I think it would be confusing to be in a store and see parts that are not in
the store.
Besides, what would you do with that list while in the store? You need to go
to another store or to the Buy page to find said other store anyway.

Use the Buy page, find the store in the list (if it has many parts you want,
it will be on top),

If the shop is “favorited,” it will be on top too if you check the corresponding

to be split over an excessively confusing difference that requires no less than
three comparison images.

Ouch, I just checked all 5mm versions that I currently have for sale. I found
one blue and about half of my black ones (13) bearing mold number 4623. I can
therefore conclude that mold number 4623 was used for both versions of this part
(I have checked the 6mm versions also, they also bear this number).
I ought to have seen this already this a month ago when I was double-checking
the contents of my childhood sets. Those sets have been mixed together, but for
my mid-80's castle sets, I was wondering why all of them had 5 mm versions
when the inventories stated they had to be 6 mm. Not a single 6 mm found among
those sets. So I replaced the parts with 6 mm versions believing this was the
right thing to do. But now I know why I didn't find the 6 mm art in them.
The 5 mm version was apparently already in use during the 80's with the same
mold number.
The catalog for this part is now officially a mess, and an admin need to work
on fixing this. Sorry to be the messenger.

Regardless of the history of the nomenclature, it is confusing and is not based

Yes. The only clip-like part for which “vertical/horizontal” as used here could
make sense is the minifig hand (because of the already established meaning of
“vertical/horizontal” for human hands). And that part isn’t described as a clip
nor has “clip” nor any orientation in its description….

It was a short-sighted initial decision and it has unfortunately been perpetuated.
|
Yes.
And it’s a difficult decision to correct now, as there isn’t any other pair than
vertical/horizontal (that I know of) to describe the difference between the clips.
The only way would be to swap the meanings of vertical and horizontal, creating
confusion.
(Hence the latest change from “clip vertical” to “clip (vertical grip).”)

They all agree on what “vertical” means for this part.

As the part is “recent” (2008/2009), it’s not on lugnet (which died in 2002),

clips.
There’s no traces whatsoever of a change of names.

LEGO uses the same element ID for different variants and prints.

It’s not “carried through” by “laziness.” It’s simply because Brickset’s database
IS (a copy of) LEGO’s database.
They get their data directly from LEGO and don’t change anything because their

A minifig hand is a clip and it’s clearer / more natural to apply “horizontal”

Ok, that makes sense.
But still, if the inventory is exactly the same, does it need a separate entry?
Imho, there should be at least a note saying what the difference is. And wouldn't
that note be sufficient?
For this one, there's only a note to explain the difference, no separate
entry.

I think the older one should have a plain-studed head too.
But inventories don’t always show these differences.
So it’s more that we know they use different variants but it doesn’t show in
the inventories (yet?).
