Yep, they're auctions... nice scans though. But John, why do the descriptions on these 2000 sets still say: "With the low starting bid and no reserve you can pick up this discontinued set cheap!" And what's the difference between this and (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

When I was looking at the lego.com catalog a few weeks ago to preview the new Castle sets (they have since vanished - a mistake at LEGO?), I saw under the Knight's Kingdom heading a small set that greatly interested me.

(...) Well, I also remember this mini-set... and recently John DiRienzo posted something that had 4801 and 4807 as numbers for sets (that he didn't have scans for, but he knows about, I guess), so it's probably one of those...

I don't think that is available yet. And, apparently that picture was not supposed to debut so soon, as we've been told, and they would prefer we didn't discuss it. It "sounds" like a polybag set, except in one of those little bitty boxes. Maybe (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
