Sealed Set contained 2 more each of these pieces. It did not have an old brick separator, but I'll leave that alone.

Is it too much to ask that we keep this all in one thread where I can easily
reference it? I don't mind reposting everyone's replies to the original
thread and I can go on doing it as long as need be, but it is taking time away
from approving new catalog entries which I was working on.

| | Dear community,
The inventory list at bricklink for 5804 (Belville witch's cottage) states
the inclusion of 1 trans-red plate, round 1x1 straight side (4037). However when
reading the instructions, it seems that 2 could be included: 1 at the top of
the yellow bottle and 1 underneath the skeleton head inside the globe. However,
this is difficult to see. Can anyone help here?
Thanks,
Pieter

Good catch! Yes, it looks like their should definitely be two of this part in
the set, one underneath the skeleton head and one on the trans-yellow 1x1 cone.
I have attached an image of the last picture of the fully built set from the
instructions showing the two plates circled.
I will update the inventory accordingly. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
Cheers,
Randy

| | | 3. Fixed values: head, pattern
- I expect some shrieking about the pattern attribute, but if all decorated pieces
are separated from plain pieces at the category level, the need for "pattern"
as an identifier becomes moot. Thus "pattern" can be used to distinguish between
a "head" and a "not-head".

Definitely shrieking. The word "pattern" is used throughout the entire catalog
to distinguish plain and decorated items. For most searches, the category attribute
is not used nor visible. Hence, in the current database configuration, the word
"pattern" is still essential.
There are things to say for changing this database structure, but as you know,
that is out of our CA's control.

One solution: suggest that this piece get its own category where it is neither
minifig nor utensil. 3626 has its own category.

Minifig, head is a BL designation. As such, it's arbitrary.
Whether splitting the piece across different categories is desirable or not is
debatable. Whether or not that can be implemented within the current database
schema is a question. If the trophy piece already operates this way, then I wouldn't
have an objection. Others might.
I have supported the concept that certain parts be found wherever it makes sense
(multiple categories) and not be restricted to a single category. I believe it
requires changing a field at the db level to accomplish that. Example:
being additionally classified under vehicle, mudguard.
It might also imply some adjustment on the part of sellers to modify their systems
to accommodate.

issues
1. Need to distinguish between 1-sided print and 2-sided print
2. Need to distinguish between things with faces and things without faces.
- 2.1 Need to distinguish between things with 1 face and things with 2 faces.
3. Need to distinguish between things that are heads and things that are not
heads.
4. Want to note stud type.
5. Need to note identifying attributes.
methodology
1. Fixed values: 1-sided print, 2-sided print.
- Might consider another value (top-print) for things like Avatar heads which
are printed around the stud. Or maybe not necessary and could be noted in attributes.
Anyway, fixed values here to aid search.
2. Fixed values: single-faced, dual-faced, no-face.
3. Fixed values: head, pattern
- I expect some shrieking about the pattern attribute, but if all decorated pieces
are separated from plain pieces at the category level, the need for "pattern"
as an identifier becomes moot. Thus "pattern" can be used to distinguish between
a "head" and a "not-head".
4. Existing scheme (blocked open, hollow, solid) seems satisfactory
5. Attributes should be considered by their side count and face count and presented
consistently. For any single-sided piece a straight description is fine. For
faces, I'd recommend a top-down scheme for consistency: hair, eyebrows, eyes,
mouth, scars/marks, whiskers. For two-sided, single-faced heads I'd start
with the character name if it exists, followed by Front, followed by Back. For
two-faced heads I'd start with the character name if it exists, followed
by side1 attributes, separate with a slash, side2 attributes. Color values would
precede attributes in "readable English" fashion, thus "brown hair" and not "hair,
brown".
Complete naming convention would be sequenced as follows: Attributes, Sides,
Faces, Type, Stud. This sequencing allows for the unique traits to
appear first, which is likely preferable to having those listed last for a number
of reasons.
2-side, 1-face Example:
Green Goblin. Front: Balaclava, Heavy brown eyebrows, black eyes white highlight,
smirk, dimples, cleft chin. Back: three black scalloped lines blue highlight.
2-sided print, single-faced head, blocked open stud.
2-side, 2-face Example:
Robot. Silver eyebrows, Lime eyes white highlight, clenched teeth, scuffs, rivets
/ Silver eyebrows, lime eyes white highlight, closed mouth, scuffs, rivets. 2-sided
print, dual-faced head, hollow stud.
Note 1: I have a personal prejudice against labelling every head that is not
"human" as "alien". I'd prefer to see additional terms such as "robot" and
perhaps "animal" where appropriate; these terms would also facilitate search.
Note 2: It would facilitate consistent data entry to have a part-specific data
entry form available on the site. The form would include any fixed values as
popup or radio selectors, generous fields for entry of attributes, and an image
or images with callouts to provide visual assistance and reference for the contributor.
Guidelines for data entry should be included on the form itself and not require
leaving the form to locate guideline information elsewhere.
Visualization attached.

The box art or instructions are not reliable because many times, the Lego company
changed a part AFTER the instructions and box art were designed/created.
For example, the light gray and black hinges on train 7745 are with solid stud
but they never appeared in this set.
For this set, I believe both versions were used but I guess, the inventory admins
would need more reliable sources (like a sealed set)
|
As Reza stated above, the instructions are not a reliable source for changes
to existing inventories when it comes to part variants. It is very possible that
both versions of the round 1x1 brick came in this set at some point, but we would
need more reliable data to add an alternate or do an outright change of this
part. For now, this request will be rejected.

Yes, they came assembled in the sets, but this was for display purposes. In the
instructions it is very clear that they are considered separate parts. As per
the rules, this means they should not be listed assembled in BrickLink inventories:
Part Assemblies - Part assemblies should be included in the Regular Items section
of set inventories only when the assemblies in question come pre-assembled in
the set box. For example, 2429c01 should be included in set inventories rather
than 2429 and 2430. There are some exceptions to this rule, such as certain large
animal assemblies. Another exception is when an item is pre-assembled for the
purpose of box display.
| | I owned this set in my childhood and one light gray 3736 was included. At the
time, I thought this part was included for adding a motor to the second motor.
See photo attached. But I didn't know the inventory of 960 or 870 motor sets
and this part was also included there.
|
I also owned this set and did not have an extra steering wheel (that I can remember).
The steering wheel shown in the instructions comes from the motor pack.
|
So the steering wheel can be considered as extra?
How can we know/decide if this wheel came assembled with tires for display purposes
or they just came assembled like some other types of wheels?
Also, in the set 8849, the wheels did not come assembled however they are there
for display.

My parents bought this set in 1990-91. I remember very well the wheels came assembled.
Few months after I got this set, my cousin got the legendary set 5590-1. Once
I was in his room, I saw he had built the second model of 5590 in which two light
gray 2695 White Wheel were used without tires. I was surprised it was possible
to take off the wheels from tires and asked him how hard it was to do so. He
said it was very hard. I then tried this on one of my own wheels and finally
took the wheel off (after some time effort) but didn't want to do that again
anymore!

| Thank you for taking the time to respond.
| | When this copy script was run (this was a one-time function), the credit was NOT transferred.
|
Oi. That makes for some busywork for somebody.
| | The whole rationale behind this image unification is because the management does not like the disconnect between a thumbnail image that shows one thing and a large image that shows another.
|
Woo-hoo management! Good call.
| | So right now, all catalog detail pages of those printed leg parts will show your
username under both small and large credits. But when the large image credit
slot is replaced by the additional credit slot, then the person who submitted
the primary additional image (the "default" additional image, if you will) will
have their username there instead, in cases where there is an additional image.
|
I don't know what the plan for this business is going forward, but it still
sounds problematic to me. I'd think you'd just have a single gallery
per contributor of images submitted, and credit the image in the popup window
alongside the image and eliminate all these other ambiguous and confusing and
possibly wrong attributions elsewhere.
| | It's hard for me to understand why an image of yours would get rejected, but it does appear that in each of these cases, your small image (80 x 60) was approved but your full size one wasn't.
|
No big deal. Can't expect everything to be accepted.
| | The second thing that has changed is that high quality images with a white background are greatly preferred over standard shots.
|
Although I'm not sure of the definition of "standard shot" is quantified
here, I believe this was always the case. The language I believe you should use,
if you want to describe this for future photo takers is: "silhouetted against
white". A piece of paper is white, and lots of objects are shot against that,
but the background in those shots I don't believe is what you're preferring.
| | Nice images were always appreciated, but the emphasis was on correctness, not visual appeal.
|
As we're seeing in some current threads, "correctness" is subject to revision
and whim.
| | So for example, the first minifig on the list currently has a large image showing
the neckpiece removed from the minifigure so as to show the printing on the torso.
In the past it was considered more desirable to be explicit about all details
of the figure,
|
This is not at all defined. What is more explicit: showing a minifig with a decorated
torso covered by a chest piece, or showing the torso? You can't show both
states at once. But explicit detail implies that you do need to know both states.
I'd think the emphasis should be on accurately describing the item in question
without ambiguity and within reason, according to a set of established guidelines.
In the case of minifigs, in the past, I believe that there was a preference for
a full-frontal image, and/or a full-frontal with a head inset if the face was
obscured by a visor or mask or something. In my case, if a figure has a backpack
or air tanks or similar, I try to make a 3/4 view where this element is apparent.
In the case of some divers with flippers, I positioned the figure such that the
flippers were very apparent. I'm sure some of these were not accepted because
they weren't full-frontals, even though they did more accurately completely
describe the figure.
Additional information can be conveyed with additional imagery, presumably accessed
via the image popup. Thumbnail imagery, though, should be simplified to the extent
that it can be while maintaining the most communicative immediacy possible at
a small size. In other words: the busier the thumbnails are, the more difficult
they are to recognize without effort.
| | but now the emphasis is on a presentation of the minifigure that will help sell it to today’s consumer.
|
The problem...don't know that that's the right word...maybe I can rephrase.
The definition of consumer is in question. There are lots of consumers. Some
consumers just want to buy a Darth Vader. Other consumers want to be able to
identify which Darth Vader, with a specific pattern and a specific head which
may be obscured by a helmet and so on. To one consumer the detail is irrelevant,
to another it's absolutely critical.
So, that in mind.
1. I don't believe it's possible, in many many instances, to create a
single image that meets the needs of both ends of the consumer spectrum.
2. Head insets and such do detract aesthetically and potentially introduce some
level of confusion.
3. Multiple-side collage images (front and back shown, also sometimes with an
inset) don't read well at small sizes. Take a look at any of the small black
torso images where there are front and back shown together. Those are dad-gum
near impossible to distinguish from one another. As thumbnails they fail to communicate
adequately.
4. Multiple side images may be misinterpreted as a "pair" of items and not "two
sides of a single item" kind of thing.
Trying to create an acceptable image in the absence of an "image codex"...particularly
in the case of minifigs...is challenging. A definitive set of guidelines would
be appreciated. Also, having the multiple images display in the popup is a step
in the right direction for the for the more hyper-aware customer.
In general, aesthetically, I'd like to see a 3/4 angle on minifigures become
the preferred angle. Here's why:
1. As time goes on, LEGO is incorporating more detail into some figures. Side
details on legs and arms become visible in 3/4 view.
2. Around-the-neck items like backpacks and airtanks can be more clearly shown
in a 3/4 view. Example: with full-frontal shots it's impossible, or nearly
so, to distinguish between an M:Tron fig with tanks and the same fig without.
3. From a technical standpoint, there are a lot of images in the gallery which
are shot either with a flash or the light positioned directly in front and slightly
above the image. This creates a strong white highlight on the top side of the
rounded part of the minifig legs (and sometimes in the middle of the face) and
obscures detail in those parts of the image. A 3/4 position would likely reflect
the light other than directly into the lens of the camera. The instruction to
turn the figure 30 degrees counterclockwise is easier to explain to non-technical
shooters than how to properly position lights, adjust exposure times, turn off
the flash, and the myriad other things one might do to improve the image.
4. Lego, as shiny plastic, can be particularly difficult to photograph well because
the surface is highly reflective. TLG itself tends to "paint out" reflections
in their promotional materials because of this. Any things that can be done to
reduce reflection and glare in the imagery is likely to make the image more communicative.
5. The "emphasis is on a presentation of the minifigure that will help sell it
to today’s consumer" here is being considered without context, and the context
should be an improved user interface sitewide, if greater sales are a goal. A
prettier set of thumbnails alone aren't going to be enough.
| | So in short, we think that your previously rejected images would stand a good
chance of being accepted today. And when in comes to parts, you have many, many
80 x 60 images in the BL system that could easily be upgraded to a larger size.
|
That comment elicits a chuckle from this end. "Easily" meaning I spend hours
combing through the archive to locate, extract, and upload them to BL. I appreciate
what I believe is the intended sentiment here, but, yeah. No. Not the top of
my priority list this week.
| | I understand the concern about mismanagement of images. But the site has actually not lost anything or corrupted it.
|
This is a matter of perspective. Or semantics. From my perspective, having one
contributor's content being credited to another constitutes corruption. When
the script ran that merged the two sets of images and the attribution was not
transferred, that constitutes corruption. The implication that you can correct
the situation eventually may be intended as reassurance, but (I'm going to
use metaphor here) in the immortal words of Cuba Gooding, Jr. "Show me the money."
| | If anything, we need to update the way credits are shown,
|
Yes.

|
That would certainly be helpful and much appreciated.

| Dear community,
The inventory list at bricklink for 5804 (Belville witch's cottage) states
the inclusion of 1 trans-red plate, round 1x1 straight side (4037). However when
reading the instructions, it seems that 2 could be included: 1 at the top of
the yellow bottle and 1 underneath the skeleton head inside the globe. However,
this is difficult to see. Can anyone help here?
Thanks,
Pieter

I recently bought a used copy of this set. The part are like new. It seems the
set was only built once. The sticker sheet is new/unused!
I contacted the seller who told me in return that she sells the collection of
her step-father who passed recently and that he built his sets only once and
kept the built set inside the box.
I also contacted a polish collector who also bought this set used but knows that
it was only built once and kept that way.
Moreover, as far as I know, the slopes 3040 were not released in 1980 but after.
(most likely in 1982, otherwise 1981). I have checked many used copies of 7730
and 7740 and could find out this timeline by checking the production date of
motor.

These big wheels came assembled in these early technic sets as the design of
the box confirms this too.
This set is from 1981 and the hinges with solid studs were produced between 1983-84
then they were replaced with hinges with hollow studs since early 1985. I have
had train sets from late 1984, but their hinges had solid studs.
The submitted most likely meant to add hinges with solid studs.

| | It's not so much that the instructions were wrong. The early Technic sets
each had a history of significant improvements. Many of them have multiple versions
of instructions (see this Bricklist):
https://brickset.com/sets/list-18333
...and often there are further improvements visible from box photos and early
advertising (see this post - corrected links are posted later in the thread):
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1027168
In this case it appears Lego added 2 more of the "new" 16-tooth gears to replace
a 24-tooth and an 8-tooth. This was likely to reduce the speed of the engine
when the model was being pushed fast.
Typically parts were simply added to the roster when improvements were made.
So I would say that there should be 2 regular and 1 extra of the small gears.
2 are necessary anyway to build the lathe shown on the side of the box (and 4
of the 24-tooth gears).
The 40-tooth gear isn't necessary to build any of the models, btw - it's
used for adding an electric motor. But growing up, this was the only 40-tooth
gear I had, so I was glad they included it! It should of course remain in the
Regular section.

On the box, middle top, the gears on the engine are different than what we can
find in instructions. At the time, I was puzzled and proud for this discovery.
There were also some mistakes in the instructions.
We can see in the image that two small gears 3647 were used. Indeed, on the right
side, two
were replaced by one
and one
.
There were a third 3647 as extra.
I don't know one 3647 should be added as regular and one as extra or two
as extras.
In Inventories Requests, SezaR writes:
| | This may help:
One gear 3647 is used for the main model. If you check the instructions, after
the end of main model, it shows how to add a motor. I believe the second 3647
is meant for this putting on the motor. There was also an extra.
For many years, this set was my sole source of technic parts.

I owned this set in my childhood and one light gray 3736 was included. At the
time, I thought this part was included for adding a motor to the second motor.
See photo attached. But I didn't know the inventory of 960 or 870 motor sets
and this part was also included there.
Finally, I found at least one mistake I had mentioned here:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1082472
The two blue 2*12 plates on the top of the wheels should be blue not light gray!

My parents bought this set in 1990-91. I remember very well the wheels came assembled.
Few months after I got this set, my cousin got the legendary set 5590-1. Once
I was in his room, I saw he had built the second model of 5590 in which two light
gray 2695 White Wheel were used without tires. I was surprised it was possible
to take off the wheels from tires and asked him how hard it was to do so. He
said it was very hard. I then tried this on one of my own wheels and finally
took the wheel off (after some time effort) but didn't want to do that again
anymore!

The box art or instructions are not reliable because many times, the Lego company
changed a part AFTER the instructions and box art were designed/created.
For example, the light gray and black hinges on train 7745 are with solid stud
but they never appeared in this set.
For this set, I believe both versions were used but I guess, the inventory admins
would need more reliable sources (like a sealed set)

My parents bought this set in 1990-91. I remember very well the wheels came assembled.
Few months after I got this set, my cousin got the legendary set 5590-1. Once
I was in his room, I saw he had built the second model of 5590 in which two light
gray 2695 White Wheel were used without tires. I was surprised it was possible
to take off the wheels from tires and asked him how hard it was to do so. He
said it was very hard. I then tried this on one of my own wheels and finally
took the wheel off (after some time effort) but didn't want to do that again
anymore!

Thanks, Reza.
I just wanted to also take a moment to thank you, Stefaan, and Fred (FreeStorm)
for all the help you guys have given me over the last couple of months. I have
learned so much about an era of LEGO that I knew virtually nothing about (ca.
1980-1990). My knowledge-base continues to grow all the time thanks to you guys,
and it is really helping me in my new role. I really appreciate it! 
Cheers,
Randy

Thanks Randy,
I should also thank you and Marek for your patience and all the hard work you
do.
I should also mention Morris (lego.12vtrains). He was a little bit busy for the
last few months and didn't write many posts on forum, but I have had regular
discussion about sets in 80s with him. Whenever I don't know something, I
write him and he shortly replies including some photos (from his directory of
photos for vintage used or new vintage sets!).
There is a reason that I am familiar with variation of parts and many vintage
sets: My childhood collection included parts from 1968 until early 90s. This
is something I didn't know at that time.
Cheers,
Reza

| | Well, now I can understand why the StormChaser is confused.
If the large image slot is going away, and the large images are going to then
slot into what now is the small slot...
...and I get keeping the small slot because the small slot had ALL colors of
a piece where the large slot typically had one "representative" image per piece
and not per color...
...then I think the solution would be to leave the small images as they were
(as those were the large images slotted down into the small slot) and change
the credit to the appropriate contributor.
If I understand the plan, which I may not, and apparently is also not clear to
more than just me, the plan is to replace all the small images with large images
as they become available. You're keeping the small slot because that slot
is already prepped to contain multiple colors of a piece where the large slot
is not...and you have small images of more pieces than you have large images.
I imagine that you'd lose ~70% of the images if you kept the large set and
abandoned the small set...because you don't have all colors in the large
set.
Right? So I can see the logic of that strategy.

Yes. Essentially, that is it.

That leaves me with these questions:
1. Why plug my small images back into the small slot? Why not leave the large-image-put-into-the-small-slot

to have to go back and do that at some point.
|
There are two different banks of "small" images. There is the original bank which
contains your small images, and this is where the credit on those minifig small
images came from. The images from this bank still show up in Forum macro tags
and other older pages. They are fixed at 80 x 60, and we have no mechanism to
change them, other than if we reupload an image as the main image, and then new
thumbnail will be written over the old one.
The other bank of "small" images can be larger than even the original "large"
image, and the original "large" image was copied into this slot in the case of
minifigs, sets, etc. (basically, anything that could not have images in multiple
colors). When this copy script was run (this was a one-time function), the credit
was NOT transferred.
In cases where the large and small image were the same, or the large and small
images both had the same contributor, there was (and is) no attribution issue.
But there is an issue with large/small pairs that had different contributors.
And fortunately that is not typical.
The whole rationale behind this image unification is because the management does
not like the disconnect between a thumbnail image that shows one thing and a
large image that shows another. It is fine to have a thumbnail that shows only
a portion of the large image. But jumping to an entirely new image is considered
non-standard and distasteful.
| | 2. All the legs images in question are recent contributions, and while they may
have slotted into the small slot correctly, that doesn't answer why the large
images are getting mis-attributed. And will the mis-attribution continue?
|
There is no attribution issue with the legs images. You are just interpreting
the credits wrongly. However, because your images are in almost every case superior
to what we have, and because we prefer photos for printed parts, I uploaded your
images to both the old and the new slot and put all other images in the additional
images slot.
So right now, all catalog detail pages of those printed leg parts will show your
username under both small and large credits. But when the large image credit
slot is replaced by the additional credit slot, then the person who submitted
the primary additional image (the "default" additional image, if you will) will
have their username there instead, in cases where there is an additional image.
| | 3. Are there other images in the system that are similarly mis-attributed?
|
As I mentioned in another post, there are thousands of images attributed to "Admin"
that belong to other people. We change the credit when they are claimed.
Other than that, I am sure there are plenty of cases where someone helped another
upload an image and the credit never got correctly assigned. Or sometimes a user
tweaks an image an reuploads it under their account - normally in that situation
we will credit the original user, but I'm sure there have been cases where
it didn't happen.
In short, in a database this size, I wouldn't be surprised to find a lot
of errors with attribution, just like there are a lot of errors in other areas.
| | 4. I probably do have large images of many pieces for which previously there
were only small slots. However, in the case of the small minifig images in question
here, those large images were uploaded to the system at one time and rejected
in favor of another (usually existing) image for whatever reason. If they were
rejected before, why would I bother to go through the effort of finding all these
things and upload them to have them be rejected a second time?
|
It's hard for me to understand why an image of yours would get rejected,
but it does appear that in each of these cases, your small image (80 x 60) was
approved but your full size one wasn't.
These are all minifig images, so perhaps they didn't show the minifig built
exactly the right way, or didn't show front and back. The images could have
been rejected for any number of reasons.
However, a couple things have changed dramatically in the catalog since you uploaded
these images the first time. First, we have an additional image slot and we are
not afraid to use it. So if a good image comes in, we don’t have to completely
throw out someone else’s image to use yours.
The second thing that has changed is that high quality images with a white background
are greatly preferred over standard shots. Nice images were always appreciated,
but the emphasis was on correctness, not visual appeal.
So for example, the first minifig on the list currently has a large image showing
the neckpiece removed from the minifigure so as to show the printing on the torso.
In the past it was considered more desirable to be explicit about all details
of the figure, but now the emphasis is on a presentation of the minifigure that
will help sell it to today’s consumer.
So in short, we think that your previously rejected images would stand a good
chance of being accepted today. And when in comes to parts, you have many, many
80 x 60 images in the BL system that could easily be upgraded to a larger size.
| | I hope everyone understands I'm dispassionate about having my images included.
It's not an ego thing. I am concerned that I and other contributors are doing
what amounts to quite a bit of work, and there's a bug or flaw in the system
somewhere...or some bit of information hasn't been communicated appropriately...and
this problem persists, which may result in you having to go back to the contributors
and ask for a re-upload, and so on. And we're all chasing our tails. And
each other's tails.
In any event, I appreciate your efforts here. But you'll understand my reluctance
to comb through the back catalog of images I've created (or create new) and
upload them and so on without some assurance that they're going to be managed
efficiently and appropriately. I just see no sense in adding load to an existing
problem and I'd guess you don't want to be constantly manually fixing
all of it.
Thanks for the "fix" but I'm just not sure that the "why"...the reason for
things being out of whack...have been addressed as you shared no comment on that.
|
I understand the concern about mismanagement of images. But the site has actually
not lost anything or corrupted it. The attribution problems with certain minifig
images are all going to get ironed out anyway as we prepare to deprecate the
large image slot. If anything, we need to update the way credits are shown, and
make sure that contributors know exactly why an image is rejected.

The official parts list in the instructions lists 3x of the trigger, and the
official part count for the set is 78 pieces. To have an official part count

All of this fits with the definition of what goes in the Regular Items section

"Regular Items - Parts required to build the main model and any secondary

Hi Randy
Don't forget that the partslist not always is correct...
I did not check this set and inv.

It's correct. Our other Inventory Admin is the one who inventoried it.

I confirm it once again. I had 4 triggers when opened it But only two were
used in built, one is always axtra so I was puzzled that time what to do with
this fourth one That time I added it as second extra and there was a note
about it that in parts list is three of them (now note is deleted). Then Robert
added this new definition and set was adjusted to match parts count on box
So you have whole history of it.
This whole year was strange with Microfigters triggers on parts lists and extra
one included
Check also those:
So it is not an incident. Some experiment with adding more extra triggers? I
don't know but it not happeed in next series in next year of Microfighters
P.S.
I just remember whole winter of the year 2017 was strange with those triggers
in SW
5 shooters, 6 triggers on parts list, plus another one extra in set
6 shooters, 7 triggers on parts list, plus another one extra in set
But in next wave of battlepacks everything back to normal
5 shooters, 5 triggers on parts list, plus another one extra in set.
6 shooters, 6 triggers on parts list, plus another one extra in set.
I have all those sets and they are checked with sealed set content
So this is not a mistake on parts list, such parts list with more triggers are
for four sets in 2017
