You might want to try explaining exactly what the 'differences' are.
Your list is not descriptive enough. If you are confident of your corrections,
you should file a change request for the inventory here:

I submitted changes along this train of thought long ago but they were not approved.
It is a 1x1 Liftarm in actuality but functions only as a bushing. I support moving
it to a more appropriate category.

Standard torsos all start with:

pb (abbreviation for a part with a decoration)
xxxx (current number available)
c (abbreviation for a part that is an assembly)
01 (current number available for this assembly)

To find the next available number, do a Catalog (NOT All Items) search for 973pb*
then sort by Date, Order: Down
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&q=973pb%2A&catLike=W&sortBy=I&sortAsc=D&itemBrand=1000&v=1
Looks like 3472 was just used. I checked the Approval Pending Overview and 3473
and 3474 are Pending, so list yours as: 973pb3475c01

Hello,
I am sure the admins will repost their policy about Extras for you. However,
I will just quickly let you know that extras vary by region and that it is very
common to find a large part such as this as an extra in a small set in the US

No, that doesn't help at all. Why can't sellers have an option to search
their inventory for items without dimensions so we can add our own? Unfortunately
there are a lot of items in the catalogue without dimensions that have been set
by default as weight bound rather than volume bound that can't (In Australia
at least) be sent as a large letter as they will exceed the 20mm maximum thickness.
This wasn't as big an issue in the past, but now with instant checkout it
is. Why should it matter if an item does or doesn't fit within the normal
stud/brick height system? Surely the main purpose of dimensions is for calculating
postage costs?
It's not that difficult to pull out a ruler or tape measure and measure
something. I'm happy to do it myself to my own inventory, just give me the
option to search for items that don't have catalogue dimensions like we can
for items without weight.
|
First, I didn't make this system and I would certainly NEVER defend it.
I was just trying to explain some the details.
Second, you can absolutely look up parts missing shipping dimensions in your
inventory. I don't use Instant Checkout, but I believe there is a checkbox
for Instant Checkout Unavailable on your My Inventory page.
Your original post seemed to be asking about item dimensions which are not the
same thing.

| | This is one of the incongruities of BrickLink. Dimensions are measured in studs
(system or duplo) in the Catalog, but the override fields below a lot entry are
in millimeters.
For example, a Duplo Brick 2600 shows on the catalog page as "Size: 2 x 6 x 1
in studs", but underneath a listed lot it is …
DimX(mm): 96mm
DimY(mm): 23.6mm
DimZ: (mm) 32mm
(and yes, the semi-colon is used inconsistently there)
I do not wish that we entered by studs for manual overrides, but it's clear
to me that the system is converting from one to another for the benefit of IC.
It's also clear that you can override any part to any set of dimensions if
you wanted to.

The incongruity exists because BL has not yet decided to implement the newer
shipping data within the existing catalog structure and database.
Each part has a data field in the catalog for Item Dimensions (listed on each
catalog page as Size.) This is measured approximately in studs / brick height.
The data is supplied by members and is maintained by the Catalog Admin though
the forms on the Add or Change tab.
The newer shipping dimensions data was put in place along with Instant Checkout.
This data is only in mm. The data is not visible except on the My Inventory and
Order Detail pages. The data is maintained by the staff at BrickLink and is submitted
by members on a thread here in the Forum. I believe they originally calculated
many of their measurements from the catalog Item Dimensions data. They have not
maintained consistency in which measurements are X, Y, or Z, or how precise measurements
must be. However, you can change the data for each part in your own shop from
your Inventory detail page.
Hope that helps,

(Curved train track, some rollercoaster track) which are potentially too big
to send in a letter.
Prohibiting new sets from being inventoried without all the parts having weights
and dimensions would be a big help too, providing users don't add arbitrary
values which seems to be the case for 99% of instruction books at the moment.
|
There are more than 20,000 items in the catalog without dimensions. Catalog dimensions
are only added when the item fits within the normal stud/brick height system.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=3&itemDim=0
1x1 brick: dimensions are 1x1x1 in studs
minifig torso: ?
If it can't be reasonably measured in studs vs brick height, a part will
have no data at all.

It is unfortunate you were caught short of these parts. I have heard this argument
so many times that it is indeed frustrating! However, the part out process has
a 'This part may or may not appear in your set' warning on every single
extra line item. Not sure why sellers would ignore this kind of warning?

Could the package weight be different depending on country? (an inventory is

There is absolutely a 10-25% difference in the weight of most sets between the
North American and worldwide markets. The difference is the weight of the paper
for the box and instructions and also the different paper size for the instructions.
I kept data on this for years and compared hundreds of sets. A significant portion
of the sets, boxes, and instructions on BrickLink would need to have two separate
weights in order to be accurate for everyone.
You can always set your own weight for items listed in your shop.

I believe that if this were the case, there would be many, many more nearly similar
parts in our catalog. 
Sellers have to be able to identify which part they have in hand with no more
then the text and image for reference. There needs to be some detail that isn't

|
| Hello,
Here are my initial thoughts on this subject. There are several reasons that
I like the current system of using set numbers on minifigs.
1) I think a minifig that only appears in one set should have a set number. I
would be willing to go as high as 3 set numbers in the Name before I feel it
would be annoying. It is useful for searches and anything useful should not be
easily discarded.
2) When a new minifig is added to the catalog and before the set it appears in
is inventoried and approved, the only way you can find it is with its name or
the set number in the title. It would not yet have the link for 'Item Appears
In.' This is the most important reason to keep the number.
3) Brickset links to our minifigs in searches, but only if the set number is
in the Name description:
https://brickset.com/search?query=40108&scope=All
https://brickset.com/minifigs/twn215/balloon-vendor-(40108)
Nice to know the only listing to buy this minifig is on BrickLink! That's
good (free) advertising.
I do also think that adding some more descriptors would be nice on some figs.

I'm not suggesting this is currently a problem, but it does pose issues when

You keep coming back to and picking apart this idea? Please consider:
1) This idea has been asked for from the original BrickLink session in Seattle
more years ago then I would like to count up.
2) It would be a convenience to many users (and especially newbies) to be able
to further constrain their search results. "I am tying to find something, but
there are too many stickered parts in the way" has been stated numerous times
in the Forum over the years.
3) I do not believe that it would be complicated, difficult to implement, or
require touching the database. Each checkbox would simply add the necessary text
string '-pattern' '-sticker' to the search parameters. I have
spoken to people more knowledgeable than me who have assured me this is a real
thing.
4) It could appear within the search bar at the top of any catalog search results
page. One checkbox to Hide Decorated parts. One checkbox to Hide Stickers. The
new page designs are already likely wide enough to accommodate this. Try it searching
for 'tile 1x6' and then 'tile 1x6 -sticker' to get a feel for
how it might function when someone is looking for a part. Then, try 'legs
hips' and 'legs hips -pattern'
5) There would be less pressure on the admins to split some categories if these
options were easily available to everyone. Splits are still needed and necessary,
but I will restate that this would simply alleviate some of the pressure to do
so.
I admit that I do not really understand where you are coming from with these
last few posts discussing my little afterthought suggestion. It is not feeling
like a discussion much from my end so I am going to say thanks now for adding
your comments and that this is the last I have to say on the matter. I look forward
to this discussion heading back toward catalog issues and not coding for the

Adding individual decorated hips and legs.

I think the legs are pretty much broken once they've come apart.

Changing titles of certain dual-sided heads to reflect this fact and splitting
heads into single-side print and dual-side print categories.
|
Disagree. Dual-sided is not the same as printed front and back. Dual-sided means
there are two faces to choose from. Printed front and back means there are also
details printed on the back. To call one of these Dual is inaccurate. It is not
meant to be put on the minifig backwards.
I think Dual-sides should be left alone and any head with back printing get a
mention of it is the Name if possible. Most images already show this.

Reorganizing/renumbering certain mini doll legs to reflect a change in production
methods.

This would help with the difference between
which has Tan printed shoes on Dark Blue plastic (despite it's
current description) and
[p=92253c00pb05] which is molded with Dark Blue and Tan plastic.

However, you are opening up a nice can of worms here! Are you going to start
differentiating between printed patterns and molded patterns all over the catalog
or just here?? I do not envy you this task.

Splitting decorated/non-decorated minifigure legs.
|
Sure it is convenient! (But also easily achieved with a -pattern search??) There
should be a check box on every catalog search page to 'Hide Decorated Parts.'
Ta dah! Problem solved.
Thanks!

No, I had not planned on changing any item numbers for any minifigures. They

Please clarify what you're saying here. What exactly would mix up your sorting
system and in what way?
|
I don't want to speak for novabrick, but it would mess up my sorting system
if the number where changed. If I had this minifig in a bag marked 'gen002'
and then got an order for minifig: 'cas999.' I would be looking for the
wrong item number to fill my order. That's why some of us are wary of changes
to part numbers, categories etc. Unless we regularly check our stock against
the Change Log, we only find out about things when an order is placed and we
go hunting for a part. It is understandable since the Catalog is a living breathing
thing, but it does cost some time. I need a little note or something to remind
myself:
Don't Look Twice, Check the Change Log First!
Hope that helps!

I assume that it should include flames, water, lightning (and I would say power
bursts...)? It is very likely that this group of items is going to expand, I
totally see new lightning and fire flashes being released the coming years. They
risk either crowding the (Other) category if they do not look "wavy" enough,
or making the "wave" category something really unclear. I see lightning bolts
are already described as "wave", I would not expect that. But I really do see
it makes sense to group these kinds of things together. But I'd prefer a
different name... something like "effects" or something in that direction...
|
I like the idea of Energy Effects. Blasts, bolts, waves and flames (and whatever
else LEGO thinks up) could all fit nicely. Kind of.

I don't think this zipline is for people. It is either for minifigs or used
as a very flexible hose.

Hello,
I don't know if it is a big enough project for the Roadmap, but I would like
to see the names for the rubber bands cleaned up a bit. The 'Approx'
measurements are a bit off and the actual mm measurements from Lego would be
more useful I believe. I can't find the old post where I wrote it all up
originally, but here is the image I created to illustrate the issue:
Randyf might also be a good resource for any info needed for this project.
Thanks as always,
Jen

| | Okay - our fist suggestions:
1. Get the dimensions field added to the catalogue page display as well as in
stores.
2. Introduce a level above the categories for the purposes of reporting and searching
e.g. Bricks would cover all sub categories of bricks e.g. modified, decorated
round etc. Without the catalogue it is unlikely Bricklink would still be here.
Just those two thoughts will take development time and careful planning and I
am sure those that are more heavily invoiced with the catalogue and inventory
updates will have tons more they wish to see.
Good luck getting any of that done - a roadmap is an interesting start and welcome
but it has to fill out with actions rather than just remaining a blueprint (as
the other one has done).
|
I would just like to quickly point out that the Catalog admins don't have
the ability to make developmental changes to the site. It won't be their
fault if your suggestions can't be implemented in a timely way. This road
map contains projects and ideas that don't require the BL office to facilitate.
Good ideas though!

I dont know if I did this right or not. But I think the comic con unikitties should have the full list of parts without having to go into the inventory of each minifigure. The other face plate + eyebrows is already on the inventory page. Dont know what the issue with no image for her tail is. I have the proper item id and presumed color code down.

And what of the 30 or so other Unikitty figs in the catalog?
