Speaking of pattern numbers, I have created the gold-faced android head and
developed a fix to the silver one (3626Bp63.dat), so that both parts are
compatible. My problem is that numbers on both sides of the head are claimed • by
other groups. For example, the *p64.dat series is claimed by Unitron, and the
*p62.dat series is claimed by part of Ice Planet 2002. I could do as I have
proposed for minifig shortcuts (i.e. 979p63a.dat & 979p63b.dat), but would • run
short of characters ("3626Bp63b.dat" is more than 8 characters). So my • question
is, what number do I try to give this new head, even though it has very • little
difference from the first?

I'd go with p64, as we know that there are no Unitron patterned heads.

There actually is one... the smiley with Silver CyberVisor pattern. It is later
used in RoboForce.


    Putting that issue aside for awhile, it also reminds me of a new • question.
Because of the changing nature of minifig faces... at least those made after
circa 1992, One can only be left to wonder what happens after the 100th
(non-Star Wars) head is submitted? I guess whenever that happens, we can make
little LEGO figures in blue and white and make the whole set look like • Smurfs.
ha ha ha (or is that "Smurves"?) Oh well... it's all in good-humored,
"brick-laying" fun!

P.S.: If you can really see a Dr. Cyber head as Brainy and Timmy as Clumsy,
then it ain't funny anymore.

I think we already discussed this at some length here w.r.t. torsos, and • agreed
it was acceptable to use alpha-numeric p-suffixes (eg. 3626Bp6a) with the
definition that the two characters after the "p" are pattern identifiers, not
variant suffices. When officialised, I think the 100.. series Star Wars
patterned parts will be renumbered.

(...) the (...) later (...) Sorry, my mistake - you're right. But seeing as this is not unique to UniTron, I'd still go with p64. Chris (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
