That's weird. I saw that too, now that you mentioned it.
What with the 6091/6098 mixup, my assumption is that someone in packaging
really blew it :-)

Jus' kiddin'.
But this isn't the only castle set that's getting mixed up...
Did anyone see other mixups/misprints/misfits in the 2000 sets?

(...) I think it'll be a polybag set anyway, so I'd just ignore the box. (...) Other than the Portuguese "Guarded Treasury" on the Royal Joust? ;) Jeff (27 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

(...) Its strange responding to my own message, but I just went back to lego.com and the 2000 sets are relisted again in the n.a. catalog, and I also enlarged the picture of the box and the number on it clearly is 4801 NOT 4811. (27 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
