The date of the three Weetabix sets was 1977: the final year for the
arm-less minifigs and the first year for ridged tyres.

The castle on the other hand, could have been produced anywhere through the
60s: wavey flag and plenty of grey plates, although that yellow plate on the
drawbridge suggests later in the 60s and possibly (as suggested) 1970...

The Brickshelf TOS prohibits posting complete catalouge scans in the • members
area. I've emailed the scans to the submit area of Brickshelf. Since I
haven't seen any new sets since June, I don't know if he's still accepting
uploads.

I've XP this to admin.database so hopefully Suz or friends will add these
four sets to the Lugnet Database. Unfortunately, Lugnet also uses a • numeric
system, so it will be a challenge on how to number them into the Database.

Admins: Here's the list (by Huw Millington) from another post in this • thread:
http://www.btinternet.com/~hmillington/lego/weetabix.html
There are four sets: a castle, a house, a windmill, and a shop.

Thanks to Phil, I now also have a set of the castle instructions.
Does anybody have the instructions for the other sets?

Please get these onto Brickshelf!!! Ian Bishop was looking for proof of • this

We'll all be happy bunnies (or "Quickies" if you're that way inclined) • ;-)
