I don't know why the request at http://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=169942 was approved. This set *only* contains 2 of each of the parts in question, and they are used on the Eris minifig as shown in the building instructions. I personally verified this inventory last year, and made many requests to ensure it was correct.

Randy,
The parts list has 4 is this a misprint by Lego or should there have
been 4 as well? I don't have the set and must go on the Parts List.

| Except in this case there are not enough parts to make all of them into whole
minifigs.

last of the counterparts.

These should all be listed as regular figs. Just because the figs are in a sitting
position in the instructions shouldn't separate them from the other figs.

except they are not shown assembled as figs. So per the rules, they are not regular.

These early minifigs are an exception to the rule. Take a look at other inventories
that have them and you will see what has been done over the years. The reason
this anomaly has remained is because Dan J himself added the counterparts and
no one has had the impetus to overwrite what he did.
And even though Dan was excellent at seeing the big picture with regards to inventory
policy, he was not the detailed, methodical inventory worker that we usually
see working on these older inventories. He set up the system and mass-uploaded
thousands of inventories, but he left it up to others to do the fine tuning.
When one studies how these minifigs are used in sets, in becomes apparent that
the instructions cannot be used as a reference in the same way as those for movable
figs. Early figs coudn't bend or hold things, so the legs are often removed
from the torso when the fig is active, e.g. sitting in a vehicle or pushing a
wheelbarrow. Sure, if we want to be pedantic about it we could force the normal
rules on these figs. But it isn't practical - using counterparts means that
figs (whole or in part) are listed in three different sections of the inventory
- regular, minifig, and counterpart. This confuses people, and frankly is unappealing
aesthically.

| All Lego ITD accounts are required to have a Brick and Mortar store that has
been in business a certain number of years and sell more than just Lego.

| | Hi,
I may be among the newly banned from S@H. Got a letter earlier this month, existing
orders were cancelled, but haven't ordered more since to confirm I can't
buy.
I want to suggest Bricklink a possible expansion, source for new revenues, and
protection of investment. Working with TLG to become a distributor, or provide
and oversee a distribution line to Bricklink sellers.
I don't believe Bricklink sellers are the resellers TLG is most concerned
with. I would like to see a S@H channel that has some/all the benefits of S@H,
but not the volume limitation on sets purchased. BL and TLG are supposed to be
cooperating, and it would serve both of them to sell to the sellers here.
Reselling concerns could be addressed, even monitored. I'm not familiar with
the Minecraft problem, but problem sets need not be included in the BL@H channel.
This may not work for set sellers, but alternative packaging could be made available,
using basic or generic packaging to help reduce costs, or existing packaging
that has been damaged to prevent resale(like a hot rod pressed through the labels
of records, or covers torn from books). TLG sells mostly sets, we sell parts
that don't compete with most of their core sales.
Bricklink could watch the stores that are involved in this channel, and handle
any store that sells in a way it shouldn't. Start out with purchase limitations
for stores until they have histories or existing inventories that would qualify
for larger purchases. Make sure the parts from sets sold to the stores through
BL@H show up in those store's inventories. Bricklink should get a cut of
any BL@H purchase, plus the normal commision when a store sells those parts.
TLG makes money, makes fans happy, and reduces liability exposure to unhappy
customers. Also, buyers are still able to get parts they need that TLG is not
going to supply. Most PaB parts are way too expensive compared to prices here.
Bricklink is a fan site with commercial practices, but those practices would
be impossible to duplicate profitably with our love for the brick. If I were
to hire someone to do what I do here, unless it is at a special reduced minimum
wage, no profit would be made.
I have to believe an idea like this has already been kicked around. I don't
know why it wouldn't have been explored, but banning sellers and fans from
making economic purchases could change how people feel, could change how TLG
is perceived. Bricklink has been a success, but business have to grow and change
to remain a success.
I would like to ask Bricklink to develop a product distribution channel with
The Lego Group for Bricklink sellers.

This is definitely blue not dark blue. It almost perfectly matches the legs and torso. I believe it was inventoried wrong originally.

Probably confused by the fact that they are shown assembled on the fig on page
4 and then are removed when Eris is in the cockpit on page 24 and then stuck
on the jet on page 75.
