[ ... snipped ... ]

At first glance it appears that all 12 boxes are identical although I • won't
know for sure until tomorrow.  All I did tonight was before I got on the
plane was open the boxes and dump the contents into a bag to make it • easier
to carry.

[ ... snipped ... ]

I gave half my load (six boxes) to Cary Clark in return for some stuff he
had picked up for me a while ago so my report is based on six boxes.  Of the
six I got, by in large they were identical with the exception of one of the
small bags of parts.  I had four of one variety and two of another.

I also have parts (within the same packing bag ) of both new brown and old
brown, new dark grey and old dark grey.  I haven't looked at the light grey
close enough but I suspect I have new and old light grey as well.

Interestingly, the instruction book contained in the 4562 box is idential to
the one contained in the 4400 Kroger tub and is marked with set numbers 4104
and 7830.

Mike
