Yes. You can go ahead.

Do we have any way of looking for which ones we lack? At this point I realize
they are EVERYWHERE, but will we be able to tell when it is done?
|
I don't think we will know when it is done or really care if it ever is.
We just want to get as much information into the database as possible and have
a resource for all those people who want to know what comes in those little cardboard
sleeves without having to open them to sell.

Another nice catch! 
I looked over the "Inventory Change Request" help page, and it seems that there
is no mention of this at all. And there really should be. I will go ahead and

Comments from Submitter:
The match ID should be removed as there is no longer an alternate for this part in the inventory, but I don’t know how to do that, since leaving it blank means “no change”...
So I set it to 0 in this request.

Nice catch! That error has been in the inventory for almost 11 years! 
Setting the Match ID to zero was the exact thing you needed to do, so you handled
this request perfectly.
Thanks for contributing!

Maybe your data is wrong? This image was taken directly from the
entry in the catalog. That is why the current image is no longer available for
that part.
But, I definitely don't know if that image was always correct for that part,
either. It will be looked into.

Hi Randy,
The problem is that it was not just an idea you were trying out.
|
Actually, yes it was. We were trying it out for an entire total of two days.
| | It started to be implemented without notification or explanation and caused issues
for sellers and buyers.
|
We were implementing changes so that the user base would have something to comment
on when the idea was communicated to the user base in a couple of days. That
got sidetracked because someone noticed they were being added to the catalog
after one day. As I said, not a big deal, because we got the feedback we were
looking for earlier than planned and have made significant changes already. Also,
it had yet to cause any problems for anyone. The people that were testing the
idea came up with great constructive feedback on what was happening behind the
scenes, and that feedback was very welcomed (especially from member yorbrick).
| | A user had to find out and made a comment about it.
|
A user found out while the idea was being tested in the first two days. An announcement
was planned for today or tomorrow once the initial work was done. So, a total
of maybe four days from initial work to completion of testing work to communicating
with the user base for feedback. A pretty short timetable that was interrupted
by a user that was "snooping" around.
| | Most of the 'whining and moaning' from the user base, not just to this
'idea' but more in general, is about not communicating to said user base.
|
Did I mention the communication part was coming within a day or two? And am I
or Marek or Russell not communicating now?  Do not confuse the BrickLink corporate
lack of communication with the volunteer admins who communicate very regularly.
Just have a search through the forums and you will see that the volunteer admins
are very present and remain accountable to the users here.
| | Time and time again the user base is confronted with changes that are not always
understood and/or apreciated. In some cases the user base does not even understand
why something needs to be changed, beacause it is not allways clear what the
benefit of it is.
|
For this, it would have all been explained in our announcement message that did
not get a chance to materialize due to someone interrupting the process.
| | And as Russel said, it gives a problem in the part-out system which will have
to be fixed, someday (if ever), and that also is a point for concern.
|
Yeah, we heard that. That is why things have already been rolled back due to
the feedback. I took almost three hours of my personal time last night doing
this by myself ASAP. See, us volunteer admins can get stuff done quickly, unlike
the corporate employees. We also take the feedback we get seriously and try to
work with everyone as best we can as we try to add new things to the catalog.
| | Many things on Bricklink have been broken and a fix is never heard of. So introducing
a new idea while older broken things don't get fixed is a very big issue
for the user base.
|
The volunteer admins have no choice but to move forward with ideas that are needed
for the catalog. We have the time and energy to try and make positive changes
for the user base. The corporate side does not. Eventually, the corporate side
will catch up (from things I have started to hear), but us volunteers have no
say and no way to do what is necessary to the code. We work in the systems we
have.
| | And I know that you can't fix the broken things, but do understand that for
me (as a user) it is very annoying to see.
|
I am sorry to hear you say that. I am also annoyed at the lack of support that
I and the other volunteer admins get from corporate.
| | Russel stated that is was good for the future of Bricklink, but there are so
many things, that if ain't fixed are quite damaging for the Bricklink future
that it's sometimes better not to introduce something new before something
old is working in good order.
|
I agree, but once again, the volunteer admins have the time and energy to try
to do things that help the user base even if the corporate side does not keep
up. We will keep trying new ideas, also, as the Catalog Roadmap lays out:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476
Remember, this isn't a developer roadmap. It is a roadmap for things that
the volunteer admins can do and solve.
Thanks for your comments.
Cheers,
Randy

| | | | Wow! Just seeing that cardboard cape boxes have been added to the catalog.
I usually would prefer to refrain from making a derogatory comment on something
so trivial, but I have to say, that is a new kind of stupid. Give me a break.
|
It is truly bizarre. There is this sleeve, for example:
which contains two minifigure capes. However, this sleeve which is called "Cardboard
Sleeve for Set 70837" doesn't actually appear in set 70837 since it contains
minifigure parts, which are listed with the minifigures. So we now have an entry
for a part that is not included in any sets and so is unlikely to ever be listed
in that way.
Then we have the same where the sleeves contain a single cape, for example:
Again it doesn't belong to any sets despite the name, since it belongs to
a minifigure.
It seems to be a case of making a rule then insisting on sticking to it for all
parts and sets, no matter how stupid the application of the rule is.
|
I've got a great idea! To follow suit, lets start cataloging and selling
the numbered plastic bags that the pieces come in in each box. Actually, why
stop there, lets catalog the empty collectible minifig poly bags too. After
all that's technically LEGO is it not? Give me a break!!!!!!!!!
|
You do realize these catalog entries are for the sealed cardboard sleeves with
contents in them, right? Because I don't think you do...

Thank you for this suggestion. We were trying to come up with a way to not have
to repeat information in the names, but I think this idea is the easiest solution.
We will have to come up with another way to track what sets these come in in
the meantime. I am guessing the additional notes for the sleeves will probably
be the way to go.
Cheers,

|
If the actual parts in the sleeve are listed in the inventory and the (sealed)
sleeves are listed as an alternate for each of the sets they are in, won't
that information already be stored in the catalogue in a meaningful way? Then
someone can look up the number on the sleeve and search for it. It won't
be in any sets as a regular part but will be listed as an alternate for all the
sets it appears in. That way, the set numbers need not be kept in the title or
as additional notes.
Or have I totally misunderstood how alternates work?
|
Yes, you have misunderstood alternates. Alternate parts are parts that are completely
substituted for other parts in a set. These sleeves come in every set they came
in.
As Russell said, we will need to wait for new functionality before we can ever
add these to inventories in a meaningful way that makes it easy for sellers to
part them.
Cheers,
Randy

In any case, we have heard all of the feedback and will be reversing course on
the inventories. We had planned to make an announcement in a few days concerning
this to ask for feedback on what had been done, but we wanted stuff in place
for users to look at. So this thread was not a complete loss to us, but you did

This request was partially correct in the fact that the blanket did indeed need

It is white printed on dark plastic, so some of the plastic color is transmitted

Removing or Changing Extra Items - Extra parts can vary depending on when
and where a set was manufactured, meaning that some new sets may include them
and others may not. The quantity of these extra parts can also vary. Extra parts
are typically not removed or reduced in quantity unless it can be determined

They look like Trans-Light Blue to me. However, if you want to know for sure,
get a black light. Trans-Medium Blue fluoresces *very* strongly under black light.

| The LEGO replacement parts service and the parts list in the instructions manual
both list the clips as coming in the set even though the official part count
on the box states the set only contains 114 pieces and the clips are not shown
to be used in the actual build instructions. Therefore, the official part count
on the box is wrong and I do agree that the parts should be in the Regular Items

count on the box not matching the true part count.

Anyway, a lot of people list sets without the extra parts, so these parts might

Only one counterpart is now missing, but the last sticker on the set I have is applied incorrectly.

Admin, please correct the name of these two parts (I didn't know what to

I don't know if we should have parts in the catalog with XXX content in them.

I spent a lot of time researching this, but I cannot find anything definitive
to guide my actions on this request.
The set and box images that I can find seem to show only two yellow blankets/towels
of some sort, but the current inventory contains two yellow towels and one yellow
blanket. Therefore, I believe *something* is wrong. Whether there are supposed
to be only two towels or only two blankets or one of each is unknown. What makes
it even harder is that I cannot find any instructions or official part count
for this set to help me out.
The inventory on Peeron states that the set has two towels and no blankets and
was composed from a MISB set. That piece supports your claim to remove this blanket.
However, the blanket was added to the set by a past Inventory Administrator.
So, once again, we have conflicting data.
I don't know what the right thing to do here is, but my gut tells me not
to do anything without better evidence.
Therefore, this request will not be accepted at this time.

Hi Randy,
There is something wrong. I'm working on our inventory at Rebrickable to
try to get our part count correct too.
Here is a page from a LEGO Fall 2002 catalog showing the part count as 73.
Hope that helps you.

Thank you, Thea. I appreciate the post!
Unfortunately, the advertised piece count of 73 pieces is even *higher* than
the current inventory here. Looking at this request, I would have expected to
see a piece count of 71, but this throws yet another wrench into the mix.
I wish these older sets geared towards girls were easier to get a hold of.
I will let you know if I find out anything else.
Cheers,
Randy

The BrickLink piece count is currently 72 parts and 2 minifigs for a total of
74.
These are only 1 part "minifigs" because currently the clothing is accounted
for in the regular inventory.
If you remove the cot blanket, which really doesn't belong, you will have
a total of 73.
I found the missing part for the Rebrickable inventory - the handwarmer/muff.
Now to find someone who owns one to submit a photo of it to Rebrickable.
Thea

Paint myself embarassed...I forgot to add in the minifigs! (smh) Thanks for that
kick in the pants.
Well, it is looking more and more like that blanket did not belong. I think I
will end up removing it based upon the advertised piece count and the Peeron
inventory.
I am feeling a bit sorry now that I had already rejected this request. Oh well,
I can only do so much with the information that I have at any given time.
In any case, thanks so much for your help, Thea!
Cheers,
Randy

Two more comments:

I don't have any evidence for them coming in later releases.
- I had previously submitted a request for adding one red 1*1 tile as extra.
I gave a reliable evidence. My other inv. change requests were accepted using

Reza -
What about the clip lights? I see the thick-ring versions in the photos here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=558274
The other Inventory Admin, Paul, is also the one who added the alternates to
the inventory back in 2011.
Did this set ever come with the thin-ring versions?

1-2) Both of mine were black

6-7) I got 5 As and 6 Bs.
I have a few pics that I took to document it as I sorted it out, but not sealed. I also got 8 light gray 2736 and none of the similar parts. That doesn't seem to line up with the alternates here, but I don't know how to work on that.

Note to Paul:
Do not yet do anything with this inventory. It is one of the few known redesigned
sets in the catalog that has not yet been updated using Match ID 99. Before we
even consider these changes, the inventory will need to be updated to the new

I agree with your assessment to add these as Counterparts, but for right now
we are not adding separate plastic parts from plastic sheets to the Counterparts

From the Additional Information About Extra Items section of the Inventory
Sections: Regular, Extra, Counterpart, and Alternate help page:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562#extraItems
Removing or Changing Extra Items - Extra parts can vary depending on when
and where a set was manufactured, meaning that some new sets may include them
and others may not. The quantity of these extra parts can also vary. Extra parts
are typically not removed or reduced in quantity unless it can be determined
that they were originally added or increased in error.
These extra parts were found in some sealed copies of this set so they will not
be removed and the requests will not be accepted.

My current one is used, but it came boxed and complete with the expected vintage
of parts.
My original set, back in the late 70s, was new.
|
Thank you very much for that information. Along with the Peeron inventory, I
think that I am convinced of the inclusion of two of the patterned bricks.
I have one more question, though. How many plain yellow 1 x 6 bricks do you have
in the set? One of the models in the instructions uses seven 1 x 6 yellow bricks
which the BrickLink inventory confirms, but the Peeron inventory states that
only six came in the set.
Thanks again,

The instructions show a small black rubber belt. Set 8720 has several rubber

I think 8720 was updated over time. The inventory pictured on the box shows three

the box artwork was updated over time, also. The contents may have changed when

Comments from Submitter:
There was no way to get a sealed pic. They weren't in a bag. They were loose in the plastic sorting tray in the section that had the long technic bricks. They are not in the instructions for the primary build, but the instructions call for a K2 rubber band if you want to connect it to a motor. Go figure?
|
I have found a lot of images of this set sealed, and it is apparent that every
one of these sets came with rubber bands. In many of the sets, I can see at least
two. The problem is in determining how many of the rubber bands were included
regularly and how many were possible extras.
The part count on the boxes of some of the sets show "271 PCS". Since the inventory
is already over that number, LEGO did not count some of the pieces in the box
as "pieces". So, we cannot look to this number for any guidance with respect
to the rubber bands at this point.
This leaves us with the instructions and box. The box states that the set can
be motorized with set 8720, and the instructions confirm this. The instructions
show that the set can be motorized using one rubber band. However, set 8720 came
with rubber bands, also. So, did the rubber band in the instructions come from
this set or set 8720? Who knows. (shrugs)
In the end, I think I agree with Paul that one of the rubber bands should be
made a regular part since the set seems to have always been packaged with them
and only one is shown to be used in the instructions.

Randy

Source: Sealed set contents (my own collection).
I'm assuming the inventory was done from sealed set contents, but without checking the instructions. None of the locomotive variants needs more than 7 dark gray/3 trans-neon green/2 trans-red 1x1 round plates, so we have 1 extra for every color.

https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/4162296.pdf
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/4162297.pdf
Should I also change the other color bricks inventories? (I don't own them, but obviously they need the same changes.)

Set polybag states "Cont. 103 pcs/pzs/pçs". Also, LEGO replacement parts service
confirms 7x dark gray 4073, 3x trans-neon green 4073, and 2x trans-red 4073.
Request accepted.
We can look for evidence for the others before changing them.
Cheers,
Randy

Should include white on eye piece. Can provide scans of original polybag to show this was as intended.

There are obviously two different versions of the polybag since one of them has
the older-style LEGO BASIC branding on it and one of them has the newer-style
LEGO SYSTEM BASIC branding. I wouldn't be surprised if this part was changed
when the set packaging was changed. I will need to do a little research on this
to see what the right way to proceed is.

The first variant has three hols on each end as it shows on the instructions.
It was used in starting 1993 for this set and 4547-1. In later productions, the
later variant with one hole on each end was produced coming with this set too.
See

The set you linked to shows proof for the one-hole version, but I do not feel
comfortable to add the three-hole version just based on the instructions.
At this time,
* | | 2972 Train Base 6 x 34 Split-Level with Bottom Tubes (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Train
Marked for Deletion |
is basically a catch-all entry since it can include both versions of the part
as the catalog note states. Therefore, the inventory is technically not incorrect
until the one-hole version gets its own catalog entry and this part gets marked
for deletion.
Any additional thoughts on this, Paul?

I didn't find photos of sealed set contents here. However, based on my recent inventory change requests, I think the transition from 3650a to 3650b is quite clear now.
- 3650a was included in sets until 1991. We have proof that two sets (8074 and 8856) released in 1991 came with 3650a in early and 3650b in later copies.
- 3650b was included in a copy of set 8837 which was produced in March 1992.
- During my research, I didn't find 3650a in any set released after 1991.
(If this request is accepted, I will continue with the remaining wrong and undetermined entries of this part.)

Jonas -
Paul and I have discussed this, and we are not going to accept this request at
this time.
Due to the very narrow transition window of this part's variants as well
as the obvious unknown supplies of stock for each variant that might have been
used in different markets, it is better if we wait for better evidence that may
come along.
You have done some amazing research and detective work up to this point, and
we very much thank you for that!
Cheers,
Randy

Hi Alexei -
I did not receive any images of this set through email.
Right now, the set is just in a pending status. It will remain in a pending status
until an image of the set is uploaded on the following page:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=S
In the first text box behind "Item No:", you would type in 9680, and in
the second text box behind "Item No:", you would type 2.
Once the image of the set is uploaded to BrickLink, the catalog admins will be
able to approve the set.
After the set has been approved, we can start on an inventory for it. As requested
in an earlier post, please send high quality photos of the entire parts list
cards that were included in your set to inv@bricklink.com
Thanks,
Randy

Could anyone explain please why are leaflets (instructions) for each minifigure

It is due to the fact that each collectible minifigure is treated as a separate
set in the BrickLink catalog. Since each set entry in the BrickLink catalog automatically
has an instructions entry added to it on creation, each collectible minifigure
set gets an instructions entry added to it on creation. It would be wrong to
say that each one of these sets does not have instructions included with it,
since each collectible minifigure does indeed come with the leaflet. Therefore,
each collectible minifigure set gets the leaflet as its instructions.
Cheers,

Thanks Randy, makes sense.
And I would a little bit modify my question then.
Anyone noticed that especially for HP collectables are there some differences
?
From what I found it seems all those HP leaflets are just the same.
But I might overlooked something, so I am curious whether anyone could confirm
they are just the same ?
Thx,
J.

The leaflet is the exact same for most of the collectible minifigure series.
Sorry that I can't speak specifically about the HP ones, but I would highly
doubt that there would be any difference in that series.

* Add 4 Part 3242 Light Gray Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Straight
|
The source is from a NIB set sold on Ebay in Italy.
I have also seen used lots containing 4.5v sets+7822 and 4 extra conducting rails.
This set is advertised 4.5v in catalogs 1980-2 but TLG included 4 straight conducting
rails too so at the end, it was both working with either 4.5v or 12v layout.
|
I'm not convinced that this set would originally come with conducting rails.
It seems more likely that this seller would throw those rails in with the set
as a service for buyers who might want to use it with a 12V layout. I don't
remember my own set coming with these rails.
|
This is the only MISB set I have seen. I contacted the seller and asked him more
photos. He didn't know about Lego much and didn't have other train-related
staff. He was certainly not a Lego dealer, that I am sure.
We would never know if ALL copies contained these extra conducting rails.
The problem is that I cannot trust used lots at all as conducting rails are so
common and people have them. However, I attach a used lot containing only 4.5V
sets sold on Ebay in US where 12v train were not sold. We see 3 straight conducting
rails and there may be one extra (or maybe lost?).
I do have another set of photos of an NIB copy but the quality is bad and we
cannot see much.
|
I also point two things:
1) how did the seller know he had to add 4 extra conducting rails but they are
included in peeron, bricklink,...? why did he do that? I remember he did not
claim the set was complete. In the advertisement, he mentioned something like
"all bags are sealed. Not sure if complete"
2) The conducting rails have contact holes. These are produced between 1980-87.
But they came in two versions. The first version didn't have plastic reinforcements
below the notches (1980-84) but since 1985 they added extra plastic (to all types,
including straight, curved, cross, points,...). See
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1078534
In the photos we can see two conducting rails don't have reinforcements (the
other two are not visible). This is also why I trusted them.
|
Ok. Maybe you are right about these. But if we add these I think they should
be added as extra parts and not regular parts. They are not shown anywhere on
the box art or instructions. That would fit the definition of extra parts.
|
I am not convinced about this change request, either, but if we do end up accepting
it, they will most likely need to be added as Extra Items with an accompanying
Inventory Note.
Cheers,
Randy

I got a few different ones as freebies in an order. It was a nice surprise. The

Well from that image, the one on the left looks like Trans-Very Lt Blue with

Both of these requests will not be accepted since the versions of the parts you
are asking to change are already listed as Alternate Items in the set inventory.
You can see this by looking at the Match ID (MID) numbers next to the parts in
the Regular Items section of the set inventory and linking them to the parts
in the Alternate Items section of the set inventory that have the same Match
ID (MID) numbers.

My first reply to you was just an answer to your question. I do not agree with
the inconsistency, also, but I am not a catalog associate yet who can do anything
about it. I would be happy to have Marek add it to the Catalog Roadmap for consideration
of being worked on, but it would be rather low on the priority list. Although,
it would not be a big issue to tackle, so could be done rather quickly.

My set contained dark. Much too late for a sealed pic, but I've had it under control since opening it.

The set probably always contained Trans-Dark Pink. Since your set was sealed
and the original inventory has had so many problems corrected in it over time,
I think I will remove the Trans-Pink one altogether. If a Trans-Pink one is ever
found in the future, we can add it back in.
