| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Delete 3 Part 4073 Trans-Yellow Plate, Round 1 x 1
* Add 2 Part 4073c01 Trans-Yellow Plate, Round 1 x 1, 2 on Sprue
Comments from Submitter:
I have a mint used copy. I would say the set was built only once. The bags are still at the bottom of the box and inside one bag, there are twi sprues. Three
are separated from sprues and used for the main model but one is still attached to one sprue.
May have photos of a new copy in my old computer but cannot check it for now.

I therefore assume the printing is close to Metallic Gold.

Patient, Maheedhar. Maybe work on adding other inventory?
Or spend the wait time learning to add new set inventories yourself. There are

Let's just say that I wanted one, I ended up with two, and I had to bid on
a lot of twenty-five to get the two. The others all found homes with local individuals,
and I made a little money on the transaction. The really hard part was figuring
out what oil to put into the damping cylinder. Seems I used 30-weight, because
no one could tell me what I was supposed to use. All the old oil had been taken
out when they were removed from service.

| | 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.

I am not sure if this is intentional or a color error at the manufacturing plant,
but these bricks are lighter than the standard light blue gray.
This brick sells for $5 a piece for some reason in the color very light blue
gray. The current set inventory on here does not reflect the lighter color.

See this discussion from a couple of days ago about the same color issue: https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=287603

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.

You can test it by putting things in a cart and trying to go through checkout.
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
at first.

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.

I'll see you ancient balance scale, and raise you a couple of USPS built

I'm jealous, that is an awesome scale.

There are many official set images and box images that show things that were
never included in the sets, but our guideline is to *not* alter official set
images or box images. However, we can change the figure image. There just happens
to be another image attached to that figure that shows the correct hair, so we
will just remove the image with dark orange hair. The image for the figure with
cape is already correct, also.

This minifig lives on my desk. Is a new picture of him wanted?
