They nest so easily when they land bottom-to-bottom, the irregular shape makes it easy to rotate them in ways that create pockets that absorb extra parts, and they just feel like they're a little bit too small to be intended for adult fingers. My fingers, at least.<br /><br />I thought they were a great idea at first, but my practical experience has been that I barely use them. The clutch is a bit weak compared to other 1x1 parts, due to the stud notch, so the only thing I can say for sure I've done with them is to make half-circles for the inside of cat ears.Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-70708616089831653222020-03-29T20:55:42.153+01:002020-03-29T20:55:42.153+01:00I will do, it was irritating me a little as I kept...I will do, it was irritating me a little as I kept double checking my count!Elspeth De Monteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322298254361189092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-12488436286351616582020-03-23T02:43:20.879+00:002020-03-23T02:43:20.879+00:00@tobymac:
The "definitive" system is tha...@tobymac:<br />The "definitive" system is that you number them consecutively as they're added to the catalog. The first issue is that it's entirely up to personal whim and random chance as to how that order is determined on each site. The other, which we may be seeing evidence of here, is that sometimes numbers get skipped, or an entry gets deleted from the catalog, so numbering systems just get out of synch with each other. It's just that, considering how many other "impossible" things are actually highly likely (like the chances of two people in a random group sharing the same birthday), I thought there might be at least one of these that shared the same number.<br /><br />@Elspeth:<br />Shoot. It sounds like Richard either miscounted on the second bag, or got a fluke, since the Bricklink inventory agrees with all of your bags and Richard's first. Now it's going to bug me that they somehow chose to short one of the quarter-round tiles. If you ever get a chance to ask someone in the know, let us know?Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-20559110401620427062020-03-22T23:04:32.948+00:002020-03-22T23:04:32.948+00:00I am not a huge fan of the emojis for some reason ...I am not a huge fan of the emojis for some reason but I do like the glittery blue tiles.

One of the odd things I remember noting about Richard's review was that he opened two bags and got different quantities of two tiles. In both cases, his second bag had one extra. Even weirder is why they chose to short one of the four quarter-round tiles over the other three colors of the same part. Seems like it would have made more sense to short the round glitter tile instead.Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-91780453906379915012020-03-22T14:48:04.773+00:002020-03-22T14:48:04.773+00:00The solution is simple: I get 2 copies of each pri...The solution is simple: I get 2 copies of each print, and make 2 collections. 1 on number, 1 on set.tobymachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746453405498562767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-48386060884206971902020-03-22T12:32:31.122+00:002020-03-22T12:32:31.122+00:00Aaaargh!
