Are there any sites out there with approval to show the new Creator or
Belville sets?

About the inner cardboard trays, I just busted up abunch of 4728s, most of
them had the trays, but a few didn't. Some soccer sets I busted up early
last summer were mixed (50/50) boxes too.I guess it depends on what line of
the factory is pumping out the sets on any given day?

2 random thoughts:

1. (looks closely at the box shots) do I detect a return to inlaid-card
trays for medium sized boxes? (My new 4728 certainly has one) If so, great!
- I hate the perforated seal boxes that get torn when they're opened, and
can't be used to securely keep pieces in afterwards.

2. I wonder why the new SW sets are now in the 44** series, and the
Adventurer's sets are in the 74** series? shouldn't this be the other way
around???

enjoy,
Chris

(...) a good question...! (...) sounds very feasible... thanks for the insight - I don't often get more than one of any set so I hadn't noticed this phenomenon 'til now. I hope that more sets with trays make an appearance in the future... :) cheers, (...) (22 years ago, 14-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)
