| 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
is in black.
In Inventories Requests, CBak writes:
| | Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Change {2 to 1} Part Black 3002old Brick 2 x 3 without Cross Supports
* 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.

| The 2 instructions show them to be the same part number.
Maybe someone cut them shorter for a project? I've done that before with
a razor knife.
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
to them.
|
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?

All of your CMFs are listed as complete but with no foil/instructions (all 168
different lots). On top of that, many of your listings say you don't include
the extra parts.
Why would you recommend they do the opposite?

| | Greeting Bricklink,
Is there a general consensus on how we should sell the Marvel Series 2 CMFs now
that they're in stupid boxes? Are you sending the boxes with the figs, if
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.
Thanks for any feedback.

Wow, that is really great, a very useful page! Basically they are the same. The
blue box seems to sell for more than the black box so if you don't have the
boxes you might just as well sell a set under the blue box link rather than the
black box link. Must be the box that is the difference? Thanks!
