| I've uploaded single pictures of the 4 parts in the inventory that needed
single pictures in Flat Silver and I've uploaded side by side pictures of
10 of the parts in both colors as additional photos. I couldn't find my 61794
In Pearl Light Gray for the side by side picture. I know it's here but, not
sure where at the moment. I'll upload a side by side photo of it when I find
it.

Thanks a lot, Howard. Having images for both colors of all the parts would be
great. I will get the inventory updated.
Cheers,

That doesn't surprise me. And when you say "all", do you mean *all* 11 lots
in the set that are currently listed as pearl light gray? I just need to be sure.
| | Should these parts be entered as counterparts?
|
Technically, they would be listed as alternates.
| | 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)?
|
No. We would definitely go the route of adding alternates.
| | I know that around the time the set debuted there was a color change over, could the
color listed in the inventory be wrong?
|
This is exactly when the color change occurred, so the color in the inventory
could definitely be wrong. At that time, those doing inventories had not been
introduced to the newer flat silver, so there is very likely some problems with
the first and possibly second waves of Hero Factory sets that had parts in the
newer flat silver. My personal feeling is that very few of the Hero Factory sets
probably had true pearl light gray parts. My son had a lot of them, and we don't
have any pearl light gray parts in our Hero Factory bin of parts.
I will go ahead and add the flat silver parts as alternates after I here back
concerning the question above.
Cheers,
Randy

| 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

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.
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?

| I had a few minutes to play with my photo software and decided to add color names
to the photo showing the 8 colors of 32554 that I posted previously. If you would
like to swap if for the original, I'm okay with that.

| I looked into which sets contained a 32553 in White and found that 2
of them come in set #6620-1 along with 2 of the 32554 in
Trans Neon Orange. As it is only possible to connect these 2 pieces to each other
(In regards to the pieces contained in this set.) Should a combination of these
2 pieces be added as a counterpart to this set as a 32553c04?

This one looks like three different colors of trans-blue for the brain stalk:
* | | 32553c05 (Inv) Bionicle Head Connector Block 3 x 4 x 1 2/3 with Trans-Medium Blue Eye / Brain Stalk (32553 / 32554)
Parts: BIONICLE |

The light gray one and red one have a trans-medium blue "brain". The white one
for that part definitely has a trans-light blue "brain". That image needs to
be removed.
