LEGO Historian Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 OK... ToddMyers on Brickset first brought this up the other day.... The question of whether this particular polybag set - 5642 Tipper Truck from 2009.... was it actually a produced set? Or was it cancelled before production and a scan of the instructions just happened to have gotten out of TLG and gone viral on the Internet?? It is shown in Bricklink.... but no packaging... http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=5642-1 And in Brickset it mentions that 432 people own this set.... with just part of an instruction scan shown... http://brickset.com/sets/5642-1/Tipper-Truck But if you look at the parts in this set.... http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=5642-1 .... then every single part in this set was produced in at least 15 other sets. So those 432 people who claim to own this set, could all have just built it from spare parts. Does anyone have the Polybag that this set came in? If not... then this mystery set may not have actually been produced.... and the instructions may have been from a set that was planned, but never released?? Anyone seen a 5642 set?? Quote
