for old moulds sold/sent to other manufacturing sites back then)

Hehe, unfortunately not... The same moulds are used for all colours.

Hi Jan,
Wow, that was really helpful! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me  If
only there was a way to guarantee the actual colour of the brick you're selling!

Actually: No - at least not properly.
| | Look in the instructions category of the set, and you will see that the last
image is showing the 'tall' booklet.
|
See
with the note "In some markets these instructions may be comprised of three booklets."
One booklet ("1/2") for the second model ("8270") is shown. The OP has
two different ones, named "8270-2".
Additionally, the set entry:
states "Instructions: 2 Booklets".
We're at 4 pcs in total now, so at least some correction (and an additional
image) would be required for the catalog.
| | Just make a note when you list them, stating that they are of the tall type?
|
Add an original photo of both leaflets (sell them in one lot, since it doesn't
make sense to sell them separately) and note that they are different than the
version in the current database. Plus, that you sell the leaflets for second
model only, of course.
Plus, add a fourth image to this entry:
here: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=I
(note: you need to chose set 8270-1 despite the printed set number being 8270-2)
and add a note guiding the catmins to this thread:

Standard listing and include your own photo and make a note that it is a bit
wonky.

| | Hi there, I recently bought (what looks to be) a very old Lego carry case made
from Globite. I can't find any details on it on the net, and I was hoping
you guys might be able to help me identify it. It looks to be from the 70s or
80s not 100% sure. Thanks

This kind of carry cases were sold 1974 in red and blue in Germany. In plaid
~1970 in Italy and Austria.

| Probably needs straightening out. For the ones that I submitted to the catalog,
I provided the height of the piece, which would always be 1/3 higher than the
distance that the roller coaster would fall.
In Catalog, Admiral_Brick writes:

"Elevation" is the increase or decrease of height a roller coaster car gains
by rolling up or down a ramp, right?
Then the elevation of these parts is 3 respectively 6 bricks. Not 3 1/3 respectively
6 1/3 bricks.
The higher ramps are exactly many times higher than the small ramp. One big ramp
consisting of parts 26560 and 26559 has the same elevation than four 34738 ramps.
With the elevation specified in the name of the parts, this would not fit:
2 x 6 1/3 = 12 2/3
4 x 3 1/3 = 13 1/3
The correct elevation is:
2 x 6 = 12
4 x 3 = 12
Kind regards,
