Comments from Submitter:
Just opened a sealed copy and there where 3 extras.


I think you got lucky.

I watched multiple unboxing and build videos of the set and compared them all
to the current inventory which was also compiled from a sealed set. All of them
only showed two extra treads. Since most people part out sets blindly with the
extra pieces included, it is best to keep the inventory as is for the most common
case.

Therefore, I have decided not to accept this change.

Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:
just built this set and the BL inventory says there are 2 x 3245cpb187 and 2 x 3245bpb23. These are actually mould variations and there are only 2 of one or the other, not both. The other two 1 x 2 x 2 red bricks do not have stickers.


This request will not be accepted.

It is correct that there are four red 1x2x2 bricks in the set and that two of
them use stickers. However, since the four red 1x2x2 bricks in the set can be
either of two variants (3245b or 3245c), then the two of them that use stickers
can be either of two variants (3245b or 3245c). The Counterparts area shows that
both variants of the bricks with stickers can be found in any given used set.

Cheers,
Randy

Wouldn't the two 3245cpb187 stickered bricks go in the alternate section?
Thats where they put the 4 3245c bricks. I accidently said "delete" but
meant "moved to alternate". Sorry for the confusion.


Counterparts never go in the Alternate Items section. The Counterparts section
does not always have a one-to-one correspondence to parts in the Regular Items
section. It is basically a dumping ground for catalog items that may be found
in any used example of the set.

Cheers,
Randy

That's what the change log shows. Sloppy copy and pasting.

No, the public form cuts off at 150 characters. The full name is pasted into
the form, straight from the list of downloaded item names.

Once the project is done, we will check all item names for this cuttoff and repair
them. Between now and then, if you see issues, feel free to correct them.

Here are the remaining parts with names cut off - see the letters in red.

Finshed. Please let me know if you see others.

Since these requests were already accepted by someone else, the inventory will
need to be updated once more.

I should not do catalog work from my mobile phone.

The extra part is correct, though:

I had found evidence already that the extras were correct. I just wanted to give
the OP the chance to add them.

Comments from Submitter:
This set cannot be built with 48002b. It must have the '+' orientation, so I am moving 48002a to the Regular Items section. The inclusion of 48002b in the inventory is most likely an error.

  So either the kid who this collection came from is unusually strong or LEGO is
having some serious quality control issues. I've found more broken parts
in this lot than I've ever seen before. I've got plates and bricks from
30+ years ago that have held up better than these parts from under 7 years ago.

Anyone else seeing an increase in damaged parts from newer bulk used purchases?


Completely common in the modern era, unfortunately.

  Hi everybody
I want to enter this part Window 1 x 4 x 5 with Hollow Studs Item No: 2493b
in my collection but the color I have does not exist. My part is black. I don't
know which set it comes from but I saw on https://rebrickable.com/home/ that
there are at least 9 sets in which it takes place in black. How can I do ?
Thanks.


It most likely comes from one or more of the following sets:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=2493&colorID=11&in=A

that currently contains
 
Part No: 2493  Name: Window 1 x 4 x 5 (Undetermined Type)
* 
2493 Window 1 x 4 x 5 (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Window {Black}

When someone can prove definitively that any of those sets came with the hollow-stud
version of the window, then we can update the inventories to show that. This
will then trigger the color "Black" to show up on the catalog page for
 
Part No: 2493b  Name: Window 1 x 4 x 5 with Hollow Studs
* 
2493b Window 1 x 4 x 5 with Hollow Studs
Parts: Window

Cheers,
Randy

Could we maybe start giving Legs a bit more descriptive names?


These days, almost everything gets a very descriptive name, but that was not
always the case. Having said that, everyone is free to submit name change requests
on anything that they find lacking in description, and that has always been the
case.

  Sorry if I have missed something, but who and why is changing Stickers Package
Type from Weight To Volume Bound thus making Instant Checkout unavailable?

Thank you.


All paper items in the catalog should be set to Volume Bound according to our
guidelines. Any new sticker sheets, cardboard items, etc. added to the catalog
get set to Volume Bound from the beginning, but ones that we come across in our
travels through the catalog that need to get updated get updated. To solve your
issue, you have a couple of choices. You can change them in your personal store
settings to "Weight Bound"

In this last batch of 100+ stickers whose package types were changed to Volume
Bound, many, if not most, of them, I had already set them manually to Weight
Bound in my store. Usually, as soon as I add them to my inventory.

Not something you have control over but I don't think these changes should
override my initial settings.


You are right. They definitely should not override your initial settings. If
they do, then that is another "feature" that should be addressed.


  
  or you can add the packing dimensions of the
sticker sheets causing the issues to the catalog.

Cheers,
Randy

  Sorry if I have missed something, but who and why is changing Stickers Package
Type from Weight To Volume Bound thus making Instant Checkout unavailable?

Thank you.


All paper items in the catalog should be set to Volume Bound according to our
guidelines. Any new sticker sheets, cardboard items, etc. added to the catalog
get set to Volume Bound from the beginning, but ones that we come across in our
travels through the catalog that need to get updated get updated. To solve your
issue, you have a couple of choices. You can change them in your personal store
settings to "Weight Bound" or you can add the packing dimensions of the
sticker sheets causing the issues to the catalog.

Cheers,
Randy

into one entry, with diffent colour options.

Reason, all item are the same, only difference is colour.

I'm not 100% confident with this one, for the images don't show all sides,
so there could be differences the images don't show. Like these are different
also (different on the BL images that is).

[g=LG11007]
I found images online though, which do look the same as the other 3. So the BrickLink
image could be a render from a catalog or website and not represent the actual
item.

And then those will be left to merge just because of black instead of white printing.
[g=N10746]
[g=LG11012]


You already merged the pocket photo albums that had different printing colors,
so I don't know what the difference would be here.


  I didn't have time to look for more differences.

Although I appreciate it very much that you are looking into this, I would also
appreciate it if you would wait with more requests like these. We already know
that there are more items that can be merged for the same reason, but doing that
takes a lot of time.

The actual merge doesn't take much time.

But before we can merge we have to check if they are indeed 100% the same (except
for the color), then save all info and images of the items that are going to
be merged. All wanted lists and items for sale have to be updated.

And after the merge all this info and images have to be added manually.
So it's not just pressing a button

  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.

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.

Maybe that’s because your always working


Just on the same continent as you. All of the other admins are in Europe and
hopefully sleeping right now.
