Yes. The “Bluish” aren’t bluish, they are really grey. They only appear bluer
than the old greys because those were actually yellowish. But they already had
a name and people were used to their names and tints, so the newer ones were
named “Bluish.”

What about a new category: “Technic, Brick, Modified”?
This would include Parts (49699) and (30528), along with (2991), (2991b), (2989),
(85943), (18975), (92715), and (61185c01).

Actually, Part (61185c01) should be moved to “Projectile Launcher”: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?searchMethod=searchBoth&q=&itemBrand=1000&catType=&itemYear=&catID=992&catLike=W

Depends, what do you have? 
If it’s post-2005, it’s DBG.
If it’s pre-2004, it’s DG.
In between, well, the Big Colour Shift happened in 2004 but LEGO used their stocks
for a while 
You can also check the inventories of your sets. If both greys were used for
a set, it’s generally noted in the inventory (Alternates section).
Also some parts exist only, or are much more frequent, in one dark grey.

| The first is folks sending messages directly to my PayPal and BrickLink notifications
email address. Which I don’t check on a regular basis.
Wouldn’t it be better all round if the user email address were hidden? therefore
emails would have to go thru the message system.
Leads to the second. BrickLink notifications are often delayed by two or three
days, then they all come thru together. Which is why I don’t check that mail
box often. Fairly frequently I receive the order placed notification AFTER I
have shipped the order!
I check messages on site, every morning when I first log on.
Also would benefit BrickLink as it would be far more difficult to trade off site,
if anyone were so inclined.
Please give this some consideration, it works well on the other place.
Thanks, Graham

I don't know specifically about these but it looks the same as the attached
pic from set 9833
The US/Canada listing on BL shows a different design (although it is the same
spec)
But yours does look like the UK version of 9833 but I assume yours has the US/Canada
pins
Could just be an updated design?

Brickowl has it as: Parts/Uncategorized
So they don't know where to put it either.

Pulled out an original set in box

Checking numerous sources from sealed set contents, I don't think this set
ever came with the older version of this clip. Therefore, I am going to remove
the old version completely and replace it with the version you have submitted
here.

My first thought is technic or window frame
|
Well:
1. Window (or door) frame implies you could put a glass or panel (or door)
inside. That seems very unlikely with the technic holes in the way.
2. It’s been used in System (City) sets for now BUT it sure looks like a Technic
Brick, yet not really.
So Technic could do but not really “Technic Brick” and there are no similar parts
(that I know of) in the other Technic categories, that would mean it should fall
in the general “Technic” category, which is already overpopulated.
I’m not envying the catmins
|
Yep certainly a tough one. It's very clear what it is: A hatch. But how to
catalog it in the existing categories?
I'm voting Door Frame. Alternatively, Vehicle. It may be used in space bases,
but the whole point of hatches is that things are built up from compartments
that have been vehicles at some point.
Hmm, anyone remember the days when we had a "Space" category?
|
Funny this one - Lego put it into their Bricks, Special category where most of
the modified bricks go. It does look a bit technic Panel, though.
|
Really do wish we could edit messages. Forgot to say technic bricks are also
in the Bricks, special Lego category - so technic panel could be the right answer????
