Dear AFOLs, found this in the discussion forums of 1000steine.de - a big thanks to Thekla for the picture. (URL) So, if TLC really, really wants, they still can make decent sets, even usable for world city & co. Now lets see how it is priced... (...) (20 years ago, 25-May-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Huh.. neat. I don't think I would keep this set together, but probably would be interested in it for the parts. I wasn't able to read the text, but it says 2005 in there, so is this a sneak peak for next year? Also I wanted to mention that for (...)

I typed in the part off to the side and it translates: "Exclusively for the specialized trade". So maybe this won't be available to the general public. (20 years ago, 25-May-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) What I find strange is the two windows being so close together there's no room for shutters, and more importantly, the grey round plate in the column is a brick too high. Lego would never publish a photo of a set with a mistake like that. Duq (20 years ago, 25-May-04, to lugnet.general)
