  Or is this the reason the default images are upside down so the holes can be
referred to like a chin?

OK, I think I see now it is not as simple as I thought and the head piece and
mask of Makuta are shown in both orientations, such that the 4 hole area is both
a chin and also near the back of the head by the ears or horns (at least that's
what I see...)

I just noticed the mask that is described with a "4 hole chin", is not the chin
area. The holes are actually on the opposite end of what I would call the 'chin'
area of the mask.

Comments from Submitter:
I parted out this set from sealed bags. These undetermined rare parts are very easy to remember and have remained separate in my storage since the day I put them there. The other undetermined parts in this set have sold or have mixed with other parts so I can't help with them.

The baseplates should be part of set inventory, they are being used in the builds. Also this is consistent with other sets with this storage bin.

I've often wondered if/how light plays a role in how we perceive the color
these (precolored abs pellets vs. dyed (by Lego?) pellets)

BINGO, I like this explanation. If I look indirectly at them, I see the same
colours. When I look more directly at them, it's the shadow effects that
are different..

Did this part need to be assembled in original sets?
[p=2426]
This assembly is only in counterparts of set inventories, and (very annoying
to many) its high cost parts are in set inventories instead.

Comments from Submitter:
Looking at three different unboxing pictures and videos, it should be no surprise the boat hulls come already assembled. Pictures to follow.
Also, the instructions do not show having to assemble the boat hull bow or the boat hull stern.

You could add the assembled shark as a counterpart (assembly), I expect that
would be fine.

Is the part exactly the color of other Bright Light Orange parts or is it neither
Yellow nor BLO, but closer to BLO than to Yellow?

Quatro plastic is extremely soft, so it wouldn't be surprising to see colour
differences. I acquired a partial used set of

and I am not making
any claims that its contents are original. In the attached picture, I put what
I thought was a light purple wizard hat, and now realize it is dark pink, also
shown is a purple wizard hat (I have no other light purple for comparison).

Comments from Submitter:
The fist page of instructions shows the lengths of hoses needed. I am changing two incorrect lengths of Black 28.8cm and 30.4cm to 1x Black 32cm and 1x Black 34cm. (Actually 34cm is being approximated by the closest catalog match of 33.6cm, since the catalog hose lengths increment only in .8cm units)

Thanks.

Image looks ok. Resubmit it.

Could it be that Brown was never in a set?

Many of the early pneumatic sets require lengths of hose that do not correspond
to the whole number stepping of 'stud' units of .8cm of pneumatic hose
found in the catalog. I'm just going by past examples of inventories and
choosing the closest hose length. Given that the unit of length is .8cm, a choice
of hose from the catalog will be within .4cm of actual length.

here's a set from 1989 that requires 10cm and 6cm lengths of hose, but the
inventory uses the available lengths from the catalog of 10.4cm and 6.4cm
 
Set No: 8044  Name: Universal Pneumatic Set
* 
8044-1 (Inv) Universal Pneumatic Set
195 Parts, 1989
Sets: Technic: Universal Building Set

I changed the existing three hoses in the inventory of 9633 to undefined because
their lengths could not be correct "as is" for use in the model. Possibly they
were supplied as over-length hose to be cut into proper lengths of hose, (my
assumption), but they were not even long enough for that either.

Basically I was leaving the problem of what was the original state of the set
for someone else to fix because I can't solve that. I was playing it safe
and just adding the lengths of hose to counter-parts as shown in the instructions,
(as expected from a buyer and seller of a used set). If it ends up that all the
proper length of hoses were originally included with the set, and didn't
need to be 'cut', then these counterparts can easily be moved into regular
inventory.
