Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6842  Name: Shuttle Craft
* 
6842-1 (Inv) Shuttle Craft
41 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1981
Sets: Space: Classic Space

* Add 2 Part 3040 White Slope 45 2 x 1 (Alternate) (match ID 3)

Comments from Submitter:
As per my recent submission re: 3943b, I also note that in my two sets the 45 2x1 slopes have bottom tubes (3040). Again, with the last known use of 3040a being 1981, and the earliest use of 3040 being 1977, it makes sense that later production runs of 6842 which had low attachment modified plates and axle hole cones would also have 3040.

This set is the same as 5876, and this part is a counterpart in both.

Comments from Submitter:
I had a pair of these since childhood and recently disassembled and bagged them for storage. Both had the axle hole version of the large cones, which is corroborated in terms of timeline by the already confirmed existence in 6890 and 6929. Both sets also contained 3839b, which implies they were from a later production run.

Part No: 6246a  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Tool Screwdriver - Narrow Head - 6-Rib Handle

6246a Minifigure, Utensil Tool Screwdriver - Narrow Head - 6-Rib Handle
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil

The long answer:

It only came out in 2005, and for all intents and purposes, the only fully-distributed
set it was in was 7251 Darth Vader Transformation. Until Lego released an updated
version of that in 2017, it was a fairly high-demand set because that scene in
Revenge of the Sith is iconic. But sets released in 2004-2005 typically had short
shelf lives because of Lego's color transformation and changes in the company.
So higher demand + lower supply = a fairly expensive set -- it still averages
$28 for 53 pieces, or $0.53/piece, and I remember seeing it go for $35-$40
a few years back. Since there are very few exclusive parts in the set besides
the figs, the few exclusive/rare parts get priced up extremely high, likely because
of people trying to Bricklink the set.

Only available in 3 sets, of which one is an exclusive.

Basic Supply and Demand, I should think

  There is a black haired one on eBay right now.

You do know you can post the auction number, right?

(Hint, hint...poke, poke...nudge, nudge)

You can't post the link, just the item number. (202504481665)

Your post is going to be canceled.

Thanks.I am new at this. I have now instead tried to add the minifig with brown
hair as a new item (belvmale21). I hope I will have better luck with that. If
there is one with black hair on ebay, you must be right that both versions
exist.
