Hello,

Since the category "Gear: Card, Trading Card / Ninjago" is constantly growing,
I think it would make sense to further subdivide the category into the respective
series. Can something like this be changed automatically by the catalog admins,
or does an request have to be made for each entry? The entries can all be assigned
very well using the catalog number, so I assume that could be done without much
effort.

What do you say to that?

Best regards
Martin

I can't approve this request, unless you can deliver proof that you opened
a sealed set or that you have different instructions. Please upload images if
you have somekind of proof.

You're right, I didn't think that far. I opened the set myself many years
ago and while I'm sure the plate was in there then, I have no proof of that.

Well, if you are sure your new set came with a 4x4 plate, then I would be fine
with approving this request. It is not necessary to have different instructions.

I also found this
https://www.flickr.com/photos/_tiler/23988932864/in/photostream/

and multiple used sets on Ebay (with box and instructions) which also have the
4x4 plate. Why would someone replace the 2x4 plates (the more common part at
the time) with a less common part which is not even shown in the instructions?

  
  My instructions don't show a 4x4 plate either. Please cancel the request


Martin

Thank you for your reply Martin.

The problem with these sets is that no one will ever open a sealed box again,
because of the value. I opened a lot of sealed sets in the past, sometimes I
think I should never had done that

So it looks like there will never be any proof if the 4x4 plate came with this
set. But also no proof that it didn't.

Going through Legoland instructions and Bricklink inventories it looks like in
all early Legoland sets 2x3 and 2x4 plates were used for small roofs.

As for the

 
Part No: 3020  Name: Plate 2 x 4
* 
3020 Plate 2 x 4
Parts: Plate {Black}

they came in:

 
Set No: 605  Name: Taxi
* 
605-2 (Inv) Taxi
14 Parts, 1971
Sets: LEGOLAND: Vehicle: Traffic
 
Set No: 650  Name: Car with Trailer and Racing Car
* 
650-1 (Inv) Car with Trailer and Racing Car
30 Parts, 1972
Sets: LEGOLAND: Vehicle: Race
 
Set No: 651  Name: Tow Truck and Car
* 
651-1 (Inv) Tow Truck and Car
30 Parts, 1972
Sets: LEGOLAND: Vehicle: Traffic

The Taxi was released in 1971 and sold in 1971-1972.
The two other vehicles were released in 1972 and definately came with 2x4 plates.
That is why I have my doubts: why would TLG release new sets with 2x4 plates
and in the same year change 1 old set to 4x4 plate??

My theory would be that the 1x2 tile holds better on a 4x4 plate than on two
2x4 plates. The police cars have a 1x1 plate on the roof while all other sets
from 1972 don't have one, so it was not necessary to include a 4x4 plate
in them.

  
 
Part No: 3031  Name: Plate 4 x 4
* 
3031 Plate 4 x 4

came in sets

 
Set No: 611  Name: Police Car

611-1 (Inv) Police Car
15 Parts, 1973
Sets: LEGOLAND: Police
 
Set No: 354  Name: Police Heliport
* 
354-1 (Inv) Police Heliport
165 Parts, 1972
Sets: LEGOLAND: Police

I will keep this request open for a while!
Thank you for your input.

Diana

Attached another one for sale in France.
It is very likely that this set came with black 4x4 plate.
Assuming this, we have no idea if some early copies came with 2 black 2x4 plates?

So here is the photo of mine. The box and instruction are from the left. From
the right there is no box. Both are bought at the same time. The right one also
has a 4x4 plate (Mould B Pat. pend.)

I understand the concerns and the desire for proof. But this case is more of
a theoretical nature, because Lego itself certainly didn't take it that seriously
at the time. As an example, I have many supplement packs in their original condition,
where the content was also filled more according to availability. Of course,
even without tangible evidence often more parts are included, sometimes fewer
or sometimes the quantities of colors are different in mixed boxes. I don't
know if the production process was already fully automated in 1971, but I suspect
that people were still involved. Maybe the trainee grabbed my packs...

No matter what decision is made, thanks for your input and time

PS. If you look at the front of the instructions with a magnifying glass, you
will also see a 4x4 plate on top. Depends a bit on your own imagination though

Hi,

If it is possible, it would be great if the Add to Wanted List dialog did not
close automatically. In order to be able to do both, a checkbox could be installed,
which prevents this and, when selected, displays a button to close. Standard
should remain the current state.

If there is another way to add all known color variations to the WL, the suggestion
is of course obsolete and I ask for help.

Best regards
Martin
