Hallo to All,

my first topic, so please be mercyful...

I've bought back in 2015/2016 two sets, but I found out with two different
boxes graphics (picture attached).
Can someone help me to understand? They where both bought directly at Lego.

Thanks,
Andrea.

I am no expert on boxes but here are what i think happen.
All set where done in Denmark (cant remember if they had start any more factory
at this point).
The top box are for the US market. It needed a part count on it.
The lower box are for the rest of the world.
You got both probably because the run out of the rest of the world box.

The big Image Bricklink have are from later and are a combine of the 2 (why do
2 boxes when you can just do 1 and send it to everyone).
So now we have 3 different boxes for the same set.

 
Original Box No: 10243 Name: Parisian Restaurant
* 		10243-1 Parisian Restaurant
Original Boxes: Creator: Creator Expert: Modular Buildings Collection

If you can upload a picture of your boxes (one at the time) as a alternative
images for the original box.

Hope this help.
Have a nice day.
