Part 3794 in red should not be removed from this set. It should be changed to
3794a because both variants were found in this set. Several video reviews of
the set show 3794a. Included a screenshot from one of them that clearly shows
it.

I thought I would post this Discussion to bring to the members awareness of a
possible misinterpretation of the Inventory list of Set 75248 Star Wars Resistance
A-Wing Starfighter. The inventory is listed correct as I see it. I just opened
a sealed complete set and confirmed the Inventory. The only Item in Question
is Part 15303 Trans-Red Bar 8L with round End (Spring Shooter Dart). In the Instructions
it does show 3 Items are used but only 2 are actually used in the set. At first
I would think the 3rd piece would be considered an extra part, but since all
three are listed in step 101 the last Instruction step. The Inventory should
remain unchanged.

All three are listed. But only two were used. There is no place for the third
one.

Ive been looking for through the catalogue for various parts and have found that

I was looking at 3700 technic 1x2 brick in dark green last week and the stores
showed up with zero in stock in the catalogue. I checked again today and all
resolved.

I then looked at orange part 6005 and same thing.

Whats going on ??

Seems off to me or is it related to these rarer parts ?

The item doesn't show up in the items for sale.
I guess the Price Guide isn't shown in Real Time.
Maybe the items are in void of the payment process.

The items do show up in the items for sale

New (0) AFOL Supply (47562)
Netherlands
Min Buy: None EUR 7.21
(EUR 7.21)

New (0) Kentuckiana Bricks (27276)
USA
Min Buy: None EUR 5.86
(US $6.52)

These to sellers have a lot of zero quantity items.
It came up before in the forum (https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=260269)

It may have to do with the software they use to upload and sync their inventory.
This shouldn't be possible, however. Zero QTY lots should only be retained
in a stockroom.

And since it's one and the same company, they have the same software, which
probably sync both inventories at the same time.

Some statistics of average price, total sold, total available et cetera are calculated
during the daily maintenance and hence may differ slightly from the actual items
for sale. This especially shows for rare items that have just been sold or added
to inventories.

Ive just checked the same part again today and same issue. So its not the updating
of daily maintenance.

Admin - another bug ?

Hello, I have two Questions about the Inventory of the set 7730.
1. There are different Inventory-List in the Internet. Was there really a Cable
inside the box? Light Gray Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with four 1-prong connectors,
96 Studs Long
2. At the alternative Items there are 31 Light Gray Train, Track 12V Conducting
Rail Curved But must it nor be 15?

Thanks for the Answers

Is there anybody, who haves a picture of the Box Backside and Inside?

Hello,

I think the the answer for you 2nd question is on the note at the bottom of Inventory:

Regarding the curved conducting rails included in this set, the timeline for
inclusion in sets is believed to be as follows:

1980: 16 of part 3241b Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Curved without Cable
Connection Holes shown in the Regular Items section
1981: 16 of part 3241 Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Curved shown in the
Alternate Items section
1982: 15 of part 3241 Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Curved, 1 of part
3241c Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Curved, interference-free and 1 of part
117983a Paper, Information Note, Special Suppressor Rail - 117983 shown in the
Alternate Items section

This is already Bricklink's position. A complete set is one that includes
all the parts required to construct the set per instructions. It's not my
opinion, it's Bricklink's definition. And despite Russell's claims
to the contrary, it has been the de facto practice on Bricklink that the
regular parts section represents the complete set. Anyone who claims that this
was not the case (or that it is still not the case) is making excuses,
I believe.

And how does your vision align with that significant fraction of sets which included
no building instructions? How would we address those sets without rules and
exceptions, to which you're mildly allergic?

Again, Bricklink's current definition of a complete set is based on the instructions
and the current policy for sets without them already applies.

If the site has removed certain information, such as what is required to build
the set, it has added other information: exactly what comes in a new box.

Again with the horses, it is possible to have an inventory both ways. Just needs
additional inventory functionality that doesn't rely so heavily on "sections."
And yes, I'm aware that you disagree with that. But since we've trotted
out our horses, I'm gonna abuse mine a little, too.

No, additional inventory functionality is not required to have it both
ways. In the case of plumes and other parts on sprues:

- Those needed to complete the set according to the instructions go in the regular
section as individual parts.

- Those not needed go in the extras section as individual parts

- The sprue part goes in the counterparts.

That preserves all of the historical information, eliminates the current contradiction
between the definitions of regular parts and complete sets, and as an added bonus
makes freaking sense.

So you believe that a set inventory should contain only the parts required to
construct the set per instructions and anything else included in the box should
be considered an extra? I'm not asking to argue, but just to understand
your position.

What if there were:
— Main or Build (parts used to build the main model)
— Regulars (parts always included in the set)
— Extras (supernumerary parts)
?

And then:
(— Incomplete)
— Complete for main model only
— Complete for all models
— Complete with extras

Since we cannot add it to the regular section, I guess we can still have it in

The definition of counterparts:

Counterparts - Parts which are either assembled from or permanently
changed from parts in the Regular Items section during the process of building
a set according to the instructions. Examples include parts with stickers applied
and cut pneumatic hoses. In the absence of instructions, exceptions may be made.
Refer to Additional Information About Counterparts for further details.

Parts on sprues are addressed in the Additional Information About Regular Items
section here:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562

Another chance to flog this horse.

Some of these plumes are quite expensive: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=4502a&colorID=11

The misguided policy that says all parts on sprues are now regular items means
that many of these plumes that were formerly considered "extras" and therefore
not required to be included in a "complete" set are now required per the Bricklink
policies.

$15-$20 is a significant difference in value.

And these changes have resulted in several listings like the ones below, which
were listed correctly as "complete" under the old policy, but which are now incorrect.
One wonders how many of the "complete" sets that do not have any comments also
do not include the former "extras."

This set sells used, complete, for around the same price as one of the small
black plumes alone.

This policy has removed historical information from the site (the information
about which parts are needed to build the set according to the instructions)
and has created the potential for real confusion and unhappiness between buyers
and sellers (Where's the black plume that Bricklink says should be included?).

It is a bad policy.

We used to have the ability to do this with a shop's listings, too. You could
