Question, sorry if the answer is obvious, I haven't been in every corner
of this site.

Is there a way to know what sets are in progress of being inventoried vs what
ones still need volunteers?

Yes
Inventories pending approval

This inventory is completed and ready for use. Thanks to the inventory admins
for the quick approval!

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 )

  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!
Tim

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

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562

Cheers,
Randy

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

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.

  There is also no set-in-stone amount of time for completion of an inventory.
Therefore, this new contributor will be given a chance to correct things. As
I said before, if they are unwilling to complete the inventory or fail to do
it in an appropriate amount of time after having been notified, then the inventory
will be discarded.

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...

  Agreed, but perhaps new people should not start with brand new, high-demand sets.

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.

  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
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

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.

Randy

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.

Second- I never saw any document on how to create new numbers for minifig and
parts.

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.

Nope. Nobody is working on that set.

Look like i will have to wait before part out.
Thank you

Why wait for someone else?

You could try your hand at doing the inventory yourself since you have the set
on hand and allow everyone to benefit from your benevolence.

OK. Thanks for the reply.

Do we really need to give this person more time after there has been little-to-no
progress for a week? Surely I'm not the only seller waiting to part out

week looks busy so hopefully someone else can take over it.

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.

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.
