I think there are some sets missing in lugnet database, I mean the kabaya
ninja and knigths kingdom ones. Ah! and one of the samsonite figures pack is
not listed in the castle cathegory.

I think the correct place to post is in lugnet.database, but if you're
requesting that they're added to the database, you'll probably have to be a lot
more specific. I'm not sure what's "required" for adding a DB entry, but
minimally at least set number. You may also need to 'back up' the 'claim' of a
new set before it is added (actual picture or trusted source or something)

Samsonite figures pack?? With CASTLE figs? ?!?!? Samsonite was out of the
picture in 1972, and mini-figures weren't "invented" until 1974 (and even then
they were without posable arms or faces), and I think the first appearance of
castle stuff was in 1978-- So that seems highly unlikely that there even WAS a
SAMSONITE figures pack... do you perhaps mean:
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=0016
? Or perhaps you have more info on the set you DO mean? Could it be there's yet
another forgotten set way back in history?

Please let us know!

I believe I have a pair of these purchased in Toronto, Canada at the Eatons
center, shortly after the release of the original Lego Castle sets...I saved
the cards somehere in my old box collection.

Samsonite was out of the
picture in 1972, and mini-figures weren't "invented" until 1974 (and even then
they were without posable arms or faces), and I think the first appearance of
castle stuff was in 1978-- So that seems highly unlikely that there even WAS a

He may be correct = )

I believe my 2 minifig 3 packs had a "distributed by Samsonite Canada"
sticker at the bottom of the card...on the back.

My 3 packs were duplicates...each one contained 3 figures w/ a gray
sword...One soldier from the Knight's procession...2 soldiers from the
Knight's tournament.

The two Knight's tournament figures were quite a find..one had the chest
symbol of the King's axe-weilding guards...the other had the same crest as
the black Knight w/ red arms (a maroonish and yellowish checkered shield)

I will be travelling back to my fmiy home in a couple weeks...I will try to
find the cards and take a digital picture..

Although Samsonite no longer had a contract for US sales by that time,
they still had the Canada contract.  I believe Samsonite continued to
sell LEGO in Canada until the early 1980s.  (I'm sure someone will give
us the exact date soon.. :)

That would be very useful, anyway I think that the set is listed in the
database, only taht it is not included in the castle cathegory.

Please if you scan the pack or any image send it.
