hi gary,

valuable info but it still does give no clues about the sheet numbers! I¬
have authored most of the flags for LDraw:

<http://www.holly-wood.it/ldraw/authored-en.html>

where I used the sticker sheet number for the parts number. since we have¬
also the japanese, US and belgium flag at the PT but no sheet number at
hand¬ we would like to know if the second sheet number of the #939 is
identical to¬ the second sheet in #940:

<<http://www.holly-wood.it/tmp/Sticker-003432.jpg>>

and if the first sticker sheet number:

<<http://www.holly-wood.it/tmp/Sticker-004158.jpg>>

is the same in both sets? any answers?

bye, w.

Willy,

I purchased the #939 in Germany about 20 years ago, but unfortunately used
all the country stickers and attached them to flags.  All that is except for
the LEGO Sticker, which is still attached to the sticker sheet.

That's why I only have the 2nd sheet of the #939.  And that sheet only still
has the LEGO flag on it (unlike your #940 sheet that has all Scandinavian
flags but no LEGO flag!).

My #939 2nd Sheet has "004159" as the sheet number.

I no longer have the #939 1st sheet.

But here is what I think the scenario is for the #939/#940 sticker sheets:

#940 Sheet 1: 004158 (certain)

#940 Sheet 2: 003432 (certain)

#939 Sheet 1: 004158 (not 100% certain)

#939 Sheet 2: 004159 (certain)

Now, here's an interesting thing... there's a seller on Bricklink selling a
MISB British #939!!!  Unfortunately it is sealed, so it's not as though we
could ask the seller to rip the box open! :-(

It would be very interesting to see if that set contained an Australian and
an Irish flag, as well as other sticker sheet numbers!!! :-)

Cheers,
Gary Istok

Gary,

to be honest I'm a bit confused now 'cos the scenario above doesn't follow any
pattern. Since I'm solely interested in the sticker sheet number for the
portuguese, belgium, french ... flags (to get them right at Ldraw's PT), would
you confirm that the number says "004159"? this would leave us at LDraw with the
following part numbers:

004159a -Sticker System with Portuguese Flag Pattern
004159b -Sticker System with Belgium Flag Pattern
004159c -Sticker System with French Flag Pattern
004159d -Sticker System with Japanese Flag Pattern
004159e -Sticker System with United States Flag Pattern
004159b -Sticker System with LEGO sign Pattern

what confuses me most is the fact that they used the progressive number of the
first sheet in #940 for the second sheet in #939.

bye, w.

(...) Hi Willy, Yes, those 6 stickers match up to the "004159" sticker sheet. I can tell because the sticker sheet has the colors around the edges where the stickers used to be (except for the Japanese sticker, which has a white background and just (...) (18 years ago, 5-Feb-07, to lugnet.general)
