Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 8743  Name: Visorak Boggarak
* 
8743-1 (Inv) Visorak Boggarak
47 Parts, 2005
Sets: BIONICLE: Visorak

* Add 1 Part x71 White Rubber Belt Small (Round Cross Section) - Approx. 2 x 2 (Alternate)

Comments from Submitter:
From personal experience, all Visorak sets I've owned came with white round rubber bands instead of the yellow ones currently in the sets BL-inventory. This does not only apply to this particular set, but to all Visorak sets. I contacted LEGO about this issue, but they had no information to provide regarding the matter. I'm sure other set owners could provide input on this issue.

Could you tell us a bit more about the sets you've owned?
For example, did you get them in new or used condition?

Hi!

I currently own the entire Visorak lineup(8742 through 8747). 8744 and 8747 have
been in my ownership since 2006-ish(built them myself), and the rest were acquired
second-hand from a relative some years ago. All of these, as far as I can remember,
came with white x71 rubber bands. It may be worth mentioning that all of these
likely are/were late-production sets, since they were bought around 2006.

As a tangent, I find it odd that just the Visorak sets have the x151 rubber bands,
since every other Bionicle set I come to think of, released either prior to or
after the Visoraks, use x71 rubber bands in their stead.

Thanks. I have accepted this request and I would say you can submit the same
addition for the other Visorak. We already have two sets from 2005/2006 which
came with
 
Part No: x71  Name: Rubber Belt Small (Round Cross Section) - Approx. 2 x 2
* 
x71 Rubber Belt Small (Round Cross Section) - Approx. 2 x 2
Parts: Rubber Band & Belt {White}
instead of
 
Part No: x151  Name: Rubber Band Extra Small (Square Cross Section)
* 
x151 Rubber Band Extra Small (Square Cross Section)
Parts: Rubber Band & Belt {Yellow}
or vice versa.


  As a tangent, I find it odd that just the Visorak sets have the x151 rubber bands,

Yep. But the x151 were obviously phased out in 2005/2006, maybe they just had
some of them left in stock and used them randomly in sets instead of the x71
to get rid of them.
