snefroe Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 hey people, i was browsing in a toy catalog from a Belgian toy shop called 't Bazarke" and in there's city's petrol station with a 'limited edition' drawing. It also has a warning sign (probably the normal choking hazzard) but i can't read it. I just don't know what this is about. The station wasn't a limited edition, was it? *wacko* it also looks like an American box, because it shows the piece count, which is unusual for European boxes. Anybody any clue to what this is all about? Quote
Matn Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I just had the same! When i looked friday at the mail there were some toy calogi in it, and in one of them i saw this one also. I think it was just a mistake and the two shops did look at the same source for the pic. Well... After all it's Belgium?! :'-) Quote
andy_0306uk Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Anyone got a scan of the catalog so we can try to decipher which set it is? Quote
snefroe Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 well due to copyright reasons i cannot just put it on the internet |-/ , but the set is exactly the same as the usual one, it just looks like the US version + the text 'limited edition". maybe they got it from an American catalog or from a supply that was supposed to go to the Us, but that only solves the US element, not the limited edition thing Quote
andy_0306uk Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 From what I can see in their online catalog, it shows this but isn't this just set 7993 ??? Surely this can't be a limited edition? Or have I got the wrong pic from the catalog? Quote
Matn Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Yes, that's the picture. As shown on the box it says: "Limited Edition!" Because it is a picture from the US and Canada, there it is a Limited Edition, but not here. Quote
snefroe Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 Yes, that's the picture. As shown on the box it says: "Limited Edition!"Because it is a picture from the US and Canada, there it is a Limited Edition, but not here. yeah... thought something like that, but just wasn't sure... didn't know this was limited edition in the US though...

andy_0306uk Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 yeah... thought something like that, but just wasn't sure... didn't know this was limited edition in the US though... I didn't think it was limited edition anywhere until I was looking on Brickset for pics for this thread (poor US and Canada) Quote
natelite Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 it is a limited edition. available from TRU US. i own this set. it's great... *wub* Quote
steelharbingerofdeath Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 it aint no limited set, i have seen it in nearly every toy shop i go to. the green container truck was limited edition, hoth base, republic cruiser, it is a marketing strategy to get us to buy it. steel... Quote

Never see it in a walmart or target. lego stores yes...but then they carry everything except promo poly bags. Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Meh. |-/ Bugger Lego and their Limited Editions. They're so expensive!! Anyways, ya, it must be a pic from across the pond. Quote
