Somehow I don't think catalog admin is going to accept "Tile, Round

Maybe call it an ARC reactor? I'd have to rewatch the first Ironman movie
to be sure, but I seem to remember that both Tony's and Obadiah's power
sources were ARC reactors.

Correct; Stane steals Tony's new Arc Reactor to power his own suit (with
Tony having to switch back to his cave reactor for the final battle).

| Why is the round Friends alien in set 42605 not considered a Minifig, while their
slimmer sibling from the City sets (cty1727) is? The instructions do not have
this figure as part of a larger assembly, so there is no reason for this
egregious double-standard!
Please remove parts 3262pb05 (Lime, 1x) and 15469 (Lime, 1x) from the main inventory
of set 42605, and add the alien Minifig entry that I created. I will have a pic
of the Minifig up later.

| | Set 7171 from 1999 (Mos Espa Podrace):
is one of the celebrated early Star Wars sets and as such we may consider it
to be at the pinnacle of collector interest. In that set is a yellow dome with
a “blocked open stud” which is part no. 30151a:
[p=30151a,3]
The next version of that part by all accounts was introduced around 2010,
[p=30151b]
and by that time, the Mos Espa Podrace had long been retired. So we can say with
reasonable certainty that this set came originally with domes with blocked open
studs. If you see a copy of the set sitting on someone’s shelf and the domes
on Anakin’s podracer have hollow studs (no little Mercedes symbol), that is a
sure sign that the parts, and maybe even the whole set, is not original.
|
We only know this because of complete databases like the BrickLink Catalog.
| | Next up is set 6745-1 from 2009 (Propeller Power).
This also has a red 533 on the nose of the plane, but here the inventory system
says it could have either the “b” or “c” variant. Check the change log to see
if you recognize any of the people who added these variants to the set:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=6745-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1
We’re pretty sure this came with both “b” and “c” types. It didn’t come with
a vented stud, and someone might mistakenly put one on this model if BrickLink
doesn’t educate them about it, right? That is the premise on why we need these
variants in the catalog, correct?
The thing is, how can we tolerate the difference of stud type in this model,
and not in other models where it is historically incorrect? In this plane model
from 2009, both are correct, so what does that say about the mixing of variants
in other models?
|
As you say, it is because other cases are historically inaccurate. To use a Star
Wars example, this is like asking why Imperial officers cannot wear single-line
rank insignias post-Yavin when they had a mix of single-line and double-line
ranks (an increasing number of the latter, over time) before Yavin.
| | True collectors know that there actually is no replacement part that will ever
perfectly replace a part that is lost. The only truly correct part is the part
the set originally came with. It’s nice to get as close as possible to a correct
replacement part, but it’s a futile attempt.
|
This is pure cope, and also bull****.

| | Hello,
I'm back again with more questions about set 60431:
1. I've really combed the catalog and pending items and can't find the
new alien. I can add this cute little guy to the catalog, but have no idea whether
it's a minifig or a part such as animal/land/space. I also haven't found
the head, but can submit that too.

These little guys are built alongside the Minifigs, so I think that they should
count as such in the Catalog.

There are many variants not yet cataloged. I began the process of documenting
them with this list several years ago:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogRelCat.asp?relID=24
All variants could be cataloged and documented properly with selectable
variants, which is another reason why this is clearly the correct solution to
the variant problem.

| I am not sure that there is anything I can say that has not already been said;
merging significant part variants makes the Catalog more confusing and less comprehensive
(and will inevitably lead to unpleasant buying/selling experiences). It also
feels like the beginning of the end for BrickLink as a useful database of LEGO
element history.

Good lighting and comparison bricks; also keep in mind that the old greys look
yellowed when compared to their bluish counterparts.
