This request will not be accepted as the inventory is correct concerning this

One is used on Page 8, Step 2, and the other is used on Page 31, Step 27 in the

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1046
Co-branded items are items that have another brand name, logo, or trade dress
on the box, in the set contents, or in the set name.
Cheating? Maybe a little, but Toys "R" Us is in BrickLink's set name.
There are additional guidelines on that page that would tend to prohibit this
type of co-branding, but they've been loosely followed going way back:

Technically, shouldn't the set name be in curly brackets since it is not
an official name?

These sets contain 16 tiles, 14 of which are random. Shouldn't the random
ones have been blurred out so as not to mislead buyers.
|
As they're official LEGO images, I don't think it's inappropriate
to use them (and is similar to what is shown on DOTS as there is some randomness
there too), but we should definitely have a note on all VIDIYO Bandmates and
Beat Boxes stating that there are the 1/2 exclusive tiles, and all others are
random. Without the warning we will definitely have issues with buyers not understanding
why it doesn't match.
|
The ones that are random could be blurred once the submitter has checked inventory
to avoid confusion. One of the things often said here is you get what is in the
image. That is no longer the case.

We do not change official LEGO images that are used to show the sets. The set
inventories will contain information about the randomness of the tiles.

| There is not really any good data to go on in regards to this. The original inventories
for the set and the minifigure that contains this helmet do not have sources
listed and I don't have any solid images to go on, so I feel that we can
only look at what is available. And that is the instructions.
Since the instructions show a type of 193b and the image of the minifigure in
the BrickLink catalog also shows a type of 193b, I feel it is enough at this
time to substitute the 193au entry in the inventory of
with 193bu.
Therefore, this request will not be accepted, but the minifigure inventory will
be adjusted to better align with the image of the figure and instructions.

| | Well, I got my hands on an instruction of set 1496. In those pictures it is clearly
the black helmet 193b1 (Thick Chin Strap - without Visor Dimples). Not that instructions
allways are telling the right story, but I think it is good to add the 193bu
as a counterpart. In that case any black helmet 193au or 193bu will fit this
set. Anyone agrees with me?

Comments from Submitter:
I am wondering or the black 193au (193a1 and 193a2) are the right one. Pictures
on the web are not conclusive. Black helmet 193a1 does not excist and black helmet
193a2 is from 1978 till 1986, as set 1496 is from 1987.
Maybe black 193au is not right. Maybe it is 193bu (193b1 and 193b2). It can not be 193b1, because this helmet is from 1984. So maybe it is the black 193b2? It fits the timeline (1978-1987) with the set 1496 from 1987.

I’m actually at this time against any further "new" features on BL - the
list of things which need to be sorted grows by the day and I think as customers
we have enough experience to say now that any new feature comes with so many
problems that you are better off aborting when the idea is still gestating

Comments from Submitter:
Hello,
I think I have stumbled over a problem regarding the Yellow Brick 1 x 4 with Red Danger Stripes on Printed White Background Pattern, mold number 3010p15.
Actually, there are two separate patterns for this brick but one is not recognized by Bricklink catalog. The error affects to my understanding sets 6329, 6422 while in set 6565 the correct pattern appears. This can easily be verified by looking at the the official photos of the sets as also provided by Bricklink. Please, count the number of red stripes or check the color of the pattern in the corners! So a new piece has to be introduced into the catalog and sets with the corresponding numbers should be checked.
In the sets 9287, 4222 and 1106 the brick is also present but I am not completely sure which pattern is there to be found.
Hope this small error can be clarified or removed from the catalog.
Have a nice day
PZ
