195 Parts, 2024
Sets: Technic: Model: Construction

* Change {2 to 3} Part Black 3873 Technic, Link Tread (Extra)

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,
Randy

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.

Cheers,
Randy

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

If you built it correctly, then yes.

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.

Here are the remaining parts with names cut off - see the letters in red.

Finshed. Please let me know if you see others.
