Note how the animals are well hidden on the picture.
Why would you hide precious parts to better show bricks?

And it's New, but opened and still partly assembled.
Much more the title is "Lego Duplo Set like 2445": like?

Hello everyone,

I thought it would be good to give people an update on the variant project. As
of now, everything we announced would change in this post:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1454437

has been completed, EXCEPT the decorated minifigure heads and new Help pages.

Link for the overview:

Scheduled completion date is still the end of May.

I didn't realize 32064b was on the chopping block.

Wasn't there that whole controversy with that guy who claimed to have used
it in a "moc on top of a stud so therefore it was useful" even though
it cannot fit on top of a stud

32064b could go on a hollow stud. I would have spoken up on it, but I didn't
realize it was on the block.

We definitely could have talked about it on the catalog panel if the catalog
panel had EVER been consulted about this.

There went a double handful of my catalog work and all the give-a-darn that I
had stockpiled. I think I'll go touch grass and see if it is everything
people talk it up to be.

This minifigure seems fine after touching it

I brought some in and set it on my desk. I really don't know what all the
fuss is about. It's like a long skinny leaf?

Essentially. The only things is it makes white parts stain green

Or is another kind of 3001 brick that I can't find?
Thanks in advance for your help!

3001special.

3001old was never made in this color.

Older test bricks were made in molds that were previously used for regular production.
The test bricks with letters and other markings are more recent.

Hi, sorry to dig up an old thread, but the blue iridescent one I have is definitely
not Bright Light Blue, the coating is put on a Medium Blue brick. All pics I
can find seem to be Medium Blue as well, they do not get brighter or lighter
by the coating.

I propose a name change for this gear (Key Chain 853993)
from
2 x 4 Brick - Bright Light Blue with Iridescent Coating Key Chain
to
2 x 4 Brick - Medium Blue with Iridescent Coating Key Chain

I agree. It is definitely darker than Sweet Mayhem's hair piece which really

If that part ever appeared in a set, then it would need to be added to the set

However, I think it is just the print from

30119pb01 Wing Plate Bi-level 8 x 4 and 2 x 3 1/3 Down with Silver/Orange/Black UFO Logo Pattern

printed on the wrong part.

In that case, the part should probably not even be in the catalog.

You can add this item to the catalog with your image and after it's approved
you can add it to the set inventory.

Hello again everyone,

This is my official response to the video from R.R. Slugger concerning the merging
of part variants in the BrickLink catalog:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGRxNX8Cg_o&t=1s

Here is an initial response to the video, specifically regarding the set inventory
for the Core Magnetizer:

6989-1 (Inv) Mega Core Magnetizer / Multi Core Magnetizer
473 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 1990
Sets: Space: M:Tron

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1450164

Here is today's response:

*************************************

I’ll start with a couple points I actually agree with Slugger on:

1) BrickLink certainly is an invaluable tool, and one of the things that has
motivated me to invest in the catalog over the years, long before I became a
community admin or started working in the BrickLink office, was knowing that
whatever corrections or additions I would make would instantly circle the globe
and potentially benefit thousands of fans everywhere.

2) Regarding the suggestion to double down on accuracy – that is actually what
we’re doing, if you look at the big picture. I remember discussing with one of
the authors of the LEGO Collector books that came out a few years ago:

810003 Collector's Guide - 50 Years of Play 1st Edition
Books: Informational Book

9783935976640 Collector's Guide 2nd Edition
Books: Informational Book

and one of the points we discussed was why certain things weren’t included in
a publication that was so comprehensive. The answer was that if a particular
data field didn’t have at least 80% of the data, then there were questions raised
as to how useful that field would be.

Of course this case does not cover all of the changes being made to the BrickLink
catalog, but it does pertain to some of them. The smooth slopes and frosted bricks,
even after 20 years of accepting data from the community, have a very weak connection
to our inventory system. Many of the parts are not represented even a single
time, and of those that are represented, there are serious questions as to the
accuracy of the inventory change requests.

The biggest obstacle in separating variants on BrickLink, especially the older
ones, is lack of real data. So the question comes up, should we have entries
on BrickLink that can’t or never will be represented sufficiently in the inventory
system?

Being orphaned or partially orphaned from the system is a bad thing, and our
stance on that is one of the things that has really changed since Dan built the
inventory system in the early 2000s. It used to be acceptable to have entries
floating around just for buying and selling, but over time we have realized the
power of our inventory system, to the extent that we now use artificial inventories
to represent certain parts (like BAM parts):

bam2023-1 (Inv) Build-a-Minifigure (BAM) 2023 Parts
39 Parts, 2023
Sets: LEGO Brand: LEGO Brand Store: Build-A-Minifigure
Marked for Deletion

By removing some of these variants, the accuracy and inclusiveness of the inventory
system goes up, and that is the primary driving force behind these current changes.
Why not just fill out the data instead of consolidating entries? Because we simply
do not have the data, and if we did, we couldn’t handle it all anyway. There
is no way we can add thousands of new minifigure inventories to the system simply
to accommodate different types of studs.

Next I’d like to give an actual example or something that WILL be lost in
the transition.

Slugger is right – just because the example he gave may not have been the perfect
example, it doesn’t negate the point that something will be lost. So here goes:

Set 7171 from 1999 (Mos Espa Podrace):

7171-1 (Inv) Mos Espa Podrace
831 Parts, 10 Minifigures, 1999
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 1

is one of the celebrated early Star Wars sets and as such we may consider it
to be at the pinnacle of collector interest. In that set is a yellow dome with
a “blocked open stud” which is part no. 30151a:

[p=30151a,3]

The next version of that part by all accounts was introduced around 2010,
[p=30151b]

and by that time, the Mos Espa Podrace had long been retired. So we can say with
reasonable certainty that this set came originally with domes with blocked open
studs. If you see a copy of the set sitting on someone’s shelf and the domes
on Anakin’s podracer have hollow studs (no little Mercedes symbol), that is a
sure sign that the parts, and maybe even the whole set, is not original.

So if the BrickLink catalog stops distinguishing the “a” from the “b” version,
someone might build it wrong and wouldn’t even know it! However, as a quiz question
for savvy readers, why would this scenario never actually happen in the real
world? What do we know about these the 30151 variants that puts this problem
completely into the realm of the hypothetical?

Next example, set 4778-1 from 2005 (Desert Biplane):

4778-1 (Inv) Desert Biplane
104 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2005
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Airport

This is not Star Wars buts it’s still a classic in my book. There is a different
kind of dome on the front of this plane (553), but it has the same issues as
the previously mentioned dome part.

[p=553b,5]

This set is from 2005, so it’s not likely that it ever came with the “c” variant.
The 2008 appearance is in the first UCS Death Star which had a really long production
run and has over 50 lines of variants in the BrickLink inventory:

10188-1 (Inv) Death Star - UCS
3696 Parts, 24 Minifigures, 2008
Sets: Star Wars: Ultimate Collector Series: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

But if this little set were produced up through 2010, there might be a real possibility
of seeing one with a “c” variant.
[p=553c,5]

So with the current merges, this is data that would be lost. People wouldn’t
know about the stud variants, and someone could get any of 3 different stud types
– blocked open, hollow, or even vented. All three exist in red.

[p=3262,5]

Next up is set 6745-1 from 2009 (Propeller Power).

6745-1 (Inv) Propeller Power
247 Parts, 2009
Sets: Creator: Model: Airport

This also has a red 533 on the nose of the plane, but here the inventory system
says it could have either the “b” or “c” variant. Check the change log to see
if you recognize any of the people who added these variants to the set:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=6745-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1

We’re pretty sure this came with both “b” and “c” types. It didn’t come with
a vented stud, and someone might mistakenly put one on this model if BrickLink
doesn’t educate them about it, right? That is the premise on why we need these
variants in the catalog, correct?

The thing is, how can we tolerate the difference of stud type in this model,
and not in other models where it is historically incorrect? In this plane model
from 2009, both are correct, so what does that say about the mixing of variants
in other models?

True collectors know that there actually is no replacement part that will ever
perfectly replace a part that is lost. The only truly correct part is the part
the set originally came with. It’s nice to get as close as possible to a correct
replacement part, but it’s a futile attempt.

So I will admit that something is lost in the catalog by harmonizing all the
hollow studs types. But the second message is that whatever is lost is quite
unimportant in relation to the effort it takes for the BrickLink community to
recognize these variants.

We weighed it up, and decided that stud types are not important enough. They
have some importance, and there are some workarounds available for the people
who really want to go down that path. But overall, what we seem to be losing
is less than what we believe we are gaining.

**************************************

One more detail about the video – in navigating around the BrickLink catalog,
I noticed Slugger used the new inventory tab on the catalog page instead of the
proper inventory page accessible by the link at the top of the page.

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=6989-1

There are multiple problems with this version of the inventory. First, there
is no link to the change log, which for specialists is a must. Reading the change
log lets you determine the accuracy of the data you are consuming.

Second, the match IDs do not line up with the inventory notes, so any mention,
for example, of “match ID 99” (which is critical to understanding variant inventories)
doesn’t make any sense.

Indispensable

Some of my colleagues were surprised to see such a strong reaction from our users
on this topic. But the fact is, variants are an indispensable feature of the
BrickLink catalog and they are one of the main reasons for the “sealed set” standard
we maintain for new inventories. Keeping this standard comes at a cost, and it’s
important for people to know that all of this work and energy is appreciated.

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1103

BrickLink is not descending into a parts oblivion where nothing is distinguished.
I made that very clear from the very first announcement. This is simply a mid-way
correction to enable us to do better at what we already do. I trust that over
the coming months and years you will come around to believing me on that point.

4190 Arch 2 x 2 Inverted Corner with Recessed Stud
Parts: Arch {Dark Bluish Gray}

and

73682 Arch 3 x 3 Inverted Corner with Raised Hollow Stud
Parts: Arch {Black}

The definition of an arch according to the Oxford dictionary is:

a curved symmetrical structure spanning an opening and typically supporting
the weight of a bridge, roof, or wall above it.

Neither of those parts fulfil that description. They do not span an opening.
They maybe help to raise an adjoining element.

This becomes more obvious if you look at the 39 parts that are now categorized
as Arch.
There are exactly two parts that don't look like any other part in this category,
the other 37 parts do.
See picture below or this link: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=6

I strongly suggest to undo the movement since it is not at all logical, not following
the definition of an arch and certainly doesn't a help a user to search for
an item like 4190 or 73682.

My suggestion is to move these items to Plate, Modified or Tile, Modified.

In fairness to Thomas, I added the pic just after and in response to his query.

Hi

thanks for adding
I was going to take a picture of my set but you beat me to it.😉

It's a known fact that folks with cats are always a step behind those without

Hi

That's right

Unfortunately, I have to announce that my 19 year old cat passed away last month

(that one in the profile photo)

Stefaan

Sorry about the loss of your friend. Sad to hear. Nineteen years old! Long life
for the cat. Though, unjustly short it must seem to you.

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.

The sticker sheets I have appear to be a mixture of both volume and weight bound.
The majority of the volume bound ones have dimensions, but not all.

Ideally, these probably all should be volume bound. Or at least the larger ones
that might get creased more easily and/or not fit in a regular bubble mailer.

All my orders ship in a box.

I set all my stickers' package type to Weight and that works for me.

When someone changes it to Volume Band (without dimensions) it disables Instant
Checkout, which is annoying.

I'm not sure why someone would that? It should be at store's discretion,
right?

Volume bound for any parts with large dimensions makes sense to me, and it should
probably be consistent. Individual items are always at the store's discretion
as you can set them manually to weight or volume bound.

For some years now, whenever I add a sticker to my Inventory I set Package Type
manually to Weight, and then when someone change it to Volume Bound it changes
my initial setting.

It shouldn't, should it?

I think it shouldn't, report the behavior here please:

https://www.bricklink.com/helpDesk.asp?helpDeskID=114

Of course, if the dimensions
are entered then the IC issue goes away.

Fundamentally agree. I assume that means a "new" 88009 would come in
some sort of box? There is an entry for it but no photo or sales history.

Just one came in it's on bag

Well now, see, you're inspiring me to start something to counter the getting

How could you not love them

I'd enjoy some better pics if you'v got them?

Catisfactions... maybe you've got this kind of treat for cats under a different
name?
They're crazy about them - various flavors, here's duck:

We sometimes sing them "I can't get no Catisfactions..."
I guess they don't get the reference

Ah! Okay, a brand name.

Dogs are pretty cool!

So much more than that... As intelligent as you seem to me, study your anthropology

Doge particularly!

Sorry, you've lost me nubs; the chief magistrate of Genoa? Are we onto Venetian
topics now?

Doge was a meme dog a while back. very popular at the time, tho now the name
is mostly used for a meme coin

Okay, I get it now.

Hope you forgive my ignorance, my young friend

I'm somewhat culturally
slowed by the old-school worldly baggage I'm carrying into retirement

-popsicle

no worries

it goes the other way also as when you mentioned "the chief
magistrate of Genoa? Are we onto Venetian topics now?" I was just as confused
