Hey all,
I was given a bag of Lego a few days ago that had a number of old set
instructions along with a product catalog that has different names for
almost all of the sets listed. According to the back, the catalog was
printed in Germany by Frank Druck, Preetz / Holst. I'd heard of different
names depending on the country of release but I'd never seen it in a catalog
before! I found the alternate names quite interesting and was wondering if
anyone would be interested in them and if there's a site that seeks to
gather such information.
A few examples:
# set American name - German name? (since it was printed in Germany)
CASTLE
#6074 Black Falcon's Fortress - Castle Draco and the Black Knight
#6067 Guarded Inn - The Town Wall Tavern
#6080 King's Castle - Castle Lion
#6049 Viking Voyager - State barge
TOWN
#6370 Weekend Home - Two Storey Town House (yes, it's spelled with an extra
'e')
#6380 Emergency Treatment Center - Hospital with operating theatre &
ambulance
#6359 Horse Trailer - Horse box and trotting rig
#6381 Motor Speedway - Car Race scene with pit stop
SPACE
#6985 Cosmic Fleet Voyager - Taurean Ore Carrier (I've heard about this one
before)
#6891 Gamma-V Laser Craft - Intergalactic Freighter "Dark Star" with
astronaut
#6940 Alien Moon Stalker - Thunderfoot Launcher
#6972 Polaris-I Space Lab - Star Gate Departure Centre
There are many more! It was really interesting to see how the different
names implied different functions of the sets, especially for the Space
vehicles.
