It is listed as: x77a String, Cord Thin (Undetermined Length) I see x77a listed with various lengths in the description. After someone tells me length for set 6462 is it allowed to cut a longer string to that length. OR does that mean I have ruined the string as a true Lego part? How is it done to keep the set authentic? How to know proper string length? Thanks, Mark There's confusion as to how many parts are in this actual set, which I believe to be brickset's inventory not being complete:m Brickset.com states on it's entry for this set: "According to the set database, this set has 194 parts." but the official LEGO instructions contain 158 parts. The inventory from LEGO.com contains 158 parts. This suggests that the inventory is 81.4% complete." The entry on peeron.com states that the string is braided, 21L, and contains end studs. http://peeron.com/inv/sets/6462-1 If anyone has a sealed 6462 please verify what is in it. The only sets for sale on BrickLink are all used, some incomplete. Apart from the string length, the BrickLink inventory looks pretty accurate. Cheers ... ghyde There are also some sets where the string is sold inclusive to a reel and hook. So it could be listed like that. Nita Rae
