| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Add 1 Part 15210pb059 Black Road Sign 2 x 2 Square with Open O Clip with Light Blue Curved Center Stripe and Small Squares Pattern (Computer Screen) (Alternate)
Comments from Submitter:
I am unsure if this is an alternate part or if the original inventory had the wrong part identified. I have just opened 3 sets of 60258 and they all had the new road sign 15210pb059 in them.
Thanks

Through a stroke of remarkably good fortune, I was able just now to make contact
with the person who originally submitted that inventory. I have been assured
beyond any doubt whatsoever that the current inventory includes the correct version
of the part, which is clearly different than what came in your copies of the
set.
Therefore, your addition should be an alternate part as requested.

I just saw who the original submittor was and it is amazing that you were able
to contact them so fast. Thank them for me.
Is this normal? Are they perhaps running out the old part and using them up
in sets whilst bringing in the new one?

It is not unusual to see new prints introduced as alternates in sets when the
older version is no longer in production. It looks like they were using up the
last of the old print in some sets this year. And are now switching to the new
print in those sets. So I would not be surprised to see the new print added as
an alternate in more sets.
The new print was already in the inventory for another set, 60257-1, from the
beginning. But that could have been a last-minute decision. If you look at the
instructions for that set you'll see that it shows the new print in the parts
list and in the parts needed on step 21 where this parts is added in the build.
But in the actual construction it still shows the old print. See screenshot of
instructions for 60257:
