  Hello All - I have a question about a particular minifig that is in the catalog.
It is pln056 from set 670-1. The catalog shows vest chevrons pointing up, a
red helmet, a blue torso and black legs.

I have a "version" with vest chevrons pointing up, a red helmet, a BLACK TORSO
and BLUE LEGS.

Is this a variation of pln056 or a different figure . . .

Thanks for any and all help!

Sounds like someone switched a red torso for a black one. The vest part can easily
be taken off and put on another torso.

orders where I didn't want to leave negative feedback).

I have collected lego for over 30 years. I definitely find these colors degrade
faster. In fact just snapped another 2 by 8 brown plate yesterday. I do find
the white bricks that 20 plus years are very brittle but that being said they
are old and are not indestructible.

623 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2012

a disaster during this break down.

Haven't opened mine yet. Broken plates when I finally assemble it.

Oh, yes! I've had about 8-9 shipments over the years where the outer box
was fine and the set box looked like it was drop kicked or stomped. In the
beginning, I used to say oh well, luck of the draw. Not any more. With the high
price of some of these sets, I expect a decent box. As others suggest, call lego,
explain the damage of contents and that you'd like a replacement. They always
handled it well. It doesn't always work out to do this at the holiday though,
especially if it's a gift, with most sets selling out very quickly.

  If the set wasn't listed and inventoried, you can't find it with your
search!

True, thought the same after I've posted my message (at least the inventoried
part, I doubt that it hasn't been listed at all?).

Yes, I've had it before. Perfect shipping box but completely trashed box.
Complain and tell them you want it replaced or refunded.

Every time I received something like that from Lego, a telephone call to the
help number resulted in a return and a new set sent out. They've always
been very nice in my experience.

You probably have newer parts of the 1X1 plate with clip piece. In your picture,
the ones with the green check mark are both older versions of that part, and
since their clips are thinner, they fit into the headlight bricks better.

are the ones you want. They're specific variants, so generally sellers who
have them for sale really do have those versions.

Not that bad.

I think two things are happening:

1. we want to make things too perfect: little holes here and there are not that
bad!

2. “you’re holding it wrong” / going at it backward.  The corner should be built
first.  It should be easier to adapt the sides to an abritrary corner than trying
to build a corner on an arbitrary side.

  Hey David,

Thanks for the response. I actually tried that, the two issues I had were 1.
The pitch in which the roof is angled and the size of the gap make it where that
piece doesn’t fit. 2. I had a hell of a time trying to even get that piece attached,
I tried using a the ball and clip but again the pitch of the roof made it difficult.
Again, thank you for your response. Much appreciated!!

It couldn't be any worse than my attempt many years ago.

I can't answer all your questions, but I believe they upload the set inventories
the moment they become available for purchase to the public.
It is so that customers who have broken/missing pieces in those sets can get
them through the customer service on the site.

When the parts will be in stock to order on B&P, I do not know. That could take
weeks, maybe even months.

And you are probably right about the bots, that makes most sense. Or else some
very dedicated fella did upload almost 1000 new parts to brickset today

If I'm remembering correctly, Lego used to list unavailable pieces as $0.00
and pieces that were actually sold out would have an actual price but be marked
as sold out... All new pieces have a price, and are marked as sold out.

Are there bots that snag these new parts as soon as they are listed? It's
always super frustrating trying to buy new parts off of B&P.

They use a mixture of out of stock, sold out and missing items. There rarely
seems any logic to it.

No, but I have definite issues with older blue pieces and even some older green.
I had a Duplo green baseplate that was so brittle it practically fell apart (one
I bought from someone on bricklink). I had some supposedly new blue duplo 2x8
plates crack as they were separated from each other (one of my first bricklink
orders where I didn't want to leave negative feedback).

Reddish Brown and Dark Red were/are notorious for being unbelievably brittle.
I believe LEGO corrected this issue around 2018, so you'll find that some
of their older parts are typically more fragile. Plates from pre-2018 might as
well be a one-time use part.

That's a know quality issue.

Many tires from the end of 90s to the early 2000s are oily and sometimes sticky.
No matter if there were used or not.

You found the Achilles heel in building LEGO houses: these kinds of angles are
near impossible to build.

If you go for best looks, you might want to use
 
Set No: col13  Name: Carpenter, Series 13 (Complete Set with Stand and Accessories)
* 
col13-9 (Inv) Carpenter, Series 13 (Complete Set with Stand and Accessories)
3 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2015
Sets: Collectible Minifigures: Series 13 Minifigures
and cut up the corner tiles. Since that approach would be a no-go for many:

You could approximate the angle by
 
Part No: 30504  Name: Wedge, Plate 8 x 8 Cut Corner
* 
30504 Wedge, Plate 8 x 8 Cut Corner
Parts: Wedge, Plate
covered with
 
Part No: 35787  Name: Tile, Modified 2 x 2 Triangular
* 
35787 Tile, Modified 2 x 2 Triangular
Parts: Tile, Modified
but you won't
end up at the exact angle due to the slopes of your roof. You would need to cover
the corners by
 
Part No: 4162  Name: Tile 1 x 8
* 
4162 Tile 1 x 8
Parts: Tile
or even some lesser known part as
 
Part No: 30258  Name: Road Sign 2 x 2 Square with Clip
* 
30258 Road Sign 2 x 2 Square with Clip
Parts: Road Sign

You might get lucky building SNOT, with e.g.
 
Part No: 60481  Name: Slope 65 2 x 1 x 2
* 
60481 Slope 65 2 x 1 x 2
Parts: Slope

Or you might switch to a different roof style using
 
Part No: 3675  Name: Slope 33 3 x 3 Double Convex Corner
* 
3675 Slope 33 3 x 3 Double Convex Corner
Parts: Slope

Enjoy building and exploring!

Unfortunately you will juts need to wait until someone parts out and inventories
the set.

Waiting for volunteers to upload inventories on a site actually owned by LEGO
seems a little daft.

I am not sure that they do - I ordered the Castle in the Forest, and I live in
the US, but I have received no email about a shipping delay. 😕

That's quite poor then. I hate it when companies expect you to follow them
on twitter to get generic order updates.

The expected delivery wasn't said to be at the start of 2022 or February
2022?

Maybe even the sets were ready at EU, shipping to end costumers would have been
better to wait until the sea shipping containers were unloaded on the US and
ship all sets at the same time.

Has anybody received their Designer Programme Kakapo 910017 yet?

Mine arrived yesterday, and it was a really enjoyable build. Instructions are
download-only, but I have no complaints there. There are quite a few spare pieces
in the set (I counted 74), mostly 1x1 plates, so there's plenty of scope
to customise the model's plumage.

One oddity I noticed is that the wings are slightly asymmetrical: there's
a 3x2 plate missing from the underside of the RH wing. It's virtually invisible,
but I just thought it peculiar as the rest of the bird is completely symmetrical.

Other Kakapo owners, I hope you're enjoying the set. Let us know what you
think.

You don’t like repeated redundant pleonasms?

Pleonasms are "redundant" and repetitive by definition, making your accusatory
question ironically pleonastic in nature.

Or was that the point of your emoticon?

  

  […]
Another option is a program called Lego Digital Designer. You can build using
every brick available and depending on the version you can even place an order
for the parts used when your done.

LDD has not had a part update for years.  And the ordering bit was removed almost
a decade ago.

Why not use BrickLink Studio?

No...fecking....way...

OMG - that would be fantastic. They should do a full Horizon Zero Dawn theme.
Epic game, would produce epic sets. Would buy and build them all.

https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-gaming-horizon-zero-dawn-tallneck-set/

Absolutely instant buy... there are already a bunch of brilliant MOCs out there
associated with that amazing game (such as the Thunderjaw in the image I'm
going to build someday!)...!

Life is Good.

Nice one!!

Wondering if LEGO will do a better job than MOCers tough challenge
