Difference

Neiljones

Can someone please tell me the difference between these two. As I can’t see one. As always your help is appreciated

Malnaborg

From your picture i would say the color of the shirt, is different ?
maybe "light grey and dark grey" ?

Neiljones

@Malnaborg the photo is from the BO catalog both are listed as light gray

Malnaborg

Oh okay. Just from the photo you posted, it looked like that 🙂

Neiljones

@Malnaborg thats what I thought until I opened them both to find them both the same colour. Just can’t see a difference in the print

Malnaborg

Nah. The only thing i can see is that they are from 2 sets.
While looking at more pictures i would say they are the same. Just different name. Maybe when they were "created" on Brickowl 2 different people made them, and just did not search before making it. It was back in 2000, the sets at least.

So yeah, i will give you that :-D

I'm guessing it is a duplicate listing. There are three torsos in this theme. The records *probably* could be merged.

@Malnaborg @mfav thanks both of you for the information much appreciated

Both Rebrickable and BL list these torsos separately. However, using the Inventory Comparison Tool for sets 6477 and 6478, shows that Lego used the same torso/head combinations (mini upper part 407) for both sets. Therefore the torsos are identical.

These torsos (mini upper part 406): https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-light-gray-town-fire-lift-truck-fireman-torso-973 and https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-light-gray-firefighter-dispatcher-with-light-gray-coat-with-pocket-and-red-belt-black-legs-mustache-and-white-cap-torso-973 are also the same.

As well as these torsos (mini upper part 411): https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-light-gray-firefighter-torso-with-gauge-973 and https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-light-gray-torso-with-harness-and-regulator-973-73403.

Could it be that the hands are different colours?

sotwuser

If the hands were a different color, then Lego would have assigned a different PCC/Item No. to them as both 6477 and 6478 were in production at the same time.
