  Hi,

Looks like this parts:
 
Part No: 4460a  Name: Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
* 
4460a Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
Parts: Slope
 
Part No: 4460b  Name: Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
* 
4460b Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
Parts: Slope

is taller than described as it is 4 studs high instead of 3 unless there is a
way to measure height I don't know.

Fortunately, there is no 3 studs high slope and I believe any MOCers using the
part just call it by its name and there would be no issue when building.

Strangely, part
 
Part No: 3684c  Name: Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
* 
3684c Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
Parts: Slope
and all its variants looks like to be also 4 studs
high and not 3 (last pic clearly shows the same aspect ratio as 4460).
By the way 3684 is not marked for deletion yet.

Where was the issue ? "It's not you it's us" or just me ?

Thanks.

Length and width are measured in studs, but height is measured in brick heights.
These slopes have the same height as 3 bricks stacked on top of each other.

And that is why exactly many submitters make that mistake when submitting measurements
of part to the catalog.

  Hi All,

I'm building a database in MS Access where I want to compare my sets with
a different set to see if I can build the different set with the parts I have.

What I like to know is, is there a downloadable table with related items, so
if I don't have the original inventory item the DB will search the alternative
items to see if there is a match and give me the quantity of the alternate item?

Or is there an other way to relate the alternate item to the original inventory
item?

Thanx

Thanx all for the quick replies.
I found a downloadable table on rebrickable. For me that is the most useful solution
for my problem.

Generally similar parts can be found on
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogRelList.asp?v=0&pg=1&relID=4
Not easily downloadable, but copy-paste should work.

Then there is:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2488
and similar information can be found through:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?topicID=21

If you only want to know about alternates that are registered within a set, you
will have to look at the inventory of that set through:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInv.asp
or download through:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogDownload.asp


Good luck with it.

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

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 ?

* 
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.

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

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?

Could you have had 497?

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

/Jan

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
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.

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

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.

Okay,

Shall I create 2 new parts for "Thick" and "Thin" ?
Actual 649pb10 should be "unterminated"


-Fred

Yes, create two specific entries so that the original entry will be able to be
marked for deletion and set to undetermined.

Cheers,
Randy

  Question for other SW collectors - is it common knowledge that sealed polybags
will sometimes cost much less than the minifigure itself?

I've run into friends polybags that are the same way. I always try to keep
sets together for resale, but sometimes I'm shocked that its not worth it
for the tiny sets.

I also just finished a Ninjago set recently where the figure was rare-ish and
more than I wanted to pay and I found a seller who had parted a bunch of that
fig out and was able to buy him in pieces for far less than buying the assembled
fig. Its normally the reverse.

https://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?viewFrom=sa&itemBrand=1000&invNew=N&itemType=S&q=%22Built+once%22&searchComments=Y&searchSort=B&sz=500

There are quite a few "new" sets that have been "built once" on here. It seems
admins are busy doing other things instead of removing these when they are reported.

FWIW I had a 4 cent part get removed/flagged very recently because I had somehow
hit new on it when listing it (it was bizzare because the rest of the part out
was marked used with comments stating "good for used" or something to that affect).

So there is either a person or an algorithim out there doing something.

I mean, perhaps the seller just parted out the minifig and forgot to change the
condition from new, sealed to new, incomplete. Does he deserve our wrath, no.
A friendly reminder by a fellow brick linker, yes.

It's easy to get self righteous about things like this... but people make
mistakes... I'm assuming this seller is a human not a robot and it is human
to err.

This struck me as funny as 'spelt' looks like it is spelled wrong to
me.
