I was looking at a few old Lego catalogs, and I came across some errors that
were made 25-30 years ago. Here's 2 examples....
Error #1) the 1977 German catalog....
http://horst-lehner.mausnet.de/lego/katalog/gk77/index.htm
It is a nice 16 page catalog... but there is something missing.... 19 sets that
were produced in 1977, but did not make it to the catalog....
Basic Sets: #10, #20, #30, #40, #50.
Homemaker/Sets with People Sets: #210, #213, #215, #254, #256, #258, #263, #277,
#296.
Pre-School (Duplo) Sets: #522, #523, #524, #531, #536.
Later in 1977 a small mini-catalog with all these sets in it was produced. That
these sets were not in the big catalog shows that somebody goofed! Maybe the
missing Homemaker sets and Pre-School sets was a minor overlook.... but you
don't forget to put in the 5 major basic sets!!!
Error #2) the 1983 Canadian Samsonite Catalog...
That catalog shows some small blister packs of minifig sets. Among them are
#6001 (4 Castle Knight's minifigs) and #6002 (4 Town Minifigs).
Well as it turned out, both the Castle Knight's and Town Minifigs came out with
the same blister pack numbers.... #6002, and at the same time (1983)!!!!! No
one has ever seen a #6001 Castle Knight's blister pack! (except in the catalog.)
There are other errors out there.....
