| I purchased a set of the first three Maersk sets (1650-1,1651-2,1552-1) from
a former Maersk Employee. It had 2 copies of Black 3002old Brick 2 x 3 without
Cross Supports. Which is why

* Change {11 to 12} Part White 3002old Brick 2 x 3 without Cross Supports
Comments from Submitter:
This set has two competing designs for the main models: the box cover and the instructions shows a build with a shorter funnel, while if you follow the steps in the instructions it requires one extra 2 x 3 brick. After surveying multiple sets the pattern is for sets in the best condition to come with only x1 black 2 x 3 brick with the stickers attached to a white 2 x 3 brick. Personally I suspect the copies with the stickers attached to a black brick are probably the result of people building the set like depicted on the instruction cover.

In Catalog, WOLKsite writes:
| | All of my 23221 are noticeably different in length (and longer than what the
name describes). Is this a common issue?
Four of these (all except the shortest one, the ones with the brighter green
rubber bands - I don't believe those are LEGO bands) are from a used copy
of 7690. The other one is from my 2007 copy of set 7691.
Of course, it is very hard to make these not bend so much... The baseplate in
the image is 48x48. The brick separators mark the lengths when straightened outs.
This increased length has pretty significant impact on 7690, putting quite a
lot of stress on the bricks. The shortest one is just short of 33 studs long,
the longest is 40.
LEGO describes these as 252 mm (31.5 studs).

| If you will look at the bottom of the Bricklink inventory, there is an explanation
for this.
Note:
Redesigned during production.
There are at least two different versions of instructions for this set. The differences
for the second version are indicated in this inventory in the Alternate Items
section with Match ID 99.
Quick overview of redesign: In the cockpit module various parts are added to
strengthen the build. In the track assembly two black 3708 Technic, Axle 12 are
replaced by four black 6558 Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise,
enabling the tracks on each side to move independently from each other.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are numerical errors in the parts lists in the instructions for both versions
of this set. The early version of the instructions incorrectly lists only one
pair of minifigure legs, but two are included. It also lists 13 dark bluish gray
32291 Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular Double, but only 12 were
included. The later version of the instructions incorrectly lists one black 6558
Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise, but 18 are included.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dark bluish gray 32523 Technic, Liftarm 1 x 3 Thick in the later version
of the set has also been found in dark gray. The black 6538b Technic, Axle Connector
2L (Ridged with x Hole x Orientation) have also been found in the set as 6538c
Technic, Axle Connector 2L (Smooth with x Hole + Orientation).

No condition = complete though, as you can set them to Incomplete like you suggested

Now that I think about it, did the CMFs change in how they were inventoried meaning
you couldn't set incomplete on more recent series (and this is what you meant
about not having a condition like Sealed)? Or does the Incomplete condition remain
hidden on those but still are set that way?

Why would you recommend they do the opposite?

Is there a general consensus on how we should sell the Marvel Series 2 CMFs now

sold as a "new", "complete" set, like the foil bags? Or just
ditching them entirely? Has anyone sold a complete set of 12? I imagine the buyer
does not want 12 boxes.

Maybe someone recalls having the same issue, or perhaps have seen/bought second-had

I wonder if this is just a freak accident and no alternate variant is needed
in the inventory, or we do actually need to add the variant. If this has happened
before - there might be used sets floating around that are 'invalid/incomplete'
due to this.
Additionally. The 2006 variant (10152-3), apparently, had some hiccups with the
production because of TLG being short on some parts? Read:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1022655
Perhaps they were short on more than one thing, resulting in shipping sets with
different counts of the sticker sheets as well?

| Several points.
Anything that thin but large sent Ground will get caught in the machines and
damaged. If sent Priority, they process it differently. But the dimensional weight
for Priority tends to kick in.
It's why I stopped selling them. Particularly a packing issue if they order
anything else but the baseplate. Add a couple of bricks and the package gets
big or you have to ship in 2 packages. Either way gets expensive for the customer.

It should not trigger dimensional weight if it is 18"x18"x2" = 3/8
ft³, so I am not understanding why it would be more expensive than regular GA
shipments. Please help me understand since I don't want a surprise when I
sell one.

Yes, it's that darn pesky LR 13000 counterweight still bugging me
So, BL managed to get the original listing deleted, only for the same seller
to relist the same parts right away again (allthough at a slightly lower price,

And now a second seller have joined the party

| | Hi there,
I need some help / advice.
I was browsing bricklink for a seller who sells 2 small identical lego pieces
that are very rare in the color i need them and they were only released in 1
set that has been gone for over 15 years. I lost them and want to complete the
set again.
I found them with a seller who has 90 of them, They came with 3 including the
spare in the set. This seller does not sell any other distinguishable items that
came with this set, Including the minifigures etc so i do not think this seller
parted out 30 of this now 300 usd set
The feedback of this seller is 99+ and more then 200 orders
How big is the chance the item on stock is not genuine Lego? Do rare original
parts turn up after years as left overs ?
Do all lego parts have a way of identifying them as the real thing?
I assume the seller has no bad intentions and if the part is no original lego
is not aware of this
I understand that me not mentioning the part makes it a bit vague but if i am
wrong i do not want the seller to feel offended.
|
could be some Lego store owner died & his distant relatives ( who had no clue
he had a Lego sstore ) just sold off his stuff at a yard sale in box lots.
having 1 or 100 single parts from a set does not entail the seller bought complete
sets. i buy 20 pound bulk lots & sort them. random bricks tossed in a bin.
it's fun.
i run into tons of rare parts, doubt any of them are significantly from the same
sets on any noticeable scale. but that doesn't not mean they are fake parts
just because accompanying parts from those sets aren't being sold as well.
but, yeah, i would say keep seller/ item anonymous... if your wrong, offending
them isn't going to be your problem, it wold be the Defamation on your part
you would need to focus on..

The bottom five have a line/ring, but the top of that line/ring is not rounded

Looking at the catalog images, it looks like this might be a difference between
production for the 2012 (green version?) and 2015 (black version?) sets, but
I cannot confirm that. Looking at the instructions, all use the same ElementID
so that would make it a variation and not a different part design.
If both versions of this figure are common (and I think that they are), I think
that the variations are so different that both should have their own catalog

slightly higher and so will not allow the cockpit to close.
Any thoughts? I’ve tried with several different pieces with the same result.
Again, sorry if I’m not being clear enough or this isn’t following protocol.
I will learn.
Thank you!

I presume that once hostilities cease trade will resume.

No, those are "milky white with glitter" Allianz Arena bricks. Made for

The new brick was released this week.
Interestingly enough, your brick does also not fit the standard mould designations.

If it was a LCP set then I'd imagine there would be a picture of the box
somewhere on the internet, or some other record rather than someone on reddit
saying it is 1/100 and someone else 1/3. They all seem to be in the same display

It is highly unlikely to be. It is a modern item. So if it was made by LEGO,
there would be some sort of packaging with the LEGO logos and a LEGO copyright
notice. There would be some trace of that somewhere on the internet.

officially licensed by Lego.

I wouldn't trust people on reddit without any evidence.

Not really, as the parts are likely to originally be genuine LEGO but then printed

I doubt it, you'd get through to a customer service rep who would say it

you can even cut them shorter legally since both hoses are meant to be to cut

Legally with Friction and Support kind of. If you cross over to the Grey area
while keeping it LEGO. There are several ways.
Its clear several people have pointed out the obvious ones so I won't rehash
them.
#1 If Friction and Support isn't that much of an issue use a short piece
of Pneumatic hose or soft axle. roughly around 5-6 studs long is probably the
best way to go. as long as there is hollow space which I believe there is.. I
do not recall there being any webbing or the throat is deep enough for some length
of tubing.
might be too long
#2 While some go off as Dirty or Illegal. I have a Bin full of Broken pieces.
Sometimes the best piece is a recycled/modified piece. I have in a pinch razor
knifed studs to make male to male pieces. While in this decade we can find pieces
to get us there or close; one of my all time favorite mods to use on busted pieces
for these type of connections if space allows it was the headlight side of this
piece.
need to be the older ones with thin flange. new ones are much wider.
|
Interesting. A soft axle might do the trick if it was cut to the exact length
required to have some 'grip' but it will still be an illegal technique
that LEGO never would use.
Thanks anyway, appreciate your thoughts!
