DK published a couple "books" last year that were essentially overpriced Lego

and 2 figures so it seems worth tracking but it only has an ISBN, no Lego set
number, and I'm not sure if it was ever sold by Lego directly.  Inside the cover

Here's the information I have:

Number: ?
Name: ?
Theme: LEGO / SYSTEM / Castle / {Skeleton Army}
Year: 2009
Pieces: 140
Figures: 2
MSRP: $24.99 (USD)

I have both Pirates and Castle versions, and will be buying the Atlantis version
when it releases later.

I too struggled with how to put it into the LUGNET database.  For my sets
database, I used a fake number.  Not having a number available makes the release
tough. I've been through all the documentation looking for a good way to
proceed, and haven't hit upon a solution.  There isn't even a LEGO-style
"8xxxxx" style number that most non-sets use on shop.lego.com

Once a solution is found, I'll get the sets put in.

(...) Have you considered using the ISBN? It's a lot of digits but it's a known quantity. One issue is that if there is a "second edition" I think it will get a different ISBN if the content is in any way different. But that's analogous to the (...)
