Unidentified set 1270-1. Any info is welcome.

[J_D_G]

Hi all,

I'm looking to get some info on a set which is not listed in any of the known lego sets databases.

I already have confirmation that the set is not listed in the Lego collectors guide.

The polybag has reference 1270-1 on the bottom side of the bag. In the BL and BS databases, there is a bag with reference 1270-2 which looks very similar to 1270-1, with that difference that mine mentions the brands Coloraction and Antalis. The 1270-2 set mentions the brand Chromika.

I haven't been able to even find a picture of my set on the net, which makes me think that this must be something really rare.

Any info on the set itself or about it's value is very much appreciated.

Can't seem to find that set. Probably, "Same set, different promotion".

Antalis has teamed up with LEGO to assist in boosting sales of Chromika uncoated paper. This promotion encourages customers to purchase three reams of Chromika in order to receive a free bag of Lego containing 15 pieces in various sizes and colours.

In recent years promotional sets have become more complex in their variety. There are some promo sets, such as the Maersk sets that have a set number, and others that are more geared to only specific group, and don't even have set numbers. This group of 1270 sets is part of that 2nd group.

Here's an example of a LEGO set made for the Autodesk software co.... it doesn't have a set number or even a year on the package....

So the line between a "regular" LEGO set, a public promotional set, and a private promotional set are becoming more blurred. And then there are even those sets as the DONG OIL and RAMBOLL Oil sets, and many others, that don't have a set number. And then there's the sets (such as all the British cathedral sets by the Certified LEGO Builders that make things even more confusing.
