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
