Comments from Submitter:
Bought the set new from LEGO in 2011 and my part inventory only has the jumpers without grooves for this color. Included possible alt pieces for used sets.


We only add alternates to sets when those pieces actually came in a new set.
Since there is no proof that the others ever came in the set, they will not be
included in the inventory.

Cheers,
Randy

  As someone not in any LEGO groups (or at least not using my BL email address),
and am still getting the scam emails, I am certain it related to either the hack
or fake contact/orders on BL that can harvest seller emails. Had a lot of these
orders, immediate cancel request, and no contact there after a few months back.
I know it was to phish my seller info as often as the pattern was repeated exactly.
But even messages we reply to can do this as the system still lonks our email
to those. It really should not do this unless an order is placed, or even confirmed
as paid by the system (instant or seller marked). Simply put, contact info should
remain better protected until a transaction is deemed legit. BL is largely an
open book for all seller info if the party wanting to phish it knows how the
site works.

Is there any need at all for buyers/sellers to see each other's email contact
info even on legitimate orders? Maybe I've been using instant checkout and
the pay now button for so long I have forgotton, but it has been a while since
a buyer has made a payment directly to my email address. Since BrickLink implemented
sales tax collection, all (at least all of my) payments are negotiated through
PayPal Marketplace.

Maybe other payment methods require an email address.

I know some people send photos via email (if only we could attach photos to a
BL message!).

I'd be perfectly happy to have "public-facing email address" be an
option that I can enable/disable at will.


You have some very good points here. The whole communication architecture on
BrickLink is definitely in need of some upgrades. They may want to start looking
into it sooner rather than later.

For example, every transaction I have on eBay has everything done through the
eBay platform. There is never any communication outside of the platform between
myself and anyone that I purchase something from. In that way, the user on the
other end remains completely anonymous. It would be a good model to look into.

Interesting theory. But the scammers that caused the November 3 incident are
the same ones that caused the problems last night, and the variant merge project
was not exposed to the public before January 2024.

As much as companies tend not to boast about the number of online attacks they
receive, we do see a remarkable increase in scammer activity across the board
- throughout many companies and across different industries. To us, it does not
feel like BrickLink is being singled out.


Good to know. Let's just hope that our beloved BrickLink can make it through
largely unscathed. I am sure I am not the only one that doesn't want a repeat
of November 2023 to happen, but everytime someone falls for one of these things,
we get closer to that happening again. I do feel bad for those getting targeted,
but people need to be cautious.

RandyF changed it just moments before you posted.

Then why doesn't that show up in the change log for the part?


When things are adjusted behind the scenes on catalog entries, they are not recorded
in public logs.

And judging from the people who are receiving phishing emails (e.g I'm not),
the phisher is probably part of an online BrickLink group somewhere else (Facebook?
Discord?) that all of you are also part of or maybe they ordered from all of
the phishees in the past and already have all of your contact information to
use.

Comments from Submitter:
Wait for colour approval on part 31368pb01

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this message. Please explain.

I see no reason not to accept this change at this point. The part color and sticker
are right.

/Jan


Actually, there are no instructions for this set, so the only thing that shows
stickers is the packaging and set images. On that packaging and in the set images,
it shows the small heart sticker with crown used on the bed, not the large heart
sticker with crown. Therefore, this part should be marked for deletion since
there is no basis for it having an entry. Basically, the stickers in this set
were meant to be used however the builder saw fit to use them.

Cheers,
Randy

Oh, there are two heart stickers? I didn't realize because the photo of the
sticker sheet is of an incomplete sheet with that large sticker missing. Thanks
for noticing.

/Jan

The sticker sheet should probably be marked for deletion.
How did a sheet missing stickers get past the admins?


There is no need to mark a sticker sheet entry for deletion unless it always
had more than one version listed under one entry and needs to be split. All of
the information necessary to list a sticker sheet properly is in the item name.


Some sticker sheets are not easy to get ahold of to get a new image, so the catalog
uses what image it can get. There have been a number of sticker sheets in the
catalog over time that did not have complete sticker sheets in the image or no
image at all, but quite a few have been replaced or added over time. Maybe one
day, this one will, too.

Cheers,
Randy

  Hello,

I ask for your help because I am stuck in a grotesque situation.

A person who just signed up to bricklink was unable to read the description for
item 5306bc069
Black Electric, Wire with Brick 2 x 2 x 2/3 Pair, 69 Studs

He said that since it's depicted as "PAIR" I should have sent two.
He left me a negative feedback and expected me to send a second for free.

I tried to explain that he was totally wrong and that you do not leave a hasty
feedback this way, to no avail.

So I wrote to BL for feedback removal, and they denied it.
The user wanted me to refund, so I asked him to send me the part, and I would
have refunded him.

He shipped, and in the proof of shipping I saw that he mispelled my surname,
thus when the package came, the postman found no one with the misspelled surname
and the package came back.

Now, when the package comes a second time I will:

- Have lost a lot of time behind this user, and money also.
- gained a negative feedback that is totally unfair and the administrarion refuses
to remove

Is this so easy for a newcomer to ruin the feedback ratio of a 14 years history
bricklink shop? I'm not worried about the single negative, but about the
power that is given to people unable to understand totally what they are doing.

*

I have updated the names for all 5306* wires to not include the word "pair"
in them. Please point the buyer to this thread if they need more information.

Cheers,
Randy

Thanks, still I have a negative for no reasons, as the picture depicted the correct
item...


That's why I said to point the buyer to this thread. Then maybe we can better
explain the situation and why they are incorrect in their interpretation of the
item. I am hopeful that it would give them the push needed to remove the negative
feedback.

  Noob (and probably silly) question but if I buy a set new, then part it out and
sell it on BL is it ok that the parts won’t be in original packaging? It will
just be individually wrapped and in new condition (never used as it went straight
from the original packaging into a seperate bag).
Thanks!


Yes, that is how it is done.

  Hi all,

This question comes up often on the facebook group "BrickLink Worldwide Buyers
and Sellers"

Can minifigures be sold as new when they are assembled?

On the help page for "item for sale condition" (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102)
it states the fololowing:

New Minifigures - Minifigures are brand new, taken directly from new sets
or purchased as new in another form such as accessory packs or Pick A Brick and
have been handled only for sorting. Minifigures may be listed as new either assembled
or unassembled.


There are 2 ways that people read this:
1. Minifigures can be assembled and still be sold as new as long as the part
comes straight from the package.
2. Minifigures must be unassembled unless they come assembled from the factory.


What is the correct way to interpret this 1 or 2?


1


  In case 1 is correct what is stopping people from selling minifigures that have
been displayed for a few years as new?


Being displayed for years is _not_ "have been handled only for sorting".


  If number 2 is correct than the help page should be rewritten so there would
be no more confusion.


PS. @Admin, I am not sure if I put it in the correct topic so feel free to move
it if necessary.

And how is assembling "only handled for sorting"?


It isn't, which is why the guideline is contradictory in its own right. It
is a relic from the past that should probably be better defined at this point.
However, that is the current definition and the way it is currently interpreted
by BrickLink.

In Buying, BrickBonder writes:
  How many mistakes in an order do you all tolerate before contacting a seller?


None.

If it is a glaring issue (e.g. used sold as new), I will ask for a refund.

If it is something simple (e.g. a missing part), I will just send a friendly
notice to the seller so that they can adjust their inventory accordingly. When
I do this, sellers have always been very appreciative.

However, I rarely get errors in orders. Order from stores you know are good and
keep them on a short list to check when it comes time to purchase something again.


  For egregious cases the decision is easy, but I just received yet another order
leaving me with a frustrating decision to make. I understand quantity errors,
but what gets to me are the missing lots that occur in roughly 50% of all orders
that have missing lots that bother me.

In this case, I probably will not say anything, because only 2 of 60 lots are
missing, they are not minifigures, and because I can get them from Lego.com for
$4 total. However, the decision is still annoying because one of the lots is
for right wedges to match left wedges that did get included.

Notes:
-Yes, I have tried ordering fewer lots, but it seems you have to keep it under
20 lots in order to prevent most seller mistakes. Those smaller orders are usually
not cost effective for me after factoring in shipping costs.
-If you receive an order containing a printout with a hand-written check mark
next to each lot, consider favoriting that seller. Those sellers are rare and
almost never make mistakes.

Comments from Submitter:
The parts listed are all more commonly found in flat silver than they are in pearl light gray. It would be incredibly unlikely that the parts are more common in flat silver because of set 7179-1, where most appear as an alternate, because that set was a limited release and significantly less common than set 7168-1, as well as this part #64251 "Bionicle Fist with Axle Hole - 3 Fingers" is more commonly sold in Flat Silver than it is in pearl light gray. As that part did not appear in set 7179-1, it could not be from that set and must be an alternate from this one.


Sealed set unboxing showing all pieces in the lovely new flat silver color at
the time:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUvDkP1uIVg

All of the pearl light gray pieces are well established as having come in the
first production run of this set, so all flat silver pieces are indeed alternates
for the later production run.

I had a brand new brutaka set that came with flat dark gold "chronicler's staff" instead of pearl light gold


The submitter of this request never responded to any messages for further information.

I cannot find any evidence that this set ever came with

* 
48253 Bionicle Weapon Chronicler's Staff
Parts: BIONICLE {Flat Dark Gold}

If it did, it would have most likely been a packing error since the color scheme
for this set uses exclusively pearl gold and not flat dark gold. The PCC in the
instructions also confirms that the part was pearl gold.

Without any hard evidence, this request will not be accepted.

The submitter of this request never responded to any messages concerning it and
others like it.

The transition year for part 6628 is currently known to be 2003, which is the
release year of the set in question. So, without hard evidence, this request
cannot be accepted.

735 Parts, 8 Minifigures, 2007
Sets: Space: Mars Mission

* Delete 3 Part 2540 Orange Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle on Side - Free Ends

Comments from Submitter:
Part not used in build but listed in instruction inventory list. (Can be seen in the prototype build with the blocked gun tube.) ONLY 1 needs to be removed. Form won't let me.


This request will not be accepted.

After further research, the following parts were found to be included in this
set and are all shown on the official parts list in the original instructions
and included in the official piece count of the set:

1x
 
Part No: 30055  Name: Fence 1 x 4 x 2 Spindled with 2 Studs
* 
30055 Fence 1 x 4 x 2 Spindled with 2 Studs
Parts: Fence {Black}
3x
 
Part No: 3710  Name: Plate 1 x 4
* 
3710 Plate 1 x 4
Parts: Plate {Blue}
1x
 
Part No: 2540  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle on Side - Free Ends
* 
2540 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle on Side - Free Ends
Parts: Plate, Modified {Orange}

However, none of these pieces are actually needed to build the model according
to the instructions.

According to our inventory definitions, all of these parts should be located
in the Regular Items section:

  Hi all,

I have discovered that the LEGO House Tile has 2 versions, see below.

 
Part No: 4162pb110  Name: Tile 1 x 8 with White 'LEGO House' Pattern (Undetermined Type)
* 
4162pb110 Tile 1 x 8 with White 'LEGO House' Pattern (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Tile, Decorated {Black}
Marked for Deletion

Appeared in sets 40502, 40501, 4000010 and 21037, with PCC 6089148.

And it was updated to:

 
Part No: 4162pb306  Name: Tile 1 x 8 with White 'LEGO House', Thin Font with Arrowhead 'G' Pattern
* 
4162pb306 Tile 1 x 8 with White 'LEGO House', Thin Font with Arrowhead 'G' Pattern
Parts: Tile, Decorated {Black}

And this newer version appears in sets 40503, 40563, 40504 and 40505, with PCC
6320270.

Once the newer tile has been approved I will update the set inventories above
accordingly, and add a relationship between the 2 tiles.

I have put in a request for the version currently in the catalogue to change
it's name and remove it's second PCC.

Any questions just let me know!

Thanks,
Josh


Good catch, Josh! 👍

This tile will definitely need a proper split so that the items in stores can
be relocated to proper catalog entries. If we just renamed the current one, then
a lot of items under that entry would be wrong. Give us a bit to get to this.

Cheers,
Randy

  Good afternoon everyone,

Quite new with all the catalog requests:
I added three new rare pieces I would like to sell. It's been quite a while
now and nothing has happened.

Is there a way to ask someone kindly to proceed with the upload?
I cannot sell these beautiful cloth patches until someone uploaded the items.


Greetings.
Barthon


Patience, young padawan.

We have mountains of work to do and not enough time to do it all, so things that
are not as important get inevitably pushed to a lower priority status. Gear items
that are rare and unlikely to have much effect in the marketplace are in those
lower tiers of priority, unfortunately. Therefore, it might be a little while
before we get to them still, but they will be gotten to.

Thanks for your understanding.

Cheers,
Randy

* Add 6 Part 4589b White Cone 1 x 1 with Top Groove (Alternate) (match ID 4)
* Add 2 Part 6126b Trans-Neon Orange Wave Rounded Straight with Bar End (Castle Dragon Flame / Seaweed / Water) (Alternate) (match ID 5)

* Change 2 Part Trans-Neon Orange 6126 Wave Rounded Straight with Bar End and Small Pins (Castle Dragon Flame / Seaweed / Water) {match ID 0 to 5}

Comments from Submitter:
My own set, not mixed with other sets. Pearl Light Gray 4497 spear, Flat Silver 3847 sword.


Information for the future, if necessary:

(1) Although 32064b in DBG was still hanging around in 2009 (it's last year),
I could find no evidence of 32064b ever coming in this book. Therefore, I have
removed 32064b from the inventory and placed 32064 in the Regular Items section.

(2) I could find no evidence that 4589 without the top groove ever came in this
book, and I highly doubt it ever did. Therefore, I have removed 4589 from the
inventory and placed 4589b in the Regular Items section.

(3) Evidence was found for both versions of 6126, so those can remain as is.

(4) Evidence was found for the spear and sword in pearl light gray. Prior change
requests in the past had proven the existence of the parts in flat silver.

Comments from Submitter:
store display from 2006


I am sorry to say that we will not accept change requests based on store display
models. There is no proof that store display models are constructed using the
same batch of parts used to assemble the sets in the plant.

Comments from Submitter:
Per the LEGO instruction manual, there are 5 pieces included in the box. However, one piece is used to make minifigure sw1252, so there are only 4 pieces spare to part-out.

I cannot find any evidence that shows there would be only a quantity of five

used in the set. In all online instruction manuals and all video reviews of the
set that I have watched, all six can clearly be seen to be used (four on the
solar panels, one behind the tile shooters, and one on the GNK droid).

The official LEGO inventory data also shows a quantity of six included with the
set.

Comments from Submitter:
I don't know if I filled it in correctly, I'm doing it for the first time, but brick number 30153 should be Trans-Neon Green

You filled it in ok, but you could also have done it with 1 line by using Change
instead of Add and Delete. For more info about submitting inventory change requests,
see our help page:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=215

May I know the source of this request. This inventory is submitted based on Parts
List, but the other 2 similar books also have this part in Trans-Yellow and those
inventories are submitted based on New Books.

Thanks,
Diana


The submitter of this request was never heard from again.

The other two versions of this book in the catalog both contain a trans-yellow
jewel and were both inventoried from "Sealed Set Contents". Also, the
main image for both of these other versions are real images of the books submitted
by the users who did the inventories of them. In one of those images, the jewel
can clearly be seen as trans-yellow, so there is no reason to doubt the inventories
of the other versions.

* 
b12cty06uk (Inv) City - Crooks on the Loose! (Softcover) (English - UK Edition)
Books: Activity Book: Town: City: Police

Since the image for the book in this request is just a stock image, there is
at least some reason to believe that the stock image shows the wrong color jewel
or is not color-balanced properly (the 2x8 plate is supposed to be tan but looks
neon yellow).

Barring no evidence to the contrary, this request has not been accepted.

Comments from Submitter:
Purchased sealed back in 2011.


From the change logs, 4623 was added as an alternate to 4623b on Jan 11, 2012.
At that time, 4623 was the "determined" entry for 4623a (only later added
to the catalog on Jul 18, 2020), so someone had 4623a in their set. Therefore,
I have returned 4623a to the inventory in the Regular Items section and made
4623b the alternate.

Likewise, 30237 was added as an alternate to 30237b on Aug 28, 2012. At that
time, 30237 was the "determined" entry for 30237a (only later added to
the catalog on Dec 3, 2022), so someone had 30237a in their set. Therefore, I
have returned 30237a to the inventory in the Regular Items section and made 30237b
the alternate.

The new version has not shown up in any sets yet, but we are on the lookout for
it. Once we know more about the new mould, we will either add the alternate item
number if it is similar enough to the old mould or add a new catalog entry. Until
that time, we must wait.

Unless you have the new mould already? In that case, we would need to see good
comparison images between it and the old mould.

Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:
This set was redesigned to use a different hook base and hook, and it is verified by the instruction books for the two versions of the set. Also, the cars in the regular items section were only included in very early releases of the first version of the set. They were replaced by the cars in the alternate items section in later releases of the first version of the set and the second version of the set.

7339-1 (Inv) Friendly Animal Bus
93 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 2006
Sets: DUPLO: Basic Set

* Add 1 Gear 4112773 Yellow Duplo Lid for Large Storage Bin with Wheels (#2581 and 2583)

Comments from Submitter:
even though i have no picture of the stickered bus, i really want to link all the duplo wheeled storage trucks at least by the lid to make it easier to see the related items. i now have a fire truck so i'll eventually with enough sun/warmth will be able to add some more images.


This lid is part of the packaging for the set, so it is naturally included under
the box entry for the set. Therefore, it does not need to be added to the inventory
as well. It is like a larger version of a Bionicle canister.

Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:
I own this set and can confirm these as alternate items.


I did a bunch of research on this set, and it looks like the set always came
with bright green pieces as far as I can tell. The set was produced for at least
7-8 years from sealed sets that I have found evidence for, and I can't find
one instance of the set coming with green pieces. Also, the official LEGO inventory
data for this set states that it comes with all bright green pieces. The eye
bricks in the set did change over the years, but nothing else looks like it ever
did. After I accept these requests and move them all to the regular section,
I will be making a change request to add the modern eye bricks as alternates
with photo evidence for all of them.

Cheers,
Randy

4816 is from the trailer hitch thing
4817 is from the main chassis

4819 is from the larger rear wheels
4546 is from the smaller wheels


Sorry that it took a little while to get to this one. The main undetermined entry
had to be split into six new specific entries, so I had to wait to get some time
to handle everything that entailed. The entry had been waiting for years to be
split, but this request gave me the momentum to get it done.

  Hi everyone,

One of the side effects of the variant merge project is that some of our more
advanced users began asking for Alternate Item IDs to be included in the catalog
download feature.

So we have added this field to the download - see attached images. Downloads
(as before) are available in either CSV or XML format.

By way of reminder, for the variant project we are adding all original item numbers
as alternates to make sure people are able to easily find parts where the number
has changed.


Another great little add-on. Keep them coming!

Comments from Submitter:
Missing counterpart black slopes with red and gray sticker


This request will not be accepted.

The proper procedure to add a stickered Counterpart to BrickLink and a set inventory
is as follows:

(1) Add the stickered part to the BrickLink catalog:

https://www.bricklink.com/wantedCatalog.asp?catType=P

Help on adding an item to the BrickLink catalog:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=71

(2) Add an image to the BrickLink catalog for the stickered part:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=P

Help on adding an image to the BrickLink catalog:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=87

(3) Fill out an Inventory Change Request to add the stickered part to the set
inventory after it is approved by a Catalog Associate or Catalog Administrator:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp?itemType=S

----------

Here is a great tutorial that BrickLink member jennnifer created to help others
with this process:

Comments from Submitter:
Wait for colour approval on part 31368pb01

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this message. Please explain.

I see no reason not to accept this change at this point. The part color and sticker
are right.

/Jan


Actually, there are no instructions for this set, so the only thing that shows
stickers is the packaging and set images. On that packaging and in the set images,
it shows the small heart sticker with crown used on the bed, not the large heart
sticker with crown. Therefore, this part should be marked for deletion since
there is no basis for it having an entry. Basically, the stickers in this set
were meant to be used however the builder saw fit to use them.

Cheers,
Randy

* Change 2 Part Black 4865 Panel 1 x 2 x 1 {match ID 0 to 1}

Comments from Submitter:
I add as alternate but it might be that 4865 was not used in this set, the decorated parts with sticker show the rounded corner too.


Well, the original inventory was submitted by a former Catalog Administrator
from "Sealed Set Contents", so I would like to assume that they got it
correct.

This is a part that eventually needs the 4865a version added to the catalog so
that the 4865 entry can be made undetermined.

Therefore, I will accept this request as is for now.

Cheers,
Randy

No wheels in this tanker.


This request will not be accepted since the wheel assemblies came with the set
so that it could be played with on land instead of in water. Attached is an image
of the section of the instructions that show this.

  Wow, that would make searching quite easier to not miss what you are looking
for:

[Catalog] Fixed Color Guide Parts listings to show the part images in the color

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catID=7&catXrefLevel=0&colorPart=86&catType=P


YES!! Finally!!

This has been asked for over and over and over for at least the last five years,
so it looks absolutely amazing to actually see it come into existence!

I just browsed a ton of pages just to look at the beauty of it all. Magnificent!
It makes finding images that are missing for certain colors or images that
need to be tweaked to look better light years easier to find. That will save
a lot of time for those that like to improve the look of the catalog.

It's the little things like this that make a huge difference to users: things
that fix, enhance, or simplify core functionality of the site. More of this,
please!

I am seriously ecstatic over here about this!

There is an issue with the image upload. Try adding the link without an image.

The image upload was just fixed last week.


So, it only took five months for the fix. That is pretty fast for BrickLink speeds.


Actually, the links image issue was reported in June of 2021. Definitely one
of the longer fixes.




Well, congratulations are in order none-the-less. Anything that gets fixed is
