Certain production runs of this set   *  4940-1 (Inv) Granite Grinder 104 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1 Book, 1999 Sets: Rock Raiders came with a Rock Raiders comic book, while others did not. If you look closely at the Original Box image, you will note the orange outlined item in the lower right corner of the front surface. That is the indicator that this was the run with the comic book. The copies I have remaining (one of which has a good condition front panel) do not have that orange outlined flash message. Of the 20-30 copies I obtained (between 2001 and 2002) I do not ever recall seeing a comic book. It possible (just a hunch tho) that the comic book was primarily shipped in EU productions runs. I'll try to get a good image of this box front to illustrate the difference. This may also necessitate some adjustment to the inventory to show the comic book to be optional. thanks, Nita Rae

I have a few pictures of the front of one of my sets, prior to selling, that show the difference. In Catalog Requests, cosmicray writes: [...] (31 months ago, Nov 21, 2021, to Catalog Requests)
