I plan to approve this request.

However, just so that there will be a record for future reference, please specify
the condition of the set when you first acquired it (new sealed, new opened/complete,
new incomplete, or used). Also, please specify if the parts for this set were
mixed with parts for any other sets.

I'm trying to move more in this direction for inventory requests so that
people in the future can have greater knowledge regarding changes made to inventories.
There were many changes made in the past which were not well documented (frequently
due to forum messages attached to change requests not being saved, although they're
permanently saved now).

Thanks.

Thanks for the information.

The earlier sets are all automatic for the jumper variant, as no variant presented
itself. But many of the sets will probably end up staying undermined for awhile
when the transition phase to variant B starts and ends, to know how many sets
have been lazily/accidentally/ignorantly approved with the undermined variant
even when the set never was intended to have the A variant (or sets that were
marked with the A variant before the B variant was added to the catalog).

Sorry that I was not clear in my log message. The "same situation as set 7991-1"
phrase meant that I referenced what I wrote in the other thread: the variant
as found in a MISB-based set that has never mixed with other bricks (only assembled
once and kept separate). More precisely, this variant was found in set 7630 that
was part of "superpack" set 66328.

My inventory requests are usually based on MISB sets or MISB-based sets that
were never mixed with other bricks. I'll try to be more clear about that
in the future. I might break this "MISB-based" rule in situations where there's
(IMHO) overwhelming evidence that certain bricks can only come from certain sets
(e.g. my latest update for set 8637 and my previous update for set 7890) and
in those cases, I always try to state my evidence clearly.

Thanks for the information.

The earlier sets are all automatic for the jumper variant, as no variant presented
itself so those should be easy to do. Unfortunately, many of the sets would probably
end up staying undermined for awhile when the transition phase to variant B starts
and ends,, due to the fac that many were approved with the undermined variant
even when the set never was intended to have the A variant (or sets that were
marked with the A variant before the B variant was added to the catalog). I'm
not sure the reason (whether time contraint, or ignorance, or accidental, or
something else -- I know that I have made several requests in the past out
of ignorance, so it can be easy to miss some things -- which it why it is
good to have multiple people working together for accountability and verification),
but either way I hope we can all work together to perfect the inventories with
variants.

(Though, I would also strongly caution the administration to make sure that if
a new variant is approved in the catalog, that the other variant is added immediately,
to make sure that we do not run into such situations in the future.)

Thank you for all of your hard work and your prompt responses in the request
changes.
