Wow. That's *two* errors in the new Castle sets box printing. The other one
is on the 6095 Royal Joust, which has the Portuguese name for 'Guarded
Treasury' instead of the correct one. Bizarre. I wonder what happened?
I wonder if LEGO changed companies that make the boxes? I notice that all
the new sets are in sealed boxes like the Star Wars sets, without the flip-up
'see the pieces' lids. That's kind of disappointing. I wonder if it was done
to cut costs on printing - and weren't those display trays manually filled?
