| Hi!
I collect all kinds of bricks and parts, and the goal of my collection is to
have 1 of every colour of every type of brick/part/element. So for example, 1
of every colour of part 3021. But the problem I keep coming across is that when
I go on a catalog page for a part, often there are many more colour variants
for sale than there are colours that are known. For example, going back to part
3021, I know for a fact that there is a pearl light grey colour variant because
I own one, and yet it is not listed as a known colour. Other people are also
selling part 3021 in pearl light grey so I don't know why it isn't a
known colour.
Can someone please explain to me why there is very frequently a difference between
the colours for sale and the known colours? I appreciate that occasionally a
seller might misidentify a colour (e.g. sell it as Medium Nougat when it is actually
Nougat), and that even less occasionally there might be some fakes entering circulation
on the market, but surely this doesn't account for the many catalog items
lacking known colours when they are for sale? It is making it very difficult
as a collector to know if I should purchase colours that are for sale but are
not "known" in case they are not genuine or are mislabelled.
All opinions appreciated.
Many thanks,
Lucas

| Absolutely fantastic, case closed! I really appreciate your help, you must be
an expert at searching these catalogues because that was quick and puts me to
shame!
But seriously, thanks for your help because now I can label it up and put it
on my display.
You have a great day ok?
Many thanks
Lucas

| Hi there,
I have now opened it to check and can confirm it is a hollow stud. Here is a
photo of the top of the head, and I've added one of the back of the figure
just in case it's of any use.
All the best,
Lucas

| Hi Randy, thank you for your response!
Here is a photo of the minifigure in the mechanical pencil pack - (please let
me know if the photo doesn't upload to the message properly as I will resend
it). Also if you want me to remove it from the box to check anything, that's
fine as I plan on doing this in order to display it anyway.
All the best
Lucas

| Hi,
I am a minifigure collector and bought the mechanical pencil (52603) when i was
in the Lego Store because it came with a minifigure i didnt have. However since
coming home and searching on Bricklink on the page for 52603, it doesn't
actually have a link to the minifigure page (where it says what the item contains,
it just says N/A). Does anyone know the Bricklink reference number for this minifigure
or have a web link to its page?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

| There is a recently created category called "Arctic Technic", but this isn't
a category in its own right because there is already a subcategory called "Arctic
Technic" under the category "Technic". There is only one minifigure in this duplicate
category, which is tech003a. This is incorrect because tech003a is a variation
of the minifig tech003 (tech003a is the same minifig but with a helmet) and tech003
is in the subcategory of "Arctic Technic" under "Technic".
I am requesting that the duplicated category of "Arctic Technic" as a main category
be deleted, and that the tech003a minifigure is moved to the subcategory "Arctic
Technic" under the category "Technic".
