Elsewhere on Lugnet recently, there was some talk about Lego copyrighting
their models (and stickers, see the new Arctic stickers copyright date) a
couple years in advance of releasing them. It is possible, I guess, if
things are the same now as they were twenty years ago, that they made the
box art, instructions and catalog pictures well in advance, while the type 2
cylinders were common, but did not actually release the sets with the type 2
cylinders. I guess we can't be positive, but I have never had a 677/6077
with type 2 cylinders (and I have had a lot of this set, at least ten
copies, probably not all from USA or Canada). Seeing that this set was
released much earlier in Europe, I would guess (again) if any of the
677/6077s included the type 2 cylinders, they would be European sets
