Most are golden like in the picture, but a few are more reddish gold.
Is this a normal variation?
Thanks,
Maxx

Yes, I think so. I have some that are almost a copper colour.

and so on.
These sets contain 16 tiles, 14 of which are random. Shouldn't the random
ones have been blurred out so as not to mislead buyers.

As they're official LEGO images, I don't think it's inappropriate
to use them (and is similar to what is shown on DOTS as there is some randomness
there too), but we should definitely have a note on all VIDIYO Bandmates and
Beat Boxes stating that there are the 1/2 exclusive tiles, and all others are
random. Without the warning we will definitely have issues with buyers not understanding
why it doesn't match.
|
The ones that are random could be blurred once the submitter has checked inventory
to avoid confusion. One of the things often said here is you get what is in the
image. That is no longer the case.
|
We do not change official LEGO images that are used to show the sets. The set
inventories will contain information about the randomness of the tiles.
|
OK, as long as there is some way of doing it to avoid complaints.

| | | How so? The "Bar" category includes pieces such as Part (48729b), Part (32828),
Part (92690), Part (58176), as well as bar-based elements such as Parts (4083)
and (6020), so Part (36017) would fit in easily as something like "Bar 1L with
Top Stud and Dragon Head".
* | | 48729b Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw - Cut Edges and Hole on Side
Parts: Bar |
* | | 32828 Bar 1L with 1 x 1 Round Plate with Hollow Stud
Parts: Bar |
* | | 92690 Bar 1L with Top Stud and 2 Side Studs (Connector Perpendicular)
Parts: Bar |
* | | 58176 Bar with Light Bulb Cover (Bionicle Barraki Eye)
Parts: Bar |

So the phone should remain a bar too, as that has a small section of bar and
is used for other things than a minifigure utensil.
These are very rarely used as propellers
perhaps they should also be in the bar section, as they have a bar component.
They are commonly used as large figure weapons and wings, so are in a similar
situation as lightsaber hilts when it comes to multiple uses.
If and wherever all these items are moved to, it will mean that for everyone
that can now find them quicker, it takes others much longer to find them. It
seems the catalogue is almost being re-written with many pieces subject to changes.
I hope all sellers (and buyers) are informed and not just through the forum before
any wholesale changes are made.
