This part is present as a counterpart because it appears in two motorcycle assemblies
in this set. As to whether it should be present or not, I don't believe
there are any rules for this sort of thing.

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6600  Name: Police Patrol
* 
6600-1 (Inv) Police Patrol
16 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1981
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Police

* Add 1 Part 3023 White Plate 1 x 2 (Extra)

It seems from the photos that this plate was used on a model only appeared on
the box. (last photo, top-left model)
If the minifig without hat is considered as one piece, then the piece count 18
would be correct.

Cool, makes sense. Thanks for the explanation

Red - doesnt exist in a set
Dark Gray & DBG - rendered?

Good to see you around again! You haven't posted in the forum since June,
2017.

We're not getting rid of renders, so the two existing renders are fine.
We're only getting rid of renders which don't appear in any set in that
color. As for parts which simply don't appear in sets in a specific color,
there are many of these. We're keeping photos for these parts and deleting
renders. The image in red for this part is a photo, so it would not be deleted.

This project is actually finished, I believe. I just haven't closed it out
yet. Feel free to see if you can find anything the rest of us have missed before
I do.

  A new catalog project has begun:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2473

As you can see, the (Other) project is now complete and LordSkylark's project
is temporarily on hold.

The fifth catalog project is to remove images which are renders and which show
parts which do not exist in the colors shown. There are estimated to be 1,600
of these renders left in the catalog and there is no easy way for me to locate
them.

I would imagine the majority of them are for basic, undecorated parts. Please
post here with micro tags for the parts which need rendered images removed and
specify the colors. I will review the findings and remove the renders where
appropriate. Please note that this project will not be removing any actual
photos of parts.

Thank you all for your assistance.

  I checked my PC and saw that I had saved these photos of a sealed copy few months
ago (during the time I could not submit any inventory change request) The seals
are intact based on the photos. Is this good enough?

Yes, these are wonderful images! I can clearly tell that the seals seem to be
original and intact, I can clearly see the contents in the box sealed in their
bags, and I can clearly see the 4275. Excellent job!

  The photos of this copy shows that the box is different. It has languages French
and Italian. The very interesting thing is that these light gray hinges appears
on the box "assembled" but it is written "3" under 4275a and "2" under 4531!

Yes, the parts list on this box is *very* interesting. It is a great example
for understanding that these parts lists printed on the sides of boxes cannot
be fully trusted either when making inventory change decisions. The contents
of each set really need to be examined case-by-case.

  I have worked on this part for few months and realized that the very first time
it was produced was early 1985 yet it could had been used after until they ran
out of old stock of 4275a and 4276a. Do you note the transition time for each
part (to have a guideline)?

Yes, I was looking at the transition range for this part and its variant. Although
the timeline data is interesting as a whole, I do not use the timelines to make
inventory changes unless a *lot* of data has been proven reliable.

  This is why I believed in this inventory change request.

I'm glad you did, because I have learned a lot from this. Thanks for contributing,
and I hope you will do so again!

Request accepted.

Cheers,
Randy
