Comments from Submitter:
Hello, my set 8877 clearly has 4 dark pearl-like Technic lift-arms which I think are Dark Pearl Gray, definitely not Dark Bluish-Gray. Also, on page 27 of my instruction book, the pictures shows that they are not Dark Bluish-Gray. I don't know how to figure out if this is an alternate version of the same set or a mistake in the existing inventory (a newbie).

My set has dark bluish gray, TLG's part replacement also indicates dark bluish
(dark stone) gray...
Pictures in buildinginstructions are not always represenative...
What is the number on the instruction?
Did you buy the set sealed or second hand?

I really never questioned whether your set had one of each or not. I totally
believe you. I am just saying that the model *cannot* be built with one of the
current listed parts in the inventory. LEGO made a mistake packing your set,
and it was unfortunate. However, the official inventory here should show the
correct part and not the incorrect one. We do not want buyers in the future thinking
they can use either part for the build when one of them will obviously not work
and was not intended by LEGO to ever be in the set. I hope that makes a little
more sense in my submitting this as a change request.

The question of TLG intention is an important one, and it is one of the factors
often overlooked when BL inventories are being compiled, approved, and adjusted.
This is why good inventory work should involve checking multiple sources, such
as box inventory, instructions inventory, actual pieces on hand, and of course
the build itself. Where sources do not agree, a practical solution must be found.
In this case, it is impractical to include a variant that will not work.
Also I agree that the way inventories are perceived by the average user should
be factored into the process. There are some "wild" extras I have found in sealed
sets over the years that I would not include even as extras because they would
only cause confusion. They were never part of the original set inventory as conceived
by TLG, and were included either just to use up random parts or in error.
The most space I would give to this "variant" is an inventory note to the effect
of: some sets have been found with x variant, but this variant cannot be used
to build the set.

I agree, for the most part. But I would definitely want any unusual extra parts
left in, for the sake of accuracy and parting-out.

Yeah, I see that now, thanks
Which brings up the question (at least for me): Should the BL inventory show
what a set actually includes, or what it should include in order to
build the set properly? (In the hypothetical that all copies were like mine --
I'm assuming this isn't the case).

Fact is it can be built with regardless of the pb suffix.
However in my opinion 4150 probably never came with a printed eye pattern but
I will check further.

Bitcoins is a currency. (At least according to recent testimony before the US
Congressional Banking Committees!) There is nothing in the laws of our land preventing
someone from starting an alternative currency. Provided, of course, that its
primary use is as a currency and not as the basis for fraud.
Brickpal would be a bank-like entity. Chances of Brickpal being approved are
virtually nil.
I like the idea of people submitting catalog items, acting as admins, and helping
newbie's as a way to earn brickcoins. Someone would need to allow others
to purchase goods or services with them. I seem to recall a similar set of features
on some other site.
