Some initial thoughts in promotional sets in my lunchbreak...
Categorising promotional sets will as you suggest be frought with
difficulties. That's why I went for the 'keyword' method of categorising
them in my database, which can be a type of set (e.g. ferry), the name or
type of the co-promoting company (Shell, Kelloggs, airline) or a LEGO
theme/subtheme (Adventurers). I guess with your fuzzy categories you'll be
able to make a freestyle set that is sold only on ferries 80% freestyle, 10%
ferry, 10% Stena Line (or whatever)
Some promotional sets are promotional in one country, but available from
regular outlets in others, such as the 28xx sets.
A promotional set to my mind is any set that has not been given a set number
in the same range as others of its type. LEGO must have deviated for some
reason - usually its obvious why, but sometime not.

| OK, so here's my whole spiel on themes... This is a medium-term planning thing (1-3 months) and a background task while other stuff goes on. I don't expect we'll have the new theme tree completely worked out before the end of January or Februrary. (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
