Setnumbers |
It seems that in the LEGO history no guidelines were used for setnumbers.
Some ranges are used twice for different themes (0300-0400 were town-only sets in the early seventies, in the late secenties these number were used for town, space and Fabuland).
Surprisingly in 1989 three sets were released with the same number (1974).
Also a theme can be interrupted by a different series: the Duplo numbers are interupted by the Shell promotion sets 2535-2543.
To make things even more confusing, some European sets have different numbers in the USA: 107 (US-# 901), 854 (US-# 948) and 6140 (US-# 6109).
