Should I just list them as 4070?

Thankfully, since there are so many headlight bricks with varying levels of partial
holes. It was definitely a manufacturing defect.


You think the horizontal slot is a defect?

I believe, until Lego says otherwise, the slot is meant to be like this.

Out of all my 4070 at least 80% have a slot, no matter what year or color, no
matter what set it came from.
Too much for a defect.

It is a slot that is always the same form, sharply formed, very straight and
small.

I think it could be made for pressure relieve.

Yes, if you look from the inside, the hole is always moulded there. Sometimes
there is a thin skin over it. I think all my newer parts have the slot, with
older ones being hit and miss.

I believe the note on the part 'This part is occasionally found with a small
horizontal slot in the front near the base. This is believed to be an unintentional
feature.' is incorrect. Should be the other way round 'occasionally
found WITHOUT a small...'

Exactly my idea!
Maybe we should ask for a catalog change.

Part No: 3943b  Name: Cone 4 x 4 x 2 with Axle Hole

3943b Cone 4 x 4 x 2 with Axle Hole
Parts: Cone

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3943b#T=S&C=2&O={"color":2,"rpp":"500","iconly":0}

Rare and expensive, if it really exists and these 2 lots for sale are not typo's.

But I suspect that they are yellowed to the point where they look 'Tan'....

What I don’t suspect but know is that they do not sell for these prices, at least
not in the last 6 months.

I have a potential buyer for a 6x14 plate, a red one.
This red plate is an old one and weighs 12,1 grams while the Bricklinkcatalog
mentions 11 grams.

I checked it with a new lbg 6x14 plate and this plate weighs 11 grams.

So quite some difference with about 10%.

Is this normal for older versions?

  I had enough of these in the last few weeks that waiting 2 full weeks is painful
to complete them.

I don't mind the 1 week to pay before it is started. But another full 7 days
to complete the NPB is not necessary.

I would propose 3 additional days and that is it. Let us get our stock back
in our stores to sell to someone else instead of being held at our will for 14
full days when 10 is plenty enough.

I can't be the only one that feels this way and 14 days might have worked
10-15 years ago when access to Smart-Phones wasn't as widespread, but these
days, you can't go far without having the ability to respond. Thanks

I agree, an NPB takes too long.
In rare occassions a payment is made after an NPB but most of the time it results
in a finished NPB.

So for me a week waiting after an order is made is okay but 3 days after starting
an NPB should be enough.
The warning signs for an NPB are enough to shake the buyer awake and response
to the sellers messages and NPB.
