Comments from Submitter:
Just opened a sealed copy and there where 3 extras.

I think you got lucky. 
I watched multiple unboxing and build videos of the set and compared them all
to the current inventory which was also compiled from a sealed set. All of them
only showed two extra treads. Since most people part out sets blindly with the
extra pieces included, it is best to keep the inventory as is for the most common
case.
Therefore, I have decided not to accept this change.
Cheers,

* Delete 2 Part 3245bpb23 Red Brick 1 x 2 x 2 with Inside Axle Holder with '95' Pattern (Sticker) - Set 8486 (Counterpart)
Comments from Submitter:
just built this set and the BL inventory says there are 2 x 3245cpb187 and 2 x 3245bpb23. These are actually mould variations and there are only 2 of one or the other, not both. The other two 1 x 2 x 2 red bricks do not have stickers.

This request will not be accepted.
It is correct that there are four red 1x2x2 bricks in the set and that two of
them use stickers. However, since the four red 1x2x2 bricks in the set can be
either of two variants (3245b or 3245c), then the two of them that use stickers
can be either of two variants (3245b or 3245c). The Counterparts area shows that
both variants of the bricks with stickers can be found in any given used set.

Wouldn't the two 3245cpb187 stickered bricks go in the alternate section?
Thats where they put the 4 3245c bricks. I accidently said "delete" but
meant "moved to alternate". Sorry for the confusion.
|
Counterparts never go in the Alternate Items section. The Counterparts section
does not always have a one-to-one correspondence to parts in the Regular Items
section. It is basically a dumping ground for catalog items that may be found
in any used example of the set.
Cheers,
Randy

That's what the change log shows. Sloppy copy and pasting.

No, the public form cuts off at 150 characters. The full name is pasted into
the form, straight from the list of downloaded item names.
Once the project is done, we will check all item names for this cuttoff and repair
them. Between now and then, if you see issues, feel free to correct them.

This set cannot be built with 48002b. It must have the '+' orientation, so I am moving 48002a to the Regular Items section. The inclusion of 48002b in the inventory is most likely an error.

It most likely comes from one or more of the following sets:

When someone can prove definitively that any of those sets came with the hollow-stud

These days, almost everything gets a very descriptive name, but that was not
always the case. Having said that, everyone is free to submit name change requests
on anything that they find lacking in description, and that has always been the
case.

All paper items in the catalog should be set to Volume Bound according to our
guidelines. Any new sticker sheets, cardboard items, etc. added to the catalog
get set to Volume Bound from the beginning, but ones that we come across in our
travels through the catalog that need to get updated get updated. To solve your
issue, you have a couple of choices. You can change them in your personal store

In this last batch of 100+ stickers whose package types were changed to Volume
Bound, many, if not most, of them, I had already set them manually to Weight
Bound in my store. Usually, as soon as I add them to my inventory.
Not something you have control over but I don't think these changes should
override my initial settings.

You are right. They definitely should not override your initial settings. If
they do, then that is another "feature" that should be addressed.

Although I appreciate it very much that you are looking into this, I would also
appreciate it if you would wait with more requests like these. We already know
that there are more items that can be merged for the same reason, but doing that
takes a lot of time.
The actual merge doesn't take much time.
But before we can merge we have to check if they are indeed 100% the same (except
for the color), then save all info and images of the items that are going to
be merged. All wanted lists and items for sale have to be updated.
And after the merge all this info and images have to be added manually.
So it's not just pressing a button
