Hi
Colour: I did not compare them with yellow parts, but with the hunderds of yellow
AXLES in different lenght and coming from various sources I have in stock.
The dimple in the black or white axles I have is very tiny.
When I compare the cross of the white and black axle 32 with this of the yellow
ones, it is much sharper.I will try to make a photo.

| I recently bought YELLOW axles 50450 from a dealer on Bricklink offering them
in quantities at a reasonable price.
After arriving I noticed these axles being a bit lighter of colour. Because the
are more colour varieties I wasn't alarmed directly.
But when I looked a bit closer to the axles I also noticed the 'cross'
on the edge of the axle was a bit less sharp. I think normally there is a dimple
at one of the ends- these axes don't have one.
The combination of a quantity offer of this part, the colour difference and the
slightly rougher shape raises some questions.
If it is original: Perfect. If it isn't: How could we stop this? I guess
99% of the customers won't notice.
Or is it simply the end of the premium prices for this sort of parts??
Or place a warning with a clear description of the original?

| We are sad to inform you that our Catalog Adminstrator StormChaser is no longer
part of the Community Expert Program.

Not sure why anyone is surprised about this. There was a big catalog dump that
was largely stormchaser’s baby and it was mostly cancelled at the last minute.
Was he frustrated, probably. Is this the first time he has left BL, no. This
might not be the last we see of stormchaser. He had big ambitions, but it looks
like he wasn’t given the freedom to execute his vision. Maybe BL was right to
not make too many catalog changes at once, but maybe not... Either way, when
you get paid to do a job, it’s important to do your best within the parameters
of that job. I’m just guessing, but I think he was just ahead of his time at
BL. All the best!

Did you check the packet throughly? Sometimes cloth elements can stick to the

| We are pleased to announce that a major new feature was deployed to the catalog
today - Packing Dimensions!
|
Today the last bug was fixed for the new Packing Dimensions Project, Phase 1.
Contributors may now use the question mark link on the catalog detail page to
quickly and easily submit a missing Packaging Dimension (see Image 1).
If the question mark isn't working as a link, it's not a bug - just go
to your Catalog Settings page and check the box (see Image 2):
Show Links to Add Weight and Dimensions
...and be sure to save your settings.
A full 7 months before the April 6 release of this feature, on Sep 6 of last
year I opened a new Forum Topic called Packing Dimensions X, to make it easier
to handle the large backlog of requests that had built up earlier in the year.
When I opened the topic, I actually asked people NOT to contribute except when
necessary:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1220218
As a matter of consideration, please don't add dimensions for parts with
every side under 20mm.
And then on Oct 6, I asked for the following:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1225859
...until we get a tool that goes through the normal approval channels (which
is coming in the next few weeks), please do not submit measurements for an entire
set of [300] decorated parts...
However, now that the tool is ready to use, I would like to officially remove
all restrictions from submitting Packing Dimensions. We are planning to open
up some other forms and give you some handy filters to find missing dimensions
- this will be in Phases 2 and 3. But for now, the paved road is finally open,
so drive on through!
I'd also like to include a little chart showing the effect of releasing this
tool (see Image 3). And we still have 4 more days to go in April.

I saw the blue ? before I saw the forum post. That should speed things up.

They are already in the inventory, as regular and extra parts. This is similar

This will be worth more, as it is a nice one that can also be used for variation
and not just curiousity. Did you get it in a set, or in a lot? I think one of
the Chinese sellers that do missing print / bad print parts was selling that
one a few years ago. I bought a lot of LOTR parts that were missing paint from
them but didn't really pay too much attention to the SW parts. I remember
that they had a lot of partially printed ewok heads.
