BrickLink Discussion Forum

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.

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

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.

9450-1 (Inv) Epic Dragon Battle
885 Parts, 7 Minifigures, 2012
Sets: NINJAGO: Rise of the Snakes

9392-1 (Inv) Quad Bike
199 Parts, 2012
Sets: Technic: Model: Off-Road

70708-1 (Inv) Hive Crawler
539 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2013
Sets: Space: Galaxy Squad

Images of new sets with 2739a:

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

9396-1 (Inv) Helicopter
1056 Parts, 2012
Sets: Technic: Model: Airport

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5583833

9393-1 (Inv) Tractor
353 Parts, 2012
Sets: Technic: Model: Farm

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5706003

42005-1 (Inv) Monster Truck
329 Parts, 2013
Sets: Technic: Model: Off-Road

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5886402

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.

e1a1401-1 (Inv) MUJI Basic Set
64 Parts, 2011
Sets: Muji

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

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?

tldr

used the rebrickable public csv files in MS Access to create a crude Query where
given three parts and their specific color can more often than not narrow down
set origin or narrow to 2 or 3

I am not a database expert, I am a novice, but I work with consumer level computer
consulting for small businesses for 20 year etc.

I dont know how to serve it up on the Internet, but I am looking.

I have not written the front end to it because I dont know how yet (should be
easy)

I just thought this might be useful to other people in some capacity

Inventory for 41005 Heartlake High contains only a plain soccer ball x45, but this set includes a basketball hoop. Did Lego intentionally change the ball type for this set, or is this possibly an inventory error and the part should be a plain basketball 43702.

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).

The part number in the inventory on Lego S&H is

x45 Ball, Sports Soccer Plain
Parts: Ball

Specifically number 6023209.

I thought that when I make a wanted list of things I wish to buy that any items

but the spot is always left blank even when i know I have some in my stockroom......Is
there a setting I may have wrong or not turned on?

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.

Hi,

Anyone noticed that when parting out some sets,
that the quantity listed my differ then what is in the box?

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 !

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 !
