Could you confirm (double-check) that it actually is 687 according to the box,
and not 688? (My old data for this set from Jeff S said 688. Might've
originated originally from a catalog, but the box is more official.)

But Outback wasn't released until 1997 and Gator Landing is a 1996 set, so
it does kinda match up. Maybe you saw 6490 and remembered 6563?

If this is the same 1060 set that I have, then it actually has 36 pieces --
it's got 12 trees (6 each of two types), 6 gray 4x4 plates, 6 roadplates
(3 different types), and 12 road signs. Is that what you saw?

Any other info on this one? (year, theme/category, price?)

Do you mean that it actually contained 4 copies of a bag that was labeled
"6427"? Or that it was equivalent to 4 copies of 6427

No, but thanks for asking. Looks like the note there was referring to an old
obsolete early quick-scan of the set.

Yes, currently that's the desired "best" and cleanest photo for a set (for
sets that have instructions) but ultimately the DB will also support scans
of alternative models from the boxes, and alternative views from snippets
of catalogs, etc...so that people can view each set multiple ways.

There's a column in the listings here
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/lists.html
which shows Y or N telling whether or not there's an image. Although it
doesn't codify the quality of the image, it's better than nothing. If you
have a spreadsheet app, it oughta just import a cpoy of that file pretty
easily and then you can sort on that column and see which holes you could
help "plug."
Thanks,
