| I have a question for you all…
I’m inventorying set 6394 – Metro Park & Service Tower. I purchased this set
new, built it once and had it on display for years. I eventually bagged it up
whole when I had to move. Now that I’m inventorying it I’m finding that:
• Two of the hoses were listed as White when they were Light Gray in mine
• The 2348b is Trans-Light Blue when the one in my set is Trans-Clear
• Parts 3068bp22 and 3068bp23 are listed a White while mine are Light Gray
• The flowers are randomly off by color. I have Blue but no Blue are listed
Should I worry about this when listing this as complete? Should I suggest changes
to the inventory of this set? Should I just stop worrying and go to bed? 😊
Thanks,
-Dwight

If you do not have a copy of the original instructions, you can find them here:
http://www.peeron.com/scans/6394-1/1
That should help clear up some of your issues.

List it as incomplete with the details you provided here. It's possible those
were the original parts, but more likely it was played with, parts were switched
from other sets. No the inventory won't be updated based on a model that
was on display for years, packed, moved, unpacked and then checked.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking as well. The thing that gets me is that
of all of the sets I've checked so far, everything has been spot on. Only
some minifigs were relocated. Probably some drinking friends playing around.
No sets were actually played with in any real way so I'm quite certain that's
how it was purchased. So how often does that happen?
Thanks!

I should clarify that when it was moved, it and all other sets were bagged as
built (large bags) so any pieces that may come loose would still be in the same
location. The fact that they were moved should not even factor into this discussion.

Hi
There are 2 versions from this set.
Check the inventory for the '99' alternate parts!
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=6394-1
Also a lot of info on the forum:

I have been thinking of picking this set up to adapt into my modulars.

If you wanted to list it now, you would have to list it as incomplete since what
you have doesn't match the BrickLink inventory. You could suggest changes
with your parts listed as alternates. The printed tiles are definitely interesting
as I don't know where else you would have gotten them - they are not "known"
to have come with any set.
[P=3068bp22]
[P=3068bp23]
Alternately you could acquire the parts needed to complete the set - doesn't
sound like anything rare or expensive.

Stickered version of the title is cataloged in light gray
[P=3068bpb0151]
And in 1988 was lego still licensing independent manufacturers? There certainly
wasnt as much consistency as there is now, and bricklink wasnt as thorough in
documenting variations that could appear in sealed sets.

Thanks, my point is the that the BrickLink listing needs correction. This set
is not incomplete.
These are not stickers. These were printed on Light Gray Tiles by LEGO.

I have to say, these look like stickers to me (well-applied and well-cared for).

This is so very odd. They DO look like really well applied stickers but they
came from LEGO exactly this way. The set came with only the sticker set that
was listed.

Your set does not come 100% with original parts. Not these parts, not flowers
and perhaps few other parts.

What do you expect them to do about a 30+ year old set? The customer service
people won't have a list of the inventory. They might even refer you here
to find what the set should contain.

Wondering how a 28-year service employee will react when asked about a set that
is beyond his or her age ....
