Try sildenafil. Might help.

Wonder how many googled sildenafil. Now I get it... I Think

Same here using Chrome Windows 10. Checked it at the work computer with Firefox
and same... No large images on click. I really hope they fix it soon. Really
slow looking up minifig torsos or the figs themselves.

I get no large (pop up) images on Windows 7 with IE11. The thumbnail images are
no longer live links.

I have the same bug. It is not just you. Windows 7: Firefox, Chrome, etc. Logged

Mozilla Firefox on the laptop, Google Chrome on the other laptop, and I believe
Opera Browser on the computer. This is very very weird.

Huh, that's odd... I thought it might be my laptop at first but I tried three
other devices and they all have the same problem. The clicker doesn't change
shape when over the picture and clicking does absolutely nothing.

Please submit this information using the appropriate form:

I used the link to enter the size and weight of a new set,

the VIP exclusive reversible tote bag # 5005910 ?

Part No: 973pb3600c01  Name: Torso T-Shirt with Red Trim and 'CHAMPS' Logo Pattern (BAM) / Red Arms / Yellow Hand Right / Reddish Brown Baseball Glove Left
* 
973pb3600c01 (Inv) Torso T-Shirt with Red Trim and 'CHAMPS' Logo Pattern (BAM) / Red Arms / Yellow Hand Right / Reddish Brown Baseball Glove Left
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

Has anyone actually seen this part in a BAM box with the mitt attached? I have
seen multiple of them in three different stores now, and they do not have the
mitt. They have a single hand and a missing hand. You can add either a mitt or
a hand, staff don't care.

So should this be listed with a mitt, given that this is not how it is supplied?
Or at least have a note about this, as not all the torsos will have mitts.

The instructions show the reel in the winch to be black; the inventory here has

Does anyone know for certain which colour the set actually shipped with?

It is hard to believe that Lego makes
mistakes, most of us think that they are gods on Mt Olympus. They also contribute
to problems and often in the distant past put whatever they had into sets. The
old set 800 (I think that that is the number) called for a garage and they substituted
something totally different. They had ran out of the correct parts.

Considering Greek gods are far from paragons of perfection, subject to their
whims, inconsistent, unreasonable, and uncaring of us, mortals, I’d say “most
of us” are on to something here

Set No: 928  Name: Galaxy Explorer
* 
928-1 (Inv) Galaxy Explorer
318 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1979
Sets: Space: Classic Space
as a child, I remember clearly it had one plate of wrong
size in it (different from the one shown in the instructions), and from my recollection
it was the plate that held the control patterned slopes (it should be a 4 x 10
plate). The plate in my set was either 2 studs too long or too short, but I don't
remember which. Unfortunately, I switched the plate to a correct one long time
ago, so I can't prove anything about this today.

Does anyone else remember something like this?

/Jan

Could you have had 497?

No, my instructions say 928. But 497 doesn't seem to change anything with
respect to these plates.

I had a couple of these and I sort of remember a problem like you are writing
about. But my memory is a bit foggy. It is hard to believe that Lego makes
mistakes, most of us think that they are gods on Mt Olympus. They also contribute
to problems and often in the distant past put whatever they had into sets. The

I had this set as a child and don't recall anything like that. And I built
and un-builthe it 100 times.

Probably the consistency and quality control weren't as high back then. I
expect you just had a copy of the set with a packing error.

Hello,

In my sealed version of set
 
Set No: 156  Name: 2 Signals with Automatic Stop / Go Attachment
* 
156-1 (Inv) 2 Signals with Automatic Stop / Go Attachment
6 Parts, 1968
Sets: Train: Supplemental: 4.5V
the connectors are 'Cross-cut'
 
Part No: 996bc01  Name: Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
* 
996bc01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

and not 'Hollow Pin'
 
Part No: 996ac01  Name: Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (Banana Plug)
* 
996ac01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

The current wire in inventory is this one:
 
Part No: 996ac15blue  Name: Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with 2 Leads, 14 Studs Long with 4 Blue Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (x466c14 / 996ac01)
* 
996ac15blue (Inv) Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with 2 Leads, 14 Studs Long with 4 Blue Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Hollow Pin (x466c14 / 996ac01)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

I know wire are on hold for now (project #15)

A) shall I create a new cross-cut connectors wire for 15 studs and modify inventory
(as alternate)?

B) I create inventory request with:
 
Part No: 996bc01  Name: Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
* 
996bc01 Electric, Connector, 1-Way Male Rounded with Cross-Cut Pin (Banana Plug)
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector
and
 
Part No: x466  Name: Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with two Leads, unspecified length
* 
x466 Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with two Leads, unspecified length
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

I prefer option (A).
As every wire length for same type of connectors are going to grow or reduce
the same size depending of project #15.
For example: if wire 996ac15blue need to be adjusted +1 studs, new wire on option
(A) will also grow +1 studs

I presume you reported the listing? If so then it will get removed

What might work faster than reporting it is contacting the seller. Tell them
that you think they made an error in the listing and they should probably fix
it.

For those dishonest sellers who do this on purpose, they're not really helping
themselves. Nobody who wants a new set is actually going to buy one that isn't,
and someone who doesn't mind a used, incomplete set for a better deal is
probably going to hide all new listings. They're basically harming their
own business and are giving themselves a bad name. I'm not going to order
from someone who purposely is dishonest on listings, what else might they be
lying about?

As you can see on the picture, the men is not the same on both sign
Should I create a new part, or request to add an additional note ?

It will be difficult to know which part goes on which set.

I'd bet $2.30 that one is from the 1988 set and the other is from the 1969-1972
sets.
