It sounds the same.....Looks like LA decided to copy the european catalogue,
ditching stuff they didn't want [ZNAP, SCALA, SERVICE PACKS], put a
disclaimer so they don't have to repeat the soccer set fiasco [where the
catalogue showed them, the price lists/order forms for retailers didn't and
it took a fair amount of lobbying from Australian lego collectors/kids to
get them released here.] and translated it to english. As yours was released
a month ago, it's a safe bet that it is the same...lego takes a while to
arrive here :(
It could just be the printing, but the wheels seem dark grey, with black
tyres on 'the boss'...
As I don't have net access here, and have only flicked through the
catalogue, I haven't looked at the URL's...maybe on the train tonight...
