Hello,
I was the person to verify the 7720 set (and this is my first post on Lugnet).
Please, excuse me to not check the whole inventory properly. I have only
corrected the most obvious mistakes like the number of wheels. I have overlooked
the minifig parts by mistake because the header says there are 3 of them...
shame on me.
Unfortunately, even your update is not perfect. You wrote there are none single
buffers - I see 4 of them on the blue battery box car.
In my opinion, there are two major problems with Peeron inventories:
- There is something that "devours" some e-mails heading for Peeron address.
Maybe it stops only messages with attachments, maybe it's random.
- Nobody is perfect. The LEGO Company is not perfect as well. There are many set
variations so I cannot say "my MISB inventory is the only correct". For example,
the part numbers with suffixes (a,b...) are somewhat interchangeable. This can
influence the rest of the inventory! Take a look at set 4563-1: my set (bought
as MISB in the 1990's) has part 2924b instead of 2924, white plates 4x10 + 1x4
instead of 4x12 etc. But it doesn't mean that the Peeron inventory is wrong.
John, I will keep my fingers crossed for your enormous work to make it to
Peeron. I believe that the problem is only in the e-mail "black hole".
Also, many thanks that you opened this question on Lugnet - I think that
cooperative work and inventory discussions can make the inventories better than
the individual updates do.
Greetings
Martin
P.S. Sorry for my bad English. I live in Prague, my native language is Czech.
I've been reading Lugnet News for quite a long time before I became courageous
enough to post something.
