In the Bricklink catalog set 21038 is mentioned but if I remember well it was
discontinued before it was ever sold.
All due to the shooting from the Mandalay Bay hotel.
In my believe Lego showed the box art before the shooting and well before it
entered shops.
After the shooting it was discontinued without making it going to shops, before
a real release.
If so I think this set shouldn’t be in the catalog, there is most likely no set
to be found ‘in the wild’.
Therefore it might be poluting the catalog.

The set should be in the catalog, but it definitely should have an additional
note added that provides some detail regarding the set.

Thanks for your links to these websites.

I see some escaped the Lego factory somehow.
It also showed I can trust my memory but should have googled the set too!

I wish all a very nice Christmas, far away from horror like what happened at
Vegas or anywhere else!
