| Hi!
I read somewhere that users can submit an inventory list for a set, how do I
go about that?
Have an epic day!

It is a catalog inconsistency, and it isn't the only one. These may or may
not be dealt with in the future.

Aren't they meant to be tentacles, so part of the creature rather than discrete
weapons.

Please see https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=270161
I have added a note to the inventory that the instructions show a wrong part.

| b) No
Most sales of variants are driven by the inventories, which in turn populate
buyer want lists. If the variants aren't going to be in the inventories,
there is no point in differentiating them.
I'll keep what I currently have separated and try to send the same variant
for an order, but once I run out that's it. My shop is small and I cannot
charge the premium prices needed to justify the additional labor of continuing
to sort these to service for the vintage collector/restorer market.

Yes, I do plan on listing the different molds whenever possible. However, I am
already in the habit of distinguishing between many variants in my Comments.
It's not a great system though and requires a significant amount of extra
work on my part. I wouldn't think it is a viable option for any other than
specialty or hobby shops like mine. It's a nightmare to check inventory
when you have multiple lots per part. I have to label everything and note how
many total lots I have so I don't mess up and grab the wrong lot when pulling
orders.
I also distinguish between 'good' used and play wear. So, I end up with
many lots for vintage parts. I would bet it is actually quite off-putting to
those trying to fill out wanted lists. I constantly worry that the Easy Buy system
is bringing buyers to my shop without reading the Comments before placing an
order.
Thanks,
~Jen

Already use it to separate unrecognised variants, this just means I have even
more, certain to increase in future when other changes are implemented.

| | | Those are good arguments against doing it.

There are good arguments on both sides. For example, the fact that in LEGO doesn't
distinguish some mould variants is a good argument why BL doesn't need to.
But then there are cases where LEGO does distinguish and BL aggregates them under
a single number plus letter for the variant.
It could be complicated where BL has used single entries for parts when LEGO
has used multiple. For example, I wonder what will happen in the longer term
to parts like this.
where they have different BL code numbers and
where they use the same number but variant letters, even though LEGO has used
a range of different item numbers for the d variant. Should the latter be merged
or should they be split into different part numbers? Should the different d variants
have multiple entries even though they appear to be the same thing. It seems
strange that these two types of clip are treated in a very different way, one
keeping two distinct codes, the other aggregating them into one but using made
up code letters to distinguish them.
If the image comparing 4085 variants is removed, and there is just one 4085 entry
not showing any differences, will most people even care? If they can use any
3001 from the late 70s onwards to complete a 1982 set or a 2024 set because the
inventory says so, why not use any 1x1 clip with vertical grip because the inventory
also says so. Does it really matter that one person (often later) said that they
found a particular variant in their set, so everyone else's set should be
the same if it is to be the real thing and allowed to be sold here. Of course,
it may well be true that they found that exact part in a sealed set that cost
them $100s, but should that impact on everyone else if they want to sell a used
set.

No but for the first few months I will keep them separated so that where possible
I can pick a buyers order with all the same type. Once I feel more confident
that the buying community has become accustomed to the fact that they could receive
either variant within the same order batch I may then start to merge my stocks
into the same storage bin.

No. I think such comments might confuse and possibly put off some buyers. The
a, b, c type variants only really exist because they were catalogued here. If
they are no longer catalogued here then adding a comment that you will get a
'b' variant will be lost on many buyers and may leave them wondering
what they will get. It really depends on which images are retained to show the
part once merged. Where vintage parts come from known sets, I think I will comment
as i do now on the date range or the set they came from, if those parts attract
a premium price.

Those are good arguments against doing it.

I don't know.
I've never pulled the trigger so far and maybe I won't again, but it
is another moment where I'm thinking about just walking away.

Post an image of the flag, front and back, in Catalog Identification. Maybe you
have a different flag than the one you think you have.
To check it's size properly in studs, for measuring it, simply place it on
a LEGO baseplate and photograph it.
It's pretty easy to properly identify it and validate that it's a genuine
LEGO element.

I already verified that it's the same size and coloring. It's the same

That looks like yellowing due to age or interaction with chemicals present in
the environment. Unfortunately I don't know how you would clean that, but
perhaps someone on the forums will see this post and help you out with some information.
It might also be the lighting has an effect on the colors picked up in the flag.
For future reference it's easy to add parts using the "Add macro"
button when editing your post, the part above would look like the below macro
I've added to this post, reply to this and look at how the forum software
inserts it to get a better understanding. For best results, use the "Add
macro" button, as it will show colors that a part has available for it, and
color information stops the error you will get when trying to add parts without
using the "Add macro" button:

Right, I'm aware of the other sets in that theme, but that doesn't really
matter since none of them came with the large flag. I had King's Carriage,
Skeleton Surprise, and Royal Drawbridge.
