Comments from Submitter:
This is my first change request, so I apologize if I've filled this incorrectly. The inventory lists 2x 35463 (white) but it should be 2x 15070 (white). I have the set here in front of me, and the instructions also show the proper piece.

Thanks for catching this.
Here is also a review from sealed set content

The inventory here was from sealed set contents, also, and you were the one who
approved the inventory. Did you contact Jean (member bje) to see what part they
really had? It obviously could have been an easy mistake, but maybe they had
the other part by chance?

Can you please tell me where in the instructions you see this part used? I don't
see it in the instructions that I am looking at.
One of the beams off of the front mast was redesigned between set 6289-1 and
6290-1. In 6289-1, the beam uses

The development team at BrickLink updated the Inventory Change Request form about
a week ago. Unfortunately, while they tried to make the form more friendly and
less confusing, they also broke the form for making changes to items. I have
been told they are working to get it fixed, but I have no idea when it will be.
For now, I can just add the Match IDs manually.

This set was originally inventoried from "Parts List", and the thin string was
added as an alternate pretty quickly after the inventory was created (just a
few months). Also, some basic errors were corrected just a few days after the
inventory was submitted.
With that information, and the fact that we can see the thin string version in
sealed set contents, I think it is pretty safe to say that the thin string version
was always the correct one. I am going to remove the medium string completely
once your changes are accepted.
Cheers,
Randy
|
Also, the images from that sealed set with the thin string also show all of the
older versions of the other parts that are currently listed as having alternates.
Therefore, that set is probably close to an original production run and that
makes me even more confident that the thin string was always included from the
beginning.
Cheers,
Randy

Hey Fred!

Hi Randy,
All wires and connectors came assembled except few service packs in 80s like
1135-1, 1135-2, 1135-3, 5065-1,... but the image on the packaging or in the catalogs
for these service packs clearly shows that the connectors came separate however
the image of 5061-1, 5063-1, 702-3 shows the connectors and wires came pre-assembled
(since the purpose of these service packs were different).
AI don't know why all the wires and connectors were listed separate. I changed
many of them coming with sets like 7860,... Maybe these were copied from Peeron?
I think we can list all connectors and their wires assembled unless if we have
a proof that they did not come assembled.
|
+1
For me too, exept services packs, we have a good chance that the cable came assembled.
To assemble the connector you need a precision screwdrivers and (very) basic
knowledge how to connect wire.
Not everybody have precision screwdrivers at home.
The connector have 3 wires with only 2 colors, so you need to connect both connectors
the same way 
-Fred
|
I discussed this with Stefaan, since he had confirmed the set years ago from
"Sealed Set Contents" (even though the set was probably not ever "sealed"). He
had the wire and connectors all together, and he told me that it was customary
years ago on BrickLink to separate these wires into their smallest components
in the inventories. Therefore, these changes will be accepted. Thanks for all
the help, guys!
Cheers,
Randy

Marek and I took the time to research this with input from multiple people, and
we have come to the conclusion that uncertainty remains about this set.
The set was inventoried from sealed set contents, so it is hard to believe that
the original submitter of the inventory would make such large mistakes. Also,
the only proof that something may be different is the images of the set. These
images are not always correct on promotional items, and these sets were not factory
packaged. Therefore it is easy to come to the conclusion that alternate parts
may have been substituted in some sets or have had different parts from the images
altogether.
For now, the inventory will remain as is and these requests will be rejected.
BrickLink inventories come with a disclaimer that they are not guaranteed to
be accurate, so I think what we currently have is going to come as close to accurate
as it can be for now.
Cheers,
Randy

Does anyone in the USA have set #5591 in an original box to reference for me?
I have an original box coming in the mail and the photos show the insert is white,

Just wondering if I/ they have the wrong insert tray, or if there is perhaps
a US/Europe variation on the color. The configuration of the trays looks identical
to me, so I really don't think its the wrong insert tray.
Thanks in advance.

I can't tell. They were found in used bricks I bought. According to BrickLink:
1984-2018 (timeline of 4624 wheel).

Hi
Yes they are factory pre-assembled wheels.
The first ones that came out were glued or pressed together.
Same for the 3464c02 and 4624c01 and 4624c02.
(from 1984-85 till I think begin 90s)
Also same for the first 6015 type with the 6014a.
The rubber is also harder, the assembles are softer in rubber.
Stefaan

Thank you for the wonderful information, Stefaan. I learned something new today!
I am sorry if you ruined many wheel/tire combos due to my lack of information,
Jan.

No. The preassembled wheels pop right off of the tires just like ones you would
put together yourself.

Trying to find a difference, I just disassembled one of the ones that is hard
to disassemble (I needed a pen to pop the wheel out by using force). Testing
against one of my regular 4624 tires, there is an obvious difference: The rubber
is harder (they require more force to squeeze), which explains why it's harder
to disassemble them from the wheels.
Has anyone noticed a difference in material used for the 4624 tires through time?

Never heard of or seen any.
The parts in your image definitely look like they have been "glued" using some
sort of solvent that "melts" the exterior of an ABS part (in this case, the wheels).
I would guess methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or something similar.

Yep. I only see two of them used in the instructions for the main model and the
alternate model. The third one was probably an extra part.
Request accepted.
However, there is something odd going on with this set. The part count on the

Reza -
Marek and I have both looked over and studied all of your research. After that,
we had a discussion concerning all of it and we have reached a conclusion. At
this time, we are not going to make any changes to this inventory concerning
the motors.
I know you have spent a lot of time researching this topic, and your research
is very thorough and much appreciated. I think Marek and I both learned quite
a bit.
However, and this is the sticking point, all of your research still comes with
assumptions that are being made. All of the sets provided as evidence were still
second-hand sets that were not in the hands of the original owners. If we had
one original owner come forward and say, "I owned this copy of this train
set all my life, I never mixed it with anything, and it does have the older motor.",
then we would have no problem accepting this request. But, we don't. What
we have is someone trying to put together a picture that may not be correct even
if it seems to be correct.
What I will do is add an inventory note to the set that states it *may* have
come with the earlier motor due to some research that has been done, but it is
not guaranteed.
Thanks,
Randy

Minifig inventories cannot have alternate items, so a request such as this cannot
be handled by the form. Due to this, this request will be rejected. However,
the changes you were looking to make have been handled to the best of our abilities
at this time by adding an inventory note to the minifig and adding the alternate
head to the set.
As Marek stated in response to your other request similar to this, the next time
you find a situation like this, you can just post a message to the "Inventory"
topic of the BrickLink forums instead of making a formal Inventory Change Request.
Cheers,
Randy

BrickLink has not had an official Catalog Admin since January 10.
Since then, the catalog overseer at BrickLink - Admin_Russell - has been filling
in for the duties when he can, but he has a lot of other stuff on his plate.
Until BrickLink gets a new Catalog Admin, the backlog will continue to grow.

There is no doubt that 11l should be in regular section and 10l in counterparts
because it is permanently changed during the building. In my opinion I think
I would treat 1l as "waste" similary to sprues and not add it to the counterpart
section.

Thanks, Marek. I am glad that we agree.
Jan, please go ahead and submit the proper change requests to have the 11L hoses
as Regular Items and the 10L hoses as Counterparts. Also, very nice catch!

We do not usually accept change requests based upon box images or instructions
alone, as the box images or instructions can sometimes show completely different
parts than what actually came in the set.
Therefore, without further evidence I would have rejected this request.
Luckily though, I found a YouTube review for this set by BrickLink member go4bob
that shows him reviewing his original set that was originally sealed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GGX_e6O12o
Member go4bob had already requested to have the extras of this set added to the
inventory in October of 2017:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=6330-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1
The set in his review does indeed have the Trans-Dark Blue windscreen for the
helicopter.
The only thing that I am now not sure of is if the Trans-Light Blue windscreen
ever came in any of the sets. I found some used sets for sale that did have Trans-Light
Blue windscreens, but they could have been parted together by sellers from the
current BrickLink inventory.
Since go4bob's set review agrees with the instructions and box, I believe
this request to be correct.
If someone comes forward with good evidence of the Trans-Light Blue windscreen
in the future, it can be added as an alternate.
Cheers,
Randy

In set
the hoses are 11L in sealed sets. But the instructions require the builder to
cut 1L off them (see page 39), so that they are 10L. So when selling a used set,
including 10L hoses should be okay. Also, two 1L hoses could be added to make
the set 100% complete.

That would not be necessary as the 1L hoses could be considered waste like the
leftover plastic from plastic sheets, the sprues left over from parts on a sprue,
etc. The 10L hoses would make the used set complete.

set.

Right now, I only see 10L hoses in the set. Was that a typo?

This part is in the invetory of this set already in quantity of 18 and it is

Hi Randy,
The only reason I've kept Pearl Light Gray in is because I have seen an image
of the part in that colour (see the image just submitted for PLG) and that is
the original inventory
I've submitted a new image for LBG as well and if the consensus is that it
is the more common variation than maybe PLG should be marked as the alternate.
There seem to be a few DUPLO parts where lego has alternated between PLG and
LBG during the run of a set.
Cheers,
Mark

Thanks for the information, Mark. That image that you submitted for PLG definitely
looks like PLG, so I will move ahead with this request.
I bet that
might have also come in PLG at some point then.

The part you are trying to change is a part that comes with two 4073 Plate,
Round 1 x 1 on a sprue:
[p=4073c01]
If you multiply the five of this part in the inventory times the two
4073 Plate, Round 1 x 1 on each sprue, you end up with ten 4073 Plate,

Therefore, the inventory is correct as it stands since it has the required parts

There is a reason for the multiple entries, and that reason is because LEGO made

To make changes like this, I need to have convincing evidence, since the inventories
were originally submitted to BrickLink by a prior Inventory Administrator.
Were all of your sets purchased new by you or used? If they were new, did
you build the sets yourself and have the pieces of them always remained separate
from other sets?

My sets were purchased used - so I have no proof as such. Sorry.
If I google for pictures of this set, I get approximately 50% with this plate
in green and 50% with bright green. My sets have the bright green tile - but
in theory they could have been replaced.

Thank you for responding to my PM so quickly!
Yep, that is what I was finding as far as used sets, also. Unfortunately, I can't
really say for sure if this was a true alternate or not. It feels to me like
it easily could have been, but I don't want to change the inventory based
on just a feeling. Hopefully, someone with better evidence will come along eventually.
For now, I will have to reject this request.

What is your source for making this request?
Thanks,
Randy

I got a new set, opened, but complete with this number off bricks. For example
with this changes this set will have the same number off bricks as set 987 (numbers,
52 parts)

Thank you for responding so quickly to my PM!
This is exactly what I needed to know.
Cheers,

Comments from Submitter:
This item is shown in a photo in the Klutz book of each of the included parts and is labeled "huge rubber band." (See Bricklink image of Item B100)
|
The part you are trying to add is much smaller than the huge rubber band in this
book. In fact, it is not a rubber band at all. It's a rubber belt.
There is a note at the bottom of the inventory page for this book which states:
"Incomplete. Missing huge rubber band shown on parts list."
Upon looking, this huge rubber band is not in the BrickLink catalog, so the inventory
for now will remain incomplete.
This request will be rejected.

| The minifigs listed as Counterparts in any of these sets should not have been

For example: "Torso Pharaoh's Quest Tan Waistcoat, White Shirt, Bandolier

"Torso Monster Fighters with Ammunition Belt Pattern / Dark Tan Arms / Yellow

I believe that if this were the case, there would be many, many more nearly similar
parts in our catalog. 
Sellers have to be able to identify which part they have in hand with no more
then the text and image for reference. There needs to be some detail that isn't
subjective.
Jen

Photos side by side of both of them, on left sw0530 from 2014, on right sw0993
from 2019. Differences are very elusive. White lines of printing are thiner,
especially on front emblem and on shoulders.

That simply looks like a print fidelity difference. This happens with many parts.
The printing can change as the equipment wears down, the printing can change
as advances are made in printing technology, the printing can change with part
alignment during the printing process, etc.
In other words, looks like the same minifig to me.

| | Quite unfortunate, as this creates far more headaches for sellers parting it
out, creating potential inventory shortages. Perhaps there is another way to

quantities of these released sets exist.

This argument has come up time and time again on BrickLink. The information in
the BrickLink inventories is meant to be used as a guide and is not guaranteed
to be correct. In fact, there is a disclaimer at the bottom of every inventory
page:
"Disclaimer: BrickLink does not guarantee an inventory to be correct and
therefore an inventory should be only used as a guide."
It is up to each seller when parting out a set using the provided BrickLink inventories
to ensure that their store inventories are correct. In other words, the argument
you are putting forth for the Extra Items section in a BrickLink inventory can
just as easily apply to all of the other sections of said inventory. What if
the Regular Items section of the BrickLink inventory contains errors? Do you
just blindly accept that it is completely right when parting out the set or do
you actually check your stock?
As you can see by the number of Inventory Change Requests that come through the
forums, there are always errors in BrickLink inventories being fixed. If sellers
are not careful when using the BrickLink inventories, then *any* errors in them
get passed on to their store inventories, whether it be parts in the wrong color,
part shortages, part overages, wrong part variants, etc. So you can see that
the same exact logic applies to every section of the BrickLink inventories including
the Extra Items section.
| | How do I/can I challenge the original accepted inventory entry? Again, based
on these pieces, I've NEVER come across these specific parts as extras in
any other Lego sets...
|
What exactly do you want to challenge? The pieces were found as extras in some
sets and not in others. Therefore, they meet the BrickLink definition of an Extra
Item as far as the BrickLink inventories are concerned and they will not be removed.
You may also want to look at the history of the parts you are discussing to see
what has occurred with them in the past.
has appeared as an extra in 41 sets to date. I have personally confirmed quite
a few of those sets from sealed set contents, so I have seen them as extra parts
a number of times.
has appeared as an extra in 30 sets to date. I have not personally confirmed
any of those sets, but I do trust the members that added those parts as extras
(which just so happen to include our other current Inventory Admin as well as
admin Russell at BrickLink headquarters).
| | Anyone else out these experience this error?
|
As stated above, these extras are not errors in the BrickLink inventory. They
are just the data as is. You were just one of the unlucky ones to not get more
extra pieces in your set.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,
Randy

I have now had tree sets where this plate were "bright green". When I google
I can find pictures of more sets like mine.
Thanks

To make changes like this, I need to have convincing evidence, since the inventories
were originally submitted to BrickLink by a prior Inventory Administrator.
Were all of your sets purchased new by you or used? If they were new, did
you build the sets yourself and have the pieces of them always remained separate
from other sets?
Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:
This minifig has brown (not black) hair in all the sets of 5895 I have seen.

So you are trying to replace the figure in the inventory with black hair with
a figure that has brown hair?
The correct way to do that would be to ask for a change in the inventory from
one figure to another. The request you are asking for here would add the same
exact figure to the inventory that is already in the inventory. Therefore, this
request does not solve the problem and will be rejected.
However, you have brought up an issue that needs looking into.
According to the packaging and set instructions, the figure should have brown
hair. When I look through the BrickLink catalog, I do not see a figure like this
with brown hair, only black hair. So that is question number one: Is there a
figure like this that actually exists with brown hair? If there is (and your
request as well as the instructions and packaging suggests so), then we hit the
next step: The figure with brown hair would need to be added to the BrickLink
catalog because it does not currently exist in the catalog. After that, we would
finally reach the question that concerns the set inventory: Which figure came
in this set originally? The one with black hair, the one with brown hair, or
one of them sometimes and the other one sometimes?
I don't know if I will be able to find enough information to answer and solve
all of these issues, but I will try.
Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:
On the picture of the set, the bad Guy is on the motor, wearing a back-pack. The back-pack isn’t in the inventory

As Fred already states in a prior message, part
in Dark Tan is already included in
[m=cty203]
which is in the inventory.
You can verify this by clicking on the "Break Minifigs" hyperlink near the top
of the inventory page to see all of the minifig parts listed with the rest of
the parts of the inventory.
Since the set inventory is correct concerning this part, this request will
be rejected.

in instructions there is a number 4538724 and that is not 6.6L bar, but only 6L bar

As Stefaan already states in a prior message, part

However, I cannot find any sealed set or used set photos that actually show part

For now, the inventory will be left as is, so this request will be rejected.

Parted out a new sealed set, this item was not extra, only 2 in total in the box

From the Additional Information About Extra Items section of the Inventory
Sections: Regular, Extra, Counterpart, and Alternate help page:
Removing or Changing Extra Items - Extra parts can vary depending on when
and where a set was manufactured, meaning that some new sets may include them
and others may not. The quantity of these extra parts can also vary. Extra parts
are typically not removed or reduced in quantity unless it can be determined
that they were originally added or increased in error.
This extra part was found in some sealed copies of this set so it will not be
removed.

I am, too, but it takes time to search out all of the evidence.

was in a large lot, but only one metallic silver cone WITH groove was found.
All pictures on Brickshelf show the cone with groove, but they don't show
any sealed bags, so I can't document that they're sealed sets and therefore
probably can't convince anyone to accept a change to change the cone or
allow the grooved variant as alternate. But my guess is that the set never came
with ungrooved variant like it's shown in the product image.
|
I can't find an image of one of those sets with the old style either, but
it does not mean it didn't ever come with one. I am almost tempted to buy
a sealed set to check it out...

* Change 1 Part Pearl Light Gray {48729 Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw to 48729b Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw, Cut Edges and Hole on Side}
Comments from Submitter:
The current picture doesn't correspond with the part type. The bar has a hole in the picture (part 48729b). So what's the correct thing to do? Change the inventory, change the picture, or allow both types by adding a note? I have not found evidence that warrant changing the picture or adding a note. In fact, I'm not even sure that part 48729 exists in PLG. Only a few sellers that claim to have it. I have never seen the part in PLG, not even in lots that contain this torso. Noone has been able to supply a photo of it either. But there is evidence of 48729b in this minifig. Unboxing can be found here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3198401
I therefore request an inventory change. If this is approved, I think minifig agt016 should be changed also.
|
My minifig also has the newer style clip, so I have a feeling this part does
not exist in PLG in the older style.
Here is what I think happened. The torso above was added to the catalog in 2008,
and the member who supplied the image is the same person who submitted the torso
to the catalog. Therefore, I believe that the image for the torso is the original
image submitted with the torso. The newer style clip was not added to the catalog
until 2010, so this torso entry could not have had the newer style added to it
in 2008. Once the newer style clip was added to the catalog, no one ever went
back and adjusted this minifigure and the corresponding inventories.
I think this change is correct based on all of the evidence I have at my disposal.
Request accepted.
Cheers,
Randy
