Never seen that happen before.

Someone had it reserved to inventory and now they don't.

Comments from Submitter:
This might be serving as a placeholder. I got my minifig from sealed 2849. He is also in 1068-1, which is the same set released 2 years later and then he is in 3 board games from 2001-2. Used copies I can see of the 2001 game still show italics. Do we actually need to split him or can we hand wave this?

Placeholder for now. We don't need to rush anything here.

Oh gosh!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
zipline handle... please Catalog people, add "pulley" or something simple
to find in the description!

Is this 1001bricks? They don’t forget about simple items like that
|
Right?? Youd think with over 50k of FB's theyed know all parts.
|
That's the point, it's just I couldn't locate its reference using
pulley, holder and few other words... I looked at Utensils, but of course, being
the last one ("z"ipline) I missed it. I tried Google pic, but the small
picture couldn't find it. I tried searching on Google like "LEGO pulley",
no way. And of course I didn't have this part on hand, just a demand for
this picture of a build to create on Studio Anyway...
Sure it'd help to add to its name something more generic than zipline would
help to locate it.
|
I changed the name so that it states exactly what it is. Since it has nothing
to do with pulleys, I don't feel that the word "pulley" should be
added.

| I have a question to the community. In the catalog the head for the Arc Trooper
sw0315 is listed with Blocked Open Stud. In my polybag (still sealed) the head
is a Hollow Stud.
Is the listing wrong? or did Lego issue this minifigure with both head types,
as often seen with minifigures in regular sets?
|
This set came out right during the time of the transition from blocked open stud
to hollow stud, so it is very likely that the set came with both at one point.
However, this information will all be moot when the catalog entries for the heads
get merged soon.

| In Catalog Requests, StanleyKubrique writes:
| Now 14395 is noted as alternative number for 2339. But there's a difference
between the items. Walls forming the arch of 14395 are thinner, there also a
reinforcement in the transversal walls inside the arch. As consequence, it's
impossible to fix a stud inside the arch because the gap is to large.
So 14395 is a mold variant that need is own entry I think.
I don't know how to do that because it's now impossible to create a new
one under 14395. How am I suppose to proceed?
|
We would only split this catalog entry if the connection point you are talking
about is used as a legal building method in at least one official LEGO set. Unfortunately,
the catalog team does not have the time to look through all of the sets that
use this part. Therefore, if you can find an official set that uses this building
technique with part 2339, please let us know, otherwise the catalog entry will
remain as it is.

is changing. So, I went to see if this part had changed. Lo and behold, it had

Therefore, the evidence for what sets had which version of the engine and which
version of the propeller are going to need much more evidence. All we know for
sure is that the engine clearly needs to be split into two versions and that
it is likely that a specific engine/propeller pair probably appeared in the same
set together.

Do I understand correctly that the hair, round plate, and light saber were missing
from the minifig? If that's the case then I could see why it was removed
- 3-4 pieces out of a total of 7-8 were missing.

The main part is only one piece, so three of the four pieces of the figure were
missing. Once we have a chance to get the inventories for these figures into
the catalog, there will be no confusion over them.
|
Wel, the figures are only 19 years old.
|
Prior administrators would not let them be inventoried. The current team decided
to allow them to be inventoried later last year. All we are waiting for are good
images of the figures without all of the pieces that can come off easily. If
you would like to help with that, please do so.

I got 1 or 2 of them (I think obi wan (and maybe Anakin?)). If you need anything

Is there a good reason why the 1x3x3 doors are in the "Door, Decorated"

Renders of items do not hold any proof, so packaging, instructions, and official
images do not always accurately show what comes in a set. And what came in the
original CMF was definitely
I am pretty sure that
was a BaM part that was released years and years after the CMF.

The pointed bottom shield only came out on a torso assembly in 2002, so it would
have long internal ribs. If your part has short internal ribs, then it is the
rounded bottom shield version.

Aren't there many books on the catalog that only have 1 set as inventory?

The original production runs of this book did not contain the "set",
so the book is inventoried like all other books that did not contain a "set".

Then should not the “set” be removed from the catalog? After all it is technically
just a bag being used as a containment device for the parts.
|
The set entry should have a set number on the polybag somewhere, whereas the
original books just had the parts in a plain clear bag like other books.
|
As you can see from the picture, the bag is just the standard packaging bag with
NO set markings.

Sorry, it's the only image we have right now.

Sooo, are you saying we got a picture of some other random bag?

No, I'm saying if you have an image of the set better showing the item number

In that case I suppose it would be best to add the inventory of parts to the

the system is capable of that.
