TheBrickHitHouse Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 So I bought the new Halifire droid set, I noticed that one of the tan battle droids has a serial number across the waist - I have 130 Battledroids and none of them has a serial number printed on them, is that a production glitch? Anyone else ended up with one? Sorry no pics - cant zoom in enough.... Quote

If you have 130 droids already, I'd totally hang on to it and keep it as a unique curiosity Quote
TheBrickHitHouse Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 Here is a picture I found on brickshelf, you can see the number on the leg piece, evidently its fairly common with the Halifire droid set Quote
Justin2224 Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Alot of my droids have that. At least 50 out of the hundred. Quote
Derek Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Yes, I just checked the droids in my Hailfire set and they all have the number. Quote
Trudop561 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 My hailfire droid droids have this detail too. Quote
TheBrickHitHouse Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 Its odd...because they have DIFFERENT numbers, that means they used many different molds (at presumably great expense) I wonder why....? Quote
Siegfried Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Its odd...because they have DIFFERENT numbers, that means they used many different molds (at presumably great expense) I wonder why....? I think each mold space has its own number for quality control reasons. That way if is a run of defects is found they can go to the exact mold space and investigate. Looking at other pieces that are indentical and from the same set I can find similar things. For example in my hand I have 2 2x4 bricks. One is 3001 13 230 and the other is 3001 5 224. The first piece has the molding injection mark... 00 00 0X 00 ...and the other is... 00 00 X0 00 Quote
Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?! Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 ^ ...XO.... that... is funny seriously I have only old droids with none of that "Serial codes" nonsense when I was a kid... we had numbers! Quote
Skipper 24 Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 All my droids from the Hailfire set have that. I checked a few other droids, all they say is LEGO. Quote
