Its funny, they actually did fix one of the errors right away. The picture
for the 2x8 brick pack was actually a 2x10. That was mentioned here and fixed
very quickly.
I would think they would fix the page although I think they must be pretty
embarrased by the errors. I think the fact that they can't tell the
differances in the slope of roof peeks to be pretty alarming. Luckly I have
lots of extra peeks so I don't need 45 degree peeks. I don't know if LD knows
how limiting it can be in making complex roofs without the correct degree of
slope on the roof.
I have to guess that there was a big mixup when it came to the windows. My
guess is that they thought they ordered what was pictured but that was not what
was manufactured, which would be extremely embarrasing. And then calling
something a train window that no one hear considers a train window. Plus the
Green Glass in the doors is the oddest thing of the bunch.
Hopefully they are learning from their errors this time around and the second
round will go smoother although with the limited release of this round I am
pretty astounded at the number of errors.

That would probably only get you a small percentage as I am sure lots of people
either wouldn't post or wouldn't want the world knowing what they ordered. I
personally ordered some windows, tiles, and 2x4 red slopes and I got a total of
10 bags to maximise savings but for me this was more a test order than anything
else.

I doubt it. I would guess the next catalog will reach the widest number of
people. Then after that I would guess there will be some inserts in sets to
get the rest.

| (...) That error actually showed the wrong piece whereas the other errors we've mentioned have been in color and nomenclature. Although we would argue that the low slope apex brick is the wrong brick, it can be used (in most cases) in place of the (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
