LARGE Vs. SMALL

If you think you can sell them for the 6c price, you should have filled up with
the 1x1 round tile (closed eye). You can pack more than 3x of those than the
2x2 corner plate into either cup, and 3x6c = 18c, more than the "best value"
2x2 corner plates at 10c.

That might also be why your small cup appears better value, as you have 173 of
this part in the small cup but only 285 in the large cup. To make a fairer cost
comparison, you could have put 308 into the large cup (173*$16/$9). Or keep the
ratios of all the parts you add the same in both cups.

Yea I know there are multiple variables that can come into play. Next time I'm
going to buy three cups of each and go small medium to large pieces in each to
have a better idea if One is better than other.

Thanks for your input!

Unless you get exactly the same thing in each cup this calculation really doesn't
work. It works for you if you are curious as to the value you got but really
has nothing to do with the difference in size.

Just one example: You have the 28 1x4 which would be equivalent to about 250-350
1x1 round plates which equals nearly $12 (assuming 300).

I think a simple solution would be to fill the small cup with water twice and
dump it into the large cup to see what the difference in volume is.

The more part is the following- ...and confirm what if any sets/MOCs I can build
via my current lego stock?

I researched the option to see "percent of parts avail" and saw this on another
site but I believe it was a site dedicated not only to sets, but MOC's and
for the life of me I can't remember where I saw that phrase at. I made a
post on BrickOwl as well and am pending response, but I'm pretty sure it
wasn't on brickowl.

Any help is appreciated!

Looks very similar to
 
Part No: 2983  Name: Electric, Motor 9V Micromotor Pulley
* 
2983 Electric, Motor 9V Micromotor Pulley
Parts: Electric, Motor
but does not have the trans-clear part. Maybe the newer ones in LBG did not have
that?

Cheers,
Randy

Funny that you should mention that. I have two LBG ones here and they have no
trans-clear part. And it is part of something too big for me to deal with alone,
so I'm going to have some questions tomorrow.

They are tied to the sets, but they are not tied by the "Item Appears In" data.
The "Item Appears In" data are used for links to things _within_ set inventories.
Since instruction manuals are an entry that gets created and tied automatically
to a set when a set entry is created, the instruction manuals do not have to
be put into the actual inventories. In fact, I can't even place an instruction
manual into an actual inventory.

Cheers,
Randy

I'm looking at the list of my lots which are not available for IC. As a part
of working that list, I looked at the catalog entry for one instruction booklet
(i.e. 1271-1). The catalog page says 'Item Appears In N/A'.

Are instructions not tied back to the set (or sets) they shipped with ?

Generally this is a 1:1 relationship, and should be obvious, but I do seem to
recall a few instructions that were coded with more than one set number. One
example of this is a set that was shipped both with and without a play stage
(or which several such examples exist from the 1990s).

See 6900/6999 for such a situation.
