924 Parts, 9 Minifigures, 2005

* Change 4 Part {Dark Bluish Gray to Pearl Dark Gray} 32140 Technic, Liftarm 2 x 4 L-Shape Thick

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?

Thank you for your help. All of my sets have been bought from the store (I believe
Toys R Us in Canada, but sometimes Walmart). I'd have to look for my receipts.
I've never bought anything that wasn't sealed, and I've never bought
privately (other than replacement parts on Bricklink).

However, I have attached a picture from my instruction book. Can you see how
the liftarms seem to be in a slightly different colour than the two bricks
with pins directly beside them (to the right), which are in dark bluish
stone) gray? The majority of the rest of the picture shows black bricks.

My instruction book is set 8877, and the only other number I could find is
on the bottom left which is 4281693. Is this the number you are referring
to?

Thanks again for your help.
