We haven't forgotten those. They're the main reason why that project
in progress is still in progress. We're just focusing more on the other
two in-progress projects at the moment. They'll all three be finished before
the end of this year (and hopefully, for the project you mention, within the
next three months or so).

Comments from Submitter:
I have this set, and I was counting pieces in order to verify completeness. However I have not found a place to use 2x4 white brick in the building instructions. Maybe it appears as extra part.

I thought i was going crazy I was at the same point as you like ehhhhhhhhhh

mystery solved

Our goal is to get through one project every month. This is not an overly complicated
project, so hopefully it will happen relatively soon. I would suggest this to
anyone reading: begin working on compiling a list of MCM parts so that when we
begin the project we can breeze through it quickly.

I would say it needs to be something in the titles, not in the part number.
We would need something very short because torso assemblies where some parts

to be something not used in any other part titles or numbers.

Having all that in mind, what do you think about adding the letters DMO
(standing for Dual MOlded) to the titles of dual-molded parts?
This would include those parts that come in similar printed/molded patterns
that are not currently distinguished with separate catalog entries.

This will allow two things: finding all dual molded parts in the catalog by search
and excluding dual molded parts from searches.

Anything to distinguish the Dual MOlded (DMO) from Non-Dual Molded would help.
Although I am not sure people would know what DMO stands for outside of this
thread. I understand the need for a unique acronym.

DCM could be another acronym for Dual Color Mold if you want a 3 letter acronym,
since the O in DMO is not that fitting. This way if they ever do a Triple Color
Mold (TCM) you could distinguish it easily.

or MCM for Multi Color Mould to cover any future eventuality.

I changed them when I changed the legs and torsos around based on the theory

I like the MCM (Multi Color Mould) acronym. It future proofs things and certainly
distinguishes from SCM (Single Color Mould) parts. Thanks for the suggestion.

  I think we should decide a term that fits more than Dual moulded too, so MCM
is a good option. But we never know if in the future Lego might do hundreds of
dual and triple and future selfs would like to distinguish them

But as things are, this is not likely the case haha

Yes, multi-color molded is probably a good idea rather than dual. If for example
there is a piece with A-B-A colouring (like Bart Simpson legs) is that dual or
triple molding? It might be triple molded but dual colored.

field, I want to export this information, but it is not possible because downloading
does not rescue the information in that field.

How can I export this information??

It’s in the “QTYFILLED” element in the XML.
(“Want” is in “MINQTY”.)

It works both for download and upload.

This is the only useful pic I could find among my reference pics. You can't
count them, but you can definitely tell that there are more than 6 each of the
blue and red 3003.

* Add 8 Part 3003 Red Brick 2 x 2 (Alternate) (match ID 2)
* Add 2 Part 41855 Blue Brick, Modified 2 x 2 x 2/3 Two Studs, Lip End (Alternate) (match ID 3)
* Change 8 Part Trans-Dark Blue 3003 Brick 2 x 2 {match ID 0 to 1}
* Change 8 Part Trans-Red 3003 Brick 2 x 2 {match ID 0 to 2}
* Change 2 Part Trans-Red 3039 Slope 45 2 x 2 {match ID 0 to 3}

Comments from Submitter:
I have deleted my previous requests on this set and am doing it a different way.

- On the blue and red bricks, this variance is what I have found when I parted out two sets before and again when I parted out 1 yesterday.

- I was missing the trans-red slopes before and again and last time I didn't know what to balance them with, but this time the blue 41855 (and maybe/probably last time as well, I don't know) were in the bag with the regular parts, not the floor sweepings, so I think they alternate each other.

-I will also record here that when I parted out two sets before, I only got 2 yellow 3005pe1, not 4 and this time when I parted out one set I didn't get any of them. I suspect that this piece belongs in the extras, but I have no handy proof. I am making these requests from work and it now occurs to me that I may have pictures of the unopened bags last time that would shed some light on this. I will check later.

They are in the inventory in the Counterparts section, no?

Only 4 of them are! For example, the one that says United States is not there!

That could be added to the sticker over assembly category of the catalog:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=582

But it would involve someone carefully removing the bricks together with the
sticker attached and taking a picture to get it approved.

Until someone does that you may not find it for sale unless someone lists it
as a custom item in their store.


Woah that's super wild! I have one at hand but I'm missing most of the
stickers for it! I was trying to piece it back together but I see that I might
be better to just not do it haha

and excluding dual molded parts from searches.

Anything to distinguish the Dual MOlded (DMO) from Non-Dual Molded would help.
Although I am not sure people would know what DMO stands for outside of this
thread. I understand the need for a unique acronym.

DCM could be another acronym for Dual Color Mold if you want a 3 letter acronym,
since the O in DMO is not that fitting. This way if they ever do a Triple Color
Mold (TCM) you could distinguish it easily.

I found a thread from November, 2018 that bears some relevance to the topic at
hand:

  I would like to see dual-molded parts differentiated too, maybe a new suffix
needs to be created... Maybe Stormchaser has already thought about some options?

I would say it needs to be something in the titles, not in the part number.
We would need something very short because torso assemblies where some parts
occur already have crammed titles. So a code, of sorts, like BAM. It will need
to be something not used in any other part titles or numbers.

Having all that in mind, what do you think about adding the letters DMO
(standing for Dual MOlded) to the titles of dual-molded parts?
This would include those parts that come in similar printed/molded patterns
that are not currently distinguished with separate catalog entries.

This will allow two things: finding all dual molded parts in the catalog by search
and excluding dual molded parts from searches.

  Should dual molded legs or arms in their respective assemblies really be considered
as decorated?
To me BL considered the decorated as by means of printing or applying decoration
using stickers.

example
 
Part No: 970c00pb0970  Name: Hips and Legs with Molded Dark Orange Lower Legs / Boots  Pattern
* 
970c00pb0970 Hips and Legs with Molded Dark Orange Lower Legs / Boots Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Decorated

the reasoning is, how is that any different from legs assembly with single color
legs but different color hips or mismatched leg colors?
 
Part No: 970d46  Name: Hips and 1 Medium Azure Left Leg, 1 Bright Light Orange Right Leg
* 
970d46 (Inv) Hips and 1 Medium Azure Left Leg, 1 Bright Light Orange Right Leg
Parts: Minifigure, Legs

I feel the same way about dual molded arms
 
Part No: 973c83  Name: Torso Plain / Yellow Arms with Molded Green Short Sleeves Pattern / Yellow Hands
* 
973c83 (Inv) Torso Plain / Yellow Arms with Molded Green Short Sleeves Pattern / Yellow Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

There are reasons for not separating them, mainly for new buyers not knowing
or caring about the difference or just the general way of looking at it, but
I feel like there is no real definition for the term decorated that should be
defined. As far I am concerned, dual color molding is not really decorating.

Any thoughts?

Miro

I support the change. Also the pics you posted are lovely.

LOL

By the way, does that mean you have an original copy of this set (i.e. you got
the set new and never mixed it with other parts)? If yes, could you check if
the parts
 
Part No: 32064  Name: Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Axle Hole
* 
32064 Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Axle Hole
Parts: Technic, Brick {Yellow}
are the "c" type?
[p=32064c,3]

Yes, I have this item in original condition and never mixed with other items.

I will look regarding this Question and give you a Feedback today in the evening.

I forgot that there are two ways to attach the arms. I think the parts are still
in my original box for the set.

Hey I would Like to confirm: Ist ist the C-Type!

Could you please submit an inventory change request for this? That way, you get
credit for the change. If you would rather that I do it, just let me know.

Cheers,
Randy
