  I am seeing more and more sets added without the stickered counterparts in the
inventory. I have many of these parts, and will gladly submit pix of them.

Yes please do so.

  I am not quite sure if the submissions I made the other day were done correctly
or not, especially when it comes to what number I should assign to the part.

[p=87079pb619]
[p=87079pb620]
There was needed only small corrections in names as I remember

   Here is another one, but I haven’t submitted it yet. For set 60173 :

4515pb057 ???? ( the highest number I see anywhere is 4515pb056)
Slope 10 6 x 8 with rusting sheet metal roof 48 sections pattern (Sticker) -
Set 60173

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=4515%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
exactly, first free number is 4515pb057
Please remember also about correct category, just look where other parts of this
type are
And one more advice, in describtion almost all words should beggin from capital
letter beside 'and', 'or', 'with' and other conjunction
those should have small all letters. So your description should look like this
"Slope 10 6 x 8 with Rusting Sheet Metal Roof 48 Sections Pattern (Sticker) -
Set 60173"

  
I want to get this part listed. Unfortunately I don’t have the stickered parts
for the helicopter from this set to add them also.

You could also check this message where I tried to explain addition process of
stickered counterparts
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1085264

No many users add stickered parts so many are missing in inventory.

just a loose color description or was it meant to indicate the correct color?
Because it's not white. It's more like Very Light Bluish Gray. Please
see attached picture of part with white, VLBG (shield), LBG and LG.

/Jan

It is white printed on dark plastic, so some of the plastic color is transmitted
through the paint, making it look less than white. However, the paint is definitely
white.

Cheers,

How long does it typically take to approve an inventory? 42099 has been in "pending
status" for several days now.

- Trevor

The inventory has not been completed by the submitter of it. When it is complete,
the inventory will most likely be approved in one to two days by either myself
or Paul.

I'm about to create the Danish/Norwegian version of [G=G31314] in the BL
catalogue.

But I have one question: In G31314, the 14 curved and 6 straight road sections
are claimed to be identical, but the Nordic versions look different. They contain
studs on the road, and all road sections have subtle differences (see example
of two curved sections in attached image). They may be hard to differentiate
by users, so should I just create one part and maybe have a note on it that inform
of the differences, or should every different part be created?

ago I couldn't do it anymore. I've tried three different devices.

Why would they make such a horrible change for? I rely on that heavily when listing
minifigure parts to make sure I have the correct listing. This is going to make
this job twice as long now.

Should be fixed now.

The zoom-in bug was fixed a few weeks ago but it seems that a recent site update
may have reverted the fix. I'll forward the information to someone on our
development team to take a look. I'll let you know once we've resolved
the issue.

Thank you!

Doesn't work for me either. This happened a few weeks ago. Then all of a
sudden I could enlarge them again. Then a couple days ago, it stopped letting
me enlarge them again. A big pain if you ask me.

I checked the HTML source for when you go through "Market" - "Parts" - "[some-category]"
and there is no "onclick" or anchor or anything, so this is not a browser issue.

By poking around I fond you can get the old behaviour back by changing the URL
of the page. For instance, when browsing the "Accessory, Human Tool" category,
it lands on the following URL:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=990&itemBrand=1000

Now manually change the URL to read as follows (add "Old" in there):

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?catType=P&catString=990&itemBrand=1000

Extremely clumsy, but if you are really needing large pics on those pages.

Niek.

Thank You Sooooooo Much. Life Saver!

Yes.

  I can't tell if the one in your photo is black.

It looks like Dark Blue with stars on it.

  Hi,

Looks like this parts:
 
Part No: 4460a  Name: Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
* 
4460a Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
Parts: Slope
 
Part No: 4460b  Name: Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
* 
4460b Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
Parts: Slope

is taller than described as it is 4 studs high instead of 3 unless there is a
way to measure height I don't know.

Fortunately, there is no 3 studs high slope and I believe any MOCers using the
part just call it by its name and there would be no issue when building.

Strangely, part
 
Part No: 3684c  Name: Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
* 
3684c Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
Parts: Slope
and all its variants looks like to be also 4 studs
high and not 3 (last pic clearly shows the same aspect ratio as 4460).
By the way 3684 is not marked for deletion yet.

Where was the issue ? "It's not you it's us" or just me ?

Thanks.

I used to think this until I found Tom Alphin's lego ruler and sorting tool:
http://tomalphin.com/2014/02/lego-ruler-and-sorting-tool.html

One stud is 8mm wide but a plate is 3.2mm high, therefore the size of a 1x1 brick
is 8mm x 8mm x 9.8mm. I have Tom's guide printed and laminated and reckon
that it has saved me a load of time while sorting!

Very handy. Thanks for sharing.

Miro

It's been broken for weeks. It doesn't affect all pages, which may be
why some people are reporting the issue and others are not.

It's not browser or OS related so far as I can tell - I've tried three
different browsers on two different OSes and three different computers.

The 'add to wanted list' links are also broken randomly.

It's been broken for a while; there's another thread from a few days
ago about the issue, and I reported it to the helpdesk weeks ago.

The 'Add to wanted list' links are broken in a lot of places too.
