OK, I have been scratching my head on this one for a while as I am working on
completing the History of Lego CD...
From 1965-72 the following basic sets were produced in continental Europe,
Britain and Australia (not USA/Canada). This table is from the Lego CD:

The problem is the #077 set of 1972 only. In the Belgian catalog of 1972, it
still shows the #070 set here (right side, middle) in the "NEW" Peeron scans:
http://peeron.com/catalogs/1972/medium/5/
However, in the German 1972 catalog, it shows the same #070 set box, but with
the label #077:
http://peeron.com/catalogs/1972/medium/5/?id=15
I have verified that the box (and 8 story house next to it) is indeed a #070 box
and model.
So that begs the question.... did TLG actually make a 1 year #077 Basic Set, or
NOT? If anyone has other European/British/Australian 1972 catalogs, please let
us know which set is listed in those. Even better, does anyone have a #077 set?
There are no #077 basic sets shown in either Lugnet (no #077 owners or pictures)
or Peeron (no #077 inventory or instruction scans).
Is this set just an error in the German 1972 catalog, or did they really make
this set?
Just wondering if I should delete #077 from my list.

P.S. The #010 small basic set in the Lego CD table above was produced from 1965
until 1972 in some European countries (such as Belgium). In other countries it
was replaced by #011 in 1968 in other European countries (such as Germany).

| Until Peeron gets the catalog bugs out of the system, the 1972 German catalog can be viewed here. The #077 set shown in the German catalog here, is shown as #070 in the Belgian catalog with the identical picture. (URL) you want to see the Belgian (...) (19 years ago, 19-Sep-05, to lugnet.general)

| (...) OK, I just got word back from Billund.... the #077 basic set DOES exist... It was sold from Jan. 1,1971 until Dec. 31, 1972 in Germany. The set is IDENTICAL to the earlier #070 (1967-72) basic set, except for the box number. Other European (...) (19 years ago, 27-Sep-05, to lugnet.general)
