Thanks for your consideration...

The decision to add these sets to the catalog is not my decision. I was just
relaying information. And that information was that these "sets" have never been
accepted into the catalog, and they may never be accepted into the catalog. Meaning
that if they were to be submitted to the catalog right now, they would be rejected.
That may change in the future, but I know about as much on that as the next person.
What seller's can do is list them as custom items in their stores.

Cheers,
Randy

That's another interesting piece of the puzzle, thanks. Hopefully the OP
will read this thread and get that information.

I am still trying to figure this site out, it's not easy... is there a place
on the site I can go and see an organizational chart? And job descriptions?

Thanks, again,
James

Hi,
I recently bought a holder for trading cards, and it has a list of all the possible
cards (SW Series 2) with their numbers. Does it help if I add all the items to
the catalog? I have a few more where I will also add the images of the cards,
but in many cases, I won't.
Thanks,
Tamas

Comments from Submitter:
I opened another of these tonight to get the green 32064c that I sold before I realized I had. I found this along the way.

The part count on the box is 100 pieces, so LEGO considered more than two of
these rubber bands as regular parts. Unfortunately, I can't prove how many.

Cheers,
Randy

changes may have to do with the type of plastic used for these two parts.

2 pieces that only came in red or rust in two sets, I bought this feeling pretty
sure that they'd be the same. Not too many were made. So if we're going
to recognize the color rust, I think all of these parts are rust and not red.
They might have looked the same new, but they don't look the same now.

-=-=-

A while back I noticed I had two colors of red in 11214. I hadn't documented
it and when I got some more I didn't document it again because I just thought
it was a variation. But the darker ones are a perfect match for these rust parts.
So that's a piece that came in both colors. To repeat, I have taken rust
11214 from more than one set, but I have no way of saying which sets.

Comments from Submitter:
Sealed set, pics following

Here's the problem with the "rust" parts. Were they really meant to be what
we consider the color rust? Or are they red parts that have changed color over
time?

For example, if we see the "brittle blue" parts these days, we know they look
absolutely different to the blue parts we know and love. However, these parts
probably looked just like blue parts when they were originally released in sets.

Also, the two parts that you have here are the same two parts that have been
documented as being found in a color very close to what looks like bright light
orange but were actually supposed to be yellow. I have a feeling that these color
changes may have to do with the type of plastic used for these two parts.

It would be nice for some of the resident color experts to chime in on this one.

Cheers,
Randy

Torso should be black not variable color.

Torsos are always variable color in torso assemblies. This request will not be
accepted.

Cheers,

Okay, I was writing to ask why but just found out why it is that way clicking
some torsos

Thanks!

The parts list (via Brickset.com) from LEGO replacement parts website says one 8 tooth gear should be regular.
But why?



Because it is used in an alternate model from the CD-ROM.

(Took me some time to figure that out.)

Awesome, Jonas! I could not figure out why that part was included!

Besides Jonathan's set, I had found many images of other sealed sets showing
the gears included in the set, so I knew they had to be used for something. Nice
detective work!

Cheers,
Randy
