Thankfully, since there are so many headlight bricks with varying levels of partial
holes. It was definitely a manufacturing defect.

You think the horizontal slot is a defect?
I believe, until Lego says otherwise, the slot is meant to be like this.
Out of all my 4070 at least 80% have a slot, no matter what year or color, no
matter what set it came from.
Too much for a defect.
It is a slot that is always the same form, sharply formed, very straight and
small.
I think it could be made for pressure relieve.

Yes, if you look from the inside, the hole is always moulded there. Sometimes
there is a thin skin over it. I think all my newer parts have the slot, with
older ones being hit and miss.
I believe the note on the part 'This part is occasionally found with a small
horizontal slot in the front near the base. This is believed to be an unintentional
feature.' is incorrect. Should be the other way round 'occasionally
found WITHOUT a small...'

Exactly my idea!
Maybe we should ask for a catalog change.

What I don’t suspect but know is that they do not sell for these prices, at least
not in the last 6 months.

I would propose 3 additional days and that is it. Let us get our stock back

I agree, an NPB takes too long.
In rare occassions a payment is made after an NPB but most of the time it results
in a finished NPB.
So for me a week waiting after an order is made is okay but 3 days after starting
an NPB should be enough.
The warning signs for an NPB are enough to shake the buyer awake and response
to the sellers messages and NPB.

OK then in return I propose that we buyers can initiate and complete NRS and
NSS after proportionally shorter time. If sellers want to give us buyers less
time to make the payment, then they should also have less time to issue invoices
and ship. Something for something. As a side note, I would like to mention that
in Europe many payments are still made by conventional bank transfer, which may
take few days to complete (and will only be processed on business days).
Final comment: Sellers that want to push for high-speed payment should accept
the fact that for 99% of buyers this is a hobby whereas for a considerable fraction
of sellers it is a full- or part-time business. We buyers typically have a normal
job and need to find the time to do things related to BL.

I agree on your idea, it should go both sides.
But I think most sellers are selling as a hobby, not as a business.
If I look at your large amount of feedback you generate I almost suspect you
of having a Lego business too but on a different sellingpoint... 😅

Thank you for mentioning this. It has been corrected.

As always you are very quick, thanks again!

Lor101 was mentioned with quiver until Stormchaser changed it a few minutes ago.
When I checked it at the time of the post it was with quiver, most likely at
the time you checked it was already changed.

| Jere below is a copy and paste of my ideas from another related post.
I also had done a request years ago regarding Biba Fett’s legs but they were
not accepted.
I still believe a catalog cannot be complete if such important parts are not
seen as useable and saleable.
Copy from me from another recent post.
I believe I read in this large forumpost and another one that decorated legs
and hips will not be in the catalog.
I think this is a shame and a shortcoming in the catalog.
A lot of us buy second hand minifigures etc.
All parts can be broken, scratched, have hairline cracks and legs are quite often
nibbled on and have bitemarks.
I think it would be silly to buy the whole assembly while for a fraction of the
price you might want to buy a left or right leg or a hip.
Not only would it be cheaper but this is also a chance to NOT throw away parts
that cannot be sold in a standard way, a way that a buyer can find.
If they are for sale a seller must use unfindable methods and they will probably
remain it store for decades.
A wast of time, effort, money and plastic.

| | I have this set of hips from Patrick, without the legs:
But it shows no inventory for that assembly to split up the legs from the hips.
As far as I can see in the catalog, only solid color hips and legs are sold separately.
Am I missing something? Can the decorated hips and legs be sold separately?
Thanks,
Lisa
