  I submitted 2 parts, with pictures, on March 10th. So far, they are still waiting
for approval. Is there an additional step I need to take?

There's no additional step needed, just have some patience, for there are
558 items with images pending. Stickered parts don't have the highest priority.
But it would help when a note is added in which book and on which page of the
instruction we can find it. That would save us a lot of time going through all
stickered part submissions.

While waiting, you also can have a look at the names you submitted. Both names
are missing the terms sticker, pattern and the set number.

To see examples, you can search for: pattern sticker*

Thanks,
Diana

  IMHO, the catalog for parts
 
Part No: 92253c00pb01  Name: Mini Doll Hips and Trousers with Back Pockets with Tan Shoes Pattern - Thick Hinge
* 
92253c00pb01 Mini Doll Hips and Trousers with Back Pockets with Tan Shoes Pattern - Thick Hinge
Parts: Mini Doll, Legs
and [P=92253c00pb05] is a mess.
The image for both parts seem to have Tan shoes.

If you check the minifigures that contain the two parts, the images of those
minifigures seem to me to have mixed Tan and Dark Tan shoes.

My assumption is that the version with Dark Tan shoes doesn't actually exist.
I believe it is the result of the change from single mold with print to dual
mold without print. Painting Tan on Dark Blue will seem darker than painting
Tan on a lighter colored brick. So the "Dark Tan" print may in fact very
well be Tan on Dark Blue.

Please look at the comparison images of the former part. It shows the two different
molds with two clearly different Tan colors.

I have an disappointed customer at this point, and I hope someone will look into
this. Unless someone can find a dual mold Dark Tan shoe part, I suggest merging
these to parts.

/Jan

I am handling this together with your other request:

Contents as catalogue except one wire :

My 816 box contains :

1 x 766c28 light grey not 2.

1 x 766c96 light grey.

Can this be accepted as an alternative part entry for the wires ?

I can confirm that I had a sealed set as the inventory shows now (opened and
confirmed in 2011), but I also opened a sealed set in 2019 that has the two different
wires as yours have. Forgot to submit a change request back then.

I don't know if the suggestion includes polybags, metal boxes and blister
packs, but I can imagine that members also want to be able to search for that,
I for instance searched for metal box once. And I searched for foil pack many
times. If we would change names, I would add something like 'gift', but
not remove the existing packing. I would also prefer to add co brand Blue Ocean
to all sets.

  I saw an activity book with a cardboard box attached, maybe a future replacement
for magazines' blister packs, who knows.

Unfortunately you have to go to the co brand list first to be able to search
for them.

PS and it's very hard not to destroy the magazine when taking of these sets,
even the metal boxes are glued and magazines are already damaged in the store

Although this Alien wasn't mentioned as minifigure / character in this set, it is mentioned in a City set, so we decided to add this minifigure here as well.

  I have two different variants of this part, but it does not appear to be mentioned
in the catalogue, like I have seen for other similar parts.

I hope I am not overstepping by reporting this.

Also I would be interested to learn if there is any way to find out how the different
variants were used.

I'm working on this from the present, moving back. It will take some time
to check all 385 Mini Doll Legs, if Dual Molded or not. It will take even
more time for the parts like this
 
Part No: 92252c00pb001  Name: Mini Doll Hips and Skirt, Light Nougat Legs and Bright Pink Shoes Pattern - Thick Hinge
* 
92252c00pb001 Mini Doll Hips and Skirt, Light Nougat Legs and Bright Pink Shoes Pattern - Thick Hinge
Parts: Mini Doll, Legs

because they appear in both variants: 'single molded' and 'dual molded'.
Which means the part has to be split and maybe even Minifigures. For that every
single set has to be checked.

Since we admins barely have spare time to dig into the past, this will most probably
not be fixed this year.

In timeline the Mini Doll Legs came
- first single molded (some still are), later dual molded
- first thick hinge (some still have), later thin hinge

The left one on your image is the oldest variant.
It's a Medium Lavender (single molded) part with printed Light Nougat Legs
and Bright Pink Shoes.

The right one is the newer variant.
It's a Medium Lavender Skirt with Molded Light Nougat Legs and Printed Bright
Pink Shoes.

After these came:
 
Part No: 35216ac00pb002  Name: Mini Doll Hips and Skirt with Molded Medium Tan Legs and Printed Magenta Sandals and White Socks Pattern - Thin Hinge
* 
35216ac00pb002 Mini Doll Hips and Skirt with Molded Medium Tan Legs and Printed Magenta Sandals and White Socks Pattern - Thin Hinge

The reason I didn't add it as a Minifigure in the Friends set is that LEGO

It turns out that the same Alien comes in a City set and for this set LEGO does
see it as a character. So you can go ahead and submit it as a City Minifigure.
