Hi
I found this set on amazon and few other online shops (like ebay)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-Creative-Building-5517-Bricks/dp/B000Z8E3XW
but it's not mentioned on lego.com!

Is it fake, not oryginal or something like that?

regards

Re: 5517 barrel set

Just an inspired guess but LEgo do frequently "retire" sets which means they
disappear from their website.  I am pretty
sure this one is the real thing (a) because I was going to buy one like it a few
years back but never got round to it
and (b) the pictures shown on ebay are stock pictures from amazon.com and I
can't imagine them selling fakes.

Cheers - John Mycroft

Also, you can wait for hell to freeze over before Amazon will deliver anything
described as "unavailable" - look
somewhere else.
