| Was looking through the list of gear not yet inventoried, and saw a catagory
titled "puzzle".
The thought immediately entered my mind, "Should I inventory it?"
Hmm this will be easy. 
Only three parts!
Ooowwwee...
1000 Parts!!!
Would it be right to inventory a puzzle?
Pro, when you are missing a peice just buy it.
Con, think of the work!!
Should I try to do it?

As some know area 2018 6-7 types of headgears and hairs popped up in 5 similar
colors , all with same partnr 95222 inside. With the lego logo and copyright.
I never checked then the partnr, as it had a logo, but the color blue was a bit
off color, also more friction then other hairs.
|
You're saying you have a part with the Lego logo on it that is nevertheless
fake?
|
I had it, but as die hard collector I've put it out of my hands. But yes
sadly. We live in a corrupt world.
|
I have no interest in these things at all but if it has the Lego logo why would
it be a fake?
Prototypes are prototypes for a reason, they can be (slightly) different of shape,
color, consistency etc.

No these are called qparts, non production parts. Prototypes nearly never having
a partnumber. I've seen only +- 30 prototypes and only like 2 had a partnumber.
These are added on the very final stage.
But you missed a part on my first message. There 4 different types of headgear
and 2 hairs that ALL having the same partnumber 95222. Which is impossible as
every part have a different ID. All 6 these parts came in blue, dark blue, brown
and lb gray. Slightly different off color and they having issues pulling them
of a head. Genuine lego qparts don't have this issue. You also don't
find this many same colors on different modern parts. Only red or lb gray as
they test the new mould in these colors. These popped up 5 years ago. Not much
info to be found. I'm sure TLG is aware of this.

| Hi,
few years ago I've added few hundreds of qpart (prototype) colors to the
database. sadly I've had a fake counterpart in my collection.
The blue Emmet part id 15443 is fake.
As some know area 2018 6-7 types of headgears and hairs popped up in 5 similar
colors , all with same partnr 95222 inside. With the lego logo and copyright.
I never checked then the partnr, as it had a logo, but the color blue was a bit
off color, also more friction then other hairs.
So I like to request to delete this counterpart from the data list and send my
apologies. 30€ wasted :o

| Hello, this is my first time posting to the inventories forum. I recently purchased
a used, incomplete copy of 7317 online (not Bricklink). This set is known for
having a revision where 4 of the instances of part 30585a were replaced with
part 30585b, with the longer connection point for the pneumatic tubes. The revision
also replaces a 2x4 brick with 2 2x2 inverted slopes.
The copy I purchased reflected this revision-- however, all 13 of
the tube joiners were the longer 30585b variant. As this "parts lot"
additionally included a complete 7314 the seller wasn't aware of, with the
rubber bands still in their original bag, as well as the instructions and box
for 7317, I'm inclined to believe this is a genuine variant from an extremely
casual, not very knowledgeable fan and clearly not someone who went to Bricklink
just to buy 9 more of the 30585b variant to swap in to the set for some reason.
I was wondering if anyone else had noticed the same with their copy, though I
understand given this was a used copy it may not meet Bricklink's requirements
to be cataloged as a third version of the set.

| | | This treatment is consistent with any modern such items where set inventories
from LEGO do exist, and those parts are included (typically, all as one "single"
piece) regardless of if they are used or not. Personally, I would consider
a set incomplete without those pieces, much like I would consider a set incomplete
without spare ammo; it's not a matter of what is used in the builds, it's
a matter of what is part of the set.

Tat is fine for a new set. But for a used set, you only need the parts necessary
to build the set. No extras or even regular parts not used in the build(s) have
to be present to be used,complete.

Certain sets only use one or two of the plume feathers from that wheel. But even
if only one is used, the other two are also listed on the regular items.
On this page https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562#regularItems in the
section "Additional Information About Regular Items" it says:
Parts on Sprues - Complete sprues are included in this section unless some
parts from the sprues are used in minifigures. In that case, the parts from the
sprues that are not used in minifigures are included in this section.
Now my question is: Why?
Example given: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=6274-1
and are not used anywhere on the Caribbean Clipper. There
is no official parts list of this set. But still both pieces are listed as Regular
Items on BrickLink. In this particular case the price for the complete set is
increased by approximately $10 just because these two unused parts are listed
as regular parts.
I suggest to change the Brickink definition of regular items and move those parts
from Regular Items to Extra Items.
Who is with me?
