According to the catalog, five sets from 2012-2014 still had 2739b. I think that's
wrong because...
- I tried to find images or videos showing 2739b, but didn't find a single
one.
- All those sets were inventoried by the same person and always with Source:
Parts List.
- The following sets from 2012 and 2013 have 2739a as regular and these sets
were inventoried with Source: Sealed Set Contents.
Summary: I think 2739b never appeared in any set from 2012 and later, so I suggest
to delete it from the inventories of 9398, 9396, 9393, 42005 and 42021.
I myself have wondered about this part in our BrickLink inventories for several
years. Confusion seems to have come from images that did not show the differences
clearly enough.

Hello everybody,
before I (maybe) do some proper requests, I'd like to clarify the following
issue regarding part 2739a/2739b in black.

I am more than happy to look into these on a case-by-case basis if you submit
the change requests. The change requests give me a record of things that need
looking into, so it is the easiest way for me to remember!
Cheers,
Randy
P.S. As Russell said, I always had a feeling something was up with these variants.
