That one isn't in the BAM. The BAM versions I have seen all come in a gloveless
form and the buyer adds the glove to it.
|
Is it possible that in German or USA LEGO Brand stores it is sell with glove?
|
I assume the boxes they come in are the same. All the ones I have seen in the
UK have been without glove. Of course, staff or other customers could add the
gloves then leave the assembly.

Can we add years to these. Clearly we know what year these appeared first. Also
it would be nice to note somewhere (item description or sub-category) that these
are exclusive to the Build-A-Minifigure (BaM) station in LBR stores. It will
help to have this information in the future, and the years will make it useful
to place these into some chronological context.

Are we sure that there aren't examples that such item later were used in
normal sets. I do not reckon now such cases when firstly such parts were in BaM
station and later appeared in normal sets but maybe there are such. Then adding
year could be problematic as when parts appear in a set then system add year
automatically and I do not know what bug in the system then occurs
For now we add years for those type parts
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemBrand=1000&itemType=P
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?catType=P&catString=534&itemBrand=1000
The problem is also with normal parts which are in sets but are in colors which
do not appear in sets. Recently were added
in Orange
and
in Bright Light Yellow
There is no possibility to match that they are from BaM station
But for now I added a note for mentioned torso part you can check if it is OK.

This thread is a useful reminder that exemplifies that measurement values without
units creates confusion. I work as a scientist in my day life, and talking about
measurements without units causes same problems.
To the OP, the slope 3684 is 3 bricks tall, which is the same as 9 plates tall
(a brick is 3 plates tall), or 18 Lego units tall (a plate is 2 Lego units).
A good relation measurement is 2x2 brick width is same as 5 plates height, which
means that a 1x1 brick width is 2.5 plates height, therefore the 3684 slope which
is 3 bricks tall = 9 plates height = 4.8 stud widths (12/2.5=3.6). So as you
can see, it makes no sense in referring to this slope as 3.6 stud heights. It's
very confusing. That being said, having units in the dimensions handy, will prevent
further confusions.
Knowing dimensions is very practical when SNOT building, where the orientation
of bricks is placed sideways and combination of upright and sideway bricks.

I suggest to add a note on each single page of inventory for parts (done

Or that the size be formatted as “2 x 1 x 3 (studs x studs x bricks)” or, better,
“2 studs x 1 stud x 3 bricks.”
And these suggestions have been made almost every time a remark such as yours
