| So basically I found this guy selling 200+ regular 501st troopers for $5 which
is suspicious. Quickly, all the stock is bought out I bought 52 from him for
$290 total because shipping and sales tax, and I ask him when he would ship,
he said in 2-3 days, then he closed down the store and the store message says
"refunding buyers". Seems like other buyers had an issue same as me.
There was also a negative review saying there was no refund and the seller ghosted.
He also had other suspiciously cheap items like 10 (sealed) (complete) 2022 AT-TEs
for $90 each which were like $140 retail maybe $120 on discount at best so this
makes no sense. Also a ton of complete 2023 501st battle packs for only $10 which
isn't possible, even on discount it's still $12, and $15 retail. I ask
him how the ATTEs are so cheap and that I want to buy some, no response, store
closed.
Should I file for a refund with PayPal before this guy gets away? Is there
a guarantee that PayPal can refund me if this is a scam or what if he closes
his bricklink account and closes PayPal and just disappears what am I supposed
to do?

Looking on the images of the bucket, specifically the inventory, it looks as if the 2x4 brick with pins should be dark gray, not light gray. As well as every other similar bucket set I own uses dark gray, and not light gray. I own 3 buckets of this set, I can email pictures if requested.

I agree.
The image of the part on the package is definitely darker than the light gray
image of
Secondly, the LEGO replacement parts data for this set specifically has this
part listed in dark gray.
And even though the Peeron inventory is from source "Instructions" (which
I would take to mean the parts list on the box), they have the part listed in
dark gray, also.

I think you are correct here. But just to be sure, I ordered a new set to confirm.
If the visor color is different, we will need to have a completely new minifigure
entry instead of changing the inventory of the current one. Unfortunately, the
current one has been in the catalog for far too long for a change such as this.

These parts are used in alternate models only. Similar situation can be seen
in where parts also used in alternate models only are already assigned
as regular
|
You are absolutely correct. Any parts that are always included in the set and
meant to be used in the main build or alternate builds should always be in the
Regular Items section of the inventory.
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562
According to the set packaging, this set contains 38 pieces. If I look at the
LEGO replacement parts data, all of the above pieces should not be extras. That
means they are all meant to be used in the alternate builds.
These requests have all been accepted, and the BrickLink inventory now has 38
pieces in it as well.

Interesting. After another quick look at the inventory I think that there should
be 2 of instead of 3, but I don't know if it's an extra
part or not

That is one of them, but there are more.
Since I didn't have this set and I think it is pretty neat, I have bought
a new one to go through for inventory confirmation purposes. I should have it
within a week and be able to correct the rest of the inventory.

"Decorated" parts include both stickered and printed parts.

All this confusion. I propose the following:

Stickered part: Means any part with a sticker on it.
Fortunately we already have "Sticker over Assembly" covered.
This usage of the terminology interchangeably just confuses my brain and Nubs's

Hopefully someone will see reason and distinguish between stickers and printed

In the catalog, "decorated" means that something has a pattern. This
pattern can be printed, it can come from a sticker, or it can come from the molding
process itself (dual-molded parts, marbled parts, etc.)
So, it is pretty easy to comprehend if you get your information from the right
place.

This request will not be accepted.
As stated by another member, this set was redesigned during production. This
is mentioned in the inventory note at the bottom of the inventory page.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=75072-1
Basically, everything that has a Match ID 99 in the Regular Items section (the
earlier version of the set) was swapped out for everything that has a Match ID
99 in the Alternate Items section (the later version of the set).
It looks like you have the later version of the set, so you should use the quantities
of parts listed in the Alternate Items section to check your set against.

Since this set was released fairly recently, it still doesn't have an inventory
on BrickLink, so there's no entry for the sticker sheet in the catalog. Since
you own a copy of the set, you could submit an inventory for it yourself.
You could also simply buy another copy of the set.

First of all, it does already have an inventory on BrickLink.

Just acquired 2 older sets that are semi-sealed. By that I mean that due to age,
the clear, roundish lego sealing tape (on the sides) has pulled away from one
side (on both sets).
Because of this, you can actually get into the boxes, but everything inside is
sealed/new.
Also, there is a number printed on the clear lego tape...anyone know what that
number means?

It is a manufacturing code. The first two numbers are the week it was made, the
third digit is a plant code, and the last digit is the year it was made. So if
your set was made in the 18th week of 2002 in the plant with code "R",
the code would read 18R2.

Yes, it is extremely common.

Hello Diana,
I did immediately what you asked for. I have 10 unapproved submissions to the
catalog. These are rather straightforward entries. I'd be happy to add more,
but I don't think there's any sense in that. I added them to help the

nothing has changed.

Books are lower priority than new sets, new minifigures, and new parts, and we
always have a ton of those these days. When we get small lulls in the main LEGO

will try to squeeze in your submissions in the next couple of days.

"baseplates" with Technic holes at the ends to make a modular setup
These 16x16 thingies, mostly used in mosaic sets, are pretty close to that so
I've bought some for testing
Since they're invisible (I will put a layer of tan plates on top so the colour

Ok—I’ll say hi here

it was years ago when the full triangle of this minifigure helmet was misprinted
into many sets but never got it’s separate variant entry. It was I and a couple
others that tried to get this accomplished but without success. At present Sw0202
torso misprint was accepted really quick by the admins. Why? Just split the
sw0102 to add the variant correctly as sw0102a and sw0102b.

None of the current administrators were around for the old discussions or yet
understand the issue fully for sw0102. That is why we need the information.
We received all of the necessary information promptly when dealing with sw0202b,
and we were able to make a decision based on our collective prior experience
as an admin team dealing with similar scenarios (such as the Technic figure).
Once we feel like we have enough information, a decision will be made and acted

| Suggestion: Part 37494 Train Pantograph Shoe has no hinge component and is widely
used for other purposes outside of a train, and without a hinge around. It is
just bar connections all around. This part should be listed either under Bar
or otherwise under Train in the catalog (since its original purpose may have
been for electric trains).
Meanwhile, the old part 2881/2922 did have a hinge component and can be left
alone under hinge. If part 37494 moves to train in the inventory, however, I'd
argue 2881/2922 should join it there despite having a hinge component.
