Also, how do we go about numbering in such a case in general? 62575 is the LEGO
design number for the marbled version, 23714 for the plain version. Is the former
really seen as an assembly (cx1)?
I would suggest 62575cx1 renumbered to 23714pb01 and 62575 listed as an alternative
number. Before making such a request, I'd like to be sure about any differences
and guide lines.
And yes, Robert, I know the catalog team has different priorities right now,
but this one just came up and I wonder.

I have both of these. They look different in person. I don't have them in
front of me at the moment but one sits taller and one looks longer.
|
I am in favor of renaming the newer one (or maybe both) in a way that designates
that one is taller and one is longer.

What I meant to say was that the part comes as one complete unit in the sets
directly from LEGO and is counted as one part by LEGO. There is no need to assemble
it, and it is not meant to be disassembled. I was rushing through messages before,
so I didn't explain it well enough.
Cheers,

That makes sense. I did have a strong suspicion that the parts came pre-assembled
in sets, since that chassis is a juniorized part (for young kids), and the precise
force that would be required to put the 2X2 modified plates on the underside
looked like something that would take adult level effort.
Thanks,
David

Good find! It looks like bag #2 comes with the red chassis that already has
the red 2X2 plates with small pins attached.
Thanks,

The whole vehicle base is one part. Nothing on it is meant to come off.

Sure?
LDraw has the part (11650.dat) without the plates with wheel pins and the part
with the plates exist in two versions: 12622.dat in one colour and 12622p01.dat
with LBG plates.
Are those some sort of rivets?
Or do they use a special technique to connect the plates?
| | | | I feel like the axles are going to snap off of the 2X2 plates if I pull any herder

end like the chassis piece has. It seems a bit like those Bionicle brains and
heads.

The pin that holds them on clips through and then can't be reversed - see
pic

That's the same as what I have, except in different colors. Do you know
if they come already assembled in the box? (The one I have is from a used lot.)
randyf, the part is definitely made up of 3 separate parts (1 of the main chassis,
and 2 of the modified 2X2 plates.) Each of the 3 parts has a molded part number

The neon colours glow under a black light (if you don't have a black light
and have never seen this then invest in one and be amazed!) but these don't,
which makes me wonder whether (a) the colour is listed wrong or (b) I bought
counterfeit Lego which doesn't have the neon qualities and is just a colour
match.
Does anybody elses glow under a black light?
|
Nope, the part does not fluoresce under UV light. But LEGO does list the color
as TRANSPARENT FLUORESCENT GREEN (which is Trans-Neon Green on BrickLink), so
the part is definitely classified correctly.
Cheers,
Randy

I have some of that part in trans-neon green, and I can concur that it does not
phosphoresce under UV light. To the naked eye, under normal light, however,
it does appear just like other trans-neon green parts. The difference must be
the plastic material those parts are made out of. It is a non-ABS slightly bendable
plastic.

| | I apologize for the quick lo-res pic, but I think a lot of people are familiar
with this piece. It's the sprue from [p=19807c01]. And it IS just a sprue.
But I was looking it over today before tossing it in the trash and it is a pretty
neat looking piece AND it was obviously designed with some play value, because
it fits on a stud. It has never been used in a set, I believe, but it is easy
for me to imagine it being useful in MOCs. Would it be silly to add it to the
catalog?
|
I think it would be fine in the catalog, although I'm sure there are others
who would oppose it. Are there other sprue-only entries in the catalog?

| I would be in favor of the part size being determined by the overall part dimensions
and not just the base that attaches to studs in the plane tail category
(and possibly other categories.) However, I think that most categories (modified
bricks, modified plates, etc.) would not benefit at all from such size alterations
in their names.

| The second one is not LEGO. While sorting batches of used parts, I have found
1X1 round plates like that one many times. Whatever brand they are, they look
extremely close to the LEGO version, but the top of the stud is smooth with no
logo.

Was it something they started recently?
