There are 3 plumes listed in the inventory as well as 3 plumes listed in the
minifigs inventory. They are all different but I can't see where they are
in the instructions or any box pictures. Are these extras or a miss count?
Thanks

The onces in the inventory are what's left over from the 4502 wheels after
assembly of the minifigs

Makes sense. Thank you!

As to why they're in the inventory, they originally were packaged on a round
sprue with all 3 types and the child building the set could simply pick out which
style of feather they desired. I believe this was due to the fact that the alternate
models on some of the set boxes used one or more of the other two types in the
minifigs. Children building the alternate models were left to figure out how
to build them, and these feathers could be swapped out at will during play.
There was the leftover round sprue with parts still attached to it, which was
left to the child's imagination as to what to do with. Since then The LEGO
Group switched manufacturing methods and the feathers now come without the sprue,
which is presumably recycled at the factory.
Cheers ...

They haven't been merged there are still separate entries for normal (with
groove) and without groove.
They have been renamed to remove the "with groove" from the modern part
(well, 40 years old, but non-vintage part), and also renumbered from 3069b to
3069 and so on, so that the BL number correctly references the number that has
been used for about four decades and is not influenced by a part that hasn't
been produced for almost half a century.
|
3070a should actually be 3070 and 3070 should be 3070a. The same with 3069/3069a.
3070a has been around since 1965, 3070 only since 1972. 3 letters would also
be saved.
But what can you ask of the catalogue administrators in the meantime...

According to Russell, the 3069b and 3070b were never the grooved variety but
have always been the umbrella entity. The chosen renumbering reflects that.

I disagree. It should not be based on what came first, especially where the change
between them predates Bricklink and the internet. Nobody was calling these 3070
and 3070a in 1973 or in 1983 or in 1993. The 'modern' part had been in
existence for decades before bricklink was started and so it would have made
sense to call the modern part 3070 and the vintage one 3070a or 3070old. Most
people looking for a 3070 would want the modern part, not the vintage one. It
makes sense to use the LEGO part number for the most common version or current
version.
