Funny enough, I found a couple of sticker sheets for Superman the other day.

But it's a shame that I have used all the parts for something else now.

I'm still waiting to add an inventory for Batman and Robin and a few others.
My instructuons for that Batman and Robin model has unfortunatly gotten a bit
damaged, but the parts are still sealed in the container, thank goodness.

From the to-do list:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476

Add Sets Members Want - A project to discuss and possibly add pickable
models, in-store builds, and other similar sets to the catalog...
Project Review: This project traveled directly from under consideration to completed.
There were no existing guidelines discussing these kinds of sets, so no policy
changes were required. Instead, after administrative discussion, the majority
were in agreement to rescind the unwritten rule that prohibited addition of these
sets.
Date first added: December 6th, 2018
Date work began: June 13th, 2020
Goal for completion: July 1st, 2020
Date actually completed: June 17th, 2020
Suggested by: Many members

Maybe this is not so complete as catmins would like to believe it is as it appears
that none of those sets are in the catalogue at this time.
Also:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1204676
seems to be voided now.

So perhaps this project should be set to under consideration again just so the
ball is not dropped and the technical issues, whatever those may be, can be addressed
before the goal date. I would dearly like to believe that BL will eventually
give members what they want.

Funny enough, I found a couple of sticker sheets for Superman the other day.

Re: Number bricks: which is which

Viewed:

Topic:

To come back on the serif numbered bricks (3005pt{number}s) the variations in
print are due to the material (CA, ABS) and the mold pip (edge, side):

1. CA with old logo and edge mold pip (around 1958-1963). Old logo is wide straight.
2. ABS with old logo and edge mold pip (around 1963-1968). Old logo is wide round.
3. ABS with modern logo and side mold pip (around 1968-......)

See pictures.

This also explains the variantion in the print, which are in all the 3 cases
embossed. The 3005pt{number} is also embossed and the 3005pt{number}b has a surface
print.

In Catalog Identification, primadeluxe writes:

Within the serif numbered bricks (3005pt{number}s) I found also some difference
in the print. See picture. For example number 6: right in the picture has an
old logo on the stud and the two on the left have modern and old logo on the
stud, but I think this are just variations.

So maybe a reshuffle of the images, variantions and sets appearing is in order.
Also looking at set 237, because the bold numbered bricks could not be a alternate
for this set. The bold numbers all have a modern logo (1968) and yet in 1966
the set 237 (1960) was replaced by set 437. So the bold numbered bricks could
be a alternate for set 437, but not for set 237.

In Help, primadeluxe writes:

I think the serif number bricks (3005pt{number}s) should be appear in the 3 sets
487, 437 and 237 and not the ones which are know appearing (3005pt{number}).
Looking at the pictures of these sets, it would make sence, also because the
serif bricks have both the modern logo (appears in 1968) and old logo (appears
in 1958) on the studs.

The number bricks of my picture only have the modern logo on the stud and from
which sets they are I do not know. I have looked at a lot of pictures of sets
with numbered bricks, but did not find one with the bricks on my picture. So
they could easely be the 3005pt{number} bricks.

Greetings Edwin

3005pt9b Brick 1 x 1 with Blue Number 9 Pattern (Bold Font)
Parts: Brick, Decorated

is the bold font (NL: 'vetgedrukt' ) as in the left in your
picture,

3005pt9s Brick 1 x 1 with Blue Number 9 Pattern (Serif Font)
Parts: Brick, Decorated

is the serif font (NL: 'met schreef' ) as in the right in
your picture.

3005pt9 Brick 1 x 1 with Blue Number 9 Pattern
Parts: Brick, Decorated

is neither bold nor with serif, so must be the middle one in your
picture. It's image is a render, not a photo. This may explain why it looks
differently. Looking at the part numbering, it may have originally been intended
as the non-distinguished variety, but seeing your picture, it must be the plain
(thin) variety.
Can you upload your image as an additional image for these parts? I think it
is enlightening to see the bricks side by side for comparison.

* Add 1 Part 3188a Red Door 1 x 3 x 2 Right with Thin Handle (Alternate)

Comments from Submitter:
I am not sure if this set just came with these doors with thin handles, as the set has at least been issued twice (one with FTPine and one with GTPine). That is why I submit the doors with thin handles as a alternate, because these are in the set I bought as a child. Or was it a birthdaypresent? Hahaha!

Just like the other sets that have had the doors replaced, there is a very strong
possibility that this set never had the thick-handled doors.

Instead of adding these doors as alternates, I am going to put them in the Regular
Items section since they chronologically came before the doors with thick handles.
I am also going to remove the thick-handled doors from the inventory. If someone
can later prove that this set ever came with thick-handled doors, then those
can be readded as alternates to the thin-handled versions.

Cheers,
Randy

I built this set brand new from LEGO.com I double checked my extra parts and compared between Bricklink and Rebrickable.

I watched a real-time build of the entire set, and all of the extras listed in
the inventory on BrickLink were correct except for the four changes that you
have outlined here.

Requests accepted.

If I understand you correctly, you can accomplish this by going into your Wanted
List and click on "Apply Order" on the top right. It will then give you a list
of your most recent orders and you can select whichever order applies to that
Wanted List. The amounts purchased will then appear in the "have" amount under
the wanted amount for each item.

Hope this helps.

Beware with this feature: you can apply the same order multiple times, even to

So an ordered part will be counted multiple times.

Also, do not take for granted that an ordered part will be in the package or
that you’ll receive the package. Most of the time, the part will be there and
the package will arrive, but there might be errors, missing parts, wrong colours….

I would like the wanted list(s) to be automatically updated when i purchase certain

It would really save me a lot of time not having to figure out which items to

I'm amazed that, despite the head being rotated, it's actualy printed
level. That's gotta be a misprint!

It is interesting that all the colours are aligned correctly on an unaligned
part, so they must be doing "wet-on-wet" printing - printing one colour directly
after another without moving the part.

Follow-up from:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1207021

Peeron has the the earliest version, in which we can see white

6540a Technic, Steering Arm Large with Wheel Hub Holder - Pin Connection
Parts: Technic, Steering {White}

and light gray

6628 Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges and Tow Ball (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Technic, Pin {Black}

I do have another version with ID 120530, that has extra pages 16-17.
On the insturctions page 16-17, there are white

6540b Technic, Steering Arm Large with Wheel Hub Holder - Axle Connection
Parts: Technic, Steering {Light Gray}

and light gray

2736 Technic, Axle 1L with Tow Ball
Parts: Technic, Axle {Light Gray}

and on the extra pages 16-17, there are light gray

6540b Technic, Steering Arm Large with Wheel Hub Holder - Axle Connection
Parts: Technic, Steering {Light Gray}

and black

2736 Technic, Axle 1L with Tow Ball
Parts: Technic, Axle {Black}

Question: in what set and which version of insturctions, light gray

6540a Technic, Steering Arm Large with Wheel Hub Holder - Pin Connection
Parts: Technic, Steering {White}

is used?!

Answer: set

8444-1 (Inv) Jet Wasp
309 Parts, 1999
Sets: Technic: Model: Airport

So TLG did a back and forth 6540a-6540b-6540a

Questions 2: Is there any difference between white 6540a (from 1994) and light
gray 6540a (from 1999)?

****************
There are 20 of black

6558 Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges
Parts: Technic, Pin {Black}

used on both versions as follows:
2 page 12 step 14
2 page 20 step 21

Almost certainly a misprint but something that I think will be worth something
to the right person as its set at a nice rotating angle and whilst you can always
set heads at a full 90 degrees where its facing out from the side that angle
always looks a bit forced. I think someone would appreciate something like that
for a display scene compared with always having their astromech droids facing
forwards the whole time

In fact rather than re-releasing almost identical R2-D2's it would be a nice
touch if Lego intentionally made some like this to give a bit more variation
to what is otherwise a difficult minifigure to make look unique when compared
with other minifig characters.

I have lots of those heads and they look to all be facing forwards from what
I can tell

Of course with it being a relatively new set there is always the possibility
that someone doing the set inventory assumed it was the same version as what
appears in the other sets but given the Lego site has images of this minifig
facing forwards I can't imaging it to be an intentional difference?
