From the Additional Information About Extra Items section of the Inventory
Sections: Regular, Extra, Counterpart, and Alternate help page:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562#extraItems
Removing or Changing Extra Items - Extra parts can vary depending on when
and where a set was manufactured, meaning that some new sets may include them
and others may not. The quantity of these extra parts can also vary. Extra parts
are typically not removed or reduced in quantity unless it can be determined
that they were originally added or increased in error.
This extra part was found in some sealed copies of this set so it will not be
removed and this request will not be accepted.
Cheers,
Randy

The only color that I could see a chance of getting added would be something
akin to "Metallic Gold" or "Metallic Silver" to separate surface-coated copper
parts from copper-color molded parts. Beyond that, it would be highly unlikely
to get any consensus to make further changes.

| | I need some help identifying the color of the Bionicle mask on the right. It
is part #32573. It came in a large lot of used Bionicle parts, so I don't
know what set it came from originally. Supposedly, it only comes in Black, Blue,
Dark Gray, Light Gray, Lime, Medium Blue, Orange, Tan, Yellow, Copper, and Pearl
Light Gray.
As you can see, this is not any of those colors. I have photographed it with
a copper part next to it, so you can see that it is not copper. The closest
I can figure is that this is chrome pink, but there is nothing chrome about it.
It is more like a pearl dark pink color.
What color do you think it is?
I appreciate your help.
Stan.

This mask is actually a LEGO color known as "Red Flip/Flop" and was only used
for the two Bionicle masks shown in
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15123159082/
The LEGO color "Red Flip/Flop" does not have a specific color on BrickLink and
is lumped under "Copper" since there is no other color close to it.

Thanks for the information, Jonas. 
When I was looking at sets that were built from sealed set contents on brickshelf
for set 7905, *none* of the strings looked particularly thick to me in any of
the photos, either. One of them showed the cardboard sleeve was the exact same
one we are discussing. I have a strong feeling the inventory for 7905 is wrong.
Also, the image for
looks like thin string to me.
I wonder if there even is a 200cm string in medium thickness...
Definitely thin string in that set, also. See attached image.
I don't know what is going on with the rest of the inventories, but your
photo and all of the information I have pieced together is enough to not change
the inventory of this cardboard sleeve.

Not as is for now but
if this part is the correct one in the cardboard sleeve.
But don't think so...
Below picture I took years ago and this is my info:
4276325 - x77cc200 - 1x black - 1x set 7905.jpg
(in my data from own collection and part out sets, it was only found in that
set)
As you can see, it's the same picture here on BL, but someone removed the
black sides

I believe you, but why was your image of the box on
before we removed it? Had you submitted it under the wrong entry or did someone
else have your photo and upload it? Just trying to figure this out.

These requests will not be accepted.
This set was inventoried from "Sealed Set Contents" and confirmed from "Sealed
Set Contents". The set image also shows these parts and the LEGO replacements
parts site has all of these listed in the set. Due to all of this, I find it
highly unlikely that they were not included in the set.

These requests will not be accepted.
The stickers in the set you are trying to add these parts to do not match the
stickers on the parts you are trying to add. They are completely different colors,
even though the pattern is similar. You will need to add the new stickered parts
to the BrickLink catalog before they can be added to the set.

For the
in Dark Gray, there are eight of them used in the alternate build shown on pages
42 (4x) and 46 (4x) of the instruction book for the purple scorpion. Therefore,
the number of these is correct.
As for the rubber bands, you are correct that there are only four used in either
the main builds or the alternate build. However, this set came with eight rubber
bands *at all times* and is corroborated by the official part count on the box

Since the inventory is correct concerning all the parts in your requests, these

The color of the hose in the set is Black (11) but in the inventory it says Dark Gray (10).

I don't know exactly what color it is, but it doesn't look like Dark
Gray or Black in any sets that I have looked at that were built from sealed
sets. The color is sort of a very dark charcoal gray. I have never seen anything
quite like it in LEGO colors, but I don't have any sets with a pneumatic
system. In any case, I believe the color is much closer to Black than Dark Gray
so will accept this request.

Maybe your data is wrong? This image was taken directly from the
entry in the catalog. That is why the current image is no longer available for
that part.
But, I definitely don't know if that image was always correct for that part,
either. It will be looked into.

It is most definitely *not* a stupid question. If I was king around here, there
would be a place we could test this stuff without affecting the live data and
have sellers/buyers give feedback. Unfortunately, we don't have that. Maybe
we will someday...

Hi Randy,
The problem is that it was not just an idea you were trying out.
|
Actually, yes it was. We were trying it out for an entire total of two days.
| | It started to be implemented without notification or explanation and caused issues
for sellers and buyers.
|
We were implementing changes so that the user base would have something to comment
on when the idea was communicated to the user base in a couple of days. That
got sidetracked because someone noticed they were being added to the catalog
after one day. As I said, not a big deal, because we got the feedback we were
looking for earlier than planned and have made significant changes already. Also,
it had yet to cause any problems for anyone. The people that were testing the
idea came up with great constructive feedback on what was happening behind the
scenes, and that feedback was very welcomed (especially from member yorbrick).
| | A user had to find out and made a comment about it.
|
A user found out while the idea was being tested in the first two days. An announcement
was planned for today or tomorrow once the initial work was done. So, a total
of maybe four days from initial work to completion of testing work to communicating
with the user base for feedback. A pretty short timetable that was interrupted
by a user that was "snooping" around.
| | Most of the 'whining and moaning' from the user base, not just to this
'idea' but more in general, is about not communicating to said user base.
|
Did I mention the communication part was coming within a day or two? And am I
or Marek or Russell not communicating now?  Do not confuse the BrickLink corporate
lack of communication with the volunteer admins who communicate very regularly.
Just have a search through the forums and you will see that the volunteer admins
are very present and remain accountable to the users here.
| | Time and time again the user base is confronted with changes that are not always
understood and/or apreciated. In some cases the user base does not even understand
why something needs to be changed, beacause it is not allways clear what the
benefit of it is.
|
For this, it would have all been explained in our announcement message that did
not get a chance to materialize due to someone interrupting the process.
| | And as Russel said, it gives a problem in the part-out system which will have
to be fixed, someday (if ever), and that also is a point for concern.
|
Yeah, we heard that. That is why things have already been rolled back due to
the feedback. I took almost three hours of my personal time last night doing
this by myself ASAP. See, us volunteer admins can get stuff done quickly, unlike
the corporate employees. We also take the feedback we get seriously and try to
work with everyone as best we can as we try to add new things to the catalog.
| | Many things on Bricklink have been broken and a fix is never heard of. So introducing
a new idea while older broken things don't get fixed is a very big issue
for the user base.
|
The volunteer admins have no choice but to move forward with ideas that are needed
for the catalog. We have the time and energy to try and make positive changes
for the user base. The corporate side does not. Eventually, the corporate side
will catch up (from things I have started to hear), but us volunteers have no
say and no way to do what is necessary to the code. We work in the systems we
have.
| | And I know that you can't fix the broken things, but do understand that for
me (as a user) it is very annoying to see.
|
I am sorry to hear you say that. I am also annoyed at the lack of support that
I and the other volunteer admins get from corporate.
| | Russel stated that is was good for the future of Bricklink, but there are so
many things, that if ain't fixed are quite damaging for the Bricklink future
that it's sometimes better not to introduce something new before something
old is working in good order.
|
I agree, but once again, the volunteer admins have the time and energy to try
to do things that help the user base even if the corporate side does not keep
up. We will keep trying new ideas, also, as the Catalog Roadmap lays out:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476
Remember, this isn't a developer roadmap. It is a roadmap for things that
the volunteer admins can do and solve.
Thanks for your comments.
Cheers,
Randy

I usually would prefer to refrain from making a derogatory comment on something
so trivial, but I have to say, that is a new kind of stupid. Give me a break.
|
It is truly bizarre. There is this sleeve, for example:
which contains two minifigure capes. However, this sleeve which is called "Cardboard
Sleeve for Set 70837" doesn't actually appear in set 70837 since it contains
minifigure parts, which are listed with the minifigures. So we now have an entry
for a part that is not included in any sets and so is unlikely to ever be listed
in that way.
Then we have the same where the sleeves contain a single cape, for example:
Again it doesn't belong to any sets despite the name, since it belongs to
a minifigure.
It seems to be a case of making a rule then insisting on sticking to it for all
parts and sets, no matter how stupid the application of the rule is.
|
I've got a great idea! To follow suit, lets start cataloging and selling
the numbered plastic bags that the pieces come in in each box. Actually, why
stop there, lets catalog the empty collectible minifig poly bags too. After
all that's technically LEGO is it not? Give me a break!!!!!!!!!
|
You do realize these catalog entries are for the sealed cardboard sleeves with
contents in them, right? Because I don't think you do...

Thank you for this suggestion. We were trying to come up with a way to not have
to repeat information in the names, but I think this idea is the easiest solution.
We will have to come up with another way to track what sets these come in in
the meantime. I am guessing the additional notes for the sleeves will probably
be the way to go.
Cheers,

|
If the actual parts in the sleeve are listed in the inventory and the (sealed)
sleeves are listed as an alternate for each of the sets they are in, won't
that information already be stored in the catalogue in a meaningful way? Then
someone can look up the number on the sleeve and search for it. It won't
be in any sets as a regular part but will be listed as an alternate for all the
sets it appears in. That way, the set numbers need not be kept in the title or
as additional notes.
Or have I totally misunderstood how alternates work?
|
Yes, you have misunderstood alternates. Alternate parts are parts that are completely
substituted for other parts in a set. These sleeves come in every set they came
in.
As Russell said, we will need to wait for new functionality before we can ever
add these to inventories in a meaningful way that makes it easy for sellers to
part them.
Cheers,
Randy

In any case, we have heard all of the feedback and will be reversing course on
the inventories. We had planned to make an announcement in a few days concerning
this to ask for feedback on what had been done, but we wanted stuff in place
for users to look at. So this thread was not a complete loss to us, but you did
jump the gun on us, Jonas.
Please bear with us as we work out the kinks.

This request was partially correct in the fact that the blanket did indeed need
to be the larger size based on my findings in a sealed set. However, the color
of the blanket is definitely Medium Orange and not Yellow. I have already corrected

It is white printed on dark plastic, so some of the plastic color is transmitted

Removing or Changing Extra Items - Extra parts can vary depending on when

and others may not. The quantity of these extra parts can also vary. Extra parts
are typically not removed or reduced in quantity unless it can be determined

They look like Trans-Light Blue to me. However, if you want to know for sure,
get a black light. Trans-Medium Blue fluoresces *very* strongly under black light.
