That one isn't in the BAM. The BAM versions I have seen all come in a gloveless
form and the buyer adds the glove to it.

Is it possible that in German or USA LEGO Brand stores it is sell with glove?

I assume the boxes they come in are the same. All the ones I have seen in the
UK have been without glove. Of course, staff or other customers could add the
gloves then leave the assembly.

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.

Are we sure that there aren't examples that such item later were used in
normal sets. I do not reckon now such cases when firstly such parts were in BaM
station and later appeared in normal sets but maybe there are such. Then adding
year could be problematic as when parts appear in a set then system add year
automatically and I do not know what bug in the system then occurs

For now we add years for those type parts
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemBrand=1000&itemType=P
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?catType=P&catString=534&itemBrand=1000

The problem is also with normal parts which are in sets but are in colors which
do not appear in sets. Recently were added
 
Part No: 12890  Name: Minifigure, Hair Female Long Straight
* 
12890 Minifigure, Hair Female Long Straight
Parts: Minifigure, Hair
in Orange
and
 
Part No: 17346  Name: Minifigure, Hair Female Long Straight with Bangs - Flexible Rubber
* 
17346 Minifigure, Hair Female Long Straight with Bangs - Flexible Rubber
Parts: Minifigure, Hair
in Bright Light Yellow

There is no possibility to match that they are from BaM station

But for now I added a note for mentioned torso part you can check if it is OK.

  Hi,

Looks like this parts:
 
Part No: 4460a  Name: Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
* 
4460a Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Open Stud
Parts: Slope
 
Part No: 4460b  Name: Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
* 
4460b Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 - Hollow Stud
Parts: Slope

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
 
Part No: 3684c  Name: Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
* 
3684c Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
Parts: Slope
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.
