  I think the reddish brown brick with old style clip is a valid variant. When
I sought out documentation for my claims, I believe I saw an unboxing video or
gallery that showed the old variant, but I don't remember which it was.

/Jan

I found it and have made an extra request.

Ah, thanks for clearing it up.

BTW - I still haven't found documentation of the dome tops with hollow studs.
But I'm convinced that the set came with these - either originally or as
a variant.

Part No: 973pb0489c01  Name: Torso Agents Villain Jacket with Orange Lapels and Buckle Pattern / White Arm and Black Hand Left / Metallic Silver Mech Arm and Pearl Light Gray Claw Right
* 
973pb0489c01 (Inv) Torso Agents Villain Jacket with Orange Lapels and Buckle Pattern / White Arm and Black Hand Left / Metallic Silver Mech Arm and Pearl Light Gray Claw Right
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

* Change 1 Part Pearl Light Gray {48729 Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw to 48729b Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw, Cut Edges and Hole on Side}

Comments from Submitter:
The current picture doesn't correspond with the part type. The bar has a hole in the picture (part 48729b). So what's the correct thing to do? Change the inventory, change the picture, or allow both types by adding a note? I have not found evidence that warrant changing the picture or adding a note. In fact, I'm not even sure that part 48729 exists in PLG. Only a few sellers that claim to have it. I have never seen the part in PLG, not even in lots that contain this torso. Noone has been able to supply a photo of it either. But there is evidence of 48729b in this minifig. Unboxing can be found here:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3198401

I therefore request an inventory change. If this is approved, I think minifig agt016 should be changed also.

My minifig also has the newer style clip, so I have a feeling this part does
not exist in PLG in the older style.

Here is what I think happened. The torso above was added to the catalog in 2008,
and the member who supplied the image is the same person who submitted the torso
to the catalog. Therefore, I believe that the image for the torso is the original
image submitted with the torso. The newer style clip was not added to the catalog
until 2010, so this torso entry could not have had the newer style added to it
in 2008. Once the newer style clip was added to the catalog, no one ever went
back and adjusted this minifigure and the corresponding inventories.

I think this change is correct based on all of the evidence I have at my disposal.

Request accepted.

Cheers,
Randy

I'm convinced that many sets from that period are not correct about the old
style clip in their inventories. In a large lot of sets I've found only few
parts with old style clips, but to make the sets complete according to BrickLink
inventories, I had to buy a lot of old style clips, because the new clip style
were not valid alternates, and I'm left with many extra new clip style parts
from the lot that I can't use. I believe this is the result of the old part
was never made "undetermined" like I've complained about for other parts
that I know result in wrong inventories but can't document because I don't
have sealed copies or sets that were never mixed with other bricks.

BTW - same issue arises for groove/no groove style cones in set 8630. The set
was in a large lot, but only one metallic silver cone WITH groove was found.
All pictures on Brickshelf show the cone with groove, but they don't show
any sealed bags, so I can't document that they're sealed sets and therefore
probably can't convince anyone to accept a change to change the cone or
allow the grooved variant as alternate. But my guess is that the set never came
with ungrooved variant like it's shown in the product image.

Comments from Submitter:
I bought this set used with these alternates. I've found an unxboxing/build video that confirm them. Included in this set were also part 553c but I can't find any unboxing videos or pictures that clearly show the studs, so I won't change those in the inventory at this point. But if anyone could help, I would be very glad, because I'm convinced this set was never mixed with other bricks. Video screenshots will be posted in forum.

The crocodile consists of 4 parts and doesn't come assembled (at least not
in set 60157 which I just parted out). So isn't the correct way to include
the four parts in the inventories and the complete assembly as a counterpart
for all sets in the above list?

/Jan

You are correct. The pieces that come in the set should be included in the inventory
with the complete animal in the counterparts.

I'd love to fix this, but your response contradicts what two other admins
say in this thread. I'll let you all agree before I do anything.

/Jan

My response doesn't matter if the admins contradict it. But you will see
that Russell didn't exactly contradict me. He said they belong there, but
they just can't go there for the moment.

But just because the part-out system doesn't work like some people want to,
I don't see that as a reason not to make the inventories consistent. That
work can already be done now, and I have even offered to do it.

My question was not related to part-out but about consistency between the inventories.
Isn't that important?

/Jan

  Unfortunately, counterparts don't display on the part-out page. Until that
is changed I think things like this must be left as is.
