Title: Error in 5140 (smaller ship in pirate theme)
Post by: sbblabotw on October 12, 2011, 23:55:26

Hi folks,

Just wanted to alert you all to an error in the printed plans of 5140 - Rotrock-Kanonensegler (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5140&pics=on). It shows the part composed of four light brown sail spars as 30 51 7740, but that part number is already in use: it's the rollbars (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-51-7740) in 4863 - Beach Buggy (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4863). I'm confident that the previous use is correct since other 30 51 77* parts are from the same year - that's almost universal, that numbers within a group defined by the third and fourth digits (in this case, the "51" group) are used in chronological order. "51" parts from 2011 are up in the 9000 range.

In short: this part, shown on the plans of 5140, has the wrong number. The plans with the error are 30 82 8312 - Instructions for 5140 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-82-8312).

I've left it out of the inventory for now. If anyone sees reprinted plans for this set with a different number for this part, please let me know!

Oh, thanks for letting us know!  When I get these, I'll take a look.

Thanks for the heads up.
