Hello

After having been on BL for a couple of years, both as a buyer and seller and
submitter to the catalog, I wanted to take up the challenge of making an inventory
for a set, and I chose set
 
Set No: 75965  Name: The Rise of Voldemort
* 
75965-1 (Inv) The Rise of Voldemort
157 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2019
Sets: Harry Potter: Goblet of Fire
because I just bought it. At this point,
I have only submitted the sticker sheet to the catalog, and I'm stuck with
10 parts that seem to be new (their PCCs don't exist on BrickLink and I can't
find them through search). I have a few questions for the upcoming work.

1) Should I leave it to a professional to do all this work? I'm thinking
that I can't provide professional pictures of the new parts and I can't
name the remaining parts or supply weight for them.

2) If the answer to 1) is "no", could someone please help me identify the remaining
10 parts or provide me with good names for the parts so I can add them to the
catalog? What do I do with the weight of the parts? I don't have a weight
with the precision needed.

Attached are pictures of the 10 new parts.

/Jan

Here's the right other side of Peter Pettigrew's head (the first two
images show the same side).

They are mostly minifigs parts, legs, torsos etc. For inventory you should add
comelete minifigures assemblies as showed in the instruction.

This baby infant should be also added as minfig

After you add those as minifigs to the set than you can do their inventories

legs:
another new printed legs for the catalog
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=970c00%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
another new printed torsos
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=973pb%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
another new printed heads
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=3626c%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1

You can add them as separate parts also (by checking how they are listed in the
catalog at above links) but inv admins will require complete minifigs for this
inventory

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=199
"Minifigures - Include whole minifigures as seen in the instructions without
any hand-held accessories. Parts included in minifigures should not be included
in the Regular Items section. Sometimes a set may contain more of the same parts
found on a minifigure in the set (for example: a set includes three helmets with
castle chin guard, but only one of them is on the minifigure). In these cases
include the whole minifigure and then include any additional parts in the Regular
Items section."

I do think I'm capable of creating the parts/minifigs/inventory correctly,
but as previously stated, I don't know what names I should use for the parts
and minifigs, and I can't supply correct weight of all of them, neither can
I supply professional photos. I need help with that.

BTW, I found the hat. It's part 17349 (previously only been released with
print, e.g.
 
Part No: 17349pb01  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Hat, Cone Drooping, Wizard with Silver Stars and Gold Crescent Moon Pattern
* 
17349pb01 Minifigure, Headgear Hat, Cone Drooping, Wizard with Silver Stars and Gold Crescent Moon Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear
).

As complete minfigs check how other in Harry Potter are named then name it similar.
Names of minfigs should be also how LEGO names them on the box or in the offcial
description of set. (It is on LEGO S&H page)
https://shop.lego.com/en-PL/product/the-rise-of-voldemort-75965
"Includes 4 minifigures: Harry Potter™ with wand and Triwizard Challenge outfit,
Lord Voldemort™ with wand, Peter Pettigrew with wand and a Death Eater™."
So there you have minfig names

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&catString=227&itemBrand=1000&catType=M&v=1

as for weight it is not needed when submitting item to the catalog. Those things
are only needed to get things approved
number
name
image

and that is it.

Weight can be later added by users who can weight it.

Images also don;t need to be super professional
some examples
 
Minifig No: bio032  Name: Inika Toa Kongu
* 
bio032 Inika Toa Kongu
Minifigures: BIONICLE
 
Minifig No: frnd323  Name: Friends Stephanie - Gymnast
* 
frnd323 (Inv) Friends Stephanie - Gymnast
Minifigures: Friends
 
Minifig No: jw053  Name: Danny Nedermeyer - Flower Shirt
* 
jw053 (Inv) Danny Nedermeyer - Flower Shirt
Minifigures: Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar

till we can see what item looks like it is ok.

there are many users who can later correct images to better one.

As for parts names just this advise just look how other similar parts are named
and adjust it to your part

Example one of your torso, look how other are named, there are some things which
are in all torsos names.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=973pb%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
last one as an example
 
Part No: 973pb3617c01  Name: Torso Female Ninjago Robe, Black Hem, Dark Azure Scarf, Sash and Trim Pattern / Pearl Dark Gray Arms / Black Hands
* 
973pb3617c01 (Inv) Torso Female Ninjago Robe, Black Hem, Dark Azure Scarf, Sash and Trim Pattern / Pearl Dark Gray Arms / Black Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.
and template for naming torsos
Torso [here you enter describtion what pattern is on torso] Pattern / [color]
Arms / [color] Hands

These have now been added to the set inventory.

Now awaiting approval of minifig and set inventories and job should be done.

Approx. 6 hours of unpaid work leaving me with a used set. I think that'll
be my first and last inventory. But thanks for letting me try it out.
