| I wonder if the socks are located in the clothing areas of Walmart (men's/women's/children's).
I also wonder if there really IS a Lego dinosaur or if they just show that dinosaur
to get people's attention for the socks.

| Early this morning, out doing some shopping, and spied this LEGO endcap at WalMart.
On the side was a dino and images of LEGO socks. They were not in the endcap,
nor on the LEGO aisle. Has anyone seen these in stores ? Youth or Adult sizes
? I don't see these in the Catalog.

|
| I'm hoping someone with Dacta catalogs from the mid(?) 1990's (perhaps
1993 - 1997) can help.
I recently acquired a somewhat obscure Control Lab set:
which I am in the process of creating the catalog inventory for. There don't
appear to be any references to this set of most of the other standard sites (e,g,
brickset, peeron) and the only image I could find of this set was at http://www.miniland.nl/Dacta/sets/2001187.htm.
The set in question is the set in the yellow case at the rear of the photo.
Via the wayback machine, I've had a trawl through LEGO's various sites
and have had no joy in finding any image for this set. Based on what I have found,
my presumption is that this set would have been listed in a Dacta catalog from
sometime in the mid-1990s - it may be that this set only was for sale in the
UK/Europe, although that is speculation on my behalf.
I was wondering whether anybody with Dacta catalogs from the mid-1990's would
be willing to take a look through their catalogs to see if they can find an image
for the set. My photo skills are "lacking" and if an image for the set is available
in a catalog, it will likely be better than any photo I add. If you do find an
image for the set, would you please submit it as the image for this set. I'd
also appreciate it if you would send me a copy of the image too please, as I
would like to be able to add this set to rebrickable.com.
Thank you and regards,
David

* Do they have similar clutch power to the other axles? This is the first thing
to test. If not, might be an indication that they are indeed fake.
* Newer 32L axles should have ©LEGO and a mould number on them - at one of the
ends. NO mould pip at the (other) end.
* No idea if this also concerns axles, but recently we have been finding a scary
amount of pieces to be manufactured from that new bio-plastic crap. Does the
surface of those axles feel the same, and do they sound the same?
|
Thanks! The white 32 clearly has LEGO, the yellow one doesn't have it. The
material is the same. Clutch power not tested yet. So the question is: Do all
original 32 axles have the LEGO sign. Main difference is the cross the 32 had
slightly undeeper grooves and the cross is between 0,50- 1 mm thicker.
|
Mine don't have the lego sign. Although they are not as fat looking as yours.
Mine are from 2013 #60004.
|
Thanks! Yes the fat cross is the big question. But anyway you can see how difficult
it is to find out what is original and what isn't...and this is a bit worrying.
I started the whole post because I am reselling the parts and I want to be sure
that I sell original parts, especially because these parts fetch a large premium.
And of course the idea of paying 90 Euro for 10 axles that maybe can be bought
from Ali for 2 Euro all 10... free postage..If this is the case I don't blame
the seller directly, because there may be more chains in the selling process..but
if it are really fake parts someone is making a giant profit...

Hi
I now also note that the white original LEGO axle has a flat somewhat lower recktangle
place with a dot in the middle on both sides of the end of the axle. The yellow
doesn't have this. But it could be another mold?

I sure won't win the photo competition and I hope it is clear.
Left: shorter yellow axle. Middle: the yellow 32 axle. Right: the white 32 axle.
Although the photo is not the best you can see that the yellow 32 has not ther
sharp cross the other axles have.

Hi
Colour: I did not compare them with yellow parts, but with the hunderds of yellow
AXLES in different lenght and coming from various sources I have in stock.
The dimple in the black or white axles I have is very tiny.
When I compare the cross of the white and black axle 32 with this of the yellow
ones, it is much sharper.I will try to make a photo.

Not sure why anyone is surprised about this. There was a big catalog dump that
was largely stormchaser’s baby and it was mostly cancelled at the last minute.
Was he frustrated, probably. Is this the first time he has left BL, no. This
might not be the last we see of stormchaser. He had big ambitions, but it looks
like he wasn’t given the freedom to execute his vision. Maybe BL was right to
not make too many catalog changes at once, but maybe not... Either way, when
you get paid to do a job, it’s important to do your best within the parameters
of that job. I’m just guessing, but I think he was just ahead of his time at
BL. All the best!

| | We are pleased to announce that a major new feature was deployed to the catalog
today - Packing Dimensions!
|
Today the last bug was fixed for the new Packing Dimensions Project, Phase 1.
Contributors may now use the question mark link on the catalog detail page to
quickly and easily submit a missing Packaging Dimension (see Image 1).
If the question mark isn't working as a link, it's not a bug - just go
to your Catalog Settings page and check the box (see Image 2):
Show Links to Add Weight and Dimensions
...and be sure to save your settings. 
A full 7 months before the April 6 release of this feature, on Sep 6 of last
year I opened a new Forum Topic called Packing Dimensions X, to make it easier
to handle the large backlog of requests that had built up earlier in the year.
When I opened the topic, I actually asked people NOT to contribute except when
necessary:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1220218
As a matter of consideration, please don't add dimensions for parts with
every side under 20mm.
And then on Oct 6, I asked for the following:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1225859
...until we get a tool that goes through the normal approval channels (which
is coming in the next few weeks), please do not submit measurements for an entire
set of [300] decorated parts...
However, now that the tool is ready to use, I would like to officially remove
all restrictions from submitting Packing Dimensions. We are planning to open
up some other forms and give you some handy filters to find missing dimensions
- this will be in Phases 2 and 3. But for now, the paved road is finally open,
so drive on through!
I'd also like to include a little chart showing the effect of releasing this
tool (see Image 3). And we still have 4 more days to go in April.
|
I saw the blue ? before I saw the forum post. That should speed things up.

Today the last bug was fixed for the new Packing Dimensions Project, Phase 1.
Contributors may now use the question mark link on the catalog detail page to
quickly and easily submit a missing Packaging Dimension (see Image 1).
If the question mark isn't working as a link, it's not a bug - just go
to your Catalog Settings page and check the box (see Image 2):
Show Links to Add Weight and Dimensions
...and be sure to save your settings.
A full 7 months before the April 6 release of this feature, on Sep 6 of last
year I opened a new Forum Topic called Packing Dimensions X, to make it easier
to handle the large backlog of requests that had built up earlier in the year.
When I opened the topic, I actually asked people NOT to contribute except when
necessary:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1220218
As a matter of consideration, please don't add dimensions for parts with
every side under 20mm.
And then on Oct 6, I asked for the following:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1225859
...until we get a tool that goes through the normal approval channels (which
is coming in the next few weeks), please do not submit measurements for an entire
set of [300] decorated parts...
However, now that the tool is ready to use, I would like to officially remove
all restrictions from submitting Packing Dimensions. We are planning to open
up some other forms and give you some handy filters to find missing dimensions
- this will be in Phases 2 and 3. But for now, the paved road is finally open,
so drive on through!
I'd also like to include a little chart showing the effect of releasing this
tool (see Image 3). And we still have 4 more days to go in April.

Counterpart, Regular or Extra?

They are already in the inventory, as regular and extra parts. This is similar
to other parts that come in card boxes to protect them.

| | | This will be worth more, as it is a nice one that can also be used for variation
and not just curiousity. Did you get it in a set, or in a lot?
|
I got it in a bundle of parts from eBay.

WOW!
Are misprints even worth anything on top of the original value? I know some people
like to collect them.

This will be worth more, as it is a nice one that can also be used for variation
and not just curiousity. Did you get it in a set, or in a lot? I think one of
the Chinese sellers that do missing print / bad print parts was selling that
one a few years ago. I bought a lot of LOTR parts that were missing paint from
them but didn't really pay too much attention to the SW parts. I remember
that they had a lot of partially printed ewok heads.

| | Very collectable from what i've seen and most if not all have higher values
because of it, i don't collect them specifically but we've had a few
come through our way and i have them all bagged in a draw, like my little treasure
box, my fave so far is Theoden's armour, the printing is on the back instead
of the front, always nice to get something a little more quirky.

I'm not a huge SW fan so I don't think I'll keep it, I think there
are others who will treasure it more than me!
