| Hello everyone.
I know that Bricklink is close to operate significant variations merge operations
on its inventory, so I don't know if the subject part is also part of this
operations (but I hope it will).
I have used very often Bricklink inventory as reference to complete my sets,
but lately I have noticed that part 3847 seems to have replaced part 3847a in
many old castle sets inventory, and not as an alternate part.
As a lego-castle loving child and then adult I have owned and built many of the
sets I see now listed with 3847 swords and in my experience they doesn't
appear in most of the ones I recall or still have built for exposition.
This post in not meant to be a rant about something I see as a discrepancy, but
more curiosity about how you're dealing with that. For instance I assembled
set 1596 and 1547: both show in the box photos a 3847a sword, but both have as
inventory only a 3847 sword. Should I list them as incomplete, or being a mold
variant I should not?
Thank you for your time and, maybe, answer
