Well I was looking at an old wooden box set I found in Germany 20 years ago, it
was #712. I don't think I have seen it anywhere else (EBAY or ??) since. But
what intrigued me about it was it came with the very collectible #238 -BUILDING
IDEA BOOK #1 (here is Swedish collector Anders Isaksson's incomplete Swedish
version of it on his website):
http://w1.161.telia.com/~u16122508/ideabook/index.htm
This (1960-61 version without wheels/black bricks) #238 book came with the #712
set, and is listed as #238 in the set contents.
In this case a Lego book (with number) came within a set. Are there any sets
that came within a set? Not attached on the outside like the creator set with
the 500 extra parts, but actually a set within a set.
The only one that comes to mind is the #725/#810 (USA/Europe) Town Plan set of
1960-66 that has within it a complete #310 Esso Service Station. And parts packs
don't count.
Just curious, I bet there are quite a few.....
