Comments from Submitter:
Please add counterpart 1x, part 3010pb152, brick 1x4 with ‘police’ sticker.
See booklet 2, instruction 27, there is the sticker added to the part.
Thx.

Looks like this is not the correct sticker for this set. The font on the sticker
in this set is bigger than on
 
Part No: 3010pb152  Name: Brick 1 x 4 with White 'POLICE' Short Font on Blue Background Pattern (Sticker) - Sets 7285 / 7288
* 
3010pb152 Brick 1 x 4 with White 'POLICE' Short Font on Blue Background Pattern (Sticker) - Sets 7285 / 7288
Parts: Brick, Decorated
Looks like the correct stickered part should be
 
Part No: 3010pb103  Name: Brick 1 x 4 with White 'POLICE' Bold Font on Blue Background Pattern (Sticker) - Sets 7498 / 7743
* 
3010pb103 Brick 1 x 4 with White 'POLICE' Bold Font on Blue Background Pattern (Sticker) - Sets 7498 / 7743
Parts: Brick, Decorated

i choose nr 152 because it is the same sticker and year it came out (2011) like
this part in white
 
Part No: 30413pb013  Name: Panel 1 x 4 x 1 with White 'POLICE' Bold Narrow Font Large on Blue Background Pattern (Sticker) - Sets 3648 / 3661 / 7498 / 7744
* 
30413pb013 Panel 1 x 4 x 1 with White 'POLICE' Bold Narrow Font Large on Blue Background Pattern (Sticker) - Sets 3648 / 3661 / 7498 / 7744
Parts: Panel, Decorated
this comes from same set 7498.
part 103 is much older, from 2008.
Am i incorrect in this?

It looks like Lego used different fonts for stickers from the 2011 sets. As you
can see in the image 3010pb152 has a smaller font with more empty blue space
above and below the letters. In set 7498 there is a bigger font with less empty
blue space above and below the letters just like in set 7743. See my attached
image of the stickered 1x4 bricks from the 7498 and 7743 side by side. So in
this set 3010pb103 would be the correct stickered counterpart.

* 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.

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.

Comments from Submitter:
The evidence will be uploaded soon.

Did you forget to upload the evidence?

Two more comments:
- I don't know if the bricks 3002, 3003 should be kep as alternates or not.
I don't have any evidence for them coming in later releases.
- I had previously submitted a request for adding one red 1*1 tile as extra.
I gave a reliable evidence. My other inv. change requests were accepted using
the same evidence. But that one was rejected with no comment. I would like to
know why (and it helps me to know).

Reza -

What about the clip lights? I see the thick-ring versions in the photos here:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=558274

The other Inventory Admin, Paul, is also the one who added the alternates to
the inventory back in 2011.

Did this set ever come with the thin-ring versions?

Cheers,
Randy

Randy,

For keeping early variant or removing them, there is no good solution but I have
my own philosophy
We know the later variations of clips and hinges came in early 1985. I have checked
light gray hinges since long time ago and I am convinced that we should remove
them for this set. Well, if one day somebody gives an evidence, we can add them
back but I don't think this would happen.

I didn't request to remove thin-clips for this set (from 1986) because I
have not checked enough number of used/new copies in the American market. I don't
know if those copies of 7823 sold in USA were imported directly from Denmark
or were produced in USA. This is a complicated case. My doubts raised as I have
seen few neat copies of American 6393 (with American box in the market of USA)
coming with thin clips in most colors (there come with 6393 in four colors) As
I have seen few used copies of 6393 coming with rare thin clips, I believe they
were still available in 1987. Admin Russel removed thin-clips from 6393 in Nov.
2018
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=6393-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1

Once I have some more data, I come back to 6393. Unfortunately, I don't think
we find any new 6393, let alone an early release!

Now, coming back to 7823, I think it is better I check some more used/new copies
in the market of USA before requesting to remove them. I will come back to this
in few months.

Cheers,
Reza

I don't know if 4081a was ever included in this set, but if you look at the
instructions you'll see that they were at least used when the set was designed
because they are shown in the instructions. And if you build this set according
to the instructions with 4081b the thick rings will block the rear wheels of
the truck. Of course this does not prove that the set actually came with 4081b
and it is not the only set where 4081b was included even though it interferes
with the functionality of the set.

I'll leave the 4081a in the set for now, but we can get back to that once
you have had time to check more sets.

We can remove the 3002 and 3003 from this inventory. They can always be added
as alternates if someone finds convincing evidence that they were included in
this set.

Comments from Submitter:
Source: sealed set contents

Some further information about my set: it is the redesigned version with the
plates with pins. The 2x2 bricks were 3003old. The set must originally be from
Italy because there was a sticker on the box with Italian text that I'm assuming
says that it's not suitable for children under 36 months.

The following catalogs were included in the box:
 
Catalog No: c88eu2  Name: 1988 Medium European (101382/101482-EU-II (D/A/CH/F/I))
*

Poster was found in new set. One box seal was broken but all parts were still in sealed bags. So all contents were almost certainly originally in the box.

Comments from Submitter:
New part variant was not yet in the catalog when this set was inventoried. This Youtube video shows 42876 in this set: https://youtu.be/FA90099sjvc?t=70

Original submitter of this inventory parted this out in his store inventory, so we can't be 100% certain of the part variant in his set. But he checked and he does have 42876 in his store inventory which probably came from this set.

Screenshot from the Youtube video clearly shows the smooth bar of 42876. In the
other variants it is textured like the rest of the part.

Comments from Submitter:
I got a used copy in very good condition. Even the sprues are there. These parts were extra in the box. I found almost all of them on the models on back of the box.

- The yellow jumper can be seen in two models.
- Two yellow 1*1 plate can be seen on the ship (left-side top) Sorry for the
quality of the image. The yellow plates 4*1, 1*1 and 10*1 are used on each side
of the ship, on the edge.
- Two 1*2 red tiles are used on various red or yellow motorcycles.
- It is likely that on the bottom left-side of model, three yellow 1*1 plates
are used. But the box art is not clear.

I believe three yellow plates 1*1 came with this set. Whether the third is extra
is used on an alternate model is not clear.

Based on your photos the presence of the red 3069b and yellow 3794a is clearly
visible in the alternate models. Can you post photos showing a bit more detail
of the alternate models where the yellow 3024 are used? It would probably be
a bit better visible if you posted close-ups of just those models instead of
the whole back of the box.

Still difficult to see on those photos. Unfortunately those box art photos were
not always very clear. But I think I recognize the 1x1 plates. So I'll accept
this request.

Set No: 7822  Name: Railway Station
* 
7822-1 (Inv) Railway Station
372 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 1980
Sets: Train: 4.5V

* Add 4 Part 3242 Light Gray Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Straight

The source is from a NIB set sold on Ebay in Italy.
I have also seen used lots containing 4.5v sets+7822 and 4 extra conducting rails.

This set is advertised 4.5v in catalogs 1980-2 but TLG included 4 straight conducting
rails too so at the end, it was both working with either 4.5v or 12v layout.

I'm not convinced that this set would originally come with conducting rails.
It seems more likely that this seller would throw those rails in with the set
as a service for buyers who might want to use it with a 12V layout. I don't
remember my own set coming with these rails.

Earlier I wrote that I didn't remember my own set coming with conducting
rails. But I guess my memory was not perfect about this set that I got many years
ago. I was just cleaning up some drawers and at the bottom of one of them I found
some old notes that I thought I had lost.

In those notes I wrote some interesting and/or unexpected things I found in sealed
sets. One of those notes states that I found conducting rails in this set. So
I guess we now have another source of conducting rails in a NIB set.

Based on this I will accept the inventory change request, but as mentioned in
another post I will change the conducting rails to extras and I will also add
a note that these conducting rails did not come in all copies of the set.

Comments from Submitter:
From sealed set contents, Catawiki 29351443.

Nice found Turez
  
  
Since I don't know anything about the blue 12V train era (This set is exactly twice my age! ) I hope someone else can help here:

It's a bit before my time as well

  - Should the wheels with gray rims be alternate parts?

If I remember correctly someone did write something about the transition between
the two colors of rims in another change request for a set from that time. Probably
Reza because he knows a lot about these older train sets. I'll have to look
it up when I have some more time.

Maybe I know a lot, but I still feel I know nothing about these old sets

Based on what I know so far, TLG started to produce trainrims in black since
1969. I won't be surprised if I learn they produced them in 1968. -Maybe
they first used all their light gray ones in 1968 and then used the black ones
in mid 1968.) But based on my current knowledge and evidence, they produced them
since 1969 and I think we can remove the light gray ones for these set and any
other set released between 1969-79.

I have photos of three sealed copies, all coming with black trainrims. See photos
attached. We can read the production dates of motors as follows:
28 7 69 (source: Bluxe) See photos 2 and 3
23 2 69 (source: Facebook) See photo 4
25 7 69 (source: from a Lego collector) See photo 5
16 2 70 (source: Catawiki) See photo 1

This gives a good evidence that we can remove light gray trainrims (but there
is still a tiny chance that the very early releases came with light gray ones.)

  
  - What is the wire with two connectors for? The photo shows it with 1x bb0236ac01 and 1x bb0093ac01, but the catalog image shows 2x bb0236ac01.

I think the catalog image is taken from a Lego catalog. It shows also 1x bb0236ac01
and 1x bb0093ac01 but in the image we can only see bb0093ac01
|p=bb0236ac01]
from its side so this is why it looks like bb0236ac01
 
Part No: bb0236ac01  Name: Electric, Connector, 2-Way Male Rounded Narrow Type 2 with Hollow Pins
* 
bb0236ac01 Electric, Connector, 2-Way Male Rounded Narrow Type 2 with Hollow Pins
Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

  
Probably for when you use the motor to build a car instead of a train. You can
see that the set includes the necessary wheels and tires for that. The train
track contact base is used to connect to the conducting rails when you use the
motor for a train, but when using it is a car you'd need a wire with two
connectors to connect it to the transformer. It appears that transformer 740
needs the bb093ac01 connector while the bb0236ac01 connector would go in the
motor.


Correct. This is what TLG did with other Lego train accessories or even Lego
trains. See for example the inventory of
 
Set No: 122  Name: Loco and Tender
* 
122-1 (Inv) Loco and Tender
96 Parts, 1969
Sets: Train: 4.5V

  Based on that it seems that the wire with two different connectors should be
correct for this set, but I am not familiar enough with the sets from that time
to be completely confident about that. Especially when the box art shows a wire
with two connectors bb0236ac01. So I would appreciate input from people more
familiar with these sets from the late 1960s.

Yes, it is correct. This set comes with two wire/connector assemblies. These
changes can be accepted but based on the photos that I have on my PC, it seems
the length of the two wires are different. Moreover, then length of wires, the
name of the items and maybe even the item should be changed! We still need to
wait until the catalog admins can have free time for the project map for wires
then we can make better changes for these sets.

Thanks for your reply. Based on your research we can remove the wheels with light
gray rims from this inventory. They can always be added again if someone finds
evidence that they were included in some very early releases of this set.

Comments from Submitter:
All 10 are required for building this set. The correct quantity is also listed at the end of the paper instructions book.

Two of them are in the inventories of the droid minifigures tlm088 and tlm089.
That means that there are already ten in the inventory of this set (use the break
minifigures option to check that) so this request will be rejected.

  Unfortunatly I didn't find any photos showing 2453a in red.

I remember that 2453b was approved to the catalog shortly after I inventoried
this set. Sets that I parted out and one for my personal collection had a mix
of both types in all colors. The one that I still have in my personal collection
has red 2453a. I'll submit a change request for it.

There were originally 2x x89 in this inventory. You added 1x x90. Should that
be 2? Or was there only 1 in this set?

'm not sure i'm submitting this correctly, but what I am trying to accomplish is changing inventory of set 9499 for part 4073 in trans-orange from 8 to 14.

i have built this set twice. both times instructions called for 14 trans-orange 4073.

Are there different versions of instructions for this set? I just did a quick
glance through the instructions that I found at Brick set and only found 8.

In Catalog, Admin_Russell writes:
  Hello everyone,

I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed longtime member BricksThatStick
to the Catalog Associate position. Paul served as the site's 4th Inventories
Admin during 2010 to 2011 alongside Emma (SimplyBricks). He effectively replaced
Dan Jezek, the site's founder, who had a special fondness for inventories
work and who of course left very big shoes to fill.

If you take the time to scroll through Paul's 900+ inventories changes:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?chgUserID=44744&v=3

...you will notice a sea of green, followed by a sea of blue, followed by another
sea of green. This means he continued to contribute to the catalog after having
once been an admin, which is (unfortunately) something rather uncommon. But it
demonstrates a great and correct attitude, the kind of attitude we wish to model
for all of our other contributors out there, especially the ones still cutting
their teeth.

Paul has, over the years, been very active as a seller and many of you will know
him also from his activity in the Forum. We look forward to his practical insights
and we are confident he will play a vital role in our growing catalog team.

Please welcome him back!

Russell

Congrats and welcome.

Looks like the sticker is applied upside down on the image of 3010pb274.

Stickers are also wrong on 44225pb001a and 44225pb001b. Stickers should be switched
between the two parts based on set images and instructions.

It also looks like technic half pins were left in the 44225 in both images.

I see that new images have been added to these part with stickers applied correctly.
I have accepted these request now that the images are correct.

Comments from Submitter:
The evidence will be uploaded soon.

Did you forget to upload the evidence?

Hi Paul,

No I didn't forget. There are so many inv. changes, catalog changes, adding
items,...that I have plans to submit, take photos, upload them to my PC, and
then, upload them on BL. The only way I can handle all these is to do them step
by step, as my time allows me.

This NIB copy that I purchased should be from 1988 since the box is the first
version (1986-8) and the straight conducting rails don't have holes and have
reinforcements under their notches (1988-90).
I have never seen light gray hinges with solid stud with this set. I even have
one used copy that I bought from the first owner and was an early release too.
The (light gray) hinges with hollow studs were produced since very early 1985
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=235359
So I think we should remove them from this set. If we find a reliable source
that they were used for this set, then they should come back, but I doubt.

The length of the wire in this set
 
Part No: x77ac75  Name: String, Cord Thin    75cm
* 
x77ac75 String, Cord Thin 75cm
Parts: String & Net
is 76cm.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to this request. My own set was in a location
that was a bit inconvenient to reach. I was planning to reorganize a bit here
so was planning to use that opportunity to check my set. But it took longer than
I expected to finally get around to that.

I can confirm that my set has the 3002old and 3003old. Also the 3242c and 4081b.
I had already added 4081b in blue as alternate long ago. I guess at that time
I forgot to add it in red because someone else added it later. But my set has
4081b in both colors.

For the solid stud hinges it seems very likely that they never came in this set.
The only other sets with them in light gray are from 1983 and none of the sets
from 1985 have them in their inventories so it seems unlikely that they would
suddenly show up again in 1986. So I think they can be removed.

Set No: 8641  Name: Flame Glider

8641-1 (Inv) Flame Glider
54 Parts, 2005

* Add 1 Part 6091pb017 Orange Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 1 1/3 with Curved Top with '2' on Checkered Background Pattern (Sticker) - Set 8641 (Counterpart)

Based on instructions, set images and image of the stickersheet I believe that
the wrong sticker is applied on [p=6091pb017]

This is the same sticker that is also on [p=3069bpb085]

Looking at the sticker sheet
 
Part No: 8641stk01  Name: Sticker Sheet for Set 8641 - (51896/4245775)
* 
8641stk01 Sticker Sheet for Set 8641 - (51896/4245775)
Parts: Sticker Sheet
it is the second sticker from the
left in the top row. The correct sticker should be the one all the way to the
right on the top row and that sticker also partially goes on a black 1x1 plate.
So a stickered assembly should be added to the catalog for that sticker.

this part with the sticker is of quantity: 2

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. But the correct procedure would be
to change the quantity of the existing lot to 2. I have done that for you.

Comments from Submitter:
The set originally came with the older type of this part

I bought this set with box and everything from Germany few months ago. I can
say the parts are original. Some are yellowed. And yes, all the light gray round
bricks were solid stud. Did the previous owner or owners replaced all 52 open
stud 3062b with solid studs 3062a? All the 52 copies of them? I don't know
if the submitter have an original copy of this set coming with light gray 3062a,
but I believe this inventory change request is correct.

Mine, like yours, was bought recently with box etc and - for the most part -
the correct vintage of parts. Also, so far as I am aware, 3062b didn't appear
before 1979, so while it's possible this set was packed with 3062b at some
point during its lifetime, it would originally have had 3062a.

Based on year of release I believe that this set must have originally come with
3062a. And it is a very rare part in light gray, so I doubt that someone would
have switched them all out in both of your used sets. It is possible that later
releases of the set came with 3062b, but we can always add it back later as an
alternate if that is the case. For now I am inclined to accept this request,
but I'll leave it open for a day or two to give other owners of this set
the chance to tell us if they found 3062b in their sets.

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1076924

Thanks for that link. So now we know that both variants came in this set. I'll
accept this request to change the regular part to 3062a and I'll add 3062b
as alternate.

set was changed before the first production run as the box art shows it.
By the way, my neat used copy also confirm this. I think this inventory request
should be accepted and it is correct. If one day, somebody finds a reliable evidence
that this set came with the light gray plates shown in the instructions, then
we can switch this back (but I doubt)
If you need a high quality photo of the box, let me know.

I have looked at photos of used sets and did not find any with the 6x14 plate.
At least none where the photo quality was good enough to recognize the individual
plates. Some photos where very low quality so I could not determine which plates
were used in those sets.

The 6x12 light gray plate should be replaced by a 6x14

What is your source for this request? Based on set images and instructions the
roof is made of one plate 6 x 12 and two plates 2 x 3.

This would also mean that plate 6 x 14 would have been produced a year earlier
than the oldest set that currently has it. I would like to see some convincing
evidence before I accept this request.

  Colours are only numbers though. So you’ll need to import the colour table (same
form) to cross the tables.

Okay, this is obviously beyond my skill set. Anyone like to show me, preferably
via screen shots, exactly how to do this. Please.

For the first part:

1. Download the set inventory as Tab-delimited (should give you a “S-NNN-1.txt”
file).

2. Open Excel, open the file from Excel (or drag and drop it), it should give
you an import dialog where you can tweek things (delimiters, how numbers are
read, locale…) but you shouldn’t have to change anything because the tab-delimited
file is pretty simple/default.

You should now have the inventory in a table.


If you want to get colour names instead (or rather, besides) their code, well,
my Excel is a bit rusty (I use LibreOffice now) but this should do it:

1. Download the colour table as Tab-delimited (should give you a “colors.txt”
file).

2. Open it from Excel like above.

Note that it should be possible to cross/match from an external file but I’m
not sure how, so we’ll do it in one file, the one we have the inventory in.

3. Select and copy the first two columns (others are not needed).

4. Go back to the inventory file.

5. Create a new page (it’s cleaner) and paste the colours names and IDs.

6. Add a column in the inventory for the colour names.

7. Use the VLOOKUP function for the first item: “=VLOOKUP( E3 ; region ; 2 )”.
“E3” should be the cell with the colour code for the first item (line 3). “region”
is the whole region with the colours in the second page (e.g. “$Page2.A3.B217”).
“2” is because we want the value in the 2nd column, the colour name.

8. Add a $ before every value in the region (e.g. if it was “$Page2.A3.B217”,
make it “$Page2.$A$3.$B$217”). That will block the values (they won’t change
when the formula is moved or copy-pasted or dragged.

9. Apply the formula all the way down, for all the items by dragging the bottom-right
handle.

Now all the items have the colour code and names.



  Hope that’s clear and helping

It worked fine until point 7
Then I just got error messages.

=VLOOKUP(E3;"$Page2.$A$3.$B$217";2)that's my formula

Not sure if this works different in other language versions of Excel, but based
on how I work with formulas in my Dutch version of Excel I think the correct
version of that formula should be =VLOOKUP(E3;Page2!$A$3:$B$217;2;false)

The false at the end of the formula makes sure that it will only look for the
exact value in the list of colors. Otherwise it will use the nearest value if
your cell E3 has a value that's not in the list of colors.
