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

Was looking through the list of gear not yet inventoried, and saw a catagory
titled "puzzle".

The thought immediately entered my mind, "Should I inventory it?"

Hmm this will be easy.

Would it be right to inventory a puzzle?

Pro, when you are missing a peice just buy it.

Con, think of the work!!

Should I try to do it?

Hi,

few years ago I've added few hundreds of qpart (prototype) colors to the
database. sadly I've had a fake counterpart in my collection.
The blue Emmet part id 15443 is fake.
As some know area 2018 6-7 types of headgears and hairs popped up in 5 similar
colors , all with same partnr 95222 inside. With the lego logo and copyright.
I never checked then the partnr, as it had a logo, but the color blue was a bit
off color, also more friction then other hairs.

So I like to request to delete this counterpart from the data list and send my
apologies. 30€ wasted :o

Hello, this is my first time posting to the inventories forum. I recently purchased
a used, incomplete copy of 7317 online (not Bricklink). This set is known for
having a revision where 4 of the instances of part 30585a were replaced with
part 30585b, with the longer connection point for the pneumatic tubes. The revision
also replaces a 2x4 brick with 2 2x2 inverted slopes.

The copy I purchased reflected this revision-- however, all 13 of
the tube joiners were the longer 30585b variant. As this "parts lot"
additionally included a complete 7314 the seller wasn't aware of, with the
rubber bands still in their original bag, as well as the instructions and box
for 7317, I'm inclined to believe this is a genuine variant from an extremely
casual, not very knowledgeable fan and clearly not someone who went to Bricklink
just to buy 9 more of the 30585b variant to swap in to the set for some reason.
I was wondering if anyone else had noticed the same with their copy, though I
understand given this was a used copy it may not meet Bricklink's requirements
to be cataloged as a third version of the set.

Part No: 4502  Name: Minifigure, Plume / Feather Wheel, 3 on Sprue
* 
4502 (Inv) Minifigure, Plume / Feather Wheel, 3 on Sprue
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Accessory {Yellow}

Certain sets only use one or two of the plume feathers from that wheel. But even
if only one is used, the other two are also listed on the regular items.

On this page https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562#regularItems in the
section "Additional Information About Regular Items" it says:
Parts on Sprues - Complete sprues are included in this section unless some
parts from the sprues are used in minifigures. In that case, the parts from the
sprues that are not used in minifigures are included in this section.


Now my question is: Why?

Example given: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=6274-1
 
Part No: 4502a  Name: Minifigure, Plume Feather Small
* 
4502a Minifigure, Plume Feather Small
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Accessory {Yellow}
and
 
Part No: 4502c  Name: Minifigure, Plume Feather Large
* 
4502c Minifigure, Plume Feather Large
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Accessory {Yellow}
are not used anywhere on the Caribbean Clipper. There
is no official parts list of this set. But still both pieces are listed as Regular
Items on BrickLink. In this particular case the price for the complete set is
increased by approximately $10 just because these two unused parts are listed
as regular parts.

I suggest to change the Brickink definition of regular items and move those parts
from Regular Items to Extra Items.

Who is with me?

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

Hi all
How do you find out which parts for a set you have in your inventory without
going through everything?
My daughter found a part she likes and I told her if I have all parts we can
build it

Many thanks

Hi


I was upload an inventory of a part and reached the "note to inventories
admin" box and did not understand what I should include in that message.
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

Why is Mack not considered a minifigure? I do not see a difference
between Mack or Lightning other than size and well yes Mack has a trailer but
in the movies he is a character. So why the difference?

Hi,
I've created my first inventory submission for the new set 76275.
I can't find how to add the 2 minifigures (including sh946 whose submission
is pending approval) to set inventory ?
I try to add it using the form under the inventory, but wether I try the new
sh946 or the existing sh684, none is found...

Thanks for your help by advance.
