Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 8729  Name: Toa Nuparu
* 
8729-1 (Inv) Toa Nuparu
55 Parts, 2006
Sets: BIONICLE: Toa Inika

* Add 3 Part 54821 Trans-Orange Ball, Bionicle Zamor Sphere (Alternate) (match ID 1)
* Add 1 Part 54821 Red Ball, Bionicle Zamor Sphere (Alternate) (match ID 1)
* Add 2 Part 54821 Trans-Orange Ball, Bionicle Zamor Sphere (Alternate) (match ID 1)
* Add 2 Part 54821 Red Ball, Bionicle Zamor Sphere (Alternate) (match ID 1)
* Change 4 Part Trans-Orange 54821 Ball, Bionicle Zamor Sphere {match ID 0 to 1}

Comments from Submitter:
It was clearly visible when these sets were abundant in stores that up to two of Nuparu's and Hewkii's four zamor spheres could be red. I'm surprised no other Bionicle fan has pointed it out all these years. As a side note, it's a bit tricky to write three possibilities in the inventory's format so I can only hope I did it right.

It looks I was wrong with apporving this request.

The Zamor spheres in this set were never red. They all were a combination of
Trans-Yellow mixed with Trans-Red. Some were almost completely Trans-Yellow,
and others were almost completely Trans-Red. Most looked some shade of Trans-Orange
due to the nature of the mixing process.

At this time all these are considered Trans Orange on Bricklink, for TLG also
considered this as one color.
