Actually,
The powers that be will be removing 3 of them from the catalogue in a few weeks.

But when you get to things like this, with a 1 x 2 x 6 arch, having something
like 4 variants, doesn't it make it too hard for sellers AND buyers?

I get the raised arch difference, that is notable, but this thin/thick thing?

  Hi all,
please add the color brown to the item 3703.
I have some of them and can't see it in the available colors.
Thanks, Martin

The list of available colors is generated automatically based on the set inventories.
So unless the item has been cataloged in that color as part of a set, it can't
appear in the list.

You can still list the item for sale the same way you would any other color.

Loupe, not loop.

Ah, that makes more sense. I was unfamiliar with the word, but I looked it up.

I have a magnifier with a light that gets me part numbers 98% of the time, but
Hygrotus' decision to become an entomologist and probably a bunch of grad
school and all just so he would have equipment to get the other 2% just seems
like an overreaction to the situation.

To me, yes. I have never been able visually to distinguish the difference between
the two without reinforcement - medium think - thin. I just don't see it,
try as I might.

You can always check mold number molded on the part's underside, magnifying
glass maybe needed.

Or a light piped thingamajig if you happen to be an entomologist (which is kind
of cheating).

I thought about buying an otoscope the other day so I could see the part number
on the giraffe guy's hat. Then I thought that might be a sign of obsession.


but I finally was able to read this mold number

I very much agree. This abiguity should be part of both the items for sale (sellers
not wanting to bother to distinguish) and the wanted lists (buyers not caring
whether they get the on or the other variety).

Taken a bit further, for the wanted lists this might take the form of 'any
shade of green', 'a brick of width 2' or 'the a or c variety
of 4085'.

Wishful thinking, but if this #1 upgrade is implemented in Bricklink XL, I am
all for it, despite whatever changes they might make to the interface.

In the first LEGO Movie 2 preview ( https://youtu.be/XvHSlHhh1gk?t=31 ) the sewer
babies are all holding weapons and the like. Anyway, I was planning on making
my own Apocalypseburg display, and of course, I want to have some sewer babies.

My question is: Is there such a thing as a baby body that has hands that can
grip minifig scale items (3.2mm diameter)?

Thanks,
David

Well, I personally don't care too much for mocs, but those restoring vintage
sets for themselves or customers DO care about variants.


Clips have a bunch as well.

I'm still learning them all. Its interesting, at minimum, and sometimes a
pain
