| | Hi,
Looks like this parts:
is taller than described as it is 4 studs high instead of 3 unless there is a
way to measure height I don't know.
Fortunately, there is no 3 studs high slope and I believe any MOCers using the
part just call it by its name and there would be no issue when building.
Strangely, part and all its variants looks like to be also 4 studs
high and not 3 (last pic clearly shows the same aspect ratio as 4460).
By the way 3684 is not marked for deletion yet.
Where was the issue ? "It's not you it's us" or just me ?
Thanks.

This thread is a useful reminder that exemplifies that measurement values without
units creates confusion. I work as a scientist in my day life, and talking about
measurements without units causes same problems.
To the OP, the slope 3684 is 3 bricks tall, which is the same as 9 plates tall
(a brick is 3 plates tall), or 18 Lego units tall (a plate is 2 Lego units).
A good relation measurement is 2x2 brick width is same as 5 plates height, which
means that a 1x1 brick width is 2.5 plates height, therefore the 3684 slope which
is 3 bricks tall = 9 plates height = 4.8 stud widths (12/2.5=3.6). So as you
can see, it makes no sense in referring to this slope as 3.6 stud heights. It's
very confusing. That being said, having units in the dimensions handy, will prevent
further confusions.
Knowing dimensions is very practical when SNOT building, where the orientation
of bricks is placed sideways and combination of upright and sideway bricks.

been semi-officially confirmed that LEGO has created exclusive elements for the
BaM (Build a Minifgure) bins in LBR stores. I'm sure this will give more
people headaches for authenticating parts, since they will not appear in any
inventories. Looks interesting though, and I hope they keep introducing new
elements.

Some of them are alrady in the catalog

Can we add years to these. Clearly we know what year these appeared first. Also
it would be nice to note somewhere (item description or sub-category) that these
are exclusive to the Build-A-Minifigure (BaM) station in LBR stores. It will
help to have this information in the future, and the years will make it useful
to place these into some chronological context.

And yes the minifigure Jack is identical to the one in 70418-1 J.B's Ghost

Just doubled checked hs001 and Jack has a different head. hs001 has teeth showing,
but the Jack in 70425 has a closed mouth. The other 3 parts are identical.

In our catalog main color is one which is on the part underside
* | | 35074pb02 Bird, Friends / Elves, Feet Joined with Magenta Body and Bright Light Orange Eyes Pattern (Pepper)
Parts: Animal, Air |
That is why bright light orange not Magenta
* | | 42861pb01 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Stormtrooper with Molded Black Forehead, Eyes, Nose, Chin, and Panels on Back and Printed Dark Bluish Gray Marks and Tan Dirt Stains Pattern (Sandtrooper)
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear |
that is why black not white
Dog underside is trans clear.
This is our policy.
