| Is there a sort of limit on how these should be listed? The medium and thick
string is easy enough to untie from my experience, but when it comes to the thin
string
I have found it nearly impossible to untie this string from parts without damaging
the string.
So the question is what parts would be considered an acceptable counterpart?
There are some assemblies I imagine may not be counted as so, such as the drawbridge
string in Black Monarch's Castle (The string is tied to two pieces with various
pieces caught up in the middle) and the hook string in a few of the vintage pirate
ships (this is often strung through one of the mast segments)
I have noticed a few parts that have counterparts listed already, such as these
pieces:
One part that I think should be listed as a stringed counterpart would be this
one:

Unless I'm missing something, this set shares the same instruction booklet as set
and they both include x8 of these.

There are two strings that come with this set, a shorter string for the fishing pole and a longer one for the crane. Judging from the information in the above two links I believe these two lengths are correct for this set, however I do not own it new and have no further evidence of the length of the actual length of the two strings. If anyone owns this set new and could confirm, it would be appreciated.
|
I actually have the set ( ) but I got it when I was 4 or 5 years old and played
a lot with it at that time so I cannot guarantee that my parts are still original.
The short string has been replaced many years ago but I just checked the long
string as that seems to be original and it has a lengh of about 77cm.
|
Awesome! Thank for your help, I appreciate it. I received the set used recently
and both the fishing pole and the crane winch are missing, so here I am figuring
out the lengths hehe. I will get it back 100% 
I always wanted some of these diver sets when I was a kid, the one I had was
Shark Attack with the 3 sharks

Those lenghs on peeron are in studs, not in cm. 
The short string is shown in the instructions with a lengh of 20cm.
The long string is most likely
as this part has already been confirmed in several other Divers sets.

Oh no! My mistake, I will delete this request and submit a new one. Thank you
for pointing that out.

Recommend a longer line and trimming it to size(s). 200cm is currently cheaper
on BrickLink than the 150cm and 122cm lengths. Cheers
|
Thank you for the reply I really appreciate it! I will probably get the 200cm
for these 2 sets, thanks for mentioning it.

Set 6559 should have two strings (not one that needs to be cut).
See unboxing here:
https://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2128927
(and following images)
Peeron has lenghs for them: http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/6559-1

Thanks for this! I'm going to submit a request to add these strings in the
approximate length listed on peeron. Maybe someday it can be confirmed by someone
who owns it new

Well.....seems only -some- of the parts used that mild adhesive, a lot of the
ship is actually glued with something far more hardcore. I had to throw it out
I did manage to salvage a few parts out of it though, mostly the technic pieces
and dragon arms from the front and such. At least it wasn't a more valuable
set!

Thanks for all the tips I'll try cleaning it up soon with hot water first!

Anyone else who noticed this?

Not with that specific set, but I have noticed this suitcase part splits into
two pieces very easily, I have a bunch of them that are in two pieces, far more
than the ones that are still connected. I think most of my split in half ones
are black though.

Concerning this piece, the left side stickered variant is missing from the catalog,
and just happens to be some of the stickers I am missing. I was wondering if
anyone has this and can add it to the catalog, and if anyone has this piece for
sale?
I has two stickers applied to it, there are 5 stickers in all on these bionicle
wings in the set (x1 on the rear right, x2 on front right and x2 on the front
left)

It happens. Sellers can stoplist anyone for any reason. Don't take it personally.
Move on and take your business elsewhere

I won't, plenty of sellers on the site. It would be more of a bummer if the
website was smaller. Moving on!
