Comments from Submitter:
The parts list (via Brickset.com) from LEGO replacement parts website says one 8 tooth gear should be regular.
But why?



Because it is used in an alternate model from the CD-ROM.

  Thanks for the response. Do you think there is an issue if I try to submit them?
I've got the sets so I can get an inventory, pictures, etc.

At this time, they will not be accepted if you submit them.

These are not added to the catalog at the present time. I can't say if they
will ever be added or not.

Cheers,
Randy

Technically speaking the inventory is incorrect because of the different LEGO
logos on the back of the torso.

 
Part No: 973pb0678c01  Name: Torso Pirate Captain Jacket Open with Yellow Trim over Green Shirt with Neck Ruffle, Brown Strap, Belt with Buckle, LEGO Logo on Back Pattern / Black Arms / Light Gray Hook Left / Yellow Hand Right
* 
973pb0678c01 (Inv) Torso Pirate Captain Jacket Open with Yellow Trim over Green Shirt with Neck Ruffle, Brown Strap, Belt with Buckle, LEGO Logo on Back Pattern / Black Arms / Light Gray Hook Left / Yellow Hand Right
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

But considering the number of items for sale and recently sold items it's
probably not a big problem...

  Hi,

I think it would be great if you could generate a code for your store so people
could enter it for a discount.

This would be good for marketing on social media rather than having to issue
individual coupons.

Is there any chance this could be developed?

Thanks,

Allen.

You don't use Instant Checkout, so why not just put your code on facebook
or wherever, saying add it to the order comments. Then you can manually adjust.

Sounds like a grocery store where you need a keycard for some deals and then
an app for even more. To me, it is unnecessary when you have the power to reduce
prices or run general sales for all customers and advertise as such. I'd
be quite upset if I bought from a store, and then realized that I could have
saved 10% if I saw some advertisement from somewhere else. This is just like
when any of us buy something and then learn it was cheaper if we entered some
code at checkout.

PS: Any Grocery Store Managers or Corporate see this... STOP IT. I'm already
in your store. Just give me the best price you are advertising without having
to go through all the extra steps!

PSS: I understand fully how advertising works. I just think it is getting ridiculous.
Keep it simple for all of us customers, no matter what industry we are talking
about.

The goal isn’t to have every buyer pay the “best” price. This “best” price is
funded by the ones who don’t pay it.
IOW, you say “when you have the power to reduce prices or run general sales for
all customers,” but that’s the thing: they can’t afford to reduce the prices
for everyone, or it would be a tiny, unmemorable reduction. So they do the next
best thing: make you believe they reduce the prices often. Too bad you always
miss it.

And there’s lots of psychological reasons: feeling special, feeling the discount
is earned, remembering the prices are low even if you paid more, etc.

Also, people are different: You get upset when you realize you missed a discount
while others don’t care and just throw away coupons. And it seems to work because
they do it again and again (and they have the numbers to know if it’s efficient).

Comments from Submitter:
Torso should be black not variable color.

Torsos are always variable color in torso assemblies. This request will not be
accepted.

Randy
