Evening all,

I'm looking at the 10090 Turkey, and the inventory shows all Old Brown parts,
which is understandable since it is from 2003. Mine is all Reddish Brown parts.
I haven't modified it, it has been assembled since I opened it, so I know
it came that way "from the factory".

I know 2003-2004 is when the grays and browns changed to their current shades.
How should we indicate that later copies of this set may be entirely Reddish
Brown instead of Brown?

Play well,
Joel

Hello Joel

You could add the parts as alternatives similar to the DBG parts that are currently
listed as alternative.
you could also request a note be placed on the entry explaining the change in
colours.

regards
david

See https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1111011

I have added an inventory note that later copies had reddish brown parts.
From what I can see, there are two parts in reddish brown which are not included
in any other inventory:
 
Part No: 30236  Name: Brick, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle on Side
* 
30236 Brick, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle on Side
Parts: Brick, Modified {Reddish Brown}
 
Part No: 3038  Name: Slope 45 2 x 3
* 
3038 Slope 45 2 x 3
Parts: Slope {Reddish Brown}

Since you said all brown parts in your set are reddish brown, you are welcome
to submit requests to add these two parts as alternates so they appear in at
least one inventory.
