* 
10134-1 (Inv) Y-wing Attack Starfighter - UCS
1485 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2004
Sets: Star Wars: Ultimate Collector Series: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

* Add 2 Part 41855 Light Bluish Gray Brick, Modified 2 x 2 x 2/3 Two Studs, Lip End (Alternate) (match ID 1)
* Change 2 Part Light Bluish Gray 47457 Brick, Modified 2 x 2 x 2/3 Two Studs, Curved Slope End {match ID 0 to 1}

Comments from Submitter:
Original instruction book I own clearly shows part 41885 in step 6 on page 20 and step 6 on page 23, and not part 47457.

In the case of variants, we can't depend on instructions. Does anyone have
a reliable copy of this set to check against?

I knew there was something with default on
But I forgot the debate for turning it off, getting old, hm...

It's not so much that you are getting old but the debate is getting old.


Many things have been debated regularly every 6-12 months and none more than
weights. It has been a constant in my 10 years here! It is one of the issues
that makes me long for post retention of longer than 6 months, which is also
a regular suggestion.

I know it does show minimum purchase in the search results, but being able to
just exclude these stores, would be helpful.

Voted YES also

please implement

It should be default to show weights.
Where do you know that it is off by default?


If a seller is new I usually just ask them to turn the weights on, rather than
quickly deciding to not purchase from them.
In one such discussion the seller did not know how to turn the weights on.
Since I am not a seller, I did not know either.
So I referred the seller to this forum to ask how to enable weights.

It was this conversation where I concluded that the default was off.

Where do you know that it is off by default?

  
Further, whenever a seller decides to turn off this feature, display a message
telling them that this makes it hard for buyers to estimate shipping, and it
is recommended that they leave the weights turned on.
Maybe even tell them that many buyers will choose to NOT buy from them, and instead
choose a seller that has the weights turned on.

I know that I have selected "empty cart" instead of checking out, at the point
I was about the check out, for at least 2 sellers in the last two days, due to
no weights in shopping cart.

I have read the reasons for having weights off. I still don't think it is
necessary (or of benefit) to not display the weights. There are better solutions
to every reason I have seen, for not showing weights.

Buyers are being asked to estimate the shipping cost, close enough to commit
to the order.
Not providing the buyers with the available information to do this estimate is
wrong.

Maybe implement a policy that allows buyers to cancel any order placed where
weights were not visible in the shopping cart without risk of NPB.
This will give sellers more incentive to just make the weights visible.

I recall having to manually enable it. I definitely never disabled it. Maybe
it has changed at some point already.

Same here, in fact a customer asked me why I didn't have it active, I then
found the forum and was kindly pointed in the right direction to activate it!

I think a better solution would be to allow buyers to (not by default) display
the weights in every store, regardless of the store's setting.

That would work for me.
It solves the issue, and might be easier to implement.

A shop with it disabled is most likely a shop I won't bother with, or buy
bare minimum from. So the seller lose potential money from me by having it off.
either from not getting an order or from not selling those extra brick that would
fit nicely into that package. So yes help the newbiees to set the settings right.
