| Hi, I am new to Bricklink and am still learning how it works. I have many old
sets from my son, all from the late 90's and am trying to put them all together.
I have the instruction books for about 98% but am finding the books differ from
the set inventories on this site. For instance the Flame Chaser Helicopter #6531.
I have been using this reference to find all the pieces needed but now am concerned
that the instructions I have differ from the inventory I have been collecting.
Not really sure what my question is, , but am concerned the pieces don't
add up to the instruction books I have. I came online as some of the pieces were
difficult to see very well and was unsure of the colors needed. Why would these
differ from the instructions?
Hope this makes sense

Thanks, did see that at the bottom but was still a little confused as the instructions
I have state 3 of the small red bricks and 2 single ones to make up the difference
in height, but the 2 smaller ones were not on the inventory list. Oh well, I
will check with this website, which, btw, is awesome, for shapes and colors and
use the instruction manual for parts needed per the version I own.

That is one particularly difficult set to inventory. See note in Rebrickable,
which accounts for more variations (one of which I have!):
