Comments from Submitter:
I own the set 6559 and noticed that the torso for this diver is wrong, probably due to the fact that the life jacket covers the image and there is no way to confirm it from the instructions or otherwise.
|
I don't own 6559 but I own the other set that this figure came in, 6558.
The current inventory is correct for set 6558 so if set 6559 has a different
torso a new minifigure should be added to the catalog.

| I just had a situation where the buyer and me agreed to cancel an order so the
buyer could then revise the order and place a new one.
The buyer had already paid for the order via EFT (Canada).
I canceled the order and went through all the steps on the "Manage Refund"
portion of the order page. The order no longer shows up on my FEES page, so I
know that BL has completed the cancellation.
My question is, does BL initiate the EFT transfer of the funds back to the buyer,
or do I need to do that myself?
If BL does it, how long does that usually take? The buyer has already paid for
the revised order, but I want to make sure that he's not out the money for
the original order for very long - but I also don't want to transfer the
money to him if BL is going to do it again.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Bricklink can only initiate refunds for onsite payments through Paypal or Stripe.
If the buyer used an offsite payment method you'll have to do the refund
yourself.

Reading the instructions on how to do that, it looks like I would need to be

out and then see if there are any errors to correct in order to build cred?

Yep.
However, it is very hard to correct modern inventories that are usually close
to 100% correct. So correcting older inventories pre-2020 would be where you
would mostly look for things to fix. Having said that, it is getting harder each
year to find older inventories that need correcting as they get are continually
being updated from many helpful members that buy sealed old sets and rip them
open for the greater good of the catalog.
|
For modern sets the only corrections that are usually needed are new molds or
prints that can sometimes be found in later production runs and should be added
as alternates to the inventory.

My own set (originally bought sealed and never mixed with parts from other sets)

Author: | paulvdb | Posted: | Mar 29, 2023 00:13 | Subject: | Re: ATTN: BrickLink "Trans-Black" Color Change | Viewed: | 98 times | Topic: | Catalog | |
|
| In Catalog, randyf writes:
| Dear BrickLink members,
In May of this year, the LEGO Group plans to release a new color, and this has
implications for the BrickLink catalog and marketplace. The new color being introduced
is 375 Transparent Black, and we believe it will eventually replace LEGO color
111 Transparent Brown.
As most of you know, the greater fan community has for many years referred to
LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown as "Trans-Black". Up until now, this
name has served us well because there was no official LEGO color known as Transparent
Black. Now that the LEGO Group is introducing a color officially known as Transparent
Black, it will cause alignment problems to have the same name being used for
two different colors.
We anticipate that the introduction of this color will cause some disruptions
over the short term, but we have created a plan of action to minimize those disruptions.
The first thing we will do is change the name of the current Trans-Black color
to "Trans-Brown (Old Trans-Black)". This change is scheduled to
take place at the beginning of April. This will ensure that the name change will
be very noticeable within the catalog, set inventories, BrickLink stores, order
summaries, etc., so that the majority of BrickLink users can adjust to the change.
Next, the new color will be added to the catalog as "Trans-Black (2023)"
to make it very obvious that this is a new color and should not be used for older
set inventories and older parts being listed for sale. This addition is expected
to happen at the beginning of May when set 75346 is released and inventoried:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1398124
After a 6-month transition, we will remove the text in parentheses from both
color names. The older color will then be "Trans-Brown", and the
newer color will be "Trans-Black". This will complete the transition.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The question arises, why have we decided to go the route outlined above rather
than leaving "Trans-Black" aligned to LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown
and creating a new color name for the new LEGO color 375 Transparent Black? There
are several reasons.
First, we want to make sure that we do not create long-term confusion between
these colors, since we believe the new LEGO color 375 Transparent Black will
become the standard color and LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown will become just
another part of the history of the brick system we all know and love. As time
goes by, the older color will not be seen as often and the newer color will be
everywhere. And after what we hope is a relatively short period of time, BrickLink
users will adjust naturally to the change.
Second, coming up with a name for a new color is not an easy task. Although it
looks darker than the current LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown, it doesn't
look much different from what most people would say is some type of "transparent
blackish gray" color. Typically, new color names grow longer over time to
help distinguish from existing colors, so we could end up with something like
"Trans-Very Dark Bluish Gray".
Longer names are something we have come to accept in a catalog that covers the
entire history of LEGO colors, but it helps lower the entry barrier to BrickLink
when we can use simpler names at least for the most common colors. Using the
relatively short names "Trans-Brown" and "Trans-Black" are ideal
instead of retaining "Trans-Black" for the earlier color and creating
a longer name for the new color.
Finally, aligning the names of the two colors with the official LEGO color names
helps us future-proof the BrickLink catalog. By aligning these color names now,
we make sure that any other colors the LEGO Group may introduce within this range
in the future would not cause any further issues.
Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Are there also going to be changes to other colors where Bricklink and Lego use
the same name for different colors like dark green?

When importing a set inventory in Brickstore there is a checkbox for including
counterparts. If you are using it to part out sets you should make sure that
that box is unchecked. Unless of course you want to have those counterparts listed
in your store. But in that case you should make sure to manually remove the individual
parts that make up those counterparts.
