Comments from Submitter:
Source: mostly sealed set. The plastic cover was partly loose on the left side, but most of the inside of the box was still basically impossible to reach, especially the right side compartment that contained most of these extra parts. So I am confident that contents of the box are all original.

Hi Paul
great!
Was there a catalogue? If yes which one was it.
|
| | What is the underside of the blue 2x4 technic plates?
|
Anything specific I should be looking for? They have mold numbers on the underside.
|
Thank you Paul!!
Thanks for the catalog, I think I had the 1982 version
Stupid me  ; I asked about the wrong plates, it was for the regular blue 2x4
plates. What is their underside? Pat Pend erased? Or just mold numbers? Do they
have a mold pip on the side or in the logo?

Comments from Submitter:
I own the set 6559 and noticed that the torso for this diver is wrong, probably due to the fact that the life jacket covers the image and there is no way to confirm it from the instructions or otherwise.
|
Nice catch! 
You are correct. Here are images from a sealed set being opened that show all
of the torso and head assemblies included in the set.
However, minifigure div005 _is_ in another set (6558-1), so we cannot change
the minifigure inventory for one just to make the other one wrong. We are going
to need a new minifigure entry to correct this issue.
Cheers,
Randy

Nice!
I had these sets, all sold here 15 years ago.
I just went through the online instructions again and found this...
Randy isn't this a minifig? The skull with the brick and plate?

This page also happens to contain the first-ever BrickLink-hosted color chart
comparing BrickLink color names with official LEGO color names.
We trust Diana will continue with the enthusiasm and dedication she has shown
over the past year. Please join me in welcoming her to this new position!

I got an extra of this in both packets I opened of her, hence why I added it
as an extra. I guess some packets didn't get one though. Maybe a note is
needed to say that you may or may not receive an extra of the part.
That's up to an admin though.

Hi
I confirm, no extra in the few part out I did.

The definition of an extra is that you may or may not receive it. We are not

Hello
Same text as 306 inv change req., other pictures: found on an eBay auction a
few weeks ago.
Last year I bought a pack of 5 baseplates set 306 (MISB).
All with the original cellophane.
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=306-1#T=I
And all 5 tied together again.
These apparently came by 5 at the toy store? Other than this I have no information
on this. The original cellophane feels like that period. My seller's photos
show many of these 5-packs.
After some research I found that the packaging = the cardboard (original box)
was the 1st version, box number 190120 of ©1979.
But there is always this baseplate = 6099pb01 (not on BL in set 306, thought
it was never in an inventory and changed)
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=6099pb01&in=S
Was this baseplate also released in 1979 (only in set 928-1 and 497-1 as alternate)?
(I can't immediately find a photo with this baseplate in a set, except for
this 306 in my possession.)
I don't think so, this is a later version = from 1980. I did a lot of research
over the last few years on the 80's baseplates (in general, not just the
Spacebaseplate that this is about).
I found 4 different types of marking on the back: combination of different factors
• ©1978 LEGO A/S INTERLEGO AG (from 1978 the 1st appear in the Legoland sets)
• ©LEGO A/S INTERLEGO AG (my research shows these appeared from 1980)
• ©LEGO Group (my research shows this came out in 1990)
• ©LEGO Group with the baseplate part number (I believe from 1991)
If this 6099pb01 only appeared in 1980, it is certainly possible that it ended
up in the 306 set.
In 1980 the 'Cross Road' baseplate (set 6304) appeared + update packaging
set 300, 301 and 302 + some sets came out with different baseplates. The US versions
also came with an updated packaging (including sets 551, 552 and 553).
But for these Spacebaseplate sets, the packaging = cardboard (original box) remained
unchanged until 1983, when the sets received another box update, partly due to
the emergence of the barcode.
Perhaps the reason for not updating was a box that was still in stock or less
sales, so that it was not allowed or impossible to update the packaging? The
454 set did get an update I think (see photo at 454 inv change)
I found so far 3 different packs for our region and 4 different packs for the
US market (set 454), as follows:
• 306 * 1979 – 190120
• 306 * 1983 – 190121
• 306 * 1983-1990 – 190128 (with white border, no half flap)
• 454 * 1979 – 190xxx (with 'Space System' imprint outside the 'Legoland'
banner
• 454 * 1979 – 190xxx (with 'Space System' imprint inside the 'Legoland'
banner
• 454 * 1983 – 190741 (with white border, with flap)
• 454 * 19xx-???? – 190xxx (with white border, no flap)
Decision:
Set 306 and 454 also came with baseplate version 6099pb01.
• All 6099pb01 baseplates I own have the back marking "©LEGO A/S INTERLEGO
AG" (and there are quite a few). Which corresponds to the period starting
from 1980.
• For the purchased pack of 5, I took the plunge and carefully removed the set
in the middle from the 5-pack. Of course some damage, but here also the same
back marking '©LEGO A/S INTERLEGO AG'.
• This baseplate was released in 1980 (until 1982) as an update by not extending
the yellow line. From 1983 there was another update. (this came out in new sets
that year + update packaging set 306 + 454)
Anyone who has the box codes of the missing cardboards/original boxes? 306-454

change to 46212, my set comes with 3 of these 1x2x5 bricks without internal side supports

So far this old variant for non-trans colors only appeared in 1988-1989.
May I ask for the history of your set. Did you buy or receive it sealed and are
you sure parts were not switched with parts from other sets from the 80's?
Could you add an image to this tread showing these bricks without side supports.
Thanks,
Diana

Thank you for your images, but as you said in a reply to my message, you bought
this set used. To change this part to the older version that hasn't been
seen in any other sets from this period (so far), we really need hard proof.
Diana

Hi Diana
I think the OP is correct.
At that time this part came with the 'without side supports'.
But it is not separate in the catalog as 2454a and -b for this old part.
It is/was a separate item with the color variant. It is now changed with the
old sets like https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=277336

ps: OP already deleted his request

| | Dear BrickLink members,
In May of this year, the LEGO Group plans to release a new color, and this has
implications for the BrickLink catalog and marketplace. The new color being introduced
is 375 Transparent Black, and we believe it will eventually replace LEGO color
111 Transparent Brown.
As most of you know, the greater fan community has for many years referred to
LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown as "Trans-Black". Up until now, this
name has served us well because there was no official LEGO color known as Transparent
Black. Now that the LEGO Group is introducing a color officially known as Transparent
Black, it will cause alignment problems to have the same name being used for
two different colors.
We anticipate that the introduction of this color will cause some disruptions
over the short term, but we have created a plan of action to minimize those disruptions.
The first thing we will do is change the name of the current Trans-Black color
to "Trans-Brown (Old Trans-Black)". This change is scheduled to
take place at the beginning of April. This will ensure that the name change will
be very noticeable within the catalog, set inventories, BrickLink stores, order
summaries, etc., so that the majority of BrickLink users can adjust to the change.
Next, the new color will be added to the catalog as "Trans-Black (2023)"
to make it very obvious that this is a new color and should not be used for older
set inventories and older parts being listed for sale. This addition is expected
to happen at the beginning of May when set 75346 is released and inventoried:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1398124
After a 6-month transition, we will remove the text in parentheses from both
color names. The older color will then be "Trans-Brown", and the
newer color will be "Trans-Black". This will complete the transition.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The question arises, why have we decided to go the route outlined above rather
than leaving "Trans-Black" aligned to LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown
and creating a new color name for the new LEGO color 375 Transparent Black? There
are several reasons.
First, we want to make sure that we do not create long-term confusion between
these colors, since we believe the new LEGO color 375 Transparent Black will
become the standard color and LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown will become just
another part of the history of the brick system we all know and love. As time
goes by, the older color will not be seen as often and the newer color will be
everywhere. And after what we hope is a relatively short period of time, BrickLink
users will adjust naturally to the change.
Second, coming up with a name for a new color is not an easy task. Although it
looks darker than the current LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown, it doesn't
look much different from what most people would say is some type of "transparent
blackish gray" color. Typically, new color names grow longer over time to
help distinguish from existing colors, so we could end up with something like
"Trans-Very Dark Bluish Gray".
Longer names are something we have come to accept in a catalog that covers the
entire history of LEGO colors, but it helps lower the entry barrier to BrickLink
when we can use simpler names at least for the most common colors. Using the
relatively short names "Trans-Brown" and "Trans-Black" are ideal
instead of retaining "Trans-Black" for the earlier color and creating
a longer name for the new color.
Finally, aligning the names of the two colors with the official LEGO color names
helps us future-proof the BrickLink catalog. By aligning these color names now,
we make sure that any other colors the LEGO Group may introduce within this range
in the future would not cause any further issues.
Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.
