* Delete 2 Part 2555 White Tile, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip

Comments from Submitter:
I don't know why the request at http://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=169942 was approved. This set *only* contains 2 of each of the parts in question, and they are used on the Eris minifig as shown in the building instructions. I personally verified this inventory last year, and made many requests to ensure it was correct.

Randy,

The parts list has 4
 
Part No: 2555  Name: Tile, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip
* 
2555 Tile, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip
Parts: Tile, Modified
is this a misprint by Lego or should there have
been 4
 
Part No: 11100  Name: Minifigure Wing Feathered
* 
11100 Minifigure Wing Feathered
Parts: Minifigure, Body Wear
as well? I don't have the set and must go on the Parts List.

Except in this case there are not enough parts to make all of them into whole
minifigs.

Set No: 365  Name: Wild West Scene
* 
365-1 (Inv) Wild West Scene
552 Parts, 8 Minifigures, 1975
Sets: LEGOLAND: Western: Cowboys

* Add 1 Minifig old051 Legoland Old Type - Red Torso, Blue Legs, Blue Cowboy Hat (Counterpart)

Comments from Submitter:
last of the counterparts.

These should all be listed as regular figs. Just because the figs are in a sitting
position in the instructions shouldn't separate them from the other figs.

except they are not shown assembled as figs. So per the rules, they are not regular.

These early minifigs are an exception to the rule. Take a look at other inventories
that have them and you will see what has been done over the years. The reason
this anomaly has remained is because Dan J himself added the counterparts and
no one has had the impetus to overwrite what he did.

And even though Dan was excellent at seeing the big picture with regards to inventory
policy, he was not the detailed, methodical inventory worker that we usually
see working on these older inventories. He set up the system and mass-uploaded
thousands of inventories, but he left it up to others to do the fine tuning.

When one studies how these minifigs are used in sets, in becomes apparent that
the instructions cannot be used as a reference in the same way as those for movable
figs. Early figs coudn't bend or hold things, so the legs are often removed
from the torso when the fig is active, e.g. sitting in a vehicle or pushing a
wheelbarrow. Sure, if we want to be pedantic about it we could force the normal
rules on these figs. But it isn't practical - using counterparts means that
figs (whole or in part) are listed in three different sections of the inventory
- regular, minifig, and counterpart. This confuses people, and frankly is unappealing
aesthically.
