   Discussion by ToddMyers · June 2015 · Home› Collecting

   Somehow, 432 Brickset members claim to own Set 5642, but I have yet to find anyone who can show me either original instructions or the original polybag. Does anyone have any evidence that this set was actually released by LEGO? I do know that the instructions are available for download on the LEGO website, and several…

   I'm not claiming international conspiracy. Given that the instructions for this set have been floating around since 2009, I think that 432 people could have easily purchased copies of it or built their own version (I've seen it for sale on fleabay, but never with the original polybag and never with original instructions).…
