you are right, as there was previously no alternate part for the whites, it does
not make sense to add white 3794b as alternate.

with *all* white 3794a and you didn't get any white 3794b, why would you
ask to add any white 3794b as alternates? It doesn't make sense. There is
no established white 3794a or 3794b in the set, just one undetermined entry that

So it was a mistake on your part to ask to add 3794b in white as an alternate?
And are we sure we need to keep 3794a in red in the Regular Items section?

in ALL 3 boxes there were the SAME mix up of these parts:
ALL red ones came as 3794b.
ALL white ones came as 3794a.
It seems that this was the standard for these boxes as I have bought all 3 from
different sources.

From 3 sealed sets, the red part was 3794b, during the white part was 3794b. The undertermined version is not required here anymore.

I am sorry if I am still confused by your statements, but can I ask you to just
answer these questions with a 'yes' or 'no'?
Did you find any 3794a in red in any of the three sets you parted
out?
Did you find any 3794b in red in any of the three sets you parted
out?
Did you find any 3794a in white in any of the three sets you parted

| This post has been around for a while, but it's exactly the enhancement I'd
like to see implemented.
Example: If I have a particular torso on my wantlist, and I'm shopping for
parts, I'd also like to see any minifigs for sale that have that torso.
There's a good chance I might buy the fig instead.
Thanks.

| | After a brief search I could not find anything on the following, so there goes
my first post.
Sometimes I have parts like a hinge plate 1 x 2 with 1 finger (the old hinges)
on my wanted list.
This can be found
- as such , just this part
- in a parts assembly (together with the 2 finger hinge plate)
- in a set
If I search for any directly I can find them, no problem.
Nevertheless an option like "include part assembly in search" and/or "include
sets in search" would save me doing 3 different searches, besides possibly adding
all possible combinations to my wanted lists (risking missing out on a good purchase
or duplicating parts).
I would expect an option like this in the wanted list, (search and shop options),
shop search and catalog search for example.
To avoid massive search results ( if you have big wanted lists and/or very common
parts on the wanted list) a tickbox could be added at wanted list item level:
to indicate whether you want this to be eligable for the above options or not.
I am looking for feedback on the idea. Did I simply mis an option that I can
use? How can I propose it to the administrators?
Thanks for reading and feedback is really apreciated

sides of the car, shouldn't one of the stickers be applied to a
Thanks,

Randy,
I am not sure what you mean by "symmetry" so I studies all the symmetries of
this car. See photo attached.
The reflection along the yellow line is one symmetry, but we can surely assume
that there is no preference between the front and back of this car so we get
a reflection along the red line. Overall, the group of symmetries of this car
has four elements and its group structure is
Z/2Z + Z/2Z
This group is not cyclic and depending on the symetry we choose, we can get four
different answers.
Sorry, I know my presentation is too simple and is not at the level of complexity
of your question but this is the best I could do.
Cheers,
Reza

Hi Reza!
Okay, look at the image below. The left side shows the car from the instructions
with the "TRANSPORT" sticker attached on one door. The right side shows the car
mirrored to simulate the opposite side of the car. Therefore, shouldn't the
"TRANSPORT" sticker on that side be on the
instead of having two
listed in the inventory?
Cheers,
Randy

What I meant to say was that the part comes as one complete unit in the sets
directly from LEGO and is counted as one part by LEGO. There is no need to assemble
it, and it is not meant to be disassembled. I was rushing through messages before,
so I didn't explain it well enough.
Cheers,

That makes sense. I did have a strong suspicion that the parts came pre-assembled
in sets, since that chassis is a juniorized part (for young kids), and the precise
force that would be required to put the 2X2 modified plates on the underside
looked like something that would take adult level effort.

Hopefully not for long. But perhaps I can shed some insight as I have a background
as a photographer/videographer.
I can't say what camera, but for pictures like this a macro lens is required
to get close in shots with tiny objects like Lego. If Mark is using a DSLR of
some kind or comparable then shooting uncompressed photos will retain sharper
images.
I can't say what filters Mark used, but a polarizer filter can help greatly
with reducing reflective / semi-reflective surfaces like Lego.
And Mark is most likely using a light box of some sort or using white surfaces
of some kind to bounce the light for even lighting/softer shadowing.
Hopefully Mark will be back to elaborate but hopefully this information is helpful
in the meantime.

Very helpful, thank you for the explanation. I’m ashamed to say that I have all
the dslr equipment but have not been using it for a couple of years.

Comments from Submitter:
My box was not sealed, but the bags were. The hoses were not inside bags, so I'm floating this out there and reasonable confidence. The hoses were meant to be cut to the lengths in the instructions (which match what the inventory currently says). My rigid hose was 1 stud short of what the inventory shows and was in a sealed bag. The gears were in a sealed bag too, which is strange because they aren't in the instructions anywhere. I am guessing that the bag of little parts is common to more than one set.

Well I think this is just something "they don't like". I also mentioned Br*ckOwl
somewhere just to explain a point and it got removed or something like that
(don't recall clearly, but it was an issue).
It always makes me feel weird when Bricklink is being all "shhhh don't mention
to people that Br*ckOwl exists". I can only see that as Bricklink calling itself
a bad marketplace. It would make Bricklink look a lot better and professional
if they acknowledged AFOLs use different sites and tools at the same time and
didn't go all "shhh!".
Btw Mark I read your response on your page and I agree. It is not about "picking
a side" at all.

Please do. It may be a regional thing, since the inventory was submitted by someone
here in the States, and it was confirmed by someone here in the States (both
of them are recognized contributors to BrickLink). When I was checking some speed

I am sorry if I am still confused by your statements, but can I ask you to just
answer these questions with a 'yes' or 'no'?
Did you find any 3794a in red in any of the three sets you parted
out?
Did you find any 3794b in red in any of the three sets you parted
out?
Did you find any 3794a in white in any of the three sets you parted
out?
Did you find any 3794b in white in any of the three sets you parted

I was confused on this. I can see when I reread your post that you were presenting
a series of different possibilities, instead of one idea backed up by three facts
as I originally read your post. So ignore what I said here.
No, the contents of your set are not true and original. Your statements are
self-contradictory.

It took me significant efforts to buy these two sets from overseas, convince
the seller to ship them and buy for him a shipping label. It also took me few
hours to check the contents of the two sets and find the differences with the
inventory on BL. I did them for these two sets because it is very hard to find
them in new condition.
Overall I considered all possibilities and so I believe that the contents are
new and original.
I am not sure why you undermine my efforts by giving a one-line proposition that
the contents of my sets are not true and original. Have you seen any photos of
them? The majority of parts in one set are in sealed bags. Based on what facts
did you decide that the content is not true and original?

Thanks,

Randy,
I am not sure what you mean by "symmetry" so I studies all the symmetries of
this car. See photo attached.
The reflection along the yellow line is one symmetry, but we can surely assume
that there is no preference between the front and back of this car so we get
a reflection along the red line. Overall, the group of symmetries of this car
has four elements and its group structure is
Z/2Z + Z/2Z
This group is not cyclic and depending on the symetry we choose, we can get four
different answers.
Sorry, I know my presentation is too simple and is not at the level of complexity
of your question but this is the best I could do.
Cheers,
Reza

But you said *all* of your sets came with *all* white 3794a. If they *all* came
with *all* white 3794a and you didn't get any white 3794b, why would you
ask to add any white 3794b as alternates? It doesn't make sense. There is

It depends on the distance and it depends on how you define the distance. I have
two definitions at hand:
Definition one: the distance between two websites is the minimum number of clicks
required to go from one website to the other.
In this case, this distance would be three: first click on the link that he
provided. The second click would be on "fup", and the third would be on one of
his images.
Definition two: 1+ "the minimum number of websites required to be visited"
Based on this definition, the distance would be 2 because one only need to visit
mfav's website to get from here to the other website.
Bricklink follows the first definition. The rule that they follow on Bricklink
depends on the other website:
For Ebay, the distance cannot be more than 25018 otherwise the thread will be
cancelled.
For BO, the distance cannot be more than 888102 otherwise the thread will be
cancelled.
For Lego.com, the distance could me more than 99999999 for threads posted before
December 2019. Since December 2019, the distance is allowed, sorry, it is encouraged
to be one.

Hopefully not for long. But perhaps I can shed some insight as I have a background
as a photographer/videographer.
I can't say what camera, but for pictures like this a macro lens is required
to get close in shots with tiny objects like Lego. If Mark is using a DSLR of
some kind or comparable then shooting uncompressed photos will retain sharper
images.
I can't say what filters Mark used, but a polarizer filter can help greatly
with reducing reflective / semi-reflective surfaces like Lego.
And Mark is most likely using a light box of some sort or using white surfaces
of some kind to bounce the light for even lighting/softer shadowing.
Hopefully Mark will be back to elaborate but hopefully this information is helpful
in the meantime.

Set 8163 should include tires 30.4 x 14, but without the VR designation. The wheel (345837) does not work with the 30.4 x 14 VR tire (345841). The VR tire is slightly larger on the inside. I could not locate the correct tire without the VR designation on the Bricklink site. I took a picture if you want it for verification.
I bought one complete set (372824) and it was correct, but the extra tire I bought included the VR. That's how I discovered the problem.

This set has the correct tires in it. Although, the name of the tire is misleading
since the 58090 tire does not have the "VR" designation molded on it. I will
submit a change request to have the name of the tire updated.
