I someone can confirm that the old variant came in this set, feel free to add it as an alternate. My set came with this new mold, and BL hans't identified it until now.

The old mold is visible here, isn't it?

That looks like the old pin hole (new one is smaller).
Will you fix the request or do I need to redo it?

Yes, 44865 is a very new mold, so I would expect to see it only sets produced
in very late 2020 into 2021.

I personally tested it quite a bit when Instant Checkout was released, and it
works very well. You will need to make sure you have accurate dimensions for
the parts in your store, and you will need to make small adjustments to the process

When I put items in my cart and then go to checkout to test it I get the message
"Unable to buy from yourself

It doesn't show me any shipping options.

| To my eye it's COOL SILVER (id 296), but better, left out that _pearl effect_
with which it was made years ago. At that time, a Cool Silver part was right
in the middle between LBG and VeryLBG.
OK This is the 4th case since January.
Who know, maybe they liked it in the factory =)
I'd get one for my collection indeed.
I'd like this serempiditous error makes it into *real* production.
Can we can legally start a new name for that nice gray?

| | Yes, it would be allowed. The system would lay the brick down on its side to
fit in the package.
|
One of the presumptions inherent in the current volume-based calculation method
is that items are rectangular. Bricks are, generally speaking, rectangular, but
many LEGO parts are not. For the non-rectangular parts, which are volume-based
but entered as an imaginary rectangular bounding box, this can result in an over-shoot
in calculating volume required. That over-shoot can/will propagate into selecting
the correct (or best-fit) packaging.
Obviously, purchasing a single quantity of a non-rectangular item will (very
likely) require rectangular packaging. In which case the system works as intended.
Where things drift away from optimal is when there are multiples of a non-rectangular
item and/or multiple lots. That is very easy to achieve with some of the large
figure parts (hockey, Hero Factory, etc).
inserting blue sky suggestion here
As a down the road way of solving this, is to both have a dimensional
entry for a single quantity, and a dimensional for a standard multiple (e.g.
10). That would allow the system to flesh out the clumping factor of a
given part, and assist in calculating the proper volume needed for a given quantity
of that part.
It may be necessary to have a standard cube volume, then answer the question
How many will fit inside that cube ? Same principle, but attacking it
from the other side of the equation.
This isn't the most ideal path, but it gets us closer to the desired result.

It's just a slight color variation within light gray. Very light bluish gray
is almost white; from the picture those do not look to be that color at all.

You should compare this brick with a very light bluish gray part like one of
the Knights Kingdom shields.
This part isn’t meant to be very light bluish gray, it might be a color issue
like less color in the mix.
LBG, reddish brown and also other parts have quite some color variations.
So before calling it rare be sure it is.
Rare seems to be a very much abused words nowadays, maybe in this case it isn’t
but you need to be sure.

Thanks for the quick reply!
How do dimension limits work on instant checkout? I haven't been able to
find any documentation. There is no way for me to test it, so I simply didn't
use it.

| | There is a help page for "Store Shipping Methods" however it seems to be out
of date. I think it shows the shipping settings screens from before IC was implemented.
There is a help page under "Instant Checkout" "Advanced Options" that shows an
example of package restictions:
Orders can't be shipped with this method when order package exceeds any of
these conditions or when an item in the order has been flagged with manual packaging
type by the seller.
Max dimension
15 in (w) x 12 in (h) x 0.75 in (d)
It states that it is flagged if "order package" is too big. I don't know
what the size of the order package is, or how it is calculated. Does that mean
if any of the individual elements is too big?
|
Items that are Weight Bound are measured as a liquid. Larger items should be
Volume Bound and these are virtually stacked inside your order package as 3 dimensional
rectangles.
| | Are we supposed to enter the limits in inches? Even though the packaging dimensions
are in cm?
|
Yes. I believe for different postal systems, the measurement units are different.
| | Would a 1x1x5 Brick be allowed under this example?
It has dimensions 0.8 x 0.8 x 4.8 cm.
4.8 cm 0.75 in so it seems to be it would not be allowed, unless the system
is doing something behind the scenes to re-organize the dimensions and can see
that
4.8 cm
0.8 cm
0.8 cm
|
Yes, it would be allowed. The system would lay the brick down on its side to
fit in the package.
