Agreed, I'm a stickler for the documentation and other little bits as well.

If you can link me to a source that says they came together I'll update the above posts. I've got Nightram's video saying that they came as a set, but he didn't get his from Nintendo, he got his from Kotaku through a charity raffle. Then I saw some other sources that cite Nightram's video.

But I didn't see any that say they got their whistle and treasure chest together from Nintendo. Joystiq/Engadget saying specifically they were separate, GoNintendo with their treasure chest unboxing video showing what came in the actual shipping box (no whistle). Also the dates were different according to the firsthand sources I found. November 20 for the train whistle and December 1/thereabouts for the treasure chest. The game came out on December 7, so it makes sense the press would get the game about a week early and get press images a couple weeks before that.

Edit: Oh, and articles/videos cited are posted inside the Spoiler tags in case you missed em
