My set 7179-1 has all the parts listed in the inventory as Pearl Light Gray but,
in Flat Silver. Should these parts be entered as counterparts? Should a note
be added to the inventory stating the set came with parts in one of the two colors
(but, with a caveat that also states all parts would be the same color within
the set)? I know that around the time the set debuted there was a color change
over, could the color listed in the inventory be wrong? I know from looking at
parts for sale that there are far less flat silver parts for this set available
than there are in pearl light gray. Could the fact that this was a limited edition
set explain the differences in parts availability? I have 2 other Duncan Bulk
7168-1 sets. One with Pearl Light Gray parts and one with Flat Silver parts.
These both came from bulk (no pun intended) lots so, I have no idea of their
history. However, my 7179-1 was a sealed set that I have had on display. How
do proceed?

I was trying to identify some Marbled Bionicle Rhotuka Spinner and I noticed
that only 2 colors show up in the known colors list. However, if you click the
link for Color Images it shows actual pictures of 13 identified colors. Why aren't
the other 11 colors shown in the known list? I have the Yellow Marbled and Dark
Red Marbled on hand if additional pictures are needed. The ones I have came from
a bulk lot purchased years ago so, I have no way to identify which set they are
from. My intuition tells me they were from either set #8748-1 or set #6620-1.
 
Set No: 8748  Name: Rhotuka Spinners
* 
8748-1 (Inv) Rhotuka Spinners
5 Parts, 2005
Sets: BIONICLE: Supplemental
 
Set No: 6620  Name: Ultimate Accessory Set 500
* 
6620-1 (Inv) Ultimate Accessory Set 500
507 Parts, 2006
Sets: BIONICLE: Supplemental

While I'm on the topic, does anyone know if the Spinners in set 8749-1 were
all of one color (I am referring only to the 4 Marbled Spinners without code)?
A standard mix of colors? or Completely random assortment of color?

I added 3 new counterparts to the catalog yesterday, that have been approved.
However, they are not yet listed under the counterparts for the set they are
part of. The date of official addition to the catalog is today, 3/1. Will they
appear after tonight's update or do I need to do something else to get them
listed correctly?

Going thru some unsorted parts and I found the 32553 in dark bluish gray with
the 32554 in trans dark blue that was missing from the catalog. I have uploaded
the picture as a counterpart (32553c06) to set 8610-1.

Does a list of parts/counterparts needing pictures exist? If so where would it
be found?

Is it necessary to have a picture or the part on hand to add a counterpart to
an inventory? Will a screen shot of the instructions and or the decal set suffice?

Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6202  Name: Rocka
* 
6202-1 (Inv) Rocka
55 Parts, 2012
Sets: Hero Factory: Heroes

* Delete 3 Part 4497u Flat Silver Minifigure, Weapon Pike / Spear - (MARKED FOR DELETION - Undetermined End Version)
* Add 3 Part 4497 Flat Silver Minifigure, Weapon Pike / Spear - Round End

Comments from Submitter:
Verification from video of a sealed set opening. The round ends on the spears can be seen clearly at the 7:35 mark. Commentator describes spears as not being rubbery as in previous Hero Factory releases but, being actual plastic.
