I was in Sweden back in December and in a couple of the stores I went into
they had parts packs for slopes, doors and windows, and wheels.  They were
(compared to US prices) extremely expensive, about 2x S@H as I recall.  I
didn't buy any but I regret not picking up the slopes pack because it
contained
some of the 3x3 corner slopes.

OK Rob Farver probably hasn't seen this post yet, but if he did he'd be asking
the same question that I'll ask...  3x3 corner slopes!!!!  In a Swedish parts
packs?  I'm assuming that we are talking low slopes in RED, right?  And not
any other color, right?  If that is the case, are these only in the Swedish
sets?  Or how about the rest of Europe?

Up until now low sloped parts packs have only included the following:
2x3,.4x3, 2x2 peaks, 4x2 peaks.

Any other comments from our European friends?

(...) Maybe they were old parts packs? I have one or two roof parts packs from before my Dark Ages, and I happen to have 8 or so, I think, 3 * 3 low corner slopes (in red). Not the reverse slopes, unfortunately :) Jasper (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
