Sure,
Lego keeps track of parts being used in specific colors with Element IDs (Part
Color Codes). And sometimes update them with new numbers to float currently in-use
parts to the top of their filing system. Kinda like renaming an old Word document
to remind yourself that you're still working on it.
There used to be a naming convention for ID #s, but now (I think, 41XXXXX onwards)
they just go up in numerical order.
So,
Color - Element ID - Chronological Order (1,2,3...)

Best part about this is that the hair piece that seems to be the difference isn't
expensive so you can purchase the right one and boost your profits.

| (I was about to ask the same question as Sylvain)
| | This was a fairly expensive order, so I'm wondering how long I should wait
before raising the issue further? Going off of other BL packages with tracking,
recent orders from Germany have taken about 10 days to 2 weeks to arrive - it's
been 9 days now, so would a month be fair?
|
Yeah that's fair. Unless other buyers mention shipping delays?
In the absence of tracking details or 'delivery attempt was made' post-cards,
you should definitely check your local mail hub once a week. A good amount (about
a fifth) of my undelivered packages are from Germany and they get sent back as
timely as possible.

Was going to order this for SylvainXL* in Purple since Violet has fewer options.
https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-118727/JoshuaAnton/large-lego-1x1-brick/
But the color and size were a bit underwhelming, so the current idea is using
Bright Bluish Violet / Trans-Purple for a bigger and better brick. But haven't

The problem here is that the seller is not sure if it was courier's fault
or your fault (that you were not there, you did not check your mailbox for a
notice from PostNord...)
For this reason, and if you paid via PayPal, what I would do in your place is
that I send a message to the seller and I assure him that I am sure the package
was not delivered or there were no attempt of delivery for this reason, I explain
this is not my fault and It is the responsibility of seller to reship the package
but I offer to pay half of the costs (20 Euro + cost of reshipping) and explain
to him that you can get a full refund from PayPal anyway if he does not resend
it.
If you paid via bank transfer, you don't have any leverage to get your money
back. So in that case, I would just pay the whole payment but explain to this
seller that it is his responsibility to pay for reshipping the same as if the
package gets lost.
This should not be a serious problem and I hope you two can find a solution in
a friendly manner!

Your logic is irrefutable! (Seriously though)
It happens from time to time, unfortunately. In some cases, it's easier to
forgive and forget. If you can, call or visit the local mailing hub every 9 days
for unclaimed packages or shortly after estimated delivery.

delved too deeply into these since new sets are so difficult to get, but I always

but I guess it is possible that their hands have been transplanted with something
fake. It doesn't seem super likely, but I don't see anything about the
variant with a quick google search. I thought it might have been a production
change over time, so I checked a couple of the ones in question against Bricklink

Immediately after posting I thought to sort the Fabuland figures by year released
