| So, this is sort of a wider-spread issue that would be adressed across several
sets, so I wanted to make one bigger post to adress this as I'm not sure
whether this should be handled through a note or through inventory changes, and
I want to ensure consistency.
I've noticed that several sets with SQUARE rubber bands, the set typically
includes twice the amount of rubber bands necessary to build the set, and these
are typically also included in the piece count listed on the box. However, on
Bricklink, these parts are handled inconsistently.
I've only looked at BIONICLE sets, for the time being.
The following contain 2 rubber bands in their piece count shown on the box, but
only uses one:
8545 Whenua already handles this through a note.
These are duplicates of the above sets but don't show a piece count:
Nui-Rama contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
2 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 138 - It erroneously excludes all 8 rubber
bands.
Strangely, on Bricks & Pieces, the pcs count is 294. In a LEGO Shop At Home catalogue
I've found, it is 246.
Muaka & Kane-ra contains 12 XS and 16 S rubber bands, but only 6 XS, respectively
8 S, are used in the main model, and 1 XS and 4 S in the alternate model. Box
pcs is 647.
Manas contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and 6 in
the alternate model. Box pcs is 442.
The same LEGO Shop At Home catalogue mentioned for the Nui-Rama, however, shows
the count of 428 - not sure what's up there.
Nui-Jaga contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
4 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 218. Like Whenua, this one is already
noted.
Tarakava contains 8 rubber bands, but only 4 are used in the main model, and
2 in the alternate model. Box pcs is 401.
As a tangential addendum of notes to add:
Exo-Toa box pcs is 360, erroneously excluding the rubber bands.
Lewa Nuva box pcs is 36 - as already noted, all of the 38 pieces in the set are
used in the instructions one way or another, and Bricks & Pieces says 38 as well.

Inventories should be adjusted as close to original new set contents as possible.
If the official piece count helps to confirm the changes, even better. As mentioned,
some of these were fixed in the past due to random inventory changes here and
there, but there are many sets in the catalog that do not follow the modern definitions
used to inventory sets. Any inventories that you can help to fix would be welcomed.
Cheers,
Randy

Don't forget Roboriders! I successfully changed one of them a few years back
that also had a large rubber band.
