So first question:
Is this calendar representitive of when the bucket itself was made, or when
the bucket was filled/packaged?
|
If the grid is molded onto the bucket, then there’s a high probability that it’s
the date of manufacture of the bucket, not the packaging of the container.
That’s more for ISO 9000 and quality issue so they can track any problems. If
there’s a sticker with the calendar grid, then it could be the fill rate.

LEGOSet(4496)
This is a newer set, and I would assume has the new light and dark grey and
brown colors.
|
Correct.
| |
Second question(s):
Were all sets that contained old light and dark grey and brown colors either
discontinued or repackaged and renumbered at the change over between
2003/2004? If not, which ones carried over unchanged (aside from the new
colors replacing the old)?
|
I highly doubt that they would keep the same set numbers and change over to new
gray. I think if it’s got new colors, then it’s a new SKU (Stock Keeping Unit).
The SKU would be tied directly to the set number. Makes you wonder what would
happen if they run out of one particular item in the mix of parts when producing
a tub...you’d have a lot of extra bricks laying around the manufacturing area.
Hm...what to do with those? keep watching--someone at Lego had a great idea....
I’ll let you discover it in the future...(hint...4400 tub)
| |
The green 4107 buckets have a calendar marking of 2002. The yellow 4107
buckets have a calendar marking of 2003.
|
I’d look carefully at the side, see what the set number is. I find it hard to
believe that the same set number would be on three different color buckets. If
it was, then the inventory of the parts would be the same.

| If this issue has already been addressed, then please forgive me. I've searched the Lugnet set database but could not find the answer to my question. I realize that this issue could EASILY be addressed by simply buying one of the sets in question, (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.color, lugnet.general, FTX)
