If that part ever appeared in a set, then it would need to be added to the set
to get known color information to show up.
However, I think it is just the print from
* |  | 30119pb01 Wing Plate Bi-level 8 x 4 and 2 x 3 1/3 Down with Silver/Orange/Black UFO Logo Pattern
Parts: Wing |
printed on the wrong part.
In that case, the part should probably not even be in the catalog.
Cheers,

I actually think this part should be deleted. It looks like I found it in error.
The part that I have on hand is actually 30119pb01 (up vs. down). It also appears
that the 30118pb03 pictured in the inventory is a printed on the wrong part.

The catalog panel was informed of this merge project months before it was announced

Unless there was a meeting I missed somehow, I do not recollect that we were
informed of this project or asked to give any input or suggestions. There was
a brief mention that there was a variant project but no details or timetables
were ever given. Considering that many people on the Panel were among those who
expressed surprise and dismay when this was all introduced, I would think that
those meetings would indeed have been an ideal place to breach the subject with
the members at large.

the catalog, but nothing specific, I must have missed it too.

looked at. But it would have been good to know how the project would be introduced

He only claims that we were informed of the project and that is the truth. We
were told that it existed.

This can only be fixed by replacing the minifigure in the set inventory. But
the correct minifigure (with 973pb0280c01) must first be added to the catalog.

It isn't the only proof. There is only one set that occurred after the underside
torso design changed and that is 10040. The black buckle torso has the modern
underside so there isn't much possibility it could be any other set.

“ For the first year after a set was originally released, inventories will only
be accepted from sealed set contents. Exceptions may be made for bundle packs,
certain accessory sets or service packs which only contain very few items, and
also for sets that were distributed in an open (non-sealed) packaging. If no
inventory was created during the first year, then any source may be used to create
an inventory.”

not investing in any of the variants.

We knew the hardest thing about this project was having to undo some work that
the community had done. The important thing moving forward, though, is that no
one is going to keep investing in that handful of variants that we removed. This
will also force us to consider more closely the addition of variants in the future,
to avoid this happening again.
And, like I said clearly before, we have a complete record of all modern inventory
change requests. They are all preserved in the Forum for those that want to see
what you discovered in your sealed sets. And the vast majority of your work is
still completely intact and helping other members, so let's not paint this
as a total loss.

It's been on the list since day one. The purpose was to remove distinctions
based on the shape of the axle hole.
32064c was renamed to 32064a and was retained.

The seller probably didn’t think too much about it. I wouldn’t have been able
