I've noticed that both

 
Minifig No: sw0325  Name: Watto (Dark Bluish Gray Hands)
* 
sw0325 (Inv) Watto (Dark Bluish Gray Hands)
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 1

and

 
Minifig No: sw0649  Name: Watto (Tan Hands)
* 
sw0649 (Inv) Watto (Tan Hands)
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 1

claim to use

 
Part No: 92759pb01  Name: Minifigure, Head, Modified SW Watto with Vest and Belt Pattern
* 
92759pb01 Minifigure, Head, Modified SW Watto with Vest and Belt Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Head, Modified

but it appears that they are different.

The older version has yellow eyes with a more narrow vest opening while the newer
version appears to have orange eyes with a wider/more stretched vest opening
where the draw strings are located on the printing.

I don't have either one of them in stock or in hand, does anyone have both
versions in hand that they can confirm?

Hi,

I apologize in advance for my English, it is translated by Google.
I bought and sorted 9797 sets a lot, so I have information about 9797 sets.
Lego released 3 versions of the set in 2006, 2009, and 2012. You can distinguish
the set versions by the LEGO copyright information on the boxes and paper sheets.

The first version of the set (2006) had the following differences:
1 version of NXT - Complete Brick
6538b Black Technic, Axle Connector 2L (Ridged with x Hole x Orientation)
4716 Black Technic, Gear Worm Screw, Long
6558 Black Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise
3647 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 8 Tooth
4019 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 16 Tooth (First Version - 4 Round Holes)
32269 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 20 Tooth Double Bevel
3648 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 24 Tooth (2nd Version - 1 Axle Hole)
x1678 Dark Bluish Gray Electric, Rechargeable Battery 7.4V - NXT, AC plug

The second version of the set (2009) had the following differences:
2 version of NXT - Complete Brick
6538c Black Technic, Axle Connector 2L (Smooth with x Hole + Orientation)
4716 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear Worm Screw, Long
6558 Blue Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise
3647 Dark Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 8 Tooth
94925 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 16 Tooth (Second Version - Reinforced)
32269 Tan Technic, Gear 20 Tooth Double Bevel
3648 Dark Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 24 Tooth (2nd Version - 1 Axle Hole)
87662c01 Very Light Bluish Gray Electric, Rechargeable Battery 7.4V - NXT, DC
plug
Add 55615 Light Bluish Gray Technic, Pin Connector Perpendicular 3 x 3 Bent with
4 Pins

Third version of the set (2012) had the following differences:
Removed x1676 Black Electric, Converter Cable, Mindstorms NXT 35cm
Removed 6035c01 White Electric, Light Brick 1 x 2 with Single Side Light (6034
/ 6035)

There are errors in inventory 9797, this set did not have details of color "Light
Gray".
I didn't track the differences in the parts of the minifigures.

Best regards
Alexei

I want to put forward multiple requests regarding a few Bionicle supplementary
sets.

First issue: the original 18 Bionicle masks come in 6-10+ colors each. However,
most of them only come in one or a few sets, in one or a few colors. The rest
come from "mask packs", where you could get two random masks from a set palette
of colors. Because these mask packs are random, bricklink has them labeled as
"cannot be inventoried", but this means that the majority of official colors
that these parts come in do not show up in the catalog. As a result, many sellers
upload their parts incorrectly, as well as buyers putting them on their wanted
lists wrong.

A particularly strong example of this is the "bionicle mask kaukau". It's
a more popular one, with the trans-neon-orange variant selling for around $12
right now. However, 22 people put trans-orange on their wanted list, and sellers
capitalized on this by uploading them as such. If you look at the price guide
for regular trans-orange, they sell for a whopping $20-40!

I propose that to cut down on confusion, these sets be changed to have inventories
that list only alternate parts, so that the accurate color names show up as suggestions
when people add the parts to their inventories or wanted lists.

If somebody is willing to help me with this, i will gladly supply information
on which parts could be found in each pack. It does get a little confusing, but
bionicle is very well documented

-----------------------------------

Perhaps contradictory to my first suggestion, there are a few bionicle supplementary
sets that have random parts inventories but DO have inventories on bricklink.
Since these sets usually have no exclusive parts, they SHOULD be changed to "cannot
be inventoried", especially since there's no point in selling them unless
they're unopened.

These sets include:
6620-1 Ultimate Accessory Set 500
6637-1 Ultimate Battle Set
6638-1 Ultimate Creatures Accessory Set (Special Edition) 300+ Pieces
8711-1 Master Accessory Kit 702 Pieces
8713-1 Limited Edition 500 Pieces
8715-1 Ultimate Creatures Accessory Set
