  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6370  Name: Weekend Home
* 
6370-1 (Inv) Weekend Home
167 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1985
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Building

* Delete 2 Part 4073 Trans-Yellow Plate, Round 1 x 1
* Delete 1 Part 4073 Trans-Yellow Plate, Round 1 x 1 (Extra)
* Add 1 Part 4073c01 Trans-Yellow Plate, Round 1 x 1, 2 on Sprue

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.

Set No: 6382  Name: Fire Station
* 
6382-1 (Inv) Fire Station
366 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1981
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Fire

* Delete 1 Part 6100pb01 Light Gray Baseplate, Road 32 x 32 with 3 Driveways, Joined Outer Lanes with 1,2 Pattern (6382-1981) (Alternate) (match ID 1)
* Change 1 Part Light Gray 6100px2 Baseplate, Road 32 x 32 with 3 Driveways, Open Outer Lanes with 1,2 Pattern (6382-1983) {match ID 1 to 0}

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.
