Ignore that part. It is just packaging material. The inventory will be the two
books and two figures. 👍
I have gone ahead and zeroed out the inventory of the box set so that you can
enter it from scratch from "Sealed Set Contents" once we get everything
in place.

The catalog image is just a standard marketing render, so it does not look like
the actual item. If yours has the same ISBN (9781409382478), then that is the
right entry. The inventory of the box set is also incomplete.

This is the catalgue I'm refering to lol. They only talks about hollow studs

can be a closed stud but is only a guess as the angle doesn't help. Even
the 3D image shows a y hollow stud. This is the reason why I'm asking it
as there's no showing clearly or talking clearly of a closed stud version....

See the image for BrickLink stud types minus "Open Stud".
"Blocked Open Stud" and "Vented Stud" are no longer recognized
as of last month and were combined with "Hollow Stud".
Going forward, there will be only three stud types recognized on BrickLink: "Solid
Stud", "Open Stud", and "Hollow Stud".

The set this minifig comes from seems to have had 2 releases, one with Metallic Copper axes and dwarf helmet (on this minifig) and the other with reddish brown axes and helmet. The axes are catalogued in the Alternate Items section but the helmet isn't.
I have been rebuilding some of my older sets and I only have a reddish brown helmet which could only come from this set, and the axes being in 2 different colour seems to confirm this theory.

A new minifigure with the alternate helmet would need to be added to the catalog
to take care of this since minifigure inventories cannot have alternates.

Epic! It will very nice for the reddish brown version of that helmet to finally
have a source! I’ve seen it so many times wondering where it’s from 
|
Well, it is fairly easy to know where it is from. It is the base part underneath
the metallic copper coating.

All of these things were placeholders and had not been fully integrated yet.

The parts list on the building instructions list the 3665 item No. And then the build uses said part.

Do you have different instructions? Can you post an image and/or tell us the
7 digit number?
These are from 6073914.
~Jen

I used the building instructions from LEGO. The BI have the 366501.
Also when you look at the picture of the build set, you can see the 366501 part.
|
Sorry, I failed to specify that I was referencing the 7 digit code for the instructions.
I checked on LEGO.com and it looks like that version is 6073915. So, it seems
these parts would need to be considered as Alternates.
~Jen
|
Only if a set actually ever came with them.
6073914 is the international print of the instructions.
6073915 is the North American print of the instructions.
These instructions came out at the same time and have never been updated.
Also, you can tell from the rendered set image that the parts are shown as 3665,
so it is very likely that the set was designed with the smaller slopes (done
long before production) and then always produced with the larger slopes.
I have the North American version and verified it with a sealed set. I will have
to see if I can find my set and check the instructions again.

Our policy is that we do not accept them into the catalog. Easy peasy.

That would be a very short sighted approach since if the printing is being carried
out by Lego themselves then there should be no reason not to embrace them by
listing as a custom Item.
Any suspicious print designs can be verified checked with what is officially
available on the Lego site. Unofficial print designs are likely to be centered
around attempting to replicate designs from popular characters/themes and so
shouldn't be hard to spot anyway!

I didn't say anything about not allowing them to be sold as custom items.
I said they will not be accepted into the catalog. That is two very different

Well, that goes for many of us here, but we don't own the site or make the

My question is, why is TLG so picky?
|
Because they have a brand image to uphold. If you owned a large, international,
billion-dollar company, you might understand.

put one up for sale?!?

Have you seen the BrickLink catalog? There is so much stuff here that is not
cataloged anywhere else. Over the 24 years that this site has existed, I would
say that almost anything that any user has had has found its way into the catalog
somehow. And we still get rare and old stuff submitted all of the time. If any
of these sets actually existed, they would have most likely turned up by now.
And like Jonas said, if they do turn up, all they have to do is send a message
or make a request like everyone else who wants to contribute.

Ok, but could you put a note on the items stating, that if you have one to contact
the admins?

the unreleased items (we can neither change the wording nor the listing policy),
I have moved this thread to "General".

I do have a set to be added to the unreleased catagoy though.

The legendary 60278 Crook's Hideout Raid.
Better known as "the dynamite factory"

I have had prototype parts that I actually have in-hand rejected from the BrickLink

That is correct. The ones there are grandfathered in, but things are very different
now that the LEGO Group owns BrickLink.

No. They are just undecorated versions of items that were released. They definitely
exist, because they have to exist as a plain part first before being printed.
And some are just test run colors to test molds.

Bought the set new from LEGO in 2011 and my part inventory only has the jumpers without grooves for this color. Included possible alt pieces for used sets.

We only add alternates to sets when those pieces actually came in a new set.
Since there is no proof that the others ever came in the set, they will not be
included in the inventory.

I know it was to phish my seller info as often as the pattern was repeated exactly.
But even messages we reply to can do this as the system still lonks our email
to those. It really should not do this unless an order is placed, or even confirmed
as paid by the system (instant or seller marked). Simply put, contact info should
remain better protected until a transaction is deemed legit. BL is largely an
open book for all seller info if the party wanting to phish it knows how the
site works.

Is there any need at all for buyers/sellers to see each other's email contact
info even on legitimate orders? Maybe I've been using instant checkout and
the pay now button for so long I have forgotton, but it has been a while since
a buyer has made a payment directly to my email address. Since BrickLink implemented
sales tax collection, all (at least all of my) payments are negotiated through
PayPal Marketplace.
Maybe other payment methods require an email address.
I know some people send photos via email (if only we could attach photos to a
BL message!).
I'd be perfectly happy to have "public-facing email address" be an
option that I can enable/disable at will.
|
You have some very good points here. The whole communication architecture on
BrickLink is definitely in need of some upgrades. They may want to start looking
into it sooner rather than later.
For example, every transaction I have on eBay has everything done through the
eBay platform. There is never any communication outside of the platform between
myself and anyone that I purchase something from. In that way, the user on the
other end remains completely anonymous. It would be a good model to look into.

All of it started fairly shortly after all of the extremely unpopular part merges

Interesting theory. But the scammers that caused the November 3 incident are
the same ones that caused the problems last night, and the variant merge project
was not exposed to the public before January 2024.
As much as companies tend not to boast about the number of online attacks they
receive, we do see a remarkable increase in scammer activity across the board
- throughout many companies and across different industries. To us, it does not
feel like BrickLink is being singled out.
|
Good to know. Let's just hope that our beloved BrickLink can make it through
largely unscathed. I am sure I am not the only one that doesn't want a repeat
of November 2023 to happen, but everytime someone falls for one of these things,
we get closer to that happening again. I do feel bad for those getting targeted,
but people need to be cautious.
