Hi,

I was listing a Life on Mars alien minifig for sale in my store and I initially
thought that I had the arms attached incorrectly:

 
Minifig No: lom008 Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Centauri
* 		lom008 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Centauri
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars

However, looking at the instructions for the sets this figure comes from, it's
the picture that's wrong - the arms are attached upside-down. I can take
a picture and submit one for this minifigure, but there are others with similar
issues. I checked instructions specifically for lom008 and lom005, but not for
the others:

both upside-down:
 
Minifig No: lom005 Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Arcturus
* 		lom005 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Arcturus
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars

one upside-down, one normal:
 
Minifig No: lom009 Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Mizar
* 		lom009 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Mizar
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars

one upside-down, one normal:
 
Minifig No: lom010 Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Pollux
* 		lom010 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Pollux
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars

one upside-down, one normal:
 
Minifig No: lom011 Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Rigel
* 		lom011 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Rigel
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars

The note on

 
Set No: 9354 Name: Town Street Theme
* 		9354-1 (Inv) Town Street Theme
489 Parts, 5 Books, 1 Gear, 1991
Sets: Educational & Dacta: Town

currently reads (it is wrapped in what looks like an HTML comment):

  A sealed version of this set has been found to contain both solid stud and hollow stud minifig heads, indicating that the transition from solid to hollow stud occurred around this time."

Surely that should be "solid stud and blocked open stud minifig heads"
and "solid to blocked open stud" given that the hollow stud head was introduced
much later and the blocked open stud head appears in the sets inventory as an
alternate.

Hi,

Apologies in advance if I'm not posting this the right way. I have a

[P=40220stk01]

from

 
Set No: 40220 Name: Mini London Bus
* 		40220-1 (Inv) Mini London Bus
118 Parts, 2016
Sets: Creator: Basic Model: Traffic

with different numbers than the ones given in the catalogue entry. It is in all
other respects the same (well, the copyright date is 2017 instead of 2016):
