  There are two other big problems:

1. The dimensions aren’t given in “studs,” there are given in “studs x studs
x brick-height.”

2. Dimensions in studs are “width x depth x height,” others are “width x height
x depth” (Y is often up in 3D software).

I know that, you know that, but the catalog pages (for either of them) represent
all three as studs.

My point exactly: WE know that but the website (catalogue, IC info…) is obscure,
confusing, and inconsistent.

I know that bricks are supposed to be stored as studs. and set/books/gear are

When I look at the catalog page for
 
Part No: 3003  Name: Brick 2 x 2
* 
3003 Brick 2 x 2
Parts: Brick
I see 'Size: 2 x 2 x 1 in studs'

When I look at the catalog page for
 
Part No: 3437  Name: Duplo, Brick 2 x 2
* 
3437 Duplo, Brick 2 x 2
Parts: DUPLO, Brick
I see 'Size: 2 x 2 x 1 in studs'

When I look at the dimensions in a catalog XML file I see (for both) …
ITEMDIMX 2 /ITEMDIMX
ITEMDIMY 2 /ITEMDIMY
ITEMDIMZ 1 /ITEMDIMZ

When I look at the values beneath an actual listed lot (3003) I see: 16mm 11.2mm
16mm

When I look at the values beneath an actual listed lot (3437) I see: 32mm 23.6mm
32mm

So that suggests that the XML download file does not actually represent the values
being used by IC … or does it? I don't mind the values I'm receiving,
but I would like access to the real numbers as well.

Remember that LEGO bricks are measured in lego studs, whereas Duplo bricks are
measured in duplo studs. So while both are 2x2x1 in studs, they are measured
in different stud units.

The metric m.easurements make sense, as the duplo piece is 2x bigger in all dimensions
than the LEGO brick.

There are two other big problems:

1. The dimensions aren’t given in “studs,” there are given in “studs x studs

2. Dimensions in studs are “width x depth x height,” others are “width x height

All you say is correct and makes sense. But IC does not use studs, it (apparently)
is using mm, and those values are being obscured from view. Why ?

So I do agree that your proposal does provide better information, which if valid
eliminates the one of secrets I mentioned.

If either is unchecked, then it would be required to specify which country is

This would not solve the indicated problem, but it would give us better information

I think your suggestion above opens the door toward couriers, which in turn for
some buyers places courier, their packing, and their shipping responsibilities
on sellers, as opposed to ending seller responsibility at courier receipt.

I recognize couriers' value as well as the added risk they can present, and
have no solution at this point.

I do not like things big brother-ish, however admittedly would prefer to not
have the final destination and possible re-packing or breaking down of something
I've packed be secrets.

  Hi

Would it be possible to block a buyer having an email from a given country eg
Russia, but his postal address is the UK?

Just got yet another scammers ordering from my shop with this very suspicious
config, even got negative from himfeedback from him.

Or a setting that enables us to block and oblige the buyer to pay buy only with
iban

This is a poorly thought out suggestion. As it is written, it should be tossed.

Having said that, I believe there is a need for better information disclosure.

What would be better, is if the buyer were required to specify their shipping
address, then have two checkboxes under that …

One would be something like "Home address in same country as shipping address".

The other would be "Payment funded from same country as shipping address".

  I would simply put them all into 1 category and best described as microfigure

They are described as Statuette, all of them, so it easier to type this word
to the search box than part number
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?q=statuette
and if you serch by name Statuette you will find second mold:
 
Part No: 16478  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Statuette / Trophy with Cape and Hood
* 
16478 Minifigure, Utensil Statuette / Trophy with Cape and Hood
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil
so it is better to remember this name than part number.

  because searching by model number as showen above will make it hard when other
models expand the family like for example the black SW soldiers comming in 2018
or the mini vader and so on

This is the second mold, see above and if you try to call it "black SW soldiers"
Harry Potter fans will argue with you because black one was used recently as
Dementor in Harry Potter set
 
Set No: 71043  Name: Hogwarts Castle
* 
71043-1 (Inv) Hogwarts Castle
5975 Parts, 28 Minifigures, 2018
Sets: Harry Potter: Sculptures
and trans light blue was Palpatine hologram

.. I just want them in one simple category like we
  have everything. Why should I have to search the model numbers first nad even
there will be many and who knows if I even find them all. Simple sollution is
to make a group for them and add them to the minifigure section. They clearly
represent minifigures in a micro version. Even as utesil it´s fine as long as
they can be filtered all at once.

So they can be filtered all at onec use word "Statuette"

Oh nice thanks for the hint "Statuette" I would have never guessed this ..
it´s also the problem right? and I am a LEGO builder for over 20 years ...
this part category/name/description has space for improvement as I think it will
get very popular with more sets including them and soon I think they can form
a wide range of micro figures and lots of MOCs will include them (the very reason
I need them too - armies of them).

Hi,

I stated that associating emails with countries would be messy (i.e. I agree
with you), and I was not supporting the original suggestion.

But instead I wondered if BrickLink could verify member addresses against IP
address locations. A recent transaction indicates that PayPal is doing something
like this.

Sorry to cancel my previous post, not knowing if anyone might be replying. This
forum is a lot of (good) clutter, and after posting I weigh the value of my inputs
against adding to the clutter.

Thanks for the IBAN information, Matthew

Please don´t even joke about this! I live in Slovakia spend the year in ASIA
my IP is from Vietnam/Japan/China whatever. I come back home on christmass and
open all my post sent home in the year. I use gmail which has "gmail.com" means
global ... I have enough troubles with money transfers just because some pages
need to have my address locked to IP which I find is the stupidest thing on earth
in 2018 !! Some helpdesk guy even told me to travel home change my country and
come back ... 1200 €for fligh ticket just to change my country of origin if I
have all document with it on them to buy a 10 € token ... oh yes! Please think...
rules like these make a lot of hell for people like me.

There are 698 parts. The inventory on BrickLink is incorrect.

Or the number on the box is incorrect. LEGO has screwed up the piece count on
the box more than once in the past.

LEGO stopped producing Brown in 2006 as you will see in the color chart via the
link provided in the first answer. Both Green and Bright Green are still in
production and are considered distinct colors. Bright Green is not a replacement
to Green like Reddish Brown was to Brown.

I don't believe so, but you can check the list of items pending approval
here:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPend.asp

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of stickered counterparts which have not
been added to the catalog.

It was very dark on Lake Michigan one windy November night in 1923 and I was standing by the shore thinking of poor Sally who had gone to fight in the big war and then, out of nowhere, I heard a loud noise and figured it must have been a dinosaur. I mean, I didn't see it, you know, but this was 1920 freakin' three and what else could have made such a loud noise? I tell you, it frightened me, but good. I reckon I ain't never been the same since then nor before.

Comments from Submitter:
Changing inventory to match the European/Australian/Canadian version. The current picture clearly shows four red 2 x 4 bricks. The yellow 2 x 2 brick is assumed based on convincing evidence that it appeared in the other version.

Set No: 7249  Name: XXL Mobile Crane

7249-1 (Inv) XXL Mobile Crane
518 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2005
Sets: Town: City: Construction

* Change 4 Part Black 6112 Brick 1 x 12 {match ID 8 to 99}
* Change 8 Part Black 3009 Brick 1 x 6 (Alternate) {match ID 8 to 99}

Comments from Submitter:
I believe this should have match ID 99 because it came with an additional sheet to replace pages 22 and 23 in book 3 of the instructions. That means that it should be considered a redesign. I'll add a scan of the correction sheet.

I have previously uploaded correction sheets as secondary images to the instructions
for the set and they've always been accepted. Please consider doing that.

If so how do you select those items to put in your inventory?

Those parts are called stickered counterparts. You can find some of them for
this set in the inventory. The others have not yet been added to the catalog.

To add them to your store inventory as official parts you would need to first
add them to the BrickLink catalog. Otherwise, you may sell them as custom items.

That's kind of you, but I do still have the one I used to make the catalog
entry. I found it in a new Duplo set from around that same time.

No instructions for the set, though? The set has an instructions entry. If
it didn't come with instructions, which certainly seems likely to have been
the case, then we need to get rid of the instructions entry for the set.

There's one seller with instructions for sale right now, but that was likely
from blindly parting out the set.

Yeah, no instructions. And what would the instructions say? You can't build
anything out of this without a tub of bricks.

The instructions entry has been removed.

Thank you for mentioning this. I have updated the match IDs in the inventory
and added an inventory note to reflect the redesign.

If you know of any other sets with supplemental instructions showing changes
which are not documented as being redesigned, then please let me or Marek know.

Thanks.

Hi

yes, that's possible, just add it to the catalog.
Start here: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=I

Only: did it came in the first version from 2005?
 
Set No: 7245  Name: Prisoner Transport - Black/Green Sticker Version
* 
7245-1 (Inv) Prisoner Transport - Black/Green Sticker Version
92 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2005
Sets: Town: City: Police

Or only in the 2008 version?
 
Set No: 7245  Name: Prisoner Transport - Black/Green Sticker Version
* 
7245-1 (Inv) Prisoner Transport - Black/Green Sticker Version
92 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2005
Sets: Town: City: Police

Or in both versions?

What's the date on your sheet? And what is the code printed?


It looks like there were more sets with extra sheets at that time

Comments from Submitter:
Due to selling the other similar part in a recent order, I've worked out that this set has the above part as an alternate item, hence this request

OK Jangbricks video review confirms your findings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEfzS34MrB0 time 3:58

I didn't look at the set review, but I can confirm that the set was sealed
when I parted it out.

I sold the older version of that part a couple of days ago, and when I went to
find it, I had the newer version.

Which is why I said that I'd 'worked it out', because I didn't
have that part new within my inventory, and the only set that it came from was
the one I'd parted out.

But, anyway, you've just confirmed it, and I was able to get the correct
version from my unbuilt UCS Slave one, to ensure that my customer got the correct
version.

Regards,

Paul

Thanks

I bet part 47994 never appeared in this set. Keeping it in the regular items
section is probably unwarrented.

Randy

Hm
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1109894

They look squared off in that video review to me. I don't know why you are
seeing differently. The last time I saw 47994 in a set was a few years ago, before
the 2015 Ninjago waves came out.

Randy

Yes I was blind this time. Agreed an I corrected it. Now only part 19159 is in
inventory and old one has been deleted. Last appearance of 47994 is 2015 in database
now.

Thanks

Each seller chooses the payment methods they want to accept. There are many that
offer alternatives to PayPal such as bank transfers, Stripe etc. If you have
an issue using PayPal then just check what other methods the seller has set up
before ordering.

Isnt it time Bricklink was to offer other payment methods , we used to have our
church group on paypal then a couple of year back they said no ,you now have
to nominate a single person . if that person dies or goes on holiday or any other
reason our buying and selling comes to a stop (unless we use amazon ) we are
currently going through a situation where our account has been put on hold while
paypal investigate £1.01p the reason why i could go on and on,i just so happened
that we had placed 3 orders with brick link and a purchase with ebay , so the
question s how do you pay , one of the orders was paid via Pingit .its becoming
classed as restrictive practice will a government in one country take action
against this ,i can see it happening , so is it no paypal no bricklink !!!!!!!!!!!!!answers
on a toilet roll please

  I would love it if the "note to seller" when a buyer is checking out were handled
more like a message and show up in the messages inbox, with the notification

times, and can be frustrating if you see it too late!

Thanks,

The 'note to seller' is also in the order confirmation email.
Do you read the confirmation email?

Perhaps the order of the order details page should be customizable. Then the
notes can be moved to the top between the Details and parts section.

That's a good idea I think. On the internet we are kind of programmed to
completely disregard mumbo jumbo at the bottom of pages (like "© 2018 BrickLink
Limited. All rights reserved. Some LEGO® sets contain small parts that are NOT
suitable for and may pose a hazard to children under 3 years of age. LEGO® DUPLO®
sets have larger pieces which are specially designed for children under 3. LEGO®

more noticable, and also the message may affect how the order needs to be sorted/packed
so it's kind of a bummer if you forget to scroll down and read it only when
you reach the end of order picking
