  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 10404  Name: Ocean's Bottom
* 
10404-1 (Inv) Ocean's Bottom
571 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2018
Sets: Building Bigger Thinking

* Add 1 Part 553b Lime Brick, Round 2 x 2 Dome Top - Blocked Open Stud with Bottom Axle Holder x Shape + Orientation (Alternate) (match ID 1)
* Change 2 Part Lime 553c Brick, Round 2 x 2 Dome Top - Hollow Stud with Bottom Axle Holder x Shape + Orientation {match ID 0 to 1}

Comments from Submitter:
My copy of this set contains one 553c and one 553b.

Just realized I entered a quantity of 1 for the alternate when it could theoretically
be 2. On second thought not sure if my case counts as a valid part variation
at all?

It definitely does count as a valid part variation.

Could you please post a picture of the two pieces from the undersides for future
reference? Since 553b has not been reported in a set for a few years now, it
seems odd to see this part variation pop up again.

Also, was your copy of this set purchased as a sealed set, opened by yourself,
and the pieces of it not mixed with any other sets?

Thanks,
Randy

716 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2 Books, 4 Gear, 2003

* Add 1 Part 3857 Light Gray Baseplate 16 x 32

Comments from Submitter:
Although the Light Gray 3857 is not shown on either Organizer Card, it is clearly shown and utilized in one of the instruction booklets (with the windmill on the cover). I have just come across a set which appears as new and it does contain the Light Gray 3857

Are you sure it is not shown on your organizer cards? Because one of the organizer
cards for this set in the BrickLink database clearly shows the baseplate in the
background of the card (see attached image where red arrow was added by me).

In any case, request approved.

Cheers,
Randy

   How would you recommend selling a complete set of CMFs?

Personally, I would do what these other sellers have done and list the whole
set under the random entry. As long as you describe things clearly in your notes,
buyers will understand that they are paying for a whole set. This is one of those
areas where the average prices must be deduced from scanning listings or sold
listings instead of the calculated averages.

It is a shame that the site cannot do something and step in and help sellers
and buyers here, by realising what they need. Some people want to sell and buy
complete series. I thought the primary goal of bricklink was to enable sales
of LEGO, so adding a "complete series" for each CMF or similar series would work
well for those people. Does it really matter that they were never sold that way
by LEGO? If need be, this information could always be added as a note to a complete
series entry.


+1

It's about time!

Here you go. Let's try it out.
 
Set No: 41775  Name: Character, Unikitty!, Series 1 (Complete Random Set of 1 Character)
* 
41775-1 (Inv) Character, Unikitty!, Series 1 (Complete Random Set of 1 Character)
1 Set, 2018
Sets: Unikitty!: Unikitty! Series 1
 
Set No: 41775  Name: Character, Unikitty!, Series 1 (Complete Series of 12 Complete Character Sets)
* 
41775-2 (Inv) Character, Unikitty!, Series 1 (Complete Series of 12 Complete Character Sets)
12 Sets, 2018
Sets: Unikitty!: Unikitty! Series 1

Let me know if you think the random one needs a big question mark placed over
it. If people like this entry and use it, we'll go ahead and add the others.

Hi Russell,
I've updated the Rebrickable Unikitty Series entry, 41775-13, to link to
this new BrickLink entry. Just checked the Rebrickable link on Bricklink 41775-2.
It needs to be corrected to link to 41775-13 at Rebrickable.

Hopefully this type of Bricklink entry will be applied to the other CMF series.
If you add anymore, please message me so I can correct the links from Rebrickable.

Thanks,

Thea
Always An Adventure!

  Hi

It has been quite a while since I joined BrickLink, and for new members is there
any advice/info forwarded when joining (i.e ensure that you read the Sellers
Terms before Buying)

Just had a new member buy 1 part for 50p (UK), for delivery to Slovakia. Didn't
think he would buy once postage etc added.

Just had a message, thought it would be free postage.

Not a problem, as expecting it, but obviously he was not aware or made aware
of how Bricklink works.

Is such a thing in place or could it be added

Thanks

I've added some large, bold, all caps, very blunt wording to avoid this.
I was having lots of issues with newer international buyers not understanding
rates.

Now I rarely have an issue.


I'm not sure BL is willing to be so blunt about it. ::shrug::

The 'stores' part of BL needs to be redesigned. I think that the site
itself is marvelous in all of the complex things you can do with it, but, the
storefronts need to change. It doesn't look good to new buyers, and you can't
expect all new buyers to go and read 2000 help pages, no one does that! They'll
just say 'this is too hard' and leave the site and forget about lego.

A lof of times I have found interesting things online that I might have purchased
if the site looked legit or was simpler. Buying hundreds of different parts is
difficult as is, we need to try to make it as less of a burden as possible for
a new buyer, so the learning curve is not as steep. You could start easy by buying
and then look into the "darker" parts of the site.

Hi!

Please see a photograph of page 25 of the building instruction copied below.
It says to use a 24,8cm blue rigid hose which equals 31 studs. The current entry
(24cm, 30 studs) is wrong.

Kind regards

Good catch! The inventory has been updated.

Cheers,
Randy

Change your setting so that buyers under 5 feedback have to use instant checkout.
It removes a lot of these problems.

Hi,

Thanks for this great service!
As customer, buyer only, I salute the fix done to part adding to wishlist, when
chosing some attribute reset other attribute.
Still, there are several things to be corrected according to my flow.
One would be the moving parts to another wishlist, when some part already exists
in the same colour and a message saying already exists prevents that. I would
need a button added to that message to add the number of selected parts to the
list, if I decide so (meaning I did not duplicated an entry by mistake, but I
need more).
Another is the maintenance page. It overrides the browser's history and I
loose the page were I was. Definitely, in each case, I need to go back to it
when the maintenance is done.
Please take into account these suggestions.

Thank you and best regards,
Mike

  Is there any reason why a function to part multiple unique sets can't implemented?
For example it would save a huge amount of time if I could sort all the lots
from three copies of five different sets and pack everything away once, rather
than having to go through the whole part out process five times.



You can do this in Brickstock, open two unique files and copy one into another.
you would have multiple sets in a single file to upload.
