Hello Admins (Stormchaser?)

I've been listing several minifig components within my store, and I noticed
that for this item
 
Part No: 15339  Name: Minifigure Armor Breastplate with Shoulder Pads and Front Stud
* 
15339 Minifigure Armor Breastplate with Shoulder Pads and Front Stud
Parts: Minifigure, Body Wear

It's listed to have been released in 2014

I've got one with the 2012 date.

Can this be rectified?

Mine is Flat Silver.

Regards,

Paul

(Also, please check out my other catalogue suggestion?)

Ah...

Yes, that does make sense.

Thank you

(I was looking via dates to find things in the catalogue as I couldn't quite
see this item)

BrickLink's part timelines are based on appearances in sets. So we have
a timeline for a part (2014-2019 in the case of this part) based on the years
of release for the sets it has appeared in.

We can't manually change that timeline (nor would we want to) because of
the way the system is structured.

  I've got one with the 2012 date.

The copyright date molded into a part isn't necessarily indicative of the
date it was actually released. This part may well have been manufactured in
2012, but not actually released to the public until 2014 (probably late 2013).

We have read it. We only have 7 open catalog requests, including yours:

https://www.bricklink.com/messageList.asp?overTP=Y&q=&qS=Y&qM=Y&msgID=&uName=&ID=24&status=0&v=c&max=50

Your request involves significant re-categorizations in multiple categories,
so it likely won't occur in the near future. Frustrating, I know, but we
have 20+ years of confusion to work through. We're already planning to move
nearly 1,000 parts next month:

Guess I'll be sitting on this part for awhile then....
