Do you have proofs the seller didn’t do that?
Do you have proofs the next possibility, BL, did that?

What Sylvain/1001bricks said earlier is exactly that:
— when someone blames BL, they don’t have proofs,
— those who have backups and traces always find it’s their fault / can never
pin it on BL.

  If this is true, the database and the way it handles orders and other changes
is even more gone astray than I could imagine....

No - it just means the contrary.

I almost had never any stock problem.

The ones In thought happened was almost always an error or a normal behaviour
in the end.
Apart a few times in a few years.

So, that means if you're not able to SAVE and CHECK with inventories what
you did, then you can't say "It's BL!!!!"

Seriously?
Do you really say that this is what's required to maintain a correct inventory
on BL these days?

That's the equivalent of checking every aisle in a grocery store after closing
time.
Every day.
Again.
All day's.

That’s not what Sylvain said.

He said that if you don’t have proofs it’s BL, then your complaints are moot.

It’s like realizing one aisle of your grocery store is totally empty and blaming
it on magical gremlins coming to eat things at night.
Come to think of it, it’s how the theory of spontaneous generation came about. 
Look it out and how it was debunked.  Spoiler: it’s about proofs and science,
not magic.

stupid merge indeed

3062b wasn’t merged.  It was renamed (removing the ‘open stud’) and re-IDed to
3062.  3062a still exists:

 
Part No: 3062  Name: Brick, Round  1 x 1
* 
3062 Brick, Round 1 x 1
Parts: Brick, Round
 
Part No: 3062a  Name: Brick, Round  1 x 1 - Solid Stud, Bottom Lip
* 
3062a Brick, Round 1 x 1 - Solid Stud, Bottom Lip

... that sellers still don't download their Inventory XML everyday and use
BrickStore to compare or restore any problem.

So until then, it's probably not a BrickLink problem.


Or you have some versions associated with an impossible color (like old
part with a new color), hence the color change.

That's one of the versions problems; many lots for sale are just either lies,
mistakes or typos

I just noticed that all my DARK BROWN 3062 turned into BROWN, AND their prices
changed too, from inventories A & C!!!
It's SO UNBELIEVABLE, I didn't get any mail from the BL team saying there
was a major issue since the variant merge...
Please, has anyone noticed this issue?
are there any other bugs??

Thanks!

Another option is to create a rebrickable.com account. Upload your inventory
to rebrickable. Find the set and it will show you the parts you have and those
that you need. You can also create lists of bricks that may not be in your bricklink
inventory.

How do you find out which parts for a set you have in your inventory without

build it

Many thanks

Hi,
The easiest way would be to make a Wanted List and check this Wanted List in
your store just after

Nicolas

It's NOT the easiest.

https://www.brickstore.dev/ makes it far easier.

A few clicks to find which parts are in your shop and (if you wish) remove them
from your shop, which is impossible with a wanted-list.

I was upload an inventory of a part and reached the "note to inventories

For context the part I was inventorying was a motorcycle from an old city set
that I used to have in my collection that I am now parting out and noticed the
bike had no inventory. I bought the set sealed when it was released so I am sure
that the parts are the correct one of the assembly.

Thanks

You should put the "I bought the set sealed when it was released" line
into that notes field.

Thats what I ended up putting in

Normally I enter something like "work in progress" or "ready!"
or say something about it such as "this item had no inventory so I checked
the one I had on hand..." and so on

Why is Mack not considered a minifigure? I do not see a difference

in the movies he is a character. So why the difference?

Is Mack just the Tractor or the Tractor and the Trailer?

I'm going to say the former. That makes the Trailer an accessory that shouldn't
be included??

I believe just the cab is the minifigure Mack. Yes, the trailer is a "wearable"
accessory however I would not include the trailer as such.

I guess this is the issue of having obviously not minifigures in the minifigures
category. Small animal characters like Scooby Doo or big ones like Smaug go in
animals, so it seems odd to put vehicle based characters in minifigs and not
in the existing vehicle category. If this is going ahead, presumably Ent / Treebeard
spa0019 can also be moved into minifigures too.

Thanks for your answer, it worked indeed !
I added the image on the sh946.
For the sh946, I have 2 parts pending approval (head and torso), maybe because
the text isbover 150 characters, but for a first, I've found the golden ticket
with this Venomized Dr Octopus, with two parts dual sided, and a torso with 2
differents Arms and hands colors ! A nightmare...
If anyone can help do better than what I shortened to my Best... 😬🙄

Thanks

I try to add it using the form under the inventory, but wether I try the new

Thanks for your help by advance.

For sh684 just ignore the item not found message. Just click the link and it
will go away and allow you to add the quantity and add it.

For pending sh946 we need an image uploading for it before it can be approved.

Thanks,

This can be confirmed from the instructions manual, which clearly shows 3684

Instruction manuals are not a source for variants. LEGO uses new image renders
or old image renders indiscriminately.

I do have 2 copies of such set to support this as well.

It's real easy to add an image and link to your posts. Click the Add catalog

  Hello everyone.
I know that Bricklink is close to operate significant variations merge operations
on its inventory, so I don't know if the subject part is also part of this
operations (but I hope it will).
I have used very often Bricklink inventory as reference to complete my sets,
but lately I have noticed that part 3847 seems to have replaced part 3847a in
many old castle sets inventory, and not as an alternate part.
As a lego-castle loving child and then adult I have owned and built many of the
sets I see now listed with 3847 swords and in my experience they doesn't
appear in most of the ones I recall or still have built for exposition.
This post in not meant to be a rant about something I see as a discrepancy, but
more curiosity about how you're dealing with that. For instance I assembled
set 1596 and 1547: both show in the box photos a 3847a sword, but both have as
inventory only a 3847 sword. Should I list them as incomplete, or being a mold
variant I should not?

Thank you for your time and, maybe, answer

Another great example as to why things should stay the way they are. Personally,
though, saying it has a mold variant seems like it would be the only logical
thing to do.

Hello everyone.
I know that Bricklink is close to operate significant variations merge operations
on its inventory, so I don't know if the subject part is also part of this
operations (but I hope it will).
I have used very often Bricklink inventory as reference to complete my sets,
but lately I have noticed that part 3847 seems to have replaced part 3847a in
many old castle sets inventory, and not as an alternate part.
As a lego-castle loving child and then adult I have owned and built many of the
sets I see now listed with 3847 swords and in my experience they doesn't
appear in most of the ones I recall or still have built for exposition.

Hi!
I read somewhere that users can submit an inventory list for a set, how do I
go about that?

Have an epic day!

It is a catalog inconsistency, and it isn't the only one. These may or may
not be dealt with in the future.

Aren't they meant to be tentacles, so part of the creature rather than discrete
weapons.

b) No

Most sales of variants are driven by the inventories, which in turn populate
buyer want lists. If the variants aren't going to be in the inventories,
there is no point in differentiating them.

I'll keep what I currently have separated and try to send the same variant
for an order, but once I run out that's it. My shop is small and I cannot
charge the premium prices needed to justify the additional labor of continuing
to sort these to service for the vintage collector/restorer market.

Yes, I do plan on listing the different molds whenever possible. However, I am
already in the habit of distinguishing between many variants in my Comments.
It's not a great system though and requires a significant amount of extra
work on my part. I wouldn't think it is a viable option for any other than
specialty or hobby shops like mine. It's a nightmare to check inventory
when you have multiple lots per part. I have to label everything and note how
many total lots I have so I don't mess up and grab the wrong lot when pulling
orders.

I also distinguish between 'good' used and play wear. So, I end up with
many lots for vintage parts. I would bet it is actually quite off-putting to
those trying to fill out wanted lists. I constantly worry that the Easy Buy system
is bringing buyers to my shop without reading the Comments before placing an
order.

Thanks,
~Jen

Already use it to separate unrecognised variants, this just means I have even
more, certain to increase in future when other changes are implemented.

  Those are good arguments against doing it.

There are good arguments on both sides. For example, the fact that in LEGO doesn't
distinguish some mould variants is a good argument why BL doesn't need to.
But then there are cases where LEGO does distinguish and BL aggregates them under
a single number plus letter for the variant.

It could be complicated where BL has used single entries for parts when LEGO
has used multiple. For example, I wonder what will happen in the longer term
to parts like this.

 
Part No: 6019  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with U Clip (Horizontal Grip)
* 
6019 Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with U Clip (Horizontal Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified
 
Part No: 61252  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip (Horizontal Grip)
* 
61252 Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip (Horizontal Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified

where they have different BL code numbers and

 
Part No: 4085a  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thin (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085a Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thin (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified
 
Part No: 4085b  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with U Clip Thin (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085b Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with U Clip Thin (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified
 
Part No: 4085c  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with U Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085c Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with U Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified
 
Part No: 4085d  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
* 
4085d Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thick (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified

where they use the same number but variant letters, even though LEGO has used
a range of different item numbers for the d variant. Should the latter be merged
or should they be split into different part numbers? Should the different d variants
have multiple entries even though they appear to be the same thing. It seems
strange that these two types of clip are treated in a very different way, one
keeping two distinct codes, the other aggregating them into one but using made
up code letters to distinguish them.

If the image comparing 4085 variants is removed, and there is just one 4085 entry
not showing any differences, will most people even care? If they can use any
3001 from the late 70s onwards to complete a 1982 set or a 2024 set because the
inventory says so, why not use any 1x1 clip with vertical grip because the inventory
also says so. Does it really matter that one person (often later) said that they
found a particular variant in their set, so everyone else's set should be
the same if it is to be the real thing and allowed to be sold here. Of course,
it may well be true that they found that exact part in a sealed set that cost
them $100s, but should that impact on everyone else if they want to sell a used
set.

No but for the first few months I will keep them separated so that where possible
I can pick a buyers order with all the same type. Once I feel more confident
that the buying community has become accustomed to the fact that they could receive
either variant within the same order batch I may then start to merge my stocks
into the same storage bin.

No. I think such comments might confuse and possibly put off some buyers. The
a, b, c type variants only really exist because they were catalogued here. If
they are no longer catalogued here then adding a comment that you will get a
'b' variant will be lost on many buyers and may leave them wondering
what they will get. It really depends on which images are retained to show the
part once merged. Where vintage parts come from known sets, I think I will comment
as i do now on the date range or the set they came from, if those parts attract
a premium price.

Those are good arguments against doing it.

I don't know.

I've never pulled the trigger so far and maybe I won't again, but it
is another moment where I'm thinking about just walking away.

I already verified that it's the same size and coloring. It's the same
flag as listed in the catalog.

That looks like yellowing due to age or interaction with chemicals present in
the environment. Unfortunately I don't know how you would clean that, but
perhaps someone on the forums will see this post and help you out with some information.
It might also be the lighting has an effect on the colors picked up in the flag.

For future reference it's easy to add parts using the "Add macro"
button when editing your post, the part above would look like the below macro
I've added to this post, reply to this and look at how the forum software
inserts it to get a better understanding. For best results, use the "Add
macro" button, as it will show colors that a part has available for it, and
color information stops the error you will get when trying to add parts without
using the "Add macro" button:

 
Part No: x376px6  Name: Cloth Flag 8 x 5 Wave with Royal Knights Lion Head on Red and White Background Pattern

  What other set in the series did you have?


Right, I'm aware of the other sets in that theme, but that doesn't really
matter since none of them came with the large flag. I had King's Carriage,
Skeleton Surprise, and Royal Drawbridge.

In such a small set that has a good photo in the catalog, you can clearly see

Does anyone know where it might be in another set? I can't find it anywhere,
but obviously I've got it. I want to say it was an individual mini fig, sold
with maybe a horse and the red lion cape (which also says it's only in one
set).

Hi

I’ve been having a google and I’m pretty sure this set had instructions. It’s
marked as blank in BL. I don’t have them so I can’t be sure. Is there a way to
verify / update?

The extra plumes are seldom found with used sets found at sales. Keys in the

not seem right that a castle must be listed as incomplete if an unused plume
is not included.


It can be listed as complete per definition of used complete set:

Complete - Set contains all parts necessary to build all of the models
(including alternate models) in the instructions
but does not have to contain
the original box/packaging and/or extra parts. If the set is missing instructions,
the description must list this. If the set did not come with instructions then
the set should include all parts listed in the picture inventory which is located
on the box or bucket. The set must include all original stickers used on the
model either still on the sticker sheet or applied.


https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102#:~:text=Complete%20%2D%20Contents%20are%20brand%20new,)%20and%20original%20box%2Fpackaging.

This definition does not say "Set contains all parts in the regular
or alternate section".
If the plumes in a castle set are not used in any alternate model, the set can
be listed complete without them.



  This is especially true of black plumes.

The instructions show neither of these (perhaps I have missed them) but does
show
plume feather triple 4502b

Thanks for your help.

Set No: 6059  Name: Knight's Stronghold
* 
6059-1 (Inv) Knight's Stronghold
206 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1990
Sets: Castle: Black Knights

Thanks for your help.

It is used in a minifigure:
 
Minifig No: cas173  Name: Breastplate - Armor over Black, Black Helmet, Dark Gray Visor, Blue 3-Feather Plume
* 
cas173 (Inv) Breastplate - Armor over Black, Black Helmet, Dark Gray Visor, Blue 3-Feather Plume
Minifigures: Castle: Black Falcons

Use the “break minifigure” option to show parts that are used in minifigures
to the inventory.


Now, for the usual question of why the other plumes are in Regular while they
are not used to build the set:

The plumes came together on a sprue:
 
Part No: 4502  Name: Minifigure, Plume / Feather Wheel, 3 on Sprue
* 
4502 (Inv) Minifigure, Plume / Feather Wheel, 3 on Sprue
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Accessory
so the sprue should be in Regular.
But as one is already in a minifigure, the sprue is broken and two remaining
plumes go to Regular too.

Yes the full plume wheel is in the set. It has to be taken apart as 1 is needed
for the figure so the rest are normal parts

Well, this is a turntable base:

Could it be that Rebrickable shows white on the assembly of the two? Like:

Parts: Turntable {White}
(which is in the "alternate items" on the inventory for your set).

“Counterpart,” not “Alternate”

Rebrickable (wrongly) has the base in White (and I don’t think they do assemblies/counterparts
there).
Brickset (which has this inventory from LEGO) has it in Black, like BL.

I think this is just that OP stumbled upon an inventory with errors on Rebrickable. 
They have a forum there too where I guess this can be discussed.

I've seen cases where the part is missing completely from Rebrickable.

Also, Rebrickable now shows the extra parts (which Lego catalogs never do).

They are not from the same source.

Inventories on Rebrickable are taken directly from LEGO, which means they contain
the inventory as reported by LEGO, which may not be the same as was actually
shipped out and which does not cater for all variants that Bricklink distinguishes
(but may distinguish variants that are considered as the same on Bricklink).

Inventories on Bricklink are (nowadays) pre-filled from the same source of LEGO,
but are always manually checked and verified against what was actually packed.
The Bricklink inventories are also amended by distinguishing variants, counting
the extras (like most small parts), alternates (like different variants) and
counterparts (like stickers applied on parts, or wheel-tire assemblies).

Also, please keep in mind that although LEGO's part numbers (design ids)
are used on multiple platforms, the numbering of variants and decorated parts
may differ from platform to platform.

What sort of discrepancies? Part variations? Missing parts? Modern or vintage
sets?

  Hi

Hasn't it taken very long with inventory approval on Gringotts Wizarding
Bank?
It's been over 3 months since it came on the market :o

Hello,

Yes, this time frame is very unusual. The member who was originally working on
this set and did the lion's share of the work was unable to finish it, unfortunately.

I am working on it now, and it is complete and waiting for approval. There's
a discrepancy in the data from LEGO which has to be worked out. The box says
4803 parts but only 4801 are actually used from what I found! It will be ready
as soon as this info is confirmed and the admin decide how to proceed.

Thanks,
~Jen

It's a very large set, so if someone is working on the inventory, it will
take a while.

If you have the set, you can add the inventory here:

Yes, the forms are a bit tricky to figure out. If you would like to add a stickered
part to a set on BrickLink, here is a guide for the process:

  I have a lot of bulk Lego I was going through and inventorying, sorting for ease
of use. I’m nearly finished doing that, and I’m to the point where I want to
easily put some of these sets together. I had assumed (likely foolishly) that
I would be able to do the reverse of “Part Out” based on my inventory - ex: I
choose a set that I have a specific item for that only comes in one set, I click
it, it says what parts it contains - is there any way to directly cross reference
that with the inventory I have in my parts, and second, to move the parts from
Parts to Set as a collective?

Next, I had thought I could do this in my Wanted list, but when I put items into
the Wanted list by way of parts, the quantity I own does not show. Is there anywhere
it will show without individually clicking on every item?

Thanks!

You can enter -1 in the amount of a set you have to partout. I have never done
it and it feels kind of risky to me, but I have seen it mentioned as a solution
to your problem before.

There's confusion as to how many parts are in this actual set, which I believe
to be brickset's inventory not being complete:m

Brickset.com states on it's entry for this set: "According to the set
database, this set has 194 parts." but the official LEGO instructions contain
158 parts. The inventory from LEGO.com contains 158 parts. This suggests that
the inventory is 81.4% complete."

The entry on peeron.com states that the string is braided, 21L, and contains
end studs.

http://peeron.com/inv/sets/6462-1

If anyone has a sealed 6462 please verify what is in it. The only sets for sale
on BrickLink are all used, some incomplete.

Apart from the string length, the BrickLink inventory looks pretty accurate.

Cheers ...

ghyde

There are also some sets where the string is sold inclusive to a reel and hook.
So it could be listed like that.

Nita Rae

Perusing the inventory shows no official association listed for it. The whole
point is to try and determine what the string length in the original set was,
if at all possible.

String for sets back then likely came in either a cardboard box containing the
string or it was wound onto a flat piece of cardboard with tabs and with the
string inserted into notches or taped down. I seem to recall a few LEGO sets
that had the latter variety whenever string was included in a set.

You wouldn't happen to have any 6462 sets awaiting parting out would you?


Cheers ...

Actually, the undetermined refers to the fact that no one has yet to correct

Ah yes. Even then, is there any guarantee the lengths are correct. I have a couple
of used strings from a set with a defined length and they are not exactly equal
to the length in the catalogue, both slightly different but over by up to 1cm.
Which suggests these either vary a little within production, have stretched in
use, were measured incorrectly or measured in a different way. It doesn't
matter for the function the string is used for, so not a big deal.


The strings will fluctuate around the number it should be according to LEGO inventory
data. So, a 50cm string will likely fall somewhere between 48.5cm to 51.5cm.
For our purposes, we use the number that TLG intended the set to be used with.

Thankyou all for your comments.

I am thinking I will purchase a string so I can make it approximately 50cm in
length.
It would be nice if someone could update the length or part number in bricklink.
-
As far as the number of parts go in the set, ...well, I will stick with bricklink
information. This is a different topic from my question.

Thanks,
Mark

String lengths are not exact and can indeed vary a bit. I have some notes from
a few sets with x77ac30. The string lengths I found varied between 29.5 and 31
cm.

I wish to buy the string for set 6462 Aerial Recovery.
It is listed as:

x77a String, Cord Thin (Undetermined Length)

I see x77a listed with various lengths in the description. After someone tells
me length for set 6462 is it allowed to cut a longer string to that length.
OR does that mean I have ruined the string as a true Lego part?

How is it done to keep the set authentic? How to know proper string length?

Thanks,
Mark

Brickowl has it as 50cm long. So long as the longer string is genuine LEGO I
think you can use one that has been cut. After all, the strings were all originally
cut from a longer roll before being put into sets. I think the undetermined refers
to the length not being consistent over its production time. The length doesn't
really affect the play and it doesn't matter if it is off by a couple of
cm in production.


Actually, the undetermined refers to the fact that no one has yet to correct
the inventory with the proper length of string that came with the set.

There's confusion as to how many parts are in this actual set, which I believe
to be brickset's inventory not being complete:

Brickset.com states on it's entry for this set: "According to the set
database, this set has 194 parts." but the official LEGO instructions contain
158 parts. The inventory from LEGO.com contains 158 parts. This suggests that
the inventory is 81.4% complete."

The entry on peeron.com states that the string is braided, 21L, and contains
end studs.

http://peeron.com/inv/sets/6462-1

If anyone has a sealed 6462 please verify what is in it. The only sets for sale
on BrickLink are all used, some incomplete.

Apart from the string length, the BrickLink inventory looks pretty accurate.

Cheers ...

Did you use a 3rd party tool or did you do it through BrickLink?

I used BrickStore as it seemed the easiest to handle inventory. Jokes on me…

Did you use the box in the bottom of this page?

https://www.bricklink.com/invXML.asp

Top one is upload new things, bottom one is to update inventory items with lot
id.

PD: If you consolidated using BrickStore don't you have the original file
you downloaded?

I figured out what I did. Unfortunately I had to go through an recount the ones
I cataloged that day. Not a huge deal...just happened to be the 1x1 rounds so
it was kind of obnoxious. Either way...I learned. haha

Not, unless you've downloaded your inventory as backup.

Of course I didn’t. So in order to override everything. I would need to pull
my Bricklink inventory on Brickstore, change the quantities and update. Alright.
Well, atleast this happened early on instead of later down the road.

  Dear admin
I already bought my new set and cheked inventory.
In extra parts there is no additional hat 1849pb01.
Best regards

Extras vary many people do get that part as an extra

Just opened second box and I'm not lucky. I have only one hat.

It’s usually region specific as in some factories that made it will include
it meanwhile others won’t but it has been a confirmed extra by many people and
extras are just that. Extras they may or may not be Included and sellers should
always check when parting out their set
