These sets were simply in brown cardboard boxes vs more traditional marketing packaging. I don't see these in the Bricklink catalog. Can they be added? I'm specifically interested in seeing the "LEGO Samsonite 846 Piece Basic Set" added as I have one in an open box but sealed original plastic bags I'd like to list. Here is a link to Brick Economy with the specific set I'm interested in but you'll see a bunch of similar Samsonite era sets that I don't see on Bricklink... https://www.brickeconomy.com/set/SID00125040-1/lego-samsonite-846-piece-basic-set Apologies if this is in the Bricklink catalog already and I've just missed it. In that case, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be helpful! Thanks! Due to their age, it's likely that few people have had an opportunity to inventory these sets, if you search for Samsonite in the catalog you will find a category for Samsonite. Some Samsonite entries lack piece count details and have no inventory at all. The first thing you will need to do is figure out which set number you have and then submit an inventory for it, if one does not already exist. Please post images of the bags, as this can help properly identify which set you have. That's a wonderful find you have there. Cheers ... ghyde I have a couple of these. one is gear set 001 and the other is 310 truck set. they use the normal lego inner box/tray inserted into a cardboard mailing box with the sears catalog number on it.
