The 540 set that I have is a US version from 1974. I really beleive that the
pine tree came in the set, Mike got an egg tree and the box shows the old
tree. Is this possible?
Is the egg tree stiff? The abs used for the pine tree in this set feels like
they used the regular brick abs. TRhe p-lastic they use for the pine trees
today is different than the bricks and is flexible. This pastic is almost
brittle it is so stiff.
