I have been finding more and more parts are coming packaged with a box/envelope/polybag
clearly marked with unique number code. Instruction envelopes, electronics boxes,
the white cardboard boxes that separate parts in larger sets, etc. I don't
think we are only trying to differentiate small cardboard sleeves from the 1,2,3...
marked polybags you are referring to.
I would rather wait until our site can handle these types of parts/packaging
better.

Honestly, the only reason I care is because LEGO decided to pack the Left and
the Right wing in set 71753 in to 1 cardboard sleeve. I want to store and sell
them together (I made a super lot). I don't want to unpack them because
then I've got to work out which is left and which is right and keep them
flat and yada yada yada. It's 1000% easier to keep them in the box and if
the set inventory listed them as coming in a box together, then maybe people
would buy them that way instead of buying them separately.
I don't care if the x71 rubber band comes in a box because there's just
the one in the box and if someone orders it, I can send the box, or not send
the box and no one cares. String, I might care because I'd be super annoyed
if someone sold me the string and just balled it up and put it in a bag.

We don't want to. 
|
At least an honest response.
| |
Adding cardboard sleeves to the catalog was an idea originated and initiated
by me to alleviate sellers having to constantly ask in the forums over the years
what is in a specific cardboard sleeve. That was the intended purpose of the
entries, and the entries serve that purpose by having inventories.
The reason we have strict definitions for the inventory sections is because we
are trying to force the site into a certain direction, which is eventually having
two inventories for each set: what a new set contains, and what a used set contains.
|
what does this even mean?
| | We do not want the counterparts area to be a dumping ground for anything that
doesn't fit the other sections, because that would cause a bunch of rework
in the future if our vision comes to fruition. The counterparts section has a
specific purpose just like the others, and we are going to stick by our definitions
of the sections. This is why the cardboard sleeve entries all state what sets
the sleeves come in instead of being included in inventories. It may not be the
solution you would like, but it is the solution we have chosen.

The luggabeast is an item assembled from parts in the regular items section,
i.e. it meets the current rules perfectly.
(However, those large assemblies were added as an experiment back in 2018. We
don't add similar assemblies anymore nowadays.)
|
Then why keep the old ones?
| | | |
Set 6264 has
listed in the parts, but it only came with 1. One of the horns is part of the
set (and listed in the main part list), but the other two parts of the sprue
are used for the minifigures. That probably needs to be corrected,
|
Yes, that's a flaw of the current inventory system. We wish we had an option
to list minifigures similar to counterparts. Then, all of the minifigure parts
would just be listed as single parts in the inventory along with the correct
number of sprues.
| | but I feel
like parts on a sprue are no different that cloth in a sleeve.
|
See my other answer. A complete sprue is counted and listed in the official parts
lists as one part. That's not the case for cardboard sleeves - they are just
a packaging, and the parts that come in the sleeve are the actual parts that
are listed in official parts lists.
|
That's my point. The sprue and the sleeve are both just packaging. There
is NO reason to include either one. You talk about official part lists, yet
on Bricklink, we include a variety of different things (stickered items, complete
turntables, luggabeasts) that are not on "official part lists", so why the exception
for sleeves? Why even have them listed at all? I feel like if they are going
to be listed as parts, they should at least be connected to the set inventory.
| |
| | At bare minimum
there should be some indication on the set page that the set originally came
that way.
|
Certain parts, like cloth parts, strings, and rubber bands, always come in cardboard
sleeves nowadays. I don't see why it would be necessary to indicate that
anywhere.
If you need to know which and how many cardboard sleeves are included in a certain
set, I'd suggest searching on Youtube for unboxing and building videos.
|
That seems pretty glib. I could probably just search up a lot of information
that is presently on Bricklink by searching YouTube for unboxing and building
videos. Come on.
Bricklink changes countless items on a regular basis. Handles become bar handles,
x169 becomes 30191, satin white becomes satin trans-clear, etc. I once complained
about part names being changed and was suggested to just use the numbers, those
don't change. Surprise, they do.
The catalog is what Bricklink makes it. So for Bricklink to say, "we bothered
to make this part designation for cardboard sleeves, but can't put it in
a set inventory because by the most absolute strictest definition of counterpart
(which we totally decided what the definition is) a cardboard sleeve is not a
counterpart."
Just change the definition of counterpart to include cardboard sleeves.

It's a great reference for sellers to be able to look up a cardboard sleeve

I get that, but for boxes that come with different parts in them, I'd rather
leave the parts in the boxes. For Rubber Bands, I leave the parts in the box,
but there's only one in the box. String that's wrapped around a piece
of cardboard doesn't get unwrapped, but I don't list it as being on cardboard,
it just is. With these two wing parts, I feel like there should be an entry
because there's two. Maybe that's where the line should be drawn, if
there's multiple items in 1 box.
If I'm buying parts, I would really like to know if parts in a set came in
a box, as I'd want to seek that out. I don't see why adding a counterpart
is a bad thing.
-jed

Cardboard sleeves don't meet the criteria for counterparts. See
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562
Besides that, BrickLink (as a marketplace) doesn't want to encourage sellers
to list cardboard sleeves in their stores instead of the actual parts. Imagine
you'd go to a store and instead of parts like rubber bands, capes, flags
etc. you would just see a long list of cardboard sleeves with no indication about
the contents, and you would need to open all the inventories to find out what
parts are actually included.
The cardboard sleeve entries are here so you can check what they contain (without
opening them), but not for commercial activity or anything else.
|
that would make sense if all the cardboard sleeves weren't unique to the
number Lego puts on the box. I don't know if that's the case. Looking
at it from a buyer's perspective, I would absolutely want to know if parts
originally came in a sleeve as I would want to try to get them that way. I don't
see how parts in a cardboard sleeve are in any way different than luggabeast
from set 75148. All the parts for Luggabeast are still listed in the main set
inventory. There's no stickers, so "Parts which are either assembled from
or permanently changed from parts in the Regular Items section" wouldn't
include that either, but here we are.
Set 6264 has
listed in the parts, but it only came with 1. One of the horns is part of the
set (and listed in the main part list), but the other two parts of the sprue
are used for the minifigures. That probably needs to be corrected, but I feel
like parts on a sprue are no different that cloth in a sleeve. At bare minimum
there should be some indication on the set page that the set originally came
that way.
The only situation I can understand not listing the sleeve is if the number on
the sleeve isn't unique to the parts and colors inside AND the parts inside
can't be determined by not opening the sleeve (like seeing through the holes
in the box).

Thanks!
I've been wondering, and please don't take this as any kind of criticism
of how our catalog is being run, but why aren't sets inventoried here faster?
Are we still depending on users to inventory the sets? With Lego owning Bricklink,
I thought the inventory lists would be updated almost at release, either by
Lego supplying a part list, or supplying actual sets for verification.

|
and why not after wedge in wedge 6 x 2 Left to assist sorts on wedge 12 x 3 Left
|
With two numbers, we always want the smaller number coming first ("6 x 2" _before_
"12 x 3"), so those don't need the extra spaces as text sorts handle that
just fine. With only one number, we want the smaller numbers _also_ coming first
("6L" _before_ "12L"), so those need the extra space to allow the text sort to
keep them in ascending _numerical_ order.
|
then would you want spaces for wedge plate so that wedge, plate 2 x 2 Left comes
before wedge, plate 12 x 6 left? And why the space after the 2 x 2 in the wedge,
plate 2 x 2 cut corner?

makes sense, but why after the wedge, plate 2 x 2?
|
and why not after wedge in wedge 6 x 2 Left to assist sorts on wedge 12 x 3 Left

I download to excel. Some examples would be:
Technic, Axle 4L has 1 extra space between Axle and 4L
Wheel 8mm D. x 6mm has 1 extra space between Wheel and 8mm
Bar 4L (Lightsaber Blade / Wand) has 1 extra space after Bar
Wedge, Plate 2 x 2 Cut Corner has 1 extra space after 2 x 2
String, Cord Thin 50cm for some reason has 3 extra spaces between Thin and 50cm
this is only a few of the many instances I've come across.
Brickstock had this issue the entire time I used them. But I switched and noticed
that Brickstore did not have this issue. when looking directly at the part
pages, there's no extra spaces in the names there. Nor do I see this when
downloading the catalog from Bricklink. I did notice that the description of
the item in the "info" box does NOT have the extra space.
Anyone know what the deal with the extra spaces are?
