Set No: 40501  Name: The Wooden Duck
* 
40501-1 (Inv) The Wooden Duck
621 Parts, 2020
Sets: LEGO Brand: LEGO House

There was a presentation this weekend at the Brickworld virtual convention that
featured the LEGO House. This was one of the exclusive sets that was shown /
discussed during the session. It was mentioned that the LEGO House only reopened
June 22 and that is the only place it can be purchased.

In comparison to the original wooden toy, it is quite close in size. The bill
opens and closes as the model is pulled along.

But it's a shame that I have used all the parts for something else now.

I'm still waiting to add an inventory for Batman and Robin and a few others.
My instructuons for that Batman and Robin model has unfortunatly gotten a bit
damaged, but the parts are still sealed in the container, thank goodness.

Add Sets Members Want - A project to discuss and possibly add pickable
models, in-store builds, and other similar sets to the catalog...
Project Review: This project traveled directly from under consideration to completed.
There were no existing guidelines discussing these kinds of sets, so no policy
changes were required. Instead, after administrative discussion, the majority
were in agreement to rescind the unwritten rule that prohibited addition of these
sets.
Date first added: December 6th, 2018
Date work began: June 13th, 2020
Goal for completion: July 1st, 2020
Date actually completed: June 17th, 2020
Suggested by: Many members


Maybe this is not so complete as catmins would like to believe it is as it appears
that none of those sets are in the catalogue at this time.
Also:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1204676
seems to be voided now.

So perhaps this project should be set to under consideration again just so the
ball is not dropped and the technical issues, whatever those may be, can be addressed
before the goal date. I would dearly like to believe that BL will eventually
give members what they want.

To come back on the serif numbered bricks (3005pt{number}s) the variations in
print are due to the material (CA, ABS) and the mold pip (edge, side):

1. CA with old logo and edge mold pip (around 1958-1963). Old logo is wide straight.
2. ABS with old logo and edge mold pip (around 1963-1968). Old logo is wide round.
3. ABS with modern logo and side mold pip (around 1968-......)

See pictures.

This also explains the variantion in the print, which are in all the 3 cases
embossed. The 3005pt{number} is also embossed and the 3005pt{number}b has a surface
print.

  Within the serif numbered bricks (3005pt{number}s) I found also some difference
in the print. See picture. For example number 6: right in the picture has an
old logo on the stud and the two on the left have modern and old logo on the
stud, but I think this are just variations.

So maybe a reshuffle of the images, variantions and sets appearing is in order.
Also looking at set 237, because the bold numbered bricks could not be a alternate
for this set. The bold numbers all have a modern logo (1968) and yet in 1966
the set 237 (1960) was replaced by set 437. So the bold numbered bricks could
be a alternate for set 437, but not for set 237.

In Help, primadeluxe writes:
  I think the serif number bricks (3005pt{number}s) should be appear in the 3 sets
487, 437 and 237 and not the ones which are know appearing (3005pt{number}).
Looking at the pictures of these sets, it would make sence, also because the
serif bricks have both the modern logo (appears in 1968) and old logo (appears
in 1958) on the studs.

The number bricks of my picture only have the modern logo on the stud and from
which sets they are I do not know. I have looked at a lot of pictures of sets
with numbered bricks, but did not find one with the bricks on my picture. So
they could easely be the 3005pt{number} bricks.

  The images in the inventory of part 3005pt9s and 3005pt9 do look a lot the same.
Is there any difference between them or has one just the wrong image?

In Help, primadeluxe writes:
  Thanks! Left is 3005pt9b, right is 3005pt9s, but the middle one? Does not look
the same as 3005pt9?

Hello,

Maybe this helps?

Greetings Edwin

 
Part No: 3005pt9b  Name: Brick 1 x 1 with Blue Number 9 Pattern (Bold Font)
* 
3005pt9b Brick 1 x 1 with Blue Number 9 Pattern (Bold Font)
Parts: Brick, Decorated
is the bold font (NL: 'vetgedrukt' ) as in the left in your
picture,
 
Part No: 3005pt9s  Name: Brick 1 x 1 with Blue Number 9 Pattern (Serif Font)
* 
3005pt9s Brick 1 x 1 with Blue Number 9 Pattern (Serif Font)
Parts: Brick, Decorated
is the serif font (NL: 'met schreef' ) as in the right in
your picture.
 
Part No: 3005pt9  Name: Brick 1 x 1 with Blue Number 9 Pattern
* 
3005pt9 Brick 1 x 1 with Blue Number 9 Pattern
Parts: Brick, Decorated
is neither bold nor with serif, so must be the middle one in your
picture. It's image is a render, not a photo. This may explain why it looks
differently. Looking at the part numbering, it may have originally been intended
as the non-distinguished variety, but seeing your picture, it must be the plain
(thin) variety.
Can you upload your image as an additional image for these parts? I think it
is enlightening to see the bricks side by side for comparison.

347-1 (Inv) Fire Station with Mini Cars
189 Parts, 1970
Sets: LEGOLAND: Fire

* Add 1 Part 3189a Red Door 1 x 3 x 2 Left with Thin Handle (Alternate)
* Add 1 Part 3188a Red Door 1 x 3 x 2 Right with Thin Handle (Alternate)

Comments from Submitter:
I am not sure if this set just came with these doors with thin handles, as the set has at least been issued twice (one with FTPine and one with GTPine). That is why I submit the doors with thin handles as a alternate, because these are in the set I bought as a child. Or was it a birthdaypresent? Hahaha!

Just like the other sets that have had the doors replaced, there is a very strong
possibility that this set never had the thick-handled doors.

Instead of adding these doors as alternates, I am going to put them in the Regular
Items section since they chronologically came before the doors with thick handles.
I am also going to remove the thick-handled doors from the inventory. If someone
can later prove that this set ever came with thick-handled doors, then those
can be readded as alternates to the thin-handled versions.

Cheers,
Randy
