when has bricklink ever been wrong?

It's not BRICKLINK that has been 'wrong', but it is usually LEGO
swapping parts in production for elements that are slightly different, hence
these requests that people make...
I had to do one the other day for a set that was approx 10 years old.
It's no biggie

Comments from Submitter:
Upon Checking this set as I have one on hand, I noted that this particular part was in mine, and not the 'official' BL inventory one.
I checked with BrickSet, and they have confirmed that the clip should be the thin type, however, I checked the instructions and Peeron and they show the type 1's. hence this request as for the others to be included as 'alternate'
|
Brickset gets its vintage/alternate inventories from Rebrickable, and it is not
clear how Rebrickable populated their inventories. Some of them, anyway, have
been copied straight from BL:
Peeron on the other hand, is another situation. Many of their inventories are
from excellent sources (and they actually list the source). But there is no log
with a record of changed filed directly with submitters, so in the case of this
set, it's hard to see whether the person who verified the set consciously
changed the variant to the "a" type. Also, there is evidence that some varaint
data was "cleaned up" after the fact (we do that here on BL, too) but without
a change log, it's hard to be sure what is what.
Since this set is on the edge of the line for this part (1986), I would prefer
a straight change. Another consideration is that even in 2015 some members are
having a hard time distinguishing between the types, even with an excellent large
image showing all 4 variants side by side. So confusion of this part at an earlier
date is to be expected.
Speaking of earlier dates, look at the date the inventory was approved (2003),
but 67 lots were added in 2005 (i.e. the whole inventory). Something fishy is
going on here, and it really makes one wonder what the inventory was like for
the previous 2 years. And then the change in 2006 with the Technic pins is another
issue.

Hi Russell,
I'm surprised as to that you have actually changed the clip totally when
I can see from my instructions, they are supposed to be the Type 1, and yet when
I looked on Brickset they are the Type 2, along with the ones in my set.
This is why I requested the alternate, as like you said, it was on the edge of
the line for the part (type 1).
I think the issue in regard the pins is that the original submitter probably
didn't realise that there were 2 different types...
Wasn't it changed some time ago, the ability to reserve a set for inventorying
purposes to a limit of 3 days before it was re-set?.
I'm sure I can remember several sets being reserved for approx 4 months before
being submitted?

The French version of this game has the 2x3 plates, and the owner of the only
one on BL can confirm that the set has a cardboard Castle, Board, targets, dice

| | Keep in mind that the bigger the seller is, then the more mistakes they make.

maybe this is because they get so many large orders due to the high volumes of
'lots' that their stores have.
Sometimes I have a mistake or two within my inventory and I am able to rectify
this by having some of my 'personal' stock available, but if their stores
are run so tightly without any lee-way what so ever, mistakes are likely to happen.
However, it is possible that due to some set's inventories being incorrect
upon being parted-out, some parts are not the correct type or even not available,
that is where some mistakes are made.
The vast majority of us are 'hobby' sellers, who only do this to off-load
the parts that are not needed, and while it is nice to get large orders now and
again, these multi-lot ones are a real bug-bear as they DO take time to fulfil
and these are usually where mistakes can occur.

Paul

before we head out for the day. 
I feel just as strongly about this issue, as I do with my previous suggestion.
When a member takes the decision to place another member on their stoplist, that
an option is offered during the process of stoplisting. Perhaps a check-box to
tic-off if you would like to keep the lines of communication, open.
This would be at the discretion of the member doing the stoplisting.
Maybe two levels of stoplisting; one without contact (more severe), or a less
severe level, allowing contact.
I would further suggest that the option be left open as long as the member is
on the stoplist. Allowing the stoplisting member to open-up comms, or close if
desired.

I have voted no, because this will make the catalogue more slow to load and having
to include the picture will NOT make things easier for sellers.
The set's inventory is used as a guide to determine if a used set is complete
or not, not a picture, as the picture will not be able to show ALL of the pieces
in full detail.
I'm guessing that you have several unsealed sets, and would like to determine
if the number of bags is correct?
I did try and implement a feature of where the number of bags could be included
within the listing in the catalogue, but it was turned down due to the "fact"
that the official number of bags does change when sets are packaged for each
market region.

Hi Paul,
The submitter of the inventory assured me that he did indeed have an extra mask,
and extras are just that - extras. They are not part of the regular inventory
and some sets may have them and other sets not. Extras are just that and they
may or may not be included in a set, and quantity of extras may vary from set
top set.

Hi Hazel,
I did find it strange that this extra part was found in this set, as I have found
that of all of the Chima sets that have been on the comic, no extra parts have
been found, including the ones that I have inventoried. (which is why I included
the additional 'comment' in my original post.)

I agree with what you are saying, but my response was not intended as a criticism,

I have noted that there some images that have been taken straight from the box
image/instructions and from LDD which are not quite up to the standard that a
'proper' camera image can be, and I'm all for it to have those replaced.
Like I did mention, maybe you could focus on those parts that have no image,

I've done several this way myself, but I just can't get the images reduced
