I'm not entirely convinced that violence is the solution to this problem.
However, I agree that there could be improvements on the definition and classification
of gear, books, and sets.

| P.S. The box shown in the pictures is dated 1981, as the 1981 mini train catalogue
confirms.

| Elias is right, 7860 came out at least at first (1980-1981) with 3242a, then
it was replaced with 3242d, and finally at the end of the eighties with 3242b.
Take a look at the attached pictures, in particular the front and back of the
box.

You only need to look at sets (sorry, gear) like this to see why ...
[g=3866]
|
Or this one:
[g=852293]
The box was given it's own gear item number instead
[g=852293stor]
Also... it just boggles my mind that an item with 2,292 LEGO pieces is classified
as gear and not a set. Whoever thought that was a good idea needs a good, swift
backhand.

Well at least it says "set" in the title and it is not described as a "chess
gear"...perhaps they were hedging
