The 4032/4032b is an improperly split variant. Due to this, the 4032 currently
in this set are masquerading as an undetermined entry. Since you have definitive
proof here of 4032b in this set, I will make the 4032b the regular items and
remove the 4032 entries.

Cheers,
Randy

Hi Randy,
is there any specific reason why you just started to remove the "undetermined"
4032? Can we maybe expect to get a proper 4032a entry in the near future? Or
was it just a spontaneous idea?
And should I go through my older change requests to check if there are similar
cases there?

Regards,
Jonas

It is an attempt to start to get the correct timelines for some of the axle hole
variants straightened out. This is one of them, and 32064 is another. Jon (axaday)
has tons of data from sealed sets that allow us to start to get a handle on some
of these. To get some of these older variants correctly isolated, we need to
strengthen the older inventories with real data and then only add in other variants
as they are proven.

  Can we maybe expect to get a proper 4032a entry in the near future? Or
was it just a spontaneous idea?

I would hope that a proper 4032a entry would be created in the near future, but
I do not have a say in that as I am just on the inventories side. However, I
think it would be a good time to make a push for it. If either yourself or Jon
could help me with this, I would appreciate it.

Also, it was not a spontaneous idea. It was an idea that I have had for some
time, but was waiting for a critical level of data to begin.

  And should I go through my older change requests to check if there are similar
cases there?

Yes, if you have data from sealed sets where changes like this could be beneficial,
please let me know. My data shows that some colors of 4032 were changed over
to the 'x' axle hole much sooner than others.

Cheers,
Randy
