Set No: 6370  Name: Weekend Home

167 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1985
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Building

* Delete 2 Part 4073 Trans-Yellow Plate, Round 1 x 1

The owner of this set confirmed that his set comes with only one sprue but we
can see on one of the alternate models three 1*1 round bricks. See photos attached.

It almost looks like one of those two 1x1 plates on the light is a trans-clear
instead of trans-yellow. It's too hard to tell though.

Comments from Submitter:
The baseplate 6100pb01 appeared only on the instructions. It does not exist. I contacted the two sellers selling them, and one of them checked and confirmed he has 6100pb02. The other didn't reply yet.
No 6100pb01 has been sold for the last 6 months.
I checked about 50 copies of the set 6382 in various markets but the baseplate were always 6100pb02.

I have a sealed copy of this set, but I don't know when it was produced.
What exactly is the difference between the 2 baseplate versions? I may be able
to check mine tonight when I get home.

Hi Josh,

Compare the white lines:
https://img.bricklink.com/ItemImage/PN/9/6100px2.png

http://www.peeron.com/scans/6382-1/3

ButI believe the one on the instructions does not exist. For the last 15 years,
nobody added any photo of it on BL, none is sold, none is find... it should be
just a prototype, but never produced for the market.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, my copy of the set is still shrink-wrapped,
so I can't check the baseplate to make sure.

  The other thing, pertinent to the current thread, would be a decent glossary.
That alone ought to help sort out or crystallize concepts relative to language
(plates vs tiles) and other concepts.

A glossary would be a huge help, I imagine. I frequent a number of communities
that have people with varying knowledge of LEGO parts and it's interesting
seeing some of the names they have for various parts. The handful I can remember
easily:
Plates - 'bricks', 'short bricks', 'shorts'
Tiles - 'plates', 'flats'
Wedge - 'wing'
slopes - 'angles'

It would be nice to be able to have a page where someone can search for the term
they are used to and see what the 'official' term is.

  That is what I am in the long process of doing right now with the sorting. Sounds
like I either "donate" them or list them accordingly when I get to that point.
My other idea is to simply put all these "rejects" into a giant tub for any little
ones to come over so they can mess around with them instead of wanting to mess
around in my new inventory.

I tried to "un-yellow" some whites with moderate success using the Oxi-clean/hydrogen
peroxide mix in the sun. I am afraid over time though they seem to simply revert
back to being discolored. A small batch of whites I tried it on and the some
white pieces from one of my old sets were nice again afterward but now seeing
after a couple years again, they don't look so good as I recall.

Another option for you may be to just list it as a custom item in your store,
a bulk lot of light gray bricks.

I'd actually be interested in some photos to see what you're talking
about, since I am having a hard time understanding the differences from the description.

I can't tell. They were found in used bricks I bought. According to BrickLink:
1984-2018 (timeline of 4624 wheel).

Hi

Yes they are factory pre-assembled wheels.

The first ones that came out were glued or pressed together.
Same for the 3464c02 and 4624c01 and 4624c02.
(from 1984-85 till I think begin 90s)
Also same for the first 6015 type with the 6014a.

The rubber is also harder, the assembles are softer in rubber.


Stefaan

Were these only glued in certain regions? This time frame was the heyday of my
LEGO collecting as a child, but I can't ever recall seeing glued wheels (and
I took *everything* apart). I only ever bought sets from the US though.

Do you happen to recall any specific sets that would have had glued wheels? I
have a ton of sealed sets from this era and would like to try and see if any
of them might be glued.

Well, that sure does shoot half my argument down, doesn't it?

I still think changing from an unnamed to named character is enough of a change
to warrant a new set, but I appear to the in the minority.

  There are lot of sets with changed art on boxes (redesigned) without second
entry
for example
 
Set No: 75053  Name: The Ghost
* 
75053-1 (Inv) The Ghost
914 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2014
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Rebels
 
Set No: 75101  Name: First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter
* 
75101-1 (Inv) First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter
501 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2015
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 7

In both cases images on box were changed when those sets were redesign. The Ghost
case is exactly the same as current the Bomber case. Kanan in first run copies
had black hair and on the box of set it is also with black hair and head printing,
but LEGO in this case very quickly realised about mistake and changed Kanan to
brown hair and head print, changing minifg on box to brown Kanan.
In second case due to redesign, change is visible in construction of Tie on box,
two box arts then exists before redesign and after.
Don't remember now any more. But when it will be decided to create second
entry for 75188 then second entries for those two sets must be created also for
consistency.
When reading commentaries on the web I wonder how many pepole are suprised by
this change, it really nothing special as you see LEGO done this before. Almost
nobody remember Kanan case. But Kanan isn't popular minifigs, Rebels cartoon
weren't such a hype. Lego even stop producing Rebels sets after third seson
and never done sets from last fourth season.
 
Minifig No: sw0577  Name: Kanan Jarrus - Black Hair and Eyebrows
* 
sw0577 (Inv) Kanan Jarrus - Black Hair and Eyebrows
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Rebels
 
Minifig No: sw0602  Name: Kanan Jarrus - Dark Brown Hair and Eyebrows
* 
sw0602 (Inv) Kanan Jarrus - Dark Brown Hair and Eyebrows
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Rebels

List of redesigned sets:
https://brickset.com/sets/list-18333

I disagree that the Ghost case is the exact same as the Bomber. The Ghost kept
the same minifig, just changed the hair color to be more accurate to the source
material. The bomber change went from an unnamed pilot to a named character.
I realize that it's a 1 piece change (hair) compared to 2 (helmet, head),
but the context of changing to a named character that more accurately represents
the actual actor in the source material should add additional weight to the decision
on whether or not a second variation of the set is warranted. Considering
the possibility of confusion with people expecting one version of the character
or the other, it would seem like adding the alternate set number would be an
easy way to alleviate that problem in the future.

I'm not sure what the box change was for the TIE Fighter, so can't comment
on that.

(There might still be problems though. Say, a buyer parts out a set into a WL,
they are asked if they allow other variants, they accept because they think it
will be cheaper and easier to fullfil, but the set really can only be built with
the one variant )


This part is the one that would potentially cause issues. Things like the variations
of 3933/3934 that can cause parts to physically not attach in some scenarios.
That's the first I can think of just because I've experienced it in the
past.

Not only would this generate revenue for Bricklink by increased sales, it would

Bricklink has done so much to build the AFOL community and it has become a verb
within our vocabulary (much like Google has in the general population). It would
be a sad irony if the sets created by Bricklink to celebrate AFOLs cannot be
Bricklinked by AFOLs.

From what I understand from reading about these sets, these aren't going
to be officially recognized LEGO sets. If that's the case, I don't feel
like they belong in the catalog. Someone will post the inventory somewhere (from
what I understand, it happens with most popular MOCs), so there is nothing stopping
a buyer from creating their own wanted list and purchase the parts without having
the set in the catalog.

Josh

They're still more official than BrickArms, which is also in the catalog...

Plus, the whole "exciting" part about the whole project, according to BL itself,
is the fact that it's an official cooperation with the LEGO Group.

So yes, I definitely see the irony.

I objected to adding BrickArms as well, for what it's worth. Fat lot of good
that did

730-2 (Inv) Basic Building Set
407 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1985
Sets: Universal Building Set: Basic

* Change 1 Part Trans-Clear {3003 Brick 2 x 2 to 3003old Brick 2 x 2 without Inside Supports}

Comments from Submitter:
I changed a few other bricks in this set and then later noticed this one. I think it qualifies on oldness to change transparent bricks, right? Since old opaque bricks were also found in the set.

Technically all transparent 3003 bricks do not have inside supports, so according
to just the name of the part, all transparent 3003s would qualify as "3003old".
However, if we were to change all inventories in this way, then we would have
3003old parts all the way through the LEGO timeline up to the present day, which
would not be ideal. I also believe that the 3003old entry was created for those
looking for vintage _opaque_ 3003s.

When looking at the BrickLink data, it looks like the switch from 3003old to
3003 occurred around the mid-1980s, so the cutoff for including the Trans-Clear
brick as a 3003old in some inventories and as a 3003 in other inventories has
been arbitrarily set around the 1984 point. I guess this sort of makes sense,
but I am not too keen about the solution employed. I don't want to change
any more inventories with these parts in transparent colors until it is discussed
further by the admins.

This request will be rejected for now.

Cheers,
Randy

Should there be a new catalog item added, something like 3003trans or 3003t
to try and differentiate between vintage, modern, and modern transparent parts?
Maybe 3003old needs to be renamed to 'Brick 2x2 pre-1980 without inside supports'
or 'Brick 2x2 vintage without inside supports'...

Is that the largest the image can get? Do you have a link to a better one?

Randy,

The image come from Ebay:
-Fred

Your message is going to get cancelled because you can't post links to ebay.
However, I looked at the much larger image, and it does look like the wheels/tires
are together. In any case, I just bought the polybag, so we will know for sure
very soon!

I also buy this set as new

I didn't have this one yet, so I figured "what the hell."

lol, that line of thinking has gotten me into soooooo much trouble...

Shows parts that naturally fit together which are designed to work together
and which are nearly always used together as a single unit.


If anyone sees where this definition could be improved, then please let me know.
Otherwise, start sending me some new item relationships and let's see how
well this works. I've added a few to get us started and here is one of them
so you can see how it looks:

 
Part No: 3937  Name: Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Base
* 
3937 Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Base
Parts: Hinge
 
Part No: 3938  Name: Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Top Plate
* 
3938 Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Top Plate
Parts: Hinge

See the project on the catalog roadmap:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2476

See the new relationship match added and defined today:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogRel.asp

So I tried adding a new relationship for
 
Part No: 3937  Name: Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Base
* 
3937 Hinge Brick 1 x 2 Base
Parts: Hinge
and
 
Part No: 6134  Name: Hinge Brick 2 x 2 Top Plate
* 
6134 Hinge Brick 2 x 2 Top Plate
Parts: Hinge
and got an error.
Should I have modified the existing relationship instead?

  so much for that attempt at humor

Sorry, didn't realize it was an attempt at humor. I've been getting
some occasionally unfriendly feedback of late and thus I've tended to assume
things are criticism unless stated otherwise.

It's funny . . . people complain about bitter, unresponsive administrators
and never think to question how that happens.

I like my administrators how I like my coffee... Dark (humor) and bitter

It is hard to tell from the images what wheel assemblies are shown. None of them
look like they have yellow wheels, so the change for that one will not be approved
based on these images. If you can tell what wheel assembly is shown with the
white images, I can accept those.

Cheers,
Randy

Sorry, but I didn't find better image than that

Yeah, I don't think that helps very much. I will take a look around later
to see if I can dig up anything better. If not, I will let you go ahead and cancel
the requests instead of rejecting them.

Cheers,
Randy


Okay,
If I don't find better, I'm going to cancel in 24hours

Fred

I have a sealed copy of this set at home, I'll try to remember to check it
when I get there.

Josh

That deserves a huge pat on the back!

Please let us know what you find out.

Thanks,
Randy

Here's a pic showing the yellow wheels. Hope it's clear enough.

Is there some sort of list you guys are working off of for these changes, or
just going by whatever has these parts? I've got hundreds of sealed sets
from the 80s and 90s and my BrickSet collection is mostly accurate, so if there's
a list of sets that need to be checked, I should be able to see what I have in
my collection and help out more.

Josh

May I send you a list?

Yeah, that would work. I still haven't decided if I'll open any sets
yet or not, but for the boxes I have that the seals are already opened or they
have a visible flap, I can hopefully check for any specific parts.
