| | Hi, I've got this bionicle-mask and I'm wondering what color it is.
I'm guessing copper but I'm not sure...I don't have anything else
in that color.
When I'm looking at the color info for this part (Item no: 32571) I can choose
from copper and metallic gold, it seems too dark for gold. On the picture it
is next to pearl gold and reddish brown.
What do you think?? Thanks!

Having had both colors at one point, I believe it to be Copper... though I would
just use the photo you took, crop it down, and use it in your listing for the
item so any Buyer would be aware that it is the actual item.
The Bionicle part colors have always been tough to identify... that reminds me
of a bag of Zamor Spheres I still need to identify, sort, and add to my inventory;
which may just drive me insane...

Part of the problem is buyers keep buying from sellers with relatively poor feedback,
suggesting (some) buyers don't care.

I think it’s more a “it won’t happen to me” attitude.
Remember HouseOfLogo (and what a real mess it was).

I 'memba that member... they gave many Buyers quite the wild ride...

| | Happy day The time that is spent differentiating between mold variants is
certainly not worth it money-wise, but worth it in other ways.
A customer purchased some classic 2555's. Apparently we still sent two different
variants to him. Sure, most of the older parts have various mini-differences,
just never thought anyone would actually care about getting a specific variant.
Either way, I was not aware of this particular difference.
Our customer described it as 'The wider ones and the narrower ones' and
sent us a picture, circling the different variants. A bit hard to see, I am attaching
one more.
The difference itself is in the sharpness of the outside/inside edges - the very
tops the clips. Principally kind of similar to the difference between classic
and modern 2555, except much more subtle. Difficult to judge if looking at the
edge itself, but becomes easy when comparing from the top view. At least when
you have two pieces to compare
The left one has, call it, completely sharp edge. The right one has a slight
roundness to it. That rounding comes at a cost of reducing the top surface area
of the clip.
Complete list of the differences between the two:
The 'flat top' type:
* Sharper edge / bigger top surface area of the clip
* mold pip on a side
* now looking from yet another side, the sidewall of the clip is completely straight
in all dimensions - does not get narrower towards the top and forms a straight
rectangle (the last picture)
The 'slightly slightly rounded top'
* Slightly rounded top edge of the clip, reduced flat surface area of the top
* mold pip at the bottom
* sidewall is of slightly concave shape - forms a trapezoid
Some more differences, but only concerns the construction of the mold and the
ejection pins placement.
Question(s).
1 - How many of you have/have not noticed this particular difference before?
Curious.
2 - any other different classic 2555s than these two?
|
I'd say it's pretty commonly known; the squared-top kind are the older
type, whereas the rounded-top kind are newer (the catalog entry has a note indicating
the difference)...
I actually keep the two types separated in my inventory in anticipation of a
new entry for each--which will likely never happen--but having each type
together really helps me to give a Buyer the same type whenever they buy any.

| | That being said, it is sort of pointless to have a hundred themed categories
for parts. In thinking about it, I do honestly think that a Bellville part is
an oversized part specifically for that theme, but is that reasonably obvious
from the present definition? Also, for instance, back to the ball discussion,
I think Bionicle fans (*), would prefer Bionicle weapons to be under the Bionicle
theme, provided we clearly define what is a part for the Bionicle theme category
of parts.
(*) I only found out yesterday that this was one of TLG's most successful
themes ever. Grrr I am on intensive learning curve here after 10 years

Did you also learn that Bionicle was pretty much the theme that saved LEGO from
bankruptcy?
People love to hate on it, but without Bionicle, the modern company may have
never existed as it does now. Personally, I love the theme, and I love a toy
company that is constantly trying out new things.
Cheers,
Randy

This has always fascinated me... I have a fond appreciation for the Bionicle
theme nowadays, but I was a little too old to care about them much when they
initially came out (though my younger brothers loved them!)... & if TLG had never
tried to hit that market of "story-based, buildable action figures" for the young
men crowd, they never would have realized how successful it was going to be...
of course, then TLG got a little cocky about it and introduced Galidor not
long after the initial Bionicle success; so there can be drawbacks from trying
new things occasionally...
