According to this
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=71
"Minifigs - The catalog should only contain minifigs that came in an official
LEGO set or that can be attributed to an official LEGO program, display, activity
or event, regardless of whether the minifig is actually publicly distributed
during or at such program, display, activity or event.
The minifig item should not include hand-held accessories or items defined as
utensils, with the exception of robot winder keys. But do include all other accessories
definable as footgear (flippers, snow shoes, etc.), neckgear (generally defined
as items requiring the removal of the head in order to be placed over the neck,
such as capes, armor, backpacks, etc.) and headgear (hair, helmets, etc.), and
assembled parts serving as such, when these are shown attached to the minifig
in official LEGO set instructions. For instructions with images showing the
minifig in a play scenario, refer only to the portion of the instructions
concerned with assembling the minifig. If no official instructions were produced,
then illustrations on packaging or other marketing materials directly related
to the minifig may be used instead for this guide purpose."
so
[m=sw475]
in instruction for set
is shown build with helmet first
and
[m=sw475a]
in instruction for set
is shown build with hair first
Pages from instructions attached
There is more such situations
Ezra for example
[m=sw574]
[m=sw574a]

| This set is under the category "All Items, Sets, Harry Potter, Sorcerer's
Stone, Train, 9V" but there aren't any electronic parts according the BL
parts list so it shouldn't be categorized under "9V" as far as I can tell.

This has been on my wish list for years, it's high time BL instituted this.
Especially since Superlots are now excluded by default.
I remember asking about this in the past and if I remember correctly, the answer
had something to do with too many color combos for the catalog to handle. That
was a very, very long time ago, I could be misremembering the reason.

Oh, what I would give for an edit function...
By notify, I mean some sort of notification similar to pending orders etc, not
just a small line at the bottom of the inventory screen which is easily missed.
I know its also shown on my profile page, but I never look at that screen. Also,
a notification of a change that doesn't lead to the original item being deleted
but still may need some attention from sellers.

You will be notified if your store has any items that are marked for deletion.

Yes, we could move your listings, but that would defeat the whole purpose of
the transition. The hard part isn't changing 2453 to 2453a on your store
inventory page. The correct way involves physically locating all your parts in
this variant group and sorting them.
Btw, there have always been such changes in the catalog. But it is true, we have
been increasing the frequency a bit as of late.

As to this last question - the entry for 2453 had a description of "Brick 1 x
1 x 5", so it did not have "hollow" specified. Most sellers used it to sell the
hollow variant, but technically it could contain both. Moving all 2453's
automatically to 2453a would cause issues, as likely there are many listed under
2453 with a solid stud.
Niek.
|
And this in turn will eventually lead to splitting 2453a Blocked Open Stud /
Hollow Stud into 2 subsequent types as users come up with builds that can only
be built with the Blocked Open Stud type.

set inventories, parts listed with the partout feature will be pretty accurate
without a lot of manual sorting.
|
All of the inventory changes being accepted seem to be lumping all left-hand
flags pre-2008 and all right-hand flags 2008-present, not around 2004 as you
say in your post. Are we sure the mold was changed at an exact point for these
flags? Are all of these sets being checked or just being changed on a whim? There
must have been an overlap in mold type somewhere.
|
I think you may be on to something. The first I can see of a newer flag in set
images is this from 2009:
The images on Brickset are big enough to see the flag in detail.
So perhaps there was a mistake in the catalog note that exchanged Knights Kingdom
II (2004-2006) for Fantasy Era castle (2007-2009). For now I have removed the
year (2004) since I had added that myself last week. Further corrections may
be forthcoming.
If the images switched in 2009, the parts might have first been released in 2008.
Although at the moment it looks as though 2009 is the first full year.
The catalog transition for this part has been incredibly fast, and I think we're
about ready to close out the two ends.
|
You and others make some pretty good arguments here. I've had a change of
heart. I'm on board and agree with the need for 2 entries. Thanks for explaining
the transition.

| These minifigs:
are at present listed in the catalog as the minifig with headgear in the case
of the first two, and a backpack accesory that is built up from parts for the
third.
As the minifigs are used interchangeably in the each of the three sets they each
come from, should the catalog entry not rather reflect the minifig without any
headgear or accessories? The images below are from the instructions in each of
the sets, where it is shown that the minifig is used as a base entry without
any accessories or headgear.
It is my understanding that the figs were originally listed to reflect only the
minifig as it appears in the first of any of the three sets that it will be used
for.
Alternatively, if the catalog is meant to be showing a minifig complete as per
the instructions, should all the accessories from all three sets any one minifig
represents, not then be the complete catalog entry?

| | | | Couple quick questions. Is the glass loose in the red door, or is it still glued
to the frame? If you look on the inside of the yellow frame, can you tell if
the glass has tabs or if it's cut straight across? I ask this because from
where I'm sitting, looking at a single photo on a computer screen, I can't
tell if it's possible that the yellow frame has the same hole and it's
just obscured by a layer of flash. This happened with the headlight bricks,
which resulted in them being split into two catalog entries for "slotted" and
"unslotted", when it was really just parts where the flash was still attached
and parts where it either didn't form or had been removed (it was pretty
easy to poke it out with a fingernail and leave a nice crisp rectangular hole,
which tells you just how intentional it was when it occurred).
|
There might be a hole inside the door frame, but it doesn't go all the way
through to the outside on the yellow door. I'll check and answer your questings
regarding the glass during next week. I won't be home until then.
I have pictures of all combinations of hole/no hole and color. 4 in total. Two
with hole (red, white) and two without (red, yellow). Images attached.
|
The glass is glued in both versions that I have, so I don't have any new
info that has not already been written by others in this thread. I guess there
are three different versions of glass although I only have two of them, and both
left and right doors can be with and without hole (I only have the left version
with hole).
This issue seems to be a little more complicated than I expected, so I think
I will leave it to someone else to change the catalogue. Feel free to use the
images that I posted if they're at all usable.
