  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?

* Do they have similar clutch power to the other axles? This is the first thing
to test. If not, might be an indication that they are indeed fake.
* Newer 32L axles should have ©LEGO and a mould number on them - at one of the
ends. NO mould pip at the (other) end.
* No idea if this also concerns axles, but recently we have been finding a scary
amount of pieces to be manufactured from that new bio-plastic crap. Does the
surface of those axles feel the same, and do they sound the same?

Thanks! The white 32 clearly has LEGO, the yellow one doesn't have it. The
material is the same. Clutch power not tested yet. So the question is: Do all
original 32 axles have the LEGO sign. Main difference is the cross the 32 had
slightly undeeper grooves and the cross is between 0,50- 1 mm thicker.

Mine don't have the lego sign. Although they are not as fat looking as yours.
Mine are from 2013 #60004.

Hi

I now also note that the white original LEGO axle has a flat somewhat lower recktangle
place with a dot in the middle on both sides of the end of the axle. The yellow
doesn't have this. But it could be another mold?

  I have a couple of used, genuine of the 32 long axles.

They do not have dimples on the ends, they are flat ends. They also appear slightly
lighter than flat yellow parts but this might be an effect of the way light bounces
off them as they are a much smaller flat surface area compared to a tile for
example.

I sure won't win the photo competition and I hope it is clear.

Left: shorter yellow axle. Middle: the yellow 32 axle. Right: the white 32 axle.

Although the photo is not the best you can see that the yellow 32 has not ther
sharp cross the other axles have.

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.

  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
inside of the bag or get caught in a corner.

My Martian did not come with the cloth piece. Did this happen to anyone else?

The tool depicted in that graph was me.

Obviously a pretty sharp tool.

  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).
 
Part No: 271pb05  Name: HO Scale, Accessory Policeman One Hand Left
* 
271pb05 HO Scale, Accessory Policeman One Hand Left
Parts: HO 1:87 Vehicles
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.

  Hi


  Please can you add a hollow stud version of 3626bpb0783. Thank you

This is a contributor task, not an admin task...

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogAdd.asp?utm_content=subnav

You can add the part yourself here:

https://www.bricklink.com/wantedCatalog.asp?catType=P

and then the image here:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=P

Then, the admins will review and approve it. Do you have a good image? I can
answer any questions if you run into problems.

has a note displaying what sets it is in, however the catalogue states it doesn't
show in any sets. I was thinking of adding them as alternates to the sets but
thought I should get others opinions first. Should I add it as an Alternate,
Counterpart, Regular or Extra?

They are already in the inventory, as regular and extra parts. This is similar
to other parts that come in card boxes to protect them.

  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 got it in a bundle of parts from eBay.

WOW!

Are misprints even worth anything on top of the original value? I know some people
like to collect them.

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.

  Very collectable from what i've seen and most if not all have higher values
because of it, i don't collect them specifically but we've had a few
come through our way and i have them all bagged in a draw, like my little treasure
box, my fave so far is Theoden's armour, the printing is on the back instead
of the front, always nice to get something a little more quirky.

I'm not a huge SW fan so I don't think I'll keep it, I think there
are others who will treasure it more than me!

There’s a group on Facebook that specialises in misprinted minifigs if you’re
looking to sell it.

Could you provide a link or name of that group please? Thanks

  Hi all,

I recently came across this Jar Jar Binks head (pictured on the right) and I
can't seem to identify it on BL. It is not like any of the three variants
of the mold. I think it could be misprint of 92743pb03 (which is pictured on
the left).

If I am horribly wrong please point me in the right direction! My Star Wars knowledge
is not the best!

Thanks
