| Hello Vintage Lego Collectors!
I have just inventoried the elusive 1064-1 set from 1981
I got this superRARE set from a Swedish guy in 2017.
This Dacta set, according to him, was given for free to pediatric departments.
That's why so few survived.
The set is composed by a box, 6 cardboards instructions, 396 bricks&parts and
6 minifigures
There are 6x different instructions, 1 for each miniset included in the box.
Each instruction is printed on cardboard and also depicts a visual inventory
of each miniset.
I am very proud that now ALL Vintage Dacta Town sets have been inventoried!!!

Yes go to Catalog main page, find section What's New, column "More" there
you have "Pending approval". There is everything what is pending: items, images,
invetories, change requests.

Many thanks again!

I never noticed this for any set before, but the inventory shows a change log.
When you click on it no changes are shown. You might report this as a bug.

There is no link to inv change log on inventory page for this but
"...inventoried this Set on Oct 3, 2003, inventory last updated on Oct 19, 2003."
There is more such things, yesterday I notice this also here
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?M=sw052
Admin inventoried this Minifig on Feb 6, 2003, inventory last updated on Feb
7, 2003.
Here is only one day of difference but also no change log.
Was there any inventory change log invented on Bricklink in 2003? I think not
and that is why this discrapancy. Check here
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogLogs.asp?utm_content=subnav
for inventories first logs are from 2004 for catalog from 2005.

Marek and Randy, what I noticed with a few of these sets around 1990 is that
there were typically two editions - an early version without the separator and
a later version with the separator. I added an inventory note to at least one
such set:

I would like to see the absence of data simply as zeros, so like any other item,
I can discern how well that part sells. Seeing that this part basically never
sells is more certain information than seeing nothing at all.
The absence of the price guide makes it look like a catalog error.

Price guide only appears for green with option for red, however the red variant
shows as an option in the one set it appears in:
Red variant shown in set inventory that gives price guide AND green variant.
I'm not sure if this is a duplicate page issue or the price doesn't
show for pieces that have no sales, which it should imo, because otherwise at
first glance it looks like the piece does not exist in the catalog.

I think that this part on photo is LBG but due to lighting conditions could be
overexposured when taking photo. Model is black mainly so camera could had longer

It's the LBG 1x9 lift arms that have a stickered anti-slip tread pattern.
I can see one in the main image as above, and it seems to be on a WHITE 1x9 lift

Can anyone verify whether this is indeed the case?

Hi stickers must be always applied as instruction shows. If instruction is imprecise
then official photos of model should be check. In this case it easy.
Two stickers with anti-slip tread pattern are applied to LBG 1x9 liftarms.
Instruction book2 pages 20 and 22

Four are applied to four black 1x8 tiles

Thank you so much for that.
The tile is obviously what has stumped me as I have those as well..
I'll be adding that as well too...

Minifigure inventories, by the way, can't include alternate parts. Okay,
so here is what I did:
1. Every affected minifigure in both sets now include inventory notes.
2. Both sets now include inventory notes.
3. Both sets now include the other heads as alternates. This is a new approach
which Marek and I are trying out.
This should correct all the issues you raised.
Three of the four possible variants have been confirmed to have appeared, so
the fourth variant (black eyebrows, blocked stud: 3626bpb0628) is the only one
I added without having confirmation that it appeared in the sets. I think the
likelihood that this variant would have appeared in these very popular sets at
some point in their production run was high enough to include it.

Thanks for taking care in such a short while!
I will go on putting them in my inventory tomorrow with an extra note and link
to the description.
Have a nice weekend!

You're welcome! I work for you, you know.
Minifigure inventories, by the way, can't include alternate parts. Okay,
so here is what I did:
1. Every affected minifigure in both sets now include inventory notes.
2. Both sets now include inventory notes.
3. Both sets now include the other heads as alternates. This is a new approach
which Marek and I are trying out.

Give me a few minutes while I see what can be done with the inventories of these
two sets to make things better.

| I have 2 Lego education sets, 9348 and 9349.
In both sets the males have head 3626bpb0628 (head with black eyebrows) instead
of 3626bpb0121 (head with brown eyebrows).
In both sets the heads are not even with different eyebrows but also with stud
recessed instead of blocked open stud with triangle.
There is a note below the 22 minifigs of set 9348 regarding the two possible
different heads, not with the set 9349.
Also only a note below the list of 22 minifigs, NOT with the individual minifigs.
Eventhough the minifigs of set 9348 have a note regarding the black instead of
brown eyebrows I think this would not be enough, it does not show on a picture
or with the minifig inventory.
So it is very rudimentary in my opinion.
Although I have the minifigs in hands I do not have the possibility anymore to
upload the right minifigs due to the use of an iPad. Bricklink needs a code below
the minifig and parts, this cannot be done with an iPad.
Bricklink cadmin can make a note below set 9349 like with set 9348 but I think
this is not the real Bricklinkway.
If customers do not read the line below the 22 minifigs they might believe they
received the wrong minifig because inventory does not show the alternate head
and because the note regarding the different heads/eyebrows do not show at the
minifigure itself.
What can be done with this isue due to the lack of a laptop/computer?

that the 7261-2 uses 8 more of the pins with stop bush than the 7261-1. 4 of
them are accounted for in my previous pictures.
For the remaining ones, from my previous pictures, you could see 2 additional
black pins - these also end up being pins with the stop bush (Page 45 Step 8
to Page 49 Step 17).
Then lastly, Page 55-56, Step 7 to 11 is where the remaining pins with stop bush
are used differently.
I also think that there was a difference in the colour of the 4x4265c Tan versus
Yellow.

Thank you mandr for the pictures and helping me out.
I do now have the link to the instructions I am looking for.
