It's so confusing when TLC does this kind of thing! Had another look at
the LUGnet guide, and it does say that 3722, not 5919, is the US-only set.
Mine didn't have TRU 50th Anniversary stickers on them, but stickers that
said "Includes Gold Storage Case" or some such obviosity. I hope this
doesn't count as another variant, my brain can't handle it :-)
Cheers, Heather
