|
| Hey all.
I bought a crate of used Lego and found a few of these pieces I can't identify
(or seem to find in the bricklink Catalog) It's a hollow brick with "Lego"
printed in the studs.(no reference number)

This part is the one that would potentially cause issues. Things like the variations
of 3933/3934 that can cause parts to physically not attach in some scenarios.
That's the first I can think of just because I've experienced it in the
past.

The database isn’t made for this, and the only way now is to have “undetermined”
variants, which just adds another variant, fouls the price guide, and makes half
the buyers unhappy.
What would be nice would be “virtual undetermined parts,” and inventories and
sellers should still have to use the determined variants but searches and WLs
wouldn’t.
(There might still be problems though. Say, a buyer parts out a set into a WL,

But that means modifying the database and the site too deeply, at least for now….

From what I understand from reading about these sets, these aren't going
to be officially recognized LEGO sets. If that's the case, I don't feel
like they belong in the catalog. Someone will post the inventory somewhere (from
what I understand, it happens with most popular MOCs), so there is nothing stopping
a buyer from creating their own wanted list and purchase the parts without having
the set in the catalog.

They're still more official than BrickArms, which is also in the catalog...
Plus, the whole "exciting" part about the whole project, according to BL itself,
is the fact that it's an official cooperation with the LEGO Group.
So yes, I definitely see the irony.

I objected to adding BrickArms as well, for what it's worth. Fat lot of good
that did

I guess it does in a way as you can search for "arch 1 x 6 x 2 -curved -pattern"
if you don't care which one you get, but it only really works for searches
and not wants lists. So yes having a metadata tag to link them would be good.
Same for a number of other parts with minor variations that may be inconsequential
for some people but important for others.

To me, yes. I have never been able visually to distinguish the difference between
the two without reinforcement - medium think - thin. I just don't see it,
try as I might.

You can always check mold number molded on the part's underside, magnifying

There is a reason for the multiple entries, and that reason is because LEGO made
three variations of that part with different purposes in mind for each one. Some
of the builds that use one variation of the arch cannot be built using either
of the other two.

Three variants. Don’t exaggerate, you’re showing them
* | | 3307 Arch 1 x 6 x 2 - Thick Top with Reinforced Underside
Parts: Arch |
* | | 15254 Arch 1 x 6 x 2 - Medium Thick Top without Reinforced Underside
Parts: Arch |
* | | 12939 Arch 1 x 6 x 2 - Thin Top without Reinforced Underside
Parts: Arch |
| | | | I get the raised arch difference, that is notable, but this thin/thick thing?
|
The thin / thick thing is described in the notes, and mm dimensions given. Personally,
the difference between the old and new style (with/without the reinforcement)
is enough, but I I can understand why the different variants are there.
|
Yes, the variants are important:
1. You can fit some parts under the thin and medium thick parts that you can’t
fit under the thick one. E.g.
2. Collectors find it very important to get the right variant.
The odd part here would be the thin one: it was short lived (a year). Too fragile?
Too thin (it leaves a noticeable gap)?
Anyway, it’s here and came before the medium thick and was already in the catalogue
(2013) when the medium thick version was spotted / included in the catalogue
(2016).
There was no reason to merge thin and medium thick then and there’s no much reason
to do it now as we would still need to keep the old one.
Wouldn’t it be as confusing to have a “thick” version and “more or less thin”
one?

Comments from Submitter:
I only want to add 445a and 446a as alternative part. If you look at the instructions and the box it could very well be the door with thin handle. Since you don't have 445a and 446a as a part in any inventory list, I cannot find the item id. This would affect all sets with doors 3188, 3189, 3195, 3194, 445 and 446, to have the door with thin handle as alternative. Regards, Johan

Comments from Submitter:
As per my recent submission re: 3943b, I also note that in my two sets the 45 2x1 slopes have bottom tubes (3040). Again, with the last known use of 3040a being 1981, and the earliest use of 3040 being 1977, it makes sense that later production runs of 6842 which had low attachment modified plates and axle hole cones would also have 3040.

Comments from Submitter:
I had a pair of these since childhood and recently disassembled and bagged them for storage. Both had the axle hole version of the large cones, which is corroborated in terms of timeline by the already confirmed existence in 6890 and 6929. Both sets also contained 3839b, which implies they were from a later production run.

The long answer:
It only came out in 2005, and for all intents and purposes, the only fully-distributed
set it was in was 7251 Darth Vader Transformation. Until Lego released an updated
version of that in 2017, it was a fairly high-demand set because that scene in
Revenge of the Sith is iconic. But sets released in 2004-2005 typically had short
shelf lives because of Lego's color transformation and changes in the company.
So higher demand + lower supply = a fairly expensive set -- it still averages
$28 for 53 pieces, or $0.53/piece, and I remember seeing it go for $35-$40
a few years back. Since there are very few exclusive parts in the set besides
the figs, the few exclusive/rare parts get priced up extremely high, likely because
of people trying to Bricklink the set.

You can't post the link, just the item number. (202504481665)

Thanks.I am new at this. I have now instead tried to add the minifig with brown
hair as a new item (belvmale21). I hope I will have better luck with that. If
there is one with black hair on ebay, you must be right that both versions
exist.

To make changes like this, I need to have convincing evidence, since the inventories
were originally submitted to BrickLink by a prior Inventory Administrator.
Were all of your sets purchased new by you or used? If they were new, did
you build the sets yourself and have the pieces of them always remained separate
from other sets?
Cheers,
Randy

My sets were purchased used - so I have no proof as such. Sorry.
If I google for pictures of this set, I get approximately 50% with this plate
in green and 50% with bright green. My sets have the bright green tile - but
in theory they could have been replaced.
|
Thank you for responding to my PM so quickly!
Yep, that is what I was finding as far as used sets, also. Unfortunately, I can't
really say for sure if this was a true alternate or not. It feels to me like
it easily could have been, but I don't want to change the inventory based
on just a feeling. Hopefully, someone with better evidence will come along eventually.
For now, I will have to reject this request.
Thanks for your time,
Randy

| I just noticed that these sets require a Target credit card to purchase.
From this point on I will make an extra effort to ensure that I purchase in a
manner that limits the direct benefit to TLC. All these exclusives seem to do
is create a rift in their loyal fan base. They end up solely in the 2nd hand
market at inflated prices.

41999 was bad enough, but that was more quantity, a smaller audience, and worldwide.
Releasing these with no notice and just to Wal-Mart in the US is a dick move.
It's not like they are fringe characters either, a lot of people like these
two, it just doesn't make sense to not release these popular characters worldwide
to take advantage of the movie.
I'm all for scumbag reselling, you have to hate the game not the player.
LEGO shouldn't be enabling this in the first place, just like 41999, just

| Hi
How many colors do you have until now?
You have warm yellowish orange bricks or parts for sale (like the 2 1x2 plates
in your photo)? you have the 2x4 brick in that color?
Your photoes is excellent! You use special equipment & lighting?
If you can take a photo of all your 2x4 orange bricks it will be great, thanks!
I'm adding your warm yellowish orange picture with my light orange brick.
It doesn't seem to match at all. By the way the brick I added to your picture:
i scan the brick with my scanner- i didn't use a camera- so i guess the color
you see is the actual color!
Another & last question: You have maybe 3001 bricks for trade? i'm looking
for several colors i didn't get from b.l, my only source that i have so far
(israel is not a good location for lego fans). the colors is: flat silver, dark
flesh, trans bright green & trans black.
thanks for the help!
Yoav

Yes. the 1x2 bricks is not in the same color.
the right 1x2 is "light orange" (b.l name) the left 1x2 is the common now days
"bright light orange" (b.l name)
i'm sure that the brick i have is not bright light orange, not medium orange
and not very light orange. i'm almost sure the color is Medium Yellowish
Orange. it looks perfect when i add it to your picture (by the way- great job-
it realy helps me to get by with all the millions colors out there).

121). it's defently not Flame Yellowish Orange (color no.191)
I'm looking for a 3001 master who can tell the exact color.
|
Those are my pictures Medium Yellowish Orange and Warm Yellowish Orange are
very close, so it's hard to compare photos taken in different lighting conditions.
Your best bet is to find a part you *know* is Medium Yellowish Orange and compare
in person. I can take a comparison pic of the oranges I have, if it will help.
Yes, I think my modern 3001 collection is the largest, but Medium Yellowish Orange
is one I'm missing. (There may also be a Pearl Gold, but I haven't seen
any in the wild yet.)

So maybe this is the 73rd color?!?

The part you are trying to add is much smaller than the huge rubber band in this
book. In fact, it is not a rubber band at all. It's a rubber belt.
There is a note at the bottom of the inventory page for this book which states:
"Incomplete. Missing huge rubber band shown on parts list."
Upon looking, this huge rubber band is not in the BrickLink catalog, so the inventory
for now will remain incomplete.
This request will be rejected.

41999 was bad enough, but that was more quantity, a smaller audience, and worldwide.
Releasing these with no notice and just to Wal-Mart in the US is a dick move.
It's not like they are fringe characters either, a lot of people like these
two, it just doesn't make sense to not release these popular characters worldwide
to take advantage of the movie.
I'm all for scumbag reselling, you have to hate the game not the player.
LEGO shouldn't be enabling this in the first place, just like 41999, just
like the series 18 Policeman. I'm all for taking advantage as a seller, but
I don't agree the opportunity should exist in the first place.

I'm hoping they do release worldwide, and not limited. It would be stupid
not to. If they don't release Emmet and Wyldstyle, then there is no point
in wider releases of Sweet Mayhem and Benny.

I have created a part with stickers that are not yet in my catalog and a new

I encounter this occasionally, I just make a note in the description. I do think

I've also seen pictures of "instructions" that are likely just images of

My personal vote is "ammunition belt". It makes it difficult to find a torso
in the catalog when you don't know the character or theme.
For example: "Torso Pharaoh's Quest Tan Waistcoat, White Shirt, Bandolier
and Silver Buckle Pattern (Jake Raines) / Tan Arms / Yellow Hands" (973pb0781c01)
"Torso Monster Fighters with Ammunition Belt Pattern / Dark Tan Arms / Yellow
Hands" (973pb1113c01)
These two items are similar-looking.

You can submit any name change you would like using the following form:

I mean, for now a seller can only pick new or used, but pretty much everyone
has his/her own standard and I got some used parts which are like new, some others
which are closer to the one way ticket to trash, if you see what I mean .
It's not good nor practical to force seller to put actual picture(s) of all

guess.
Plus, asking for every single part before ordering is not good either, some sellers
didn't took time to reply to potential buyer's question already.
And when seller put description, it's quite subjective, one adjective is
far to describe actual shape of a part: "bite marks, yellowish", ok but how many
marks, how deep ?
how much "yellowished" is the brick ?
Some may claims "quite good", some other "I can't send them to trash".
A quality score could be added to a used part. It would be used as well to set
the sell price, as trash-ready used parts can lower the infamous "average 6 months"
and lower ALL prices, which is very unfair for like new parts.
Any thoughts ?

The other site that has various categories of Used was the #1 reason I will never
use it, unless BL goes away. I do not want to have to make my judgment call
and "hope" that the buyer has the same judgment call on what category of "used"
I selected.
Here is my advice when buying Used. Buy from various sources, when you find
a source that sells you crap compared to others... don't buy from the crap
store anymore and continue buying from the stores that treat you well. For example,
a large % of my Used pieces I am confident I could put down "like-new" and maybe
even sell them as "new" and no one would know the difference. I surely don't
do that but I'm trying to make a point. I don't make too many comments
on Used Items because it isn't necessary. Buyers that purchase from me multiple
times know what to expect, that a large percentage of Used items will be in good-great
condition unless I did make a notation about a specific dent, scratch, etc...
but didn't want to toss the piece as it has value to it, however, still have
the notation that it any piece is Used and could have been played with.
I don't think we need any Buyer Rating system either. This will only cause
uproar when our opinions are ever so slightly different.
Each Store can make their own process as they see fit. I have no issue with anyone
taking the time to do this. I certainly do not have the time to "judge" every
piece though. It would literally be sorting everything once which takes long
enough, and then sorting them all again and instead of having 2 main locations
for items stored (new and used) you would need 4 or 5 or who knows how many to
make sure you are pulling from the correct drawer, bag or akro-mill slot, etc...
There is Positive, Neutral and Negative Feedback available if, as a buyer, anyone
does not agree with what they received from what they purchased.
I understand your argument but I, and I assume many others here, do not have
another 4-8 hours per day to put into subjective scoring. Thanks

I can make a photo of all your reference colours with added Medium Yellowish
Orange and Warm Yellowish Orange. It will probably be a few days before I can
make time for that.
Also, the list only contains known colors for 3001. It is possible that more
colors were made. The list is updated when new colors are confirmed.

as a buyer, I found having only two choices for parts condition is far too basic
and not useful, mostly for buyers, but also for sellers who seek accuracy and
honesty regarding their inventory.
I mean, for now a seller can only pick new or used, but pretty much everyone
has his/her own standard and I got some used parts which are like new, some others
which are closer to the one way ticket to trash, if you see what I mean .
It's not good nor practical to force seller to put actual picture(s) of all
the used parts, both hobbyist and professional has better use of their time I
guess.
Plus, asking for every single part before ordering is not good either, some sellers
didn't took time to reply to potential buyer's question already.
And when seller put description, it's quite subjective, one adjective is
far to describe actual shape of a part: "bite marks, yellowish", ok but how many
marks, how deep ?
how much "yellowished" is the brick ?
Some may claims "quite good", some other "I can't send them to trash".
A quality score could be added to a used part. It would be used as well to set
the sell price, as trash-ready used parts can lower the infamous "average 6 months"
and lower ALL prices, which is very unfair for like new parts.
Any thoughts ?

The other site that has various categories of Used was the #1 reason I will never
use it, unless BL goes away. I do not want to have to make my judgment call
and "hope" that the buyer has the same judgment call on what category of "used"
I selected.
Here is my advice when buying Used. Buy from various sources, when you find
a source that sells you crap compared to others... don't buy from the crap
store anymore and continue buying from the stores that treat you well. For example,
a large % of my Used pieces I am confident I could put down "like-new" and maybe
even sell them as "new" and no one would know the difference. I surely don't
do that but I'm trying to make a point. I don't make too many comments
on Used Items because it isn't necessary. Buyers that purchase from me multiple
times know what to expect, that a large percentage of Used items will be in good-great
condition unless I did make a notation about a specific dent, scratch, etc...
but didn't want to toss the piece as it has value to it, however, still have
the notation that it any piece is Used and could have been played with.
I don't think we need any Buyer Rating system either. This will only cause
uproar when our opinions are ever so slightly different.
Each Store can make their own process as they see fit. I have no issue with anyone
taking the time to do this. I certainly do not have the time to "judge" every
piece though. It would literally be sorting everything once which takes long
enough, and then sorting them all again and instead of having 2 main locations
for items stored (new and used) you would need 4 or 5 or who knows how many to
make sure you are pulling from the correct drawer, bag or akro-mill slot, etc...
There is Positive, Neutral and Negative Feedback available if, as a buyer, anyone
does not agree with what they received from what they purchased.
I understand your argument but I, and I assume many others here, do not have
another 4-8 hours per day to put into subjective scoring. Thanks

Yep, they definitely look tan to me. We will either correct the inventory once
the correct part is in the catalog or mark this entry for deletion and create
a new entry.

Randy I upload a photo of the correct tan pants for that figure. I'm not
sure if I should of entered it as the same part number (print looks the same)
or as a new part number?

I had a shipment of Lego parts recently that were a batch of new and used allegedly
"clean" Lego parts that all stank to high heaven of tobacco smoke. Some sellers
really don't care about the product at all. The b@stard even gave me a negative
feedback for complaining that a product I had paid good money for smelled terrible.

I dunno, I notice most sellers don't even bother to describe their used parts
at all. So I find any description, even an opinion that may be slightly off from
mine, useful to me.
I've skipped sellers in the past due to no description (esp on expensive
instructions). Every junk part I've received has been on the cheaper end
with no description.
Anyway, I don't see a way to police this, honestly. Its too subjective. You
could have a rating system like ebay where you can rate the item "as described"
with up to 5 stars. However this means tons of sellers would now have to actually
take the time to describe their parts.

| I think that many sellers know how to properly describe their lego and to ensure
that "used" lego is not junk. Bite marks, discolouration, deep scratches, and
damage are not part of what "used" means. All of those can only pass as filler
and should be clearly described as such.
I believe the best assurance a buyer has that used parts will be of good quality
is to choose a seller with a significant amount of positive feedback.
Buyers can also help themselves by regularly informing sellers if used parts
do not meet the standards for listing.

Depends on how much more $ buyers want to pay for used parts tp compensate for
the added time involved with listing,sorting,storing multiple conditions of the
same part.

In another site, there are different used ratings, Used (like new), used (good),
used (acceptable). i think this is a good idea.
Of course any seller can lie, and list a chewed part as like new, but then they
also could list a used set as new sealed if they wish, feedback should reflect
that.
