6309 printed tile:
 
Part No: 6309p01  Name: Duplo, Tile 2 x 2 with Shape Black Isosceles Triangle Pattern
* 
6309p01 Duplo, Tile 2 x 2 with Shape Black Isosceles Triangle Pattern
Parts: DUPLO, Tile, Decorated
 
Part No: 6309pb001  Name: Duplo, Tile 2 x 2 with Black Number 1 Pattern
* 
6309pb001 Duplo, Tile 2 x 2 with Black Number 1 Pattern

Here are some other early "thin" Duplo parts:

Parts: DUPLO
 
Part No: 4121  Name: Duplo Tile, Modified 2 x 4 x 1/3 (Thin) with 4 Center Studs
* 
4121 Duplo Tile, Modified 2 x 4 x 1/3 (Thin) with 4 Center Studs
Parts: DUPLO

and maybe even this:
 
Part No: 4375  Name: Duplo Support Sign Post Short - Thin Base
* 
4375 Duplo Support Sign Post Short - Thin Base
Parts: DUPLO

That's really interesting. I've never seen a thin one. Any idea what
sets it came in?

  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.

I've always presumed it was the weight of a complete set with a box and instructions.
Occasionally I have to refund shipping cost a bit on sets because the BL IC has
the weight set so high.

  Hi, just wondering if there is a delay in the inventories for 75890, 75893 and
75894 being uploaded? Hopefully I’m not just being impatient, but seems to be
longer than normal?

Inventories are submitted to BrickLink by volunteers who own sealed copies of
the sets. As of this point, no one has taken it upon themselves to submit these
inventories, so they will not be available until someone does.

As of one month ago (right after Christmas) when LEGO released the huge winter
wave of new sets (160+), 113 of those sets have been inventoried and another
eight are close to completion. That is quite an accomplishment for the BrickLink
members!

You can view the 2019 sets that have not been inventoried yet if you click on
the following link and sort the results by "Year Released" and "Down":

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&itemInvUserID=0&itemBrand=1000&catType=S&v=2

Ignoring the DUPLO sets, you will notice that there are not many sets left to
inventory for the winter wave, but the three you mention are in that list. I
am sure that most of these will be inventoried in the next few weeks. However,
the Speed Champions sets are not the most popular sets, so it may be longer than
that.

Cheers,
Randy

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:

 
Part No: 73037pb01  Name: String Reel Winch 2 x 4 x 2 (Light Gray Drum) with Black and Yellow Danger Stripes Pattern (Sticker) - Set 6361
* 
73037pb01 String Reel Winch 2 x 4 x 2 (Light Gray Drum) with Black and Yellow Danger Stripes Pattern (Sticker) - Set 6361
Parts: String Reel / Winch
The size is [2 x 4 x 2] or [2 x Y x 2] ?

 
Part No: 2426c01  Name: Technic Rack Winder
* 
2426c01 (Inv) Technic Rack Winder
Parts: Technic
The size is [2 x 5 x 2] or [2 x 4 x 2] ?

 
Part No: 6249  Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Pins
* 
6249 Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Pins
Parts: Brick, Modified
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.

I believe that if this were the case, there would be many, many more nearly similar
parts in our catalog.

Sellers have to be able to identify which part they have in hand with no more
then the text and image for reference. There needs to be some detail that isn't
subjective.

Hello,

It's to sort the minifig:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1124573

-Fred

It's because the number of unique sw figures has gone over 1000 so that people
can sort by itemID so now the battle droids will still show up first if sorted
that way.

They are lucky (and I mean, I'm lucky) that I wasn't uploading a ton
of sw minifigs.
I download my inventory and use VLOOKUP functions to find inventory locations
if a part I'm listing already exists in my inventory. I didn't notice
the change until I went to upload and it was consolidating on me. Luckily, it
was just the one star wars figure this time.

It would be nice if they handled something like this during the 10 minute down
time period instead of just willy nilly ...cough....cough... admin...cough russel
lol, just playin. Thanks for your contributions and dedication!

Yeah, there's no great time to do something like this since nightly and monthly
maintenance locks everybody out, including me.

But a couple of things to note - no old number was reused by another minifig.
So there should be no accidental mislistings as a result. The other thing is
that there is a permanent record of item number changes:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReqList.asp?viewYear=&viewMonth=&viewGeDate=&q=&viewStatus=A&itemType=&viewAction=I

And each catalog detail page has a log at the bottom showing changes to that
entry.

Good question. They do look reasonably identical. Someone will have to get
one in hand to be certain. The legs and head have a new PCC, but that doesn't
necessarily mean they are new prints.

  Would this pack count as a set? For sale at a retail store. Or, if not, would
the figs count as a catalog entry?

They contain many unique elements.

I purchased this set at the Lonetree (Denver area) LEGO store on Nov. 9th. There
were at least 20 hanging on the rack. My minifigs look the same as yours, but
the ones at that store had a special cardboard insert. I don't have a way
to take a picture of the set, but my husband scanned the insert.

I would suggest submitting an image. New items need an image for approval.
