I just wanted to document this little gem for the next time someone asks: Why
don't we just use the LEGO data because the TLG owns BrickLink now, etc.
blah, blah...

Because these 3 windscreens are definitely the same mold, right? This is why
we open the sets and check the mold numbers. (I know, I know, the LEGO Design
ID's aren't mold numbers, but still.)

This Pagani is a little beauty by the way!

As they are numbered differently from TLG, that doesn't really work.

Also, TLG could simply submit a complete inventory that just needs to be BL tweaked.
It can be done.

I think that is currently how it works. We do have some data from TLG but inventories
are not completely automated.

I feel like I am shouting at the wind sometimes.

We already have the data to 'tweak'. Have had it for years. We have access
to the same inventory data that appears on the Lego.com parts replacement page
and Brickset.com Parts list.

Wind is just air in a hurry. Maybe it was distracted.

The first and third windscreens are definitely from the same mold, but the middle
one (which happens to be for the Pagani) is not - the front part of the windscreen
is more rounded than the other two are.

(I bought every single one of the new 2023 Speed Champions sets within a week
of their release, and I have to admit that they do look good. I especially like
the McLaren F1 LM - it was one of many exotic sports cars featured in an EA video
game that was released way back in 2001 or 2002.)
