| I wonder if the socks are located in the clothing areas of Walmart (men's/women's/children's).
I also wonder if there really IS a Lego dinosaur or if they just show that dinosaur
to get people's attention for the socks.

| Early this morning, out doing some shopping, and spied this LEGO endcap at WalMart.
On the side was a dino and images of LEGO socks. They were not in the endcap,
nor on the LEGO aisle. Has anyone seen these in stores ? Youth or Adult sizes
? I don't see these in the Catalog.

| I'm hoping someone with Dacta catalogs from the mid(?) 1990's (perhaps
1993 - 1997) can help.
I recently acquired a somewhat obscure Control Lab set:
which I am in the process of creating the catalog inventory for. There don't
appear to be any references to this set of most of the other standard sites (e,g,
brickset, peeron) and the only image I could find of this set was at http://www.miniland.nl/Dacta/sets/2001187.htm.
The set in question is the set in the yellow case at the rear of the photo.
Via the wayback machine, I've had a trawl through LEGO's various sites
and have had no joy in finding any image for this set. Based on what I have found,
my presumption is that this set would have been listed in a Dacta catalog from
sometime in the mid-1990s - it may be that this set only was for sale in the
UK/Europe, although that is speculation on my behalf.
I was wondering whether anybody with Dacta catalogs from the mid-1990's would
be willing to take a look through their catalogs to see if they can find an image
for the set. My photo skills are "lacking" and if an image for the set is available
in a catalog, it will likely be better than any photo I add. If you do find an
image for the set, would you please submit it as the image for this set. I'd
also appreciate it if you would send me a copy of the image too please, as I
would like to be able to add this set to rebrickable.com.
Thank you and regards,
David

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.
|
Thanks! Yes the fat cross is the big question. But anyway you can see how difficult
it is to find out what is original and what isn't...and this is a bit worrying.
I started the whole post because I am reselling the parts and I want to be sure
that I sell original parts, especially because these parts fetch a large premium.
And of course the idea of paying 90 Euro for 10 axles that maybe can be bought
from Ali for 2 Euro all 10... free postage..If this is the case I don't blame
the seller directly, because there may be more chains in the selling process..but
if it are really fake parts someone is making a giant profit...

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.
