  I got 2 sticker sets (75930stk01) in set 75930-1.
Anyone else experience this?

It's not unheard of to get a duplicate sticker sheet in a set here or there.
It has happened to me two or three times. I just consider myself lucky when I
get one!

Cheers,
Randy

Appears to be the approved version, it's missing the bottom print, but has
the registered mark and the 6+.

  Hello Everyone,

In June of last year, we introduced a new Wanted List upgrade. This upgrade came
with a newly-designed buying experience which focused on the necessity to compare
and plan out multiple carts at once, as well as make it easier to manage multiple
lists.

Since BrickLink's Wanted List is a core feature for most users, we currently
provide the classic version for members to use as a backup in case there are
glitches with the new version. This is intended to be a temporary solution.

The classic version of the Wanted List feature will become unavailable on
June 5, 2017.
At this point, we have ensured that the new version of the
Wanted List covers all desired functionality (plus more) from the classic version.
If you have any issues with the new version, please let us know as soon as possible.

Thank you for the continued support, bug reports, and helpful feedback as we
continue to roll out important changes.

Sincerely,

Jaclyn
BrickLink Customer Support

I hope you never remove the Classic Buy feature! Since the new one does not work
it is the only option for me to buy anything at all! In the new feature I see
no shops at all when I choose my wanted lists.

But I want to thank you for a super site!
Best Regards
Tobias Johansson

Sorry to disturb this post.
but I don't understand something:

On this link (unboxing of 8714) you can see the minifigs are pre-build (or mounted?).
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=268806

The helmets are not on the minifigs.
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Rober-to/Technic/8714/8714b.jpg
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Rober-to/Technic/8714/8714a.jpg

Same for set 8640:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=285129
or set 8620:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=490149

Yes, the figures always came fully assembled. In other words, they were not meant
to be taken apart. However, people here have asked for the ability to sell individual
parts from these figures because they *can* be taken apart to some extent.

The catalog admins changed their policies to allow the individual parts from
these figures to be added to the catalog. The inventory admins need to now determine
how to handle these figures. I think it is necessary to go in the direction of
inventorying these figures with individual parts if the parts are to be added
to the catalog. Otherwise, there will be more orphaned parts in the catalog,
and the new admin team is trying to move away from items in the catalog that
are orphaned (not attached to any inventories).

Although these Technic figures will have an inventory attached to them once individual
parts become available, the main set inventories that include these figures will
always show them as coming fully assembled. Determining whether they are in the
set with or without helmet is left to the set instructions just like all other
figures in the catalog.

Cheers,
Randy

Thanks you very much for your answer.
I own some of these figures, I will try to add figures parts to the catalog

That would be excellent! Thanks for the help!

Cheers,
Randy

  As previously discussed for another set, it's my belief that the 2L hoses are PLG, not
flat silver. They seem to have the same color as the bionicle teeth which are PLG in
this set. But a change of this is likely to be rejected, I'll not do it here but only
leave my thoughts on it.

Why would you say it would be rejected? I would be more than happy to look into
this before making any determination.

Could you post a picture of the hoses from this set next to the Bionicle teeth
from this set? I may not be considered one of the resident color experts, but
I do know my LEGO colors quite well. In the meantime, I will search the intertubes
for other data points.

Cheers,
Randy

Because the last time I discussed this regarding the color of hoses, we never
came to an agreeement. The admin would rather base the BL inventory on an official
TLG product photo than on actually bricks found in a lot of bricks where the
hoses could only have come from the particular set in question (matching both
length and "twistedness"). One of the last things that were written were "Further,
there is some debate over whether PLG and flat silver are officially different
colors or merely variations in what TLG intended to be the same color." So I
chose to stop the discussion there rather than wasting everybody's time.
Here's a link to the discussion:

https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=234514

I would never base any decisions on official set photos. They are notorious for
being wrong in many instances.

  Anyway, I have to withdraw my claim in this thread, because I just compared with
Flat Silver hoses in my stock and PLG hoses from set 8637 (I still claim that
these are PLG) and the two hoses from this are definitely Flat Silver, not PLG.
So no change there, please.

No problem. However, I did find evidence from many unboxings of this set that
the hoses - in this set, at least - could be either the lighter PLG or the darker
Flat Silver.

Cheers,
Randy

  No, not difficult to implement; just slightly difficult to get the right minifigs
into the catalog quickly. For now, I will add an inventory note to the set stating
that the other two figures should be without helmets, and I will see if I can
get some cheap figures for the fixes.

Sorry to disturb this post.
but I don't understand something:

On this link (unboxing of 8714) you can see the minifigs are pre-build (or mounted?).

The helmets are not on the minifigs.

Same for set 8640:

or set 8620:

Yes, the figures always came fully assembled. In other words, they were not meant
to be taken apart. However, people here have asked for the ability to sell individual
parts from these figures because they *can* be taken apart to some extent.

The catalog admins changed their policies to allow the individual parts from
these figures to be added to the catalog. The inventory admins need to now determine
how to handle these figures. I think it is necessary to go in the direction of
inventorying these figures with individual parts if the parts are to be added
to the catalog. Otherwise, there will be more orphaned parts in the catalog,
and the new admin team is trying to move away from items in the catalog that
are orphaned (not attached to any inventories).

Although these Technic figures will have an inventory attached to them once individual
parts become available, the main set inventories that include these figures will
always show them as coming fully assembled. Determining whether they are in the
set with or without helmet is left to the set instructions just like all other
figures in the catalog.

Randy
