I bet it has to do with the number of doors and windows packed in each set. 3734 has 5 left doors and 5 right doors. This is enough doors for 2 Metroliner style cars. However you need 10 windows for each car. So to create your two cars, 2 packs of (...) (21 years ago, 23-Apr-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Because they have a VERY large # of them. Bryan K's post is probably spot on. TLG never has seemed to have a clue about windows/doors - when have you EVER seen a door/window pack that had a proper ratio of doors to windows? I guess in LegoWorld, (...)

I would describe "Freaky desire" as the sensation that occurs as you go on a late night BrickLink hoarding spree, buying out the only 30 copies of some obscure part from 9 (...)

(...) There's an SKU shortage. Combine the doors and windows (in the right proportion) and an SKU is freed up for something else. That's goodness, in my view, as one does where formerly 2 were used.
