Which parts have been on a PAB wall that have not been released? The BAM minifig
parts get catalogued and I cannot remember any examples of parts from PAB walls
that have never been released. Even if there were other legitimate routes for
other unreleased parts, it doesn’t mean all unreleased parts should be allowed

I believe a lot of Warm Yellowish Orange parts were recently released at the
Florida LEGOLAND PAB? They definitely were never released in anything else, and
they were most likely old product from the model shop that had been sitting around
for almost 20 years. There have been lots of legitimate ways over the course
of LEGO history to obtain many rare and unique items.

The part was actually a genuine lego part, listed in the correct color. Only
was it never released in an official set, so it does not show up in the color

this type of parts could be obtained in a legal way from a pick a brick wall.

| | Hello, this has been bothering me for a while now, but several of the mask packs
listed either do not exist at all, or are listed with the wrong region.
For starters, the US/non-US distinction -- having spoken with several Canadian
BIONICLE fans about these, Canada had the boxed versions as well. Additionally,
LEGO's naming scheme uses the distinguishment of "IN" and "AM",
rather than "NA" or "US", which leads me to believe that they
were available in both South and North America.
Considering that Connecticut became HQ for LEGO's activities in all of America
around 1998, this also tracks: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/history/articles/g-production-in-brazil/
Further-more, I have found no evidence of 8530, 8559, 8597, or 8600 existing
in boxed form. Just Google them, there are no photos of them - because they do
not exist.

| | Hello!
I noticed that some sets like the Daily Bugle (76178-1) list the Doc Ock figure
with the arms included, but the one from the Monster Truck set (76174-1) didn't.
Could it be at least included as an alternate to the minifigure alone? It makes
more sense to me for the figure to be offered both with and without the mechanical
arms, but the listings including these are inconsistent.
Thanks for the consideration and any feedback about the situation.

Our current catalog guidelines for minifigures make the condition of handheld
items being added to the minifigure in the instructions the finishing point of
the minifigure build. So, for Doc Ock from
the figure is considered complete on page 5 before the arms are built and added
on the subsequent pages.

No. I cannot find a single other instance of this set being in a yellow bucket.
Every one I can find is in the green bucket that says 70 pieces included and
has the image of 2332c01 assembled. Yours seems to be a later production run
when they started to separate these parts. The inventory is best left as is since
it is seems to be the much more common version.

Yes.
| | At the moment you have 18938 and 88738 as alternate numbers for the same part,
and 48168 as a mold variant. How anyone could have entered a 60 tooth gear as
mold variant of a 56 tooth gear is a question for another day...
From what I can see the mold variant link should be removed - Z56 and Z60 are
different.
The alternate number link should also be removed, and the descriptions of the
part should be updated to reflect the bevel teeth on one of them.
Or does all this fall in your recent program of dumbing down the database...

That had nothing to do with the catalog administrators.

I do not have enough words to express my frustration about this.
There is no ticket system, no ticket reference, not even an option to see the
ticket I logged, no option to follow up. Just absolutely nothing, and this place
is owned by Lego.
Baffling is an understatement.
How do I get a reply from bricklink?

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Help is on the way.

There is plenty of easily found video evidence to support the 'b' variant
of the jumper, so that one is okay.
And here is proof of the 'a' variant of the jumper:

Maybe if all sellers send them emails, they will at least communicate SOMETHING
about the situation. It is really poor business practice to have this problem
continuing for so long when you have sellers paying fees every month.

You would think the would get more staffing and more updated platform since some
of us spend over $600 a month for this service.

Variants have to be proven with sealed set contents or sets that were previously

As you can see in the item pic the hollow stud variant can be see for both parts. Also if you look at a different image from brick set you can also the the hollow stud. Unfortunately there are no videos that I could find on this set.

I propose a name change for this gear (Key Chain 853993)

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
is Bright Light Blue. I have updated the item name.

That isn't how it works. That is the undetermined entry and has the picture
that it had when we realized it needed to be split. That picture is almost certainly
not from one of the foil packs.
I have the foil packs in a shopping cart and I am waiting for my sales tax waiver
to be approved.
|
So, does that mean you are going to fix it?
|
Now I don't understand why they'd fix an obsolete entry to be deleted.
Again: "This catalog entry is obsolete and will be marked for deletion
once it is removed from all inventories."
Also, I'm sure there are more actual valid entries to fix if they've
got some time
|
There is nothing to fix for
The two current set inventories containing it need to be checked to see if they
should actually have
or
Once those two set inventories are checked and dp095 is removed from them in
favor of dp095a or dp095b, then dp095 will be marked for deletion.
Hope that clears it up.

| | I sold what I had listed as 825068 LED Key Light Darth Vader Key Chain (LEDLITE)
- Boxed Version today but the ones I have are actually a tagged version LGL-KE7T.
The tagged version in the catalogue is LGL-KE7H. I'm waiting to hear back
from the buyer to see if they still want it.
The catalogue says the tagged version was released in 2020 but I've had mine
since 2011. Does anyone know of a name change and if "boxed version"
was added to the name at some point? I listed them too long ago to remember what
the name of the item was at the time.
|
had its name changed from "Mini Torch Minifig Flashlight Key Chain Darth
Vader" to "LED Key Light Darth Vader Key Chain (LEDLITE) - Boxed Version"
in 2013, and the images of the boxes were added after the original entry. Therefore,
it is highly possible that this entry was originally for the tagged version of
the key chain from 2011 that you have and then later inappropriately redefined
to be the boxed version. When the updated tagged version came along in 2020,
it only made sense to add it as the tagged version then because the other one
had stated "Boxed Version" for so long.
I think you did the right thing by reaching out to the buyer.

tag with instructions on how to replace the batteries. That tag says z11175 v1,
8/02/11.

If that part ever appeared in a set, then it would need to be added to the set
to get known color information to show up.
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.
