* Add 2 Part 30134 Reddish Brown Stairs 7 x 4 x 6 Straight Open (Alternate) (match ID 5)
Comments from Submitter:
Hello, I noticed that mine has reddish brown stairs instead of dark orange (30134). I've bought this set upon release and never disassembled it so I'm pretty sure they are his own and are alternate colors (this set already has a few listed and mine also has the old "light grey" tiles as alternates already listed).

I can't find a single image of this set anywhere so far that shows reddish
brown stairs. I found multiple sealed sets that show dark orange, the box and
set images show dark orange, and the official LEGO data for the set has dark
orange listed. Are you sure about this?

A few years ago someone at 1000steine.de reported that he got this set with reddish
brown stairs from a seller who stated that all parts in that set were original.
At that time I found two used copies on Ebay which also had reddish brown stairs.
So it seems some copies came indeed with reddish brown stairs. Maybe LEGO did
not have enough dark orange stairs in stock and replaced them with reddish brown
ones. We know at that time (around 2005/2006) there were significant problems
with parts availability. Remember my set 10128 from early 2006 that came with
white parts instead of light gray ones.

Thank you, Jonas.
Hello, Sorry I didn't see your replies!!!
Thank you for approving my edit: Yes I am 100% sure they are his own.
The reasons are:
1) I never disassembled my copy since I was a kid.
2) I don't own any other set that has these reddish brown stairs. Those are
the only ones that I own (I have a rather small collection compared to some Afols)
Unfortunately I don't have the original box anymore, but my instruction booklet
shows Dark Orange both on the cover and on the interior pages. I was around 10
at that time and didn't pay attention to that.
I started using bricklink very recently and I greatly appreciate that you approved
my edit! I enjoy contributing and might do it again if I found other interesting
facts.
By the way: one mistake that I did notice as a kid is that in exo-force 7709
Lego gave me a wrong character head. I was missing the head of "Keiken" and instead
had 2 copies of the head of exf001. Do you think this could be considered as
an alternate part or that is just a factory mistake?

No problem! This forum is awful when it comes to knowing if you have a reply
to one of your messages or not.

Please do! Every little bit we learn about each set helps the whole LEGO community
