I'm sitting here laughing, had to share this. When I read Jasper's comments I
went to check the official LEGO Facts & Figures book, thinking the trivia was
probably pulled from there. I wanted to see if it matched in the book. Well, I
don't see it there but, on page 1 it states that this is the, "23nd edition."
He he! I can't even pronounce that one.
