We cannot see the wheel assembled inside the bag.
But with the assembled wheels, we have the right part count = 15

  The groove is small and located only on one side. I highly doubt you would be
able to discern that from the provided picture.

I don't mind one way or the other if it gets changed. Simply trying to make
the inventory a little more accurate.

- Kevin

All right. I finally got around to being able to look into this again. I am sorry
that it took a little bit, but we have been very busy with new set inventories
the last week and a half.

The good news is that I found images from two sealed sets that show the DBG hinges
with the groove. The images are attached. Therefore, that request will be accepted.
I have not found any good images yet to support the LBG hinges, but I will keep
looking.

Thanks for your patience.

Cheers,
Randy

I hope the staff will see this and an official bricklink app will be created.
Thanks for reading

It's in development https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1094209

wow, that post was 5 years old so it is still a work in progress??

jim

It's still a work in progress I think and it will be released at some point
when Bricklink feels like it.

But until they will add payment methods other than PayPal it's just a gimmic
to me, I am opting out for it and so are some other sellers. Of the remaining
sellers, only a small portion has Instant Checkout, so there is no real reason
using the Bricklink app if you get 10x as many results using a computer. To me
that's easily worth navigating a non mobile friendly Bricklink for.

So I guess the answer is, nope, "proper" Bricklink is not going to be mobile
friendly.

The community has soundly rejected this approach, as evidenced in a forum discussion
not too long ago. You want it, most don't.

I think the community rejected renaming colors (that were named before the official
color names were known). I do not think the community rejected following LEGO
on new (known) color names.

I do not object to using a shortened version on BrickLink (Coral instead of Vibrant
Coral), but we should not use something completely different.

It's complete but I would advise noting it in the listing.

  Hello,

Let's say a minifig is inventoried with a b-blocked style head.

Would a minifig assembly be considered complete if it has the alternate head
c-hollow style given that the this style head is technically only an alternate
part for the set inventory that the minifig came in and not the minifig itself.

Some minifig entries have a note saying something like: "This minifigure has
been found with both the 'b' and 'c' style head."

I would consider it complete, but I could see an OCD collector expecting the
'correct' head style per the BL figure assembly. Even if 'correct'
is just arbitrarily which ever style was found by the first user when adding
to the catalog.

Obviously, this only applies to figures produced during the great transition
period.

It is complete if it can come with an alternate head.

AGREE! Especially on an upload. I have all the colors linked to the codes so
I can type the color names and the code auto populates.

I'd much rather type 'coral' into a cell instead of 'vibrant
coral'.

  Sometimes the large image space is empty depending on the device you are using.
I notice this when using my phone, and people have reported similar problems
with tablets. That is a bug and I'll write it up if I can reproduce it. I
suspect it is a cache issue.

I think some value is not being consistently passed to the javascript controlling
that display, especially when the page loads. The image shows up more consistently
if it HAS been cached.

This set Inventory includes 50860c01 Item 'Orange Motorcycle Dirt Bike, Complete Assembly with Black Chassis and Dark Bluish Gray Wheels' which includes the 50862c01 items, so are duplicated and it is neccessary to delete them. Thanks. Regards

Hi when bikes and motorcycles assemblies are in the couterparts section, wheels
and tires assemblies are also added to such inventory as another counterpart.
Just look in how many sets this wheel ant tire assembly is as counterpart beside
having also motorcycle:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=50862c01&in=S
Counterparts section can have "duplicate" items. Like also parts with the same
sitcker but having different mold variant.

This request will be rejected.

When the color starts showing up in prints, we have to use an extra 8 spaces
in limited room to say "vibrant ". I do NOT want to describe a complicated sci-fi
torso that has "vibrant coral arms / vibrant coral hands"

This. Keep colour names as simple (and short) as possible, while still meaningful.
If need be, this colour doesn't even need to have the word coral in it.
