|
| I came across some old Duplo bricks and do see where the catalog entry lists
differences for the variations on the connections underneath. Is there merit
in mentioning the 'Pat Pend' connection as it is drastically different?
Does it classify as '3011old'?

I really love how this image looks. How can we get more updated images of classic
sets. I have several that I have been taking lately that I would be glad to
offer if needed.

As a rule, we only use official images for sets. This one was approved as an
exception, but I have moved it to the alternate slot.
We are currently looking to get larger / better images directly from the LEGO
Group for a lot of the older sets.

That is great to hear. I think they would sell better if we had quality photos
of each one. When I list these older sets I typically post my own pictures because
some of them are so poor.

The original inventory submitter did not have the parts anymore to verify, but I found multiple unboxing/building videos that show that the newer solid-stud version of 42445 (Design ID 49546) was the part included in this set.

Attached are images from three of the unboxing/building videos.

Admin Russel,
Where there any evidence to remove all the clips 4081a from this inventory in
Nov 2018?
How can I add them back?

| Hello,
The site is amazing and very useful. Thank you.
I can choose quite easily a store to buy the specific blocks in a wanted list.
But many of blocks are only sold in abroad stores and that increases the price
and the ETA. In some case, considerably.
Is some case is worth to buy a set that can be find easier to sale than specifics
blocks in my country.
And that is my suggestion: a option to show what is the best set to buy for a
wanted list.
In the result some similar what exists today to choose a store: a list of sets,
with the total of blocks in each want; how many blocks can be used and which
are the blocks.
Thank you for your time and the great work.

There was a presentation this weekend at the Brickworld virtual convention that
featured the LEGO House. This was one of the exclusive sets that was shown /
discussed during the session. It was mentioned that the LEGO House only reopened
June 22 and that is the only place it can be purchased.
In comparison to the original wooden toy, it is quite close in size. The bill
opens and closes as the model is pulled along.

Maybe this is not so complete as catmins would like to believe it is as it appears
that none of those sets are in the catalogue at this time.
Also:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1204676
seems to be voided now.
So perhaps this project should be set to under consideration again just so the
ball is not dropped and the technical issues, whatever those may be, can be addressed
before the goal date. I would dearly like to believe that BL will eventually
give members what they want.

Funny enough, I found a couple of sticker sheets for Superman the other day.

But it's a shame that I have used all the parts for something else now.

|
| To come back on the serif numbered bricks (3005pt{number}s) the variations in
print are due to the material (CA, ABS) and the mold pip (edge, side):
1. CA with old logo and edge mold pip (around 1958-1963). Old logo is wide straight.
2. ABS with old logo and edge mold pip (around 1963-1968). Old logo is wide round.
3. ABS with modern logo and side mold pip (around 1968-......)
See pictures.
This also explains the variantion in the print, which are in all the 3 cases
embossed. The 3005pt{number} is also embossed and the 3005pt{number}b has a surface
print.
In Catalog Identification, primadeluxe writes:
| | Within the serif numbered bricks (3005pt{number}s) I found also some difference
in the print. See picture. For example number 6: right in the picture has an
old logo on the stud and the two on the left have modern and old logo on the
stud, but I think this are just variations.
So maybe a reshuffle of the images, variantions and sets appearing is in order.
Also looking at set 237, because the bold numbered bricks could not be a alternate
for this set. The bold numbers all have a modern logo (1968) and yet in 1966
the set 237 (1960) was replaced by set 437. So the bold numbered bricks could
be a alternate for set 437, but not for set 237.

487, 437 and 237 and not the ones which are know appearing (3005pt{number}).
Looking at the pictures of these sets, it would make sence, also because the
serif bricks have both the modern logo (appears in 1968) and old logo (appears
in 1958) on the studs.
The number bricks of my picture only have the modern logo on the stud and from
which sets they are I do not know. I have looked at a lot of pictures of sets
with numbered bricks, but did not find one with the bricks on my picture. So
they could easely be the 3005pt{number} bricks.

is the bold font (NL: 'vetgedrukt' ) as in the left in your
picture,
is the serif font (NL: 'met schreef' ) as in the right in
your picture.
is neither bold nor with serif, so must be the middle one in your
picture. It's image is a render, not a photo. This may explain why it looks
differently. Looking at the part numbering, it may have originally been intended
as the non-distinguished variety, but seeing your picture, it must be the plain
(thin) variety.
Can you upload your image as an additional image for these parts? I think it
is enlightening to see the bricks side by side for comparison.

Comments from Submitter:
I am not sure if this set just came with these doors with thin handles, as the set has at least been issued twice (one with FTPine and one with GTPine). That is why I submit the doors with thin handles as a alternate, because these are in the set I bought as a child. Or was it a birthdaypresent? Hahaha!
|
Just like the other sets that have had the doors replaced, there is a very strong
possibility that this set never had the thick-handled doors.
Instead of adding these doors as alternates, I am going to put them in the Regular
Items section since they chronologically came before the doors with thick handles.
I am also going to remove the thick-handled doors from the inventory. If someone
can later prove that this set ever came with thick-handled doors, then those
can be readded as alternates to the thin-handled versions.
Cheers,
Randy
