I've just added parts 98138pb211 to 98138pb236 and their corresponding multipack
77486 for approval. These are the letter tiles from 41938 Creative Designer Box.

LEGO considers the M (98138pb223) and W (98138pb233) tiles to be distinct elements
within a multipack, having two Ms and one W per pack, but I've found that
their prints are identical and indistinguishable, so one could say that each
multipack contains three Ms, three Ws, or one M and two Ws, it's a complete
toss-up.

How should I inventory the multipack once these parts are approved? Do I need
to make an Item Relationship between the two tiles saying they're exactly
the same decoration? Should I remove the duplicate instead and say that there
are three of this tile per multipack?

We're going to need images uploading for all of them before we can approve.

Please also post an image here showing all the M and W tiles from 1 set here
for future reference.

Thanks
Paul.

Oops, I forgot I could add images prior to approval, I thought I had to wait
for approval first. I've added the images now.

Here are the M and W tiles in both orientations.

Hi

Interesting.
How are the N and Z? Is the Z thinner or are they also the same?
If numbers comes there could be similarities with 6 and 9, 0 and O, 1 and I.
