| It happens when a part isn't split properly. The new variant enters the
catalog and the old one is not marked undetermined and the partner specific piece
isn't created. Often you can figure out what happened specifically to a
set by looking at when it was inventoried and when the variant was added to the
catalog and when the other got named undetermined.

What is the catalog inside your box? I wonder if it is from 1984 (most likely)
or 1985 (possible but less likely).

1983 Mini Overseas (119385 IB/OS)

Comments from Submitter:
The set this minifig comes from seems to have had 2 releases, one with Metallic Copper axes and dwarf helmet (on this minifig) and the other with reddish brown axes and helmet. The axes are catalogued in the Alternate Items section but the helmet isn't.
I have been rebuilding some of my older sets and I only have a reddish brown helmet which could only come from this set, and the axes being in 2 different colour seems to confirm this theory.
|
A new minifigure with the alternate helmet would need to be added to the catalog
to take care of this since minifigure inventories cannot have alternates.
Cheers,

| | I have seen a lot of sellers offer multiple different discounts. It would be
nice to have a filter that you can choose the discounts you want to see instead
of just all sales. Like if a shop has different sale percentages at 10, 25, 30,
50 and 75 percent off you could filter for everything above 50%.

I think if we had it you would come to see it was useless. If you were choosing
between Walmart, Target, or TRU, it would be useful, but different shops on Bricklink
routinely list things 3-4 times as much as other stores and those tend to be
the ones running sales. You can’t get much of an idea where you will get the
lowest prices by sorting by sale %.

| | I've searched for this issue and I'm not sure what to do.
I placed an order over two months ago and according to the seller the shipment
got lost by the shipping company shortly after. The seller has been nothing but
professional through the whole thing and I have received a full refund of my
order a couple of weeks ago. Both the seller and I gave each other positive reviews.
But the order is still sitting as "Shipped" and now I'm not sure
what to do. Should I just change it to "Completed" even though the parts
never arrived? I have no option to cancel the order at this stage, that seems
to be the prerogative of the seller, however only if done before shipping if
I understand correctly. There seems to be an option to cancel through the "Problem
Order" page, but that doesn't quite sit right with me either as it looks
like it would file a NSS alert, which is not really the case. I believe the seller
did what they could and I don't want to give them any more trouble over this.
Any advice?

You don't need to worry or do anything about it. If the seller cancels the
order, they get their fees back, but depending not he size of the order that
might not feel worth their time. In six months they order will disappear.

I can't seem to find the instructions for this set anywhere although BrickLink

|
I am looking at the spaceship in this set and obviously it is connected to the
box that Buzz came in on Toy Story 1 and 2, but it is a spaceship here and much
larger than his box. I see other toys on Google that are also based on what
the box would look like as a spaceship, but I am not finding where Buzz was ever
depicted in a ship like that. I didn't watch Star Command, but it looks
like they fly around in big ship with the cockpit toward the back. Does someone
who watched the show know if they ever used smaller maybe fighter craft that
looked like this or is this just Lego's imagining of what the box would be?
What I am trying to establish in my mind is if this is just a secondary imagination
Toy Story set or whether it is a "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" set.
All of the other sets that came out that year depict events in one of the movies.

No, the detail is completely gone. Who you bought from, and the break out of

When you download orders on Bricklink it calls the items in the order "details",

I feel pretty confident that those were not manufactured the same size. Do you
have a kitchen scale that measures decimals of grams? You can stretch the diameter
of a rubber belt some, but you can't stretch the weight and those larger
ones don't look thinner.
Rubber belts were handled poorly for many years. Randy and I have cleared a
lot of it up, but work remains. Bricklink only has PCC for the smallest white
belt and almost every white belt is . x37, x89, and x90 are all in inventories
in white and probably a lot of that is incorrect. But we can see from service
pack 9961-1 that all 4 probably exist (I say probably because we can see there
are 4 sizes, but maybe they aren't actually the same part as they've

I would say one of your sellers got ahold of one of the mysterious ones and assumed

I think in that picture there are red glints that are artifacts from photography.
I am pretty sure that the eyebrows are referring to the shape of the eyes that
seem to have eyebrows mushed into them. They DO give the effect of angry eyebrows
and it was probably meant that way, I guess, but the idea of a skeleton having

Yes, this. I generally don't check in advance, but I am often disappointed
when one comes assembled. I have asked sellers sometimes just to get an idea
what they are thinking. One told me once that he agreed with me, but his supplier
always assembled them. Having a supplier is foreign to me.
I had an order last year that I went to see things to add to and I picked up
a for a small part or two for my parts collection. It came entirely
assembled. I asked the seller how that was new and he said that set was mainly
a minifig so he assembles them. Leaving aside that this is beyond the scope
of the minifig rule, I really just don't get it. Unless you built it for
yourself and then decided to sell it later. It comes in a blind pack. You open
and identify and I don't see why you would then assemble it. Is it just
a little chance to play with some LEGO?
I often add comments for specificity, but probably usually don't. If I don't
say anything in my store it is from a new set never assembled, but since the
rule says what it says I have sometimes build a minifig and taken its picture
and sold it as new. I don't think standing them in a tent and taking a picture
is play. But even so, I would like the rule to say that only minifigs that come
from the factory assembled can be sold as new.
