they were calling it Metallic Silver, but I don't know.


According to LEGO, they are Flat Silver:

And they wouldn't match other parts in ABS due to the material used to make
the hoses.

Thanks!

I've been wondering, and please don't take this as any kind of criticism
of how our catalog is being run, but why aren't sets inventoried here faster?
Are we still depending on users to inventory the sets? With Lego owning Bricklink,
I thought the inventory lists would be updated almost at release, either by
Lego supplying a part list, or supplying actual sets for verification.

Hi Jed!

No offense taken. These are just some of the reasons why inventories here have
to be done by individuals:

- LEGO does not include sticker sheets in their data.
- LEGO does not include defined minifigure assemblies in their data.
- LEGO does not include information about extra parts in their data.
- LEGO does not care about what part variants are really in the set.
- LEGO does not name or categorize new parts how BrickLink does.
- LEGO does not name new patterned parts in any way.

And there are more.

BrickLink prides itself on having the most accurate inventories possible, and
that will always include actual users doing inventories. There are some things
we are trying to do behind the scenes to speed up the process, but those are
in the works.

Cheers,
Randy

  Please add the alternate number "28922" to part 90509. I have it in hand, and
28922 is molded into it.

Thanks,
Miles (C0lsanders_)

 
Part No: 90509  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (47mm Long)
* 
90509 Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (47mm Long)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil


The skis with numbers 28922 and 18744 are 1mm longer in length than mold number
90509, 48mm to 47mm, respectively. Although the three have their studs in the
same location from the rear of the ski, the hand ridges are slightly higher up
and the pointed ends are longer on the newer molds.

I will consider a split of this part into 90509 and 18744/28922.

Cheers,
Randy


This part has been split into two more distinct entries.

New entries:
 
Part No: 90509  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (47mm Long)
* 
90509 Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (47mm Long)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil
 
Part No: 18744  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (48mm Long)
* 
18744 Minifigure, Utensil Ski 6L (48mm Long)
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil

Cheers,
Randy
