I obtained that information and the set number in a phone call to LEGO
Shop-At-Home and to LEGO Consumer Affairs. IIRC, I told them that I'd heard
a rumor on the Internet that there was going to Star Wars bucket and I asked
them to query their computer for any information about a "Star Wars bucket."
The information that came back was that the set number was 1886, the name
was "3+ bucket" (or something like that), and that it wasn't going to be
available in the U.S. (this is all from memory...there's a post about it
somewhere...)

It's listed there because it was a planned product, and the information
about the set number was given freely to the public -- the information was
available to anyone who called up on the phone when S@H had it in their
database. I (personally) don't see any reason to de-list a product when
it's been cancelled or delayed if the information about it was obtained
through legitimate means.

I can explain where I personally draw the line, but it shouldn't (IMHO) be
taken as gospel or anything, obviously. I personally draw the line at any
scans or information which has been released to consumers, either on the
phone or in catalogs. Once a first catalog shows up anywhere in any store
in the country, IMHO, then I consider it to have been released to the public
-- if it came from inside a set box and not from a store manager.
