many, many thx for all the effort - also for the minifig and LEGO sign sheets!
do I understand correctly when you say that the sticker sheet number with the
canadian flags is 004632? quite an odd numbering:
1) 004158 - with the flags of Germany, Netherlands, Britain, Austria,
Switzerland and Italy.
2) 004159 - with the flags of Portugal, Belgium, France, Japan, USA, and LEG0.
3) 004219 - with the flags of Ireland and Australia.
4) 004632 - with 2 flags of Canada
5) 003432 - with Scandinavian flags
I really wonder about the special treatment for Canadians ;-) does any of you
have a fine conspiracy theory at hand? anyway, this is data I can work with.
