Listed as "Ahsoka's Clone Trooper" as it is on the LEGO box art? I thought
this was the typical standard (unless something has changed). It doesn't

Yes, that would linguistically correct, but the issue is that people need to
be able to find items in the catalog. If they know it is officially called Özil
they are far more likely to search for Ozil instead of Oezil.
Niek.

And for that reason, we did the following:
It ain't pretty, but it works.

Maybe I just got the wrong catmin when I asked for the DFB names to be added.
As I mentioned here: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1136187
The one that is really annoying when searching is André Schürrle.
He has both first and second names unsearchable if you cannot type diacritics.
At least for Ozil, you can use Mesut.
And for some reason, it was allowed here:
but not here:
As for Oezil vs Ozil, if you read most UK tabloids it will be Ozil. Broadsheets
will have the umluat.
|
The Ö in Özil is not a German Ö. It's a Turkish Ö. I do not know whether
the description Oe is identical there.
It is also called umlaut and not umluat.

And here I thought it was only US papers that did that:
“English is a straightforward, frank, honest, open-hearted, no-nonsense language,
which has little truck with such devilish devious devices as accents; indeed
U.S. editors and printers are often thrown into a dither when a foreign word
insinuates itself into the language. However there is one word on which Americans
seem to have closed ranks, printing it confidently, courageously, and almost
invariably complete with accent—the cheese presented to us as Münster.
Unfortunately, Munster doesn't take an accent.”
— Waverley Root, The International Herald Tribune, Tuesday May 18th, 1982, p.8

Here's an interesting discussion, especially point 11 (Heavy Metal Umlauts)
https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/58936/11-facts-yu-should-know-about-umlaut

I found this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96
and this
https://www.quora.com/Are-%C3%B6-and-%C3%BC-German-or-Turkish
Looks like turkey borrowed umlauts letters from Germany when they established

Here is similar situation and the same era, troso from 2002. This castle one

looks like it can be also loose but originaly is from this keychain
coincidence? the same era, both from keychains, both can be obtain loose.

I have a set of the Alternate Inventory for the Millenium Falcon 75257.
I can verify the changes to the inventory but just unsure how i do that?
Only because there is not alternate parts. They have removed some parts and

For example, the 2 LBG 2357 are not in this set at all and they have added a

When I was doing this inventory I noticed two different instruction for this
set and I prepared what are differences but this was not accepted by inventory
admins. Here you have all ready just submit changes:
Instructions ver 1
Id number 6296456 (this one I have exactly physical copy in my set) this is European
version
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/6296456.pdf
Id number 6296457 American version
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/6296457.pdf
According to Brickset those versions are "No longer listed at LEGO.com" but as
you can see links are still active but hidden.
So based on above version is current inventory
Instruction ver 2
Id number 6320661 this is European version (V29)
https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/6320661.pdf
Id number 6320663 this is American version (V39)
and because of higher ID numbers I think these are newer versions and those are
active on LEGO.com
https://www.lego.com/pl-pl/service/buildinginstructions/search#?search&text=75257
So as I said inventory is done base on ver 1 (older) I've discovered it because
of parts count discrepancy. When I initially uploaded inventory and added parts
which were missing in automatic upload from online instruction (I do it that
way as it is easier to just copy and paste PCCs, then I check everything with
physical copy) so I ended with different part count than on the box So when
building and checking physical copy of set I came to bag 5 and then building
it I found out that I have different parts than in my initial upload and that
is why I discovered two different instruction and parts count. BTW LEGO inventory
from parts replacement in some of those parts quantities match with newer version.
So I dig through it and here are results and what is redesigned. Differences
are only on two pages and concerning only bag 5.
Page 117 of instruction
step 178
ver 2 has 1x part 3024 in LBG which ver 1 doesn’t
step 179
ver 1 has 2x 2357 in LBG
ver 2 has 1x 3010 in DBG and 1x 3710 in DBG
step 180
ver 1 has 1x 3020 in Dark Tan
ver 2 has the same parts as on step 181 in ver 1
step 181
ver 2 has 1x 3023 in LBG and 1x 3004 in LBG
Now full comparison of version 1 and 2
ver 1 (1351)
- lack of part 3010 in DBG
- there is part 2357 in LBG 2x
- 3710 in DBG 26x
- 3020 in Dark Tan 3x
- 3004 in LBG 3x
- 3024 in LBG 3x
- 3023 in LBG 11x
parts 48x
ver 2 (1353 parts)
- there is part 3010 1x in DBG
- lack of part 2357 in LBG
- 3710 in DBG 27x
- 3020 in Dark Tan 2x
- 3004 in LBG 4x
- 3024 in LBG 4x
- 3023 in DBG 12x
parts 50x
so that makes new version with more parts count

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_dolphin
so scientifically orca is a dolphin not a whale so better use scientific
names as vernacular names are very misleading

What would you like to see done?

The cas072T is a counterpart. The BL inventory lists
as the regular minifig for that set.

Can this minifig be added to the subtheme Wolfpack? That is why I missed it.
Minifigs: Castle: Wolfpack
|
It is also in Black Knights subtheme
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?M=cas252&in=S
That why it isn't in Wolfpack subtheme as it occur in two subthemes
So only in main Castle theme.

To be honest, I have no idea.
When submitting the new key chains, I just tried to follow what was said here:

There isn't any other part in Satin Black in the catalog yet and I don't
own that Chrome Black Darth Vader to compare the colors.

Chrome black is also this container on the outside
look at the note
I think this brick is chrome black

Now I understand whole misunderstaning about coral here
You can see in the system in shop listnings
"Coral Plant Thallus, Seaweed"
(image attached)
but in this case part name is only
"Plant Thallus, Seaweed"
and coral is name of color we use
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_(color)
so whole misunderstanding is here that we use coral in the color meaning but
you thought it is "Coral Plant" - Coral as animal.
Yes it looks strange in listnings but Coral as for now on our system is name
of color not animal.

in my opinion this is seaweed not coral
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaweed
and btw LEEGO offcial name of this part is plant
https://brickset.com/parts/design-49577
PLANT, W/ 3.2 SHAFT, NO. 2
so I think this also prevails towards seaweed than coral.
|
Out of curiousity, if there would be a coral part, would it be put in... Animal?
|
Should be, zoologist tells you
| |
By the way, off topic: I think frogs should really be in Animal,Water. They look
too awkward amongst my bag of cats and dogs and his water buddies miss him.
|
and this is a problem they are water and land animals. Of course all amphibians
need to breed in water and their larve need water but then adults of many species
lives only on land, adult toads for example or Salamndra salamandra. Also in
frogs are species more connected to water and less connected to water. For example
our central european Rana temporaria and Rana arvalis most adult live spend on
land and return to water to breed but Rana lessonae or Rana esculenta they prefer
water than land as adult.

When comparing two Darth Vader figures I had, I discovered a mold variance between
two helmets. The "old" type came likey was made from 1999-2014, while The "new"
type appeared in the 2019 20th Anniversary Clone Scout Walker I think
this new mold was created because in order to create the anniversary figure lego
wanted to use a 1 piece Vader helmet, as opposed to the 2 piece helmets they
switched to a couple of years ago. This mold variation deserves a note in the
catalog entry for the helmet,, or a variant added to the catalog, but I'm
not sure which. If someone wants to take the appropriate action from here, please
go ahead. See the attached image for the differences between the two.
|
I have an original helmet from 1999 and it is fur sure the left variant, so that's
definitly not a new mold. I would also say that most if not all images here show
the left variant:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=30368&in=M
And regarding the reintroduction of the old helmet in set 75261, the designers
said that the old mold was still available:
https://www.brothers-brick.com/2019/04/09/interview-with-lego-star-wars-designers-jens-kronvold-and-kurt-kristiansen-feature/
So I am wondering: Where did you find the right variant and are you sure it is
a genuine LEGO part?
|
I agree with Jonas.
Your "old" mold on right is suspicious. I just take a look on my Vaders from
different years and in all I have left helmet with narrow nose so your "new"
mold. And there is only one diffrence between oldest and newer Vader halmets
from this mold (later on this).
For this post I just took 4 representants from different years.
1) First one is
years 1999-2003
My minfigure on images is from 2002 set.
2) Second one is
years 2009-2016
My minfigure on images is from 2011 set.
3) Third one is
this ony came onluy in 2014 advent calendar.
4) fourth one
the newest one from 2019 anniversary set.
and as you can see all of them have identical narrow nose just like "new one"
from your photo.
The only change is that somwhere in timeline LEGO started to add molded number
on this helmet and LEGO logo. Oldest ones don't have mold number and LEGO
logo. It is visible on images. But with mold number this helmet was already in
2014 advent calendar set and this helmet is identical with 2019 helmet.
btw LEGO has for this part only one mold number and one PCC
https://brickset.com/parts/design-30368
I also check that in this Vader from 2013
helmet is also already with mold number on it. (and it is of course identical
with 2019 one). I couldn't track for now when LEGO have started to molding
part number on this helmet. But beside this only difference oldest helmet without
part number are identical with newer ones with part number.

I got a quote request from a customer saying that the shipping was too high.
When I looked at the order it looks like the below piece is the issue.
I have shipped this part before with no issues as lettermail.
With Canada post anything thicker than 2cm must be sent as parcel which is much
more expensive.
I am trying to understand how bricklink takes the 2x2x2 and translates that to
shipping dimensions in centimetres or inches.
Also can someone help me to understand how this can be 2x2x2 when one side is
longer than it is wide.
Is one of the measurements stacked bricks?
Thanks for any help

So this request has been rejected a note to the minfigure has been added.

If it had been anyone other than the person who discovered the new piece, I would
think it wasn't really two versions.

Inventory of this set was made from Sealed Set Content by Stormchaser and there
are two DBG 44302b so it was logicall that this min figs would have the same
parts even it minfig by itself was inventoried from instruction but luckily
only 4 were used here and two are still in set inventory. So assumpsion was correct
that minfig will have the same variant as one currently in inventory from sealed
set content.
