|
| I noticed there are two variants of the 40243 spiral step that behave differently.
On the bottom side, there is a support ridge in the round part that may be located
(see picture):
- Facing away from the step
- Facing toward the step
Both parts have the same code, 40243.
When assembled with the 40244 support axle, with the steps fully spread out:
- The variant which has the support facing away from the step, will have
a part of each step overlapping the previous one (see second picture).
- The variant which has the support facing toward the step - as far I
can tell - will have no (or very little) overlap between adjacent steps.
See third picture, but note only the lowest 6 steps are of the second variant,
because I don't currently have a full set of 8 of them. 
All of the steps pictured here are of the old light gray color.
So, does anyone happen to know if particular sets come with a particular variant,
or if it's just random?

| | Hello everyone,
I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed longtime member BricksThatStick
to the Catalog Associate position. Paul served as the site's 4th Inventories
Admin during 2010 to 2011 alongside Emma (SimplyBricks). He effectively replaced
Dan Jezek, the site's founder, who had a special fondness for inventories
work and who of course left very big shoes to fill.
If you take the time to scroll through Paul's 900+ inventories changes:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?chgUserID=44744&v=3
...you will notice a sea of green, followed by a sea of blue, followed by another
sea of green. This means he continued to contribute to the catalog after having
once been an admin, which is (unfortunately) something rather uncommon. But it
demonstrates a great and correct attitude, the kind of attitude we wish to model
for all of our other contributors out there, especially the ones still cutting
their teeth.
Paul has, over the years, been very active as a seller and many of you will know
him also from his activity in the Forum. We look forward to his practical insights
and we are confident he will play a vital role in our growing catalog team.
Please welcome him back!
