After I received my Santa Fe sets yesterday I was thinking about the
numbers.  Sure it would be nice to have a really low number (like less than
10) but it would also be pretty neat to have a number that corresponds to a
classic or favorite LEGO set.  Imagine if your Santa Fe was number A4558 or
A375 or A6075 or A928.  Personally, I'd love to have A4551 (Crocodile
Engine) or A6542 (Launch 'N Load Sea Port).

Sadly, of the three I received (A1522, A1527, and A1636) only one of them is
actually a LEGO set number and it (1636) was a 3+ Basic Bucket of Bricks
(http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1636) - not very glamorous!

Weoird, but cool. My 354 was a set from 1972, the year I was born. Not really excited about the content, but at least its "town". My other number (94) was from a set which didnt have much info attached to it. But the picture was cool. -Rob "Mike (...) (23 years ago, 24-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Ours is A4989, which sadly does not correlate to any LEGO set, according to the LUGNET database. My member number, 874, however, corresponds to an old Technic Accessory Set <set:874>. But I am pleased to report that after many years of trying (...) (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Just received my train today, and unfortunately, while the number doesn't match any set, I'm quite happy with the number I did get... 777 It's pretty low for a release of 10,000 and triple sevens is doubly cool. I think the only other number (...) (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
