should perhaps be given 'pi' numbers instead of 'idea' numbers?
Likewise dimensions Gimli, Gandalf, Legolas should maybe have a 'lor'
number instead of 'dim' same goes for Slimer and Stay Puft Marshmallow
man which also have 'dim' numbers instead of 'gb'
With the original ghostbusters minifigs from Ecto-1 it looks like they were already
changed from 'idea' numbers to 'gb' numbers with an i on the
end which might be a good way to keep some continuity on the site?

No thoughts on this from anyone? It really must be just me then?

Other countries translated it to Filosofal, Sorciers, Wijzen, etc. But I don't
buy into the English/English language barrier in this case. Sorcerer sounds like
a darker version of Wizard, and not so academic as Philosopher.
Far as the web of sites go, Huw runs Brickset from England, while BrickLink is
quite Ameri-centric. So it's not so odd that Brickset would choose
the original.
(I'd like to think, after her breakout success, JK Rowling grew powerful
enough to overthrow Scholastic's bid at HP & the Toilet of Secrets. )

Probably has to do with the country of the person who added it to the catalog
originally. As far as I can tell the founder of brickset lives in the UK where
it was called the Philosopher's Stone. Many (if not all) of the sets were
added to the Bricklink catalog by "Admin" back in 2001-2002 and that Admin may
have been US based.

| Today, I found a variant of with thin walls where the sides are slightly
textured. I found it only in yellow, all other parts have blank sides. There
is also a variant where the thin part of the back wall is slightly textured while
the sides are blank. Please consider updating the note on the part. I'll
be uploading the picture to the part. Accept it if you want it.

| Author: | primadeluxe | | Posted: | Jun 13, 2020 07:48 | | Subject: | Fancy a quiz about stickers set 374-1? | | Viewed: | 70 times | | Topic: | Catalog | | Status: | Open | |
| Here we go: (the answers are on the bottom of this message)
1. How many Classic Fire Logo stickers are on the stickersheet of set 374-1?
2. How many Classic Fire Logo stickers are on the counterparts together?
3. Which counterpart is responsible for the difference?
4. Can we just rename this counterpart? Yes or No?
5. Why not?
6. What can we do about this?
If you have correctly answered all the 6 questions, your price is the title 'logical
thinker of the day'!
Cheers, Wilbert
Answers:
1. Five
2. Six (3009pb043L: one; 3009pb043R: one; 3001oldpb07: two (both sides); BA067pb01:
two (both sides)
3. Part 3001oldpb07 (look closely to the frontpage of the instructions as the
instructions itself are not conclusive)
4. No
5. As counterpart 3001oldpb07 is also related to set 590-1, which has the right
number of Classic Fire Logo stickers on the stickersheet (six), which by the
way is not proven by the (frontpage of the) instructions. But ok .....!
6. I really do not know hahaha! No seriously: add a new counterpart for set 374-1.

I have this set tucked away somewhere that was opened from a sealed set, so someday
I may get around to digging it out.  However, having said that, I believe it
would be extremely unlikely for that set to have contained 15573.

Thank you all for your replies. I didn't think to check the dates of issue
for 15573.
