|
| 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.

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.

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).

Ok, thank you, that explains at least part of it. So in terms of (collection)
value both sets would be the same?

I would say the set with the parts tray might be a bit more valuable for some
collectors, but certainly not that much (5-10€ maybe).
