This is laughable.
It would be near impossible for a company to make a press release disappear.
When comapnies issue press releases they go out over the wire and news sources
pick them up. So if LEGO did remove a copy of a press release form their own
web site (which I seriously doubt) then I am sure some news agency has a copy of
it somewhere.
As for 10152 appearing in the S@H catalog, I recall it being on the back cover
of one of them, probably the Spring 2004 issue. Does anyone have one handy? If
so, can you scan it in and post it on BrickShelf so we can all read the 10152
description? I would not be surprised if the "Limited Quantities, Order Now"
icon appeared with the description but TLC does that all the time when inventory
is low and a set is not scheduled for production again.
