Hi Jonas,

I myself have wondered about this part in our BrickLink inventories for several
years. Confusion seems to have come from images that did not show the differences
clearly enough.

  Hello everybody,

before I (maybe) do some proper requests, I'd like to clarify the following
issue regarding part 2739a/2739b in black.

 
Part No: 2739a  Name: Technic, Link 1 x 6 without Stoppers
* 
2739a Technic, Link 1 x 6 without Stoppers
Parts: Technic, Link

Set 8110 came with 2739b in August 2011. That is correct: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5134871
In November 2011, 2739a was added as alternate. That is correct, too: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5256458

 
Set No: 8110  Name: Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400
* 
8110-1 (Inv) Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400
2048 Parts, 2011
Sets: Technic: Model: Construction

According to the catalog, five sets from 2012-2014 still had 2739b. I think that's
wrong because...

- I tried to find images or videos showing 2739b, but didn't find a single
one.
- All those sets were inventoried by the same person and always with Source:
Parts List.
- The following sets from 2012 and 2013 have 2739a as regular and these sets
were inventoried with Source: Sealed Set Contents.

 
Set No: 9450  Name: Epic Dragon Battle
* 
9450-1 (Inv) Epic Dragon Battle
885 Parts, 7 Minifigures, 2012
Sets: NINJAGO: Rise of the Snakes

 
Set No: 9392  Name: Quad Bike
* 
9392-1 (Inv) Quad Bike
199 Parts, 2012
Sets: Technic: Model: Off-Road

 
Set No: 70708  Name: Hive Crawler
* 
70708-1 (Inv) Hive Crawler
539 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2013
Sets: Space: Galaxy Squad


Images of new sets with 2739a:

 
Set No: 9398  Name: 4 x 4 Crawler
* 
9398-1 (Inv) 4 x 4 Crawler
1327 Parts, 2012
Sets: Technic: Model: Off-Road
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5549146

 
Set No: 9396  Name: Helicopter
* 
9396-1 (Inv) Helicopter
1056 Parts, 2012
Sets: Technic: Model: Airport
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5583833

 
Set No: 9393  Name: Tractor
* 
9393-1 (Inv) Tractor
353 Parts, 2012
Sets: Technic: Model: Farm
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5706003

 
Set No: 42005  Name: Monster Truck
* 
42005-1 (Inv) Monster Truck
329 Parts, 2013
Sets: Technic: Model: Off-Road
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5886402

 
Set No: 42021  Name: Snowmobile
* 
42021-1 (Inv) Snowmobile
186 Parts, 2014
Sets: Technic: Model: Off-Road
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6026821

Summary: I think 2739b never appeared in any set from 2012 and later, so I suggest
to delete it from the inventories of 9398, 9396, 9393, 42005 and 42021.

Regards,
Jonas

  Hello,
I just restarted Bricksync, the synchronization took place but to my surprise,
it was reversed. All the changes made over the last two months via Bricklink
have disappeared and Bricksync has taken inventory of Brickowl as a reference.
I end up with a HUGE inventory problem. That never happened to me before ....
Usually when I run bricksync, it does sync commands and mate those of Bricklink
and Brickowl. He then uses Bricklink as a reference to update the changes on
Brickowl and not the other way around?
Is there a way back on Bricksync?

If you had a solution to this problem, I would be extremely grateful.

Yes, use a backup.

Close bricksync, move a good backup to the data folder and name it bricksync.inventory.bsx
(you can add a .bak to the old one). Open bricksync and type sync.

Do not run bricksync when your bricklink store is closed. Bricksync doesn't
just malfunction, something was done wrong, just try to find out what happened
and learn from it for the future. It's a great program just takes some time
to get used to. Always know you have backups upon backups if an issue arises.
It takes a backup before making any changes.

The author is also amazing if you run into an issue as well.

Have a look at a couple of your recent Bricksync backups in the data folder,
you should be able to use one to roll back your inventory.

  Hi all.

I managed to pick up one of these sets today, and I remember seeing an article
on-line about how this would combine the playability of the LEGO parts with the
Japanese love of working with paper, so I snaffled it.

 
Set No: e1a1401  Name: MUJI Basic Set
* 
e1a1401-1 (Inv) MUJI Basic Set
64 Parts, 2011
Sets: Muji

Now, looking through the contents, I note that the original submitter did NOT
include the paper sheets, nor is there a picture of the instruction sheet/booklet

Would it really be in the interests of the catalogue to include this via the
inventory?

Yes, very much so. The inventory would include the original paper sheets as they
came in the set. These would need to be added to the Paper category of the Parts
catalog. Any cut-out paper designs could also be added to the Paper category
of the Parts catalog, but these items would end up in the Counterparts section
of the set inventory.

  There are extra elements as well, which I will add shortly

Fantastic.

  I'm just concerned about the paper elements.

There are 8 different designs to be built, and the first design had been cut
out (badly), and, to my surprise, a purposely made hole puncher had been made
for use with this line, but wasn't included, so an ordinary one had been
used, which shows, as the holes are not in the right places....

Can the Cat admin(s) chime in over this?

Thanks in advance!

Paul

LEGO has not produced a basketball element since 2006, so I assume that it is
easier/less expensive to simply recolour an existing piece than to make a new,
single-purpose, mould (or to revive the old one).

No, the Have is not about the inventory but after applying an order to a Wantlist.

To search your My inventory click on the extended search options and select Items
on my Wantlist click. Then you can manually adjust the quantities of the Wantlist.

Anyone noticed that when parting out some sets,

I'm not talking about extra parts that Lego will put in.
For example in set 10704, there is 2 black antenna,
but when entering the set in bricklink, it display quantity of 3.
And there is more example like that in the same set.

That part is listed as an extra, there are quite a few in that set.

  hello !

Set No: 4883  Name: Gear Grinders
* 
4883-1 (Inv) Gear Grinders
273 Parts, 2005
Sets: Designer Sets: Traffic

   "gear grinders" creator set, 4 red pieces ref 45677 are needed on
the paper instruction (see my photo). And 5 are needed on the Bricklink Inventory.
As it is a creator, with different building options, the exact needed number
is not easy to know. All i know is that 4 of these red pieces are enough to build
each of the suggested buiding options in the instruction. But separately, one
after the other. I don't know if TLG designed this set as being able to build
several "gear grinders" at the same time ? ... Another member owns this set ?
Good sunday to all of you !!

Brickset (= more or less LEGO) agrees with BrickLink to reach 273 pieces in total,
so, unless another part is wrong, it looks correct.

Note that the 5th part was changed to extra on February, 16th 2012, and changed
back to regular on the 19th.
Unfortunately, we can’t see the messages accompanying the changes anymore

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=4883-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1

Those movment were I think due to parts count on box which shows 273 part. So
current parts count in inventory match.

Sealed set contents that I have found show that the set indeed came with five
of the part, since all three of the main models on the front cover were able
to be made at the same time. Those three models require five of the part. Therefore,
the inventory is correct. However, I will add a note that the instruction manual
has a mistake in the parts list.

Cheers,
Randy

Thank you to all of you !

Set No: 4883  Name: Gear Grinders

4883-1 (Inv) Gear Grinders
273 Parts, 2005
Sets: Designer Sets: Traffic

   "gear grinders" creator set, 4 red pieces ref 45677 are needed on
the paper instruction (see my photo). And 5 are needed on the Bricklink Inventory.
As it is a creator, with different building options, the exact needed number
is not easy to know. All i know is that 4 of these red pieces are enough to build
each of the suggested buiding options in the instruction. But separately, one
after the other. I don't know if TLG designed this set as being able to build
several "gear grinders" at the same time ? ... Another member owns this set ?
Good sunday to all of you !!

Brickset (= more or less LEGO) agrees with BrickLink to reach 273 pieces in total,
so, unless another part is wrong, it looks correct.

Note that the 5th part was changed to extra on February, 16th 2012, and changed
back to regular on the 19th.
Unfortunately, we can’t see the messages accompanying the changes anymore

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=4883-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1

Those movment were I think due to parts count on box which shows 273 part. So
current parts count in inventory match.

Sealed set contents that I have found show that the set indeed came with five
of the part, since all three of the main models on the front cover were able
to be made at the same time. Those three models require five of the part. Therefore,
the inventory is correct. However, I will add a note that the instruction manual
has a mistake in the parts list.

Cheers,
Randy

Use the Show extra search options on the right, All Stockrooms, minimum 1 quantity.

Oh thank you, I have totally missed that "Min Qty" box.

Maybe because this is the way the bricklink catalog works? For me it is logical
to have one entry for one part (which means for me: one mould with one specific
sticker or imprint) with different base colours. It is similar to, for example,
the levers with bases:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=24

There is one entry for all black levers with different coloured bases, one entry
for all grey levers ... and so on.

Of course it would be possible to use different entries. Or to list them according
to the base colours. It was just decieded not to do so.

  I am a curious person by nature, always trying to understand the reasoning behind
things around me, so my questions are not intended to be taken as criticism

I am also just trying to find reasons here.

I see what you mean here, but to me that should be different part numbers based
on the fact that the colour of the tiles (in this case) are different. The same
pattern with different colours get their own catalog number, why not when piece
colour is different as well?
[P=3069bpb047]
[P=3069bpb048]
[P=3069bpb049]

questions about things I notice I'll restrain from further pursuit in

  Especially minifig torsos would be much easier to identify if you could do a
basic search on torso colour and then visually compare the patterns, since sometimes
it can be hard to figure out what specifics in the pattern has been included
in the description. (perhaps this is already possible but I haven't figured
it out yet )

A question for another part of the forum I guess, but thought I'd ask the

one of this bricks but with the Backboard pattern on both sides.
It would make sense to me to have it on both sides in this set since it is designed
to play against each other and otherwise one would have to aim at a blank board.

Anyway I think the inventory should be updated and a new part be added or at
least a note added to the brick and the set that it comes in different versions.

If you add the new part to the catalog, we can get the inventories straightened
out.

The same as inventoried.
Looking at the counterparts (minifigs) of 3422-2 - their stickers are different

Going through some old sealed CMF pouches and identifying them by feel (I'm
100% other than the DFB soccer players), and I believe I've found a Rogue
from series 16 with 2 heads and no headgear:

 
Set No: col16  Name: Rogue, Series 16 (Complete Set with Stand and Accessories)
* 
col16-11 (Inv) Rogue, Series 16 (Complete Set with Stand and Accessories)
2 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2016
Sets: Collectible Minifigures: Series 16 Minifigures

This is easy to find:

 
Part No: 4499  Name: Minifigure, Weapon Bow, Longbow with Arrow Drawn
* 
4499 Minifigure, Weapon Bow, Longbow with Arrow Drawn
Parts: Minifigure, Weapon

as is this:

 
Part No: 4498  Name: Minifigure Arrow Quiver with 2 Arrows
* 
4498 Minifigure Arrow Quiver with 2 Arrows
Parts: Minifigure, Body Wear

But I'm feeling 2 heads and no cowl.

I've felt countless CMF packets and this is the first mispack that I'm
certain I've found. Has anyone else found mis-packed CMF packets and if so,
how often?

And the ultimate question, of course, is there a market for this unopened?

Thanks!

  Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why random items show up as stockroom
items in my inventory. I have no items I have intentionally marked for retention
in stockroom, yet every Monday I go to my inventory and delete random items that
have shown up as zero count stockroom items.

Is this something I have done in error, or is it a system problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Stan.

It's one of those persistent problems that Bricklink is trying to fix. I
think something is really wrong in the bug fixing department, it seems their
ability to isolate a problem and target it effectively with a fix is really compromised.
Previously there was an issue with remark fields being deleted and it also took
a very long time and was also "fixed" in an "ok this time it really seems to
work but if you have problems let us know" way.
Several people have reported this issue. Hope for you guys they will do something
about it.

It is called by some 'spaghetti code' and they are far too busy with
getting XP off the drawing board (and it is nearly 2 months overdue (according
to Admin-Russell's suggestion of a March release.

Forecasting the release of new products is always difficult to be exact but ........
The Future of Bricklink as MP called it at Brickworld seems to be taking an eternity
(and we plan to opt out of it anyway, as will many others we are informed.

They are about to release a product which requires a feature that only 20% of
the total stores use - that isn't the best base for acceptance and if they
honestly believe that XP will convince the non IC users to move to it - their
crystal ball must be a bit murky.


Why not fix bugs - there are too many to go into here with a dedicated programmer
and focus the other developers on the new features, especially the ones that
are massively overdue (Sellers tools with what the stores want, please) e.g.
inventory management, sales metrics, query by form, improved printing capabilities,
updated price guide, major improvements to the store front and search capabilities.
Drop the API and provide tools that all members can use without having to be
a programmer.

NB - Why isn't your ID Pic amongst the ones in

  Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why random items show up as stockroom
items in my inventory. I have no items I have intentionally marked for retention
in stockroom, yet every Monday I go to my inventory and delete random items that
have shown up as zero count stockroom items.

Is this something I have done in error, or is it a system problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Stan.

It's one of those persistent problems that Bricklink is trying to fix. I
think something is really wrong in the bug fixing department, it seems their
ability to isolate a problem and target it effectively with a fix is really compromised.
Previously there was an issue with remark fields being deleted and it also took
a very long time and was also "fixed" in an "ok this time it really seems to
work but if you have problems let us know" way.
Several people have reported this issue. Hope for you guys they will do something
about it.

How is it confusing? Everybody knows that an asterisk is the symbol for "large"

new users complain Bricklink is not intuitive

A small asterisk (*) below a thumbnail image indicates that there is a large
image (like the one you see on this page) available when you click on the small
thumbnail.

An exclamation mark (!) below a thumbnail image indicates that there is 3D data
available.

When you view a set inventory, each part listed usually has a ! or a * (or both)
underneath the part image thumbnail. Can anyone tell me what they mean? ta.

Yes, there is an issue with the form and we have a bug fix in the works. You
will need to just add and delete for now whenever it involves a type change (Alternate,
Counterpart, etc.)

OK, thanks for the response

The serpent uses 8 red horns, 2 for the head, 2 for the first body part and 4

Open up Bricksstock

Go to Extras - Update database - you should then see a screen telling you it
is updating the database - when that finishes then import your inventory - that
should fix things for the catalogue/database changes that Bricklink are making.

As an on-going thing you should always run the extras - update database command
each time you open Brickstock - this ensure you are working with the latest catalogue
updates.

Hope that helps.

BTW we see the sets you are querying in our Brickstock so they are in the catalogue.

Thanks! This works. Never used the extra -update the database.

HI there

There are 2 different ways to backup your inventory. The first is the one you
mention - download the inventory and save it as a xml file. If you then have
to restore it you can use the mass upload inventory feature to bring it back.

The 2nd way and somewhat easier, in our opinion is the use of Brickstock to download
your store inventory - that saves it as a bsx file and there is a reverse command
to upload it back to Bricklink.

Hope that helps

Thank you this will help me out thank you for the help.

Already thought so, Thanks

Hello, yesterday I deleted the 10 items that gives the error.
today I add 1 again. And still the same so deleted it again.
What does Brickstock have to do before it is importing my stock without problems?
Are they doing this automatic without noticing from customers of the programme?

You can use the instructions to see the parts for bag 1. Go though the instructions
until you reach the icon to open bag two. All of the parts are in the parts

  Hello everyone,

I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed a new Inventories Administrator,
to fill in the place that Marek left when he was promoted to Catalog Associate.

For this position we have selected member Paulvdb (Paul), whom many of you may
know as a catalog contributor, inventories contributor, and Forum participant.
He is also an established seller (since 2011, I believe) so many of you may know
him also through that channel.

Paul has distinguished himself especially by his work with older inventories,
sharing many sealed set contents data with the site for some of our precious
old vintage sets. We have found his contributions to be ultra reliable and think
he is going to do very well in this new role.

Congratulations are in order!

For this position we have selected member Paulvdb (Paul), whom many of you may
know as a catalog contributor, inventories contributor, and Forum participant.
He is also an established seller (since 2011, I believe) so many of you may know
him also through that channel.

Paul has distinguished himself especially by his work with older inventories,
sharing many sealed set contents data with the site for some of our precious
old vintage sets. We have found his contributions to be ultra reliable and think
he is going to do very well in this new role.

Congratulations are in order!

Russell

Gefeliciteerd Paul!

I hope you enjoy this position and we accomplish together correcting or completing
inventories of many vintage or newer sets.

Bests,
Reza

LARGE Vs. SMALL

https://youtu.be/4ewH-smrNFc

Unless you get exactly the same thing in each cup this calculation really doesn't
work. It works for you if you are curious as to the value you got but really
has nothing to do with the difference in size.

Just one example: You have the 28 1x4 which would be equivalent to about 250-350
1x1 round plates which equals nearly $12 (assuming 300).

I think a simple solution would be to fill the small cup with water twice and
dump it into the large cup to see what the difference in volume is.

That is a rough guide but with bricks you cannot fill the cups completely due
to voids. I know in the past people have checked the value of filling a big vs
small cup with just one type of part at a time (2x4 bricks or 1x1 round tiles).

For example, you can get 102 2x4s (8.8c each) in a small cup, compared to 167
(9.6c) in a large. Whereas if you just scoop into the small cup, it is down at
56 bricks (16.1c).

If you think you can sell them for the 6c price, you should have filled up with
the 1x1 round tile (closed eye). You can pack more than 3x of those than the
2x2 corner plate into either cup, and 3x6c = 18c, more than the "best value"
2x2 corner plates at 10c.

That might also be why your small cup appears better value, as you have 173 of
this part in the small cup but only 285 in the large cup. To make a fairer cost
comparison, you could have put 308 into the large cup (173*$16/$9). Or keep the
ratios of all the parts you add the same in both cups.

Yea I know there are multiple variables that can come into play. Next time I'm
going to buy three cups of each and go small medium to large pieces in each to
have a better idea if One is better than other.

Thanks for your input!

The more part is the following- ...and confirm what if any sets/MOCs I can build
via my current lego stock?

I researched the option to see "percent of parts avail" and saw this on another
site but I believe it was a site dedicated not only to sets, but MOC's and
for the life of me I can't remember where I saw that phrase at. I made a
post on BrickOwl as well and am pending response, but I'm pretty sure it
wasn't on brickowl.

Any help is appreciated!

Funny that you should mention that. I have two LBG ones here and they have no
trans-clear part. And it is part of something too big for me to deal with alone,
so I'm going to have some questions tomorrow.

They are tied to the sets, but they are not tied by the "Item Appears In" data.
The "Item Appears In" data are used for links to things _within_ set inventories.
Since instruction manuals are an entry that gets created and tied automatically
to a set when a set entry is created, the instruction manuals do not have to
be put into the actual inventories. In fact, I can't even place an instruction
manual into an actual inventory.

Cheers,
Randy

I'm looking at the list of my lots which are not available for IC. As a part
of working that list, I looked at the catalog entry for one instruction booklet
(i.e. 1271-1). The catalog page says 'Item Appears In N/A'.

Are instructions not tied back to the set (or sets) they shipped with ?

Generally this is a 1:1 relationship, and should be obvious, but I do seem to
recall a few instructions that were coded with more than one set number. One
example of this is a set that was shipped both with and without a play stage
(or which several such examples exist from the 1990s).

See 6900/6999 for such a situation.

Hi

I am looking for help for the above kit, I recently bought an incomplete 6211
mostly in sealed original bags. I am trying to establish how many bags I should
have and if its possible to get parts lists per bag ?

I have 3 No2 bags one is missing 3 plates the other which was sealed appears
to be a copy but doesn't contain the missing plates. The third contained
small parts but again some duplicates.

Bag(s) No4 is missing.

I have 6 No7 Bags with what appears to be duplicate bags again.


All the other bags seem ok, I would just like to try and establish what I should
have and what I need to order


Thanks in advance

Mike
