Well, the one I got had him on the front of the box next to the picture of
the set on the front. Maybe if you shake the box, he'll come into sight
through the goal ?

BTW, this blows the Sepo's theory of Spielberg being the first
'real-life'[1] lego minifig produced [movie studio set]...can't remember
what thread it was, sorry.

[1] A minifig based on and resembling an actual, named person, not a movie
character [like star wars].

Just curious...has anyone found 3401's with the 2 figs • featured in the
catalogue and on the box, instead of the green guy and 'zidane'?

Is there any way of distinguishing a 3401 with Zidane from a
3401 without?
(Without opening the box, that is!)

Don't know where I've been, but I didn't buy a shoot and score because
it seemed a bit pointless having bought all the other sets, I didn't
realise there was a variation to the cat/box pictured set.  Now, if
I can be sure of getting one with the "special" figure I
might just have
to retract that idea.

I'd assume that Zidane is there because of the Adidas
sponsorship/endorsement
(whatever) buso with the Lego soccer sets in general, rather than any
special regional deal, he's plastered all over everyhthing including

(...) I didn't actually look at the boxes that closely, I'd just assumed that the set as pictured would be the actual contents (Lego are usually pretty precise about these things!). That'll teach me :) Now I've got to hope that Toyworld haven't sold (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
