Hello All,

I own the set 8640 and item 2714a (light grey) shows nowhere in the instruction
or on the box. For this reqason I think it should be removed from the Bricklink
inventory. Is this the right place to post this?

Perhaps someone was mistaken for item 2714a (Yellow), this is the correct part
and this is correctly in the Bricklink inventory as well.


Thanks for your comments and/or reply.

Kind Regards,
Marco

You should start here to submit a formal inventory change: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp?itemType=S

It's accessible through Market - Add or Change - Change Inventory - Set

They are used in Step 14 to build the frame of the cockpit.

It's rather obvious. How did you construct the set if you didn't use
the two light grey ski-poles?

Cheers,

Probably without them. haha.

I think the cockpit would still work, but wouldn't be as sturdy.

Isn't there a condition that a set inventory can only be updated from a brand
new set that has just been opened?

Darn, you guys are right. Feel a bit stupid now. Found the grey sticks as well.
Thanks for letting me know!
