I originally purchased this set when it was still in production, and since I
have purchased the more recent version, I've decided to sell the old one.
Interestingly when I look up the inventory to decide whether to part it out
or list it as a complete set, I see the inventory is in light gray. I know that
the set was produced in both gray colors as they were switching over at the time.
I have the LBG version. I see that the complete sets in light gray seem to
be in more demand, while the parts in LBG are much more expensive, yet have very
low 6 month sale totals. Just curious if anyone knows some history/demand for
these two variants? Seems there is not much sense parting out it in LBG if there
is no demand.

Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6073  Name: Knight's Castle
* 
6073-1 (Inv) Knight's Castle
390 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 1984
Sets: Castle: Black Falcons

* Delete 1 Part 4502c Black Minifigure, Plume Feather Large
* Delete 1 Part 4502a Black Minifigure, Plume Feather Small
* Delete 1 Part 4502c Red Minifigure, Plume Feather Large
* Delete 1 Part 4502a Red Minifigure, Plume Feather Small

Comments from Submitter:
It is obvious from the instruction booklet that the triple plume (4502b) version is essential for the mini figures, but the small and large plumes are not visible and there is no place other than the knight's helmets for them to go. Are they truly part of the original set?

Set No: 7740  Name: Inter-City Passenger Train

7740-1 (Inv) Inter-City Passenger Train
746 Parts, 10 Minifigures, 1980
Sets: Train: 12V

* Add 3 Part 4093d Black Train Base 6 x 28 with 11 Round Holes Each End (Alternate) (match ID 9)
* Change 3 Part Black 4093b Train Base 6 x 28 with 10 Round Holes Each End {match ID 0 to 9}

Based on our research, the part
 
Part No: 4093d  Name: Train Base 6 x 28 with 11 Round Holes Each End
* 
4093d Train Base 6 x 28 with 11 Round Holes Each End
Parts: Train
was the earliest version, produced for productions between 11th-24th week in
1980 for the market of Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Finland,
Norway. We have seen this part with this and two other trains produced in 1980
in multiple used copies and are already confident that this part was used in
early 1980 for these three trains (7740 and two other sets)
Since 1981, the production of this train was doubled, to be sold also in other
European countries like UK, Italy, France. This means 4093d approximately appeared
in only 1/27=3.7% of total copies of this train.
One of the exceptions for an early variation of a part to be added to the alternate
seciont is
When the scarcity of the earliest variant is high enough that it is unlikely
to be found in a sealed set, then it may be placed in this section.

So I request to add this part as alternate.

Aoout rescuing an Orphan Lego part:
Take A Lego part off The Street for less than few dollars per day, you can rescue
a part living in unthinkable circumstances. These are parts who have no one to
care for them and they likely would not survive without the care provided in
our sets's inventory.
