(...) Those look suspiciously like TLG numbers. I'm definitely going on the assumption that the four-digit number is the actual set number. Steve (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.promo)

I just picked up the first four sets. I had to go to about 8 McD's though. Most had just 1 and 2. The pink in #3 is the same 'darker' pink as in the Belville sets. There are 3 2x8s, 1 4x4, and the 2x3 printed slope in the pink color. Joe (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.promo)

Heres a question: Do the McDonadls's promo sets have Lego set numbers ? I do not see one on the bag anywhere. Nor is there a bar-code to extract the set number from. I did notice an odd code number on the back of #1: 2032/4125052. Is 2032 the set (...) (25 years ago, 31-Oct-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.promo)

(...) The 3x4x1 low slopes with town wheel wells on the underside are smooth. Some of them are printed, some aren't. Whether this qualifies as a traditional "slope" is questionable, but I tend to think that it does. Steve (25 years ago, 31-Oct-99, to lugnet.promo)
