They haven't been merged there are still separate entries for normal (with

They have been renamed to remove the "with groove" from the modern part
(well, 40 years old, but non-vintage part), and also renumbered from 3069b to
3069 and so on, so that the BL number correctly references the number that has
been used for about four decades and is not influenced by a part that hasn't
been produced for almost half a century.

3070a should actually be 3070 and 3070 should be 3070a. The same with 3069/3069a.
3070a has been around since 1965, 3070 only since 1972. 3 letters would also
be saved.
But what can you ask of the catalogue administrators in the meantime...

According to Russell, the 3069b and 3070b were never the grooved variety but
have always been the umbrella entity. The chosen renumbering reflects that.

I disagree. It should not be based on what came first, especially where the change
between them predates Bricklink and the internet. Nobody was calling these 3070
and 3070a in 1973 or in 1983 or in 1993. The 'modern' part had been in
existence for decades before bricklink was started and so it would have made
sense to call the modern part 3070 and the vintage one 3070a or 3070old. Most
people looking for a 3070 would want the modern part, not the vintage one. It
makes sense to use the LEGO part number for the most common version or current
version.

Hi folks.

Yesterday i received an order of a regular customer.

He ordered parts from the 1x1 square tile , and 1x2 tile.

If i packed the order blindly i would have sent him the with groove variant.

The variants with and without groove seem to have merged.

The tile's where not on the list for merging?
Or maby on the "original" list but scrapped from merging i believe.

This is causing a major headache.


But because i know this customer almost exclusive buys old parts.
I messaged him about this problem and indeed he needed the without groove variant.


Please clearify this.

Also i would like to know why remarks are not consolidated?
Is this because bricklink will sent me a guy/girl that will relocate any "lost"
pieces in ghost drawers?

As a strategist i tend to see a long term goal to relocate people from second
hand market towards the PAB wall. A fee from a bricklink sale is way less then
the full cut they get other wise. People can only take so much "pain"
to look for older parts and are not willing to invest an increasing amount of
time to complete something. Also the complete silence from TLG regarding the
upcomming and current turbulences from this merge are quite worrying to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes

So, NO, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I DID WRONG ; PROOF ; These personal remarks are
STILL WRITTEN IN BRICKSTORE (in the bsx files I still have on my computer) !!

You mean Inventory stockrooms? How do you use your stockrooms? Are there the
same items in normal inventory? Do they have the Remarks? Do you have a donwloaded
(xml) file showing those exact lots having the Remarks, like a day before? Did
you upload something? What are the merge options especially about Remarks on
BrickLink?

It can be a complex problem/reason, you really have to get all information to
understand what happened. I don't believe BrickLink simply "decided"
to remove Remarks.

  Hey there!
So..** I'm a seller **
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!
Soon

There hasn't been a major issue or there would be a mutiny here on the Forum.
I know it's frustrating to deal with errors in your inventory, but consider
the bigger picture. There are 4,800 Dark Brown 3062 for sale on the site, but
the only problem was with your shop? The number and name were updated on Feb
1. No items were merged.

Take a breath and check your info again. I do hope you find the issue!

~Jen

LOL
Hello!
as you can see, I do have other things to do than working on/for Bricklink/Lego,
so I can't waste my time answering everyone..
But thanks for the very useful tips as to taking deep breaths LOL!

ANOTHER ISSUE / PROBLEM I just noticed in my inventory (both B, A, C!!) : personal
remarks for new items disappeared (between the 24th of February and.. yesterday.)
So, NO, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I DID WRONG ; PROOF ; These personal remarks are
STILL WRITTEN IN BRICKSTORE (in the bsx files I still have on my computer) !!


This is a message to help other sellers, who can't waste their time searching
uselessly for items...
I wish you a very nice day.
regards
Soon.
