350 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 1995
Sets: Pirates: Pirates I

* Delete 1 Part 4265a Light Gray Technic Bush 1/2 Toothed Type I (match ID 1)
* Add 1 Part 4265b Light Gray Technic Bush 1/2 Toothed Type II (match ID 1)

Comments from Submitter:
4265a replaced with 4265b as per original instructions.

Some strange changes were made to this set.

Set originally inventoried with "a" type then in 2010 "a" type changed to "b"
type in regular section. In 2012 "a" type return but as an alternate. Finally
in 2013 in regular section "b" type changed to "a" but "a" left in alternate

So now we have "a" in both regular and alternate section.
Unfortunately, any discussion about these changes remain.

And here we go again, this mess have to be straighten
Can somebody shed some light on this matter?

Marek

It seems the change was already made but here is further evidence, if it helps.
I've attached a photo of the 1995 instructions I came across that shows the
valid part. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.

Valid point, however I am a real person who just started inventorying classic
80s and 90s sets and came across this issue. I have the original instructions
booklet from a 1995 set that shows the valid part.

When adding an item to my wanted list, I typically want it in 5 colors. As it
is, I have to add the item in each color or select 'no-applicable' which
means when I check a store I get a rainbow of the item which slows my search.

When I add an item it should just let me select boxes for the desired colors.

Based on the way Storm-chaser treats this type of cases, you should ONLY accept
any of these variations if there is an evidence: sealed set or an owner who has
kept the set with original parts.
All my inventories supported with any other type of evidence (including instructions)
have been rejected.
I don't think it is correct to have various procedures depending on which
admin check the request.

Our system on BrickLink is based on the reliability of the username.

Could we please rephrase that to:

"The system on BrickLink is evidence based. When in doubt the judgement can be
based on the reliability of the username."

I think that is what you mean to say. The way it was written could be interpreted
with a completely different meaning.

Before there is evidence, there must be a reliable deliverer of that evidence.
In any court of law, testimonies are given about the nature of the evidence as
to where and when it was found. If the testimonies can't be believed, than
neither can the evidence.

That having been said, it is very helpful and important that contributors document
their presentations as thoroughly as possible. So I'm not saying evidence
is not necessary. But the BrickLink catalog relies principally on a large group
of contributors who have built up their reputation on the site to the point where
their submissions can be trusted.

Any new user can submit new information to the catalog. If there is enough evidence,
the submission is accepted. At that time, the contributor does not have a reputation
yet. The submission is a first step in building that.

Our large group of contributors have gained their reputation of being reliable
because they have shown consistent and careful evidence-based work. That reputation
has to be based on something more than just a large number of catalog change
requests.

Of course, new users have to start somewhere, and we extend to each one a certain
token amount of goodwill. And their work gets checked extra carefully.

  My username does not have a hyphen and the second word is capitalized: StormChaser.

My apologies.

  As for the way I treat these kinds of cases, read this message from less than
a month ago:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1091324

I did exactly the same thing there that Marek did with this request for 6279
and I said:

  I don't consider the thin ring clip variant proven to have appeared in this set, but I am adding it back into the inventory as a regular part to avoid inconsistency in the catalog.

Yes you did (but you were reluctant to do so). But I am not following everything
here:

You wrote many times that inconsistency of catalog cannot be a reason to add
a variant of a part and this would not be considered as evidence. Should we distinguish
the regular and alternate (later variant)? For what reason?

I can give many instances in which you didn't accept to add a variant because
a similar set released on the same years came also with that variant (and I do
agree that this is not enough at all. But I will continue the other "probabilistic
discussion soon...")

Which is relatively recent, to my mind. Six months with no buying/selling transactions
and no other catalog/inventory activity until now.

  Why could this not be a new user who found something odd in the inventory and
is now being helpful and trying to correct the information?

This very well could be the case. But maybe it's not.

  Am I missing something here?

Sometimes people have more than one account. That may not be what's happening
here, but maybe it is.

Is it?

The user signed up 6 months ago.

The proposed change is a simple part version change.
The change request only became complicated because of the change history which
the user might not have known.

The change request was made less than 24 hours ago. To early to say he does not
comment.


Why could this not be a new user who found something odd in the inventory and
is now being helpful and trying to correct the information? Am I missing something
here?

Check how the hinges 4276a and 4276b have been changed for this set 7824 from
1983-90:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=7824-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1

See
https://worldbricks.com/en/catalog-year/1990/catalogs-1995.html

The reviewer doesn't say if he opened a new one but this copy is so neat
coming with everything, like the clear inner tray and catalog of 1995. The catalog
shows that this copy was from 1995 and we can see in the images 4265a.
My guess is that in the early releases, 4265a was used but it is likely that
in the following year, it got replaced by 4265b.

Some strange changes were made to this set.

Set originally inventoried with "a" type then in 2010 "a" type changed to "b"
type in regular section. In 2012 "a" type return but as an alternate. Finally
in 2013 in regular section "b" type changed to "a" but "a" left in alternate

So now we have "a" in both regular and alternate section.
Unfortunately, any discussion about these changes remain.

And here we go again, this mess have to be straighten
Can somebody shed some light on this matter?

Marek

I'm sure that this set should have both variant "a" and "b" in inventory
(one of them as alternate), another set from the same year for example
 
Set No: 6090  Name: Royal Knight's Castle
* 
6090-1 (Inv) Royal Knight's Castle
712 Parts, 11 Minifigures, 1995
Sets: Castle: Royal Knights
the only strange think were these changes through years with final result having
the same part variant twice

Are you sure based on what? Based on the other two sets?

Based on the way Storm-chaser treats this type of cases, you should ONLY accept
any of these variations if there is an evidence: sealed set or an owner who has
kept the set with original parts.
All my inventories supported with any other type of evidence (including instructions)
have been rejected.
I don't think it is correct to have various procedures depending on which

Nope, the price was 70 for 2 items (I did not do screenshot as I gave up buying)
so if he sold for 60 he is even worse...

I guess it is better to go back to ebay. You guys really don't have any boundaries...

  Also, it looks like the one they sold was at £60 not £70. So they could have
been alerted to their cheap price by the other person buying it.

Comments from Submitter:
4265a replaced with 4265b as per original instructions.

Inventory change request aproved. I only move "a" variant to regular and "b"
variant to alternate as in other two sets (8210-1 and 6090-1) from this year
with this situation to be consistent.

https://worldbricks.com/en/catalog-year/1990/catalogs-1995.html

The reviewer doesn't say if he opened a new one but this copy is so neat
coming with everything, like the clear inner tray and catalog of 1995. The catalog
shows that this copy was from 1995 and we can see in the images 4265a.
My guess is that in the early releases, 4265a was used but it is likely that
in the following year, it got replaced by 4265b.

Some strange changes were made to this set.

Set originally inventoried with "a" type then in 2010 "a" type changed to "b"
type in regular section. In 2012 "a" type return but as an alternate. Finally
in 2013 in regular section "b" type changed to "a" but "a" left in alternate

So now we have "a" in both regular and alternate section.
Unfortunately, any discussion about these changes remain.

And here we go again, this mess have to be straighten
Can somebody shed some light on this matter?

Marek

I'm sure that this set should have both variant "a" and "b" in inventory
(one of them as alternate), another set from the same year for example
 
Set No: 6090  Name: Royal Knight's Castle
* 
6090-1 (Inv) Royal Knight's Castle
712 Parts, 11 Minifigures, 1995
Sets: Castle: Royal Knights
the only strange think were these changes through years with final result having
the same part variant twice

Also, it looks like the one they sold was at £60 not £70. So they could have
been alerted to their cheap price by the other person buying it.

  The response was that he raised the price but no reply. I am sad to see he managed
to sell one in the meantime...

I submitted a complaint but no response there. I am both upset and angry there
is no way this is allowed on any selling site...

A seller is allowed to change their prices whenever they like before an order
is placed. You contacting them probably alerted them to see that their price
was rather low. Is what they did ethical? No. Is it allowed? Yes.

Their new price is still quite cheap anyway - they are still cheapest in Europe
for new by about 5 Euro. You can now decide to buy from them or buy from someone
else.

Perhaps someone who has some insight into this matter will be willing to share
their knowledge?

This part only comes in one set (with part 57878 Train Wheel RC Train listed
as a counterpart):

 
Part No: 2879  Name: Train Wheel
* 
2879 Train Wheel
Parts: Wheel

This part comes in 70 sets and two parts:

 
Part No: 57878  Name: Train Wheel RC
* 
57878 Train Wheel RC
Parts: Wheel

Are they the same part with duplicate catalog entries? This is what I suspect.

Part 2879 is only in the inventory for set 9764-1. Brickset has that set listed
with part 57878 in the inventory.

Dear Admins,

I want to share one of my first experiences as a new bricklink member I had to
suffer. There is no response on my complaint (there is no even proper category
for this) so I'm desperate to seek justice.

I was searching for set 60051 and I found a great deal as you can see in the
first image.
I wanted to buy one, but seeing the price I decided to go for both. Unfortunately
shop size policy stopped me from ordering so I contacted the seller (I've
seen replicas on eBay, and that time I was not sure if they can be sold here):
"Subject: 60051
Sent: Jun 12, 2018 18:35
From: shungabubus (0)

Read: Yes

Hello,

I am interested in your High Speed trains. They are real LEGO, aren't they?
If
so, I am thinking to buy both of them, but the shipping cost can be an issue.
I wonder how much it is to 4400 Nyiregyhaza Hungary? I also wonder if it would
be better to take the sealed small packages our ofthe paper box and re-package
them? I don't need the box nor the instructions, if you find it reasonable
I'm
more than happy to leave them with you in exchange for this favor.

What do you say?

Cheers:
Tamas"


The response was that he raised the price but no reply. I am sad to see he managed

Many thanks:
Tamas

Hygrotus, this is also one way to help, isn't it?

From my personal collection. The last set I got as a kid. My brother promised
to buy a Lego for me at some point and bought this after few years! It was bought
sometime about 1993 but there is no way we can know at what year my copy was
released.

I remember I got 5 of 4265a from this set and these were all 4265a I had. Unfortunately
one of 4265a were already smashed (broken) in the sealed box! That was disappointing
but I had forgiven TLG since this set was supposed to come with 3 of them and
by the way, I had still 4 (one extra).

Does BrickLink also log changes made to the parts them self back in 2013?
I suspect there were made some changes to that part specific.

Yes if the name or number of part is changed there is also log with that changes.
Those two parts don't have any.

Please accept my apology. Like an unseasoned and hurriedly-cooked meal caught
from a polluted stream by an impoverished man, it was in poor taste.

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Part No: 2878c01  Name: Train Wheel RC, Holder with Black Train Wheel Pair on Chrome Silver Metal Axle with Slots (2878 / 2879c01)
* 
2878c01 (Inv) Train Wheel RC, Holder with Black Train Wheel Pair on Chrome Silver Metal Axle with Slots (2878 / 2879c01)
Parts: Wheel

* Delete 2 Part 57878 Black Train Wheel RC Train
* Add 2 Part 2879 Black Train Wheel

Perhaps someone who has some insight into this matter will be willing to share
their knowledge?

This part only comes in one set (with part 57878 Train Wheel RC Train listed
as a counterpart):

 
Part No: 2879  Name: Train Wheel
* 
2879 Train Wheel
Parts: Wheel

This part comes in 70 sets and two parts:

 
Part No: 57878  Name: Train Wheel RC
* 
57878 Train Wheel RC
Parts: Wheel

Are they the same part with duplicate catalog entries? This is what I suspect.

  sorry but i don't own any at the moment. don't worry every collector
knows that these things come with a red dot

I would still like to see some evidence and have that evidence preserved for
those who examine this change in the future. I've looked at several scans
of catalogs from the time period and don't see the red dot in any of the
photos.

Just to be clear: I don't have any doubt that you know what you're talking
about. I'd just like to see changes to these older sets thoroughly documented.
