| | Hi,
There are no plumes are in this set (6021). Only with the minifigures.
I tried to fill in an inventory request, but I have gotten an error page.
Ciao!

All of the plumes are in this set and follow the inventory guidelines laid out
here:

Hi all,
Thanks for the reply.
I didn't know that there was such a thing with those plumes.
I still is strange that those extra plumes aren't categorised under Extra
parts, because you don't need them for building the set.
Greetings,
Tim

There is no image for the "Central Perk" glass panel and the 1x4 "Service" tile
has already been added to the catalog. The only parts I can see that are still
missing (and still not awaiting approval) are the black 1x4x3 menu tile and the
sticker sheet.
Additionally the inventory still contains most of the minifigures parts which
obviously need to be removed. The Pearl gold cone listed is also the wrong variety.
It almost feels like the member doing the inventory for this set doesn't
have the set in hand: this should be a requirement, especially for an exclusive
set like this.
If an admin will release this inventory to me I will double-check it, remove
the extraneous parts, add the missing parts to the catalog, and have it ready
for approval today. I parted out five of these more than a week ago and have
been waiting far too long for the inventory to be completed!

The admin team discussed this situation behind the scenes and came to the decision
to release this inventory to you for completion. After some further research,
it was decided that this was the best course of action for this inventory. Good
luck! 
Cheers,

Thank you for taking the time to review the situation. I'm working on it
right now. It will be ready for review no later than tomorrow evening.

I hope "appropriate" means "short". Also, discarding it seems like a waste,
if the current user cannot finish it, just leave it as is for someone else--if
the new person wants to start from scratch it is easy enough to so.
|
The biggest bottleneck when doing inventories is adding new items to the catalog.
If there are items not in the catalog yet, you could speed up the approval process
by adding them.
|
Done. Took 10 minutes, tops. With my phone. Not sure why there has been such
a delay.
I didn't see anything else missing but if there is let me know, and I'll
take care of it. I wish I could help clean up the rest of the inventory...

We do not dictate what people should or should not inventory. If someone wants
to contribute to BrickLink, we are not going to discourage them.
| | I wonder how this new user is going to recall his first inventory--it seems
like it may have been a little overwhelming.
|
After looking through the credits log, this user is not a new inventory submitter
after all, so I believe that the inventory will eventually be completed to everyone's
satisfaction.

was going to languish for so long I would have just reserved it myself--despite
my reservations about working for BL for free in its current state.
|
The inventory was first submitted on September 13 and last updated 2 days ago.
In my time as an Inventories Admin (almost a year), the amount of time this set
has been worked on is right on par with the amount of time the majority of new
sets are in the process of being inventoried. There is nothing at all that stands
out to me in this case as far as time is concerned.
| | I hope "appropriate" means "short".
|
"Appropriate" means two weeks without any additions or changes to the inventory
once notified.
I believe your impatience is getting the best of you. You are free to use the
other tools that BrickLink provides to part out the set manually if you cannot
wait.
Cheers,
Randy

It is not the first inventory from this user.

I wonder how this new user is going to recall his first inventory--it seems
like it may have been a little overwhelming. The first few inventories I did
were for small sets and figures that had been sitting for a while, so I didn't
feel any pressure while I was learning the process. After I was comfortable,
I had no problem turning around some larger sets (with new parts) in just a couple
of days.
I'm usually pretty patient with this stuff, but if I had known this inventory
was going to languish for so long I would have just reserved it myself--despite

| | I thought inventories for new, in-production sets were supposed to be completed
using a new, sealed set (not instructions like is indicated for this set). Maybe
my recall is fuzzy but I thought I read that here.
|
They are. However, many new contributors do not understand the process and do
not realize that using the instruction manual along with a sealed set constitutes
selecting "Sealed Set Contents" as the source. This is not the first time or
last time that someone has done or will do this.
Cheers,
Randy
