| | Hi,
I am trying to complete my old Lego sets that are mostly from the 1980s, and
created several wanted lists (1 per set) in order to buy the missing parts.
Question:
How can I be sure that I am buying the (era)correct part?
Example: set "6951 Robot Command Center" from 1984 is missing 1x "Brick,
Round 2 x 2 with Axle Hole" = part 3941 in White.
However, the new part has a 'bottom ring' visible and the original parts
did not have that
(https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3941&C=1#T=C&C=1).
So when using the 'buy all' option or selection all wanted lists that
I want to buy parts for, how do I know I get the correct part and not the newer
version?
Or has this option fully disappeared from Bricklink now?
In that case: what parts-buying site does still make the distinction between
versions of a part?
Many thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Menno

Fundamentally agree. I assume that means a "new" 88009 would come in
some sort of box? There is an entry for it but no photo or sales history.

April 1, 2024 9:31 AM PDT
LOS ANGELES—On Monday morning, Ynon Kreiz, CEO of Mattel, Inc., publicly announced
his intention to purchase BrickLink, Inc. from the LEGO Group.
Mattel is the owner of MEGA Brands, the manufacturer and distributor of MEGA
BLOKS construction toys. BrickLink is an online platform where users can buy
and sell LEGO®-brand products.
The announcement comes in the wake of the BrickLink administration's decision
to remove many older products from the platform, a decision which upset a small
minority of its clients.
After a series of negotiations and research from a neutral third-party market
valuation firm, the two sides have agreed on a final price tag of 2.19 USD.
The deal is expected to close by the end of July 2042, after BrickLink provides
the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration with some much-needed
paperwork in order to complete the deal.
In the meantime, Mattel plans to begin removing all LEGO®-brand products from
the platform and replacing them with their MEGA-brand equivalent, if available.
Kreiz has assured the public that all of BrickLink's 28 employees will be
retained for the forseeable future, including longtime administrator Russell
Callender.

This question might be silly, but i'm still new to lego.
Does the 3062 part (round brick without top) have a lego logo on it? If so, where
is it?

Thank you all folks for your enlightening responses! Your comments, and your
silent responses have successfully unraveled the mysteries surrounding this enigmatic
LEGO torso. I now possess a profound understanding of its origin, distribution,
and the reason behind its orphan status—all thanks to your invaluable contributions.
I couldn't have solved this LEGO puzzle without your assistance. Bravo, team!

| | The pictures and descriptions for parts 33299 and 61408 are reversed in the catalog.
I know this because I have some parts with part# 30299 stamped on them - these
parts have the extra elongated hole next to the pin.
I also have parts with NO elongated hole next to the pin - none of them have
part numbers (but since they're different from the p/n 33299's that have
a part# on them, I have to assume that they are p/n 61408.)
I turned a p/n 61408 over and discovered an elongated "hole" that doesn't
go through and through on the reverse side (i.e. the side opposite of where the
pin sticks out).
So...
Part# 33299 has an open elongated hole next to the pin that goes all the way
through.
Part# 61408 has a blind elongated hole that you can only see from the non-pin
side.
I think my description is a bit confusing, but I can't think of how to clarify.
Feel free to ask questions. I'd really like to get this corrected in the
catalog!!

I just received today’s Insiders e-mail: there’s some German in my French! 
If anyone still had doubts, this’s another proof nothing changed but the name
between VIP and Insiders because it has happened a couple times too when it was
called VIP
“Good enough is the only best”!

¹ Actually e-mails: I once paid with PayPal, which is on another e-mail
address, and now I receive VIP/Insiders e-mails on both addresses. Yep, I asked
customer services (as an aside to another problem) but nothing changed despite
their assurances.
