What happened to set # 10180?

WesterBricks

There is #10179 UCS MF, and #10181 Eiffel Tower, but no set # 10180.

I can't find any clues in the Brickset database, Forum posts, Lugnet, or anywhere else online. Obviously they planned for it in the set numbering, but it was never produced, or even spoken of apparently.

I heard it was an Osprey Pod Factory but nothing much otherwise...

There are many such gaps in set numbers. Lego’s use of them doesn’t always make sense (to us), and once you think you’ve determined the pattern, they go and break it (e.g. the two Saturn V sets).

That might have been my fault... I did a spoof before I knew LEGO hated fans doing it.


Built as part of an fbtb competition, other crud photos of it are in my old brickshelf folder.
