| Re: Moving Things - Responses - SylvainLS (46) | [...] Forgot to add: How should someone know a tread is “Technic” or not? How should someone know the difference between a “Chain Link” and a “Tread”? [...]

| Re: discolored new white parts - SylvainLS (46) | [...] Yep, “they are not really white” isn’t really precise. Some is due to age but some is simply because TLG’s quality control on colours has never been good (and I find [...]

| Re: Studs vs "knobs"? - SylvainLS (46) | [...] Nope, there are hollow studs that TLG calls studs. It’s just that TLG’s naming is inconsistent, riddled with typos and errors, and not always useful (WIG #139?).

| Re: 44567 - SylvainLS (46) | [...] Yes, it’s counter-intuitive because your intuition is to think shape (plate modified) has a higher priority than function (hinge), and so they should be [...]

| Re: POLL: New Variant for 6641 - SylvainLS (46) | [...] There doesn’t seem to be a fuctionnal difference, so alternate item number and added to the list of variants not (yet?) recognized.

| Re: Minifig series: boxes/instructions? - SylvainLS (46) | [...] Yes, a seller’s nightmare. [...] That would make these sets different from other sets that have separate “Original Box” and “Instructions” items in the catalogue. [...]

| Re: Minifig series: boxes/instructions? - SylvainLS (46) | [...] I think it’s because each minifigure comes in a bag with the instructions, so each minifigure set has to be linked to the instructions. That they are the same doesn’t [...]

| Re: Dark Green - who's going to crack first? - SylvainLS (46) | [...] Besides, in the Colour Guide, we don’t need a 1:1 match, only a 1:n (1 BL colour name, n LEGO colour names). And if a LEGO colour corresponds to multiple BL colours [...]

| Re: Dark Green - who's going to crack first? - SylvainLS (46) | [...] My guess is they changed Green to Dark Green because it was ambiguous (“Green? Which Green?”). And the “problem” stems from the fact that TLG calls the other [...]

| Re: With and without groove in one set - SylvainLS (46) | [...] Yep. And BL’s inventories shouldn’t be read as “you either get N of this variant or N of that one” but as “you N parts total, either of this or that variant.” So each [...]

| Re: Black vs Dark Brown - SylvainLS (46) | [...] Considering TLG’s track records in colour QA, it would be anything from “blackish” to milky white ;):D
