Does anyone know where to look for this information?

It was a Shell promotional set, so probably the same year or one year later.

under loupe there is no damage at all. Just one of those mysteries, I guess.

tan, consistent all over and it does not look discoloured.
The top area doesn't look like it is snapped under loupe and those little
parts that stick out under the fingers are missing and again under loupe no damage
and definitely not been snaped off.
Lego stamped on side. Searched through all out PDF sheets and drawn a blank.
Any help would be great, thanks.

It is just a list of all items in the catalog that have their default image set
to that corresponding color. The default image is the one that is displayed when
you first get to an item's catalog page. That's all.
BTW, thanks for catching that Pearl White error. It should have been "N/A".

I bought the part from bricklink my self in 2014.

Which parts have been on a PAB wall that have not been released? The BAM minifig
parts get catalogued and I cannot remember any examples of parts from PAB walls
that have never been released. Even if there were other legitimate routes for
other unreleased parts, it doesn’t mean all unreleased parts should be allowed
here.

I believe a lot of Warm Yellowish Orange parts were recently released at the
Florida LEGOLAND PAB? They definitely were never released in anything else, and
they were most likely old product from the model shop that had been sitting around
for almost 20 years. There have been lots of legitimate ways over the course
of LEGO history to obtain many rare and unique items.

| | Hello,
The Bricklink administration removed one of my selling listings. The reason was
that the parts were listed in a non existent color.
The part was actually a genuine lego part, listed in the correct color. Only
was it never released in an official set, so it does not show up in the color
guide in any set. Is it no longer allowed to list such parts? As far as i know
this type of parts could be obtained in a legal way from a pick a brick wall.

Great question, the baby dinosaur part in tan always confused me as it's
not in any sets, but there are a decent amount of them for sale.

It’s the part underneath the metallic gold paint of the metallic gold version.
Leftover stock that got sold away to the public years ago.

| | Hello, this has been bothering me for a while now, but several of the mask packs
listed either do not exist at all, or are listed with the wrong region.
For starters, the US/non-US distinction -- having spoken with several Canadian
BIONICLE fans about these, Canada had the boxed versions as well. Additionally,
LEGO's naming scheme uses the distinguishment of "IN" and "AM",
rather than "NA" or "US", which leads me to believe that they
were available in both South and North America.
Considering that Connecticut became HQ for LEGO's activities in all of America
around 1998, this also tracks: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/history/articles/g-production-in-brazil/
Further-more, I have found no evidence of 8530, 8559, 8597, or 8600 existing
in boxed form. Just Google them, there are no photos of them - because they do
not exist.
To go through each set one-by-one:

This one is correct.
This one is correct.
[S=8530-2]
This one does not exist; the image used in a prototype moccup of the box art.
Krana:
UK Catalogue 1: https://images.brickset.com/library/view/?f=catalogues/c02uk&p=64
UK Catalogue 2: https://images.brickset.com/library/view/?f=catalogues/c02uk2&p=80
(this onse seems to confused 8559 and 8597).
US Catalogue: https://archive.org/details/lego-shop-at-home-summer-2002/page/n31/mode/2up
This one does exist. The image is a digital moccup.
[S=8559-2]
This one is correct.
This one was released in America.

(has a dead link to 8598)
This one should be labelled non-American polybag version.
This one should be labelled American boxed version.
Krana-Kal:
This one should be labelled American boxed version.
This one is correct.

| | Hello!
I noticed that some sets like the Daily Bugle (76178-1) list the Doc Ock figure
with the arms included, but the one from the Monster Truck set (76174-1) didn't.
Could it be at least included as an alternate to the minifigure alone? It makes
more sense to me for the figure to be offered both with and without the mechanical
arms, but the listings including these are inconsistent.
Thanks for the consideration and any feedback about the situation.

Our current catalog guidelines for minifigures make the condition of handheld
items being added to the minifigure in the instructions the finishing point of
the minifigure build. So, for Doc Ock from
the figure is considered complete on page 5 before the arms are built and added
on the subsequent pages.
Cheers,
Randy
