The 005-2's description currently reads: "USA Fao Schwarz Exclusive."
The 005 originally released in 1965 as a trial offer set advertised through brochures
targeted at parents. It was intended to reach families in the US that were unfamiliar
with LEGO, hence the "discovery" name. It was carried out through Imaginations
Inc from 1965-67, though the 1966 & 1967 brochures omit that name. The trial
offer ended in 1967 and the set released for general retail in the same year.
I've already submitted a request to update the release year to reflect this,
but I've included the 1966 trial offer pamphlet below as a means to demonstrate
my point.
For 1967, the 005 appears at the following stores (nonexhaustive): Discovery
Playthings, Stewarts, FAO Schwarz, Greggs, Marshall Fields, and Polsky's.
I've included my scan of the 1967 Marshall Fields catalog as an example.
Please remove the claim that the set was FAO exclusive as it evidently wasn't.
