Comments from Submitter:
Bit by bit I am learning not to trust Clickit inventories. They desperately needed a medic.

I don't trust any inventories that I haven't confirmed myself from a
sealed set. Keeps me vigilant when looking at all of the other inventories.

* Add 1 Part clikits114c01 Pink Clikits Container Box with Trans-Dark Pink Lid

Comments from Submitter:
The set comes with these boxes already assembled and individually bagged. But not only that, the inventory has ignored that the boxes are not identical. They are opposites.

And the packaging states the set contains 64 pieces, so the boxes were counted
as one piece each. Nice job. It's about time we had a Clikits expert around
here.

Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:
As discussed in the forum, the evidence of this is that I took a pic of the piece that came in my set and unknowingly submitted it to the wrong variant.

I am guessing that one of these should be the *soft* spring, correct? Want to
give it another shot?

Comments from Submitter:
None of the counterparts with stickers are listed.

The procedure to add stickered Counterparts to BrickLink and set inventories
is as follows:

(1) Add the stickered parts to the BrickLink catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/wantedCatalog.asp?catType=P

Help on adding items to the BrickLink catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=71

(2) Add images to the BrickLink catalog for the stickered parts:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=P

Help on adding images to the BrickLink catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=87

(3) Fill out Inventory Change Requests to add the stickered parts to the set
inventories after they are approved by the Catalog Associate.

The following thread may also be of help:

then I will need to look into it a little more. At least we know the soft spring
version came in that set for sure at some point.

I am referring to that. I will attest the one pictured, a soft spring, was taken
by me from that set. I will await your instructions or you may take care of
it. I will note that if that set did sometimes come with a medium spring, it
is the only dark gray medium spring.

I can't say that it never came with the normal spring as the change logs
for this set seem to suggest it did. Since we know yours came with a soft spring
for sure, go ahead and submit a request to have the soft spring as the regular
item and change the normal spring to an alternate.

Cheers,
Randy

I agree. I bought that set hunting undetermined palm trees and it was before
I started hunting undetermined shock absorbers. I just went with what the inventory
said, but it is a soft spring. I can move the picture.

Yes, please have the image moved.

  But Randy, do you think the soft needs to be added as an alternate or just replace
the normal?

These 4 peices make the support legs that go under the modified plates.

Image from a BrickLink listing clearly shows these parts on the parts list and
in the bag of contents.

Hi Randy,

I found this:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2508
The first photos are a bit blurry, but 731c06 can be clearly seen on the build
model.

This review at eurobricks also shows 731c06:
https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/30566-review-8448-super-street-sensation/

By the way, it seems that the image for dark gray 731c05 here at BL shows 731c06.

Regards,
Jonas

Thank you, Jonas!

All the sets that I was finding were used sets, but they all showed 731c06. The
images from the series at BrickShelf are indeed blurry, but it is a set being
built from sealed set contents and I can indeed see the 731c06.

Request accepted.

Cheers,
Randy

Could you please tell me your source for making this change request?

Hi Randy,

i bought 5 used models from different sources so far and they all had 731c06
installed. This highly indicates that 731c06 is the right part, but its definitely
not a final proof.

best regards,
Simon

Thank you. I will look into it further and see if I can find more definitive
proof.

PS: I can 1X [p=4073c01] in trans red, but I'm not sure.

I can definitely see the one 4073c01 in Trans-Red. At this point in time, we
can look at the timeline for 4073c01 in the catalog and see that the transition
year was sometime around 1992. Since this set was released before that transition
year, it is very likely that this set always came with 4073c01. I will manually
update the inventory to include them.

Cheers,
Randy

Comments from Submitter:

Only two sprues. The other two extra parts are present. See photos.

This set is actually right during the transition period of these parts being
on sprues to not being on sprues. Since our other current Inventory Admin is
the one who added the extra parts to this set back in 2011, these parts on sprue
will be made the regular parts and the parts not on sprue will be made alternates.

Cheers,
Randy

The summary is from a friends set. Now we have the 131 parts. Don`t know if I give everything correct. Theses are the changes:
12x 3023 Light Bluish Gray Plate 1 x 2
4x 3023 Dark Bluish Gray Plate 1 x 2
2x 3024 Dark Bluish Gray Plate 1 x 1
6x 3044c Slope 45 2 x 1 Double - with Bottom Stud Holder

As I stated in the last thread where you were requesting these changes:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1135301

"As stated above, I will definitely need to see the instructions of the set and
photos of the part variants before I can proceed with any more changes at this
point. Only then can I be sure of completeness and accuracy."

If this is a friends set, then you should be able to ask your friend to take
photos or make scans of all the instruction steps and part variants for me to
look into this. The images can be sent to inv@bricklink.com

As I also stated in the last thread:

"I think I have come to the conclusion that I will not be making any more changes
to this set unless I have definitive photos and scans of everything involved."

Thanks,
Randy

  Randy,

This set was in market for 7 years, between 1969-75. Let's assume it came
with the light-gray rims for the first 6 months and came with the blue battery
box and blue motor for the first two years.
I have only found photos of two new copies of it. So it is very hard to find
a sealed copy of this set coming with these variation of parts.
Also, most of the trainrims are already perished, so most of those we see in
photos, black or light gray, may be replicas (non-original).
There are four listings on BL of this set, coming blue battery box and blue motor.
I have seen many others (all used):
https://picclick.fr/LEGO-System-Electric-Train-Motor-45V-ref-103-123727829337.html#&gid=1&pid=1

https://picclick.de/1969-Lego-103-45V-Motor-Box-02-352075274553.html

https://picclick.fr/LEGO-103-45-V-Motor-with-Rubber-253805687635.html

https://picclick.co.uk/LEGO-System-103-Boxed-45v-Motor-Rubber-Tracks-222882399788.html

(click on "see details on ebay")

I personally don't doubt that the blue battery box and blue motor did come
with this set.

Bests,
Reza

Reza -

All right, you have convinced me.

I will keep the blues and grays as the Regular Items since the set probably first
came with those even if we don't know for sure. Eventually, everything changed
to black, so those will be the alternates.

Cheers,
Randy

It's all done. Take a look over it to make sure everything looks OK.

  Randy,

This set was in market for 7 years, between 1969-75. Let's assume it came
with the light-gray rims for the first 6 months and came with the blue battery
box and blue motor for the first two years.
I have only found photos of two new copies of it. So it is very hard to find
a sealed copy of this set coming with these variation of parts.
Also, most of the trainrims are already perished, so most of those we see in
photos, black or light gray, may be replicas (non-original).
There are four listings on BL of this set, coming blue battery box and blue motor.
I have seen many others (all used):

https://picclick.co.uk/LEGO-System-103-Boxed-45v-Motor-Rubber-Tracks-222882399788.html

(click on "see details on ebay")

I personally don't doubt that the blue battery box and blue motor did come
with this set.

Bests,
Reza

Reza -

All right, you have convinced me.

I will keep the blues and grays as the Regular Items since the set probably first
came with those even if we don't know for sure. Eventually, everything changed
to black, so those will be the alternates.

Cheers,
Randy

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 8851  Name: Excavator
* 
8851-1 (Inv) Excavator
350 Parts, 1984
Sets: Technic: Model: Construction

* Change 1 Part Black {3705b Technic, Axle 4 Threaded to 3705 Technic, Axle 4} (Extra)

Comments from Submitter:
Are you suore that extra item is 3705b (threaded) and not a 3705 (normal)? In the instruction of the kit neve use the 3705b item

Nope, not sure at all!

This part was added as an extra in 2010. Unfortunately, the Inventory Change
Requests from back then were not saved indefinitely in the forums like they are
today, so we have no information as to why this change was asked for or approved.

I honestly can't see a reason for it being in there.

Our guidelines for Extras in an inventory state:

Removing or Changing Extra Items - Extra parts can vary depending on when
and where a set was manufactured, meaning that some new sets may include them
and others may not. The quantity of these extra parts can also vary. Extra parts
are typically not removed or reduced in quantity unless it can be determined
that they were originally added or increased in error.

So, to make a decision concerning whether to remove this as an extra part, I
have to somehow determine if it was originally added in error. That is going
to be tough to do after nine years removed from the actual change being made.

Any ideas on how you would proceed with this, Paul?

Cheers,
Randy

Part 3705b first appeared as a regular part in sets in 1986 according to our
catalog. So it seems strange that it appeared as an extra part in another set
two years before that. Based on that it seems that a mistake was probably made
when adding this extra.

But wouldn't this set have been produced at least for a few years, possibly
overlapping the introduction of part 3705b?

  The only way to be sure would be to ask the person who added it in the first
place. But even they might not remember it after so many years.

I guess we could try that route.

Hi

No... that was also my first thought (my cancelled post) but have a look at the
instructions and all 5 are used as regular axle.


Stefaan

Yeah, I already went over the instructions yesterday. I know it isn't used
in the set in any way, but it may have popped into a random set after a few years
on the market. In any case, I believe it was most likely a LEGO packaging error
if it was found in a set. I am definitely leaning towards removing it from the
inventory.

Cheers,
Randy

I have decided to remove this extra from the inventory. I just can't think
of anything or find anything that makes sense except for it possibly being a
packaging error.

Request approved.

Cheers,
Randy

  It's a quick read, and appropriate for non-technical types.

Who said I'm non-technical? I have a degree in Chemical Engineering, a minor
in Computer Science, worked as a process engineer for a Fortune 50 company, and
then transferred into working for that same company as a web application developer
specializing in UI/UX design and database architecture. Believe me, if this was
my site, things would be wayyyyyyyyyyy different.

Thanks for your thoughts on everything, though. I do appreciate them, but a project
of the scope you are talking about is way above my pay grade and I have no ability
to implement it the way I would want to.

Cheers,
Randy

  hello !
in the 4883

 
Set No: 4883  Name: Gear Grinders
* 
4883-1 (Inv) Gear Grinders
273 Parts, 2005
Sets: Designer Sets: Traffic

   "gear grinders" creator set, 4 red pieces ref 45677 are needed on
the paper instruction (see my photo). And 5 are needed on the Bricklink Inventory.
As it is a creator, with different building options, the exact needed number
is not easy to know. All i know is that 4 of these red pieces are enough to build
each of the suggested buiding options in the instruction. But separately, one
after the other. I don't know if TLG designed this set as being able to build
several "gear grinders" at the same time ? ... Another member owns this set ?
Good sunday to all of you !!

Brickset (= more or less LEGO) agrees with BrickLink to reach 273 pieces in total,
so, unless another part is wrong, it looks correct.

Note that the 5th part was changed to extra on February, 16th 2012, and changed
back to regular on the 19th.
Unfortunately, we can’t see the messages accompanying the changes anymore

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=4883-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1

Those movment were I think due to parts count on box which shows 273 part. So
current parts count in inventory match.

Sealed set contents that I have found show that the set indeed came with five
of the part, since all three of the main models on the front cover were able
to be made at the same time. Those three models require five of the part. Therefore,
the inventory is correct. However, I will add a note that the instruction manual
has a mistake in the parts list.

Cheers,
Randy
