Illuminatus Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 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? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderKumo Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Wow, this is interesting! I had a Clone Wars set from years ago with something similar, I believe it was retconning a certain part of the build which the original instructions had gotten wrong Quote My Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClo2J14RKmVtcnoJTv7g6PA , Bionicle films coming soon!

Ta-metru_defender Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 It shows up every now and then. I think I have the same Clone Wars set as Kumo, and I think one of these showed up in an Exo-Force set too.

Distorted Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 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). 1 1 Quote bonkle choons for your ears bonkle sets in great condition w/ instructions and canisters for your collection (ebay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 This correction sheet isn't an apology AFAIK—most sheets like that are to correct instructions that show the incorrect piece. The 5M axle should be the correct part. Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuminatus Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 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?

That Matoran with a Vahi Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 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?

As a kid I though whoever took the picture for the canister put the set together wrong.When in reality the instructions were wrong.

Do you mean other instances like this were to correct mistakes in the actual instructions or?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.

Illuminatus Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Not... really. This piece shouldn't be featured in Nuparu Inika, this one should. The error is not in the instructions, it's in the inventory. The correct piece wasn't there. It's obviously not the same case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
