Is there any way for me to view the weight/dimensions of a set from its catalog
entry in Imperial units (pounds/inches- ghastly, I know, but I live in America)?
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.

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:

 
Part No: minesheep04  Name: Minecraft Sheep, Red, Sheared - Brick Built
* 
minesheep04 (Inv) Minecraft Sheep, Red, Sheared - Brick Built
Parts: Animal, Land

but in white. Meanwhile, the name "Minecraft Sheep, White - Brick Built" is already
taken by:

 
Part No: minesheep01  Name: Minecraft Sheep, White, Plate 2 x 2 on Back - Brick Built
* 
minesheep01 (Inv) Minecraft Sheep, White, Plate 2 x 2 on Back - Brick Built
Parts: Animal, Land

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?

Hi
Just wondering whether this is a different catalog number for torsos with no
clutch or would I need to mention this in my listing?
Thanks
Stay safe everyone

Hi!
I am just starting to get into MOCs. Can anyone tell me what pieces they use
to hold up the flags?

Thanks so much!
