white rubber band which holds the two halves
together. The instructions show the rubber band being used in each case. Should
there be an inventory for the part?


As currently set up in the catalogue 29112pb01 is for 1 piece i.e. half of the
assembly and the band is just another separate part. For an assembly the inventory
would need to be 2 x 29112pb01 plus one band but typically assemblies like this
are not catalogued.

Hi Robert - I thought there was all this talk and discussion about assemblies
a short time ago and that has changed but I will bow to your knowledge and separate
them out.

  Good morning

You already have an open request for this issue. I have copied your message
and reposted it to the open request and moved this request from Catalog Requests
to Catalog.

I haven't had time to look at this issue closely, but I will soon.

Noted - we will carry on with our investigations as well.

Good morning

It is now clear from the evidence we have gathered that the catalogue is not
currently correct for these part id's. The part
 
Part No: 87552  Name: Panel 1 x 2 x 2 with Side Supports - Hollow Studs
* 
87552 Panel 1 x 2 x 2 with Side Supports - Hollow Studs
Parts: Panel
is correct but
should only be used for solid colours, similar to the 3004/3065. Both the 94638
and 353787 are for Transparent colours of the same part - we are in the process
of investigating those two parts to see if there is any difference in them.

So far the 94638 comes in 4 transparent colours Trans-Clear, Trans Bright Green,
Trans-Black and Trans-Light Blue. The part also carries a slightly different
description with Lego - incorporating the Letters PC (PolyCarbonite) at the end.

The 35378 is currently only available in Trans-Clear, Trans Light Blue and Trans-Black.

All 3 parts are available through the Lego Bricks & Pieces site as separate items.

What we suggest in the first instance is to separate 87552 and restrict it to
solid colours only. Hopefully in due course we will have the answer on the other
2.

  Can we get some agreement on standards for reporting stud sizes please. some
are re[porting width and length and ignoring height and others are including
height. This happens quite frequently on 1 x 1 items.

Just set a rule or guideline and reject any that do not meet that.

There are already rules and guidelines set:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=261

However, they could definitely be clarified when it comes to parts which don't
fit easy definitions. Therefore, I've added your project to the list:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2473

As for the part you mentioned in a subsequent post, it simply needed a correction
to remove the height and I have fixed it. Thank you for pointing it out.

That was only a single example - there are plenty more.
  
  NB - We are not all that bothered by this as the stud measurements have no real
meaning

Perhaps not to sellers who only sell and don't use the product. To people
who actually build with LEGO parts, these dimensions can be quite helpful. I
have used them many times.
