Hello all,
It is strange to reply on my own message, but the story continues. This weekend
I went to a few toyshops to find out something more about this set. It was
available in a few shops but the strange thing was that ther are two
versions of this set. One with the word FABULAND on it, one without the
word FABULAND on it. Otherwise both versions were exactly the same as far
as I could see it.
Trying to explain again:
1) The version without FABULAND was there before the one with FABULAND: This
seems very strange to me, why would they put it deliberately on the set?
2) The version with FABULAND was there before the one without FABULAND: This
seems more likely to me, but then the question remains: when was it changed?
Carl Watson only mentioned the word to me 8 or 9 days ago and one week ago I
posted about it. Could LEGO have made new layouts and spread them to different
stores in less than 1 week? Not likely to me.
If they have changed it before, then why took it them over 10 years to repair
the mistake?
Greetings,
Sybrand
