Should a note be added to both the set and instructions that there are two versions of these instructions but the inventory stays as is ?

Look at step 1. The turntable outer can be either yellow or grey. Full credit to Erik Lucas for this discovery. But were light gray turntables ever found in that set? A color error in the instructions doesn't mean that the set's inventory gets an alternate added. However, finding a set that actually came with a light gray turntable instead of a yellow one does. David There is a v1 & v2. On rebrickable. Just not for the instruction manual So i think the discussion for two versions is already done? Dont know how this is done here on bricklink On BrickLink, inventories are based on what actually came in sets. So, if only one color of turntable ever came in the actual sets, the inventory will only show one color of turntable, no matter what the instruction manuals show. In other words, instruction manuals do not guide the inventories, the parts in the sets do. If we were to ever add an alternate part, we would need much more reliable proof than two different instruction manuals from different printers. The fact that the instruction manuals were printed at two different printers could mean that one of them just simply messed up. Cheers, Randy

[...] So there is no second version but one incorrectly printed version. There are other instructions with mistakes. I am not sure if Bricklink wants to add a note that on [...] (9 months ago, Sep 19, 2023, to Inventories)
