Another unknown LEGO set... this #1902 Japanese set of 1978-80.

What should TLG do with all those early 1980s unusual Minitalia (Italian
pseudo-LEGO) window and door molds and non-ABS plastic that they had leftover
once LEGO sales were allowed back into Italy (after a 1970-73 hiatus)???

....add Minitalia windows (1x6x3 Panorama with 13 panes, 1x4x3 with 12 panes)
and 1x4x5 doors with 9 LIGHTS!!!  ..... all in black to a Japanese 1902 set!

Not found in any online database (but in my DVD/download).

(...) The 1980 Japanese catalog showing the basic sets produced that year shows the very unusual (and very rare) 1902 set (from my DVD/download chapter on LEGO catalogs)... (URL) Istok (12 years ago, 8-Jan-13, to lugnet.general)

Here's another unknown set... this one from 1986, and produced for Japan... (URL) checked with the Billund Archives folks... they have no records of this set either... so they're contacting the Japanese sales subsidiary to ask why that is?? Another (...) (12 years ago, 3-Jan-13, to lugnet.general)
