Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 740  Name: Basic Building Set
* 
740-1 (Inv) Basic Building Set
524 Parts, 1 Book, 1985
Sets: Universal Building Set: Basic

* Change {12 to 13} Part Yellow 3622 Brick 1 x 3 {match ID 0 to 1}

Comments from Submitter:
Question: I tried to build the house, as described in the original instructions (dating to 1985).

I suspect I need 13 "Yellow Bricks 1 x 3", as opposed to the bricklink set inventory, which states a quantity of 12(?)

Referring to the instructions, I need ...
- step 3: 3 bricks
- step 4: 1 brick
- step 5: 1 brick
- step 6: 2 bricks
- step 14: 4 bricks
- step 17: 2 bricks


Sum: 13 bricks

?

Especially I am a bit doubtful about step 6 - one cannot clearly see what is going on at the front right corner / right yellow wall.

I did confirm accuracy of this set. I opened a new set (seals opened, content
new in sealed bag) and they were only 12 yellow bricks 1x3

Thanks Reza! (Did you choose a wrong source when you confirmed this inventory?)


Since the parts list also shows only 12 yellow 1x3 bricks, the request will not
be approved. I guess the hidden brick in step 6 should be a 1x1 and a 1x2 brick.

Why does your confirmation say (source: Set Box/Picture)?

If you want to redo it, just let me know. I can remove your confirmation so that
you can submit it again with an updated source.

Cheers,
Randy

Because at that time, I had to choose Sealed content but my copy was a new in
an opened box so I asked Russel and he told me to choose Box\Picture. Later,
the other option Sealed bags\open box was added.

Yes, I can redo it if you remove it.
There are other sets of which I confirmed accuracy the same way.
