| | Zorbanj, Thanks for the help. These two sites both showed my package fell into
he same hole at Russian/German border. It is good to have my previous info confirmed.
May I ask your opinion: at what point do I start making a fuss - sender says
"the package will get there, stop bothering me".

As a Polish user, I'm very concerned that there's a border between Germany
and Russia.

We have this torso which appears to be the torso for cty1217 Dad and lots of
other figures.
when double checking via details the torso in details has two buttonholes and
the V neck is lower on the torso. Confused.
Thanks for your help.

This guy seems to have your version: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=cty1217#T=P
Either they changed it at some points or we're talking about two different
versions that are not catalogued properly

| | Hi
I have had this in my collection for years and have finally got around to adding
to the catalog. Problem is I’m not really sure where it needs to go so hoping
for some help here.
Attached are a few photos of the wooden chess set. It was apparently a colleague
gift a few years ago but the majority of the information I could find was from
a YouTube video. It comes in a white box with Lego logo, the lego logo is also
on the front of the board. The whole thing is made from wood, the top of the
lid can be lifted to show the game board and the entire lid can be taken off
to show all the pieces etc.
I imagine this should go in the gear section, does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks, Gary

I guess "Toy, Wooden" is the closest? If in doubt, just add it and let admins
worry about the category

Yes, it’s counter-intuitive because your intuition is to think shape (plate modified)
has a higher priority than function (hinge), and so they should be in the category
“plate modified.”
Or your intuition’s to think that the shape should always be in the description
so that you can find the part even when it’s not in the category named from the
shape. But that’s also counter-intuitive that a category doesn’t contain all
the parts that fall under its name.

It's all my brain's fault! As always!

You know that you can't get fees if we can't sell stuffs, right?
If you want us to sell more items, please do something with the inventories...
75393 for example
|
It's being verified already, just a little bit more patience.
As a side note, you clearly have the set, so why not inventory it? I bought it
just to do so and you don't see me complaining in two separate threads.

| | Hi,
The inventory of the 75939 has been added on june first. but we can not still
part out the set.
I guess Lego do not care about getting fees from Bricklink...
Lego should hire someone who can be responsable for inventories.
Why do we have to make the job of Bricklink and Lego?
Bricklink and Lego should give reward for the people who take their extra time
to register all the sets...
Could someone do something about it?
|
I bought the other sets to inventory them, but at the time this one was reserved
by someone else. It isn't clear now whether they decided not to do it or
their reservation just timed out. I don't remember who it was.
|
They have communicated that they are not going to do the inventory. I will free
it up for you.
|
I'm sorry if I seemed to imply it, but I am not planning to do the set at
this time. I have all I need on my plate at the moment.
|
Alright, I'll do it. I recently got the parting-out ich and it looks pretty
interesting.

Comments from Submitter:
I’m not sure I filled this out correctly. 433789 says 8 but book inventory is 6. Could also add one to extras. 433786 says 13 but book says 12. 1 should be under extras. 433783 says 2 but book says 1. 1 should be assed to extras.

Make that “added” not “assed” ...
|
"Assed" is so much funnier though

| Interesting, I would love to see a photo of your "SIP wall". Maybe you should
look into buying boxes and instructions to fully complete the sets?
To answer your question, Category Element Part seems correct, but I think
that Part is already a Piece, by your nomenclature. I guess the proper BrickLink
way would be Category Item (for a certain item) and then maybe Piece for an
Item in specific color. Maybe you should also introduce "Mold" into the database,
because--as you probably know--some of the old items used to look quite
different.
But my most important point is: if you're adding all your pieces to a database,
why not add them to BrickLink inventory? Even better, you can try Rebrickable,
which will give you a lot of interesting options when looking into completing
sets.

| | Hi all.
BACKGROUND: Let my start by saying that unlike my grandchildren, Marcus and
Soren, I am not a "Master Builder". I am a "Master Collector." My brick hobby
is to purchase long forgotten brick collections from parents of teen + former
brick fan that have been collecting dust in the basement or attic for years.
Once in my possession, I discard the fake pieces, wash the real ones then sort
them out looking for the special pieces that will tell me which sets the original
owner possessed.Then I try to re-assemble those sets.
PROBLEM: Currently, I have about 330 sets that I have identified as previously
owned. Those are my SIPs, "sets-in-progress." Each SIP has a container where
I store the parts that I've located. Together those 330 SIPs consist of
approximately 56,000 pieces. Of those, I have located about 23,000 pieces and
I am still looking for the other 23,000 pieces. I would guess my personal brick
collection consists of 100,000+ pieces that are not currently assigned to a SIP.
They are sorted and stored in other many other containers. When I need to locate
a piece for a SIP I look in about 5 "likely" containers then give up. Do I not
have the piece or is just in one of the many many "unlikely" containers?
SOLUTION: I'm building a MySQL Database to keep track of my collection.
Using BL's category system, there exist many bricks, slopes, arches etc.,
based more or less on shape. Within the sub-category bricks there are 1x1,
2x2, 2x4 etc., more or less based on size.
QUESTIONS: Q1;What are these sub-categories called? I would call them an ELEMENT.
is that correct? is there a better name for the sub-categories? Further, the
sub-categories such as 1x1 bricks of course come in many colours. Q2: What are
these sub-sub-categories called, or what are these ELEMENTs with a particular
colour called? I would call them a PART. Correct? Any other better name?
Q3; Lastly, if I hold in my hand, one blue 1x1 brick, what should that be called?
I would suggest that is a PIECE. Correct? Any better answer?
CATEGORY :: ELEMENT :: PART :: PIECE ??

For items that are not extras, you use
[EXTRA]N[/EXTRA]
and for items that are extras, you use
[EXTRA]Y[/EXTRA]
Obviously, replace the square brackets with angled brackets.

| Hey, I'm trying to help with the 21159 set, but it would be my first inventory
job, so I'm hitting a block early on.
It looks like the set has one of those:

taken by:
which has a different build (plates instead of brick). What to do, I wonder?
