| | Hi,
I have noticed a few of the HP dots have had the end of their name cut off, presumably
after "with groove" was removed. It's on quite a few of them.
This makes these ones unsearchable for example Deathly Hallows will not show
up because it is "Hall" instead.
Not sure if any other entries are like this I have just noticed on the dots as
I created them.

Just post here which ones need to be updated and I can fix them behind the scenes
very quickly. The one above has been fixed.

Thanks to the most diligent admin

Thank you. I have an amazing team of fellow admins to work worth, and this site
would not be the same without all of their hard work, too. Combined, the small
lot of us get a lot accomplished. I am just the one who happens to be around
right now.

I think it's actually called a prominence when it extends out from the sun
and is seen against the black of space. A friend of our family had a major setup
for the event and pretty much had that same exact image from his camera. So damn
cool.

It was spectacular!! Here in Central Ohio is was forecasted to be cloudy, but
it was not cloudy at all. Superb visibility, and viewed from our own backyard
with the kids, in the path of totality, just over 2 minutes of full eclipse.
Saw Bailey's beads, felt it become chilly, and birds stopped chirping. Also
saw Jupiter and Venus pop up during the totality, just phenomenal. My second
total eclipse (after Germany 1999).
|
It was definitely incredible here in Ohio! We were also predicted to have a somewhat
cloudy day, but it was absolutely beautiful out. Bright blue skies and just a
few scattered clouds. Not to mention that we finally had a rather nice warm day
to go with it, too!

Very nice for you and son, Randy. Hopefully he'll omit from memory your rendition
of that entirely unremarkable song, from what otherwise seemed an amazing moment
for you both.
|
Since him and I were singing it together, hugging each other, and looking at
the sky in unison, I think it is safe to say that both of us got exactly what
we wanted from the moment. But thanks for trying to dictate what him and I should
get from our lives. You are such a pox on this forum.

By the way, when submitting an inventory change request, you can use the "Change"
option to replace an undermined part with another part. Then you don't have
to enter the color and quantity. Just select "Change", enter the new
part number, and leave all other fields blank.
|
I’m a bit weird like that
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1405267
When making the requests it helps me make sure I’d didnt mess up/makes more sense
if I have a delete - add instead of a change

You did an awesome job, Jason. You managed to get a _ton_ of work done in a short
period of time. Although it was a rather simple undetermined entry to work on
(modern sets), the effort that you put into it is something that the catalog
team just doesn't have time for very much these days. I think I can speak
for the team when I say that all of it is greatly appreciated by us. We need
more contributors like you.

| | Everyone has a first LEGO set. weather it is a DUPLO train or a handmedown from
your older brother, every one has a memory of his or her first set. First LEGO
set was the 30013-1 Police Quad as a birthday present. I loved taking it apart
and putting it back together again and chasing invisible villains and bringing
them to justice! Then one day our dog got a hold of the police man and chewed
his head off.... Post your first LEGO set below!
|
I bought it for myself in the fall of 1998 when I was 23 years old.
I never had a single LEGO set growing up. But don't feel bad for me. The
toys I grew up with were Transformers (had almost every single character), He-Man
and the Masters of the Universe (had almost every single character), Hasbro Star
Wars (had almost all of the original figures, vehicles, and play sets), Micro
Machines, and yes... GoBots.

|
| In Catalog, SezaR writes:
| | Souce: sealed set (European version). It was 66gr (not 55gr that was a typo).
I note that the weight of Canadian box is about 10-11gr more. Checked this with
two copies of European box and two copies of Canadian box. Though, the size of
boxes are exactly the same and they look identical, besides the extra prints
on the Canadian box.
So
The weight of empty Canadian box: 28gr
The weight of empty European box: 18gr
The weight of Canadian complete set with box and instruction (and considering
1gr extra for a mini catalog): 76gr
The weight of European sealed set: 66gr
Please add these as additional note.
If time permits, I add photos of both boxes.
|
Almost every single set in the BrickLink catalog has different versions from
different regions with different packaging and different weights. It was decided
longggg ago that the site would not track this information and only display the
largest weights reported. Since you are reporting the data from a sealed European
version and not a sealed Canadian version, the European numbers will be used.
Therefore, I have updated the weight of the set to 66g and not added any additional
notes.
Cheers,
Randy

I got a lot of castle panels in which there were four red 4444 panels... It seems
that they doesn't exist at all but there is the lego logo on the three uper
studs as well as the ref number (4444) on the bottom of each part.
I found a 3D printing company which does them, but nothing else. Can somebody
lighten me about it? Are there companies printing lego replicas with lego's
group logo?!

I don't think either of your books are in the catalog in those exact versions,
so you will need to add them.

entry/entries and the contents of the pack be all three items, or is it to be
ignored and only 2 books and 2 figures ?

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.
Let me know if you need anything else, Stuart.

| | Should the box card be entered, if so, empty or with figures ?
If both then I’d have to add two entries and a content list for a card with figures.

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
and open studs, there's no talking about closed studs. 2 render pictures
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.

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

These are from 6073914.

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.

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

I don't believe a note is necessary since the items are already flagged.

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

How can an unreleased set from 2021 be "legendary"?

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.

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.

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.

And judging from the people who are receiving phishing emails (e.g I'm not),
the phisher is probably part of an online BrickLink group somewhere else (Facebook?

Actually, there are no instructions for this set, so the only thing that shows
stickers is the packaging and set images. On that packaging and in the set images,
it shows the small heart sticker with crown used on the bed, not the large heart
sticker with crown. Therefore, this part should be marked for deletion since
there is no basis for it having an entry. Basically, the stickers in this set
were meant to be used however the builder saw fit to use them.

Oh, there are two heart stickers? I didn't realize because the photo of the
sticker sheet is of an incomplete sheet with that large sticker missing. Thanks
for noticing.
/Jan
|
The sticker sheet should probably be marked for deletion.
How did a sheet missing stickers get past the admins?
|
There is no need to mark a sticker sheet entry for deletion unless it always
had more than one version listed under one entry and needs to be split. All of
the information necessary to list a sticker sheet properly is in the item name.
Some sticker sheets are not easy to get ahold of to get a new image, so the catalog
uses what image it can get. There have been a number of sticker sheets in the
catalog over time that did not have complete sticker sheets in the image or no
image at all, but quite a few have been replaced or added over time. Maybe one
day, this one will, too.

Randy

A person who just signed up to bricklink was unable to read the description for
item 5306bc069
Black Electric, Wire with Brick 2 x 2 x 2/3 Pair, 69 Studs
He said that since it's depicted as "PAIR" I should have sent two.
He left me a negative feedback and expected me to send a second for free.
I tried to explain that he was totally wrong and that you do not leave a hasty
feedback this way, to no avail.
So I wrote to BL for feedback removal, and they denied it.
The user wanted me to refund, so I asked him to send me the part, and I would
have refunded him.
He shipped, and in the proof of shipping I saw that he mispelled my surname,
thus when the package came, the postman found no one with the misspelled surname
and the package came back.
Now, when the package comes a second time I will:
- Have lost a lot of time behind this user, and money also.
- gained a negative feedback that is totally unfair and the administrarion refuses
to remove
Is this so easy for a newcomer to ruin the feedback ratio of a 14 years history

It isn't, which is why the guideline is contradictory in its own right. It
is a relic from the past that should probably be better defined at this point.
However, that is the current definition and the way it is currently interpreted

None.
If it is a glaring issue (e.g. used sold as new), I will ask for a refund.
If it is something simple (e.g. a missing part), I will just send a friendly
notice to the seller so that they can adjust their inventory accordingly. When
I do this, sellers have always been very appreciative.

for right wedges to match left wedges that did get included.
Notes:
-Yes, I have tried ordering fewer lots, but it seems you have to keep it under
20 lots in order to prevent most seller mistakes. Those smaller orders are usually
not cost effective for me after factoring in shipping costs.
-If you receive an order containing a printout with a hand-written check mark
next to each lot, consider favoriting that seller. Those sellers are rare and
almost never make mistakes.

Comments from Submitter:
The parts listed are all more commonly found in flat silver than they are in pearl light gray. It would be incredibly unlikely that the parts are more common in flat silver because of set 7179-1, where most appear as an alternate, because that set was a limited release and significantly less common than set 7168-1, as well as this part #64251 "Bionicle Fist with Axle Hole - 3 Fingers" is more commonly sold in Flat Silver than it is in pearl light gray. As that part did not appear in set 7179-1, it could not be from that set and must be an alternate from this one.

All of the pearl light gray pieces are well established as having come in the
first production run of this set, so all flat silver pieces are indeed alternates
for the later production run.

If it did, it would have most likely been a packing error since the color scheme
for this set uses exclusively pearl gold and not flat dark gold. The PCC in the

Part not used in build but listed in instruction inventory list. (Can be seen in the prototype build with the blocked gun tube.) ONLY 1 needs to be removed. Form won't let me.

After further research, the following parts were found to be included in this
set and are all shown on the official parts list in the original instructions
and included in the official piece count of the set:
1x
3x
1x
However, none of these pieces are actually needed to build the model according
to the instructions.
According to our inventory definitions, all of these parts should be located
in the Regular Items section:

| | Hi all,
I have discovered that the LEGO House Tile has 2 versions, see below.
Appeared in sets 40502, 40501, 4000010 and 21037, with PCC 6089148.
And it was updated to:
And this newer version appears in sets 40503, 40563, 40504 and 40505, with PCC
6320270.
Once the newer tile has been approved I will update the set inventories above
accordingly, and add a relationship between the 2 tiles.
I have put in a request for the version currently in the catalogue to change
it's name and remove it's second PCC.
Any questions just let me know!
Thanks,
Josh

Good catch, Josh! 👍
This tile will definitely need a proper split so that the items in stores can
be relocated to proper catalog entries. If we just renamed the current one, then
a lot of items under that entry would be wrong. Give us a bit to get to this.
Cheers,
Randy

| | Good afternoon everyone,
Quite new with all the catalog requests:
I added three new rare pieces I would like to sell. It's been quite a while
now and nothing has happened.
Is there a way to ask someone kindly to proceed with the upload?
I cannot sell these beautiful cloth patches until someone uploaded the items.
Greetings.

Patience, young padawan.
We have mountains of work to do and not enough time to do it all, so things that
are not as important get inevitably pushed to a lower priority status. Gear items
that are rare and unlikely to have much effect in the marketplace are in those
lower tiers of priority, unfortunately. Therefore, it might be a little while
before we get to them still, but they will be gotten to.
Thanks for your understanding.
Cheers,

Comments from Submitter:
My own set, not mixed with other sets. Pearl Light Gray 4497 spear, Flat Silver 3847 sword.
|
Information for the future, if necessary:
(1) Although 32064b in DBG was still hanging around in 2009 (it's last year),
I could find no evidence of 32064b ever coming in this book. Therefore, I have
removed 32064b from the inventory and placed 32064 in the Regular Items section.
(2) I could find no evidence that 4589 without the top groove ever came in this
book, and I highly doubt it ever did. Therefore, I have removed 4589 from the
inventory and placed 4589b in the Regular Items section.
(3) Evidence was found for both versions of 6126, so those can remain as is.
(4) Evidence was found for the spear and sword in pearl light gray. Prior change
requests in the past had proven the existence of the parts in flat silver.

I am sorry to say that we will not accept change requests based on store display
models. There is no proof that store display models are constructed using the
same batch of parts used to assemble the sets in the plant.

Per the LEGO instruction manual, there are 5 pieces included in the box. However, one piece is used to make minifigure sw1252, so there are only 4 pieces spare to part-out.

I cannot find any evidence that shows there would be only a quantity of five
used in the set. In all online instruction manuals and all video reviews of the
set that I have watched, all six can clearly be seen to be used (four on the
solar panels, one behind the tile shooters, and one on the GNK droid).
The official LEGO inventory data also shows a quantity of six included with the
set.
