FYI: Telling from the pictures, the Swedish boxes are the same (both box and
type of pieces) as those at LEGO WORLD. Also, the boxes were specially printed

So appearantly, this wasn't a singular opportunity, but it's a new marketing
concept of TLG and boxes may very well appear in severa countries and places

(BTW: the 'discounted' sets at the LEGOWORLD Intertoys store was mostly just 10%
off of regular Intertoys retail, which was ok, but nothing Americans should envy
since your regular retail is considerably lower :-)
