Another set that had 2 variations came out in 1989... the 6661 MOBILE TV STUDIO
SET. This set came with a "TV" pattern on two 1x4x3 blue panels, and two1x1
yellow tiles with the number "2" on them. The box and instructions also showed
these parts. This set would have been just another regular LEGO set, if it
weren't for a German TV Station...
WDR (Westdeutsche Rundfunk) is a Television station located in Cologne (Köln) in
the German state of Northrhine Westphalia (Nordrhein Westfalen). This TV
station appears to have ordered a quantity of these 6661 sets for a TV station
promotion. The specific reason for it is not known (yet). The sets produced
for this promotion had the two 1x4x3 panels printed with the "WDR" logo of that
German TV station. However, it appears that TLG printed the WDR emblem "over"
the existing "TV" emblem on the 2 panels, with the outline of the (regular sets)
TV emblem very faintly visible underneath. Also... the only difference between
the regular set and the promotional set are the 2 "WDR" blue panels. This set
came with the same yellow 1x1 tiles with "2" on them. This promotional set had
the same box and instructions (showing "TV" on the blue panels) as the regular
6661 set. This WDR version of the 6661 is very rare, so the production
distribution of this variation was likely limited to northwestern Germany. A
6661 set owner would have to break the seal, and open the box in order to see
which of the versions he had. So MISB for this set version is not a likely
possibility, since the outside boxes of both versions both show the same "TV"
images.

| LEGO stickers were introduced in circa 1972. Prior to that LEGO sets would have printed bricks... mostly in the 1x6 and 1x8 sizes. However with the advent of stickers, the printed bricks became much less used in LEGO sets, thus saving a lot of money (...) (12 years ago, 28-Jan-13, to lugnet.general)
