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!

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!

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

PCC describes the code better. The first PCC's were literally a combination
of a 4-digit part code and a 2-digit color code. Some of those original PCC's
are still being used:
3024+02
3024+21
3024+23
3024+24
The new 7-digit codes aren't "smart" like that, but they do represent the
part in a specific color, as opposed to the 5-digit mold number. PCC is easier
to read and type, too.

| | 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

| 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 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.

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

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:

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.
|
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

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

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

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.

| 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
In Suggestions, Cupcake27 writes:
| | 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.
