Then, in the other corner is another set of numbers "6-251"

Number of the mould and position of the mould part this brick was made in.

  Is this anything useful to us sellers?

It's useful for a few collectors, who collect special bricks and/or very
old bricks (mainly 2x4 test/prototype runs in most cases) also based on the mould
number and mould position number.
Not for the generic modern brick, though.

  Is it just something to do with the date/factory/machine
it was manufactured on?

Date: No. These numbers are part of a mould that will be/has been used for years.
Location: Yes, unless this mould has been used in multiple locations (happened
for old moulds sold/sent to other manufacturing sites back then)

  I don't suppose it tells me what colour the brick is? My word, that would
be so helpful! Telling medium blue from maersk blue or dark pink from magenta
isn't always easy!

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!
lol

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
 
Instruction No: 8270  Name: Rough Terrain Crane
* 
8270-1 Rough Terrain Crane
Instructions: Technic: Model: Construction
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:
 
Set No: 8270  Name: Rough Terrain Crane
* 
8270-1 (Inv) Rough Terrain Crane
106 Parts, 2007
Sets: Technic: Model: Construction
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:
 
Instruction No: 8270  Name: Rough Terrain Crane
* 
8270-1 Rough Terrain Crane
Instructions: Technic: Model: Construction
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.

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:
  
 
Part No: 34738  Name: Train, Track Roller Coaster Ramp Small, 3 Bricks Elevation

34738 Train, Track Roller Coaster Ramp Small, 3 Bricks Elevation

Part No: 26559  Name: Train, Track Roller Coaster Ramp Large Lower Part, 6 Bricks Elevation
* 
26559 Train, Track Roller Coaster Ramp Large Lower Part, 6 Bricks Elevation
Parts: Train, Track

"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,

Matthias

However the Logo and overall color is different. I think we have the same thing

Howdy.

I'm looking for light bright orange 1x1 round bricks with open stud (3062b).

I've bought several over the last few months, but there's now only one
left on the market place.

I was hoping that I could perhaps get more from sets (here or eBay etc.),
however looking for this part "In Sets" doesn't appear to net any results
- https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3062b&in=S

Am I reading that right?

If it didn't appear in sets (and was released in an apparent limited number)
where did it come from?

I presume that once that last brick is sold it will then be deleted from the
catalogue too, so no more will ever be made available

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Cheers

Ian

  I am wondering if there is a way to identify period specific legs for the original
classic space minifigures.

No logo / number in the legs or the hips.


  
  Also wondering if the solid stud head should be the squared off version as opposed
to the rounded version?

I’m not sure when they were rounded but I find them difficult to differentiate.

I have a couple unmarked yellow heads from old figs (the ones that had their
hands in their pockets and their feet like Charlie Chaplin) that look more square.
I have new heads (2010-) that look rounder.
In between, I have old classic grin heads that seem rounder than the unmarked
ones but squarer than the newer ones


  
  Anything to look for with the tanks?

There’s at least two versions / two plastics from that time:
https://www.leggodt.nl/items/lego/themes-minifigs.php?language=en

But:
— no logo / number under the “collar”
— no ridge inside the bottles / same diameter all the way up.

I only checked on a dozen or so old airtanks but the pip seems to always be
on the right of the bar on top of the bottles (right = the right of the MF, so
near its right shoulder).
On the 5 new ones I have, it’s on the left.
Could be chance though.


  
  I am comfortable identifying the original helmets and torsos.

Trying to re-assemble original versions and want to make sure I am doing it right.

I am comfortable identifying the original helmets and torsos.

Trying to re-assemble original versions and want to make sure I am doing it right.

Thanks for any help.

I tell you, for as often as I see questions about what this part it in the forums,
BL should put its picture and identifier on the front page for all to see...

There are a few parts that come up with some regularity:

Nice page!

This is a regular “slope 33 4 x 3” piece which appears to me to be very old,
as it is unlike a lot of other bricks of the same appearance in that the tubes
underneath are split and has “PEND” in place of it’s part number.

I can’t find any evidence of this brick in the catalog... does it just class
as a regular “33 4x3” brick or is it special/rare in any way?

Thanks for any help you can give

Bricks with the split tubes like this are older, usually from the 60's/70's.
I'm not sure if this part number has an "old" variant, but for the 3001's
and 3002's, these split tubes are classified along with the other 3001old
and 3002old parts. You have a very vintage piece there!

Probably something fromn the mid 1970s. The 3001old with these tubes were introduced
in 1973. Sellers usually list them separately with "with split tubes" in the
comments.

I think i remember a forum post from way back about the position of the mold
pip on the original air tanks.

Someone with greater insight than me should chime in

I am wondering if there is a way to identify period specific legs for the original
classic space minifigures.
Also wondering if the solid stud head should be the squared off version as opposed
to the rounded version?
Anything to look for with the tanks?
I am comfortable identifying the original helmets and torsos.

Trying to re-assemble original versions and want to make sure I am doing it right.

Thanks for any help.

  This part comes up over and over and over again. What are the search terms you
used when looking for the part? The title needs to be updated to make it easier
to locate in the catalog.

This part, the tipper bed wedge end thing, the train posts, the watch bezel,
and a half dozen others that show up weekly...

I'm of the opinion that many of these things can't be adequately described
with language and there's enough non-native-English speaking visitors that
would not necessarily be able to cross the language threshold even if these things
could be adequately described in language.

I'd propose there be a...well, I'd propose a lot of things...but for
this I'd propose there be a forum section entitled "WHAT IS THIS PART" and
that page would have these dozen always-asked-for items be permafixed there as
big, you-can't-miss-'em images. Those along with links to the goatleg
and whatnot. After that stuff, then a box to post the question if it hasn't
been resolved by the aforementioned.
