BTW, original version of set almost certainly released prior to 1996. I changed
YOR from 2000 to 1996 because I found the set in a catalog from '96, but
I'm thinking the original version was released in the early 90s when the
finger puppets were still in sets. Based on my incomplete catalog collection,
I would say '91 or '92 is the correct YOR.

Just found this picture of original set which Admin used for inventory (reported
to be from 1991). Notice that red/blue 4744 bricks do not appear to be present
- not sure how you want to handle their later inclusion.

I suggest that you cancel the change request.
And instead that Inventory Admin do this:
1) Swap the current picture for 9256-1 with the old one that you found.
2) Change the release year to 1991 for that set.
3) Create a 9256-2 and add those changes you requested in to that one, with the
current picture. And set the year to 1996 for it.
Have a nice day.

Certainly not a bad suggestion, but the Dacta/Education sets were changed with
such regularity that creating new sets in the BrickLink catalog for every variation
doesn't strike me as the most efficient approach. In the case of this set,
the only part changes appear to involve 4 pieces (two of which are easily handled
by listing them as alternates).
I have added new sets in the past in extreme cases such as this one which would
have included 100+ alternates:
I don't believe that the minor differences for 9256 justify an additional
listing, but I'm not sure how the two new parts would be added (they're
not alternates, counterparts, etc.). So I'm waiting to hear from the inventory
administrator.
