I've been browsing the LUGNET sets database recently, and found a few
omissions and changes that need to be made in the early Samsonite sets.
Who do I contact to correct these?
Here are what needs changing:
The following sets list 1967 as the start date for the sets, but the
date should read 1961:
#702, 703, 705, 708, 711, 717, 725.
Sets 717 (Junior Constructor), 725 (Town Plan), and 246 (Town Plan
Board) all had 2 completely different sets under the same name and
number.
The early (1961- early 1962) version of these sets are seen (Bill
Katz/Joe Lauher site) here:
http://www.chem.sunysb.edu/msl/LEGO/60s_d2.jpg
The later (late 1962 to 1964) version of these sets are seen (Bill
Katz/Joe Lauher site) here:
http://www.chem.sunysb.edu/msl/LEGO/60s_e2.jpg
These are (with the exception of the Town Plan Board) totally different
models and streetscapes, and should probably both be listed, yes/no?.

P.S. The only way that I know the early/late 1962 dates is because I
have a November 11, 1962 New Yorker full page advertisement on LEGO that
shows the newer version of these sets, which I think came out for the
holidays that year.
