Wrong Axle in Nuparu Inika Set


Illuminatus

Recommended Posts

In 2006, my Toa Nuparu set came with the wrong axle—a regular 5 axle instead of a 5.5 axle with a stop—and a clarification/apology poster:

The thing is, I can't seem to actually find my copy of it; all I have is this scan I made shorty after buying the set. BrickLink doesn't seem to have an entry for any such item. Has anyone else ever come across this?

I didn't have this with my Nuparu set, but I did have a similar correction insert in my Manas set. I can't remember exactly, but it was either a beam listed in the instructions as a different colour to the actual set, or the instructions showing the track wheels in the wrong hole (which would have stretched the tracks too tight).

Yes, insert/sheet is more like it; it was fairly small in size.

 

Although, Lyichir, the instructions in this case showed the correct piece, which simply wasn't featured. Do you mean other instances like this were to correct mistakes in the actual instructions or?

Not a Bionicle set, but I do seem to remember having something like that with Jabba's Sail Barge in 2007. It came with three normal 8x8 tan plates, as opposed to the version with the grille that the instructions showed. I never kept the correction sheet, though.

 

Actually, didn't the Hagah have something similar as well? Because their instructions showed their shields being attached wrongly? Or am I misremembering that?

No you are right. As a kid I though whoever took the picture for the canister put the set together wrong.

When in reality the instructions were wrong.

Yeah, these sheets are meant to correct errors in the instructions. I remember a similar correction sheet from an Exo-Force set where the wrong kind of clip piece was featured in the instructions. In both cases, the error is with the instructions, not with the actual set inventory.
