Just to add to the never-ending "identify this part" questions, it's now
been semi-officially confirmed that LEGO has created exclusive elements for the
BaM (Build a Minifgure) bins in LBR stores. I'm sure this will give more
people headaches for authenticating parts, since they will not appear in any
inventories. Looks interesting though, and I hope they keep introducing new
elements.

From month ago

https://www.promobricks.de/lego-store-neuheiten-minifigur-station/83292

Some of them are alrady in the catalog

973pb3600c01 (Inv) Torso T-Shirt with Red Trim and 'CHAMPS' Logo Pattern (BAM) / Red Arms / Yellow Hand Right / Reddish Brown Baseball Glove Left
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

That one isn't in the BAM. The BAM versions I have seen all come in a gloveless
form and the buyer adds the glove to it.

Is it possible that in German or USA LEGO Brand stores it is sell with glove?

I assume the boxes they come in are the same. All the ones I have seen in the
UK have been without glove. Of course, staff or other customers could add the
gloves then leave the assembly.

We don't have LEGO Brand Store in Poland so no Pick a Brick or Buil a
Minifigure and I have no idea how it looks like.

I got 5 new ones from the boxes in the storage at US Lego store. They are supposed
to have the glove, but most people rip it off and put them on another figure.

Also it would not surprise me if some torsos are sold without glove, and so it
would be good to have the gloveless entry, as otherwise some sellers might have
to sell them as missing a glove when in reality it isn't.

Can we add years to these. Clearly we know what year these appeared first. Also
it would be nice to note somewhere (item description or sub-category) that these
are exclusive to the Build-A-Minifigure (BaM) station in LBR stores. It will
help to have this information in the future, and the years will make it useful
to place these into some chronological context.

Miro

Are we sure that there aren't examples that such item later were used in
normal sets. I do not reckon now such cases when firstly such parts were in BaM
station and later appeared in normal sets but maybe there are such. Then adding
year could be problematic as when parts appear in a set then system add year
automatically and I do not know what bug in the system then occurs

For now we add years for those type parts
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemBrand=1000&itemType=P
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?catType=P&catString=534&itemBrand=1000

The problem is also with normal parts which are in sets but are in colors which
do not appear in sets. Recently were added

12890 Minifigure, Hair Female Long Straight
Parts: Minifigure, Hair

in Orange
and

17346 Minifigure, Hair Female Long Straight with Bangs - Flexible Rubber
Parts: Minifigure, Hair

in Bright Light Yellow

There is no possibility to match that they are from BaM station

But for now I added a note for mentioned torso part you can check if it is OK.

Hi,

Looks like this parts:

4460a Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
Parts: Slope

4460b Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
Parts: Slope

is taller than described as it is 4 studs high instead of 3 unless there is a
way to measure height I don't know.

Fortunately, there is no 3 studs high slope and I believe any MOCers using the
part just call it by its name and there would be no issue when building.

Strangely, part

3684c Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
Parts: Slope

and all its variants looks like to be also 4 studs
high and not 3 (last pic clearly shows the same aspect ratio as 4460).
By the way 3684 is not marked for deletion yet.

Where was the issue ? "It's not you it's us" or just me ?

Thanks.

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

This thread is a useful reminder that exemplifies that measurement values without
units creates confusion. I work as a scientist in my day life, and talking about
measurements without units causes same problems.

To the OP, the slope 3684 is 3 bricks tall, which is the same as 9 plates tall
(a brick is 3 plates tall), or 18 Lego units tall (a plate is 2 Lego units).
A good relation measurement is 2x2 brick width is same as 5 plates height, which
means that a 1x1 brick width is 2.5 plates height, therefore the 3684 slope which
is 3 bricks tall = 9 plates height = 4.8 stud widths (12/2.5=3.6). So as you
can see, it makes no sense in referring to this slope as 3.6 stud heights. It's
very confusing. That being said, having units in the dimensions handy, will prevent
further confusions.

Knowing dimensions is very practical when SNOT building, where the orientation
of bricks is placed sideways and combination of upright and sideway bricks.

Having recently bought the Newbury High School and built it I am surprised to
find the dog Spencer is listed on here as Trans Clear with marbled White, when
the parts list in the inventory clearly places it in White. Should this not
be White with Marbled Trans Clear?

Similarly hs001 has a pending approval inventory in which the submitter is unsure
if the White hoodie with a Red cap should be classified as Red or White. Again
the inventory supplied with the set has this as White.

When compiling inventories should we not give greater weight to the Lego parts
list as to what colour a part is?

And yes the minifigure Jack is identical to the one in 70418-1 J.B's Ghost
Lab - hs001.

Just doubled checked hs001 and Jack has a different head. hs001 has teeth showing,
but the Jack in 70425 has a closed mouth. The other 3 parts are identical.

In our catalog main color is one which is on the part underside

35074pb02 Bird, Friends / Elves, Feet Joined with Magenta Body and Bright Light Orange Eyes Pattern (Pepper)
Parts: Animal, Air

That is why bright light orange not Magenta

42861pb01 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Stormtrooper with Molded Black Forehead, Eyes, Nose, Chin, and Panels on Back and Printed Dark Bluish Gray Marks and Tan Dirt Stains Pattern (Sandtrooper)
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear

that is why black not white

Dog underside is trans clear.

This is our policy.

Thank you both for the heads up.

Still, parts have "Size: 2 x 1 x 3 in studs"

This is the issue, when many units are used, they have to be explicitly written
to avoid such confusion, as history tells us, help page on BL are not enough.

I suggest to add a note on each single page of inventory for parts (done
by front "code" obviously, default design for parts for instance) about the units
used. Kind of studs from width/length, brick height for height.

Or that the size be formatted as “2 x 1 x 3 (studs x studs x bricks)” or, better,
“2 studs x 1 stud x 3 bricks.”

And these suggestions have been made almost every time a remark such as yours
was made but nothing changed

973pb3600c01 (Inv) Torso T-Shirt with Red Trim and 'CHAMPS' Logo Pattern (BAM) / Red Arms / Yellow Hand Right / Reddish Brown Baseball Glove Left
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

Has anyone actually seen this part in a BAM box with the mitt attached? I have
seen multiple of them in three different stores now, and they do not have the
mitt. They have a single hand and a missing hand. You can add either a mitt or
a hand, staff don't care.

So should this be listed with a mitt, given that this is not how it is supplied?
Or at least have a note about this, as not all the torsos will have mitts.

128-2 (Inv) Mobile Crane (Train Base)

Sets: Train: 4.5V

The instructions show the reel in the winch to be black; the inventory here has
it as red.

Does anyone know for certain which colour the set actually shipped with?

It is hard to believe that Lego makes

something totally different. They had ran out of the correct parts.

Considering Greek gods are far from paragons of perfection, subject to their
whims, inconsistent, unreasonable, and uncaring of us, mortals, I’d say “most
of us” are on to something here

When I got set

928-1 (Inv) Galaxy Explorer
318 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1979
Sets: Space: Classic Space

as a child, I remember clearly it had one plate of wrong
size in it (different from the one shown in the instructions), and from my recollection
it was the plate that held the control patterned slopes (it should be a 4 x 10
plate). The plate in my set was either 2 studs too long or too short, but I don't
remember which. Unfortunately, I switched the plate to a correct one long time
ago, so I can't prove anything about this today.

Does anyone else remember something like this?

Could you have had 497?

No, my instructions say 928. But 497 doesn't seem to change anything with
respect to these plates.

I had a couple of these and I sort of remember a problem like you are writing
about. But my memory is a bit foggy. It is hard to believe that Lego makes
mistakes, most of us think that they are gods on Mt Olympus. They also contribute
to problems and often in the distant past put whatever they had into sets. The
old set 800 (I think that that is the number) called for a garage and they substituted

I had this set as a child and don't recall anything like that. And I built
and un-builthe it 100 times.

Probably the consistency and quality control weren't as high back then. I
expect you just had a copy of the set with a packing error.

New wire version for set 156-1

Viewed:

79 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Hello,

In my sealed version of set

156-1 (Inv) 2 Signals with Automatic Stop / Go Attachment
6 Parts, 1968
Sets: Train: Supplemental: 4.5V

the connectors are 'Cross-cut'

996bc01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

and not 'Hollow Pin'

996ac01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

The current wire in inventory is this one:

996ac15blue (Inv) Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with 2 Leads, 14 Studs Long with 4 Blue Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (x466c14 / 996ac01)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

I know wire are on hold for now (project #15)

A) shall I create a new cross-cut connectors wire for 15 studs and modify inventory
(as alternate)?

B) I create inventory request with:

996bc01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

and

x466 Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with two Leads, unspecified length
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

I prefer option (A).
As every wire length for same type of connectors are going to grow or reduce
the same size depending of project #15.
For example: if wire 996ac15blue need to be adjusted +1 studs, new wire on option
(A) will also grow +1 studs

I presume you reported the listing? If so then it will get removed

What might work faster than reporting it is contacting the seller. Tell them
that you think they made an error in the listing and they should probably fix
it.

For those dishonest sellers who do this on purpose, they're not really helping
themselves. Nobody who wants a new set is actually going to buy one that isn't,
and someone who doesn't mind a used, incomplete set for a better deal is
probably going to hide all new listings. They're basically harming their
own business and are giving themselves a bad name. I'm not going to order
from someone who purposely is dishonest on listings, what else might they be
lying about?
