Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 258  Name: Zoo with Baseboard
* 
258-1 (Inv) Zoo with Baseboard
467 Parts, 1976
Sets: Building Set with People: Zoo

* Change {17 to 16} Part White 3001old Brick 2 x 4 without Cross Supports

Comments from Submitter:
I've just obtained this set in virtually new condition. There are only 16 of this piece. One is in the large elephant and 15 in the white stand where the gorilla is. See pages 2 and 5 of the instructions. Based on the positions of this piece in the gorilla stand as shown in the instructions, this part of the model physically can only be built with a maximum 15 of this piece.

Hi,

I bought this set, boxed and with all parts present and in shiney condition,
about 8 years ago. I also build the whole set back then and after that I checked
the BL inventory. My set really has 17 white bricks 3001old. I still remember
I had some problems building that stand with gorilla's, so I tried again.
The building instruction is very difficult at this point, it doesn't show
all steps and it doesn't show all bricks. You really need other pictures
on the box to get it done, and even then ...

I tried and I tried and I tried for over half an hour to build a solid stand
with only 15 2x4 bricks, but it doesn't work for me. Did you actually build
the stand / set?

Imo the set inventory is correct. Another note: There are several other building
idea's in the Instruction / on the box that you also have to be able to build
with the bricks inside (instead of the Zoo that is). Please also keep that in
mind when checking an Inventory.

Kind regards,
Diana

Hi Diana,

Thank you for your reply. Yes I built the set and like you I had a hard time
with the stand. I have the box and the other models do not use anything near
16 or 17 3001old white bricks. The pictures of the zoo on the box lid and the
underside of the lid don't help either.

The first two images below are from the instructions.

In the first picture, the brick(s) holding up number 11 are hidden. Also, a 3001old
is most likely under the brick marked 'A', binding it by 2 or
4 studs to brick 9.

In the second picture, a stud can be seen that is behind brick 2. I think this
is a 3001old sitting directly behind brick 2, which would offer 4 studs of support
to brick 11.

The third picture is the model taking my suggestions from the first two pictures.
There are 13 3001old bricks in this model, with only enough room for 2 more.

The fourth picture is the model with a total of 15 3001old bricks. The fifth
picture is a slight variation on picture 4. The last two pictures provide a good
degree of stability to the stand.

Please let me know what you think Diana and please advise how you built the stand
with 16 3001old bricks!

Kind regards,

Robert

Hi Robert,

images. Please just give me some time for that. Although the set is still in
my Living room I am very busy with my store at the moment. But again, I promiss
to get back on this. The large box on my dinner table will remind me, LOL

Kind regards,
Diana
