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*

| | IMHO, the catalog for parts 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.

I can confirm that I had a sealed set as the inventory shows now (opened and

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.

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

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
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:

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.

Hi Ivana and Aleksa,
The item number has been changed from 32316pb01 to 32316pb081, for there were
already 80 of these parts with pattern.
Next time you only have to submit the part, a separate catalog request is not
necessary.
It would also be great if you would mention the book and pagenumber in your note
when you submit a stickered part, so we don't need so much time to look for
it by going through the instruction books. In this case: Book 3, page 44.
Thanks,

| | On the bottom of the inventory page of these sets, it is written:
The instructions do not show a trailer on the ladder truck, but actual set
contents and the official piece count (218) and an image of all three trailers
together on the box, prove that the set did come with the necessary pieces to
build the third trailer.
I found and bought an extra white-and-black sheet from a Lego fan in Canada.
This is probably added as extra page for instructions of 357 to some copies of
this set. I say some, because I had not seen this sheet. I bought myself this
set with box and all parts from a Canadian seller in very good condition but
this sheet was not there neither.
The paper I bought might be itself a copy of an original one because the bottom
of the page seems to not been copies (the bottom rectangle don't have a line
and there is no number on the footprint). I don't know how to verify whether
my sheet is original.
This extra sheet proves that the set did come with the necessary pieces to build
the third trailer.
I suggest to modify the note for these two sets:
The instructions do not show a trailer on the ladder truck, but one extra printed
page was added to some copies of this set (see the extra photo of instructions'
page) and actual set contents and the official piece count (218) and an image
of all three trailers together on the box, prove that the set did come with the
necessary pieces to build the third trailer.

Your thoughts about the missing line and number were right. But it's not
a copy of an additional sheet for sets 357 and 570, but it's a black and
white copy of the instruction of set 640-1, released by Samsonite of Canada.
Truck and trailer seems to look the same, but are not.
Released in Europe, Australia and Canada
Released only in USA
Released in Europe and in Canada by Samsonite
You bought this sheet separately, but submitted the image as an instruction for
both set 357 and 570, without any proof that it actually came in these sets.
In the attached image you can see that
1. your image is an exact copy of the Samsonite Canada 640 instruction;
which will never have been added to a set (570-1 in this case) that was not produced
by Samsonite Canada
2. if you compare the instruction of the images of 640 and 357 (570 is the same)
you can see that there is a difference in color of one of the 1x1 plates on top;
which also proofs that it doesn't belong to set 357.
Besides that, if it really would have been an original additional sheet, it would
probably have had it's own number, like this set has
Imo your paper is a copy made by someone, who deliberately
- wiped out the bottom of the instruction
- made it in black and white
Therefore this request and both your image submissions can't be approved.

PS I have two different instructions of 640 produced by Samsonite Canada, the
one without System in the Logo comes from a sealed set I bought years ago. Contents
of both is the same.
