Making this a catalog request instead of a site suggestion so that I know it
will be read. All of the parts linked to below have inventories containing at
least one variable color part.

For these parts the color shown on the Part Inventory tab (which I'm defining
as the new inventory page) is (Variable Color):

 
Part No: 2878c01  Name: Train Wheel RC, Holder with Black Train Wheel Pair on Chrome Silver Metal Axle with Slots (2878 / 2879c01)
* 
2878c01 (Inv) Train Wheel RC, Holder with Black Train Wheel Pair on Chrome Silver Metal Axle with Slots (2878 / 2879c01)
Parts: Wheel
 
Part No: 3137c01  Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 2 with Red Wheels for Single Tire
* 
3137c01 (Inv) Brick, Modified 2 x 2 with Red Wheels for Single Tire
Parts: Wheel

Took me a little bit, but I figured out that's only because they appear in
multiple colors.

However, for other parts also inventoried with variable colors the new page shows
an actual color name because they only appear in one color:

 
Part No: 4180c01  Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Black Wheels, Train Spoked Small (23mm D.) and Black Pins (4180 / wheel3 / 2344)
* 
4180c01 (Inv) Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Black Wheels, Train Spoked Small (23mm D.) and Black Pins (4180 / wheel3 / 2344)
Parts: Wheel
 
Part No: 38339c01  Name: Train Wheel RC, Holder with Pin Slots with 2 Black Train Wheel RC Train with Pins (38339 / 38340)
* 
38339c01 (Inv) Train Wheel RC, Holder with Pin Slots with 2 Black Train Wheel RC Train with Pins (38339 / 38340)
Parts: Wheel
 
Part No: 4180c04  Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Red Wheels, Train Spoked Small (23mm D.) and Red Pins (4180 / wheel3 / 2344)
* 
4180c04 (Inv) Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Red Wheels, Train Spoked Small (23mm D.) and Red Pins (4180 / wheel3 / 2344)
Parts: Wheel

I'm guessing this was done on the new inventory page to make things less
confusing, but it is inaccurate. If a part is inventoried with one or more components
having variable colors, then the new page shouldn't make things more confusing
by falsely representing the inventory to contain a defined color.

Only by clicking through to the old inventory page (Item Consists Of) can you
determine if the inventory is correct, and even then you can only surmise the
existence of a variable color when there is no image and no part color listed
(the words "Variable Color" don't appear on that page).

The new inventory tab is convenient to use, but it's disappointing that it
doesn't accurately reflect variable colors in inventories.

Can this issue be corrected?

Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Part No: 4180c02  Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Red Wheels FreeStyle and Red Pins (4180 / 4259 / 2344)
* 
4180c02 (Inv) Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Red Wheels FreeStyle and Red Pins (4180 / 4259 / 2344)

* Change 1 Part {Black to (Variable Color)} 4180 Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Wheels Holder FreeStyle

Comments from Submitter:
The brick color should be variable. Submitted title change to define that the red parts are the wheels and pins. This part appears in sets in both red and black (the brick itself).

Comments from Submitter:
Currently the black brick has a defined colour. For this part the colour should be variable. Also, the title should be changed to indicate that not only are the wheels themselves white, but the pins are also. Will submit title change.

When will this set be added in? Picked two sets up last night at Target, ($9.99
each) but everything I find on it says it shouldn't be out yet. Mostly for
the new Iron Man mini that comes in the set. Thanks.

In the Bricklink catalog set 21038 is mentioned but if I remember well it was
discontinued before it was ever sold.
All due to the shooting from the Mandalay Bay hotel.
In my believe Lego showed the box art before the shooting and well before it
entered shops.
After the shooting it was discontinued without making it going to shops, before
a real release.
If so I think this set shouldn’t be in the catalog, there is most likely no set
to be found ‘in the wild’.
Therefore it might be poluting the catalog.
