I was looking at a few old Lego catalogs, and I came across some errors that
were made 25-30 years ago.  Here's 2 examples....

Error #1) the 1977 German catalog....

http://horst-lehner.mausnet.de/lego/katalog/gk77/index.htm

It is a nice 16 page catalog... but there is something missing.... 19 sets that
were produced in 1977, but did not make it to the catalog....

Basic Sets: #10, #20, #30, #40, #50.

Homemaker/Sets with People Sets: #210, #213, #215, #254, #256, #258, #263, #277,
#296.

Pre-School (Duplo) Sets: #522, #523, #524, #531, #536.

Later in 1977 a small mini-catalog with all these sets in it was produced.  That
these sets were not in the big catalog shows that somebody goofed!  Maybe the
missing Homemaker sets and Pre-School sets was a minor overlook.... but you
don't forget to put in the 5 major basic sets!!!


Error #2)  the 1983 Canadian Samsonite Catalog...

That catalog shows some small blister packs of minifig sets.  Among them are
#6001 (4 Castle Knight's minifigs) and #6002 (4 Town Minifigs).

Well as it turned out, both the Castle Knight's and Town Minifigs came out with
the same blister pack numbers.... #6002, and at the same time (1983)!!!!!  No
one has ever seen a #6001 Castle Knight's blister pack! (except in the catalog.)

There are other errors out there.....

(...) The most obvious one I can remember was the 1977 UK Catalogue said 67 on the front instead! Phil (19 years ago, 29-Jul-05, to lugnet.general)
