Set No: 8425  Name: Black Hawk
* 
8425-1 (Inv) Black Hawk
470 Parts, 1996
Sets: Technic: Model: Airport

* Delete 36 Part 4265a Light Gray Technic Bush 1/2 Toothed Type I
* Add 36 Part 4265b Light Gray Technic Bush 1/2 Toothed Type II

Comments from Submitter:
From my own set which I had from new.

Set was originally inventoried from instructions so we don't have evidence
that 4265a was ever in this set. It can always be added again if evidence is
found for its inclusion in this set but based on the part's timeline it's
likely that only 4265b was ever included in this set.

There is no image for the "Central Perk" glass panel and the 1x4 "Service" tile

missing (and still not awaiting approval) are the black 1x4x3 menu tile and the
sticker sheet.

Additionally the inventory still contains most of the minifigures parts which
obviously need to be removed. The Pearl gold cone listed is also the wrong variety.

It almost feels like the member doing the inventory for this set doesn't
have the set in hand: this should be a requirement, especially for an exclusive
set like this.

If an admin will release this inventory to me I will double-check it, remove
the extraneous parts, add the missing parts to the catalog, and have it ready
for approval today. I parted out five of these more than a week ago and have
been waiting far too long for the inventory to be completed!

We will contact the member doing the inventory and see what is going on. If we
do not hear back from them or they are unwilling to finish the inventory in a
certain amount of time after being contacted by us, the inventory will be released
for you or someone else to do it.

OK. Thanks for the reply.

Do we really need to give this person more time after there has been little-to-no
progress for a week? Surely I'm not the only seller waiting to part out
this set. I could have had it ready by now but unfortunately the rest of my
week looks busy so hopefully someone else can take over it.

I thought inventories for new, in-production sets were supposed to be completed
using a new, sealed set (not instructions like is indicated for this set). Maybe
my recall is fuzzy but I thought I read that here.

Also, after reviewing the inventory again, in addition to the problems I already
noted there are some problems with the extras section too: there is no way that
this set includes any pieces in violet or light orange. I fear this inventory
will need some extensive review.

Nope. Nobody is working on that set.

Look like i will have to wait before part out.
Thank you

Why wait for someone else?

You could try your hand at doing the inventory yourself since you have the set
on hand and allow everyone to benefit from your benevolence.

Cheers,
Randy

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 4549  Name: Container Double Stack
* 
4549-1 (Inv) Container Double Stack
443 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1993
Sets: Train: 9V

* Add 1 Part 2972a Light Gray Train Base 6 x 34 Split-Level with Bottom Tubes and Three Holes at Each End (match ID 1)
* Change 1 Part Light Gray 2972 Train Base 6 x 34 Split-Level with Bottom Tubes {Regular to Alternate} {match ID 0 to 1}

The first variant has three hols on each end as it shows on the instructions.
It was used in starting 1993 for this set and 4547-1. In later productions, the
later variant with one hole on each end was produced coming with this set too.
See
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/lego-system-4549-container-double-412853958

The set you linked to shows proof for the one-hole version, but I do not feel
comfortable to add the three-hole version just based on the instructions.

At this time,
 
Part No: 2972  Name: Train Base 6 x 34 Split-Level with Bottom Tubes (Undetermined Type)
* 
2972 Train Base 6 x 34 Split-Level with Bottom Tubes (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Train
Marked for Deletion
is basically a catch-all entry since it can include both versions of the part
as the catalog note states. Therefore, the inventory is technically not incorrect
until the one-hole version gets its own catalog entry and this part gets marked
for deletion.

Any additional thoughts on this, Paul?

Randy

Hi Randy,

In my opinion, there is no doubt the three-hole was the first version and it
was used for both sets 4547 and 4549. The set 4549 was available in US only as
"shop at home" as far as I see in the catalogs which is why it is rare there.
If you check in some European markets, most copies come with 3-hole versions.
Let me share my thoughts on this one.

This piece is rare, appeared only in early releases of there two sets. If not,
then we should assume that TLG produced both versions since very early 1993,
used the one-hole version for 4547-1 (against the instructions) and the three-hole
version for 4549-1 and later, they used the one-hole version for 4547-1 too.
Then as most used copies of 4549-1 in Europe come with 3-hole versions, we should
also assume that their owners replaced the original 1-hole one with the 3-hole
version.

Here are two used copies. I also bought one copy from Germany coming with 3-hole
variant
https://picclick.de/Lego-System-4549-Container-Double-Stack-Road-%C2%B4n%C2%B4-Rail-153552552889.html

https://picclick.de/LEGO-Containertransportwagen-Container-Double-Stack-Set-Nr-4549-183867635295.html

It is possible to find an opened new copy of 4549-1 coming with 3-hole version,
sometime in the future but then, how can we be sure that this piece would be
original to the set as it does not come in a sealed bag?

I have ordered a light tent but I am not sure I have the one-hole version. I
need to check my second copy of 4549-1. But I can add it to the catalog and then,
you can decide on how to proceed with the inventory of this set.

Reza

I have just submitted 2972b to the catalog for the one hole variant so that we
can get rid of the undetermined 2972 in inventories. Based on your findings it
seems unlikely that several sellers of used sets would have somehow found a rare
2972a to include in their used sets, so I believe that it came in early production
runs of 4549. The fact that instructions and box art also show 2972a supports
the theory that 2972a was the first version and since both this and 4547 were
released in the same year it would have come in early productions runs of both
sets while 2972b would have come in later production runs of both sets.
