I would say they most certainly came from a LEGO store pick-a-brick. Or someone
who ordered them from LEGO direct for a custom project. LEGO produces the parts
to make sets in bulk. When the sets are retired/discontinued, the surplus parts
sometimes end up in the LEGO store PaB section. This has been the case with
certain CMF parts as well. I have also ended up with unique parts in large quantities
from bulk lots that were only minimally available via a certain set. And it
seems you got a very nice, very lucky score on this one. Congrats!

| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Delete 1 Part 92590 Dark Tan Minifig, Backpack Open
Comments from Submitter:
There should not be a Dark Tan Backpack in the regular set contents as currently listed, in addition to the one used for Minifig cty453. Per the instructions, there is only 1 Dark Tan Backpack included with the complete original set contents, which is used for cty453.

across uses the "Thin U" vertical clip variant. So I felt it was important to
correct the inventory as such. Hopefully the addition of the Alternate will
help this inventory be at peace with everyone. Other set owners are encouraged
to check their models and chime in!

My model is of the same type ("thin U") as the three copies you currently own.
I second your approach to make the commonly found variant the regular version
and the rarely found ones should be alternates only.
However, I am not supporting any inventory change based on such a low number
of examined sets - let (at least!) 20 set owners (better 40-50) comment here
and we begin to get a picture of variant distribution, but please do not
judge by the three copies you own (or four, including mine).
Or, as alternative: Provide some evidence supporting your belief.

Here is some supporting evidence:
1. My 3 Used copies were purchased from their original owners in Virginia, Colorado,
and California over a period of years. This is a good indicator that sets distributed
across the continental U.S.A. had the "Thin U" variant.
2. The only other appearance of in Medium Blue is in 2009 for the Grand
Carousel and Robo Champ sets. The Beetle was released the prior year in 2008...
3. The Inventory of does not have in Medium Blue listed
as an Alternate. Is that not suspicious?
4. The Inventory of [G=3835] has 4085b (thin U) listed as the Main, with 4085d
(Open O) listed as the Alternate.
5. The last and only appearance of 4085b (thin U) was 2 years later, when it
appeared as an Alternate in . These were most likely "at the bottom
of the bin" as Eric so eloquently put it.
Meanwhile, I encourage all Forum readers with an accessible copy of this set
to check their clip variants and report. Thanks in advance. I am open to being
proven wrong
