Maybe because the US women won the world cup by beating Netherlands 2-0?
So perhaps there are some soccer players in his inventory?

|
| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Change 2 Part Light Gray {3650a Technic, Gear 24 Tooth Crown (1st Version - Not Reinforced) to 3650b Technic, Gear 24 Tooth Crown (2nd Version - Reinforced)}
Comments from Submitter:
I didn't find photos of sealed set contents here. However, based on my recent inventory change requests, I think the transition from 3650a to 3650b is quite clear now.
- 3650a was included in sets until 1991. We have proof that two sets (8074 and 8856) released in 1991 came with 3650a in early and 3650b in later copies.
- 3650b was included in a copy of set 8837 which was produced in March 1992.
- During my research, I didn't find 3650a in any set released after 1991.
(If this request is accepted, I will continue with the remaining wrong and undetermined entries of this part.)

My set contained dark. Much too late for a sealed pic, but I've had it under control since opening it.

To confirm the inventory, you can find an unboxing there:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=168313
If I remember correctly, the reason for "extra" parts is because the set
is the same as which is composed of
Some black parts are sort of 'extra' (from 3745-1) because this set is
used to build other locomotives
For example:
-Fred

OK, thanks for the explanation, and sorry for the "troubles"... I just wanted
to notice a possible issue, which is not an issue anyway.
Julien

The My Own Train locomotive sets 3740 and 3741 were designed to build TWO different
models with full instructions to do so. When building one or the other, there
will be pieces left over.
Here is the page from the instructions showing the alternate build that does
use each of the pieces you show in your original post.
http://lego.brickinstructions.com/03000/3741/013.jpg
These set inventories have stood unchanged for many years because they are accurate
and correct. They were produced and sold by LEGO back before there used to be
intentional Extra Pieces, so every piece in the inventory is needed to build
either the primary or the secondary model.
Also, the packs of colored bricks for these sets --
contain the correct parts to build either the
short locomotive or the long locomotive. When done building one or the other,
there will be different pieces left over, but all of the pieces are needed for
one or the other with no extra pieces at all.

Since we have proof now that 3650b already existed in March 1992 (set 8837), I highly doubt that 3650a was ever included here.

Source: sealed set contents.
Photos found on German site Ebay Kleinanzeigen (Ebay Classifieds), listing 1004287617. Fortunately, the batch code 1012 is visible, meaning this copy was produced in early March 1992. Since the release date was May 1992, it is very likely that this set always came with 3650b.

Yeah, that does look bad. I need to go scrub my eyes.
 
How does the thin portion of a Trans-Light Blue icon part compare to the color
of this strip? My wife took my strip to work, so I can't do it myself right
now. If you can, take a pic holding both up towards a light source like I showed
you for the Trans-Dark Pink ones. Remember, the Trans-Dark Pink flexy films were
much lighter looking when compared to Trans-Dark Pink icon parts until I held
them to the light looking at similar thicknesses. This may be a similar case
as the strip doesn't quite look like Trans-Very Light Blue.
Cheers,
Randy

I was called in to work for a couple of hours to do something super important.
I can check it this evening or tomorrow.
|
Oops. I forgot that I had this set, so I took a look at the flower flexies.
I am torn on what to do about these bluish-green parts, but I think we should
settle for Trans-Very Light Blue like you have suggested. These flexy films are
milkier than some of the other flexies I bought from you which makes the color
harder to nail down since they do not transmit light through them easily. If
the milky layer wasn't on it, it may look closer to Trans-Light Blue, but
as is looks closer to Trans-Very Light Blue for simplicity.
I will approve your requests for these parts.

Yeah, that does look bad. I need to go scrub my eyes.
How does the thin portion of a Trans-Light Blue icon part compare to the color
of this strip? My wife took my strip to work, so I can't do it myself right
now. If you can, take a pic holding both up towards a light source like I showed
you for the Trans-Dark Pink ones. Remember, the Trans-Dark Pink flexy films were
much lighter looking when compared to Trans-Dark Pink icon parts until I held
them to the light looking at similar thicknesses. This may be a similar case
as the strip doesn't quite look like Trans-Very Light Blue.

The pics show this pink flower with a trans-dark pink flexy film. And this "aqua"

Can you post an image of that pink flower next to Trans-Pink Clikits parts?

That looks better than I expected it would.

Beautiful. I will get the pink flower updated. Still going to hold off on the
"aqua" part.

That front card is different from the 1999 version shown below. I think a new
set entry is going to be the solution to this as they are easy to distinguish
by the part count and theme logo listed on the front. The 1999 version says 804
pieces and has the Dacta logo while the 2003 version says 800 pieces and has
the LEGO educational division logo.
Please submit your set to the catalog as set 9680-2 with the name "Energy Work,
Power Starter Set (2003 Version)". From there, we can start on an inventory of
the set. Could you please send high quality photos of the entire parts list that
was included on the card in your set to inv@bricklink.com?
Thanks,

I am encountering this color in other sets as I go through them. Aqua wasn't an AWFUL color for it, but it is transparent and there is no trans-aqua. Additionally, there is another transparent flexy film that is a much better match for aqua.

The pics show this film with another the same color and adjacent with trans-very

this film with another film that is also currently "aqua" that is a much better

Yeah, I bought one of those "aqua" strips from you and was going to get around
to talking about it with you. Have you tried placing it next to the Clikits Trans-Medium
Blue parts that aren't really Trans-Medium Blue but a yet-to-be-added color?
I would be curious to see that image before moving ahead with this.

Comments from Submitter:
I am not attaching a picture because the part's picture is good enough. It is an orange cord with pink caps. I have requested the part, only found in this set, to be changed to say cord with trans-dark pink caps, so to finish it the part in the inventory needs to be changed to trans-orange. I am also including in an omnibus catalog request to move the references.

Hi there, Johan!
Did you measure the length of all of the red and blue cylinders to make sure
they were all 7mm long?

Comments from Submitter:
In the course of this investigation: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1147786 I noticed that my pieces from 7508 were Trans-Light Blue, not Trans-Medium Blue. The colors on these pieces are difficult because of the thickness of the plastic, but I will attach a comparison image that should help it be clearer.
|
Just comparing to Trans-light blue (the star) the piece looks like a different
color. But a thick Clikit in Trans-medium blue looks way different. But if you
look at the thin plastic in the middle of the round one, it is a good match for
the star. It looks better in person than in the pic. If it isn't trans-light
blue, it is a color that isn't in the catalog, but I think it is close enough.
|
According to Ryan Howerter, the color of this part is Trans-Medium Blue. See
the last post on this page:

| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Change 2 Part {Medium Orange to Trans-Light Orange} clikits081 Clikits Flexy Film, Flower 10 Petals 4 x 4 with Raised Border
Comments from Submitter:
This is just a cleanup move. I have had this a while and the set isn't sealed anymore, but I trust the handling of the piece. Anyway, the inventory used to be correct as far as consistency with other sets goes, but we've been moving the pieces like this to trans-light orange because it is a better match.

Comments from Submitter:
I wish this was less messy, but since a bunch of parts were specifically changed to trans light orange, I'll leave those in there, even though it means leaving undetermined pieces.
|
The parts were changed to Trans-Light Orange when the new color was added to
the catalog. I do not think member WoutR had a sealed set to use for those changes,
but was basing it off of assumptions from images. Since you have a sealed set,
the changes you are making will take precedence over the other changes. I will
make the adjustments manually after going through your requests.
Cheers,
Randy

In my unopened set the cylinders are short. Don't know if I should suggest it as alternate part or regular part. I have photos, but can't see on this page how to add them. Johan

Hi there, Johan!
Did you measure the length of all of the red and blue cylinders to make sure
they were all 7mm long?
Thanks,
Randy

|
| In the catalog I see there are a few varients of the 700e early baseplate, but
I recently ran across a couple with numbers that werent in the catolog. They
are most similar to the 700eD plates, but to have different featured like the
shape of the cross supports where they cross, and are marked '700 e H'
on the bottom.
Should The 700e H varient be added and/or does anyone know anything about this
baseplate? (sorry I'm very new here or I would attempt to add it myself)

Duplo figures have historically not been inventoried with their capes, and I
honestly don't know why. It is something that should probably be added to
the Catalog Roadmap for consideration of being changed.

| | If you want to base the inventories on the consistent contents of the box, that
makes sense from a part-out viewpoint. But this policy does not guarantee that
will happen. It is determining what goes "inside" the box based on what's
printed on the outside of the box, and not what is actually included.
|
This set consistently had 234 parts that were included inside the box regardless
of where the set was produced and what was printed on the outside of the box
since it was just an amalgam of three other sets that had been repackaged. Therefore,
your argument is moot, and the inventory will stand as is.
|
No, this example does not invalidate what I am saying. It demonstrates how the
rule applied here, if applied consistently, could lead to inconsistencies in
the inventories. It gives you "accurate" results in this case, but this is only
one case. Had this set only been produced in Europe and had no part count on
the box, it would lead to a different inventory - IF the rule was consistently
applied.
On the other hand, if the extra part designation were eliminated completely,
and the foolish reliance on the imaginary "official" part count was also eliminated,
then it would have the same inventory whether or not there was a part count printed
on the box.
I'm just extending what we are being told is the sole intent of the inventories
on Bricklink - to document the contents of the box so that sellers can more efficiently
part them out. I don't agree this should be the sole intent, but it is what
it is. That being the case, why is there a need to build up ever-more complicated
policies which introduce apparent inconsistencies and rely on the whim of Lego
continuing a practice it has already shown it is willing to change?
|
You sure do like to flog a life-challenged equine. The set inventory will stand
as is. That is the final decision of the entire admin team.
|
It is telling that you think I'm calling for the inventory to be changed.
I'm not. The only change I've called for is the elimination of the extra
parts designation, since the admins have to dance around with sets like this
to explain why it is an apparent exception.
If that change were made, this set would stand exactly as it is. So really, I'm
calling for all other set inventories to follow what this one does - put everything
known to be in the box in the regular section.

|
Regular Items - Parts required to build the main model and any secondary models
plus any other parts on the official parts list. In the absence of an official
parts list, the official parts count, the instructions, and/or images on the
packaging are used to determine as closely as possible the contents of this section.
Where does it say anything about the official parts count being the primary guide?
It is listed first because it is the easiest and most useful thing to check.
There are cases where the instructions have the final say, e.g. in a situation
where the instructions call for a greater number of parts than the official parts
count.
|
It doesn't say it. This is my point. In this set, since there is no part
list, we are told that the regular items may be determined by the part count,
the instructions, etc.
In this set, using the instructions would give you one set of results that includes
extra parts, but using the part count gives you a different set of results that
does not include extra parts. There is a conflict. A choice has to be made on
which method to use. According to Randy, the part count trumps the instructions,
so that is the method that was used: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1147636
| |
| | That policy does not serve sellers who want to part out sets, because
there is no consistent way Lego has counted parts in the past, and part counts
are not included on all sets now.
|
LEGO part counts are exceptionally reliable. There are a few cases where things
don't line up, but for 99.9% of the cases they are spot on. We know that
some sets don't have them, but that is nothing new. Sets produced for the
European market in the 1970's never had them.
|
You are not accounting for the fact that Lego has changed what it calls a "part."
When trying to reconcile the "official" count with the number of individual items
in the box, you sometimes have to consider a minifig torso and head as one piece,
as Lego sometimes did. Or you have to leave out the flowers, because they are
not "interlocking" pieces and therefore not included in the total. Or you may
have to count individual stickers (which is the only way I can even get close
to 779 parts in the Yellow Castle).
So we ignore the part count in some instances, but use it to define the complete
set in others. Any rule that relies on exceptions for it to work is not a good
rule. It would be simpler to get rid of the extra parts section and obviate the
need for any such rule at all.
| |
| | That policy is not spelled out anywhere in the help pages. It is listed among
the possible sources in the absence of a part list, but it is not explained that
it is considered more important than the instructions.
|
It is spelled out as much as it needs to be. Any further details about how part
lists were counted slightly differently over the years or limitations of their
usefulness are matters of discussion among collectors. Please read these as examples:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1027168
https://www.bricklink.com/aboutMe.asp?u=viejos&pageID=16500
We're not going to put that level of detail in the Help Pages. Our Inv Admins
have access to this kind of information to help them make informed decisions,
but it's too much for the general BrickLink public.
|
It is noted that the official stance is that we just don't need to know how
these decisions are made.
| |
| | This case illustrates the foolishness of this policy. The criterion for including
these leftover parts in the regular section - and thereby including them in any
part-out and in requiring them to be present to sell the set as "complete" -
is a number printed on the package. If this set had been released just in Europe
with no part count on the box, those parts would be extras, could be excluded
from a part-out, and would not be required in a "complete" set.
|
Maybe, but probably not. We have other ways to determine what parts should be
considered regular, and one of them is related sets.
| | If you want to base the inventories on the consistent contents of the box, that
makes sense from a part-out viewpoint. But this policy does not guarantee that
will happen. It is determining what goes "inside" the box based on what's
printed on the outside of the box, and not what is actually included.
|
The parts count is just one tool out of many that we use. It is not used to remove
actual contents from a set, or to add things that were never there. BrickLink's
standard is a sealed set, and that's where we start from when building an
inventory.
|
I put "inside" in quotes, because I mean the theoretical set made up of regular
parts. This is what a "complete" used set is made up of. Parts are indeed moved
in and out of this "complete" set based on the arcane rules we are not to be
made aware of.

This set consistently had 234 parts that were included inside the box regardless

since it was just an amalgam of three other sets that had been repackaged. Therefore,
your argument is moot, and the inventory will stand as is.

No, this example does not invalidate what I am saying. It demonstrates how the
rule applied here, if applied consistently, could lead to inconsistencies in
the inventories. It gives you "accurate" results in this case, but this is only
one case. Had this set only been produced in Europe and had no part count on
the box, it would lead to a different inventory - IF the rule was consistently
applied.
On the other hand, if the extra part designation were eliminated completely,
and the foolish reliance on the imaginary "official" part count was also eliminated,
then it would have the same inventory whether or not there was a part count printed
on the box.
I'm just extending what we are being told is the sole intent of the inventories
on Bricklink - to document the contents of the box so that sellers can more efficiently
part them out. I don't agree this should be the sole intent, but it is what
it is. That being the case, why is there a need to build up ever-more complicated
policies which introduce apparent inconsistencies and rely on the whim of Lego
continuing a practice it has already shown it is willing to change?

You sure do like to flog a life-challenged equine. The set inventory will stand
as is. That is the final decision of the entire admin team.

Of course that might mean apparent conflicts with what you are calling "official"

being moved from extra to regular or vice versa simply to make the BL inventory
count match the number that sometimes appears on some boxes in some parts of
the world.

mistake.
|
These policies are grounded in a thorough and correct understanding of LEGO history
in addition to the practical considerations of running a site that sells parts.
When you examine the change log of this inventory, you will see that as far as
extra parts goes, it has remained exactly the same as it was on the day it was
approved in July 2005. That was 14 years ago. Meaning that the extras policy
the admins are defending today is the same one used to create this inventory
all those years ago.
There was no “previous method”. There were some people who (after Dan passed
away) tried to change the way things were done, and for a short while it may
have seemed like there was some sort of new policy. But there was simply no easy
way to change everything the site had done up until that point to accommodate
a new way of defining extra pieces, so this idea of a new extras policy was confined
to a small subset of parts and an even smaller subset of sets that happened to
get inventoried at that time.
BrickLink has always preferred to document the contents of the box vs the parts
necessary to build the set. This is because BrickLink was from the a beginning
a site primarily designed to sell parts, and the inventory system was designed
primarily to part out sets. Sellers parting out sets don’t necessarily care whether
or not parts are used in the instructions. They want a list of parts that they
can upload efficiently to their store inventory and sell.
Initially there was no Extras section, and everything was placed in the regular
section. There is reams of evidence in the change logs to prove this. The Extras
section was designed to handle parts with variable presence so that sellers could
either exclude them categorically or treat them with special care during the
partout process. Parts that invariably came in a set were deemed regular parts.
Those that may or may not have been included were called extras.
Fast forward to several years ago when I was grappling with the task of more
firmly defining the rules for inventories (mainly so that conversations like
this wouldn’t have to take place). The site needed a standard to align itself
with, and it needed to be one that both sellers and collectors could live with.
A very small adjustment consisting of some rubber band holders and a few stacking
pins was all that was necessary to align the traditional partout-focused policy
with the historical practices of the LEGO Group.
So that’s where we are today, and it doesn’t seem shortsighted at all, at least
to me. I actually tried to envision what an instructions-based policy would look
like and where it would lead us. But we’ve got so many sets where there are no
instructions or the instructions only use a certain percentage of the pieces.
And when something is listed in a published parts list, it’s really not in the
site’s best interests to encourage sellers to leave those parts out of what is
considered a “complete” set. It’s just asking for problems.

Thanks for the explanation. This could probably use an inventory note to explain
the reason for these extra parts. But I'll leave that until Randy is back
from holiday because he seems to be a bit more familiar with this set than I
am.
|
Hey Paul -
I am now back and have access to writing on an actual keyboard instead of my
phone! Fortunately for me, Fred already laid out exactly why the inventory is
the way it is.
As he stated, this set was a repackaging of three earlier kits and some of the
parts were not used in the build for the repackaged set. However, the official
part count on this set included all of the parts from the original three kits
and were included in every set. Because of this, they are treated as Regular
Items. I will go ahead and add an inventory note to this set.
Cheers,
Randy
|
The rules that define regular and extra parts do not mention the "official" part
count in the criteria. Why is an exception made for this set? Those leftover
parts should be extra parts. They are not in the build and there is no parts
list for this set in the instructions or box.
Parts counts primarily only appear on North American sets. They are not determined
in a consistent way by Lego.
|
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562
Regular Items - Parts required to build the main model and any secondary
models plus any other parts on the official parts list. In the absence of
an official parts list, the official parts count, the instructions, and/or images
on the packaging are used to determine as closely as possible the contents of
this section.
|

|
Yes.

|
It is explained right there in the text above. This policy has also been applied
consistently since it was rewritten and agreed upon by the admin team. All inventories
are being adjusted towards it as change requests for inventories come in. The
admins have also taken it upon themselves to adjust inventories as we have time.
Lastly, we have quite a few people that are helping to adjust inventories and
we thank them very much for their contributions. You know who you are.
|
I disagree that it is spelled out. In this instance there is no parts list, but
there are instructions and there is a part count. Those two sources of information
conflict. It is not spelled out in the policy that in this instance the part
count is what prevails. It may be written down in your own procedures but it
is not at all clear in the public information.

I am now back and have access to writing on an actual keyboard instead of my
phone! Fortunately for me, Fred already laid out exactly why the inventory is
the way it is.
As he stated, this set was a repackaging of three earlier kits and some of the
parts were not used in the build for the repackaged set. However, the official
part count on this set included all of the parts from the original three kits
and were included in every set. Because of this, they are treated as Regular
Items. I will go ahead and add an inventory note to this set.
Cheers,
Randy

The rules that define regular and extra parts do not mention the "official" part
count in the criteria. Why is an exception made for this set? Those leftover
parts should be extra parts. They are not in the build and there is no parts
list for this set in the instructions or box.
Parts counts primarily only appear on North American sets. They are not determined
in a consistent way by Lego.

Regular Items - Parts required to build the main model and any secondary
models plus any other parts on the official parts list. In the absence of
an official parts list, the official parts count, the instructions, and/or images
on the packaging are used to determine as closely as possible the contents of
this section.

OK, so the parts count trumps the instructions in determining a regular part?
|
Yes.

If there is nothing that can be done to stop this misguided inventory policy,
it would at least be useful to have it explained in the help pages. I hear a
lot of lip service being paid to consistency, but these policies are still opaque
and arcane to anyone trying to understand them from what is written, and as such
their application appears very inconsistent.

As this set demonstrates, the designation of "extra" items is essentially meaningless,
since the policy now is to document the contents of the box and not the parts
needed to build the models. The simplest thing to do to avoid confusion and the
appearance of inconsistency is to eliminate the extra parts designation entirely.
Of course that might mean apparent conflicts with what you are calling "official"
part counts, but you can't have it both ways. It appears that items are just
being moved from extra to regular or vice versa simply to make the BL inventory
count match the number that sometimes appears on some boxes in some parts of
the world.
That is a foolish policy because history has shown us that Lego has changed how
they count parts in the past. If they do it again in the future, we will be faced
with a dilemma.
The previous method of designating extra parts was unique to BL and would still
work no matter what Lego did. That method has been abandoned, and it was a shortsighted
mistake.
