This is my first official post to Lugnet but I have been lurking for quite a
while. Up here in Canada I have yet to find a 4811 archer. A few message seem
to imply that the set also comes under number 4801. What exactly is the
difference if any?

Chris

There was some confusion when the set first appeared on www.lego.com as it
appeared twice, with different numbers. It seems that 4811 is available in the
US while 4801 is available in Europe.
Don't know about 4801, but 4811 is definitely polybagged.

Good luck in finding one!

I had been under the impression (thanks to the 'top secret merchandise
catalog') that 4801 was actually boxed, although I could be wrong. At any rate,
that would be my guess as to the difference.  Note that the instruction manual
reads 4801/4811 but the polybag only has 4811 on it I believe. After knowing of
the confusion with 6091/6098, though, it could just be a continent/country
dependancy as Shiri suggests... At present, though, I haven't heard of anyone
actually seeing a 4801, though, so we may be in the dark for a while (until one
of our European LUGNETers buys one and posts about it!)
