|
| Hi all, I’ve got an additional instruction sheet that appears to supersede the
printed instructions in the sets booklet. It’s just a single page, printed on
one side. I’ve attached a photo...
Is there a way to add this to the catalog?
Thanks in advance

For example, on a lime green 2x4 brick (randomly pulled from a bin I'm working
through) there is the seriel number "3001" which defines what piece it is.
Then, in the other corner is another set of numbers "6-251"

Number of the mould and position of the mould part this brick was made in.

It's useful for a few collectors, who collect special bricks and/or very
old bricks (mainly 2x4 test/prototype runs in most cases) also based on the mould
number and mould position number.
Not for the generic modern brick, though.

it was manufactured on?
|
Date: No. These numbers are part of a mould that will be/has been used for years.
Location: Yes, unless this mould has been used in multiple locations (happened
for old moulds sold/sent to other manufacturing sites back then)

be so helpful! Telling medium blue from maersk blue or dark pink from magenta
isn't always easy!
|
Hehe, unfortunately not... The same moulds are used for all colours.

Hi Jan,
Wow, that was really helpful! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me  If
only there was a way to guarantee the actual colour of the brick you're selling!
lol

| I’ve had a look and can’t find an old variant.
Is it worth asking about getting such a variant added to the database?

| | Hi, thanks for your immediate reply!!
I’ll have a look for a variant piece listing for it. I’ve actually got about
6 or 7 floating around in a box of my stuff from when I was a child!
Thanks again

| | Hi, I’m new(ish) to BrickLink - certainly selling on here x and I had a question...
This is a regular “slope 33 4 x 3” piece which appears to me to be very old,
as it is unlike a lot of other bricks of the same appearance in that the tubes
underneath are split and has “PEND” in place of it’s part number.
I can’t find any evidence of this brick in the catalog... does it just class
as a regular “33 4x3” brick or is it special/rare in any way?
Thanks for any help you can give

Bricks with the split tubes like this are older, usually from the 60's/70's.
I'm not sure if this part number has an "old" variant, but for the 3001's
and 3002's, these split tubes are classified along with the other 3001old
and 3002old parts. You have a very vintage piece there!
