The different interior is because the set was released in 2000 and produced through
2003 (at least). In 2000 they still used those transparent part trays (inlays)
to present some interesting parts. Sets from later production runs did not have
that tray anymore and the parts from the tray just came in an additional bag.
Of course this does not explain why they changed the age recommendation. Maybe
it was just a marketing decision to make the set more interesting for younger
children (or their parents).

I have tried to place the base plate as roof as per pictures attached but I keep
getting the incompatible error message.
Can anyone guide me on this? Thanks

Baseplates don't have bottom tubes, so you won't be able to use them
as roof plates as you are trying to do (hence the name baseplate). Instead,
what you need is a regular 16 x 16 plate:

🙂 price on used ones wasn't bad, it was just trying to find 6 or more in
one place that was hard!

The recent Batmobile set inspired me to do the same for Adam West's sweet
ride. As far as I could tell the original 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car was
white or possibly light pea soup green (it's hard to tell from the old photos).
I found lots of photos of people's own concepts cars in a rainbow of colors
and red looked the sharpest so I went with that.
Even though I tried to stay close to the original LEGO design, this project wasn't
as easy* as I initially thought it might be. I had to significantly rework the
front and back ends and raise the body by half a plate so the wheels would clear
the new wheel wells (the Batmobile added a fender whereas the original Futura
really didn't have much of one). Undoing the enormous rocket booster was
also a challenge.
I'm still not totally satisfied with the back end (I've tried a number
of variations), so if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Overall
though it was a fun little distraction!
* and what's the deal with this part?
It hasn't been produced in red in 10 years! I didn't think such an unassuming
piece would be so difficult to acquire. Finding a seller with 6 in stock was
a challenge.

| | | Look at the UPC bar-code on the box edge. That should give you a clue what market
the set's box was originally destined for. If it begins with 0 or 6, that
is likely North America. If it begins with a 5, that is typically Europe.

They both seem the same to me. For better understanding, I will include some
pictures. Also, how the box is organized inside seems slightly different. First
3 pictures are from the 7-12 set, the other ones from 8-12.

| | Hello everyone,
since I am quite new here, I am not even sure this is the right forum, if not,
please tell me.
I recently acquired 2 sets 6098, both sealed, but one has written age "8 - 12"
while the other one has "7 - 12". I found images of both versions online, but
not whether there are any more differences or if one is more rare than the other.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
|
At a guess I would say one is set 6098 and one is 6091?
Or it's possible one of the copies you have was originally sold in Europe
and one in maybe North America and they had different boxes / age guides for
the different areas they were being sold in.
|
They have both written 6098 on them, I already checked whether that could be
the case.
