213 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1998
Sets: Town: Town Jr.: Cargo

* Change 1 Part {Trans-Light Blue to Trans-Dark Blue} 2483 Windscreen 4 x 4 x 4 1/3 Helicopter

Comments from Submitter:
The set-image shows the trans-dark blue version.

We do not usually accept change requests based upon box images or instructions
alone, as the box images or instructions can sometimes show completely different
parts than what actually came in the set.

Therefore, without further evidence I would have rejected this request.

Luckily though, I found a YouTube review for this set by BrickLink member go4bob
that shows him reviewing his original set that was originally sealed:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GGX_e6O12o

Member go4bob had already requested to have the extras of this set added to the
inventory in October of 2017:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=6330-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1

The set in his review does indeed have the Trans-Dark Blue windscreen for the
helicopter.

The only thing that I am now not sure of is if the Trans-Light Blue windscreen
ever came in any of the sets. I found some used sets for sale that did have Trans-Light
Blue windscreens, but they could have been parted together by sellers from the
current BrickLink inventory.

Since go4bob's set review agrees with the instructions and box, I believe
this request to be correct.

If someone comes forward with good evidence of the Trans-Light Blue windscreen
in the future, it can be added as an alternate.

Cheers,
Randy

Please replace the 3794 with the version 3794a. There's already a Dark-Bluish one of 3794a in the same inventory.

3794a in lime can be seen in build.

  New to this. I just ordered over 200 bricks from a seller. I want to place
another order but need to eliminate the purchased ones. How do I easily do this?
Any way besides doing it one by one?

The easiest way to manage is to enable the 'Items in order on Wantlist'
icon in the settings of the orders Placed page. A little scroll will appear.
It takes you to all bought items in that order.
Select the bought items and move all bought items into a new Bought Wantlist.
Then you can do a new search for the remaining items.

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 7725  Name: Electric Passenger Train
* 
7725-1 (Inv) Electric Passenger Train
483 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1981
Sets: Train: 12V

* Add 1 Part bb12va Black Electric, Train Motor 12V Modern Type I with 2 round contact holes (Alternate) (match ID 3)
* Change 1 Part Black bb12vb Electric, Train Motor 12V Modern Type II with 3 round contact holes {match ID 0 to 3}

Last year, I wrote a thread on Europebrick.com and requested people to provide
me the production dates of their 12v motors.
https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/158820-help-when-were-your-12v-motors-released-lets-complete-the-table/

I learnt a lot from the data I got and corrected the inventories of all 12v trains.
But two questions were no answered, one concerning 7725 and the other 7760. I
am personally sure now that the very early releases of 7725 came with bb12va
(I call this motor type 1; it has 2 contact holes). There is almost no hope we
find a sealed set and even a set with sealed content is not 100% trusted because
its motor did not come sealed in the box and could be exchanged with another
one.
So based on my date, the latest production date of bb12va is 41 0 (41th week
in 1980). The next production date that we found is 08 81 (8th week in 1981)
and it is the motor bb12vb (I call this motor type 2; it has three contact holes
and the pin is integrated with its housing).

Side note: the production dates in 1981 are like that 08 81, 15 81, 22 81, 23
81, 23 81,...
I think this is related to the fact that in summer 1981, the train 7725 (so the
12v trains) were also released in other countries like UK, France and Italy so
they produced more motors in 22 81, 23 81, 24 81,...

The story began as there were one shop in Netherlands who had a neat 7725 with
box. In the desciption, he mentioned that 2731a was missing, so incomplete. After
this inventory change request

https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=231333

The store was "New (and Used) Old Sets" and the user "jansc". He still has the
set in his inventory.
I contacted him and let him know that his copy was indeed complete and requested
him some photos and the production date of his motor. The production date was
41 0! He got three sets 7725, 7740 and 7866 form the first owner who unfortunately
had passed away. He had kept his sets in perfect condition, keeping everything
as the first day.
I also checked photos of 7740 and the production date of its motor. It was from
very early 1980 and the type of box confirms this (will comment more about this)
So I am sure the motors were not switched between the two sets.
Later, I found other used copies of 7725 coming with motor 41 0.

To be continued with more photos and comments.

Noticed that there's a set out there that hasn't been added to the catalog

It's a combo pack, but arrives in its own white set packaging with a special

It includes:
 
Set No: 41452  Name: Prince Puppycorn Trike
* 
41452-1 (Inv) Prince Puppycorn Trike
59 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2018

Set No: 41451  Name: Unikitty Cloud Car
* 
41451-1 (Inv) Unikitty Cloud Car
85 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2018
Sets: Unikitty!

Item can be viewed on Amazon here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C8LDN5J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hope it'll get added soon!

  But at this point, the inventory only states 11L hoses are valid contents of this
set.

Right now, I only see 10L hoses in the set. Was that a typo?

Sorry, I made a mistake. Because the set came with 11L hoses, I expected the
inventory to reflect this, and obviously I didn't see this inconsistence.

  I would at first suggest to change the hoses in the Regular Items section to
be the 11L hoses and then add the 10L hoses and 1L hoses as Counterparts. This
would be identical to how shorter lengths of string are handled in inventories
when they are cut from an original larger length of string. However, since the
1L hoses are technically not needed, we technically don't need to list them
as Counterparts either. In either case, the 11L hoses need to be in the Regular
Items section and the 10L hoses in the Counterparts section. I could go either
way on whether to also keep the 1L hoses as Counterparts or just not have them
listed at all.

Marek, do you have any thoughts on this?

I agree but await Marek's comments before making any inventory request.

  Hi

In set

 
Set No: 8051  Name: Motorbike
* 
8051-1 (Inv) Motorbike
467 Parts, 2010
Sets: Technic: Model: Riding Cycle

the hoses are 11L in sealed sets. But the instructions require the builder to
cut 1L off them (see page 39), so that they are 10L. So when selling a used set,
including 10L hoses should be okay. Also, two 1L hoses could be added to make
the set 100% complete.

That would not be necessary as the 1L hoses could be considered waste like the
leftover plastic from plastic sheets, the sprues left over from parts on a sprue,
etc. The 10L hoses would make the used set complete.

  But at this point, the inventory only states 11L hoses are valid contents of this
set.

Right now, I only see 10L hoses in the set. Was that a typo?

  How should this situation be handled? Should 10L hoses be added as alternates
or counterparts? And should the 1L hoses be added as extras?

I would at first suggest to change the hoses in the Regular Items section to
be the 11L hoses and then add the 10L hoses and 1L hoses as Counterparts. This
would be identical to how shorter lengths of string are handled in inventories
when they are cut from an original larger length of string. However, since the
1L hoses are technically not needed, we technically don't need to list them
as Counterparts either. In either case, the 11L hoses need to be in the Regular
Items section and the 10L hoses in the Counterparts section. I could go either

Comments from Submitter:
Hei BL i started putting together different Sets i bought some Years ago – sadly i can't find all of the pieces in the box i stored the Sets in but there are two Life Jackets. And it seams that there should be two Yellow Minifigure, Life Jacket in this Set. As they are shown troughout the instruction booklet…right? Check User FreeStorm Images in his Change Request from Dec 7, 2018 too

Grüezi,

The second Life Jacket is on the minifigs inventory:
 
Minifig No: hor022  Name: Horizontal Lines Red - Red Arms - White Legs, Black Ponytail Hair, Life Jacket
* 
hor022 (Inv) Horizontal Lines Red - Red Arms - White Legs, Black Ponytail Hair, Life Jacket
Minifigures: Town: Classic Town

You can see two jackets if you click on the link "Break Minifigs" on the inventory
page:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=6351-1&bt=2&sortBy=0&sortAsc=A

-Fred

As Fred so graciously noted already, the second life vest is on the minifigure
in the inventory. As so, the inventory is correct concerning these parts and
this request will be rejected.
