Lego technic 8455 box,s

[davidmull]

I'm in the process of buying a 8455 backhoe but there is one thing interesting me a lot and that's why did they come in differant box styles and colours,from what iv seen there is a black box and a yellow box! There is also an other yellow box with more info as in how many pieces are in the set! What's the reason for these 3 differant boxes?

Also an other thing that always bothered me is why did they put 11-99 on the yellow box and never on any other set? Iv asked these questions on the backhoe compressor tread but got no answers!

Thanks Daniel but why did they put the age limit 11-99 tho? I'm looking at a new set at the moment for €200 misb but it has the black box and I actually prefer the yellow :)
