(...) Looking at the subtheme, I'd say some are town and some aren't. For example <set:6774 Alpha Team ATV> is fairly typical town, but <set:6771 Ogel Command Striker> is definately a space set.

(...) I just double-checked the Alpha Team set numbers, and noticed that they're in the 677x range. That says they're not necessarily Town (which is 6300-6699) and also that it's probably going to be short-lived. But then again they're almost (...)

4801/4811 Defense Archer...these are the same set inside the packaging. (I believe, IIRC, that 4811 is the polybag version.) 4811 has a piece count in the database, but 4801 does not. Both are 14 pieces. (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
