I bought a sealed 6377. I can see through the plastic window that tt comes with
black 3003old and two trans-red sprues. I cannot see the trans-green one.
I have bought 4 copies of 6377: 3 American and one Canadian. All comes with black
hinges
 
Part No: 4073  Name: Plate, Round 1 x 1
* 
4073 Plate, Round 1 x 1

Two of them are in near new condition. We know these hinges are produced since
early 1985. but unfortunately I cannot see them -or find them) through the plastic
window in my sealed copy.

and Hollow Studs) and 4276 marked for deletion. This will force all of the inventories
for these parts to be reexamined and we can reconsider this set then.

If you would care to get the ball rolling on that, please submit a 4276b to the
catalog referencing this post.

Cheers,
Randy

The submitted did many inventory change requests, but he/she did one single change
for these hinges
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?chgUserID=598&v=3

As I have checked many sets between 1985-87 for these sets, I found-out the hinges
were or are not correct. I have already submitted and changed many of them. I
don't think the submitter was aware of the variations. So far, I did not
encounter any set from 1985 or later coming with hinges with solid stud.
Similarly for the thin/thick clips 4081a or 4081b. Once I contacted many sellers
in US whoe listed yellow clips 4081a in their store and requested them to check
if they truly had yellow 4081a, or maybe 4081b. Most of those who replied me
didn't have 4081a, but 4081b!
I still think that only hinges with hollow stud came with this set. Maybe only
very few copies on early production came with hinges with solid stud, but that
would be something less than 1% of the total copies of this set.

  Before any more changes are made in any more inventories concerning
 
Part No: 4276  Name: Hinge Plate 1 x 2 with 2 Fingers on End (Undetermined Type)
* 
4276 Hinge Plate 1 x 2 with 2 Fingers on End (Undetermined Type)

and Hollow Studs) and 4276 marked for deletion. This will force all of the inventories
for these parts to be reexamined and we can reconsider this set then.

If you would care to get the ball rolling on that, please submit a 4276b to the
catalog referencing this post.

I will hopefully do this over the weekend. I also take comparison photos between
4081a and 4081b, similarly for clips 4081a and 4081b.
