Goodmorning everyone!
Set 71040: are there 2 versions? I noticed that the front box "type 1" under
the word "16+" has:
- the number of pieces
- the word "building toy"
- has 7 minifig.
The front box type 2 does NOT have the number of pieces and does not have the
word "building toy"; has 5 minifig.
Are there any fakes?
Also on the small side where there are minifigs in the type 2 box there are no
small writings.
Thanks as always for the info.
Paul

Set No: 71040  Name: Disney Castle
* 
71040-1 (Inv) Disney Castle
4043 Parts, 7 Minifigures, 2016
Sets: Disney
 
Original Box No: 71040  Name: Disney Castle
* 
71040-1 Disney Castle
Original Boxes: Disney

Maybe just a US / EU difference on the boxes: number of parts is an obligation
in the USA, it’s rarely on EU boxes.

For the minifigures, 5 are Disney characters, 2 are statues. They just decided
the statues weren’t real minifigures after all.

There might be other differences in the production runs: newer variants, different
extra parts….

At least, for now, no one has come and said the inventory was wrong
