Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 5526  Name: Skyline
* 
5526-1 (Inv) Skyline
2792 Parts, 2005
Sets: Factory

* Add 2 Part 30162 Dark Gray Minifigure, Utensil Binoculars Town (Alternate) (match ID 1)
* Add 13 Part 4274 Light Gray Technic, Pin 1/2 (Alternate) (match ID 2)

Comments from Submitter:
After going through this set, I had these pieces unaccounted for (in the supposedly correct color), but had them in the older color schemes rather than the new grays they went with later on. I just wanted to add these pieces as alternates since they don't have any currently.

Please can you confirm the source of your set? Is it one you built from new?
If not how can you be certain these came with it originally?

Thanks,
Paul.

It's not from a completely "new" set, but one that I put back together from
the original set I bought when it came out after being mixed with some other
generic LEGO stuff. I'm fairly certain these came with this one as I put
together all of the sets again based on their inventories on this site and I
had those pieces but not in the correct color listed in the inventory for this
set. There's no other possible place they could've come from other than
this particular set, especially considering I have the exact numbers of both
parts but just not in the new bluish gray colors.

Thanks for the info. Unless we can be 100% sure these alternates are correct
from a sealed set then I'm reluctant to approve them.

The binoculars for example stop showing up in sets in (old) dark gray in 2003:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=30162&colorID=10&in=A

The set in question above is 2 years later. It may be the case they found old
stock and used them up but without firm proof we are just making assumptions.

Many thanks for taking the time to submit the requests and if there's anything
else you spot in the future let us know.

Paul.

p.s. reply above applies to your other request as well

Fair enough.
