By the way the #15xx and #16xx sets were promotional sets for companies.
Does anyone know what the #1589 was a promotional set for? Or was this just
(as someone had mentioned in the Lugnet notes) just the European equivalent
to the USA #6390 Main Street set that was only sold in UK and the
Netherlands?

Hello Gerhard,
Which one of the two sets with number 1589
are you refering to? :-)
I guess your question concerns the set with LUGNET reference number
1589_1, Town Square. It is just as
the information in the LUGNET database says (see “Notes:” in lower right

breakfast cereal in the form of relatively large biscuits.
As you might know, the firm Weetabix Limited has patronised quite a few
promotional LEGO sets, see:

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

My mistake, I meant to say “1592”, and instead said “1589” (the 1978 Weetabix UK
set).
So let me ask again (correctly), were there specific companies that promoted the
British (1980) and Dutch (1983) #1592 set?
Thanks,
Gary Istok
