  This leaves us with the instructions and box. The box states that the set can
be motorized with set 8720, and the instructions confirm this. The instructions
show that the set can be motorized using one rubber band. However, set 8720 came
with rubber bands, also. So, did the rubber band in the instructions come from
this set or set 8720? Who knows. (shrugs)

The instructions show a small black rubber belt. Set 8720 has several rubber
belts in its inventory but none in black. So the black rubber belt would have
to be the one from 8836 unless the inventory of 8720 is wrong.

Comments from Submitter:
Just Inventoried a brand new set still in plastic. Found the above discrepancies

From the Additional Information About Extra Items section of the Inventory
Sections: Regular, Extra, Counterpart, and Alternate
help page:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562#extraItems

Removing or Changing Extra Items - Extra parts can vary depending on when
and where a set was manufactured, meaning that some new sets may include them
and others may not. The quantity of these extra parts can also vary. Extra parts
are typically not removed or reduced in quantity unless it can be determined
that they were originally added or increased in error.

These extra parts were found in some sealed copies of this set so they will not
be
removed.

* 
8836-1 (Inv) Sky Ranger
274 Parts, 1992

* Add 3 Part x88 Black Rubber Band Small (Square Cross Section) (Extra)

Comments from Submitter:
There was no way to get a sealed pic. They weren't in a bag. They were loose in the plastic sorting tray in the section that had the long technic bricks. They are not in the instructions for the primary build, but the instructions call for a K2 rubber band if you want to connect it to a motor. Go figure?

In my opinion one of these should be regular because it is used in the instructions
for addinng a motor to it. The other two can be added as extra. Unless Randy
has a different opinion about this.

Comments from Submitter:
the parts are missing in the regular inventory
you need them for example 1 time on page 17 in the construction step 6 in the construction manual

See the inventory note for this set:

"There are at least 2 different versions of instructions for this set. The differences
for the second version are indicated in this inventory in the Alternate Items
section with Match ID 99.

Quick overview of redesign: In the modules that attach to each side of the cockpit
4 light bluish gray 1 x 2 plates and 2 tan 1 x 2 Technic bricks with double holes
are added to fill in gaps in the structure."

* Delete 2 Part 4070 Light Bluish Gray Brick, Modified 1 x 1 with Headlight

Clearly a mistake was made in this inventory. Based on the change log these were
originally added as alternates for the dark bluish gray 4070 but at some point
both became regulars. That is obviously not correct so we either have to delete
these or change them back to alternates.

I had some more time to look at exactly what happened here. Back in those days
4070a was still a separate variant, so I thought it might have accidentally been
added as a variant in the wrong color. But a light bluish gray 4070a was added
to the inventory as alternate when there was a dark bluish gray 4070a in the
inventory. So it seems that the light bluish gray parts must have really been
in some sets.

But when 4070a was removed from inventory some mistakes were made and both colors
ended up becoming regular items in the inventory. The light bluish gray 4070
should be changed back to alternate. That means that I will reject this request
and submit a new one to chnage them to alternates.

  Randy,

Any news?

The other Inventory Admin, Paul, ordered this set new from somewhere. I was waiting
for him to receive his set to take care of this request. Prior to that, though,
when him and I talked about this set, we both had our doubts that the parts were
included in the new set since the box images do not show them anywhere.

Cheers,
Randy

I just received my set and can confirm that it has the light gray 4x4 plates.
I will accept the inventory change request now.

Hi Paul

Can you take a picture from the 4x4 plates, the bottom side?
Thanks!


Stefaan

What shall we do with extra items?

I'd say delete them because they are only for the two colors that have an
odd number in the regular inventory. So they are clearly the parts from the sprue
that are not used. I would expect extras in all colors if they were based on
a later set that did not have the sprues. And also some other parts that normally
have extras included like the lever.

According to our policy extra items are not necessarily included all the time,
so they can be added as extras if it is confirmed that they are included in sets
that don't have the sprues.

I also added the yellow sprues. Looks like you forgot to add those.
