So-- reading through the instructions for the "game" in 7418, it mentions:

And in the 7417 instructions, very similar:

"You can even extend your adventure by linking up Orient Expedition - Mount
Everest with the Orient Expedition - India and the Orient Expedition - China
games."

What's this "Orient Expedition - China"? Notice also (those who have the
instructions) that on the back cover, 6 of the 8 released sets are depicted
on a loosely geographic map (the missing sets being 7414 Elephant Caravan
and 7415 Areo Nomad; the only sets without 'buildings'). But the interesting
part is that there's two extra buildings located in what would appear to be
China! Mid-year release of more Orient sets perhaps? Maybe a sneak peek at
the 2004 lineup?

I thought maybe the website might show more, but sadly the web address that
they put on the instructions ( http://www.LEGO.com/orient ) yields a "Page
not found" error on Lego's site. Note the box just gives the Lego site
without the /orient extention...

(1) notice the misuse of the hyphen after Mount Everest!

Hi

This sounds like exciting news. Does anyone have a scan of the back cover
with the China sets?

Perhaps these sets could be the missing set numbers 7413 and 7416?
