  Ah yes, thank you Paul for giving me my opening. I actually have submitted things
only to have it rejected. I'm sure I didn't fill out the form correctly,
not for a lack of effort, I just find the form to be convoluted as heck. If
it were a bit more user friendly, I think it make a huge difference in soliciting
volunteer submissions.

It's fairly easy.

For any part that is stickered, you will need to find the numerical identifier
of the last one to be issued, and for that, I use the add an image section to
find it.

Have 3 tabs up,

1st is the catalogue.
2nd is Add an image section
3rd is Add a Part section.

Say that you want to add a stickered 45deg 1x2 slope.

Find the highest number of that particular part you can quickly find.

input that number in the add image box, and it should show that part in a description.

Cycle through numbers by 10 until you get an error, and then decrease the numbers
until you then get a description, and you can then increase by 1 to get the next
sequential number.

Take a reasonable good picture of the part, preferably in daylight, or under
multiple lights, to eliminate shadows, and resize the pic to a Thumbnail on the
PC. (upload the picture, but don't submit the image yet)

Go to the add part section.

Add the number and identifier to the necessary boxes, along with the dimensions,
weight and such.

Use the same description(s) that other like parts have been added to the catalogue
before, and try to be accurate as possible.

Add the part to the catalogue.

Go back to the image section, and when you click on the verify , it should bring
up the item that you have just submitted, and you can then submit the corresponding
image.

I've done this with some of my mug collection, and will be doing others soon.

Have fun!

Paul

  It doesn't matter to me what we call it. I just wish the database was a
little more inclusive. For example, the sticker patterns from set 41150 are
still MIA on the database.

Set 41150

 
Set No: 41150  Name: Moana's Ocean Voyage
* 
41150-1 (Inv) Moana's Ocean Voyage
295 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2017
Sets: Disney: Disney Princess: Moana

Why not buy the set and then add the stickered parts yourself?

Just remember, ALL of the pictures and set inventories are done by volunteers,
who spend time to collect parts and photograph them, adjust the ratios, colours
and what not, to add them to the catalogue.

I've done a few parts in my time, and to be honest, if I were getting paid
to do this, I'd be over it like a rash, but, hey, working with LEGO is a
labour of love....

Try it and see....

Comments from Submitter:
Just disassembled one of these sets, and the set was a new one, direct from a sealed box, and the feel of the elements confirm this, and there was a mix of this part and the newer one, hence this request

In this set are 16x LBG of alternate mold for this you want to add
[p=32064b]
are you sure the quantity? (11x)

Yes, I had a mix, of which it was 5 of the newer type, and 11 of the older type,
hence the numbers quoted.
