Oppps,
My mistake, I should have stated that any set that was produced after 1979 was
given a 4 digit set number. If a 3 digit number (say castle sets #375 and #383)
was produced in continental Europe or elsewhere, and not introduced to the USA
until after 1979, then a 4 digit set number was issued for the USA (or any
country that had a set introduction after 1979). And the 3 digit set numbers
continued until the 3 digit sets were discontinued. That's why some 1980's sets
have the 3 & 4 digit counterparts.
Any set that was first introduced starting in 1980 or later will have the same 4
digit number everywhere.
After 1979 however, Basic Sets still had 3 digit numbers, but the same 3 digit
numbers for all locations. Basic sets #722, #733 and #744 (introduced in 1979)
are examples that had the same numbers in all countries.
This gets very confusing!

| Oh, and one last item..... Did you ever wonder why in the 1970's the Yellow Castle set was numbered #6075 in the USA, and #375 in Canada, continental Europe, Britain and Australia.... Did you ever wonder why the London Bus was #760 in USA and #384 (...) (18 years ago, 10-Apr-06, to lugnet.general)
