Hi

I saw this on Amazon Prime, and I was instantly curious as to what the name really
means

 
Set No: 2729  Name: Greedy (Quattro Leg) polybag
* 
2729-1 (Inv) Greedy (Quattro Leg) polybag
17 Parts, 1999
Sets: Universal Building Set: Classic Basic

Why is this packaged as a McDonalds set, and it has nothing to do with Quattro?

Maybe this is an item that needs to be 'sorted out'?

Regards,

Paul

I don’t know anything about McDonald’s characters, but wouldn’t Quattro be their
here-depicted four-legged spiderish characer?

What you have said does kinda make sense, but surely the naming of the set could
be a little 'clearer'?

If you check the links to other databases on the bottom right of the catalog
detail page, you'll note that all of them use the same name for it.

I wonder if "Quattro" by chance has the same name as the theme.
Either way - the offical set name given by Lego's Part's and Replacement
site is "Greedy"
Is the "Quattro" name on the bag or listed anywhere else? If not, we should change
it to the official name, I would think.
