Hi,

I was listing a Life on Mars alien minifig for sale in my store and I initially
thought that I had the arms attached incorrectly:

 
Minifig No: lom008  Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Centauri
* 
lom008 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Centauri
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars

However, looking at the instructions for the sets this figure comes from, it's
the picture that's wrong - the arms are attached upside-down. I can take
a picture and submit one for this minifigure, but there are others with similar
issues. I checked instructions specifically for lom008 and lom005, but not for
the others:

both upside-down:
 
Minifig No: lom005  Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Arcturus
* 
lom005 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Arcturus
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars

one upside-down, one normal:
 
Minifig No: lom009  Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Mizar
* 
lom009 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Mizar
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars

one upside-down, one normal:
 
Minifig No: lom010  Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Pollux
* 
lom010 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Pollux
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars

one upside-down, one normal:
 
Minifig No: lom011  Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Rigel
* 
lom011 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Rigel
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars

Wow, that's some awesome attention to detail! I will see if I have any of
these.

It's great to know I am not the only one who tries to get these arms on the
right way in all my builds.

That would be great thanks for noticing.

  but there are others

I fixed the one below using an archived image (hard refresh will be needed) but
we have no alternative images for the rest.


  one upside-down, one normal:
 
Minifig No: lom010  Name: Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Pollux
* 
lom010 (Inv) Life on Mars (LoM) Martian - Pollux
Minifigures: Space: Life on Mars


As we can't do anything else here I have marked this as completed.

Thanks,
Paul.
