I just parted out this set and found 5 tiles. Delete/add instead of change because form is still broken. One wonders if this will ever be fixed.

Comments from Submitter:
I just parted out three of this set and got 7 hoses. I checked the numbers on the boxes and the first 5-digit number seems to indicate that the sets there were from two different production runs or factories (I don't know what the numbers mean, but the number was identical on two of the boxes).

|
| Hi
I have a 8x10 remote control without buttons that I want to sell in case anyone
can use it as spare parts (e.g. reuse the springs). But because I can't identify
it by the buttons, I need to know: Are the inside of all five variants the same
(e.g. only the print different)?

| I found this among my spare parts. It has four small indentations positioned
in a perfect rectangle horizontally centered, so that can't be playwear.
Has anyone seen this before? Could a note be added to the part that sellers may
be interested in knowing which variant is sold just like the glass with large
sprue marks?

So now that the item type column has been removed, how do I perform the change
for set that corresponds to the correction sheet I recently uploaded?
Attached is an image of my form, but BrickLink rejects these changes with the
message "Entry #1: Item No required if Item Type is Entered". I didn't enter
an item type as that column has been removed. If I enter the item no. in the
first two entries, I'm told that it's the same as the current item no.,
so that doesn't work either.

Hi
Yes they are factory pre-assembled wheels.
The first ones that came out were glued or pressed together.
Same for the 3464c02 and 4624c01 and 4624c02.
(from 1984-85 till I think begin 90s)
Also same for the first 6015 type with the 6014a.
The rubber is also harder, the assembles are softer in rubber.

Thank you for the wonderful information, Stefaan. I learned something new today!
I am sorry if you ruined many wheel/tire combos due to my lack of information,
Jan.
|
I didn't. I always await responses from more than one person, especially
in cases like this where I have a strong hunch that I already know the answer
myself but need confirmation.
Should new, preassembled (glued/melted) parts not be added? Along with (or instead
of), maybe a note on the items in question about some versions being difficult
or impossible to disassemble (and notes on timeline)?

|
No. The preassembled wheels pop right off of the tires just like ones you would
put together yourself.
|
Trying to find a difference, I just disassembled one of the ones that is hard
to disassemble (I needed a pen to pop the wheel out by using force). Testing
against one of my regular 4624 tires, there is an obvious difference: The rubber
is harder (they require more force to squeeze), which explains why it's harder
to disassemble them from the wheels.
Has anyone noticed a difference in material used for the 4624 tires through time?

|
| I've just sorted out all my spare wheel/tire parts today. Most of the 4624
assemblies (wheel/tire) could easily be disassembled, but I've noticed that
some (10-20% of the ones I found, which amouts to about 50 pieces) are more difficult
(I must use excessive force and a tool, e.g. a pen). A few even seem impossible
to disassemble. Could all these be the factory pre-assembled wheels?
Looking closer through a magnifying glass, some wheels look either deformed/melted
or there's possibly some white glue spilling out. I don't believe they
were glued by a previous owner because I have only seen very few glued parts
in lots I've bought, and there are too many wheels that show this.
So two questions arise:
1) Are the (factory) pre-assembled wheels harder to disassemble than the later
ones that were not pre-assembled?
2) Could any of the pre-assembled parts (e.g. early versions) be glued or melted
together?

Comments from Submitter:
I bought the minifigure to confirm and I guess the case is a touch weak since she wasn't sealed. But mine came with 10mm skirt which is consistent with the other Marge and is also consistent with the catalog pic. The same amount of leg is showing. If she had an 8mm skirt, the showing leg would be about 1mm longer than the feet showing, but you can see it is 1mm less instead.

I can confirm this from a MISB-based set 71016.

|
| | | But at this point, the inventory only states 11L hoses are valid contents of this

|
Right now, I only see 10L hoses in the set. Was that a typo?
|
Sorry, I made a mistake. Because the set came with 11L hoses, I expected the
inventory to reflect this, and obviously I didn't see this inconsistence.
| I would at first suggest to change the hoses in the Regular Items section to
be the 11L hoses and then add the 10L hoses and 1L hoses as Counterparts. This
would be identical to how shorter lengths of string are handled in inventories
when they are cut from an original larger length of string. However, since the
1L hoses are technically not needed, we technically don't need to list them
as Counterparts either. In either case, the 11L hoses need to be in the Regular
Items section and the 10L hoses in the Counterparts section. I could go either
way on whether to also keep the 1L hoses as Counterparts or just not have them
listed at all.
Marek, do you have any thoughts on this?
|
I agree but await Marek's comments before making any inventory request.

|
| Hi
In set
the hoses are 11L in sealed sets. But the instructions require the builder to
cut 1L off them (see page 39), so that they are 10L. So when selling a used set,
including 10L hoses should be okay. Also, two 1L hoses could be added to make
the set 100% complete. But at this point, the inventory only states 11L hoses
are valid contents of this set.
How should this situation be handled? Should 10L hoses be added as alternates
or counterparts? And should the 1L hoses be added as extras?
