For your sake, you better hope they don't run a queuing system where the
last email received determines the order of response, like if you deal with emails
received in order of earliest received that hasn't been answered or updated.

Flooding is also a good way to end on a stoplist.

Do I understand correctly that the hair, round plate, and light saber were missing
from the minifig? If that's the case then I could see why it was removed
- 3-4 pieces out of a total of 7-8 were missing.

The main part is only one piece, so three of the four pieces of the figure were
missing. Once we have a chance to get the inventories for these figures into
the catalog, there will be no confusion over them.

Wel, the figures are only 19 years old.

Prior administrators would not let them be inventoried. The current team decided
to allow them to be inventoried later last year. All we are waiting for are good
images of the figures without all of the pieces that can come off easily. If
you would like to help with that, please do so.

I got 1 or 2 of them (I think obi wan (and maybe Anakin?)). If you need anything
specific please let me know

Read above.

"All we are waiting for are good images of the figures without all of the

I did but wasn’t sure what it meant

should I print them off and send them
to bricklink in the USA or make entires for the parts or something else

I wouldn’t bother.... Try to be helpful, Get an unhelpful response!

I’m not sure what it means either? I could try to guess but it’s certainly not
worded very clear!?

I wonder what happened to this site after Lego took over. Theres absolutely no
response whatsoever from the admins when requesting a NSS removed. I have been
trying for 2 months and send several messages to Them but nothing happens

Being a seller inhere for 10+ years this site here seems to turn into a moneymaking
joke for the team running it

I have decided now to send 10-20 e-mails a Day to Them with the same request
just to get a response. Absolutely madness I am forced to do like this JUST TO
GET A RESPONSE

You’ve just got the cut them a little slack, I know it’s majorly annoying but
that’s how it is. It’s also like what UTLF was saying, they’re (I suppose) understaffed
and lacking resources. (Despite being bought by LEGO 🤷‍♂️)
Sending 10-20 messages per day is effectively spamming/clogging the system even
more thus reducing the likelihood you get a response.

You need to understand that Bricklink is owned by a small family company that
struggles to make ends meet each and every month, so they don't have the
time or resources to improve things that actually matter.

The help desk has, at the very least, a 4 month backlog (as people have been
saying for the past 12 months) and there's (allegedly) only 1 guy dealing
with all the support tickets. He's locked in the cold, dark basement and
only given saltine crackers and milk for sustenance. He hasn't seen the light
of day since he was hired 5 years ago, and all he knows is the bluish hue of
the computer screen that degrades his retinas day-by-day. Please cut Bricklink
some slack, they're doing all they can to help the userbase.

Consider donating more money with your monthly fees so they can maybe hire more
customer service people for the umpteenth time in the past 2 years... maybe that'll
help, or maybe they'll just get better at brainstorming excuses as to
why they're getting nothing meaningful done; it's like gambling, but
without the fun or chance to win anything.

Is there a way to search for multiple parts from one seller without searching
in each seller’s inventory individually? Thank you.

Just create a "wanted list" by hitting the heart button on all the parts
you want and then click "Auto-buy", and the algorithm will find a store
that has the parts you want.

That would be “EasyBuy” (from the list of lists) or “Auto-select” (from the Buy
page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page ).

Prefer Auto-select because it follows the filters on the Buy page, whereas EasyBuy
has no filter (but requires fewer clicks…).

"Heart button" I've been around kids too much...the favorite button

I generally say “heart-shaped icon”

If your fig wasn't removed automatically by some algorithm, it was likely
due to the missing hair and round plate. Also, the other are still listed someone
reported yours and not the others.

And this had been discussed prior and was said that the figure can be listed
that way since it does not have an inventory. Which doesn't make send because
the figure can be inventoried since the parts are removable. But the fact mine
was taken down and not the others is ridiculous. Especially since this was the
agreed upon previous policy.

I don't remember this policy, but we did decide a few years ago to not allow
the inventorying of Technic minifigures and this presented the same sort of problem,
because we removed entries for the individual parts, like the foot.

Frayed capes and wands that do not light up will not cause a listing to be removed.
Missing hairpieces, missing capes, missing 1 x 1 round plates or any other missing
part WILL result in the listing being removed if reported.

An inventory is not necessary to determine if basic components are missing from
a listing. The image, the instructions, the Item Name, and any Additional Catalog
Notes all help set the scope of the entry.

The appropriate place for items missing parts is the Custom Items section. We
need to do a better job helping sellers list under the custom item section and
helping buyers find these listings. In fact, the whole section could use more
exposure in general.

Well yes if items like this and incomplete sets need to be listed as custom lots
then that's fine but just like how custom items appear at the top within
in a store search I think the same should apply to Custom lots within a generic
search. For instance on this page where I've done an example search for 'Lando'
:-

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=lando#T=A

There are two custom Lando minifigures including one of my own minifigs without
cape but they are right at the very bottom of the page (that's if anyone
should care or think to scroll that far down?) However if they are at the very
top people will notice them yet can still continue to scroll down with purpose
to their desired search be that looking under Lando 'Parts section' or
'Minifigures section' so as far as I can see it should just a case of
rearranging the positioning of the category sections. If that was done then Custom
lots would actually become a lot more worthwhile and nobody would have reason
to complain about being forced to use custom lots
