I commonly use this when quoting shipping for a buyer so I don't have to
dig out a set every time someone asks, but it is always a little bit of hassle
to convert grams to pounds and cm to inches.

I'm a little surprised that TLG has keep that in place, as global-minded
as they are. Not complaining, I also appreciate the ability to use the system
that's more intuitive for me.

| Hey, I'm trying to help with the 21159 set, but it would be my first inventory
job, so I'm hitting a block early on.
It looks like the set has one of those:
but in white. Meanwhile, the name "Minecraft Sheep, White - Brick Built" is already
taken by:
which has a different build (plates instead of brick). What to do, I wonder?

| | Happy day  The time that is spent differentiating between mold variants is
certainly not worth it money-wise, but worth it in other ways.
A customer purchased some classic 2555's. Apparently we still sent two different
variants to him. Sure, most of the older parts have various mini-differences,
just never thought anyone would actually care about getting a specific variant.
Either way, I was not aware of this particular difference.
Our customer described it as 'The wider ones and the narrower ones' and
sent us a picture, circling the different variants. A bit hard to see, I am attaching
one more.
The difference itself is in the sharpness of the outside/inside edges - the very
tops the clips. Principally kind of similar to the difference between classic
and modern 2555, except much more subtle. Difficult to judge if looking at the
edge itself, but becomes easy when comparing from the top view. At least when
you have two pieces to compare
The left one has, call it, completely sharp edge. The right one has a slight
roundness to it. That rounding comes at a cost of reducing the top surface area
of the clip.
Complete list of the differences between the two:
The 'flat top' type:
* Sharper edge / bigger top surface area of the clip
* mold pip on a side
* now looking from yet another side, the sidewall of the clip is completely straight
in all dimensions - does not get narrower towards the top and forms a straight
rectangle (the last picture)
The 'slightly slightly rounded top'
* Slightly rounded top edge of the clip, reduced flat surface area of the top
* mold pip at the bottom
* sidewall is of slightly concave shape - forms a trapezoid
Some more differences, but only concerns the construction of the mold and the
ejection pins placement.
Question(s).
1 - How many of you have/have not noticed this particular difference before?
Curious.
2 - any other different classic 2555s than these two?
|
I'd say it's pretty commonly known; the squared-top kind are the older
type, whereas the rounded-top kind are newer (the catalog entry has a note indicating
the difference)...
I actually keep the two types separated in my inventory in anticipation of a
new entry for each--which will likely never happen--but having each type
together really helps me to give a Buyer the same type whenever they buy any.

Yeah that's how my employee was looking at this too. We nearly got into an
actual argument over this haha.
It's not the BL described difference that I am talking about. The key part
addressing this in the OP is:
The difference itself is in the sharpness of the outside/inside edges - the
very tops the clips. Principally kind of similar to the difference between classic
and modern 2555, except much more subtle.
Will get back to this tomorrow I guess, with more pictures comparing these to
the newer 2555s.

| Thanks!
I built myself an Sh016b today using spare parts from my other figures so your
method has its benefits - i dont have to keep buying new sets - although i do
own the SDCC Gotham Skyline set - just refuse to open it.

batman but a new cape (very cool looking glide cape) - so we should expect Sh016c
in the Penguin Boat Chase.

In set 75168 will be new number for Batman as cape has totally different shape
so this will be Batman assembly with new part not being varian of previous capes
This cape isn't a varian to capes
and
[p=56630b,11]
and
New part in assembly not part variant so new number not a, b or c
| | We are also getting another dark grey batman with
gold outline belt with the same new cape so he should get Sh589a in the Mobile
Bat Base and Joker Trike Chase. Interestingly they are releasing these with
3 capes in each set so are we going to get 3 variants in a single set!!!! Oh
my head hurts.
|
For other two Batman sets policy is clear only one minfig can be accepted in
assembly as showed firstly in building instruction. So when minfig has in alternates
for it assembly only fisrt showed version in instruction is approved.
For example
in set
can be with hair or helmet.
but in instruction
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/6310759.pdf
it is firstly showed assembled with hair then with helmet
so only with hair is being accepted for this set, we don't crate second entry
with helmet.
