According to LEGO, they are Flat Silver:

And they wouldn't match other parts in ABS due to the material used to make
the hoses.

Thanks!

I've been wondering, and please don't take this as any kind of criticism
of how our catalog is being run, but why aren't sets inventoried here faster?
Are we still depending on users to inventory the sets? With Lego owning Bricklink,
I thought the inventory lists would be updated almost at release, either by
Lego supplying a part list, or supplying actual sets for verification.

Hi Jed!

No offense taken. These are just some of the reasons why inventories here have
to be done by individuals:

- LEGO does not include sticker sheets in their data.
- LEGO does not include defined minifigure assemblies in their data.
- LEGO does not include information about extra parts in their data.
- LEGO does not care about what part variants are really in the set.
- LEGO does not name or categorize new parts how BrickLink does.
- LEGO does not name new patterned parts in any way.

And there are more.

BrickLink prides itself on having the most accurate inventories possible, and
that will always include actual users doing inventories. There are some things
we are trying to do behind the scenes to speed up the process, but those are
in the works.

Cheers,
Randy

  Please add the alternate number "28922" to part 90509. I have it in hand, and

Part No: 90509  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (47mm Long)
* 
90509 Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (47mm Long)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil


The skis with numbers 28922 and 18744 are 1mm longer in length than mold number
90509, 48mm to 47mm, respectively. Although the three have their studs in the
same location from the rear of the ski, the hand ridges are slightly higher up
and the pointed ends are longer on the newer molds.

I will consider a split of this part into 90509 and 18744/28922.

Cheers,
Randy


This part has been split into two more distinct entries.

Old entry:

* 
90509u Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil

New entries:
 
Part No: 90509  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (47mm Long)
* 
90509 Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (47mm Long)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil

Comments from Submitter:
I cannot find any evidence that this part exists in Medium Orange, and new parts certainly were not being made in a retired color as late as 2006. Will attach a photo of this set with a Bright Light Orange fence in another post.

This is from an online listing of this set.

In this image the cone looks more Medium Orange, which makes you think the fence
is bright light orange indeed. But I think the fence is yellow.

In that listing, the cone definitely looks orange and the fence looks yellow.


This set may have been updated from earlier colors (medium orange cone and bright
light orange fence) to later colors (orange and yellow) if it was produced for
a couple of years.

That is highly unlikely. Bright Light Orange replaced Medium Orange and there’s
no evidence that this cone ever appeared in the older color. The mold was first
used in 2004, which is after the color change. These parts are definitely just
current colors.


If current colors, then I would highly expect a yellow fence and nothing else.

Also if that fence is the same material as this part:

 
Part No: 6020  Name: Bar 7 x 3 with 2 Clips (Ladder)
* 
6020 Bar 7 x 3 with 2 Clips (Ladder)
Parts: Bar {Yellow}

Then indeed could be yellow but a bit darker that seems Bright Light Orange,
the tone happens in a few other similar material parts.


That's exactly what I was thinking, Sergio. That's why I just ordered
a sealed one of these to be here in a week or so. Then we'll see for sure.

Yes. In fact, I am now doing such a thing for a number of parts along with a
couple of other members. We are trying to learn as much as we can about the "hidden"
parts that are missing in the design number timeline. Thanks for helping with
this "behind-the-scenes" project.

I will get to it soon.

Cheers,
Randy

  I ran across the Duplo Van Type 2 which exists in three different versions. The
1406cxx-part is made from three parts plus wheels screwed together. The top part
has the mould number 58234 visible but is not in the catalog. Is it possible
to add this as an alternate number?

I think 58234 should be added as an alternate part number to all three of the
1406cxx-parts.

The 58235 and 50281 are not as important in the catalog as they are only visible
if you unscrew it.

ps More background info:
The 1406cxx consists of the following parts:
