I am trying to enter an alternate part change request and keep getting the error
of "item no required if item type is entered", which I know is incorrect since
the system already has the info when you enter the inv item number. I notice
the layout has been updated since the last time I used it, with the action column
being a drop down now and the item type column has been removed (part, gear,
etc).
I am curious if others are getting the same error, and what I can do to overcome
it.

Thanks,
Jim

I've just put together set 7018 (Viking ship battles the Midgard Serpent).
Inventory calls for 8 red horns (53451). Six are for the serpent but I can't
for the life of me see where the other two are supposed to go? Anyone able to
help?

Cheers!

The serpent uses 8 red horns, 2 for the head, 2 for the first body part and 4
for the third body part.

Open up Bricksstock

Go to Extras - Update database - you should then see a screen telling you it
is updating the database - when that finishes then import your inventory - that
should fix things for the catalogue/database changes that Bricklink are making.

As an on-going thing you should always run the extras - update database command
each time you open Brickstock - this ensure you are working with the latest catalogue
updates.

Hope that helps.

BTW we see the sets you are querying in our Brickstock so they are in the catalogue.

Thanks! This works. Never used the extra -update the database.

I was wondering if there is a way to backup the inventory of whats in your store,
and how to restore it if there was a problem with the website. I saw a section
in the Inventory screen for download would this be it and how is it done. If
anyone can help with this question that would be great, thank you so much.

HI there

There are 2 different ways to backup your inventory. The first is the one you
mention - download the inventory and save it as a xml file. If you then have
to restore it you can use the mass upload inventory feature to bring it back.

The 2nd way and somewhat easier, in our opinion is the use of Brickstock to download
your store inventory - that saves it as a bsx file and there is a reverse command
to upload it back to Bricklink.

Hope that helps

Thank you this will help me out thank you for the help.

Hello, yesterday I deleted the 10 items that gives the error.
today I add 1 again. And still the same so deleted it again.
What does Brickstock have to do before it is importing my stock without problems?
Are they doing this automatic without noticing from customers of the programme?

You can use the instructions to see the parts for bag 1. Go though the instructions

Hello everyone,

I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed a new Inventories Administrator,
to fill in the place that Marek left when he was promoted to Catalog Associate.

For this position we have selected member Paulvdb (Paul), whom many of you may
know as a catalog contributor, inventories contributor, and Forum participant.
He is also an established seller (since 2011, I believe) so many of you may know
him also through that channel.

Paul has distinguished himself especially by his work with older inventories,
sharing many sealed set contents data with the site for some of our precious
old vintage sets. We have found his contributions to be ultra reliable and think
he is going to do very well in this new role.

Congratulations are in order!

Russell

Thank you all. I hope to do well in this new position.

Re: Lego Store Pick Brick Wall Small Cup Vs Large

https://youtu.be/4ewH-smrNFc

Unless you get exactly the same thing in each cup this calculation really doesn't
work. It works for you if you are curious as to the value you got but really
has nothing to do with the difference in size.

Just one example: You have the 28 1x4 which would be equivalent to about 250-350
1x1 round plates which equals nearly $12 (assuming 300).

I think a simple solution would be to fill the small cup with water twice and
dump it into the large cup to see what the difference in volume is.

That is a rough guide but with bricks you cannot fill the cups completely due
to voids. I know in the past people have checked the value of filling a big vs
small cup with just one type of part at a time (2x4 bricks or 1x1 round tiles).

For example, you can get 102 2x4s (8.8c each) in a small cup, compared to 167
(9.6c) in a large. Whereas if you just scoop into the small cup, it is down at
56 bricks (16.1c).

https://youtu.be/4ewH-smrNFc

If you think you can sell them for the 6c price, you should have filled up with
the 1x1 round tile (closed eye). You can pack more than 3x of those than the
2x2 corner plate into either cup, and 3x6c = 18c, more than the "best value"
2x2 corner plates at 10c.

That might also be why your small cup appears better value, as you have 173 of
this part in the small cup but only 285 in the large cup. To make a fairer cost
comparison, you could have put 308 into the large cup (173*$16/$9). Or keep the
ratios of all the parts you add the same in both cups.

Yea I know there are multiple variables that can come into play. Next time I'm
going to buy three cups of each and go small medium to large pieces in each to
have a better idea if One is better than other.

Thanks for your input!

They are tied to the sets, but they are not tied by the "Item Appears In" data.
The "Item Appears In" data are used for links to things _within_ set inventories.
Since instruction manuals are an entry that gets created and tied automatically
to a set when a set entry is created, the instruction manuals do not have to
be put into the actual inventories. In fact, I can't even place an instruction
manual into an actual inventory.

I'm looking at the list of my lots which are not available for IC. As a part
of working that list, I looked at the catalog entry for one instruction booklet
(i.e. 1271-1). The catalog page says 'Item Appears In N/A'.

Are instructions not tied back to the set (or sets) they shipped with ?

Generally this is a 1:1 relationship, and should be obvious, but I do seem to
recall a few instructions that were coded with more than one set number. One
example of this is a set that was shipped both with and without a play stage
(or which several such examples exist from the 1990s).

See 6900/6999 for such a situation.

Hi

I am looking for help for the above kit, I recently bought an incomplete 6211
mostly in sealed original bags. I am trying to establish how many bags I should
have and if its possible to get parts lists per bag ?

I have 3 No2 bags one is missing 3 plates the other which was sealed appears
to be a copy but doesn't contain the missing plates. The third contained
small parts but again some duplicates.

Bag(s) No4 is missing.

I have 6 No7 Bags with what appears to be duplicate bags again.

All the other bags seem ok, I would just like to try and establish what I should
have and what I need to order

Thanks in advance
