Yep. The original bars had no markings on them at all.

P.S. with this new number 28697 there is also trans red, trans neon green and
trans purple
I have trans purple molded 28697 from this set
and it is not frosted.
Have no idea why only trans light blue is affected.

| | Found some frosted trans-light-blue 1x4 bars in a set recently and I'm not
comfortable mixing them with my current inventory. They are quite different and
I don't think a customer who orders several would be happy getting a mixture.
The additional notes state:
"Alternate item number 28697 is used for transparent colors. This mold variant
has no bubbles and number 28697 molded on it. It has been found in two variations
clear and frosted as showed on additional images."
So it seems the catalog admins are aware of the difference and have decided not
to reflect it in the catalog here? Personally I think this is a mold variation
worth recognizing.

I agree. I had about 4000 of the old kind, and went to the Lego store to get
1000 more to finish a MOC. They only had the new frosted kind, which would look
very out of place next to the ones I already had, so I had to find them elsewhere.
For sellers, these should be easy to separate. I'd also like to see the rounded
vs. flat ends separated in the catalog but that may be more difficult

| Identify the torso assembly and then you can see which minifigs it is part of
in the 'item appears in' look up the minifigs that it relates to, then
part out that minif and you will see all the parts required.

| | | | | 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.
|

Hi Russelm
All our zero qty lots are in stockroom. So seems like a BL bug.

| Hi Russell,
Someone just pointed me to this topic, which i never saw earlier.
Can this be the reason that lots are 'disappearing' from our inventory?
That would be a bad thing to do i think. Can you confirm this?
Today i noticed a lot of older regular items have been removed / or renewed with
a different Lot Id. That's causing issues on our side.
Maybee you can contact us, so we can discuss this?
Regards,
Rick

BrickLink does not have any record in the inventory of this set of a redesign.
However, I have added a note to the instructions anyway:
You might see about updating the set inventory when you get a minute.

With respect to you personally Marek, for myself and let’s say a group
of Lego Star Wars Collectors that collaborate, we’ve stopped attempts to correct
or add to the BL catalog some years back, when our continued efforts were rejected
or dismissed out of hand, by those placed into those positions at the time, that
could do just that without consideration.
There’s more than a few corrections needed to the Stars Wars portion of the BL
catalog. It’s too bad, such poor judgement in personnel had been used in the
past. Now, some in the know (through painstaking research) that had once cared,
don’t.
That’s all that I would like to say, but should not! While simultaneously
disavowing that which I would like to say, and shouldn't - How’s that
for equivocating
On a serious note, good job, Marek! Now to the next, there’s plenty  You are
invaluable to the current catalog team, IMHO of course.
|
If you know that the current catalog admins are open to investigating and adding
these minifigs and you have knowledge of other minifigs that need to be corrected,
would you be willing to re-share that information with the current admins so
that the catalog can be more accurate?
|
Sure, Josh, I could and would for the current admin. In my book they are the
best we've seen here. Truly gifted and dedicated people, with strong guidance
from Russell.
But let me ask you, why is it needed? Given that TLG are in possession of the
site and it's catalog's information. They can spin whatever yarn they'd
like. In other words, get it straight from the horse's mouth. It's a
gift for you purest, if played right.

Interesting choices to start with, Marek!
Nonetheless, as to your first example: the full triangle is the anomaly. It was
initially intended as full triangle but as production produced a flawed triangle,
it was quickly corrected (wrongly in some minds) to the commonly seen trapezoid
shape. So, what’s the norm? I couldn’t say, it’s a matter of perspective. However,
the quantity of fully 'faulty' triangle produced, is far less than that
of the corrected trapezoid version.
