PCC is more descriptive of the code than "Element ID".

Er, if you say so…

OK great

I've cancelled the original inventory as I couldn't add the newly added
parts from the catalogue, and the newer inventory is now submitted for approval.

The descriptions are adequate I think, but hopefully someone can submit split
images for the yellow 'face' elements, as this will be better than the
ones supplied by LEGO.COM

If this can be approved, it will be great as this means I'll be able to part
out the 2 sets that I have.

Thanks!

Paul

Ok thanks for message, will check it in just a moment

I've also added the correct colour image for the Dark Azure 2x3x2 curved
side brick, as it's a new colour for that part.

Cheers!

Paul

Perfect Checked and approved. Thank you very much for submiting this invenotry.
So maybe you submit more in the future

I have to say, thank you for approving this quickly as those 2 sets had been
bugging me for a while since I bought them to plunder the 2x4 Blue plates!

I think it's possible that I'll be doing more Duplo sets as I've
decided to get out of doing USED duplo as I have loads of vehicle elements that
I can't shift, and with all of the other parts that I have, they are just
taking up so much space that I could use for the normal LEGO elements.

Another reason why I'm getting out of the USED Duplo, is that there are more
and more Chinese Clones turning up at the car boot sales, so it will be really
hard to garner a decent return...

So, it depends upon whether I manage to see NEW Duplo at reduced prices or not.

Thanks, once again for the speedy approval of that set.

Regards,

Paul

  Hello,

as a seller I always have this problem:

buyer submits a rash order then wants to cancel.
If you do agree, you risk the buyer leaving a negative feedback. I would surely
leave a neutral or negative for someone asking to cancel an order just because
they don't want the items anymore. But I can't leave it, as a revenge
negative is always ready.

So I deny the order cancel until they become NPB, I undergo the NPB procedure,
so the buyer isn't allowed to leave a feedback anymore.

But this way my items are BLOCKED FOR 14 DAYS (7 I have to wait + 7 I have to
wait the NPB to resolve) and no one can buy them anymore.

Instead if I was able to accept the OCR, knowing they will not be able to leave
a negative, I would do that, leave a neutral, relist my items instatly and move
on.

I don't think that removing the chance to leave a feedback if we wish to
cancel the order is so unfair. The ones who wish to cease the order, ceases the
feedback with it.

Please help us sellers.

Thanks

No. I have requested to cancel orders because the seller indicated that he did
not have the most important the items. The OCR does not have to mean that the
buyer does not want the items. Also, depending on the behaviour of the seller,
I might want to leave feedback.

  Yes, I fully support this idea - it is long overdue.

I make it clear that if a buyer places and Order, the buyer is expected to pay.
I do not accept OCR's. If the buyer refuses to pay, then it is an NPB. Period.
This protects me and, in theory, teaches people to read something before they
agree to it.

Bricklord

Hi Bricklord,

Your position is not without merit, even if I'm not in complete agreement
with it.

However, it leaves me curious...what is your policy if the buyer should inform
you that their reason for OCR submission is a financial emergency or other crisis,
such as a house flooding that leaves them no place to go/store LEGO for the time
being?

Not trying to start any fires here; as one seller to another, I'd really
appreciate your viewpoint on such a contingency.

All decorated parts have their own entry with the same number as the main part
plus pb and following number in the numbering system of them in Bricklink.
So look at 4198 as an example, you have four new decotared version of this part.
Type in search 4198pb* (with asterisk), sort by "item number" and "down", result:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=4198pb%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
See all decoreted have their own separate entry. So you must now crate whole
new entry for four your parts. Thanks to this searching you see the next free
number will be
4198pb31. So crate 4 parts 4198pb with following numbers 4198pb31, 4198pb32,
4198pb33, 4198pb34, describe them in name - add in name what is their pattern.
You can see also in this search how other are named, you can create somthing
similar. But in name for this part there always must be "Duplo, Brick 2 x 4
x 2 Rounded Ends ... Pattern" for "..." you enter your description of pattern.
Then add photos for such crated parts.
Now repeat this for all your new decorated bricks: 31110, 3011, 98223, 31111.
Create new entries with "pb".

I actually saw where I went wrong.

I'd listed the images before I'd changed the numbers of the parts, and
this accepted the images which was wrong as the part(s) were already in the catalogue!

I think I've done it correctly now, and all it need is for the naming of
the parts to be tidied up.

I've also added the dimensions of the set, and if the parts can be approved,
I can add them to the inventory.

Regards,

Paul

OK great

You can see also in this search how other are named, you can create somthing
similar. But in name for this part there always must be "Duplo, Brick 2 x 4
x 2 Rounded Ends ... Pattern" for "..." you enter your description of pattern.
Then add photos for such crated parts.
Now repeat this for all your new decorated bricks: 31110, 3011, 98223, 31111.
Crate new entries with "pb".

Then all sellers would left with incomplete minifigs in such inventory changed
minifig listnings. This was also very old set, wrong minifig was long in the
catalog and also more extensive change this was than only change part variant
being already in minifig for example.

Thanks!

just a question: was it not better to keep the minifigs and just make an inv.
change?
Why? Well both minifigs are no longer in any other set. Now we have -a and -b
versions but the 'without -a -b' version is no longer available (already
marked for del.).
That was also my reply on the other inv. ch. req.

We have
sp050
sp051
sp052
sp053 - marked for del.
sp053a
sp053b
sp054 - marked for del.
sp054b - why not -a (but same question here why not just keep the sp054)
sp055
sp056
sp057
sp058
sp059 - marked for del.
sp059a

There is, flat silver tends to be darker, the real challenge is with Bionicle
parts and they can come very close. Best to try and get a few of each to keep
as reference.

  I have always wondered why a brick is named by depth x length x height and not
by length as the primary number (length x depth x height). So for example, a
3010 is a 1x4 brick.
 
Part No: 3010  Name: Brick 1 x 4
* 
3010 Brick 1 x 4
Parts: Brick

But why is the opposite used for assemblies? So for example, a 1x3 brick stacked
on a 1x4 brick with a sticker attached is called a ...

[p=BA41pb01]

4x1x2 length x depth x height.

I could have chosen all (most?) brick assemblies ...

[p=BA14pb02]
[p=BA04pb01]

Bizarrely, tiles don't follow this pattern ...

[p=BA18pb01]


I have wondered this too. It's really quite annoying to do a search for something
simple/obvious and come up empty. Just reversing the figures then brings up what
I expected (most of the time). I'm sure there's some method to this madness,
but it does seem a bit illogical at times.

It needs 4 2x2 bricks not 2

Please share images or scans of whatever source you're using for this request.

Submiter is correct. I only checked instruction. See the attached photos

1) bat 4x 2x2 blue
2) boat 4x 2x2 blue
3) 2nd building from instruction, not clearly, I see three blue 2x2 but photos
of instruction available in web are damage in this case (where 4th should be).
4) 1st buliding from instruction, interesting case 2 are shown but then there
is a chimney which isn't shown how it is constructed

On the base of my findings I approved this request.

have a printed back, and is merely not photographed/listed in the catalog alongside
the current pic?

Or does that torso assembly have only a printed front (not back), and the two
that I have with both printed front and back are a different assembly?

If the latter is the case, then I cannot find it in the catalog.

New photo showing front and back printing was added for this part.

  But here's where the suggestion comes in: When you're uploading different
minifig parts, Bricklink looks for a match. So, say you upload a used green pair
of pants, a used shirt with suspenders and a tie, a used white-bearded face,
and a used explorer's hat all separately. Bricklink knows that Dr. Charles
Lightning is made up of these parts. So something pops up saying something like,
"These pieces make up Dr. Charles Lightning. Do you want to turn these individual
pieces into a complete minifigure, or leave them as individual pieces?"
And then you can decide whether or not to leave them as separate pieces.

I'm not sure if you'd find this useful, but we already have something
like this:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogIn.asp?utm_content=subnav

You can search for up to three items at a time so long as you know the item number.
I like your idea, but it would add an extra inventory addition step for people
who already know what they want. I think it would work better as a standalone
feature similar to the one shown above (but improved and figure-specific).

What would be amazing is if we had an image-matching system where you showed
BrickLink a picture you took of the minifigure you have and the system told you
what parts or figures matched your minifigure.

Many members have requested easier tools for finding minifigures and their parts.
Unfortunately, BrickLink has for several years focused its efforts on new ventures
instead of perfecting the good thing it already has.

Oh wow, I'd never heard of this before! This will make it a lot easier! Thanks!

Wow, that would be nice! But I suppose that some things are just too good to
become true

  Well, how can I submit images when they are already available as I saw when I
first put the set's number into the correct box?

You must save these images to your computer and then submit them to bricklink
catalog.
when you were making inventory these images are only for help purpose, and are
taken from external LEGO database, so for the missing ones they are not in the
Bricklink database.
Images you can save from LEGO replacment parts service or also from here for
example:
https://brickset.com/inventories/10861-1 (this is your set)
Brickset takes these inventories from the same source.

  Why can't the system take copies of those images and match them to the part?

I'm guessing that I'll need to change the part numbers from the LEGO
code to the BrickLink ones?

Yes numbers for the parts must be in bricklink style

  more work....



  Lol

  Are stickered parts no longer being listed as counter parts in Bricklink inventories?

The are still beeing listed if they are added to the catalog, we don't have
rule that they must be added to the catalog in the same time when the set is
inventoried. They can be added later to the catalog and to the set.
So for this set nobody yet added these stickered parts to the catalog. That is
why they aren't in these sets inventories. They missing.

   I was verifying some set inventories and noticed all the following sets have
no stickered parts as CPs:

 
Set No: 41322  Name: Snow Resort Ice Rink
* 
41322-1 (Inv) Snow Resort Ice Rink
295 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2017

*

392 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2017
Sets: Friends
 
Set No: 41327  Name: Mia's Bedroom
* 
41327-1 (Inv) Mia's Bedroom
81 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2018

Set No: 41328  Name: Stephanie's Bedroom
* 
41328-1 (Inv) Stephanie's Bedroom
90 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2018
Sets: Friends
 
Set No: 41329  Name: Olivia's Deluxe Bedroom
* 
41329-1 (Inv) Olivia's Deluxe Bedroom
159 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2018
Sets: Friends

For my own purposes, I have put stickered parts in the comments section of Brickstock
as I verify my inventories, but I liked having them listed as CPs.

If you have stickered parts for these sets maybe you could add them.

"To add the stickered part to the catalog, first submit the part to the catalog
https://www.bricklink.com/wantedCatalog.asp and then upload a picture for the
part https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page. The picture must
show the sticker correctly applied to the part as it appears in the set instructions.
After the part has been approved and added to the catalog submit an Inventory
Change Request https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp to add the new
part to the inventory as a counterpart"

It doesn't matter how "right" you do it, so don't worry about that too
much. The catalog administrators can fix things like part numbers and titles.
You do need to add images, though.

Having said that, formatting your submissions correctly will greatly speed up
the process of approval. Here's a brief tutorial using one of the parts
you've submitted:

First thing: that 7-digit number is called a Part Color Code or PCC. These are
unique codes assigned by TLG which identify a particular part in a specific color.
A part in white, for example may have the PCC 6135522, but the same part in
black has the PCC 6001664. These numbers are not used as item numbers, but are
added as PCCs with a catalog change request after item approval.

To create the correct part number for your pending part, you need to find out
which item number is available. To do that, search for the part number with
an asterisk added. In this case, the part number is 98223, so search for 98223*.
You should see this:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?searchMethod=searchBoth&q=98223*&itemBrand=1000&catType=&itemYear=&catID=&catLike=W

Then sort your results by Item Number and Down. This will reveal that the most
recently used part number was 98223pb014. Therefore, this pending part will
be numbered 98223pb015 when it is approved.

There is good news, though. You can edit your pending submissions by going to
your My Activity page and looking for pending items. There you can change titles,
categories, part numbers, etc.

Is finding the appropriate item number too much work? Yes. Ideally you should
be able to enter the part number and the system could simply assign the next
patterned number. Ideally there would also be less poverty in the world. We
must work with what we have.

Second thing: all titles should be submitted as you would want to see them in
the catalog. For this pending part it means capitalizing the last three words
(Crossed Arms Pattern).

You've got the weight and dimensions added, so I think that otherwise you're
good on this one once you add an image. The same issues exist with your other
pending submissions, like the title for this part:

[P=6217961]

Like I say, though, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your submissions
should be approved, it will just take longer because of the extra work which
must go into spiffing them up to be official catalog entries.

Thank you, by the way, for taking the time to inventory this set. Duplo is one
of the neglected themes for which sets can go years without ever seeing an inventory.

Well, how can I submit images when they are already available as I saw when I
first put the set's number into the correct box?

Why can't the system take copies of those images and match them to the part?

I'm guessing that I'll need to change the part numbers from the LEGO
code to the BrickLink ones?

more work....

Lol

The are still beeing listed if they are added to the catalog, we don't have
rule that they must be added to the catalog in the same time when the set is
inventoried. They can be added later to the catalog and to the set.
So for this set nobody yet added these stickered parts to the catalog. That is
why they aren't in these sets inventories. They missing.

   I was verifying some set inventories and noticed all the following sets have
no stickered parts as CPs:

 
Set No: 41322  Name: Snow Resort Ice Rink
* 
41322-1 (Inv) Snow Resort Ice Rink
295 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2017
Sets: Friends

*

392 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2017
Sets: Friends
 
Set No: 41327  Name: Mia's Bedroom
* 
41327-1 (Inv) Mia's Bedroom
81 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2018
Sets: Friends
 
Set No: 41328  Name: Stephanie's Bedroom
* 
41328-1 (Inv) Stephanie's Bedroom
90 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2018

Set No: 41329  Name: Olivia's Deluxe Bedroom
* 
41329-1 (Inv) Olivia's Deluxe Bedroom
159 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2018
Sets: Friends

For my own purposes, I have put stickered parts in the comments section of Brickstock
as I verify my inventories, but I liked having them listed as CPs.

If you have stickered parts for these sets maybe you could add them.

"To add the stickered part to the catalog, first submit the part to the catalog
https://www.bricklink.com/wantedCatalog.asp and then upload a picture for the
part https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page. The picture must
show the sticker correctly applied to the part as it appears in the set instructions.
After the part has been approved and added to the catalog submit an Inventory
Change Request https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp to add the new
part to the inventory as a counterpart"

If you do agree, you risk the buyer leaving a negative feedback. I would surely
leave a neutral or negative for someone asking to cancel an order just because
they don't want the items anymore. But I can't leave it, as a revenge
negative is always ready.

Voted no, because if you mutually cancel an order, then why should you (the seller)
get to leave neutral/negative feedback? You agreed to cancel the order. If you
don't agree with it, then don't agree and wait for the NPB to go through
before leaving your neutral/negative.

I don't really understand why sellers need to be so harsh on buyers asking
for cancellations. If they don't ask, then fair enough. But if they are within
the EU, they are allowed to cancel the order anyway, especially if postage costs
were not made clear beforehand. Of course, feedback is different to legally being
allowed to cancel but even so, just cancel the unwanted order and move on.

If you voted "no" you should explain why you think it's important to leave
a feedback if you ask an order cancel, because that is what I would like to prevent.

I don't think the buyer OR seller should be able to, as there is no order
as both parties consented to cancelling it. Whereas your suggestion was to stop
a buyer leaving feedback but still allow the seller to do it.

I have always wondered why a brick is named by depth x length x height and not
by length as the primary number (length x depth x height). So for example, a
3010 is a 1x4 brick.
 
Part No: 3010  Name: Brick 1 x 4
* 
3010 Brick 1 x 4
Parts: Brick

But why is the opposite used for assemblies? So for example, a 1x3 brick stacked
on a 1x4 brick with a sticker attached is called a ...

[p=BA41pb01]

4x1x2 length x depth x height.

I could have chosen all (most?) brick assemblies ...

[p=BA14pb02]
[p=BA04pb01]

Bizarrely, tiles don't follow this pattern ...

[p=BA18pb01]

Hello I think each of us has this minifigure problem. There are so many and you
have to look carefully. Sometimes they differ only minimally from each other.
But if you are looking for green legs, you can show at the top right how many
figures have green legs. That makes it a bit easier. But I also sit there evening
after night, looking for pieces together of several thousand pieces. In principle,
children always have to disassemble all the figures. laughing. but that will
probably never change. So you continue to enjoy searching and building. Oh, do
not be angry, the winter is coming soon, you have a lot of time. ))

Oh yes, in German it is much harder because sometimes I just do not know what
the words are called in English, but then I ask my children and google

  I don't know if there have been suggestions on this before, but I couldn't
help wondering if there's a way to implement this suggestion.

In uploading Legos to my store that's opening soon (hopefully!! ), I see
that there are two ways to upload minifigs. Either, you can find complete minifigs
and upload your minifig as such (such as Dr. Charles Lightning in Adventurers),
or you can upload each individual piece (such as Left Robot Arm).

I'm uploading Legos that I bought from an ebay bulk lot, so all the minifigures
are just randomly put together. So somehow, I'm supposed to find out if any
of my minifig parts can make up an actual minifigure that belongs in a category,
or if I have to individually upload each piece.

That probably sounds confusing, so let me put it another way. Say, for example,
that I have 3 pairs of red, blue, and green pants. I also have 3 pairs of red,
green, and blue shirts. I have 5 different faces, and 3 different hats. If you're
an expert at knowing what kind of minifigs there are out there (which I am completely
and totally ignorant about), you'll probably be able to tell if there are
any combinations of the minifig parts that I have that make up an actual minifigure
that is in a category. But I have no idea about these things. Yes, if I didn't
want to spend hours looking in each category to see if there are any minifigures
that I could create using my pieces, I could just upload each individual piece.

But here's where the suggestion comes in: When you're uploading different
minifig parts, Bricklink looks for a match. So, say you upload a used green pair
of pants, a used shirt with suspenders and a tie, a used white-bearded face,
and a used explorer's hat all separately. Bricklink knows that Dr. Charles
Lightning is made up of these parts. So something pops up saying something like,
"These pieces make up Dr. Charles Lightning. Do you want to turn these individual
pieces into a complete minifigure, or leave them as individual pieces?"
And then you can decide whether or not to leave them as separate pieces.

Now, this is probably wayyy too complicated, and can't be done without a
lot of hard work, and the Bricklink staff already put a lot of work into this.
But if not, and this is possible and easy to do...what do you think? Would this
be a useful addition? Is there already something like this? Or am I just being
stupid, and no one else would find this helpful?
Sorry for such a long post!

C.

but they both have a large black clip where you would attach them to the head,
so cannot be used in building.


I also thought they were canister tops? But can't find anything there either.
Anyone know?

Thanks in advance!

Lisa at Brick Dungeon

Take some images with your mobile device or a digital camera. If you show them
next to the Bionicle masks you do have that will give a sense of scale.

They'll be a lot faster to identify visually.

Cheers ...

Geoffrey Hyde

Thanks, Geoffrey, I will do that!

The official Lego masks are the ones on the far right and far left. The inside
ones are the ones I can't figure out where they come from. As you can see,
they do have a large plastic black clip inside. If there is any marking, it is
covered up by the clip and I can't see anything. Maybe these are some sort
of knock-off?

Lisa

It looks to me as if you should consider submitting a catalog entry for the items.
No harm done if it gets knocked back for any reason.

Cheers ...

Thank you for letting me know. I think it would be much better to leave these
figures for someone who actually has them in hand. I've deleted the pending
head and the pending inventories.

I've got catalog entries for these helmets pending, but I don't know
if they're new molds or just printed versions of older molds. If you
could check and let me know that would be great. The part numbers will likely
be the same for both helmets.

From what I'm seeing they appear to be the same as this, but with a visor
built in:

 
Part No: x164px4  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Rebel Pilot with Yellow and Black Checkered Pattern
* 
x164px4 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Rebel Pilot with Yellow and Black Checkered Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear

Does that seem right? How is the visor attached? Is this a combination of two
parts?

Comments from Submitter:
I hope I did this right as it's a bit confusing. I made a mistake when I submitted these last week... crssprt01pb22 should be an 'alternate' for 340590, and 'crssprt02pb77' should be an alternate for 340588 in certain SWISS/French sets.

I understand - the inventory change process can be confusing. Once you learn
how everything works, it ain't so bad.

Speaking of confusing, your requests have really thrown me for a loop. I have
no idea what you've got going on here. Try this: explain it to me using
the parts for examples. Please do so with macro tags.

So you might say the following:

I would like to add this part to the set inventory:

 
Part No: 3004  Name: Brick 1 x 2
* 
3004 Brick 1 x 2
Parts: Brick

as an alternate for this part in the Regular Items section:

 
Part No: 2432  Name: Tile, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle
* 
2432 Tile, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle
Parts: Tile, Modified

If you'll explain it with macro tags, then hopefully we'll achieve some
communication. When you reply to this post look at the top of the page beside
the subject line and you'll see (Emoticons)(Acronyms)(Macro Tags). Click
on the Macro Tags link and it will explain how to use them. You can also read
back over what I've written when you hit Reply and you can see how they're
formatted.

I approved the request to add the 'POSTE' alternate brick.

  I don't know if there have been suggestions on this before, but I couldn't
help wondering if there's a way to implement this suggestion.

In uploading Legos to my store that's opening soon (hopefully!! ), I see
that there are two ways to upload minifigs. Either, you can find complete minifigs
and upload your minifig as such (such as Dr. Charles Lightning in Adventurers),
or you can upload each individual piece (such as Left Robot Arm).

I'm uploading Legos that I bought from an ebay bulk lot, so all the minifigures
are just randomly put together. So somehow, I'm supposed to find out if any
of my minifig parts can make up an actual minifigure that belongs in a category,
or if I have to individually upload each piece.

That probably sounds confusing, so let me put it another way. Say, for example,
that I have 3 pairs of red, blue, and green pants. I also have 3 pairs of red,
green, and blue shirts. I have 5 different faces, and 3 different hats. If you're
an expert at knowing what kind of minifigs there are out there (which I am completely
and totally ignorant about), you'll probably be able to tell if there are
any combinations of the minifig parts that I have that make up an actual minifigure
that is in a category. But I have no idea about these things. Yes, if I didn't
want to spend hours looking in each category to see if there are any minifigures
that I could create using my pieces, I could just upload each individual piece.

But here's where the suggestion comes in: When you're uploading different
minifig parts, Bricklink looks for a match. So, say you upload a used green pair
of pants, a used shirt with suspenders and a tie, a used white-bearded face,
and a used explorer's hat all separately. Bricklink knows that Dr. Charles
Lightning is made up of these parts. So something pops up saying something like,
"These pieces make up Dr. Charles Lightning. Do you want to turn these individual
pieces into a complete minifigure, or leave them as individual pieces?"
And then you can decide whether or not to leave them as separate pieces.

Now, this is probably wayyy too complicated, and can't be done without a
lot of hard work, and the Bricklink staff already put a lot of work into this.
But if not, and this is possible and easy to do...what do you think? Would this
be a useful addition? Is there already something like this? Or am I just being
stupid, and no one else would find this helpful?
Sorry for such a long post!

C.

Have you tried?

https://brickstock.patrickbrans.com/

Brickstock is a little unrelated to exactly what you are trying to do but super
useful for entering parts to be unloaded and a great pricing tool. Check it
out for sure if you haven't. Just plan to spend some time on youtube understanding
how to use it.

Second part, identify 1 unique part either using bricklink or goatleg.com (amazing
resource) and use that to check against complete figs available. I go for torso's
and heads mostly. When you open the page to that part you can click in the upper
right to see all the minfigs that contain this part.

Now neither of these suggestions is exactly what you want, but it is what most
people use to identify and list used figures. I also voted for your suggestion
because it does sound like a good idea. I would want to know if I had all the
parts from xxxXXX fig in my inventory and could assemble it from there (besides
the ones I parted out of course).

I'm not sure if you'd find this useful, but we already have something
like this:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogIn.asp?utm_content=subnav

You can search for up to three items at a time so long as you know the item number.
I like your idea, but it would add an extra inventory addition step for people
who already know what they want. I think it would work better as a standalone
feature similar to the one shown above (but improved and figure-specific).

What would be amazing is if we had an image-matching system where you showed
BrickLink a picture you took of the minifigure you have and the system told you
what parts or figures matched your minifigure.

Many members have requested easier tools for finding minifigures and their parts.
Unfortunately, BrickLink has for several years focused its efforts on new ventures
instead of perfecting the good thing it already has.

In Catalog Inventories, WhiteVanMan writes:
  Right, I've submitted the inventory of the set, and the additional printed
parts have now been added to the catalogue, using the codes found on the set
box's inventory.

I hope that I've done it right(???)

It doesn't matter how "right" you do it, so don't worry about that too
much. The catalog administrators can fix things like part numbers and titles.
You do need to add images, though.

Having said that, formatting your submissions correctly will greatly speed up
the process of approval. Here's a brief tutorial using one of the parts
you've submitted:

[P=6217957]

First thing: that 7-digit number is called a Part Color Code or PCC. These are
unique codes assigned by TLG which identify a particular part in a specific color.
A part in white, for example may have the PCC 6135522, but the same part in
black has the PCC 6001664. These numbers are not used as item numbers, but are
added as PCCs with a catalog change request after item approval.

To create the correct part number for your pending part, you need to find out
which item number is available. To do that, search for the part number with
an asterisk added. In this case, the part number is 98223, so search for 98223*.
You should see this:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?searchMethod=searchBoth&q=98223*&itemBrand=1000&catType=&itemYear=&catID=&catLike=W

Then sort your results by Item Number and Down. This will reveal that the most
recently used part number was 98223pb014. Therefore, this pending part will
be numbered 98223pb015 when it is approved.

There is good news, though. You can edit your pending submissions by going to
your My Activity page and looking for pending items. There you can change titles,
categories, part numbers, etc.

Is finding the appropriate item number too much work? Yes. Ideally you should
be able to enter the part number and the system could simply assign the next
patterned number. Ideally there would also be less poverty in the world. We
must work with what we have.

Second thing: all titles should be submitted as you would want to see them in
the catalog. For this pending part it means capitalizing the last three words
(Crossed Arms Pattern).

You've got the weight and dimensions added, so I think that otherwise you're
good on this one once you add an image. The same issues exist with your other
pending submissions, like the title for this part:

[P=6217961]

Like I say, though, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your submissions
should be approved, it will just take longer because of the extra work which
must go into spiffing them up to be official catalog entries.

Thank you, by the way, for taking the time to inventory this set. Duplo is one
of the neglected themes for which sets can go years without ever seeing an inventory.

be a useful addition? Is there already something like this? Or am I just being
stupid, and no one else would find this helpful?
Sorry for such a long post!

The images can be added from there, but you'll need to do it yourself. People
do it all the time for Duplo parts:

3664pb32 Duplo, Brick 2 x 2 x 2 Slope Curved Double with Clock Hands 4:57 Pattern

* 
35734 Duplo, Train Cabin Roof 4 x 4
Parts: DUPLO, Train
 
Part No: 36075pb01  Name: Duplo, Train Steam Engine Cabin 4 x 8 x 3 1/2 with Yellow No. 925 Pattern
* 
36075pb01 Duplo, Train Steam Engine Cabin 4 x 8 x 3 1/2 with Yellow No. 925 Pattern
Parts: DUPLO, Train


Right, I've submitted the inventory of the set, and the additional printed
parts have now been added to the catalogue, using the codes found on the set
box's inventory.

I hope that I've done it right(???)

Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 700.0  Name: Gift Package
* 
700.0-1 (Inv) Gift Package
246 Parts, 1956
Sets: Classic: Town Plan

* Add 1 Part crssprt02pb90 White Brick 1 x 6 without Bottom Tubes with Cross Side Supports with Red 'POSTE' Thin Slanted Pattern (Alternate)
* Change 1 Part White {crssprt01pb14 Brick 1 x 8 without Bottom Tubes with Cross Side Supports with Blue 'ESSO SERVICE' Long Pattern to crssprt01pb22 Brick 1 x 8 without Bottom Tubes with Cross Side Supports with Gold 'BOULANGERIE' Thin Slanted Pattern} {Regular to Alternate}
* Change 1 Part White {crssprt02pb26 Brick 1 x 6 without Bottom Tubes with Cross Side Supports with Blue 'HOTEL' Thick Pattern to crssprt02pb77 Brick 1 x 6 without Bottom Tubes with Cross Side Supports with Black 'CINEMA' Slanted Thick Pattern} {Regular to Alternate}

Comments from Submitter:
I hope I did this right as it's a bit confusing. I made a mistake when I submitted these last week... crssprt01pb22 should be an 'alternate' for 340590, and 'crssprt02pb77' should be an alternate for 340588 in certain SWISS/French sets.

If you do agree, you risk the buyer leaving a negative feedback. I would surely
leave a neutral or negative for someone asking to cancel an order just because
they don't want the items anymore. But I can't leave it, as a revenge
negative is always ready.

Voted no, because if you mutually cancel an order, then why should you (the seller)
get to leave neutral/negative feedback? You agreed to cancel the order. If you
don't agree with it, then don't agree and wait for the NPB to go through
before leaving your neutral/negative.

I don't really understand why sellers need to be so harsh on buyers asking
for cancellations. If they don't ask, then fair enough. But if they are within
the EU, they are allowed to cancel the order anyway, especially if postage costs
were not made clear beforehand. Of course, feedback is different to legally being
allowed to cancel but even so, just cancel the unwanted order and move on.

If you voted "no" you should explain why you think it's important to leave
a feedback if you ask an order cancel, because that is what I would like to prevent.

Hi Bricklord,

Your position is not without merit, even if I'm not in complete agreement
with it.

However, it leaves me curious...what is your policy if the buyer should inform
you that their reason for OCR submission is a financial emergency or other crisis,
such as a house flooding that leaves them no place to go/store LEGO for the time
being?

Not trying to start any fires here; as one seller to another, I'd really
appreciate your viewpoint on such a contingency.

- Bond

I think I was misintrepreted. In this case, the buyer SHOULDN'T be allowed
to post a feedback. No order, no feedback. This is my opinion.

This.

Otherwise the feedback system has no use.

* Delete 2 Part 4589 Trans-Yellow Cone 1 x 1 without Top Groove

Comments from Submitter:
These cones are already included in the set inventory and should not be duplicated on the minifig. There are only 2 trans-yellow cones included in the box.

Shouldn't be this whole set inventory of
 
Set No: 1558  Name: Mobile Command Trailer

1558-1 (Inv) Mobile Command Trailer
50 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1986

sp053a (Inv) Classic Space - Yellow with Light Gray Jet Pack and Black Cones

in the inventory?

As it is now neither inventory of set or minifg is correct. Yes you have right
cones are now both in minifig and set.
So the best way in my opinion would be submit whole minifigs with backpack for
this set and delete parts for backpacks from set inventory.


BTW I can correct it, if it need it. I have yellow one, just modify sp053a and
black one I can construct I think

Hi

Both red cones
 
Part No: 4589  Name: Cone 1 x 1
* 
4589 Cone 1 x 1
Parts: Cone
need to be deleted in the inventory and add to the minifig
[m=sp053] because this one doesn't have them in the inv. like the black one.
The cones are good visible on the instructions. (the yellow ones on the black
minifig, the red ones on the yellow minifig)
 
Instruction No: 1558  Name: Mobile Command Trailer
* 
1558-1 Mobile Command Trailer

Then we have an inv. like minifigs as

(sp053 is only in this set)

New minifigs for this set to fix it are pending approval:

I've got 2 copies of a Duplo set that has not been inventoried.

I've tried to submit the inventory, and I apparently need to supply information
about a few parts that are not within the catalogue, but there IS information
about the parts as BrickLink is getting the data direct from LEGO

What do I need to do?

It's mostly the printed parts that I'm having issues with.

Please help as I can't sell the parts as the set isn't inventoried

You want to inventory Duplo set yes?
I've see that you submited to the catalog already 8 inventories. Submiting
of inventories isn't change so much from time when you last submited. Now
it is easer than ever.
Submit incomplete inventory it will be pending. I think you using autofill opition.
When you submit inventory of the set and it don't have all parts necessary
in the catalog but they are listed in LEGO inventory, they are marked red, delete
them from the form to go further. Then add the missing parts to the catalog,
after they approval, add them to the inventory which will be pending. After you
complete inventory and will be OK, We will approve it Then this set will
be available to part out.
I checked you credits and I see you also submited parts and photos to the catalog
so you should be familiar with the process.

regards,

Marek

I understand how the process works, but I'm always struggled with being able
to create suitable images of the 'missing' parts that need to be added
to the catalogue, which is why I was asking if the process can/had been made
simpler as the information is available already.

8 times out if 10, the images that I supply are too big, and I need to cut/crop
the image to get it small enough to be useful, which I think is too much of a
lengthy process, where the information is already available, so why can't

I hope you can understand why I'm asking in this regard.

Paul

Look here, there is no problem to supply Lego photos from their database for
decorated Duplo bricks. See how many this year were added only with official
Lego photo and not original submiter's photo:

There are bogus orders, but in my experience the bogus buyer will never bother
to ask for an order cancellation. They are the ones that place the order and
then just disappear, forcing an entirely justified NPB with negative feedback.
That warns other sellers, without the risk of an unearned negative feedback.

But for polite requests to cancel, my feeling people make mistakes all the time,
and it isn't necessary that every one of those result in a negative consequence.
I prefer to treat others as I would like to be treated.

  We always accept order cancellation request and have never been hit with a negative

or pay after 2 invoices and one message.Forcing an NPB could make a result you
don't want. Once you issue an NPB the buyer may decide to pay and then the
order status is good and you are obliged to ship or the buyer can then issue
an NSS against you. Even if you do then ship the order, the odds are the buyer
will then leave a negative for you due to seller refusing an order cancellation
request and there will be nothing you can do except respond with a tit for tat
negative. Far better customer service to just accept the cancellation request.
If they do leave a negative it won't make much difference as buyers will
judge by you overwhelming positive feedbacks and assume the one negative to just
be from a buyer with a bee in their bonnet.

Kev

In full agreement, Kev. Your way is the way I do it at ABV. Of my 11 OCRs in
14 years, 9 of them involved lost revenue of less than $5.00 each, and all each
involved less than 5 lots that I had to put back into stock.

Besides, as long as you're using inventory Comments or Remarks when Add(ing)
Items, the OCR process is pretty straightforward; it's like the inventory
Add Item process but in reverse, and does all the re-listing for you back into
the same location(s), unless you change them manually. My biggest chore is taking
the parts out of the bags and getting them back into the cabinets; at most that
takes me 20 minutes.

It can still be a mutual agreement, but the one who initiates the cancellation
must accept some form of censure.

Why? Isn't it better to ask a seller to cancel than just leaving it unpaid
as, for example, you don't agree with the costs of postage that you were
not told about before the order was placed?

If a seller is going to give negative feedback after agreeing to cancel an order
if the buyer asks, then I can fully understand why a buyer would not bother contacting
them and just leave the seller hanging.

Why? Isn't it better to ask a seller to cancel than just leaving it unpaid
as, for example, you don't agree with the costs of postage that you were
not told about before the order was placed?

If a seller is going to give negative feedback after agreeing to cancel an order
if the buyer asks, then I can fully understand why a buyer would not bother contacting
them and just leave the seller hanging.

I've tried being nice and accepting OCR's, only to be burned by too many
immature would be buyers.

It can still be a mutual agreement, but the one who initiates the cancellation
must accept some form of censure.

In that case, you do not need to be "protected" against negative feedback from
a buyer as you do not mutually agree to cancel an order.

It seems wrong for a seller to agree to something, then be allowed to penalise
a buyer for what the seller agreed to.

We always accept order cancellation request and have never been hit with a negative
feedback. The only time we go through NPB is when the buyer doesn't respond
or pay after 2 invoices and one message.Forcing an NPB could make a result you
don't want. Once you issue an NPB the buyer may decide to pay and then the
order status is good and you are obliged to ship or the buyer can then issue
an NSS against you. Even if you do then ship the order, the odds are the buyer
will then leave a negative for you due to seller refusing an order cancellation
request and there will be nothing you can do except respond with a tit for tat
negative. Far better customer service to just accept the cancellation request.
If they do leave a negative it won't make much difference as buyers will
judge by you overwhelming positive feedbacks and assume the one negative to just
be from a buyer with a bee in their bonnet.

I don't think that removing the chance to leave a feedback if we wish to
cancel the order is so unfair. The ones who wish to cease the order, ceases the
feedback with it.

Please help us sellers.

This is ridiculous, and a problem mostly of your own making.

I have had many, Requests to Cancel from people who did not understand Bricklink,
or who just decided they did not want to complete the order.

I have accepted every one of them. Zero is the number of times I ever received
any feedback from the buyer, and certainly I never received a negative.

It is a seller's voluntary decision to cancel an order. If you decided that
you were OK to cancel, then why, why, why, would you leave negative feedback?
If you don't like the cancellation, then do not accept it.

I accept cancellations because it is a positive response to a customer's
needs. And that is what selling is all about isn't it? It doesn't cost
me a penny to be gracious to a customer who politely asks for a cancellation.

When I accept a cancellation, I let the buyer know that I will not be giving
any feedback, because in my view, there was no actual transaction for which to
leave feedback. The buyers seen to accept that position.

However, I do not support removing the buyer's ability to leave feedback.
It is true that most of these cancellation requests come from people who did
not really intend to order. But it is possible that the buyer may need to request
a cancellation because of an obstreperous or unreasonable seller, and in that
case should have the feedback option.

Voted no, because if you mutually cancel an order, then why should you (the seller)
get to leave neutral/negative feedback? You agreed to cancel the order. If you
don't agree with it, then don't agree and wait for the NPB to go through
before leaving your neutral/negative.

I don't really understand why sellers need to be so harsh on buyers asking
for cancellations. If they don't ask, then fair enough. But if they are within
the EU, they are allowed to cancel the order anyway, especially if postage costs
were not made clear beforehand. Of course, feedback is different to legally being
allowed to cancel but even so, just cancel the unwanted order and move on.

When in NPB, the buyer can select the option to Cancel the order and accept the
penalty.
I use the NPB only for those who don't communicate.

Another suggestion, although this may be moot with some of whatever BL has come
up with for the upcoming sellers' update, whenever that is going to be.
My suggestion is to have all (if possible) of a given item category's pages
choosable, at the top and bottom of the page. Right now, it displays 1-10. Personally,
I have a category (plates) with 16 pages, and I find it more than just a little
annoying to have to select page 10, just to go to pages 11-16. And when on, say,
15, 1-4 are now not an option.
That page is quite wide enough you could simply put all 1-16 on there, without
the slightest issue. Probably even 1-30, before you hit the edge of the used
page.
Another option could be to have a "jump to the end" button (in my case, would
jump to 16) and one to jump back to page 1 as well.

Also, a different suggestion, but related, add a "Submit changes" to the top
of the page as well. It seems stupid (to me) to have to scroll to the bottom
of the page, just to submit whatever changes I made to the top item on that page.

Hi all.

I've got 2 copies of a Duplo set that has not been inventoried.

I've tried to submit the inventory, and I apparently need to supply information
about a few parts that are not within the catalogue, but there IS information
about the parts as BrickLink is getting the data direct from LEGO

What do I need to do?

It's mostly the printed parts that I'm having issues with.

Please help as I can't sell the parts as the set isn't inventoried

regards,

Paul

Never seen this brick with just 2 pins, or any other 1x6 with just 2 pins.

First idea is that the pins have broken off, but then I saw you are from Denmark.
How close to Billund are you? Over the years there have come a lot of parts from
Denmark, which look out of the ordinary but still are original Lego. Test bricks
from TLG. Or parts made for Legoland. Or for employees. Or... any number of reasons
might be valid.

E.g. 5 years ago I purchased this sign from a Danish seller. So far only 1 has
surfaced (on BrickLink). There are more examples, this is just one.

 
Part No: 14pb08  Name: Road Sign Round with No-Smoking Pattern on Both Sides

14pb08 Road Sign Round with No-Smoking Pattern on Both Sides

I don't know the origin of this particular brick. It has been found in one
of many used lots of mixed bricks I've bought within the last year. It may
have come from anywhere in Denmark or directly from the Billund factory for that
matter.

They have also levers on backpack which aren't shown on current sp053 and
sp059 photos. So completly new minifigs with whole assembly should be added to
the catalog, and these two marked for deletion after inventory changes. Yellow
variant in this set differes from sp053 a by different cone color and lacking
red plate on front.

Hello,

as a seller I always have this problem:

buyer submits a rash order then wants to cancel.
If you do agree, you risk the buyer leaving a negative feedback. I would surely
leave a neutral or negative for someone asking to cancel an order just because
they don't want the items anymore. But I can't leave it, as a revenge
negative is always ready.

So I deny the order cancel until they become NPB, I undergo the NPB procedure,
so the buyer isn't allowed to leave a feedback anymore.

But this way my items are BLOCKED FOR 14 DAYS (7 I have to wait + 7 I have to
wait the NPB to resolve) and no one can buy them anymore.

Instead if I was able to accept the OCR, knowing they will not be able to leave
a negative, I would do that, leave a neutral, relist my items instatly and move
on.

I don't think that removing the chance to leave a feedback if we wish to
cancel the order is so unfair. The ones who wish to cease the order, ceases the
feedback with it.

Please help us sellers.

Thanks
