Lugnet is missing many promo sets. Brickset is by far the better
reference for promos. I guess it just isn't a priority of the data base
managers, combined with folks not being sure how or where to submit
data.

I also don't expect TLC to hand out data on all the sets produced, for
one thing, they may consider such somewhat proprietary information
(which of course CAN be discovered).
