  As most who have dealt with them would know, 54821/95753/15365, most Zamor Spheres
are inconsistent in color. Why? Because they're a marble of two colors. While
I can theorize on what colors were used, that's not what I'm going to
do here. Listing them with those colors is not worthwhile for the purpose of
recognition. Instead, I'd suggest sticking to handling them as single-colored.

Currently, Zamors are often inconsistently listed. For example, Zaktan is listed
with a different zamor from the other 5 Piraka sets, even though they all share
the same one, and Toa Inika Jaller/Hahli are listed with Trans-Neon Green, which
is far from their actual seagreen color, and easily confused with the Piraka's.
My following suggested groupings are based on the part numbers listed in the
instruction manuals, where applicable, where as the suggested colors are approximations
using the existing BL colors. If the set number is followed by a question mark,
it means the part ID is not present in the instructions, and if the ID is replaced
with a question mark, that means it is unknown.

Format:
Design ID/Element ID, Suggested Color: [Set Numbers]

Solid:
54821/4545430, Red: 8547, 7158, 2520, 2236, 2283, 6200, 6228, 10229, 31313,
70211, 76028, 70323

54821/6198976, Black: 76104, 76104

Pearl:
54821/?, Flat Silver: 8719 (Darker than 4494056, but not an exact match
to 4655097 )
54821/4494056, Pearl Light Gray: 7029, 6128?, 8943, 8942-1, 8942-2, 8954,
8941, 8698, 8699, 7041, 8697, 8686, 8685, 8687, 8996, 8995, 7160

54821/4291757, Pearl Dark Gray: 8719?
54821/4291758, Pearl Gold: 8719?, 7600?
54821/4594818, Pearl Gold: 3850, 2282 (Seemingly identical to 4291758)

Transparent:
54821/4296080, Trans-Neon Green: 8893, 8894, 8624, 8904, 8901, 8900, 8902,

70115, 70136, TRUCHIMA*? (Looks pretty similar if not identical to 4297031 &
4296577, however more commonly it's lighter, where as the older two are darker.)
54821/4585759, Trans-Dark Blue: 7179, 8863, 2521, 2260 (Unlike 4297031,
4296577 & 6024162, these do not appear to be marbled, but rather akin to the
purple 6030826.)
54821/4297030, Trans-Orange: 9763?, 8729, 8730, 8925, 8930, 8929, 8108,

54821/4583979, Trans-Light Bright Green: 7156, 7148, 7162, 7157, 7147,
9450 (Typically a gradient between the seagreen of 4583979 and the bright green
of 4655587)
54821/4655587, Trans-Bright Green: 6203, 6227, 6223, 6222, 6221, 6217,
6218, 44014, 70503, 44022, 44029, 70132, 44028, 70163, 70165, 44019, 44015, 70732,
9780545703307?
54821/6030826, Trans-Purple: 70702, 70703

*See the listing on Brickset. This set does not appear to exist on Bricklink
at the time of this post.


Co-Injected:
95753/4622390, Red/Yellow: 2235, 2192, 2194, 2193, 2507
95753/6045972, Trans-Black/Trans-Yellow: 10237
15365/6075061, Trans-Light Blue/White: 70209, 70212, 70210, 70156, 70146,

15365/6075267, Trans-Orange/Yellow: 70207, 70211, 70206, 70208 (Seemingly

95753/6075599, Trans-Orange/Yellow: 70156, 70146, 70150, 70135, 70155,
70149, 70225, 70324, 30399?

If I've missed any set, let me know and I can look in to it.

The other problem is, they also varied in color. A LOT. I had a NISB Zaktan that
had a straight green zamor sphere, then the 3 trans neon green ones.

I commonly use this when quoting shipping for a buyer so I don't have to
dig out a set every time someone asks, but it is always a little bit of hassle
to convert grams to pounds and cm to inches.

You're amazing, Mate! Thanks 3000!

  Admin,

Please implement 2FA or some other additional login security to BrickLink account.

2FA = 2-Factor-Authentication

It could help prevent hacking or stealing of accounts and account & inventory
information.

Of course this could be set as optional on the account.

Thank you.

I could not be any more opposed to this.
