Suggestion : Separate Lego Item ID for EU and NA

Jimjimdu78

Hello

In the catalog for a set,
Is it possible to separate the Item's number in 2 categories EU and NA for
Set : Item number EU , Item number NA
Packaging : Item number EU , Item number NA
Instructions : Item number EU , Item number NA

Thanks, JM

Forgive me if I'm in error, but doesn't LEGO only use one item number for sets? I know some sets have had variants between EU and US over the years (e.g., some sports sets), but in general, isn't say the Speed Champions McLaren Elva Set Number 30343 (as printed on packaging) everywhere in the world?

Lego item number is the only real reference. like the element design ID, this number increase each month.
The number set is common for worldwide, but not the item number. So Lego separate Nord America (NA) and worldwide (or EU)
So you have two different number for set, instruction and packaging

Mrs Swoop

@Calibrick yes I think you're right, and if it isn't then surely they're just different sets and would be listed separately.

Some recent sets do have different numbers in the US and Europe - the GWPs in yellow boxes for example.

Are you relating to the EAN? This is indeed a European Article Number. Is there something similar in NA?

Stellar

@Hoddie Those have different IDs because the viewable number is the one of the printed instructions, and as stated before, different printed ones have different item numbers.

Hoddie

Ah yeah indeed. It's because it's the most visible number that's how I store mine.

@patpendlego EAN is a barcode for EU, UPC is a barcode for US or for international.

@Calibrick example for McLaren Elva Set 30343 :
Set Item No 6332474 is for EU or 'IN' International
Set Item No 6332476 is for NA North America
Instructions Item No 6355653 is for EU or 'IN' International
Instructions Item No 6355654 is for NA North America
Packaging Item No 6338889 is for EU or 'IN' International

Jimjimdu78

Packaging item No 6338891 is for NA North America

Mrs Swoop

So in this example is the set with Item No 6332474 actually different to the set with Item No 6332476?

Jimjimdu78

@Mrs Swoop . The set is no different (same parts). Only references LEGO are different.

Calibrick

Interesting, I'm learning a lot here today!

Mrs Swoop

So as both Item Nos are listed against the set, is that not sufficient?
