Hmm. That answers my question of which one came with set 125, but
leaves me with a puzzle: where did my 1x2x3's come from, then? The
only sets I got as a child in the 70's were 125, 410, and 420. All of
the rest of my collection has been obtained since 1993. I did get some
random parts from a co-worker's son, but that kid was born in the 80's.
Heh. I just looked at <set:148> and it appears to have both the 1x2x3
and the 1x3x4, in addition to minifigs that don't fit thru either size
door! Is it possible that set 125 had both?
