Hi,
We have this tub (4679) also in Belgium and sells for 39,99 Euro to 44,49 Euro /
tub (depending on retail shop).
Meanwhile there are some other Creator sets going on with extra pieces.
There's the 4411 (Blue STRATA box)with 1000 + 200 pieces (39,90 Euro at Makro
Belgium from 22 Sep. until 5 Okt.2004)
and the 4562 (Carton box) with 200 + 200 pieces (price 7,99 Euro at Kruidvat 22
Sep. until 5 Okt.2004). The building instructions booklet say's 4104 & 7830 for
set number.
Regards,
Ludo
