Yes please let us know.  While doing my research on old Lego sets, I sometimes
find that USA and Canada have the same sets.  Then other times Canada will have
some sets the same as Europe, but they are not found in the USA.  Then other

One famous example comes to mind.  The Yellow Castle.  In the USA it is #6075.
In Canada and Europe it is #375.  Go figure??

British Lego Limited  Brit. Pat. 866.557  Printed in Germany by H.O. Persiehl,
Hamburg.  97040-Eng.

So it came across the pond to my hands.  Thought it was a Canadian set.

There is a sticker sheet that states 'Peel off these Golden Studs and stick them
on the Golden Bricks shown on the back of a 1974 LEGO leaflet to claim FREE
GIFTS.  Valid until 1st.January 1976'

I think it's expired.

So there you are.
