I am putting together my used set Star Wars Republican Attack Gunship for resale
- but a lot of the white parts are discoloured. This is the image of them after
soaking in hydrogen peroxide (3%) overnight. Given they are still discoloured
I wonder if they are fit for resale? Is quite pricy to replace the lot, but
I don't want to disappoint the buyer! Any views on the best way to proceed?
Thanks

It is OK to sell faded used parts either as parts or in sets as long as the description
of the item for sale accurately describes the condition. You can use the extended
description and include words such as "many of the white parts yellowed/faded
but otherwise good condition". Obviously price accordingly.. IMO taking off the
price of replacing those parts would be a good basis.

Hello,

can someone please help me to identify the minifigure legs in the pictures? they
are blue "Hips and Legs with Black Shoes Pattern", which is very similar to item
970c00pb1267 "Hips and Legs with Black Shoes Pattern".

The problem is that such an item is available in only 2 colors (red and dark
blue), while the legs I have are BLUE.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Simone

I've always suggested that when there isn't any defining print detail
and only two plain tones of colour (be that printed or dual molded) we should
be able to locate them using a simple search term such as two-tone legs but others
seem to prefer that we guess what the black area is meant to represent be that
boots, shoes, sandals, slippers trainers, socks, feet etc...

However is your item found under black feet....

970c00pb1140 Hips and Legs with Black Feet and Continuing on Sides Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Decorated

and that was one of the last searches I tried after almost giving up myself!

actually the colour you have looks more like medium blue rather than blue so
perhaps its not yet in the catalog?

Can't be since it doesn't have the white stripes.

yes, it cannot be 970c00pb0239 because the one I have is plain blue (except for
the shoe pattern), without any white stripes

here is the notice I have showing it in blue. It was logic to me because of the
blue logo. It's weird that you have (or me) have a notice with a different
color.

There is a listing on Ebay: the same instructions but the seller put two white
bricks. (why didn't he follow the instructions he owns?!)

This can also be an error that TLG corrected in later prints of instructions.
This is very hard to verify.

I searched for some instructions on Ebay and it seems there are two different
instructions indeed. The one with the blue bricks is the same as the second instruction
image on Bricklink (thanks for noticing Stuart). This image also shows a separate
small page, because of an error in the Instruction: It misses the 2x2 Tile (and
2x3 plate instead of one of the 1x2 plates) where the bed of the truck rests
on.

So I'm thinking of considering this complete instruction as an error. Maybe
this replacement page shows white instead of blue bricks on the back, who knows.

I will add a note to the inventory about this and leave this request open for
a while. I want to check images, sheets and info on my old desktop and find the
sets and instructions I have myself. Maybe I have some more info on this I forgot
about.

I couldn't find any info about this error page in my archives. I have 5 instructions
of this set and all show white 1 x 1 bricks (including 2 Samsonite instructions).
I will leave it to the note I added for now. To add blue bricks as alternate
items we would need more evidence / info about the extra error page.

Anyway, thank you for the change request. I like puzzles like this

I made one image of front and back of the Instruction with the blue error page
from Bricklink on top. The second image shows the 'white bricks' Instruction.

Diana

PS If there are still some more Vintage LEGO fans out there, who have more info,
feel free to help us out. I'm kind of missing these Vintage Collectors.

Comments from Submitter:
For this set it's not clear how the Minifigures should be assembled. So the Minifigures should be removed from the Set Inventory and the parts should be added.
- The set doesn't have an instruction
- The box shows differences in Minifigure Builds
- The Parts List on the back of the box doesn't show the numberson the back of the torso's.

Although the set image shows three brown and one black hair #3901, the Parts List shows 2 of each, which is confirmed by sealed set contents:

Death Star Imperial Trooper

Hello.

I have a Death Star UCS 10188. It is 75% new, with just Box 1 opened, and Bags
1 opened. These bags contained the Minifigures. Some of which where missing.
I have sourced replacement figures but I have now found that one of the two Death
Star Imperial Troopers has a slightly different Torso. In that on the metal buckle
of the utility belt, one has a Black circle, and one doesn't. Everything
else is identical. Does anyone know if this is for a different Minifigure or
a strange variant.

The photo attached shows both Minifigures.

Thanks, Ian.
