| Hi,
What’s the deal with
The part has been added to the catalogue but is not in any set.
— Brickset doesn’t have it anymore.
“Anymore” because, obviously, the BL image is a render from LEGO, and Rebrickable
has a link to its (now non-existent) page on Brickset.
— Rebrickable has it as an alternate for
— LDraw has a 3D model.
— I think I remember it being shown on some site (NewElementary?) but I can’t
find it.
Cancelled? Postponed?

| Hi,
I noticed a few discrepancies when downloading the catalogue data for Original
Boxes & Sets (and there’s no form to change OB):
* For these three sets, the box has a colon in the name:
* For these sets, the sets are in category Town / Classic Town / Coast Guard
/ Harbor, the boxes are in Town / Classic Town / Coast Guard. Same ID: 67 
So maybe an error with the category?
* This box appears twice in the list of boxes:
* There’s an original box for sw158-99 (not an item any more).

| Hi,
and
are actually two different patterns: the black one doesn’t have painted black
outlines.
Should they be split? Or should a note be added? Or does no one care?

| Hi all,
I just received today’s Insiders e-mail: there’s some German in my French! 
If anyone still had doubts, this’s another proof nothing changed but the name
between VIP and Insiders because it has happened a couple times too when it was
called VIP
“Good enough is the only best”!

¹ Actually e-mails: I once paid with PayPal, which is on another e-mail
address, and now I receive VIP/Insiders e-mails on both addresses. Yep, I asked
customer services (as an aside to another problem) but nothing changed despite
their assurances.

| Hi all,
According to the instructions, LEGO made sure to include an equal number of left
and right elements (see pic).
But I used all the right ones during the build and there’s none left at the end

| Hi all,
Two questions stemming from an error in Studio concerning these parts:
1. Are px2 and px21 using the same “Peach” colour? px2 seems more Yellow / Bright
Light Orange than Nougat.
2. Shouldn’t “Maroon” be “Dark Red” and “Peach” be “Nougat” (as used by LDraw)?
(IOW, shouldn’t descriptions use “real” colours?)

Does anyone know whether this part

In an unreleased set or in a set not yet inventoried here….
Thanks

| Hi all,
Asking before making any request.
I stumbled upon these three figs:
According to the inventories, the difference between the three is always and
only the head.
That means the third one has the same torso, “Blue Jacket,” and a Green
bow tie. So its name:
— is maybe wrong (the tie isn’t Lime, or it’s the torso’s description that’s
wrong),
— doesn’t matches the others,
— doesn’t allow to differentiate it from the others.
Any idea on a better name (or better names)?

| Hi all,
I was checking the prices in one of my MOCs and saw the prices for these parts:
Ratio is above 33:1!
Okay, they are rather rare (1+1 in one brickhead and 0+2 in another)… well, I
guess Sally gets parted out way more often than Bobba
Anyway, there’s 5 of each in the MOC. The 24299s alone double the total price.
I don’t (and didn’t) intend to build it. It’s just something I made following
a series of MOCs. But, phew! that was a surprise!

| Hi all,
Could you please make the effort of cutting out unnecessary quotes when you answer
a post?
It’s especially difficult and annoying on the readers when there’s a mix of top-
and bottom-posting.
Remember: you write it once but it’s read many times. Take your share of the
load.
Thank you

| Hi all,
is supposed to exist in both Green and Light Gray.
I have doubts they are the same pattern:
— there’s no need to paint a Green border on the Green part when a lack of Light
Gray paint would suffice,
— there’s even less a need to paint a Light Gray road on the Light Gray part.
Can it be confirmed they are different patterns?
If so, shouldn’t these parts be split?

| Hi all,
Are any of you logging in on multiple machines / browsers at the same time?
Do you encounter problems? (Being logged out for instance.)
I’ve never had problems but I only did it for short tests so I’m looking for
people doing it more often / longer.
Thanks

| It’s been a while since I told a joke here and a thread about building reminded
me of this one.
It’s banter between Grandes Écoles (specialised universities) in France, and
particularly Engineering ones.
Context to understand the joke:
— l’X = École polytechnique. Brainy (and military, which is a bit of a contradiction).
A few Nobel prizes and a Field medal, three Presidents of France, and many CEOs
of big French companies.
— Centrale = a group of Engineering schools. Good… but not X.
— Arts & Métiers. More hands-on. Alumni are called ‘gadzarts’ (pronounced gah
dzahr; from ‘gars des Arts’ (gah days_ahr) / guys from Arts).
(Not an alumnus of any.)
So, here’s the joke:
What’s the difference between an X, a centralien, and a gadzart?
— When an X builds a bridge, the bridge falls down. But they know why the bridge
fell down.
— When a centralien builds a bridge, the bridge falls down, they don’t know why.
— When a gadzart builds a bridge, the brigde holds, they don’t know why but it
holds!
Does this apply to LEGO building? What kind of LEGO engineer are you?
Me, of course, I think I’m a unicorn: I’ll build the bridge, and the brigde will
hold, and I’ll know why, haha! …until I actually have to build the bridge!
