It's in the inventory for this set.
Hope that explains things.

The subject is the counterpart / combo for {30179 + x39c01}. There’s several
30179cxx, but not with x39c01 in Yellow.
|
There likely never will be, either, unless TLG decide to do a rerelease of 6434-1
which I highly doubt would ever happen as it's from a bygone era.
The yellow door at the time of it's original release happened to fit the
color scheme of the era the sets were going through, nowadays, it's all color
coordinated and we know a lot more about the parts numbering scheme TLG uses
internally.
If there ever is a need for that particular yellow door in a set design, perhaps
they would reuse it, although given their color palette now, I'd expect it
would turn up in some shade of yellow.
Cheers ...

But, but, it is in your store name!

Then I guess this is why she's selling them?

I wish that was the way it worked, but we both know that it is not. These are
the images in the colors that djklitz mentioned that used to be the catalog
images. They were clear renders, and the colors were spot on. These 3 images
were replaced by the current ones that cause problems.

Ouch! Yes, at some point the BL office dumped all our line-drawn images for part
renders. They decided to trade people complaining that our images were too small
for people complaining about the color of our images. What can we do?
We are still free to correct and upload images. The community still can improve
our catalog.
The old grays are a problem for sure. Those of us who spend time recoloring renders
(of which randyf is our fearless leader) tend to focus on getting new parts and
colors done and less on the vintage stuff.
I've tried a couple of times to set myself to this task but there are so
many gray images and (seriously, I am not making this up...) I dislike the old
grays.
Take care,
~Jen

P.S. One suggestion I would give you is to sort your lists by _color_ instead
of by part name. That way, all dark gray parts get lumped together and all light
gray parts get lumped together. It helps tremendously with the inventorying process.
|
I wish that was the way it worked, but we both know that it is not.
|
And why is that, pray tell? I am in the position to handle these things, so I
believe I know what I am talking about.
|
Because I wish that superior images replaced inferior images, and never the reverse.
| | | | These are
the images in the colors that djklitz mentioned that used to be the catalog
images. They were clear renders, and the colors were spot on. These 3 images

|
They were replaced because _all_ of the old 80 x 60 pixel thumbnail images were
replaced with larger images. At that time, the LEGO renders were chosen as the
default. Not my decision or that of any of the other volunteer admins.
|
I believe that replacing all the old images was a bad decision. I'm not
saying you specifically did it. I honestly don't know what individual or
group was responsible, but I do know that it has led to the trouble that this
thread's initiator experienced.
What a pompous question. You know exactly how to look up all of the catalog
images that I have contributed. I appreciate your many contributions to the
catalog, but I don't think that their vast number is a valid excuse to be
condescending to anyone.

Attached is two examples.
One of set 5958 - Mummy's Tomb when sorting by Item Name. The dark gray slope
looks very light gray.
Also in 5988, two of the light gray parts could easily be mistaken as dark gray.
However, there are many cases of other parts specifically with dark vs light
gray.
It would be awesome to adjust these as I am sure I am not the only one who's
made this mistake. Could we fix these default images to be more representative
of their actual color?
Thanks!

users _are_ free to adjust the colors of the renders and upload them if they
think they are better. I have personally done this on over 9000 images in the
catalog.

Does the hood normally come off as the rest of the figure appears fixed, what

Take the non saber arm off then pry the back off through the arm-hole with a
small screwdriver. Any head accessory should come off. In this case it’s a reddish
brown hood.
