Does your copy of instructions differ at all from the ones published online at
Brickfactory or Lego Customer Service?

Hi,
My copy looks to be the same as the one at Brickfactory.
So this set seems to contain either:
- 4x Black x88 or
- 2x Black x88 and 2x Red X37

Hence the inventory change request.

Without having done a complete study, your proposition regarding rubber bands
seems correct. Apparently, for the ball to open up to become a fighting machine,
the head has to move toward the inside slightly. The larger (i.e. weaker) red
rubber bands help that, and also there is an assembly of pieces underneath where
the head is attached that is removed in the improved version., which would allow
the head to bend in even further. This is one of the few cases where I have seen
Lego *remove* parts during a redesign. Usually they are adding to the build to
strengthen such and such.
Anyhow, this involves more than just the rubber bands, and we're going to
have to use Alternates to reflect both versions of the set. I think most of the
parts in question are already in the Extras section, so it may just need a bit
of reorganization.
Here are scans of the 2 versions, which show the parts other than the rubber
bands. If anyone knows of other differences (besides the red rubber bands and
the assembly under the neck), please speak up.

OK, I have approved all your requests and made adjustments for the non rubber
band parts. Please check to see that your set lines up with the parts in the
Regular Items section.
Also, I noticed that the two smallest types of rubber bands shown in the instructions
are of different thicknesses, and the one currently termed "Extra Small" seems
the same size as (or even larger than) the ones currently termed "Small". Would
you please check the rubber bands that came in your set? The instruction pages
are 42 and 46/70.
