BrickLink inventories are provided by volunteers. So the next step for you is
inventory it or wait until someone else does.

Isn't this a quickest asked question about inventory of new set which just
added. This set was just added to the catalog yesterday So I presume from
the question that inventory should be already approved simultaneously with set
addition to the catalog
(Winner of this competition will be when will ask about set's inventory just
after it will be added to the catalog )

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,

the extraneous parts, add the missing parts to the catalog, and have it ready

been waiting far too long for the inventory to be completed!

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

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.

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

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

| | 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.

Maybe Bricklink should have a bounty system where anyone who wants something
inventoried can donate a dollar or two that will be paid to the person who does
the set. When there are dozens of people waiting to part it out, it wouldn't
be long before someone would want to snatch that money.

The minifigs are already in the catalog. I have a little too much on my plate
in other areas of life at the moment. I might inventory it a few weeks from
now if it isn't done. But you don't have to inventory the minifigs to
inventory the set. I often inventory minifigs in sets that have already been
inventoried.

Also, after reviewing the inventory again, in addition to the problems I already
noted there are some problems with the extras section too: there is no way that
this set includes any pieces in violet or light orange. I fear this inventory
will need some extensive review.

XML is not a file type, it just refers to a way to structure data in plain text.
It only means that item data is placed in between tags with pointy brackets.
A file in XML formatting can have any kind of extension: txt, xls, html, ...
If you need another extension, you can just rename the file. If that doesn't
work, then probably you need something else than an XML formatted file. What
do you need it for?

Thank you.
I am trying to copy my inventory over to Brickowl. They ask for XML files.
I get "Lot ID" errors from every format I've used

Ah yes. I've written my own converter for this. But you can use Brickstock:
Brickstock can read Bricklink xml formatted files, and save them as bsx. That
bsx file should be fit for upload on BrickOwl.

Jaclyn away from the site.
In any case, we have heard all of the feedback and will be reversing course on
the inventories. We had planned to make an announcement in a few days concerning
this to ask for feedback on what had been done, but we wanted stuff in place
for users to look at. So this thread was not a complete loss to us, but you did
jump the gun on us, Jonas.
Please bear with us as we work out the kinks.

I've glad that they not have catalog entries of their own.
The only way it will work in actually set inventories, is if there is a way to
part down parts in sets easily. If so, I think it would be good.

Ah, okay, my fault: no quotes around the region.
And to get the correct values for the region, try this:
— start editing the cell by deleting the region,
— do not validate, just let the text cursor where the region will be,
— go to the page with the colour and select the area (the two columns with colours
IDs and names), the formula should now have the correct region,
— validate.
If that cell now has the correct value, then you can edit the formula again to
add the $ so you can use it in the other cells.

Okay, this is obviously beyond my skill set. Anyone like to show me, preferably
via screen shots, exactly how to do this. Please.
|
For the first part:
1. Download the set inventory as Tab-delimited (should give you a “S-NNN-1.txt”
file).
2. Open Excel, open the file from Excel (or drag and drop it), it should give
you an import dialog where you can tweek things (delimiters, how numbers are
read, locale…) but you shouldn’t have to change anything because the tab-delimited
file is pretty simple/default.
You should now have the inventory in a table.
If you want to get colour names instead (or rather, besides) their code, well,
my Excel is a bit rusty (I use LibreOffice now) but this should do it:
1. Download the colour table as Tab-delimited (should give you a “colors.txt”
file).
2. Open it from Excel like above.
Note that it should be possible to cross/match from an external file but I’m
not sure how, so we’ll do it in one file, the one we have the inventory in.
3. Select and copy the first two columns (others are not needed).
4. Go back to the inventory file.
5. Create a new page (it’s cleaner) and paste the colours names and IDs.
6. Add a column in the inventory for the colour names.
7. Use the VLOOKUP function for the first item: “=VLOOKUP( E3 ; region ; 2 )”.
“E3” should be the cell with the colour code for the first item (line 3). “region”
is the whole region with the colours in the second page (e.g. “$Page2.A3.B217”).
“2” is because we want the value in the 2nd column, the colour name.
8. Add a $ before every value in the region (e.g. if it was “$Page2.A3.B217”,
make it “$Page2.$A$3.$B$217”). That will block the values (they won’t change
when the formula is moved or copy-pasted or dragged.
9. Apply the formula all the way down, for all the items by dragging the bottom-right
handle.
Now all the items have the colour code and names.

=VLOOKUP(E3;"$Page2.$A$3.$B$217";2)that's my formula
|
Not sure if this works different in other language versions of Excel, but based
on how I work with formulas in my Dutch version of Excel I think the correct
version of that formula should be =VLOOKUP(E3;Page2!$A$3:$B$217;2;false)
The false at the end of the formula makes sure that it will only look for the
exact value in the list of colors. Otherwise it will use the nearest value if
your cell E3 has a value that's not in the list of colors.

Actually, you could also import the XML version but the tab-delimited file contains
