I *had* seen it, probably at the same time as the new 2x4 brick with axle holes
and that technic connector block...
But I can't find it so I probably noticed the part when I was looking at
new items pending approval in our catalog...

All I can say is that I really would like a part like that! I can already
think of some situations I could have solved easily with that. Hopefully some
sleuth can sort this out for us. Please keep us updated.

This is something we are going to look into. From what I have seen over the years,
there is no real "smooth slopes" for some of those parts (or any of them). What
they are are parts that come from molds where the sand-blasted texture has been
worn down over time making the slopes look more smooth than others that were
produced when the molds were new. One thing is for certain - none of them are
smooth like real smooth-molded slopes such as

Why do you think that smooth slopes is not an appropriate entry? I actually prefer
textured slopes and when I order textured slopes and get smooth slopes it does
not make me happy.

There are 87 of the "set", whereas there are 4294 listings for the part. So most
people have listed them as the single part. The sealed ones listed as sets are
likely to be correct, as are the used ones listed as sets as they do not need
to contain the packaging (although the listing should say that).
If you have plenty of a single part set (or single minifigure set), it is often
a good idea to list some as the part (or minifigure) and some as the set, as
different buys will search for different things.

The decision to get rid of the brick hinge and add plate hinge had NOTHING to
do with any kind of purist notion. Rather, it was a decision based solely on
commercial concerns.
When a large portion of sellers list things as an assembly instead of the individual
parts, the listings are effectively split, meaning that for the part in question,
BrickLink's listing strength is diminished. What starts out as a well-meaning
idea based on someone's personal listing preferences then works its way through
the system as an ineffeciency, leading to more complicated wanted list assembly
and maintenance and a lot of missed hits from things like Easy Buy and traffic
that comes to us via Brickset and the Lego replacements parts website.
For that reason, we do not want assemblies in the catalog that have no good rationale
for their existence. The plate assemblies are very useful for sellers of used
parts because they don't have to pull the assemblies apart to list them.
The plate hinges break frequently when they are older.
The brick hinge, to my knowledge, does not break when disassembled. Neither is
it part of a larger class of items that can as a whole be treated as an assembly
- such as wheels and tires.
And lest people forget, this brick hinge assembly was completely removed from
inventories many years ago by Dan himself in what I believe to be was the first
step in decommissioning the entry altogether.
Regarding the idea that we could use the assembly *instead* of the individual
parts as the entry of choice on the site - this is kind of thinking that produced
this entry:
* | | 8c01 (Inv) Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Wheel Holder Bottom with Red Wheel with Black Tire 14mm D. x 4mm Smooth Small Single (8 / 3464c01)
Parts: Aircraft |
It's just easier and simpler for everyone to use the assembly, and little
by little the assemblies are taking precedence over the individual parts in both
listings and sales.
But the reason we can't do that with the hinge brick is because Lego does
not issue the part as an assembly. They never have and likely never will. This
places a constraint on us, because we want to line up our catalog as much as
possible with the way bricks are treated by them. That way there is a smooth
pipeline through the supply chain. This is the same reason we started using multipacks:

While this piece is being discussed, I have always found the name odd. It only
looks like a 1x4 hinge brick when it is paired together. Therefore if it is not
paired, then the parts are not a 1x4 brick. They look like 1x2 bricks with a
bit of modification.
LEGO refers to the individual pieces as a "hinge 1x2 upper part" or "lower part".
Which makes more sense when you are searching for it.
And in terms of setting a precedent:

I believe they have all those colored listings simple because of the difficulty
of taking those two pieces apart. I have broken several trying to do so. With
the 1x4 hinge brick, the pieces can come apart easily. I do not see the Cob's
problem at all. You make more money off of the two pieces if you sell them separately
than together. And it's only one listing more; not like it's a five piece
assembly you now have to disassemble. It's only two pieces.

Not saying it should be deleted, but that reason is valid. There are plenty
of sets where the two parts have different colours. Why would those combinations

Yeah, sorry I get what you mean. But to me that's not a service pack - that's
just an item within a packet. I'm used to product/software service packs,
that are more like upgrades to the original software, or additions to products
that improve the product and/or performance.

Nope. I have none. Dark Ages.
If the sets that use them are using them differently, — that is, if they aren’t
substitutable —, the variant would really be necessary. It wouldn’t be the first
time TLG thought better about making a part “in System,” like
or
I wanted to look at the building instructions to look for a mathematical necessity

On the other hand, another possibility simply is that some are not LEGO

Do you know which sets they come from?
It would be interesting to check if something changed in their uses, mathematically

Looking at the suits side-by-side, (sh498) is definitely the Mark 43. Since the
"cables" are in the same places that plates are, on (sh167), they likely represent
the skeletal inner layer of the suit, visible before the outer pieces are added.
It is an odd design choice, however, as the Mark 43 is never shown in
such a state.

My 10 cents is dont. But if you insist, I am about 900 figs into the approx 1090
figs and variants, it has been about 6 or 7 years worth of work and I estimate
5 to 6000 US Dollars so far. I suggest that you break it down into small batches,
and start a want list and go from there.
You will find that being SW attracts a premium, even common figs get expensive,
there are more than a few figs that will cost you $100 plus each up to $400 or
500 for a cloud city Boba fett. Add in some of the Rare older ones and you have
to search the BL catalogue regularly to find the bargains. I guesstimate that
the average per fig is $10 to 15 each - as new.
Good luck and many grey hairs to you on your quest mate.
Regards
Cameron

| and are both named Mark 43 in the catalog and though they
are very similar, they are distinguishable and I fear there may be an error.
But maybe not?
came in 3 Age of Ultron sets and was originally named "Iron Man MK43".
Tony did use Mark 43 in that movie. And you can recognize design elements from
it in the minifig. All 3 of the scenes depicted in the Lego sets were when Tony
was wearing 43 in the movie. In short, this seems like a closed case.
came out last year, retroactively an Age of Ultron set. It is very
similar to sh167. There is a slight deco change to the legs that reflects nothing
on Mark 33. There is a larger change to the upper torso with a large gray panels
with silver cables. This also doesn't depict anything in the Mark 33 Armor
or the Mark 34 used late in the movie. I don't readily find an MCU Armor
with that design element. What's worse (and embarrassing) is that this minifig
was originally named "Iron Man (76105)". It was me that changed it to "Iron
Man Mk 43 (Trans-Clear Head)" and then to "Iron Man Mark 43 Armor (Trans-Clear
Head)" and I have no recollection of what information I was going on. Maybe
the instructions or box say so? I haven't seen the movie since it came out.
Does this perhaps depict damage that Hulk did to the Armor?

Put a want list together and it should bring up the stores that have the most
in one place, you will be ordering from multiple stores as Star Wars is your
biggest single category for figs

Maybe just a US / EU difference on the boxes: number of parts is an obligation
in the USA, it’s rarely on EU boxes.
For the minifigures, 5 are Disney characters, 2 are statues. They just decided
the statues weren’t real minifigures after all.
There might be other differences in the production runs: newer variants, different
extra parts….
At least, for now, no one has come and said the inventory was wrong

+ a little form with confirm this inventory/add remarks
it would need a given minimum confirmations to be accepted as ok.
The need is mostly to buy the right parts in right colour to be able to build
the set when we can't get it in store for any reason.
By the way, I have add this cute micro Systar in the Studio gallery a while back
using pictures from a german website but cannot be sure of the exact colour used,
even it's not such a big deal to use a dark pink plate instead of a magenta
one for instance (unless price of one part in one rare coulour is very high,
which is not the case here).

Interesting, so Germany is an exception as in other countries those Monthly Mini
Model Build Sets are distibuted in polybag from 2012. Check this article https://brickset.com/article/2243/brand-store-monthly-mini-model-build-now-in-polybags
See the attached photos of this certain example set.
That is why those from 2012 and later are in the catalog as sets. And those older
ones are still as instruction in gear category only
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?catID=745&catXrefLevel=0&catType=G&q=Monthly+Mini+Model+Build&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000
Of course previous catmins accepted some in store build as sets but they are
still exception. So we have some precedences (Like those three Brickheadz). But
still policy that they goes as instruction to gear category till we run this
certain project from road map.

Honestly?
I wouldn't be surprised if this is indeed the case, as I have seen differences
in 2x2 inverted slopes, especially with Blue, and LEGO has experimented with
various 'compositions' of the plastic over the years, and I have often
seen texture differences with 1x plates, as well as various Trans colours, as
there are documented differences over the years of some of them being quite distinctly
different, but LEGO doesn't distinguish between them, for example, Trans
Orange comes to mind, and I 've seen Trans Light Blue come into play as well.
You can always list them separately, and I've done this myself.

Inside is a sharper curve and has a smooth top.
Outside is shallower curve and has a serrated top.

| When sorting my parts
I've noticed some blue and black versions that look different. The shade
of blue is a bit greenish (image may not show this clearly) and the shade of
blue is a bit greyish. They are easily identifiable by their color variation
but they can also be identified by some whitening/fraying along the edges. I
believe they're made from a softer plastic than usual. Are these vintage
or from certain special sets?

I have in my possession two types of 3039p23 Light Gray Computer Screen with
buttons on the right side.
The regular version (left) has buttons in Yellow, Green and Red - reading downwards.
The other version (right) has the Yellow and Red buttons swapped.
Would this difference be enough for a new code number or at least a mention on
the 3039p23 page.

Hi
From time to time this part comes up.
It's a print error.

I googled the team name as you suggested. First on the list was a article on the North Albany Middle School page. Sounds like a fantastic group of young ladies! I hope their success continues in all facets of life!

Bummer that they aren't available for another month but, not as bad as not
coming out until Christmas! Curiosity got the better of me so, I googled "LEGO
SPIKE Prime robot". Interesting looking set. From the images I saw it looks like
that part will be magenta/hot pink in color. Not sure what bricklink color it
falls under. Looks like it's going to have some unique wheels and a new power
pack as well. Are the 2x4 bricks with the 3 axle holes new also?

Pretty sure you created it. Have not seen torso mismatched with arms and legs
in this Classic Space theme. They started doing that with Futuron later down
the line. Also yellow hands is another giveaway.

The piece was probably first produced in 2002. It takes some time from the first
design of a new piece until it actually shows up in a set. So it's not unusual
for a piece to have a copyright year on it that is a year before it first appears
in a set.
